Yes, you are saved, because I have come.
As the commotion arose, the soldiers on the high wall all turned their gazes in that direction. They dared not leave their positions, but they couldn't help but cast their eyes over at this sudden news.
They also hoped to escape this predicament, and hoped that this was not the final roar of people driven mad.
The good news is that Jiang Kehan is real.
Soon, the legion commander strode over, and upon seeing Jiang Kehan, he excitedly knelt down and spoke.
"Are you... Lady Witch?"
"The field army corps commander, representing 8,000 soldiers and 30,200 residents of the fortress, awaits your orders!"
Jiang Kehan glanced around at the soldiers who were holding the line, feeling the tears welling up in their eyes. She exhaled and used her magic to make her voice loud enough to cover every corner of the high walls.
"Yes, I am the witch you have been waiting for. I will lead you to kill all these vile insects."
She tried her best to make her voice serious, steady, and powerful, with an unquestionable tone.
"Commander, have the soldiers come to me in batches to collect their weapons and ammunition. I will show you that even insects can be incredibly vulnerable in your hands."
I will show you what firepower and suppression are.
This is the culmination of thousands of years of civilization from the previous life, representing the purest power.
Jiang Kehan took out three thousand guns from her spatial storage. She had no choice; she only had twenty thousand guns with her, and that was all she could allocate.
But the ammunition was plentiful, more than enough!
As she waved her short cane, ammunition boxes filled the high wall, while firearms were neatly stacked, waiting for soldiers to collect them.
They looked at the strange stick with some doubt in their eyes, but still obediently followed Jiang Kehan's instructions to collect the firearms.
After seeing that the soldiers had received their supplies, Jiang Kehan, with an aggressive smile, spoke to them.
"Next, point the tip of the gun, the narrow end, at the trees, and pull the trigger like on the crossbow until the magazine is empty!"
Nothing inspires more confidence than venting one's anger. Feeling the deafening sound, Jiang Kehan laughed heartily and flew into the air.
"Let me show you what a witch is."
Jiang Kehan used the Fire Resistance Ring in a variety of ways. She raised her crossbow, gathered magic on a special arrow, and then fired it at the center of the forest.
This time, she poured in dozens of points of magic power.
No one knows how far the arrow flew, but from the rapidly spreading crimson opening, thousands of insectoids were pushed out of the forest!
Moreover, they came in waves, just within the range that firepower could handle.
"Kill them! Kill them! Let these insects see your fury!"
"Let them see what fear is!"
Jiang Kehan's voice did not add any extra allure, but all the soldiers with guns had anger in their eyes, roaring and expressing their pent-up resentment with a gunpowder-like tone!
The best way to deal with fear is to eliminate it.
Jiang Kehan sensed their inner transformation, smiled slightly, and recorded their status on her terminal, preparing it as a tutorial video for firearms use in the fortress they were going to visit next.
Wave after wave, until no more insects appeared, the soldiers felt the heat in the air, remained silent for a while, and then roared at Jiang Kehan with all the strength they had ever had.
"Thank you, thank you, Lady Witch!"
Jiang Kehan descended from the sky, pressed down her hat, and responded to them with a smile.
"No, you should thank yourselves. Next, I need two hundred warriors to accompany me to patrol the insects. Who has the confidence?"
Jiang Kehan smiled mysteriously as she looked at everyone's hands raised high.
Now there are tutorial videos on how to conduct guerrilla raids; hopefully, they can save themselves.
I'm just a little witch who wants to save on my workload, right, Miss Bai Bingbing?
She looked up and could almost see the other person's troubled expression, which made her smile even more.
Chapter 59 Firearms and Counterattack
Most of the soldiers who can hold their ground here are experienced veterans. Even new recruits like Andersai, who were transferred from other places, are still quite capable under the long-term pressure.
After all, the truly incompetent ones either died or were sent to the rear after collapsing.
So Jiang Kehan easily gathered 200 warriors. They stood quietly in front of her, like steel-forged thorns in the vast snow, exuding a murderous aura in silence.
It feels like something's missing.
Jiang Kehan glanced around and found that the soldiers were standing there straight with their guns, and none of them were carrying the ammunition box that she had specially made a sling for.
While I'm pleased that you all follow orders, your rigidity is a bit hard to manage.
She couldn't help but touch the back of her head, suddenly realizing why leaders liked subordinates who had their own ideas.
You guys are making me look stupid, having to add more commands.
Jiang Kehan, looking helpless, made each soldier carry an ammunition box. As orcs, they had enough strength to carry these supplies, and the firepower network didn't require much movement speed.
"Listen carefully, insects have no concept of fear. Their retreat is only for a better attack, that is to say..."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat serious. She ordered the soldiers to take the initiative not because she intended to use their flesh and blood to fill the lives of the insectoids, but because she had already analyzed the insectoids' weaknesses with magic before daring to act so rashly.
"When they face danger, their so-called escape is just a way to expose your weaknesses. As long as you stay still, they will definitely come back."
A smile flickered in her eyes as she took out a gun from her spatial storage, fired a few shots into the sky, narrowed her eyes, and continued speaking with a cunning born of wisdom and an instinctive bloodlust.
"Did you hear that? All you have to do is keep pulling the trigger and keep firing, and you'll be riddled with bullets whenever the enemy tries to attack again."
"Ammunition is not lacking, but your lives are. I don't want you to die in front of me; that would be a provocation."
Jiang Kehan glanced at them seriously and spoke calmly.
"You don't want to anger a witch, do you?"
Everyone else present felt as if a blade was pressed against their necks, a chill ran through them, and they began to swallow.
After they calmed down, Jiang Kehan smiled and turned to head towards the woods.
"On my command, proceed into the woods according to the formation we just simulated."
Without a word, Jiang Kehan was met with synchronized footsteps, accompanied by a slight tremor and an air of fearlessness, as they set off.
Jiang Kehan walked at the front of the group, adjusting the angle of the terminal recording video and sensing the live point map transmitted by her magic perception. However, she only glanced at the formation of the soldiers behind her without giving any advice.
She wasn't there to be a babysitter, and given the sheer number of Zerg, she couldn't possibly be a babysitter for every place; ultimately, they would have to rely on themselves.
However, based on the data I've deduced in my mind, this formation will result in minimal casualties as long as the soldiers don't make any mistakes.
Behind them, the outermost group of soldiers consisted of heavily armored soldiers holding heavy shields that reached up to their chins, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
The most terrifying thing about the Zerg is the impact force generated by their lateral movement speed. As long as they have enough weight, they can avoid being killed in one hit. Moreover, this impact force will make them freeze for a few seconds, which is enough time for others to react and weave a fire net.
The soldiers inside were specifically selected based on their height difference, ensuring that those behind could unleash their full power and minimize the time lost by crouching.
This formation is no longer a tortoise; the outermost heavy infantry can't move fast at all, and the overall movement speed is like a snail compared to the Zerg.
But what does it matter?
I'm here to wipe you all out; I'm not the one trying to escape!
Seeing that there were no problems behind her, Jiang Kehan took a deep breath and flew into the air, her magic emanating from her body, signifying that she was ready to give it her all.
This is probably the first time I've ever unleashed all my magic power at once.
Jiang Kehan stared at the vast forest in front of her, recalling Bai Bingbing's indifferent attitude when she contacted her to ask if she could damage the terrain, and she was still somewhat puzzled.
If you don't care about causing damage, why did you invite me here in the first place?
However, with her magic already at its peak, she put the problem aside, took out her short staff, and the power emanating from it materialized under such a large amount of magic.
The wind rose, and the soldiers strained to open their eyes, not wanting to miss a single moment of the witch's immense power.
There was no chanting, no inexplicable runes, yet the power gathered here.
Jiang Kehan casually swung her short staff, and in an instant, the sky changed color, with dark clouds suddenly appearing in the sky.
As she silently chanted, "Pray for rain - White phosphorus combustion special fire rain!"
This dark cloud, inexplicably, unleashed a fire in winter, causing the soldiers to tremble slightly. Was this the power of the gods?
They were so amazed and so excited.
The intense heat of the flames dispelled the chill that had been plaguing them, and the fierce light blinded them, leaving them only with the overwhelming heat.
Jiang Kehan's goal was to clear the walls and fortify the wilderness. The reason she didn't dare to set fire to the fortress was because she was afraid that the Zerg would launch a large-scale attack, causing her forces to be unable to keep up and thus fall.
But now the balance of power has completely changed, so the faster it burns, the better!
It's a pity that the Zerg aren't actually afraid of fire. Jiang Kehan withdrew her gaze, feeling her rapidly recovering magic power, and slowly descended to the ground, feeling somewhat regretful.
The flames looked fierce, but she deliberately converted all their destructive power into spreading intensity. The flames came quickly and went quickly, so Jiang Kehan had no intention of maintaining them.
"Then it's up to you."
As the firelight disappeared before her eyes, Jiang Kehan clapped her hands, waking the soldiers who had their eyes tightly shut. She then took her short staff and retreated behind the others.
The soldiers stared in awe at the ashes covering the land.
Such a large forest, just disappeared?
Before they could even process what they had been thinking, some of the Zerg buried in ash suddenly looked up and noticed the soldiers.
They felt no fear whatsoever; driven by their hunting instincts, they ferociously attacked the soldiers.
boom! boom! boom!
The heavily armored soldiers at the front were knocked several meters away, but fortunately, the formation was dense on the outside and loose on the inside, so it did not cause great damage.
Unable to contain their excitement, the soldiers focused their guns on the gap in their formation, gripping the triggers tightly. In an instant, flashes of fire and smoke filled the air.
These insects that broke through the formation were quickly reduced to fragments, and the sparse insects rushing towards this place were met with a barrage of fire before they could even get close.
The heavy armored soldiers' role was only to prevent the fire net from being torn apart by the insects before it was formed, but once it was formed, they threw away their heavy shields, raised their AK47s from their waists with excitement in their eyes, and joined the fire net.
"Go to hell, you born!"
Jiang Kehan smiled slightly. Although their coordination during the rotation of firepower still had shortcomings, it was already a crushing victory for the insects.
As expected of me, the formation I came up with was perfectly reasonable.
