Chapter 15 Retreat

Bashas hurried to the watchtower, saw a large number of refugees pouring into Lu Cheng's camp, and his eyes went dark with anger and frustration.

"Are these refugees going to abandon my town? How did Lu Cheng win them over?!"

At this moment, Bashas realized that this group of special refugees were a group of vultures who only cared about profit. Before, they could be manipulated with some small favors because there was no greater benefit. He mistakenly thought he could control the refugees, but it was just an illusion!

"It's over, it's over…" Bashas paced back and forth anxiously. These refugees were his trump card against Lu Cheng, and now that Lu Cheng also had refugees, his advantage was gone.

He thought about it and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Lu Cheng shouldn't know the special nature of the refugees!

Just then, an assistant ran over in a panic and reported the news of Black Phantom helping Lu Cheng.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Bashas was stunned and couldn't imagine how miserable he would die fighting Black Phantom. The superhumans who died under Black Phantom's gun seemed to foreshadow his own ending.

How could a legend like Black Phantom suddenly help Lu Cheng?

"It must be Black Phantom who helped Lu Cheng absorb the refugees. Why is he so influential among the refugees?" Bashas remembered Black Phantom saying he was just passing by.

Liar!

Bashas had the idea of retreating. If he evacuated with the armed personnel, Lu Cheng had a certain chance of not pursuing. What the other side wanted was the town, and it would be best to win without bloodshed, but giving up the territory so easily was too weak. The family would definitely not let him off the hook.

"You're thinking about running before the battle even starts? Have you forgotten the Overmeira family motto?" Xiao Rui came to the watchtower, stood beside Bashas, and frowned.

"But that's Black Phantom, and half of the refugees have betrayed us…"

"Overmeira never flinches before a battle. Tell your men to prepare for battle." Xiao Rui said righteously and self-righteously.

"But Black Phantom…"

"My bodyguard, Liu Cheng, will hold him back, so he won't have a chance to participate in the battle."

Liu Cheng stepped forward behind Xiao Rui, expressionless. This calm and confident look made Bashas feel a little relieved.

Bashas gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, shouting to the assistant, "Get everyone mobilized and send those Black Pine bastards home! At least not all the refugees have betrayed us, we still have a chance to fight."

"Yes!" The assistant hurried to convey the order.

Only Bashas and the other two were left on the watchtower. Xiao Rui turned his head and whispered, "Prepare the car, and make sure we can retreat if we lose. Don't worry, I'm on the same side as you. I'll testify for you to the family that we've done our best to fight hard."

Bashas was relieved. It was more stable to leave a way out. He was afraid that Xiao Rui would be impulsive. It seemed that he was still rational, leaving the Green Valley Town soldiers to resist, which could delay Lu Cheng's troops, which was conducive to escape, and would explain to the family.

…

Time passed midnight, the night was deep, and darkness was everywhere.

The guards of Green Valley Town were on guard behind the machine guns and bunkers on the walls. Through the fence of the walls, they could also see sandbag positions piled up in the town, with machine guns set up. If the town gate was broken, street fighting would begin.

"They decided to defend to the death, and a fierce battle cannot be avoided. Fortunately, there are many fewer refugees who are stubbornly resisting."

Lu Cheng put down his binoculars and exhaled a turbid breath.

He didn't want to slaughter the refugees. Han Xiao had done him a great favor. Lu Cheng was surprised that Han Xiao seemed to be very influential among the refugees, and most of the refugees abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. It only took half a night to solve the problem that had been bothering him.

As for those refugees who were still in Green Valley Town, Lu Cheng had already given them a chance, and there was a limit to mercy.

"General attack in twenty minutes."

Lu Cheng gave the order, and while the troops were preparing, he approached Han Xiao to express his gratitude.

"Thanks to you for solving the problem of the refugees."

Han Xiao smiled without saying a word.

There is no free lunch in the world. Han Xiao didn't mention the reward, and Lu Cheng felt more uncertain. After a pause, he said helplessly, "I don't think I have anything that can be valued by someone like you."

These words were captured by Rou Bao Da Gou, who noticed the subtext.

Someone like that? Another clue to the identity of Black Phantom.

Rou Bao Da Gou had a vague idea of the content of the first video.

Han Xiao said, "Let's talk about it after the battle is over. Those refugees will fight for you."

"Refugees are not soldiers. I am not Bashas. I will not let them die." Lu Cheng shook his head.

"Even without your orders, they will automatically join the battle." Han Xiao lowered his voice.

Are these people all lunatics who are not afraid of death? Lu Cheng was skeptical. The time for the war was approaching, and he had no time to ask, so he hurried to command.

As the convoy started, a fierce battle began. The artillery fire tore through the night, and Lu Cheng's troops launched a fierce attack on Green Valley Town. The vehicle-mounted machine guns and grenade launchers fired at the turrets, and the battlefield was filled with the sounds of engines, machine guns, and roars. The darkness was illuminated time and time again by the fire from the grenade explosions, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The players also started fighting in the night. The players in the Green Valley Town camp had command, and several small guilds were the leaders. In comparison, although the players on Lu Cheng's side were a mess, there were more of them.

Han Xiao watched from the sidelines. The situation did not require him to take action, and Lu Cheng had a good chance of winning.

Suddenly, a figure crossed the battlefield. Shells, flames, and bullets fell on him, but he was unscathed and went straight to Han Xiao at the edge of the battlefield!

"Black Phantom, I'm here to be your opponent!"

Liu Cheng strode over.

"I can't even be a bystander?" Han Xiao said helplessly, drew his pistol and fired. Three bullets hit Liu Cheng's eyebrows, heart, and lower yin, but the expected blood was not seen.

The moment the three steel-core bullets hit Liu Cheng, it seemed that the kinetic energy suddenly disappeared, changing from extremely fast to still in an instant, and bounced off Liu Cheng's skin. The power was even less than a slingshot, and faint blue damage values floated above his head.

-0!

Han Xiao clearly saw the moment the bullet hit, subtle ripples rippled on the target's skin, and then the bullet lost its kinetic energy.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he put away his relaxed look.

"Kinetic energy absorption?"

The panel showed Liu Cheng's attributes, reaching level forty-four. His level was not as high as Han Xiao's, but Liu Cheng's ability was very tricky. It was the nemesis of kinetic energy weapons and happened to restrain firearms.

Han Xiao secretly thought he was unlucky to encounter an enemy who restrained him.

Kinetic energy absorption can resolve various forces applied to the body. If the attack power cannot break through the ability's tolerance limit, the power will be absorbed and transformed into his power. Physical attacks are very ineffective against this ability. To deal with [Kinetic Energy Absorption], energy or spiritual attacks are the first choice. The tolerance limit of this type of ability naturally depends on the level and strength. Unfortunately, the general tolerance limit is far higher than the attack power of the current level.

Liu Cheng stopped a few meters away from Han Xiao, expressionless, and said coldly, "Black Phantom, this battle has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in other people's business."

A legendary killer was eyeing him on the edge of the battlefield. Liu Cheng took the lead to hold back Black Phantom and prevent him from participating in the battle.

Han Xiao's answer was two bullets, which hit Liu Cheng's eyes. It was still zero damage. The bullets fell weakly to the ground. Liu Cheng didn't even blink, unscathed, and said lightly, "You are a meritorious killer on the Dark Net, the trump card of the Blood Pact Alliance. Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. I will give you a piece of advice: stay away from the battlefield."

'Dark Net? Blood Pact Alliance? What kind of forces are those?' Rou Bao Da Gou, who was watching, was agitated and hurriedly wrote down these two keywords in his heart. He finally touched the tip of the iceberg of Black Phantom's mysterious origin!

Han Xiao quickly screened the equipment on his body in his mind, and had a preliminary tactic. He tapped his feet, and the electromagnetic skates lit up with blue light, applying power to make him retreat rapidly. His hands moved like phantoms across his waist, and he drew two Mad Eagle pistols, skillfully replaced the Hymo rounds magazines with one hand, and opened fire with both guns. The bullets hit Liu Cheng's feet, and poisonous gas rose and spread.

Liu Cheng noticed the poisonous gas, frowned slightly, held his breath, and charged forward. He had absorbed a lot of kinetic energy from the guns and artillery when he crossed the battlefield just now, and sprayed it out from the soles of his feet, stepping out of a large pit, like an unstoppable tank, chasing after him, and a headbutt condensed with huge kinetic energy hit Han Xiao's chest.

"Bang!"

As if he had been hit head-on by a stampeding rhinoceros, Han Xiao felt a tightness in his chest, and his body flew out uncontrollably, without losing momentum, killing several players along the way.
