The First Order Chapter 899

Chapter 899 - Didn't you only say you would buy us some time?

As they battled, the sky began to brighten.

The expeditionary army had Ren Xiaosu surrounded, and there were so many barbarians that when Ren Xiaosu looked around, he felt like he was being enveloped by a horde.

The barbarians’ understanding of superhumans was that they would sometimes get exhausted too. If they could kill a powerful supernatural being like Ren Xiaosu by simply outnumbering him, the other main forces of the expeditionary army would face less resistance when they attacked the South in the future.

So even if they could not hurt Ren Xiaosu, they did not allow him to leave, nor did they make to retreat.

The barbarians had split up into two groups. One group circled Ren Xiaosu while the other circled Old Xu. In contrast, the battle at Old Xu’s side was much more intense.

As Old Xu barged around, the barbarians who came into contact with the black saber would either lose an arm, a leg, or be left with huge wounds on their bodies.

It was a bloody scene.

Meanwhile, it was much more reserved at Ren Xiaosu’s side. He kept activating Shadow Door and throwing out Explosive Poker cards around him. He would drop the more powerful bombs further away and the less powerful ones closer.

Outside the encirclement, some of the barbarians who could not clearly see what Ren Xiaosu was doing were blown to pieces before they could even figure out what was happening.

When Ren Xiaosu threw the Explosive Poker cards through the Shadow Door, the numbers and colors on the cards’ surfaces suddenly exploded with intense heat and light. Immediately after, a huge blast sent the barbarians flying into the air.

After throwing the low-numbered cards, Ren Xiaosu looked at the dense crowd of barbarians and thought to himself, ‘Since I’ve come this far, I might as well kill more of them.

Thinking of this, he took out four “tens”!

When he previously threw the “quad sevens” bomb, it had caused a small mushroom cloud to erupt. All of the buildings within 50 meters were razed to the ground and turned any surface within a 100 meters barren. Looking at the vast number of barbarians, Ren Xiaosu threw the “quad tens” right at the outermost perimeter through the Shadow Door before throwing himself prone.

The barbarians were a little baffled when they saw Ren Xiaosu suddenly drop to the ground. But a second later, a huge heatwave suddenly approached from the outer perimeter. A visible, circular layer of dust continuously radiated out after the Explosive Poker cards went off, and a transparent shockwave swept along the ground in a ripple. Meanwhile, huge flames instantly vaporized the barbarians closest to where the Explosive Poker cards were dropped.

With a loud explosion, the ground where the Explosive Poker cards landed caved in by more than 10 meters. The change in air pressure at the center of the explosion caused dust and debris to surge into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

Inside the mushroom cloud, red-orange flames were flashing within the dark gray dust and smoke. A faint, thunderous rumble even came from the inside.

Even though Ren Xiaosu had already gone prone in advance, he was still sent flying several dozen meters away by the terrifying explosion’s shockwave together with the barbarians around him.

He immediately felt his entire body burning with pain. There was a suffocating pain in his chest and abdomen as well.

Honestly, although he was the one who threw the Explosive Poker cards, he did not expect it to be so shockingly powerful!

With this explosion alone, more than half of the expeditionary army’s main forces were instantly killed. The remaining barbarians were dumbfounded.

This was the first time Ren Xiaosu saw the elite warriors looking at a loss. The barbarians seemed to be shouting something, but Ren Xiaosu’s ears were ringing, so he could not hear what they were saying.

Seeing that there were still a lot of surviving barbarians around him, and that they were about to surround him again, Ren Xiaosu suddenly could not find the ear pick the palace gave him!

He said over the radio that he brought with him, “Cover me while I retreat! If we drag this on any longer, the expeditionary army to the north will be here soon!”

However, Ren Xiaosu realized the explosion would definitely affect the wireless communications equipment. Yang Xiaojin definitely could not hear what he just said.

Ren Xiaosu looked around and decisively activated City Crusher in an instant. Old Xu took advantage of the moment when the barbarians were distracted to start a massacre and slaughtered through the crowd to make its way to Ren Xiaosu. Then it picked Ren Xiaosu up and ran south.

When the barbarians came back to their senses, they wanted to give chase. But the sniper hiding in the unknown suppressed them again and forced the pursuing troops to take cover, pinning them down fully.

Although their communications had been cut off, Yang Xiaojin knew what she had to do at the appropriate moment.

A commander of the barbarians said coldly, “It’s only a sniper. We still have so many men, so let’s break through the suppressing fire directly. Go and capture those three people!”

But just as he finished speaking, the barbarians realized the gunfire had stopped when they rushed out from their cover. Meanwhile, the two people who ran away from them had disappeared as well.

The barbarians were stunned for a moment. So the Central Plains people could actually run this fast when they were fleeing?!

Everyone looked back at the commander and waited for further instructions. But before the commander could make a decision, they could hear a heavy and rapid footfall coming from the north.

The commander’s face sank. He knew very well what the consequences of his failure would be.

The troops of the retreating 7th Division also heard the explosion behind them. When they turned around, they could even see a huge mushroom cloud rising into the air through gaps in the forest.

A large amount of smoke and dust billowed up into the sky. This suddenly darkened the brightening sky again.

As P5067 stared dumbfoundedly at this sight, his adjutant said, “I understand why he said he would hold off the expeditionary army for half an hour by himself. So it turns out he brought explosives with him. To be able to cause such a huge explosion, he must’ve brought along a lot of explosives. If he was aiming to detonate them among the barbarian troops, I guess he would definitely be caught in the blast as well.”

P5067 was silent for a moment. “He’s a hero. He sacrificed himself to buy some time for us to escape.”

To them, Ren Xiaosu must have perished with a large number of barbarians while hugging the explosives in his arms.They suddenly felt a sense of bitterness.

In the course of a day, too many people had departed from the world.

But just as they were mourning in silence, they saw Ren Xiaosu, who was covered in dirt, suddenly emerge from the forest behind them. Together with Yang Xiaojin, they ran all the way past the 7th Division’s troops.

When Ren Xiaosu ran past the command vehicle, he shouted, “What are y’all still standing there for? The expeditionary army is right on our heels! Run already!”

As his ears were still ringing, Ren Xiaosu felt that his voice was a little soft. So he would shout every time he wanted to say something.

P5067 looked at Ren Xiaosu and almost could not react in time. “Wait, what about the barbarians that intercepted us?”

“Blew half of them up.” Ren Xiaosu said, “I’ve helped y’all hold them off. Although I was only able to delay them for 20 minutes or so, I killed enough barbarians to make up for it. Hurry up and run.”

After that, the soldiers of the 7th Division watch Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin sprint off again and quickly disappear off into the distance in front of them.

P5067 continued to retreat the 7th Division. Along the way, he and his adjutant remained silent for a long time.

Of course it was a good thing that Ren Xiaosu did not die. But didn’t he only say he would buy the 7th Division some time? How did it end up with him killing half of the barbarian troops then?
