In the town, Jiang Feng watched a middle-aged mage in a dark brown robe inspecting room by room, occasionally pausing to chant the word "burst", and then he saw a flash of green light, turning into crystal green dust and falling.

This is the Hearthstone mark that is erasing the village.

The Hearthstone binding mechanism simply binds the teleportation point to an item, and then you rub the Hearthstone and it will return to the object, so most people will bind the Hearthstone to their home, after all, there are too many instability factors outside.

And Hearthstone's teleportation mark is actually within the scope of arcane magic, so even a low-level mage can easily erase Hearthstone's binding mark.

The reason for this is simple: in a harmonious society, Hearthstone is a convenient magical item, as if it is a gift from the planet to mankind.

But in war, Hearthstone becomes a strategic-level prop, especially in the battle of the occupied area, after occupying the target area, the army must remove all the traces of Hearthstone binding left in the area as soon as possible, to prevent the troops that have just been repulsed from collectively teleporting back for counterattack.

In addition, in previous wars, there have been attempts to deliberately not erase the Hearthstone Mark, and instead move those items with Hearthstone Binding Marks to dangerous areas, such as attaching a layer of arcane shield and throwing it into the crater, and it has been successful......

This makes many officers need to weigh more when planning to use this Hearthstone airborne tactic.

As a town that has endured 12 years of war, the town of Starlow can only be described as devastated, with few decent large buildings, schools, hospitals, and parks razed to the ground.

When he first arrived here, Jiang Feng looked around the town as a patrolman, and when he passed by a residential area that was almost in ruins, Jiang Feng saw a dusty children's bouncy castle, a large toy about 10 meters tall standing in the center of the ruins, so that Jiang Feng didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

From time to time, you can see plastic buckets of different shapes and sizes on the side of the street, as if telling that there were people here who have lived on them until now.

Although Jiang Feng had been accustomed to poverty and hunger in Arotod before, it was still far from being as shocking as the war zone brought to him.

Especially when a Barrotan soldier compared the previous photos of this town to Jiang Feng, he was even more embarrassed.

At the corner, there are only a few pillars left, and the building is once a church on the World Heritage List.

A half-blown underground passage was once the town's busiest trading market.

"Here, you can buy the best handmade carpets in the world."

The Barrotan soldier said to Jiang Feng with the photo.

There are many such comparisons, which make Jiang Feng have a deeper understanding of the word peace. While most people now make peace a daily routine, in some places it is still a luxury that no one could ever dream of.

……

"Jiang Feng, tomorrow to maintain order, you take a squad to be in charge of the west, and I will take a squad to be in charge of the east, no problem, right?"

In the cafeteria, Tao Mingyuan, the leader of the third platoon, sat opposite Jiang Feng and asked.

After all, Jiang Feng is still a recruit, and it is always a little difficult to convince the public to directly make him a commander, so Tao Mingyuan is the nominal commander in this operation, and Jiang Feng is his deputy.

"No problem." Jiang Feng, who drank a mouthful of vegetable porridge, nodded.

When Barotan's army entered the newly conquered town, the first thing they did was to gather all the surviving civilians together.

At first, the war-torn refugees were scared and cautious, but after seeing the abundance of water and white, they no longer cared about it, and all poured out from all corners of the town.

What impressed Jiang Feng the most was a little girl, about four or five years old, thin and skinny, but her eyes were very bright.

When she saw the bread and mineral water like a mountain, the little girl widened her already big eyes and said a word in Gulida, and after the translation of the Barrotan soldiers next to her, Jiang Feng knew what she said: "Mom, have we come to heaven?" ”

Seeing the girl's cute appearance, Jiang Feng peeled off a fruit candy and handed it to her, she repeatedly confirmed to her mother that she could take it before she stretched out her hands to take it, and carefully stuffed it into her mouth.

The little girl's expression was strange at first, then surprised, and finally hugged her mother and cried.

Her mother explained to Jiang Feng while comforting her: "In the war zone, the price of a packet of white sugar is more than 100 eagle knives, and my child has not yet known what sweet tastes like since he was born. ”

Jiang Feng had heard of the soaring prices outside, a kilogram of flour cost 120 eagle knives, a kilogram of rice cost 200 eagle knives, and milk was sold at a sky-high price of 350 eagle knives.

This is the price that ordinary people can consume, so the food sources of the locals are like what the boy Iran Mu who Jiang Feng rescued before said, bartering for things, and surviving together by being vigilant and helping each other.

Tomorrow is the time when those refugees will be sent to various towns or other temporary places of residence after being checked, and all Jiang Feng has to do is go over and help maintain order.

……

Early the next morning, he brought all the personnel of the second platoon to the west of the refugee camp, watching the buses drive in, Jiang Feng looked at the refugee camp with some relief, those who had suffered from the war could finally get a new life.

"Boom!"

Just as Jiang Feng sighed, a violent explosion sounded not far from him, which made his whole person tense.

"All in battle mode!!"

After roaring, Jiang Feng immediately activated the [Piety Aura] and protected all the people around him.

'What's going on!?' Counterattack? Where did they come from!? ’

After entering this town, Jiang Feng of course was just patrolling and sighing every day, he also talked with the local officer chief about this key battle to conquer the lost territory, and the strength of the opponent's troops was hit hard, so he had to withdraw from the town and jump towards another stronghold.

In the past, even if these fanatics were belligerent, they would still stop for a while after such a big defeat, and it was true that they did not have the strength to fight back, after all, if they could reorganize the counterattack force in such a short time, they would not be repulsed.

But Jiang Feng didn't have time to think about what was going on for the time being, because another explosion sounded not far from him, and it was obviously closer!

"Protect the people!"

Pulling out the [Twilight Fang], Jiang Feng asked He Jianming, the hunter beside him, "How is the situation outside?" ”

At the moment when the explosion sounded, He Jianming had already jumped on the roof and turned on the [Eagle Eye Technique] to observe outside, and now when he heard Jiang Feng's question, he immediately reported: "There are a large number of anti-official organization personnel rushing towards the defending troops head-on, and ...... There are demons in their advancing ranks. ”

'Demon!? ’

In an instant, Jiang Feng understood why they were able to organize a counterattack so quickly, and they actually joined forces with the demons!

'These dehumanizing madmen! ’

It is common sense that everyone knows that cooperating with demons is a dead end, but they know that they will not end well, but they still choose to cooperate with demons.

"How many are coming?" Jiang Feng asked again.

"There are too many to confirm the exact number, oh my God, how could so many demons appear in one place at the same time!"

"It should be that these demons are also going to make the final counterattack!"

After Jiang Feng captured Ahmed, the organization and action of the demons in the Arotod region have undoubtedly decreased a lot, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely suppressed by the army, after all, Ge Hongguang has said that he can prepare to go home, which shows that the pressure on the local official army is really much less.

But now it seems that this is just an illusion that those demons use to paralyze the vigilance of the troops, and they have long planned to concentrate their last strength for a big counterattack!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

As the explosions became more and more frequent, Jiang Feng pressed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Dong Mi, Dong Mi, please answer if you receive it." ”

Soon, Tao Mingyuan's platoon commander's reply came from the headset.

"Dong Mi received, how is the situation on your side?"

"No one was injured at the moment, did the local troops tell us what to do next?"

"They are asking for help, and the first reinforcements will come soon, in short, protect the people first, and be ready to evacuate at any time."

"Roger."

Jiang Feng just ended the call, "It's a flesh and blood puppet!" Jiang team, there are flesh and blood puppets in the opposing troops! ”

He Jianming shouted eagerly.

Flesh golems are not demons to be exact, but war machines created by demons, which are generally three meters tall, infinitely powerful, and not afraid of cannon fodder, and always rush to the front line when fighting.

Because they did not expect the counterattack of the other party to come so quickly, the troops stationed in Starlo were not very large, and at this moment they had been defeated and retreated by the unofficial forces that suddenly attacked, and at the same time tore a hole, allowing the Sharp Knife troops to rush into the town.

"Everyone find cover and get ready for battle!"

As soon as Jiang Feng's words fell, a flaming imp rushed into the town with a smile and quickly condensed a fireball.

Seeing that the Flame Imp was about to throw a fireball, Jiang Feng took out a [Eagle Strike Spear] from his waist and threw it at the Flame Imp.

With a "pop", the head of the Flame Imp was pierced and he fell straight to the ground, but then more people and demons poured into the town.

"Dada-da-da!!"

As soon as they stormed into the town, the men picked up their machine guns and began to shoot wildly around.

He Jianming, who was hiding behind a building, saw that he quickly made a move, took out his longbow and pulled it, and an arrow hit the heart of the machine gunner.

But as soon as the Heavy fell to the ground, someone from behind him continued to rush in and continue the attack.

'These guys are suicidal!' ’

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng suddenly understood that they were indeed committing suicide attacks!

Judging from their behavior of taking the initiative to cut their own formation, they did not want to recapture Staro Town at all, but came with the idea of killing one to return to their roots and killing two to earn.

Sure enough, a bunch of unreasonable madmen! ’

After He Jianming shot another Void Walker, a demon dog rushed towards him, and after blocking He Jianming's [Precision Shot] with a barrier, the two tentacles that stretched out its head stabbed at him.

He Jianming immediately climbed to the second floor of the building, but just as he wanted to turn around and fight back, he found that the demon dog had been cut in half by Jiang Feng.

"Thanks, ...... Jiang" He Jianming was just halfway through his words when a bloody imp pounced out of the void and bit him on the neck.

"Ahh He Jianming screamed miserably and hurriedly turned on the [Spirit Tortoise Guardian], and pulled out the scimitar on his waist and slashed at the blood ghost, but the blood ghost ran away after biting and dodged the knife, but just as he wanted to escape back into the void, a pillar of light suddenly exploded under his feet.

After a scream, the blood imp fell to the ground without any signs of life.

After killing the blood imp, Jiang Feng quickly came to the second floor and used the [Holy Light Technique] on He Jianming, who was constantly gushing blood from his neck.

After feeling the healing power of the holy light, He Jianming, whose face was pale, finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Jiang Feng repeatedly.

"I'll leave the words of thanks, and be careful around."

"Yes!" After He Jianming finished speaking, he set up a frozen trap at his feet, preparing to use this room as a base to start sniping the enemies below.

After Jiang Feng looked down from the window for a while, he suddenly jumped and directly inserted [Twilight's Fang] into the head of a two-headed hellhound that was looking for prey.

But although one of the heads of the Helltwo-Headed Dog was pierced by Jiang Feng, the other quickly opened its mouth and spewed a flame at Jiang Feng.

Feeling the scorching heat coming to his face, Jiang Feng hurriedly raised the [Blue Heart] to resist, and pulled out the [Twilight Fang] and slashed at its other head.

But although [Twilight's Fang] stimulated the mouth of the Helltwo-Headed Dog, the result was not the same as Jiang Feng imagined, and the only remaining dog's head actually bit [Twilight's Fang] in one bite.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to pull the [Twilight Fang] out of its mouth again, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air from behind him, and in shock, Jiang Feng directly let go of the hand holding the [Twilight Fang] and flashed to the side, dodging the whip drawn by a succubus.

And the single-headed hellhound saw Jiang Feng let go, turned around with the sword in his hand and ran.

How could Jiang Feng let it succeed, decisively entered the second-order [Righteous Sacred Seal] state, and chased after it like an arrow from the string.

The one-headed Cerberus hadn't run a few steps before he felt someone riding on his back.

"How can this man run faster than a dog!?"

This was the last thought of the single-headed hellhound when it was broken into two by Jiang Feng.

Retrieving the [Twilight Fang], Jiang Feng just wanted to turn around and kill the succubus, but found that one of the soldiers in his team was attacked by a shadow demon, but fortunately, his [Piety Aura] protected him, so that he was only injured, but not fatal.

Closing the second-order [Righteous Sacred Seal] state, Jiang Feng rushed to the shadow demon and raised the [Twilight Fang] and used the [Crusader Strike] to slash down!

Under the effect of the Holy Light, the Shadow Demon was useless even in the virtual state, and was directly cut in half by Jiang Feng, turning into a gray mist and dispersing.

'It's not going to go on like this......'

Jiang Feng was not even willing to use the [Righteous Seal] now, because he had to save enough mana to deal with this battle that would not end so quickly, but he understood that the province alone would not solve the problem.

'It has to be like a way!' ’
