Hanging up the phone, Holman sat in the command room with a solemn expression.

Grant sat opposite, and since the current senior command staff of the expeditionary force was too small, he also followed the expeditionary force as the chief of the bailiff.

Looking at Holman's expression, he asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty has acceded to our request for an attack, and we can attack tonight to end the battle before dawn. ”

Holman tapped the battle map on the table, looking quite excited, this was the second major battle plan since the establishment of the Federal Empire, the first battle plan came from His Majesty the King, they were only the executors.

This time, they had to personally command the big battle, and it was inevitable that they would be a little nervous.

Grant's expression also became a little nervous, and his legs trembled uncontrollably as he sits.

"We'll have to check the next battle plan again. ”

During the day, they had already sent scouts into the Golden City to reconnoitre, and the scene inside the city was somewhat similar to the original city of Barbis, full of devastation, and many buildings had been abandoned for years.

Find a vantage point in the city, start an attack from the vantage point, and spread out in all directions.

The tactics are not very complicated, after all, the current soldiers of the Federal Imperial Guard have accumulated a lot of experience in fighting monsters, and most situations can be easily handled, but there is another situation.

Will there be new types of monsters?

At present, in the process of fighting all the way, I have encountered a lot of new second-level monsters, and these second-level monsters have injured hundreds of soldiers, of course, it is not a problem to get familiar with second-level monsters now, but what if there are third-level monsters appear?

"Grant, I'll be the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, you will be in charge of the overall situation, if a new monster appears, I can also let the vanguard make adjustments in time. ”

Holman retold the battle plan and proposed.

Grant was stunned for a moment, then got up and shrugged.

"According to the order of His Majesty the King when we came, you are the commander-in-chief, and there can be no problems, and I am the commander of the vanguard, so that I can also remind the members of the vanguard. ”

Holman hesitated for a long time and held out his hand.

"Good luck. ”

After shaking hands, Grant walked out of the command room and gave the order, ordering the vanguard and combat units to enter the city first.

Now the ranks were divided into two parts, a total of 5,000 men remained outside the city as a convoy of command, but also as a reserve, and 3,000 of the remaining 10,000 men as vanguards, and then 7,000 as regular troops.

So the total number of people who went into the city was 10,000.

Now that it was getting dark, Grant looked up at the gloomy sky, and then followed the soldiers into the city.

The vanguard of 3,000 people is led by him, located below the commanding heights in the city, and the remaining 7,000 people are on the commanding heights, and the task of the vanguard is to assault, attract monsters to the vicinity of the commanding heights, and then concentrate the firepower of the people on the commanding heights to attack.

When night came, Grant scanned the area through the eyepiece of the Obsidian III armor before giving the order and the vanguard set off.

Turning a few street corners, I soon encountered a monster while hearing a strange sound.

This strange sound is not new to them, and monsters will always have several commanders, and it is through this sound that these monster commanders wake up and then gather.

Rushing in the direction of the strange sound, killing dozens of monsters along the way, and as the sound got closer and closer, Grant saw a large number of monsters surrounding a building through the eyepiece's night vision system.

Needless to say, the commanders of the monsters were definitely inside this building.

After a moment's thought, he gave the order through the communication system.

"500 people from the first squad are hiding with me, and the remaining 2,500 people are shooting, attracting monsters to the vicinity of the commanding heights. ”

Hearing this order, a mid-level commander who was a subordinate was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and frowned.

"General Grant, according to the battle plan we have made in advance......"

Grant interrupted.

"The battle plan is changed according to the actual situation, so now I have temporarily changed the battle plan and acted according to my orders. ”

At the same time as this order was given, Holman who was sitting in the command room also heard it through the communication system, frowned and immediately got up to face the communication system in the command room.

"Grant, the battle plan can't be changed. ”

But Grant obviously didn't intend to listen, turned off the communication system directly, and then gave the order, after which he led 500 people to hide with the help of nearby buildings.

With the vanguard of the remaining 2500 people opened fire.

For a moment, the monsters that had originally gathered at the gate of the large building immediately went crazy and rushed towards the vanguard of 2,500 people.

Guns hit, a large number of monsters exploded.

But the speed of the monster is too exaggerated, the distance is rapidly shortening, when it is shortened to the agreed distance in the original battle plan, the vanguard of 2,500 people began to retreat in an orderly manner, alternately covering.

These are all tactics that have been used in training, and now they are very proficient after actual combat.

As the vanguard began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the commanding heights, the monsters gave hot pursuit.

Grant, who is hidden in a nearby building, witnesses it all.

1 minute ......

5 minutes ......

10 minutes ......

15 minutes ......

The monsters pouring out of the building are not over yet, and there are still a large number of monsters rushing out.

The number of monsters pouring out in these 15 minutes is roughly estimated to have reached 5,000, which means that the number of monsters in Golden City this time is more than expected, which is a huge challenge for the combat troops.

Even if the fighters from the high ground saturate attack, it will be difficult to end the battle at the set time.

Moreover, among the large number of monsters in the Golden City, there are obviously more second-level monsters, with higher IQs and more diverse attack methods.

This went on until the 30th minute.

The monsters in the building finally stopped pouring out, and roughly calculated, the number of monsters reached about 10,000, which was twice as much as expected.

When the monster stopped pouring out, Grant gave the order and immediately led the five hundred vanguard members to carefully rush to the building where the monster had poured out before.

When I arrived at the building, as soon as I entered the door, I immediately saw a skinny monster, with a deformed body, but it was about the same size as an ordinary human, and there were several second-level monsters around it, and the other party also found members of the vanguard at the same time.

Before the monster could scream, though, Grant pulled the trigger.

"Bang ......"

Several second-tier monsters were killed.

But the bullet that flew towards the new monster, which was thin and human-like, stayed a meter in front of the opponent, suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, Grant immediately reacted, this is a new type of monster.

A looming barrier could be seen in the air where the obsidian bullets were levitating, like a milky white light, and it was this layer of light that blocked the obsidian bullets that attacked the opponent.

Although it was not known what this ability was, Grant was quick to respond.

Immediately put away his firearm, jumped forward, and pounced on the monster, the obsidian third-generation armor arm in his right hand sticking out of the black obsidian blade.

The third obsidian armor slammed into the milky white layer of defense, directly penetrating the defense layer, and then his obsidian blade stabbed into the opponent's non-lethal ribs.

This is a completely new monster, and at the request of His Majesty the King, new monsters with special abilities like this must be captured alive and sent to the city of Babis for research.

The human-like monster was visibly surprised, and reacted a little slowly.

The next moment, Grant's obsidian blade had pierced into the opponent's ribs, making a pop.

At the same time as he stabbed, he had already pounced on the monster.

At this time, the rest of the soldiers also reacted, quickly pounced, and held the monster down, and someone took out handcuffs and shackles and quickly brought them on.

These are all lessons learned from previous battles, and the handcuffs and shackles are also made of obsidian, which is exceptionally strong.

After subduing the opponent, someone immediately uses a special mask to bring the monster to prevent the monster from making a sound to alert the companion.

After subduing the monster, Grant stood up and motioned for several soldiers to capture the captive, before continuing to inspect the building with the rest of the group.

The first layer is checked, and there are no monsters.

Follow the stairs to the second floor, and there are still no monsters.

When I arrived at the third floor, as soon as I entered the third floor, I immediately saw several level monsters guarding the staircase.

This time, instead of using a firearm, the obsidian blade was used to deal with the enemy, avoiding the gunfire being too loud and causing the monsters on the fourth floor to notice.

Now there is only the fourth floor left, and when I reached the staircase of the fourth floor, I already heard a strange sound from the monsters, and I couldn't understand what was being said, but judging by the sound, there were about a dozen monsters.

After judging the monster's position on the fourth floor, Grant quickly rushed out.

The rest of the team followed suit, firing in the direction of the monster.

As the gunshots rang out, those second-level monsters were quickly swept away, leaving only another monster similar to the size of a human, a bit like the monster Sartre in the game, standing in front of a window on the fourth floor, which happened to be able to see the commanding heights of the Federal Imperial Guard.

Grant motioned to stop shooting and looked at the new monster, ready to be captured alive.

Suddenly, the corners of the monster's mouth twisted, and a strange laugh came out, and the next scene made Grant completely dumbfounded.

The monster, which resembles Sartre, opens its mouth and emits a human voice that is shrill and piercing.

"It seems that there are more than just new humans like us in this world, and you are doing a good job. ”

Grant understood this sentence completely, it was human language, and he froze in place, and the rest of the soldiers also looked at the monster in shock.

The monster actually knew human language, which refreshed their cognition.

In their previous combat experiences, the monsters they encountered were all deformed monsters that had lost all their humanity and human characteristics, including the language that represented human civilization, and they thought that monsters could not speak.

Right now......

After a moment's hesitation, Grant came back to his senses and prepared to start.

However, the monster smiled strangely and continued to use human language.

"Strong opponent, we'll see you next time. ”

After that, the monster's body disappeared directly in place, disappearing without a trace, just like a spatial teleportation.

Grant looked at the monster that disappeared directly in front of his eyes, his brows furrowed.

"It seems that the monster is much more complex than we thought. ”
