“Soldiers, that damned iron monster has been taken care of by us! Counterattack!”
As an officer, Andrei knew he had to boost morale and command the battle, so he quickly shouted at the surrounding Soldiers, while hunching over to change positions, pulling out his pistol, and wildly firing outwards.
There was nothing he could do; he wasn't some shooting genius, and this was his first time holding a gun.
How could he possibly turn into a sharpshooter who hits every shot all of a sudden?
So, his round of firing was nothing more than a waste of bullets, just to make his presence known.
However, after hearing Andrei’s words, the surrounding soldiers’ morale visibly lifted. While praising the brother who threw the landmine, they extended their rifles through the gaps in the sandbags and continuously fired outwards.
It was only then that Andrei noticed that the Soldiers around him didn't seem to have discovered the additional Players.
He wondered if it was because the situation on the battlefield was too chaotic for them to notice, or if the Players he summoned had some kind of identity integration mechanism, so that even if they suddenly appeared, they wouldn't be noticed?
Andrei felt that he needed to study this matter further. If such a characteristic truly existed, then he wouldn't have to bother arranging identities for the Players.
But just then, a sudden explosion came from the side, interrupting Andrei’s thoughts.
The spot where he had just been standing was hit by a rocket, and the sandbags and baffles piled in front of the trench were all blown to pieces.
Seeing this, Andrei couldn't help but turn pale with fright, relieved that he had moved away quickly.
Otherwise, he might have been blown to pieces along with the sandbags!
However, the modified Soldier carrying the rocket launcher wasn't much better off; that guy had barely managed to fire a shot before being killed by the scout Player Andrei had summoned earlier.
Just then, Andrei noticed several Soldiers running towards him. Among these Soldiers was the Player who had just run out of the resurrection point.
While running, that Player was still speaking in the chat area.
Brave Niu Niu: 【Holy crap, that scared me to death! The damage in this game is so realistic! I thought there would be a health bar or something, but I only took one hit from that machine gun and I was dead!】
Female Knight Qiqin Goblin: 【Serves you right! Who told you to be so reckless? You got what you deserved!】
Andrei ignored what these guys were discussing in the chat area. He looked at the familiar Old Soldier with the beard, nodded, and asked:
“Why are you here?”
The Old Soldier grinned and said:
“Captain, I ran out earlier and didn't see you, so I thought you were alone. Turns out you came over here with the other brothers!”
“I don't know which brother buried such a powerful landmine, it just happened to be stepped on by that monster!”
Andrei nodded, casually agreeing with a few words, but inwardly he felt like he had a belly full of complaints.
Was that burying a landmine? That was clearly throwing a landmine!
If he hadn't seen the unscientific landmine placement in the battlefield, he would definitely have considered it a supernatural event!
However, this incident also made Andrei's eyes light up. It seemed that his Players were indeed not like real soldiers; in many aspects, they truly replicated the template of Battlefield Fries!
This was amazing. Thinking of those strong men who could run around carrying dozens of pounds of machine guns, Andrei's mouth began to water for a moment.
Taking a look at his influence points, Andrei found that his influence points had soared from 500 to 1200.
He calculated that his Player had just destroyed an armored vehicle and killed a modified Soldier, and while destroying the armored vehicle, they also killed two panicked enemies.
So, does an armored vehicle cost 500, a modified person 200, and two ordinary Soldiers together 100?
After all, he had lost one Player earlier, and he still had to deduct the 100 cost for his resurrection.
After a quick mental calculation, Andrei looked at the reactions of his other Soldiers and had a general idea.
It seemed that the Soldiers he summoned truly had some kind of cognitive distortion ability. Everyone else seemed to know these Players, and they didn't notice at all that five strangers had appeared in their team!
However, looking at himself and the increasing number of people gathering around, Andrei frowned.
He quickly shouted at the people around him:
“Everyone, don't all gather here, quickly fill in the empty spots in the trench!”
“So many people gathering here, be careful not to become targets for the enemy! Do you want to be burned to death by the enemy's magic?”
Andrei knew that on such a battlefield, too many people gathered together could easily become targets for enemy artillery, especially since he had witnessed that kind of spell falling from the sky before.
He didn't want the enemy to discover a crowd of people gathered on their side and then, feeling itchy, launch a rain of fire down on them!
Damn it, there's even magic in this world!
Hearing Andrei say this, the few Soldiers who had rushed over quickly saluted and then dispersed to other places. However, the Old Soldier with the beard followed closely behind Andrei, as if afraid that Andrei, the young officer, might accidentally take another hit.
Meanwhile, the other Players were discussing in the chat area, wondering why the NPCs in this game were so intelligent?
Although these on-site conversations might be some kind of plot, they had to admit that these dialogues had no sense of incongruity.
If it weren't for the fact that these people didn't have Player displays above their heads, they would even genuinely wonder if the speakers were Players?
Seeing the chat area, Andrei suddenly thought of his Players.
He quickly clicked recruit and recruited five more Players.
After five more Players appeared beside him, Andrei directed them to set up defenses in the trench while asking the Players:
“Do any of us throw grenades far? Throw a bunch of grenades out there!”
“Those damned Black Hawk devils are hiding in the shell craters, too close to us, we absolutely cannot let them charge!”
As soon as Andrei finished speaking, a series of grenades were thrown out by the Players.
For ordinary Soldiers, it wouldn't be easy to throw grenades out from such a trench, but for Players with game templates, it was incredibly easy to throw grenades a long distance.
Hiding in the shell craters, quietly waiting for suppressive fire from the rear, and preparing to charge, the Black Hawk Soldiers were stunned when they saw a large volley of grenades suddenly thrown down from above.
Before they could even wonder how these people could throw grenades so far, a series of explosions engulfed them.
