With the addition of Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao, the frontline forces finally managed to contain the second SSS-class异能人.
By this time, the war had almost entered its white-hot stage.
Han Lang led six squads of new recruits, fighting fiercely to eliminate the 异能人 who had long since merged with the border soldiers.
However, because they were positioned at the rear of the front line, they were somewhat protected.
Consequently, high-level 异能人 rarely appeared around them.
Even D-class 异能人 were seldom seen.
Such combat caused some soldiers in the squad to become a bit complacent.
"Hey! I thought the war with the 异能人 would be much more brutal! Turns out they're just a bunch of fish waiting to be slaughtered!"
"Haha... I think so too! There's really no pressure during the fight, other than my hands getting a bit numb from killing, I don't feel anything else!"
"This is clearly a chance for us to earn merits! If we had opportunities like this every day, getting promoted and rich wouldn't be a dream! Haha..."
Hearing these people still having the leisure to engage in such discussions, Han Lang and Tang Qin couldn't help but frown.
Tang Geng directly shouted.
"What nonsense are you spouting here? Can war be treated as a joke by you?"
Tang Qin's words made them a bit unconvinced.
After all, within the squad, Tang Qin was at most a member of Squad One who was only slightly stronger than them. Thus, someone immediately retorted.
"Tang Qin! Aren't you going a bit too far with your words?"
"Exactly! You're not our commander, we're all equals, so what right do you have to criticize us!"
"We also don't wish for war to happen. But as soldiers, since war has already broken out, what else should we think about if not the benefits war brings us? Should we think about when we'll die in battle? Hmph!"
"You guys..."
Hearing the rebuttals from a few people, Tang Qin's teeth itched with anger, but she didn't know how to respond for a moment!
It was at this moment that Han Lang sternly reprimanded.
"Squad Four members, that's enough! As a soldier, it's not wrong to think about earning merits and getting promoted or rich! But to make flippant remarks at this time is a grave mistake!"
The Squad Four members were still unconvinced, and Han Lang continued to scold.
"The reason you don't feel the pressure of this war is not because the 异能人 are not strong, but simply because as new recruits, we are currently under the protection of the veterans! Open your eyes and look at how brutal the fighting is on the very front line. Every moment, our comrades are falling under the cruel methods of the 异能人! And the reason they fight so fearlessly is to reduce the pressure on us behind them! It's also to ensure the peace of the land behind us! Your words just now are the greatest blasphemy against their lives!"
After being severely scolded by Han Lang, the members of Squad Four who were still treating it lightly all looked towards the human wall not far away!
They were fighting in blood!
While desperately preventing the 异能人's frontline from breaking through, they could also clearly see bodies being sent flying one after another!
And it was precisely because of that human wall that the number of 异能人 reaching their location was very small.
Although they were still struggling to fight, the proportion was truly insignificant.
Seeing this scene, the Squad Four members were all shocked.
If Han Lang hadn't reminded them, their perspective would have remained fixed on the current pressure-free combat.
"Sorry! Captain Han, Tang Qin, we know we were wrong!"
"We were shortsighted. We apologize to our comrades fighting for us on the front lines!"
"We hope you can forgive us!"
Han Lang felt relieved, but his tone remained stern as he shouted again.
"Forgive what? You are soldiers. If you know you're wrong, just inherit the spirit of the fallen seniors who sacrificed for the country. There's no need to be indecisive in front of me! What you need to do is fight bravely, not beg for forgiveness pitifully!"
Hearing this, the Squad Four members instantly understood. They all stood at attention and replied loudly.
"Yes, Captain Han!"
Just then, Tang Geng, who had been focused on the battle, shouted in panic.
"Not good! The frontline is in danger of collapsing!"
Han Lang also quickly looked in the direction Tang Geng pointed.
Since Huang Yuhua and Liu Xiaoxiao went to support the battle against the second SSS-class 异能人, the two SSS-class 异能人 on the field had also mobilized a large number of S-class and D-class 异能人 to assist.
Under the leadership of the SSS-class 异能人, the warriors at the Golden Core stage and above not only had to jointly restrain the SSS-class 异能人 but also had to disperse their forces to defend against surprise attacks from other lower-level 异能人.
In this situation, nothing seemed amiss at first.
But as the battle deepened and the consumption gradually became apparent, those lower-level S-class and D-class 异能人 gradually became their burden.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already at the point where Tang Geng and Han Lang could see the problem at a glance.
"This won't do! If the frontline falls, tens of thousands of our comrades might be wiped out. We must do something!"
Ma Long kicked an enemy in front of him and then asked.
"What can we do? Can our strength help?"
Han Lang's expression was somewhat solemn. In a sense, these six squads of new recruits, except for Squad One, could not intervene in the frontline battle.
However, if no one stepped forward to support and help the Golden Core stage comrades fighting the second SSS-class 异能人 to alleviate the pressure, their defeat would only be a matter of time.
But the question was, how should they help their comrades resolve the pressure and tip the scales?
After much thought, Han Lang had no good ideas and finally said helplessly.
"No matter what! Squad Two leader, take orders!"
"Here!"
"From now on, you are the commander of the other five squads, including yourself. Please fulfill your duties diligently, formulate plans for your comrades to fight bravely, and ensure everyone's safety! You are not to leave your current position without my orders!"
Han Lang made this arrangement not only for the safety of the other five squads but also for the consideration of the war effort.
These new recruits were already at the very rear of the formation. If they couldn't hold their ground here, it would mean that the 异能人 had completely broken through the defense line.
Therefore, this place was not only a haven for the new recruits but also potentially their final stand!
The Squad Two leader naturally understood Han Lang's intentions and, without any hesitation, replied loudly.
"Understood!"
Seeing this, Han Lang issued his second order.
"All members of Squad One, follow me to the front line to support Squad Leader Huang and Squad Leader Liu!"
"Yes!"
On the battlefield, the shouts of obedience to orders were insignificant, but at this moment, the voices of Ma Long, Tang Qin, and others responding to Han Lang were like a deafening roar to the other soldiers.
This was a spirit, a spirit of fearlessness and supreme honor!
