Chaplain!

Preparing grenades was an old tradition they had!

When faced with a tough bone to chew, they would trade their lives for the enemy’s, no matter the cost!

And only veterans who had crawled out of the heaps of corpses on the Indiana battlefield were allowed to serve within the Imperial Guards!

Their loyalty to America and execution abilities were both of the highest level!

They worked in teams of five, each carrying ten grenades and began modifying the fuses in the shortest time possible so they could detonate simultaneously.

“Damn it!”

“Grandpa’s coming!”

Zhang Kai, with bloodshot eyes, picked up a string of grenades and was ready to rush towards the position where the three were fighting!

Isn’t this what leading soldiers in battle all about?

To lead by example!

To cast aside the fear of death, and to be resolved to face certain death!

“Squad leader, let me do it!”

“Hold them back!”

“Damn it!”

“Grandpa, today is the day of glory!”

“…”

Soon, one of them pulled a grenade pin. With Zhang Kai restrained by his men, he charged without hesitation towards the direction of Jessica Wright, Jin Lishi, and Vivian Li!

Grenades usually exploded after five seconds!

So, everyone held their breath!

The countdown began!

5!

4!

3!

…

But for a true master, this time was still ample for evasion!

“Crazies!”

“Damn it all!”

Jin Lishi and Vivian Li cursed as they saw what was happening!

No wonder the National Guard of America was known as the King of the Land!

This damn readiness to gamble with life, who could endure it?

Even Jessica Wright frowned upon seeing this, and she quickly ran outside the base!

Maybe ten grenades wouldn’t kill them!

But how many people were there, after all?

As many as fifty!

If each person had ten grenades, even gods wouldn’t be able to withstand that!

“Boom…”

In the next second, grenades exploded at the same time, and the body of that Imperial Guardsman burst into flames, turning into chunks of flesh scattered in every corner of the corridor!

“Damn it!”

“Let me go!”

“I’m the head here!”

“Get lost!”

“You’re the squad leader, let us do this kind of thing!”

“The rest of you, charge!”

“…”

As the words fell, the Imperial Guards, already decked with grenades, charged out after them!

Facing such masters, they indeed had no way out!

But…

To protect the equipment within the base, they could only trade their lives for time!

No one was melodramatic about it!

These warriors were ready to die to protect the Photolithography Machine!

There was no coercion!

It was entirely voluntary!

But even so, the ones who chased out were still one after another!

Zhang Kai teared up!

And there was only one reason for such discipline, and that was their burning desire to see America’s strength!

If they didn’t sacrifice today and the Photolithography Machine was damaged, America would face significant pressure in the coming years!

They might even be so suppressed they couldn’t lift their heads!

If they didn’t make the sacrifice, then the next generation would have to!

They would rather trade their lives for the peace and prosperity of the next generation!

This was the steely pride of the American soldier!

It was their loftiest ideal!

“Bang bang bang…”

As explosions resounded outside the base, those who had not yet managed to rush out all shed tears!

Who says that a man doesn’t shed tears easily?

It’s just that the heartache had not come yet!

They knew that every explosion that sounded meant one less brother in arms that they had lived and died with!

“Kill…ah!”

Zhang Kai roared in rage; even without bombs, they would use their flesh to keep the enemy from the base’s gate!

Knowing it was certain death, but in the remaining Imperial Guards, not one showed a hint of hesitation!

This was the call of duty!

This was the highest honor for a soldier!

And it was the best resting place!
