The cleanup operations were generally conducted one block at a time, advancing in a thorough sweep.
Whenever they encountered a residential community, they first called out for the residents to come out and move to a safe place. Then they searched every nook and cranny, including the sewers.
The military martial artists didn't use the civilians' Long Swords and War Bows. They used automatic rifles, even individual machine guns, while farther away there were military snipers as well.
With reflexes far beyond those of ordinary people, disciplined training, and tactical coordination,
ordinary barbarians died the moment they showed themselves.
The civilian martial artists played only a supporting role.
With the reflexes of martial artists, the War Bow's cumbersome operation still made for a slower rate of fire than guns. After all, using a gun required only one step: aim, then gently squeeze the trigger.
Over the course of a full day and night, the three martial masters went on only two missions between them. Chen Shouyi didn't even get called up. With Shell Girl by his side, he slept soundly through the night.
The cleanup proceeded as smoothly as water poured over the ground.
By the next morning, nearly half the urban district had been successfully reclaimed. The military and civilian martial artists had suffered fewer than thirty casualties, while they'd killed more than five hundred barbarians.
The elite barbarians Chen Shouyi had encountered in Dongxing, those at the martial master or even legendary level, were few and far between. Even in the other world, setting the gods aside, these barbarians stood near the top of the pyramid. They belonged to the elite, and their numbers were small.
The vast majority were ordinary barbarians, each of whom could be handled by a single human martial artist.
Three days later.
