Chapter 532: Chapter 525: Group Combat

A breakthrough has been made in the research, which coincides with the agreement reached with the Ghosts in the Weird Talk Forest. Furthermore, through various pieces of information, they have gained a comprehensive understanding of the construction of the Deity Creation Base. Luo’er believed that now was the best opportunity to attack.

Time waits for no one. Once the Deity Creation Project reaches its final stage, they may still have to eliminate the deity created by the Ancient States. Therefore, they must fight a quick battle.

Following the approval from the headquarters, the combat plan was officially launched. Other than the Advance Team and mercenaries, Li Si used every available manpower. As for the Judgement Legion, which had been battered, Li Si replenished their horses and sent them to raid towns and villages in the territory of the Ancient States to distract the reinforcements of the Ancient States’ army.

Although this strategy was contemptible and cruel, it was also an act of desperation. At present, their squad was most lacking in manpower. Despite their powerful equipment and air supply, they could barely win Theron’s siege, but once the Ancient States’ army intervenes, they would be decimated.

It is well said that mercy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Rather than showing compassion to the enemy and allowing the Ancient States’ army to rush to help, it is better to create chaos and draw them away from the Deity Creation Base.

The Advance Team would be divided into five groups. Each group, led by a member of the Advance Team, would lead a small team of five people to complete their respective tasks. The remaining twenty mercenaries would build defensive fortifications in the landing area to resist possible attacks from Theron.

Theron’s forces are mostly light infantry. They may be strong in field battles, but may not cope well with positional warfare. Like a guerrilla band, they find it hard to withstand conventional troop forces. Although the mercenaries are mercenaries in name, they have been conforming to the model of Earth’s regular troops in terms of their equipment and war tactics. Therefore, they are proficient at positional warfare.

During the battle below, the airboat will hover a kilometer above the landing area to facilitate the transport of personnel and supplies.

Although the transport plane has been camouflaged, the High-Peak people are still worried about revealing their identities and have requested to operate as much as possible at night to prevent the transport plane from exposing itself.

In fact, without their advice, Luo’er planned to execute the mission at night. During the resting time at night, special ops suit best. Most of the special ops on Earth are executed at night or at dawn to take advantage of the night.

With the plan in progress, the airboat, which had been docked for several days, finally restarted its anti-gravity engine and slowly ascended, preparing to head for the destination. Before this, the Judgement Legion’s cavalry had set off. They were assigned to cause disturbances around the base, attracting the attention of the Theron guards, and then the airboat would arrive at the location of the airdrop, above the Weird Talk Forest.

It’s somewhat lamentable that the Judgement Legion, originally the main force of this mission, has now become a marginal player, while the Advance Team who came along for combat has become the main force. This was something Luo’er had never thought of before setting out.

After closing the external passageway, the airboat directly ascended to the stratosphere and started heading towards the destination. Their actions also rely on the High-Peak people’s advanced flight vehicle piloting skills. Otherwise, if they were to leave the driving of the airboat to their own people, they might not even know how to determine the coordinates, let alone piloting a transport plane for a nighttime airdrop.

On the airboat, Luo’er began to assign teams and issued tasks to each small team. Since Luoya had been disqualified for the mission, she had now become a liaison officer to make up for the manpower shortage.

"Moumou, you’re in the number one team, your mission is to sneak into the armory and blow it up, don’t give those Therons a chance to get weapons. Then merge with me and take over the central research area," Luo’er ordered.

"Yes!" Tangmo nodded happily, the thought of merging with Luo’er inexplicably cheered her up.

"I am in team two, my task is to take over the central research area and arrest those important researchers," Luo’er continued.

"Cheng Ziang, you’re in team three, responsible for attacking the barracks and dormitories, try to inflict as many casualties on the enemy’s defenses as possible, then move to the A exit to defend," Luo’er said.

"Leave it to me!" Cheng Ziang nodded earnestly.

"Hu Daoke, you’re in team four, your task is to sneak into the test subject storage area, protect the bodies of the Ghosts and wait for our arrival to rescue them," Luo’er continued to order.

"Leave it to me, with me around, they wouldn’t dare to make a move!" Hu Daoke pounded his chest and replied confidently.

"Yue’er, you’re in the fifth team, and your task is to sneak into their storage and reserve areas to destroy their Magic Crystal energy and supplies. After completing the mission, head to the B exit for defense!" Luo’er said.

"Got it!" Baiyue responded succinctly and coldly.

"Remember, each of you will have a ’Ghost’ for communication and reconnaissance. Don’t resist it, especially the girls; you’re Earthlings and shouldn’t fear such things... Moumou, why are you pouting?" Luo’er asked, looking at her.

"Have you been in touch with them for a long time?" Tangmo pouted and asked with a hint of jealousy.

"Huh?" Luo’er was taken aback by the question.

"Don’t interrupt, we’re in the middle of a meeting. If there’s anything else, tell us quickly!" Cheng Ziang glared at Tangmo and Luo’er, stepping forward to interrupt their conversation.

Luo’er coughed awkwardly, then said seriously: "Also, after the first and second teams have taken away the researchers and destroyed the facilities, they will go to the storage area of the test subjects and rescue those girls. The fourth team will move to the exit to cover us."

"Understood!" Hu Daoke nodded.

"Furthermore, once those girls are awakened, our onboard ’Ghost’ communication network will go offline. At that time, we’ll initiate a backup plan. Everyone should pay attention to the signal flare’s guidance, evacuate the base promptly and regroup at the drop zone."

"Got it!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Good, let’s synchronize our watches. At 2:10 a.m., we’ll enter the base together and act separately. At 2:30 a.m., the first and fifth teams will blow up the armory and the Magic Crystal storage area to officially launch the attack. Before that, no one is allowed to cause any commotion; is that understood?" Luo’er asked.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

The main reason for assigning such a task to Tangmo and Baiyue was that they were both masters of magic who could destroy the weapons, ammunition and Magic Crystals through magic. If the task was given to the three men, the results might be discounted significantly.

"Also, I’ll be going to the research area with Luo’er." At this point, Nightingale suddenly stepped forward. Now she looked nothing like her usual self; instead, she was clad in a tight fighting suit, and her hair was tied back in a ponytail.

"This..." Luo’er was taken aback, immediately looking towards Li Si not far away.

"Let her go, she’s received approval from HQ. Without her, you can’t attack the research area." Li Si said, somewhat helplessly.

"Okay, then please guide us." Luo’er said respectfully.

"You don’t need to worry about me, I can protect myself." Nightingale uttered, pulling out a Magic Crystal Revolver.

Li Si coughed on the side, then explained to them as if giving a science lesson: "The Magic Crystal pistols you’re using now were inspired by an idea that Nightingale originally proposed, which was later realized by the Otherworld Weapons Research Center."

"Luo’er, there are two crucial areas in the research area — one is responsible for researching ’bodies’, and the other is for researching ’soul ascension’. We will first conquer the area researching ’soul ascension’, and if my guess is correct, that old guy should be in that area." Nightingale noted, her gaze sharpening as she looked towards the portrait of Kuya hanging on a distant board.

Kuya appeared somewhat scholarly and amiable, slightly overweight, benign and gentle-looking. However, due to his age, his hair was completely white.
