Otherworld Advance Team
Chapter 842 - 835: Complete Adjustment

Chapter 842: Chapter 835: Complete Adjustment

"Alright, then let’s assume our Advance Team has a total of seven members, including a guide," Tangmo nodded, expressing a slight disappointment as he spoke. He also took the opportunity to throw an additional glance at Wang Xu, as if he had noticed something.

"So, if we follow Sister Momo’s suggestion, how should we arrange for the newly joined Xiao Fula and Little Fengye?" Hu Daoke actively raised the question.

"That should be up to your good Captain to decide. I’m just giving him a heads-up," Tangmo replied, turning his head to throw a flirtatious wink at Luo’er.

Luo’er coughed awkwardly, then stood up from his seat, cleared his throat, and responded, "Based on our previous arrangement, the Advance Team should have a rifleman, a support person, a sniper, and a close-combat person. Considering the special magic environment of the Otherworld, we also need a Mage. I believe that in the Otherworld, this five-person combination is the most appropriate firepower arrangement, even though it was ultimately proven that its innovative significance is greater than its practical value."

Tangmo began to defend Luo’er, "Luo’er’s arrangement can’t be said to be too naive because it essentially conforms to the special environment of the Otherworld. If it were on Earth, such an arrangement would be nothing more than child’s play, but the Otherworld itself has magic, so Luo’er’s arrangement is fundamentally in line with the rules of the Otherworld."

"This..." Seeing Tangmo actively speaking on his behalf, Luo’er also felt somewhat embarrassed, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it again.

"I know what you want to say, there’s no need to deny your own plan. Excessive modesty is actually a form of inferiority," Tangmo declared, "The main reason Luo’er’s arrangement didn’t achieve its full effect in actual combat is the weapon change in the Otherworld. The transition from mainly cold weapons to predominantly firearms. Under such circumstances, the Advance Team’s firepower would obviously be insufficient. Another major issue is that our team’s personal capabilities are generally substandard, including my unlucky sister. I think this is a reality we need to acknowledge."

"Um..." Faced with Tangmo’s look, everyone couldn’t help but lower their heads in shame.

"Precisely because our personal abilities are generally substandard, we can’t fully utilize the strength of such an arrangement, which is why we have felt strained. We are always accustomed to replicating Earth’s tactical experience in the Otherworld, yet we have to contend with the unique physical laws of the Otherworld. The arrival of Fulajie’er changed our strained communication style, and Feng’s arrival directly altered our understanding of magic."

"With these two treasures now preceding us, many of the flaws in the Advance Team can be covered up. So, I think it’s entirely possible to revert to the previous firepower arrangement. Even if we face a deficiency in firepower again, we still have solutions, unlike before when we had to passively take hits," Tangmo spoke eloquently.

After listening to Tangmo, Luo’er looked at her with a grateful face and finally had some ideas in his mind, "Momo is right. Now that we have Feng and Fula, two powerful figures, enhancing traditional firepower becomes meaningless. After all, this is a Magic World, and our most reliable recourse can only be magic."

Clearing his throat again, Luo’er continued with the tactical deployment, "So my plan is, Feng’s role will be that of a Mage, since she also relies on magic for attack, categorizing her alongside Moumou. This way, we will have two professional Mages, eliminating the issue of inadequate firepower in any subgroup."

With this in mind, Luo’er looked at Tangmo somewhat anxiously and asked, "By the way, did you learn any power-enhancing destructive magic during your time at the Magic Academy?"

"Of course, we did. Who do you think my sister is?" Tangmo replied confidently with her arms crossed over her chest.

"That’s good. Then our Advance Team will have two Mages focused on destructive magic. As for Fula, after thinking it over, I suppose she should be arranged as the Advance Team’s support, taking over the role previously held by Moumou," Luo’er considered and said.

Luo’er said this because the magic Tangmo had mastered was mostly supportive. Therefore, she could often only play a supportive role in battle and was seldom planned as a main Mage. Later, she even became a rifleman.

Taking advantage of the discussion, Wang Xu took out paper and pen to record their requirements, preparing to apply to the headquarters for the relevant weapons and equipment. Since they were going to revert to the previous firepower setup, naturally, many things needed to be adjusted.

For instance, the blue and white porcelain longsword that was custom-made for Cheng Ziang by the headquarters had been given to Feng. Now, if they wanted to return to the original setup, the headquarters must get him a new longsword.

This time the Advance Team was going to fully restore the previous firepower configuration, not just make incremental adjustments as before. Wang Xu considered that the Advance Team was unlikely to encounter enemy squads armed with firearms in the future, so this setup posed no problem. And even if they did encounter such enemies, the team would still have Feng as support, fully capable of handling the situation.

After the meeting adjourned, the members of the Advance Team dispersed, leaving only Yalunte and Wang Xu, seated face-to-face across the long conference table.

Wang Xu glanced at the firmly closed door, then turned to look at Yalunte and asked calmly, "I heard you confessed to Cheng Ziang?"

"Yes," Yalunte replied, looking down.

"What did he say?" Wang Xu nodded and fiddled with the pen in his hand.

"He..." Yalunte hesitated.

"Mr. Yalunte, you had assured us before; aren’t your actions now a violation of our original agreement?" Wang Xu interrupted him, asking expressionlessly.

"I’m truly sorry, this is my fault; I’ll take all the responsibility, please don’t make it difficult for him," Yalunte said, his head lowered, speaking with remorse.

"You’re barely able to protect yourself, and you still want to protect him?" Wang Xu shook his head, displaying a look of helplessness.

Yalunte kept his head down, remaining silent, not really knowing what to say. He hadn’t revealed that it was actually Cheng Ziang who had confessed proactively, probably worried it would affect his career.

"When did he find out?" After a pause, Wang Xu continued asking.

"Oh, that..." Hearing Wang Xu’s question, Yalunte’s expression visibly became panicked.

"Stop pretending, Luo’er already told me," Wang Xu sighed and said, "We still underestimated their investigative capabilities regarding these matters. We thought we could fool everyone, but in fact, they had already noticed and had begun their investigation."

"Then, Ziang, he..." Yalunte lifted his head and asked anxiously, looking at him.

"I’ve already sent Luo’er to do some thought work on him. With Luo’er present, he probably won’t cause any trouble," Wang Xu said, shaking his head as he continued, "Both you, Mr. Yalunte, and Cheng Ziang are pillars of our headquarters; we don’t wish to lose any one of you. Mr. Yalunte, we haven’t done anything to let you down, and we also don’t want to let you down. We hope you can adjust your mindset and not do anything that poses a threat to headquarters."

"But with Ziang being assigned to the Advance Team, I’m always worried about his safety," Yalunte answered truthfully.

"The headquarters are more concerned about his safety than you are, although the motivations might not be entirely pure, it’s essentially out of concern. Now you see, the Advance Team is gradually transitioning out of the combat roster. I suppose after completing this mission, they’ll be able to return to Earth, right?" Wang Xu responded.

"Are you going to bring Ziang back to Earth?" Yalunte asked eagerly.

"Mr. Yalunte wouldn’t want him to stay in this world, would he?" Wang Xu looked at him, asking in an unhurried tone.
