Otherworld Advance Team

Chapter 932: Chapter 925: Real-Time Strategy

"Although the CIA currently controls a relatively small area, it’s not much smaller than ours. Finding an Otherworld Gate within their control zone is still quite easy. Earth’s scientists once made a rough estimate; there are definitely over a thousand Otherworld Gates on the entire Otherworld Continent," Luo’er analyzed calmly.

"So what should we do now, launch a preemptive strike?" Tangmo asked.

"No," Luo’er shook his head and said, "For now, we can’t be completely sure that these people are directly connected to the CIA. A rash attack could likely harm innocents, and our enemy is the CIA, not the people of the Otherworld. So my personal opinion is to stay put, strengthen reconnaissance, and if they do try something, we can counteract immediately."

"Are you sure you want to wait here?" Axia looked at him and said, "Frankly, with what’s happened, my tracks have been revealed. I don’t think I can continue living here. The only option is to find another residence or to directly take you to the crypt."

"If you don’t mind, you could move to our organization’s station in Yazhi City, we will do our utmost to ensure your safety," Baiyue suddenly interjected.

Hearing her words, Axia looked around at everyone present, observing their expressions, then revealed a faint smile, an ambivalent expression.

Baiyue’s suggestion was actually what Luo’er had in mind. Axia was highly accomplished in magic, indeed a talent; being a Snow Elf who had lived for hundreds of years, she certainly knew more than the average person. If they could bring her into their ranks, it would undoubtedly strengthen the core competitiveness of Headquarters.

Luo’er did not know Axia’s stance, but he was clear that she definitely hadn’t rejected the idea, because if she were unwilling, she would have opposed it immediately, instead of showing an ambivalent expression.

If they could persuade her in the coming days, they might be able to recruit this knowledgeable Snow Elf Mage and add a boost to Headquarters’ endeavors.

"If we’re to hold our position here, we need to consider the weapons and ammunition we have. If the enemy does counterattack, then we must use the least ammunition to achieve the best combat results," Cheng Ziang said.

"Ah, that’s easy, just let Little Fengye handle it all," Hu Daoke patted Feng’s shoulder and said.

"Our Advance Team isn’t just made up of Feng’s combat power, others have fighting capabilities too," pausing for a moment, Cheng Ziang continued, "Besides, Feng is our trump card. We absolutely can’t let her exhaust all her strength unless it’s absolutely necessary because she’s very vulnerable during her magic power vacuum period, and if the enemy attacks at that time, it would be a serious problem."

Feng’s Magic Formulas were indeed powerful, but that depended on her having a sufficient reserve of magic power. Once her magic power was depleted, Feng was merely a Swordsman.

Even more so, when her magic was exhausted, her body might experience some negative effects, so unless it was a time of utmost peril, she absolutely couldn’t deplete all the magic stored in her body.

"If these people return in force, we should indeed make preparations in advance to strike with minimal cost for the best results," Luo’er nodded in agreement to Cheng Ziang’s suggestion.

"Do you have any ideas?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"What else can we do," Luo’er shrugged and said, "the same old tactic, to strike with superior firepower and achieve the best effect in the shortest amount of time, forcing the enemy to retreat."

"I’m not so sure about that..." Cheng Ziang shook his head and said.

"Oh? Let’s hear your thoughts then," Luo’er looked at him and said.

"If these people are indeed connected with the CIA, or let’s say they are mercenaries trained by the CIA, then I don’t think they’ll be so easily confused by our rapid and fierce tactics. In any case, we are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Once they steady themselves, the ambush could very well turn into a war of attrition, which would be quite damaging for us given our lack of ammunition," Cheng Ziang analyzed.

"That makes sense!" Luo’er nodded solemnly.

"What do you think we should do?" Baiyue looked at Cheng Ziang and asked.

"A sparrow warfare," Cheng Ziang patted the control system of his super-mobility device at his waist and then said earnestly, "We can use our equipment advantage to create a disparity in power. Although we are outnumbered, our weapons and equipment are definitely advanced enough. If we can utilize the gap in these weapons and equipment to disperse and ambush the enemy, I think we can effectively counter their offensive."

"Hmm, continue!" Luo’er nodded.

"Our super-mobility devices will allow me to move quickly and efficiently in the snow, and with Fulajie’er as our reconnaissance, we can hammer them here and there, keeping the enemy confused. We’re not seeking maximum casualties, just enough to break their morale and force them to retreat. What do you think?" Cheng Ziang looked at everyone and asked.

"But this way, communication becomes key; without effective communication, let alone striking the enemy, we may even accidentally hurt our own." Luo’er frowned and pondered.

"Luo’er, have you ever played RTS games?" Cheng Ziang did not immediately answer but asked an apparently off-topic question.

"What RTS? I don’t play games," Luo’er shook his head and said.

"You mean Real-Time Strategy games, like Red Alert 3 or StarCraft 5," Hu Daoke rolled his eyes and said.

"Exactly, Real-Time Strategy games," Cheng Ziang nodded and continued, "We are like combat units, and what we need now is a player with an overview of the entire game, who can command these combat units, tell us where to move, and which enemy position to eliminate. Combined with our super-mobility devices, that’s how we can achieve the best results in sparrow warfare."

"Where do we find such a player? This isn’t Earth," Hu Daoke said.

"Fula!" Luo’er blurted out Cheng Ziang’s intention.

"You want Fula to command us in battle?" Tangmo pointed at himself, a look of disbelief on his face as he asked.

"As it stands, Fulajie’er is the most suitable candidate. Don’t forget, she’s a demigod; in a way, she’s like a game player," Cheng Ziang confidently said.

"We’re not questioning Fula’s abilities, it’s just that she..." Luo’er hesitated.

"You think she lacks command abilities?" Cheng Ziang asked, then shrugged and said, "I think quite the opposite; I believe what Fulajie’er lacks is simply an opportunity."

"No, no, no, letting Xiao Fula command us in battle is too reckless, don’t you think? She hasn’t undergone any training, and you want to throw her straight into the battlefield—who will be responsible if something goes wrong?" Hu Daoke spread his hands and said.

"Given our current situation, I don’t think we have the luxury of training opportunities," Cheng Ziang paused, then continued, "Besides, this is a method I just thought of. If I hadn’t brought it up, you probably wouldn’t even know there was such a way of fighting, right?"

"Luo’er," he looked at Luo’er and said, "I’ve always felt that we should adjust our combat strategy, and this is a good opportunity to let Fula command us, the combat units, instead of just letting her handle reconnaissance and communication. I’ve always believed she has potential in command, and her current spiritual state is also well-suited for overseeing the layout, isn’t it?"

"Hmm, now that you mention it, I do see that we indeed need to adjust our approach." Luo’er nodded, in agreement with Cheng Ziang’s opinion.

"No, Xiao Fula is still just a child. To make her the commander of the Advance Team is too..." Hu Daoke hesitated to say.
