Chapter 937: Chapter 930: Confirming Hostility

Hearing her words, Luo’er and Tangmo exchanged looks and couldn’t help but reveal a smile of relief. After a pause, Luo’er said to Fulajie’er, "Now, time is pressing, and I don’t have much I can teach you, but fortunately, the people you command are all outstanding warriors. So trust them as much as possible and support them. I believe they will handle these matters well. You just need to do what you can."

"Mhm, I understand!" Fulajie’er nodded solemnly.

Then, Luo’er went over some basic techniques with Fulajie’er. Although it was only a few short minutes, Fulajie’er felt she had gained a lot and also felt like she was getting to know Luo’er for the first time.

In Fulajie’er’s mind, Luo’er had always been a gentle and amiable figure, humble and polite to both insiders and outsiders, never arrogant nor demeaning in stature.

But when it came to battle, Luo’er acted like a different person, decisive in killing and cold-blooded without mercy.

At first, Fulajie’er thought Luo’er had two personalities, one humble and gentle, the other decisive and ruthless. But now she finally understood that Luo’er didn’t have two personalities. He had always been the same, it was just that as the Captain of the Advance Team, he carried a huge responsibility and had to force himself to become cold-blooded.

"Remember, with enemies, you should despise them in strategy while being cautious about them in tactics. Don’t assume that the enemy is too strong to be defeated, nor should you take for granted that they are all fools. They are living people, they will be afraid when facing danger, and they will explode with powerful combat prowess when cornered. Our goal is to plant fear in them, to make them dread opposing us, so don’t be too concerned about the kill ratio. War relies on morale, not mindless slaughter," Luo’er said with emphasis.

"I understand," Fulajie’er nodded firmly.

"In any case, think it over carefully, it’s getting late, hurry to the front," saying this, Luo’er looked down at the time and then continued, "Remember, report the battlefield situation to me every ten minutes, including enemy movements and team member positions, so I can make judgments and provide you with suggestions. At other times, it’s all up to you on the battlefield."

"Mhm, I’ve got it all!" said Fulajie’er, and without dithering, she disintegrated on the spot and disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, if we became strategists, does that mean we have more personal time?" Watching Fulajie’er vanish, Tangmo came over to Luo’er, gently tugged at his sleeve, and asked with a hopeful expression.

"Where’s the time for that? Hurry up and find some little trinkets to use as map markers on the battlefield," Luo’er turned his head and told her.

"Ah, got it," Tangmo sighed deeply, her face a picture of disappointment as she left him.

The scene shifted back to Hu Daoke, who had just spotted the enemy. There was a group of about thirty people, most of them carrying weapons. Hu Daoke estimated that roughly twenty people were armed.

Their weapons were a variety of types, mainly bolt-action rifles, of course, there were also about ten or so various rifles, primarily semi-automatic ones, with FALs being prominent.

Hu Daoke even spotted a Browning M1918 automatic rifle, equipped with a rare 30-round magazine that could achieve huge suppressive fire.

The Browning M1918 should actually be classified as a light machine gun, but the arms dealers cleverly used wording to insist it was an automatic rifle.

The reason for this was mainly that if the gun was classified as a light machine gun, it would face much more restrictions than an automatic rifle. Although automatic rifles also belong to military firearms, the restrictions they face are far fewer than those on machine guns.

"Yue’er should take out the machine gunner first," Hu Daoke muttered, then drew a deep breath, rubbed his hands together, and aligned the semi-automatic rifle carriers in his sights.

These people evidently hadn’t noticed anything amiss and continued to trudge through the snow with their weapons. Given their relaxed vigilance, Hu Daoke reckoned they could take out at least half of them in the first wave of attack.

"Big guy, follow my orders when it’s time to act. Luo’er said he can’t manage this side now, so it’s up to me alone," suddenly, Fulajie’er’s voice came from behind, startling Hu Daoke so much he almost shrieked.

"Xiao Fula, don’t startle me like that; I almost ended up shooting because of you," Hu Daoke turned around, patting his heart while still feeling lingering fear.

"Sorry, sorry, I just, just..." Fulajie’er seemed to be under great pressure, so her speech was stammering.

"All right, all right, don’t apologize at a time like this. I’ll follow your orders; just give the word, and I’ll open fire," Hu Daoke took a deep breath and continued to aim the machine gun at the group.

"Mm, and don’t be too fixated on waiting for my orders, I..." Fulajie’er stammered.

"I know, I will adjust the deployment based on the situation, you only need to tell me which direction our allies are in," Hu Daoke said without looking back.

"Thank you, big guy!" Hearing his words, a wave of relief washed over Fulajie’er, who was so pressed she could hardly breathe, nearly bursting into tears.

"All right," Hu Daoke waved his hand without looking back and then said earnestly, "Hu Daoke is ready and can open fire at any time."

"Mm, wait for my command. I’ll go and direct the others," Fulajie’er said, preparing to vanish on the spot.

"Also, next time don’t suddenly pop up behind me. In this tense environment, it’s pretty scary," Hu Daoke remarked feelingly.

"I’m sorry, I’ll rectify that!" Fulajie’er said, and then disappeared instantly.

Elsewhere, Cheng Ziang was hiding behind a tree trunk with a stockless rifle, waiting for the enemy to arrive. Soon, Fulajie’er’s figure suddenly appeared in front of him and said urgently, "That, um, Cheng Ziang, Luo’er says you should follow my command."

"Understood!" Cheng Ziang nodded, speaking indifferently.

"Use the machine gunner’s gunfire as a signal to shoot, pay attention to your position, and don’t foolishly wait for my order," Fulajie’er continued.

"Don’t worry, I’m not foolish," Cheng Ziang shrugged and said with a smile.

"Good, I’ll go inform the others," Fulajie’er nodded and prepared to rush off to the next person’s location.

"Hold on!" At that moment, Cheng Ziang suddenly called out to her.

"What is it?" Fulajie’er asked, blinking.

"You still need to confirm the identities of those people to avoid harming the innocent. Only after confirming their hostility can we open fire. We, the Advance Team, may not be good people, but we also do not wish to kill unnecessarily. This isn’t just what I want, I believe it’s also Luo’er’s wish," Cheng Ziang said gravely.

"They really want to take the Snow Elf away..." Fulajie’er looked at him, nonplussed.

"All our actions are now based on your reconnaissance. If there’s a mistake in your reconnaissance, those innocents could end up dead. We can’t afford such a cost, neither can you," Cheng Ziang said.

"I understand, I’ll go verify their hostility first!" Fulajie’er took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"You go and alert everyone, take your signal as the standard to fire in unison. Once you confirm their hostility, then activate the magic shield to block them. When we see them being stopped, we’ll take that as the signal to fire," Cheng Ziang suggested.

"Okay, I’ve got it!" Fulajie’er nodded vigorously, feeling as though she learned a ton in the past few hours.

"You really are stretched thin, it must be tough on you," Cheng Ziang leaned back against the tree and shook his head sympathetically.

"No, I don’t find it hard," Fulajie’er took a deep breath and then said sincerely, "I am a deity, I won’t die. Compared to myself, I’m more worried about you all. I’m really concerned that you might get injured or even lose your lives, so I’m trying hard to do everything as well as possible."

"Don’t worry, we are seasoned Special Forces soldiers, this little skirmish is nothing to us!" Cheng Ziang said with a reassuring smile.

"What does ’this little skirmish is nothing to us’ mean?" Fulajie’er couldn’t help but ask.

"Hurry up and go, don’t dawdle," Cheng Ziang didn’t explain.

"Okay, you all must be careful!" Fulajie’er said, and finally, she disappeared on the spot.
