Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046 Special Forces

Hearing Zhu Ge Ming’s speech, not only Li Ruguang but even Ji Ning seemed to see Ling Xiao in a new light.

The first time he met Ling Xiao, the young man had impressed him solely with his boldness and intelligence.

The earlier incident with the pills had made him think the young man was generous.

Now, he had even come up with Array Formations, and he didn’t know what to say.

This young man was truly more terrifying than Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue combined back in the day; indeed, each generation surpasses the previous one in talent.

"Regarding the materials, you all need not worry. When I designed these Array Formations and Magic Arrays, I already considered the materials. In fact, there’s no need for you to look for them, as I have enough here. However, it would be best if you could find more, as we might need to maintain and repair them later."

Ling Xiao casually mentioned, causing several jaws to drop in the council hall.

"You really always manage to surprise us."

Ji Ning said with a wry smile.

"Zhu Ge Ming, take the materials and immediately repair the Magic Arrays and Array Formations of Northern Desert City. Be sure to finish before the war begins."

"Yes, Great General!"

Zhu Ge Ming was thrilled. With these upgraded defensive formations, their chances of winning had increased significantly.

Although Timmerman Muto was formidable, he probably could never have anticipated the variable that was Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Zhu Ge Ming, saying, "Here are all the materials. Take them, General Zhu."

"Thank you!"

At this point, Zhu Ge Ming was utterly in awe of Ling Xiao.

After Zhu Ge Ming had left, Zhang Yu Fei chuckled and said, "Brother Ling, look at how you’ve outfitted Zhu Ge Ming with such great stuff. Could you possibly help enhance our infantry’s combat capability?"

"I have seen that the weapons and armor used by the soldiers of Northern Desert City are rather outdated, they must be upgraded. It’s just a pity we don’t have much time; otherwise, I would have reforged everything."

Ling Xiao sighed.

"No way, you know how to forge artifacts?"

Zhang Yu Fei was surprised once again.

And Ji Ning was almost numb from the shock.

Ling Xiao’s surprises came one after another, and he was now almost used to them.

"A little, I guess."

Ling Xiao was quite modest.

"After we hold Northern Desert City this time, we must trouble you to forge more weapons and armor for us."

Zhang Yu Fei remarked poignantly.

"Actually, we don’t have to wait that long. Although I cannot forge from scratch, I can still improve the performance of armor and weapons."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Really?"

Another surprise came just when Zhang Yu Fei was ready to accept they couldn’t enhance their military strength; Ling Xiao had surprised him again.

"Of course, it’s just about adding supporting Magic Arrays. Including bows and spears, it can all be done. I’m just a bit short on materials for that, so I’ll need your help."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Alright, list the materials for us, and we’ll find a way."

Zhang Yu Fei said excitedly.

Ling Xiao nodded, then took a piece of paper and wrote down the needed materials, which were actually quite simple; the key was a large amount of Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Additionally, we will need some attribute-carrying Crystal Stones or Demon Cores.

For the people of Northern Desert City, this really isn’t a problem, as the various Monster Beasts and Ferocious Beasts in the desert are abundant, and they have more than enough stored Demon Cores.

After checking the inventory, Zhang Yu Fei and Li Ruguang both indicated that they would go prepare the materials immediately.

Qin Huo also wanted to go, but Ji Ning stopped him.

"Ling Xiao, I asked Qin Huo to stay behind because I wanted to tell you something. If you want to earn military merits, staying in Si Kong Zun’s team definitely won’t work. It would be better for you to join the Heavenly Wolf Knights. That way, it will be easier to earn military merits."

Ji Ning revealed the true purpose of keeping Qin Huo behind.

Ling Xiao thought about it but shook his head, "Great General, thank you for your kindness, but I have a better idea."

"A better idea?"

Ji Ning asked, puzzled, "What idea?"

"Would the Great General allow me to select some sharp and capable individuals from the army to form a special team?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"A special team?"

"Yes, let’s call it Special Forces!"

Ling Xiao nodded, "The team won’t be large, at most a hundred people. Their strength must be top-notch among the soldiers, and they must possess special abilities and be willing to follow commands."

"What is this Special Forces for?"

Ji Ning asked, puzzled.

"The Special Forces won’t be exposed to the public but will be a covert team hidden by the nation, never having revealed themselves nor their existence known. They will serve as a critical weapon on the battlefield, able to turn the tides in desperate moments and even sacrifice themselves for decisive victories.

They must be prepared to die; their missions are incredibly challenging, even unimaginably dreadful.

They will achieve feats unknown to anyone, save lives without recognition, and even in sacrifice, they will receive no honors.

Silently serving the nation without seeking any reward, that is what makes the soldiers in Special Forces special!"

Ling Xiao replied, "By forming this Special Forces, we can execute many special operations.

For example, decapitation operations.

That is, targeting key figures and command centers of the enemy, leaving the enemy headless and unable to communicate.

Another example is disruption operations.

This would involve inhibiting the enemy’s capabilities, including destroying their equipment and systems, attacking vital civilian infrastructure, and ambushing enemy forces.

Psychological warfare also plays a significant role in the entire disruption strategy because the surprise attacks by Special Forces inherently create fear and chaos within the enemy ranks.

There are also escort and rescue operations, all within the scope of what Special Forces can do.

Because the targets are small and stealth is strong, they can also perform reconnaissance and infiltration."

Regarding Special Forces, Ling Xiao had not been familiar with the concept before, but the new memories awakened within his Spirit Sea gave him this knowledge.

He felt it was very fitting and suitable for him.

Which is why he proposed it, to let Ji Ning establish such a Special Forces team.

"How did you come up with this?"

Even the usually unshakeable Ji Ning was astounded upon hearing Ling Xiao’s speech.

"I read about it in ancient texts. Actually, before the war between True Demon Empire and the Sacred Dynasty, True Demon Empire had already formed a similar team. After the war broke out, that team infiltrated the enemy nation and carried out extensive sabotage operations, achieving remarkable results. This solidified the primary mode of operation for special operations teams within the Mysterious World."

Ling Xiao completely made that up, but it was something Ji Ning couldn’t verify.

"Good, no matter where you read it from, I am very interested in this innovative model. Alright, I’ll grant you the authority to select any soldiers you need from the Heavenly Wolf Knights, archers, infantry, and mechanized troops!"

Ji Ning, liking the idea, agreed to Ling Xiao’s proposal.
