Chapter 365: Commander!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Li Yang, tell me everything that happened that day!”

In Wild Wolf Town, a man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a one-eyed mask, spoke in a deep voice

“Uncle Wang, is there really a need to be so tense?”

Li Yang, a young man who looked to be in his late teens, decked out in gold and silver and with dyed green hair.

He stood with a defiant expression, hands in his pockets.

“You know what a dead soldier is?!”

Uncle Wang’s expression was grave. “Based on your description, those soldiers were ready to die to protect their officer. Do you realize what that means?”

Li Yang nonchalantly picked his ear with his pinky finger, “Doesn’t matter who he is, I won anyway!”

“You didn’t win!” Uncle Wang said, frustrated.

“If you were going to make a move, you should have finished it cleanly. You should have sent people to chase down and eliminate that officer too!”

“Hey, all his men are dead, what’s there to fear from a lone commander?”

Li Yang scoffed dismissively, seemingly not understanding Uncle Wang’s caution.

Uncle Wang shook his head, reminding him, “Do you know anything about their background”

“How can you be sure they were just a small team? What if they had backers, a larger group behind them…?”

“Heh!” Li Yang chuckled.

“Uncle Wang, you’ve gotten old, the bolder you get, the world belongs to the young…”

Seeing the old man’s increasingly grim expression, Li Yang tempered his tone slightly, ‘They couldn’t possibly be from a major power.”

“I observed them before taking action. They brought lots of food and supplies. Do you think soldiers from a major power would need to bring those things here?”

“Only locals would carry that much food…”

“Besides, when I went to the shelter, there were still fifteen of them guarding it, and the bodies in the shelter had been cleaned up…”

“Who from a major power would bother with that?”

“Clearly, they were locals, cleaning up the bodies to stay permanently…”

Uncle Wang frowned slightly, seeming to find some sense in his words, but still worried, ‘Dead soldiers…’

“There are only two ways to create dead soldiers…”

“One is through loyalty, where others are willing to die for someone, a master of psychological warfare…”

“The other is through threat, with families held hostage, leaving no choice but to become a dead soldier…”

“But from your description, those soldiers immediately protected their officer, which means these dead soldiers were the first kind…”

Li Yang laughed, “So what? However formidable he is, didn’t I still wipe out his men?”

“His weapons, his car…”

The next second, three camouflage cloths were pulled down, revealing the vehicles and soldiers hidden in the forest.

This time, the soldiers who came were not many, just ten people including the five from the reconnaissance team, forming two small squads of five each.

However, these men were elite, with four assaulters and four recons. Each had undergone training worth 5 tech points, the cheapest among combat roles, but their professional quality was beyond that of ordinary special forces.

In addition to the eight specialized combat troops, there were two sergeant commanders, each trained with 10 tech points.

Initially, Zhao Yu had just wanted to try out the training, but the performance of the commanders exceeded his expectations.

Each commander was proficient in various tactics, although a sergeant-level could only command a squad of five.

But the primary use of these commanders was to fully harness the abilities of their subordinates.

Moreover, the commanders and soldiers didn’t need to communicate verbally; within a hundred meters, the chips in their heads could automatically send signals for communication and information transfer.

Zhao Yu also discovered that the chips in the commanders’ skulls seemed superior to those of ordinary soldiers, having greater intelligence and capable of conducting normal conversations with humans without revealing their robotic nature.

Previously, Zhao Yu mostly refrained from letting his soldiers converse with other humans, fearing too much talk might reveal their secrets.

Of course, these were secondary. For him, revenge was the key.

Thus, Zhao Yu invested all his tech points into the training 15 soldiers, all with sergeant commanders.

He formed three groups: a sniper team, an assault team, and a reconnaissance team.

Since being ambushed last time, Zhao Yu had focused on reconnaissance and intelligence, prioritizing the reconnaissance team.

The results satisfied him, at least deducing the number of armed personnel in Wild Wolf Town.

Three hundred to five hundred people, with heavy firepower; with his current strength, it seemed difficult to breach the town.

Zhao Yu sighed; the revenge mission couldn’t be completed yet. He needed further development.

The group of eleven got into three off-road vehicles and drove away.

After leaving their hiding spot and passing a small hill, Zhao Yu stopped the convoy and turned to a commander, “Inform the sniper team to retreat!”

“Yes, Commander!”

This was another role of the commanders, to relay information to other commanders, with a range of a hundred meters.

Ordinary soldiers could only communicate with their own commander or report and transmit information.

Shortly after, a team of five soldiers with sniper rifles and supportive gears ran down from the hillsides flanking the road.

These were the snipers Zhao Yu had set up for his retreat, to prevent being discovered by the enemy and to have a means of retaliation.

As the sniper team’s first squad boarded the vehicles, the space became cramped, but Zhao Yu, sitting in the co-driver’s seat, wasn’t affected.

“Head to the shelter first…”

Now being too close to Wild Wolf Town, Zhao Yu planned to drive the vehicles there before wrapping up.

There were tire tracks on the ground from earlier when the enemy had captured their vehicles, so no need to erase the tracks.

On the way back to the base, Zhao Yu made arrangements, deliberately taking detours to mislead the tracks in other directions.

By the time Zhao Yu returned to the base, he had been awake for nearly twenty hours and was extremely tired.

He arranged for the reconnaissance team to lie in wait near the base to prevent being discovered, then made some other defense preparations before finally falling into a deep sleep..
