Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Follow Me to Kill Someone
Seeing the look on Gongsun Wuliang’s face, both Long Qie and Titan were taken aback. Gongsun Wuliang was responsible for intelligence within Sky Net, naturally privy to things many didn’t know. At this moment, seeing the so-called Demon Blood Warriors, he exhibited such an expression. Could it be that those Demon Blood Warriors were terrifying?
Xiao Zheng, however, seemed unsurprised, as if he had anticipated this. He calmly asked, "What are Demon Blood Warriors?"
Gongsun Wuliang took several deep breaths, calming himself before saying, "I had only heard rumors before. It’s said there’s a miraculous potion in the Demon Shield Bureau, called Demon Blood, which, when consumed, can fully unleash the body’s potential, exponentially increasing combat power!"
"This is a terrifying potion that kills anyone within three days of consumption. It never crossed my mind that the Demon Shield Bureau would go insane to such an extent as to actually use it!"
"These one thousand people are undoubtedly a sharp blade. The Demon Shield Bureau’s aim is to destroy our camp, to obliterate our command structure, leaving our Sky Net army leaderless! Mr. Xiao, you must leave quickly; you cannot stay here."
Gongsun Wuliang concluded.
His voice trembled, seemingly filled with immense fear.
Both Long Qie and Titan were astonished and asked, "Are they really that terrifying?"
Xiao Zheng ignored Gongsun Wuliang, turned around, his eyes gazing through the mountains towards the north, in the direction of the Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he murmured, "Finally, this is the time I’ve been waiting for."
Long Qie and Titan asked in confusion, "Mr. Xiao, what time is it?" Could it be that Xiao Zheng had already anticipated this situation and was prepared?
Xiao Zheng did not answer, looking at Dugu Baitian, he said, "Brother Dugu, these one thousand people will be difficult to deal with, I’ll leave them to you. Additionally, the battlefield here is in your hands. I have something to take care of now."
Dugu Baitian nodded and said, "No problem."
Long Qie and Titan remained silent, knowing that Xiao Zheng would certainly have orders next.
Sure enough, Xiao Zheng turned to Long Qie and Titan, saying, "Titan, you stay with Brother Dugu to maintain control here. Long Qie, gather three thousand elite troops from Sky Net and follow me, we’re going to pay a visit to the Demon Shield Bureau’s base camp!"
Long Qie, startled, asked, "The Demon Shield Bureau’s base camp?"
Xiao Zheng replied, "The purpose of the squad deployed by the Demon Shield Bureau is to target me, to disrupt our command system, leaving Sky Net leaderless."
"These people have all taken Demon Blood, making them powerful. The Demon Shield Bureau is undoubtedly confident, believing they will succeed. Even if they don’t, they expect to achieve gratifying results."
"They would never dream that I would leave my camp at this time, to counterattack their base! Therefore, in such circumstances, I can catch them off guard!"
Hearing this, Long Qie pondered for a moment and said, "So, Mr. Xiao, your purpose is the same as the Demon Shield Bureau’s, to launch a surprise attack on their base camp for a decapitation strike?"
Xiao Zheng’s eyes turned sharp as he said, "Yes, although the Demon Shield Bureau is powerful, their top leaders can’t compare in combat power. If we can eliminate those leaders, the biochemical warriors of the Demon Shield Bureau will be leaderless and easily defeated."
Recovering from his earlier terror, Gongsun Wuliang calmed himself and, upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s plan, couldn’t help saying, "Mr. Xiao, this is very dangerous! Even I am unsure of the situation inside Demon Shield Bureau headquarters; who knows what might be lurking there."
Xiao Zheng calmly replied, "Our battles with the Demon Shield Bureau have always been fought with fewer against more, the weak against the strong. Without taking risks, there’s no chance of victory."
Everyone was shaken, detecting a profound heroic sense in Xiao Zheng’s calm words, clearly showing he was willing to sacrifice everything for the victory of this war.
Even if it meant potentially being surrounded by the Demon Shield Bureau, he showed no fear.
Even if it meant possibly being completely annihilated by the forces at the Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters, he exhibited no dread.
"Alright, let’s go."
Xiao Zheng gave a soft command, then turned and descended from the high ground. Long Qie quickly followed. Soon, Long Qie assembled the elite troops within the camp, swiftly gathering them together.
Then, they boarded a medium-sized warship.
Although this warship wasn’t as powerful as the mothership, it was extremely fast and discreet, making it the perfect tool for this surprise attack.
Amidst the ongoing battle, the medium-sized warship set off like an arrow from the bow from an inconspicuous small harbor on the northern side of the island, heading swiftly towards the Demon Shield Bureau’s base camp.
At this moment, Dugu Baitian also began to take action. He looked at Titan and asked, "How many warriors do you still have?"
For Dugu Baitian, Titan was very respectful as he knew of Dugu Baitian’s prowess, and quickly replied, "There are thirty thousand troops from Sky Net in total. Mr. Xiao took three thousand, leaving roughly seventeen thousand still in the camp."
Dugu Baitian pondered for a moment and said, "Leave the thousand Demon Blood Warriors to me, don’t intervene."
Titan hesitated and said, "According to Gongsun Wuliang, these people are quite formidable."
Dugu Baitian responded coldly, "I will slaughter them like pigs and dogs!"
Titan, although a bit skeptical, considered Dugu Baitian’s combat strength and thought such a person wouldn’t boast lightly. He then said, "In that case, I’ll await your good news, Lord Dugu."
Dugu Baitian merely nodded and descended from the high ground.
Titan continued to command from this high ground.
Without high-tech instruments, the command method had to rely on ancient techniques, overlooking the battlefield and using messengers to relay orders across the battlefield.
Titan, a general of Sky Net, was not only formidable in combat power but also exceptionally skilled in command, adeptly managing this large-scale naval battle.
After descending from the high ground, Dugu Baitian arrived in front of his camp and told the leader, "Follow me, we’re going to kill."
The five thousand troops Dugu Baitian brought were all elite from Futu, each full of pride.
The battle between Sky Net and the Demon Shield Bureau had begun last night and continued to this dawn. These soldiers were long raring to go, eager to fight on the battlefield. But without orders, they could only hold back.
