Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Xiao Zheng’s Stratagem
Xiao Zheng was like a sharp blade, piercing fiercely into the opponent’s heart, carving out a path of blood; no one could withstand him for even a moment.
Long Qie and those elite warriors of Sky Net were greatly encouraged, shouting as they charged forward, bravely facing the enemy and engaging in fierce battle with the biochemical warriors of the Demon Shield Bureau.
Thus, on this ancient and seldom-touched icy snow land, a battle that could even shake the clouds in the sky unfolded here.
Meanwhile, near the Sky Net Island, a scout soldier rushed breathlessly to the front of the command room where Sikureijeman was, yelling, "It’s bad, it’s bad!"
Sikureijeman was currently discussing plans to attack the island with Steel Man and others, commanding the ongoing fierce battle outside. Hearing the scout soldier’s voice, he immediately frowned and shouted, "Come in!"
The scout soldier hurriedly said upon entering, "We just received a piece of news: a medium-sized ship from Sky Net quietly left the island at dawn and headed towards our Demon Shield Bureau headquarters!"
Sikureijeman was taken aback, striding to the scout soldier, lifting him up, and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again!" His expression turned very ferocious.
The scout soldier was terrified, stammering to repeat what he had just said.
Sikureijeman let go of the scout soldier, his body swayed almost falling. His face turned extremely unsightly, gritting his teeth, he said, "Evil God!"
Steel Man, Red Giant, Black Ji, and others were also shaken by this news, all saying, "That Evil God took advantage of this opportunity to sneak attack!"
Sikureijeman took a deep breath, walked to the map, and looked, saying, "We were all fooled. We previously dispatched one thousand Demon Blood Soldiers led by Leviathan, hoping to cause chaos in Sky Net’s headquarters and disrupt their command system. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zheng used this opportunity to leave the island and sneak attack our headquarters!"
Black Ji said, "Could this be a trick? Intentionally deceiving us?"
Red Giant also said, "Earlier, we all heard there was fierce fighting at Sky Net’s camp. Though Leviathan and the thousand Demon Blood Warriors failed, they definitely caused significant damage to Sky Net. I don’t believe Xiao Zheng would leave at such a moment."
Sikureijeman said coldly, "Really? Look, is Sky Net’s command a bit chaotic now?"
Red Giant and Black Ji fell silent. Sky Net’s command style changed, calm yet robust, but still very tricky.
The biochemical warriors of the Demon Shield Bureau and the Martial Arts Warriors of Sky Net had very enduring stamina; the battle hadn’t ceased from last night until now, still continuing intensely, but during this process, though Sky Net’s command style shifted slightly, it was still extremely formidable.
From this, Leviathan’s one thousand Demon Blood Warriors failed.
"Regardless, we can’t take risks. If Xiao Zheng truly seized this opportunity to sneak attack our Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters, it would surely cause significant losses to our headquarters, and the number one commander is there. We can’t take any chances!" Sikureijeman said viciously.
Steel Man nodded slowly, saying, "I agree with the number two commander’s opinion."
"Alright, now send a signal to recall the biochemical warriors still fighting and set off for headquarters to support it!" Sikureijeman commanded.
Red Giant frowned and said, "Director, headquarters has over a hundred thousand biochemical warriors, very formidable. We shouldn’t rush, right?"
If they retreat hastily now, it would give Sky Net the chance to chase and kill them, causing considerable losses to the Demon Shield Bureau.
Red Giant was precisely worried about this.
Sikureijeman said solemnly, "Indeed, the headquarters’ troops are elite, but you must not forget, this army has always been stationed at headquarters, hardly ever going out to battle, right?"
"This army is like the Imperial Guard in the ancient capital of Huaxia, well-equipped, soldiers meticulously selected, but due to being pampered, it has weak combat effectiveness instead."
"Hence, we must go to support them!"
Red Giant, Black Ji, and others no longer opposed.
Then Sikureijeman’s order was issued; the biochemical warriors in battle orderly retreated while fighting under the orders of their respective leaders.
Here, the elite nature of this army was evident; though it was a retreat, there was profound strategy involved.
It even seemed less like a retreat, more like setting a trap to entice Sky Net’s army deep. Any knowledgeable place general seeing such a formation would definitely not order pursuit.
Titan, however, keenly saw through the true intent of the Demon Shield Bureau.
He stood on high ground, chuckled to himself, saying, "Looks like Mr. Xiao and the others have already succeeded halfway. Seeing Sikureijeman and their urgency, Demon Shield Bureau’s headquarters is surely captured."
Then, Titan waved his hand and called a messenger soldier, saying, "Convey my command to each leader, order them to pursue at all costs and slaughter those people."
The command was given, and Sky Net immediately began action. All the Sky Net warriors, under the leadership of their respective leaders, rushed to attack the retreating ships of the Demon Shield Bureau.
Because the Demon Shield Bureau wanted to retreat, they lacked the will to fight, while Sky Net was aggressive, thus in this confrontation suffered heavy losses.
Sikureijeman, however, ignored these, his expression cold, shouting, "Continue retreating!"
In his view, encountering some losses was insignificant; what’s important is to support headquarters.
After fierce killing, the Demon Shield Bureau finally succeeded in retreating, but the losses made Steel Man and others’ hearts bleed; from a hundred thousand troops, only forty to fifty thousand remained, almost half were lost.
For the Demon Shield Bureau, this was unbelievable!
They had never suffered such a severe defeat.
"Evil God, when I capture you, I will repay all the humiliation suffered today!" Sikureijeman thought with venomous eyes.
Yet, despite these harsh words in his heart, he felt a sense of powerlessness again; Xiao Zheng’s strategy was truly too terrifying. Ever since borrowing arrows, he felt almost every step he took was led by the nose by the opponent.
This feeling of complete inability to control almost drove Sikureijeman insane.
