"Let’s get straight to the point."
Chu Erzhu’s expression hardened, becoming very serious. Ye Fan’s words echoed in his ears and imprinted in his mind. Now was not the ti to talk about retirent; the current mission was of paramount importance, leaving no room for negligence.
"Please tell us now, we are eager to know exactly who the target of this mission is." Zhang Lu and the others exchanged glances, showing solemn expressions and keen interest.
Ye Fan also quieted down, waiting for Chu Erzhu’s explanation.
"The target this ti is the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps," Chu Erzhu said. "The Poison Dragon rcenary Corps has five commanders, each a ruthless character. Four n and one woman; among them, the second commander, codenad White Whale, is a woman. The chief commander, Hawk, is at the top, holding significant power. The third commander is Sea Horse, the fourth is Grizzly Bear, and the fifth is Black Shark. Here is the information on the five commanders for you to review."
Chu Erzhu distributed prepared dossiers to Ye Fan and the others.
"This information is what we have learned about the five commanders of the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps. The information on these docunts is verified and accurate. We also managed to infiltrate the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps with three of our own people, but sadly they were sacrificed. We paid a heavy price to gather this intelligence."
Chu Erzhu explained as he watched Ye Fan and the others seriously reading through the materials.
"The Poison Dragon rcenary Corps has about one thousand mbers. It’s a large smuggling syndicate involved in drugs, human trafficking, and many other cris, especially crossing our borders to murder and harm our compatriots. We’ve had nurous encounters with the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps, but considering their base is in the country M in Southeast Asia, its exact location is still uncertain. We have a few suspected locations but no concrete evidence of the base’s whereabouts."
"In past battles, we’ve always had the upper hand, eliminating many from the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps. But this rcenary group is a cancer; unless eradicated completely, they quickly replace their losses, creating imnse pressure. Over long-term engagents, they’ve inflicted unimaginable damage on us."
Chu Erzhu’s deanor was solemn, with deep eyes full of calm and sharpness. The hatred for the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps was evident but not overtly displayed. From this, it was clear they were a formidable enemy.
"What is our ultimate goal for this operation?" Ye Fan asked.
"Eliminate the five commanders. As long as the five commanders of the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps are dead, this threat can be removed. Of course, it’s also necessary to destroy as much of their manpower as possible," Chu Erzhu stated without hesitation.
"However, since we can’t locate their base, targeting the suspected areas might alert them. If the enemy relocates to a new hiding spot, all our efforts would be in vain. We must strike with certainty. If the situation becos too complicated, allowing the enemy ti to breathe, it will be challenging to eliminate them," Ye Fan was concerned.
"Your concerns are valid; this issue has been carefully thought through and discussed. Hence, your operation will have no official support. Your team will get no external assistance. You are on your own, and all supplies, from food to equipnt, must be obtained from the enemy," Chu Erzhu explained calmly to Ye Fan and the others. If the enemy crosses the border, they wouldn’t hesitate. However, since the enemy is within another country’s borders, no actions can be taken. Considering the enemy’s threat, it’s essential to deploy a small, highly capable force to complete this arduous task independently.
Among Ye Fan’s team, if soone were to die and there was an opportunity to recover the body, it would naturally be retrieved and returned under a different identity.
If even the body couldn’t be recovered, then they’d end up as unrecognized, unclaid souls.
That’s the reality and an unavoidable consequence.
Since the decision to execute such a mission has been made, there’s no need to worry about what cos after.
"I anticipate the difficulty and danger of this mission. Therefore, I’m not concerned about supplies and survival," Ye Fan said, looking at Chu Erzhu. "What worries is that we don’t need many people for the strike force. As long as they are elite, it’s enough. Besides Zhang Lu and six others, I considered having Qin Yi’s ten n join us, but it seems they wouldn’t serve much purpose and would only be a burden, increasing casualties. So I’ve decided that before the mission begins, I’ll find the bodies of Chi Qinyuan and the others, then have Qin Yi’s n return with them. The rest is up to us."
"Are you sure you don’t want to take Qin Yi’s unit?" Chu Erzhu asked solemnly. "They could help share the burden."
"The consequence of sharing the burden would be aningless deaths," Ye Fan replied calmly. "The critical aspect of this mission is to fight against large numbers with few n, succeeding through surprise attacks. Having too many people might ruin it. I only need Zhang Lu and the others to assist with successive strikes. I’ll handle the target elimination myself; extra considerations are pointless."
"Since you have made your decision, everything will be carried out as you wish. I’ll agree to your request," Chu Erzhu said. "You have your reasoning, and I won’t interfere with your plans. It’s all up to you."
"However, I must emphasize that retrieving the bodies of Chi Qinyuan and the others will be challenging," Chu Erzhu said solemnly. "The area where Chi Qinyuan and the others’ bodies lie is in the sa area where the fifth commander, Black Shark, operates. Black Shark’s unit is about a hundred n strong, and they were the culprits behind Chi Qinyuan’s death. Others didn’t even have a chance to bring back the bodies, burying them hastily before retreating.
"After completing the smuggling operation, Black Shark didn’t withdraw promptly but lingered. My guess is that there’s an eighty percent chance Chi Qinyuan and the others’ remains have been discovered by now, and Black Shark and his crew might be setting a trap for us,"
Chu Erzhu laid out his observations and analyses, all well-founded and reasoned.
Since this involves the remains of martyrs, and there’s a chance the enemy has set a trap, careful consideration is warranted.
