After a round of greetings, everyone sat together. Luo Zheng's gaze gradually beca resolute. He glanced around at everyone and said seriously, "Brothers, I am very happy that you are here, but the enemy is very strong. They are not the usual drug dealers or smugglers you chase. Each one is an elite soldier of the enemy nation. I hope you are ntally prepared. Do not be careless or underestimate them."
The first thing Scholar and others said when they saw Lan Xue was this, and they didn't expect Luo Zheng to also remind them like this. This made everyone alert and silently noted to warn their teams well when they returned. Luo Zheng continued to remind, "We encountered a Japanese Ninja who alone blocked the random gunfire of dozens of people with just a sword, and managed to kill more than ten people in such circumstances, wounding as I retreated."
"Hiss." Scholar and others' expressions beca grave imdiately. Everyone knew that Luo Zheng wouldn't speak without reason. They had ntally prepared before coming, but the enemy turned out to be even stronger than expected. Each one beca more cautious, looking at Luo Zheng, yet the fighting spirit in their eyes did not fade.
This was exactly the effect Luo Zheng wanted. Sacrifices on the battlefield are inevitable, but Luo Zheng didn't want everyone to die in vain. So he used a reminder as an opening statent to warn everyone to be careful. Luo Zheng glanced at the four of them, and suddenly switched to speaking in the international common language, "There's no need to worry too much. As long as the tactics are proper, there is still a chance. Now, we'll assign tasks."
Everyone perked up at the ntion of task assignnts, listening attentively. Luo Zheng's calm gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Lan Xue. Lan Xue nodded understandingly, indicating Luo Zheng to proceed with the task assignnt. Luo Zheng then continued in the international common language, "Monk, you and your people guard the valley's entrance and exit. Scholar, the back mountain. Florist, the left side. Farr, the right side. Any questions?"
"No." The four stood up and responded, their morale soaring.
"Hook, later inform your people to cooperate," Luo Zheng said to Hook.
"No problem. Xiong Bi guards the front, Bao Li the back mountain, Lang Sen the seating mountain, Viper the right mountain. You all know each other, after the eting, communicate well and cooperate unconditionally with their work," Hook imdiately agreed, pointing at the four as he explained.
Scholar and the other three matched with Xiong Bi and the others quickly. Luo Zheng smiled with satisfaction. Everyone was paired up, and exchange below would make many things unsaid, but Luo Zheng believed Scholar and the others could grasp quickly, so he continued, "Hook, the troops at each location have a hundred soldiers each, totaling four hundred. The remaining four hundred form the main reserve, divided into two: one for internal matters, ensuring the valley's safety, the other outwards, ready to attack with us anyti. This team must be elite."
"Fine, the internal one will be led by my father and the Wizard, I'll personally lead the team," Hook agreed.
Luo Zheng pondered for a mont, nodded, and said, "Good, as long as the valley is secured, there will be no worries, and the rest will be easier. After the eting, everyone should quickly familiarize themselves with the situation and prepare. Ghost Hand, Mountain Eagle, please assist them, as they are new here and don't know many things yet."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
"Regarding the weapon allocation, tonight's airdropped land mines must all be deployed. Heavy machine guns and grenade launchers are divided into four. Deploy them as you see fit. Any issues?" Luo Zheng continued to ask, his gaze sweeping past the four of Scholar and landing on Hook.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating no problems. Luo Zheng smiled apologetically and said, "The four of you just arrived. Ideally, we should have welcod you, but unfortunately, the conditions don't allow it. Moreover, the enemy might be lurking around, monitoring, ready to attack anyti. No conditions now, but I'll treat you to drinks when we return ho."
"You're joking; we're here to fight, priorities are clear," Scholar and others expressed one after another.
"eting adjourned; prepare yourselves," Luo Zheng said.
Everyone left, and Ghost Hand and Mountain Eagle followed. The newly arrived four, with Ghost Hand and Mountain Eagle, eased many matters. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue exchanged a glance, and did not rise. Once everyone had left, Lan Xue, concerned, asked, "How's your internal injury recovery?"
"Two or three more days and it'll be nearly there, don't worry. I didn't discuss my deploynt with you in advance. What do you think? If there are issues, raise them soon, there's still ti to improve," Luo Zheng said softly.
"With those four guarding four directions, and they originally being familiar, cooperation won't be an issue. Defense shouldn't be too much of a worry. From your deploynt, reinforcing the fence, ensuring the valley's safety clearly intends for offense. Do you have a plan?" Lan Xue asked with a smile.
"You know best. As long as there are no worries, uniting the strength of the four of us with Hook's elite troops, we will strike out and precisely hit the weaker targets. Since we've embarked on this path and stayed at the headquarters, we aim to face-off against strong enemies and grow in battle, don't we? Now's the chance. How could I compromise or retreat because of defeat and injury?" Luo Zheng laughed, but at the end, his expression turned stern.
"Good," Lan Xue answered with appreciation. As long as Luo Zheng's sharpness remained, Lan Xue felt no worries.
Outside the wooden cabin, it was bustling and noisy. Torches were everywhere. Various supplies and weapons were transported into the valley and piled up at designated spots, then swiftly claid by teams. Rice and similar food was piled up in the sundry room, with Hook assigning special personnel to watch over it.
The entire valley was busy through the night, while Luo Zheng had a good sleep. When he woke, the sun was already up. Breakfast was brought to him, consisting of a large plate of at soup and white rice, making Luo Zheng's taste buds tingle. People of the Hook Tribe do not eat white rice, nor do they have it. Luo Zheng knew rice was airdropped last night, but couldn't fathom who cooked it.
After breakfast, Luo Zheng saw Lan Xue approach. Her face was blackened as if smoked by firewood. She smiled appreciatively. Lan Xue, not clear on the situation, said gravely, "The teams were busy all night, mostly familiarized with the situation, and are already in position. There's no major problem. Today is the day the coalition redeems people, Hook went early to negotiate with the arms dealer representatives. They agreed to et around noon, around eleven, first airdropping materials equivalent to ten people. There will be a transport helicopter to pick them up, should we prepare?"
"No need, any preparation is aningless, everything is settled. We cannot reveal our strength, and the transport helicopter must only use the prescribed route back and forth, no hovering, otherwise, attack. Prevent the helicopter from monitoring and grasping our deploynt situation," Luo Zheng advised.
