Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1477 1477: Snow Bear Adapts

"The Wild Wolf might have hidden in a cave or soplace similar. The enemy doesn't know the truth and dispatched ground troops, only for them to be surrounded by a pack of wild wolves. Perhaps where the Wild Wolf hid is actually the wolves' den. The enemy might have thought we used the wolves to escape, and in anger, they dispatched fighter jets for support. The pack of wild wolves has already been completely blasted by missiles, the signal device was destroyed, so there's no worry about the enemy deciphering it." The other party quickly replied.

Luo Zheng, realizing their luck, couldn't help but smile. After turning off the signal device, he relayed the situation to Lan Xue. Lan Xue, also surprised by their luck, looked at the dark snowfield mountains and said, "We'll travel through the night, heading east is good. The enemy will only think we've gone south, and we'll walk a few more days that way."

"It will be tough on you." Luo Zheng said with concern.

"It's fine, I can handle it." Lan Xue smiled, not wanting to worry her lover too much, she silently gritted her teeth and persevered, slinging the backpack over her shoulders, picking up her weapon and snowboard.

Luo Zheng watched Lan Xue prepare with concern, sighed quietly to himself, and quickly got ready for departure. The two of them left the canyon, climbed the mountain slope along the hillside, then used their snowboards to travel eastward. Though they slowed down considerably, they were still moving several tis faster than walking and soon disappeared into the vast mountain forest under the night sky.

Almost at the sa ti, in the spacious and comfortable hospital room of the Snow Bear Base Camp, the warmth was as it had been, the fireplace crackling with a bonfire. Nuoqi sat quietly on the bed listening to Cas report the situation, covered with a thin blanket, yet feeling cold inside, his expression as frosty as ever, not changed by the room's warmth.

Cas was in a foul mood too, as foul as the eternally snow-covered outside, but he still honestly said, "General, from the start we mistakenly evaluated the enemy's escape direction, causing us to miss a three-day golden period for pursuit. After three days, we found clues in the west, after chasing for one day and night, we found clues in the east, indicating the enemy is playing us, using the tactic of feinting east while striking west."

"None of that matters, what's important is your judgnt." Nuoqi said coldly. Once again, Cas had lost the target, which disappointed Nuoqi, changing his attitude towards Cas. A person who repeatedly makes mistakes and cannot bring honor to the Snow Bear cannot be continued to be used.

Cas was aware of his status and consequences, but he accepted it. After all, if he couldn't match the opponent, losing ant losing. Cas had the courage to bear the consequences and responsibilities, and he continued honestly, "General, first the enemy goes west, then east. The west could be a decoy, the real location is east."

"I hope your judgnt is accurate this ti, explain your reasoning." Nuoqi said coldly.

"Yes." Cas quickly agreed, "The enemy withdrew continuously for three days, covering over four hundred kiloters, racing in the snow with injured soldiers; the team can't endure this and urgently requires rest. Therefore, I judged they are hiding, then deliberately exposed soone in the west to cover the team's move eastward. This gives the team an extra day of rest, which is critical for an exhausted army."

"That makes so sense, but why isn't the east a decoy, with the enemy making a false move again towards the west?" Nuoqi coldly posed his doubt.

"I've considered that question too. If the enemy chose to retreat west, there's no need to expose the west from the start, which would be disadvantageous to them. Besides, there are wild wolves near the eastern signal source, rember Wolf Valley not far from our base? It was confird three days ago that an enemy lived there. If they could use Wolf Valley to hide once, they could hide twice. So, I suspect they are indeed hiding around the area where the wolf pack lives." Cas explained seriously.

"Then why can't you find anyone?" Nuoqi asked coldly, his face as cold as ice.

"Well, perhaps the enemy had long evacuated, leaving only a signal device. Moreover, based on intelligence from our ground forces, there are traces of people passing by on the ground—snowboards. The enemy used snowboards for locomotion, so their speed can't be deduced conventionally. I suspect the enemy might have already reached the border, suggesting adjusting our deploynt to increase the blockade length along the border to prevent the enemy from crossing." Cas quickly said.

"Already reached the border?" Nuoqi's closed eyes flashed with a complex look of worry, lost in thought. Cas didn't dare disturb him, patiently waited, and after a while, Nuoqi suddenly spoke, "Perhaps the east is also a decoy, the enemy actually went west, or perhaps the west is a decoy, the enemy went east and then south, already reaching the border. Any possibility exists, so we must strengthen the blockade in the west and southeast."

"This?" Cas hesitated.

"What's the problem?" Nuoqi asked sternly with dissatisfaction.

"Reporting to General, there's one issue, the border line is too long. The enemy has satellites, making it easy for them to spot our weak points and break through forcefully, or even bypass it entirely, infiltrating from where we aren't guarding, and we don't have enough troops." Cas explained with a hesitant look.

"Not enough? If not enough, then deploy more." Nuoqi barked in displeasure.

"Yes, but the dostic response has been clear, Huaxia Country is also intensively deploying troops, missile units have also been deployed. If we mobilize any more troops, it could trigger a war between the two countries. The President's stance is quite clear, not one more soldier will be given to us. There's also…" Cas hesitated.

"What else? Speak!" Nuoqi roared in fury, demanding coldly.

"He also said, after mobilizing fifty thousand troops, with almost a hundred fighter jets on all-day rotation, three unmanned reconnaissance drones, and satellites on constant duty, if we still fail to catch anyone, General can resign and take responsibility." Cas said awkwardly in a low voice, observing Nuoqi carefully and found his face extrely displeased. He quickly added, "General, don't be angry, I inquired and found soone is using this as an excuse to make you step down."

"I knew it was these damn political struggles. Let's not talk about this, we underestimated the enemy's cunning. Such a powerful force and we still couldn't find them; indeed, it's our negligence. If I have to resign, it would be appropriate. From now on, do as you said, since we can't find the enemy, then let's not search. Instead, extend the blockade length at the border." Nuoqi said coldly with an iron face, filled with intense killing intent and helplessness.

"Yes, I plan to extend the blockade two hundred kiloters on both east and west, with satellites and drones on constant reconnaissance along the border, not even a fly should be able to pass." Cas said with rising killing intent, secretly clenching his fist.

"No, extend the search three hundred kiloters on both east and west, and get on it imdiately." Nuoqi ordered with killing intent.
