Half an hour later, Hariri gathered a large number of ard personnel, so nurous that it was impossible to count, holding torches and setting out. Judging from the direction of the march, they were heading to Bar's area. The purpose was obvious; Hariri was prepared to go to war with Bar. With Bar's strength, he absolutely couldn't withstand Hariri's attack, but with intelligence support, it was different. Luo Zheng quickly activated the signal device.
Once connected to the satellite, Luo Zheng didn't wait for Lan Xing's greeting and imdiately said, "Judging from the length and width of the enemy's march, it's estimated to be around five thousand people. This should be Hariri's regular troops, heading towards the Basto Tribe. Imdiately inform your sister to monitor the troop's movents at all tis. Also, find an ambush point and use the tactics I employed against the enemy previously. Bar experienced it once and knows how to cooperate."
"From the ti we took out nearly a thousand pursuers, right? Okay, I'll notify her imdiately," Lan Xing quickly replied.
"Yes, but before that, we must send the dical team away as soon as possible. Hariri's troops need a night to march quickly, which is enough ti to prepare. With Hariri's caution, they won't move quickly. They are expected to reach the border line tomorrow night. Everyone is reluctant to act at night. He can use the night to rest and regain strength to fight the next day. Tell your sister to act when the enemy is resting at night," Luo Zheng instructed.
"Understood, after a tiring day, once they fall asleep at night, their bodies will completely relax and won't want to move. Their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. It's the best ti to attack," Lan Xing replied joyfully.
"That's the logic. Contact promptly if there's anything," Luo Zheng agreed, seeing Lan Xing understood his intentions.
After the call ended, Luo Zheng looked at Ghost Hand and continued, "The enemy has deployed, and at this ti, the surrounding patrols are the most careless. Let's go, maneuver up and take a detour, so as not to cause any complications."
"Alright." Ghost Hand agreed wholeheartedly, willing to detour as far as needed to rescue Yu Xin imdiately.
The two quickly packed up, retreated from the Mountain Ridge, and concealed themselves using the surrounding terrain, maneuvering southward towards the valley. They moved quickly, like leopards hunting in the night, silently approaching their target.
Half an hour later, the two detoured behind a southern hillside, quickly lurking still, calmly observing the situation. They saw the enemy's final troops had set out. Five thousand soldiers couldn't be mobilized all at once; it took ti unless they rushed chaotically.
With Hariri's military acun and caution, he would surely arrange a battle sequence: who leads, who handles the flanks, who guards the rear, etc. It all required ti. Luo Zheng raised the sniper scope and observed, confirming no more troops were moving and quickly scanned the open area ahead.
The open area was covered with nurous tents, brightly lit inside. Many wounded soldiers lay in tents and outside as well. People moved around, so nursing the wounded, others actively accelerating their recovery. Not seeing the person he was looking for, Luo Zheng's face turned stern as he carefully examined every detail.
Soon, Luo Zheng noticed a larger tent surrounded by ard personnel. They were heavily ard and did not allow others near. Inside, shadowy figures moved. Luo Zheng was shocked and observed closely. Shortly, he saw an elderly man in his sixties erge from the tent, remove his mask, wearing a white coat, near-sighted glasses, and wipe sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Seeing this, Luo Zheng was overjoyed. Just as he was about to hand the sniper scope to Ghost Hand, a female doctor wearing a white coat also stepped out and conversed quietly with the elder. She was Ghost Hand's fiancée, which brought him great joy. He quickly passed the sniper scope to Ghost Hand and whispered, "Three o'clock direction, about two thousand three hundred ters away, quickly confirm the target."
"Uh?" Ghost Hand exclaid with surprise, taking the sniper scope and observing the target identified by Luo Zheng. He imdiately beca overjoyed and excitedly said, "Target confird, no mistake. That elder must be Dr. Zhong Hai, Yu Xin's ntor. We must rescue them too. What do we do next?"
"It's over two thousand ters from here. The terrain is flat hills without tree coverage, unsuitable for a direct attack. We can cautiously penetrate about a thousand ters, then crawl the rest of the way. Once there, we'll play it by ear," Luo Zheng said helplessly.
The flat hills were unobstructed, making a direct charge too risky and susceptible to exposure. The two crouched low and quickly ran forward using hands and feet. After a short distance, they found a safe spot to conceal themselves. After careful observation, they utilized the surrounding terrain to advance stealthily, ensuring not to be discovered.
In the darkness, they moved like leopards, silently creeping forward—swift and agile, using terrain concealnt. Several rapid leaps brought them over a thousand ters forward, where they hid in a shrubbery. Luo Zheng calmly observed the front, as the valley gradually regained tranquility, unnoticed by anyone. But the patrol density had increased, making it difficult to infiltrate quietly.
The surrounding area was silent. Previously chirping insects were frightened and ceased their noise. The moon gradually erged from the clouds, brightening the ground and improving visibility, which was adverse for both of them. Luo Zheng checked his watch; it was around ten o'clock, and whispered, "Wait a mont, keep observing."
"Understood," Ghost Hand answered softly. At this point, he beca calm, his cold eyes intent on the front valley as if searching for his fiancée, his expression steely, lips tight like a blade, his formidable killing intent subdued, making him seem one with the surrounding shrubs and hard to spot unless closer.
With Luo Zheng and Ghost Hand's concealnt skills, aided by nightti and their camouflage suits, infiltrating the valley guarded by tribal ard forces wasn't difficult. Throughout the journey, there hadn't been a single sentry post. Though there were many patrols, within five hundred ters of the valley, their vigilance appeared lacking.
After observing for a while, Luo Zheng gestured, and the two crawled forward using the terrain. Their eyes sharp as cold stars from the distant sky, hands and feet moving like a giant python, slowly approaching. The further forward they went, the greater the risks of exposure; neither dared make a mistake.
Crawling about three hundred ters, Luo Zheng suddenly noticed Ghost Hand stopping ten ters ahead. Moving one behind the other ensured safety. Luo Zheng beca suspicious, seeing Ghost Hand signaling danger, causing his expression to turn icy as he promptly set up the sniper rifle to observe.
