Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1665 1665: Hook's Ambition

The two brothers, who had shared life and death monts together, reunited once more. mories of the past flooded their minds, filling them with a sense of heroism. They instinctively opened their arms and embraced each other in the local custom, as if hugging an impending victory. They burst into hearty laughter, patting each other's backs and shoulders as a sign of respect. Hook's companions also smiled knowingly, exuding a strong confidence, as if the enemy on the doorstep was no longer a threat.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hook got straight to the point: "Old friend, what gift have you brought ? I can't wait to hear what you need to do. As usual, you're in charge."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Luo Zheng said with a grateful smile. Hook had handed over the command right away, a gesture full of imnse trust and support, carrying with it a significant responsibility and pressure. But for the sake of his friends and rescuing their brothers, Luo Zheng didn't hesitate, nor did he decline. He took the command without a mont's hesitation, his expression serious, pointing to a direction: "About ten kiloters that way is a valley, the enemy's main logistics base, with plenty of supplies and equipnt, guarded by about three hundred n."

"Is such a good thing possible?" Hook was overjoyed upon hearing this, chuckling eagerly. Without any doubt about Luo Zheng's information, he quickly asked, "Wonderful, I've brought the tribe's strongest force, a thousand n. That's enough to take them down. What's the plan?"

"Taking them down might not be certain, but we can definitely rout them and blow up the supplies. Three hundred regular soldiers are not easy to deal with, especially since they're guarding a lot of supplies, with endless weapons and ammunition. A frontal assault would cause too many casualties, which doesn't align with our style." Luo Zheng laughed.

"Right, I'll follow your lead." Hook, seeing that Luo Zheng was considering the casualty issue, felt a warmth in his heart. He said firmly, "We must eliminate this base. Once the enemy gets the news, they'll retreat, and our rear will be safe."

"Can your troops endure a three-hour forced march?" Luo Zheng asked worriedly.

"Everyone will be fine after hearing this good news, but if we rush over, our bodies won't be able to take it, and we won't be able to fight." Hook said gravely. Although the opportunity is golden, it must be seized with the capability. A forced march of three hours would leave the troops exhausted, and another forced march of an hour would leave them incapable of fighting without rest.

Luo Zheng also understood the issue. He thought for a mont and said, "Alright then, let's force march for half an hour, and rest on a hillside three kiloters away from the enemy. We've already reconnoitered the route, no problem."

"Alright, I'll follow your lead." Hook agreed enthusiastically, turning to his troops and excitedly relaying Luo Zheng's intelligence. Everyone bead with excitent as fatigue vanished, each as if injected with adrenaline, eager to charge forward.

Opportunities like this are rare, and it solves the tribe's urgent crisis. More importantly, the objective is a fat prize. If they can capture even half of the supplies and equipnt, it would be a greatly inspiring victory. The warriors were all pumped with enthusiasm, itching to move.

Seeing the morale ready, Luo Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. With an order, the troops rushed forward, while three brothers went ahead for reconnaissance, activating the signal device. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue moved with the main force, and reminisced with Hook about the battle in Japan, their blood boiling and fighting spirit more intense.

As the troops marched rapidly, Luo Zheng noticed that every mber of the Hook Tribe's ard forces was indeed of high caliber, all familiar with jungle marching. He was overjoyed and said, "Old friend, your troops have beco much stronger than before."

"Not at all. These are the most outstanding warriors selected from the entire army. The tribe now has five thousand ard personnel. I deliberately keep the number under control and don't dare to expand rashly. If needed, it's not a problem to increase by one or two thousand more. Five thousand are divided into five brigades, each with a thousand n. I lead one unit, while Xiong Bi, Bao Li, Lang Sen, and Viper each lead another. What do you think of this arrangent?" Hook humbly explained.

"As for the organizational structure, we can discuss it when we have ti later. Your current arrangent is fine for now, but won't work in the future. Especially as the troops grow, I'd recomnd you structure it like a regular army, starting with a na, say, sothing army? Then the specific number." Luo Zheng laughed.

"That's a national structure." Hook said in surprise, looking at Luo Zheng with growing curiosity.

"Don't you want to establish your own nation?" Luo Zheng asked in return.

"I do, but is the timing ripe now?" Hook, holding nothing back in front of Luo Zheng, replied candidly.

"Win this battle, and the timing will be right." Luo Zheng smiled.

"How so?" Hook asked excitedly, but seeing that Luo Zheng didn't wish to elaborate, he realized that discussing this now was indeed inappropriate. The forced march was pressing, so he suppressed his curiosity and followed Luo Zheng in a fast march forward, pondering the idea of nation-building, filled with ambition.

After half an hour, they reached a mountain ridge and hid in the dense forest. The Hook Tribe, having lived in this prival forest since childhood, knew how to conceal themselves. Without needing any instructions, each silently hid like a pack of wolves ready to strike, quietly checking their weapons.

Luo Zheng brought Hook to the high point on the ridge and pointed in a direction ahead: "Follow the gorge forward to the valley. The valley is broad and has already been transford by the enemy into a makeshift logistics base. I estimate that the forward command is also there. I've seen single soldier radar and electronic reconnaissance devices, as well as a ground mobile radar system built on an iron fra, at least five ters high."

"Hold on a mont." Hook interrupted Luo Zheng, saying seriously, "Old friend, I don't really understand what you're talking about. High-tech information warfare is completely foreign to us. Just tell how to fight, and we can talk about this knowledge later. Ti isn't on our side now."

"Very well." Luo Zheng replied with a helpless smile, raising his eyes to the sky. It was already dusk, the setting sun staining the western sky red, the afterglow gradually dimming. Luo Zheng looked at his watch, it was almost six, and it would be dark in at most an hour. He then said, "The troops will rest here for an hour. After that, we'll move up for a sneak attack, catching the enemy off guard."

"Alright." Hook readily agreed, instructing his officers in the local language to spread out and relay the orders. Hook continued, "A night raid is a good plan, but what's the specific strategy? Explain it to first, so I can rest with peace of mind. Should we prepare in advance?"
