Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1673 1673: Missile Strike Again

As soon as the words were spoken, Luo Zheng heard the faint roar of rotor blades coming from the night sky, with flickering red lights. The distance was too far to discern whether it was an ard helicopter or a fighter jet. His face changed drastically, and he stared intensely into the depths of the night sky, which was pitch black except for the cold stars emitting a faint glow. It looked incredibly bleak and frozen; unable to see the shadow of the enemy aircraft, he urgently shouted, "Everyone disperse and take cover, organize anti-air defenses imdiately."

Hook also realized that sothing was wrong and imdiately began instructing the troops via walkie-talkie, continuously relaying orders. The ones carrying RPGs quickly assembled, each silent and stern-faced, accompanied by those carrying rockets. They soon ford a phalanx, eyes coldly fixed on Hook, awaiting orders.

"How do we fight?" Hook asked, looking at Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng glanced at everyone, over a hundred people carrying RPGs, and was overjoyed; he quickly said, "Imdiately seize the high ground on the slope, ten people per row, spaced three ters apart, forming a total of ten rows, with five ters in between to form a phalanx. Be swift in your actions." He looked at Hook, knowing that due to language barriers, the orders must be communicated through Hook.

Fortunately, Hook understood and knew he wasn't adept at tactical command, so he unhesitatingly relayed Luo Zheng's orders. Everyone imdiately sprang into action, while others quickly hid behind large trees in the mountainside, vigilantly watching the night sky and becoming tense upon discovering two ard helicopters appear.

Ard helicopters are the nesis of infantry: below the helicopter lies bulletproof steel plates, resistant to bullets; the cockpit's defense is robust. Only close-range shots with armor-piercing bullets from large-caliber sniper rifles can penetrate it, and with helicopters moving swiftly, it's hard to hit them. Once exposed, there's no choice but to endure enemy fire.

Luo Zheng glanced at the Type 88 sniper rifle in his hand, abandoning any intention to attack the helicopters. He found a place to hide, coldly watching the helicopters approaching with a roar in the night sky. The sound felt like Death God sneering, shocking him, and they neared rapidly.

Soon, Luo Zheng noticed the ard helicopters darting toward the combat direction, hovering above before one helicopter floated in the void while the other descended, dropping two ropes. The helicopter's flight altitude almost matched the treetops. Not long after, the helicopter ascended, and Luo Zheng saw two people hanging from the ropes below.

The two ard helicopters quickly turned around, left following their path, and soon vanished in the night sky. Luo Zheng, shocked and in disbelief at what he witnessed, realized that if only the ard helicopters shifted slightly towards his location, they could detect the large troops via thermal imaging sensors. Two helicopters alternating in covering attacks would certainly result in mutual destruction.

Could it be the enemy doesn't want mutual destruction? Or perhaps they didn't discover us? Luo Zheng, puzzled, looked at Lan Xue, noticing her solemn expression. He whispered, "Do you think we've been exposed?"

"I think the enemy aircraft did find us, but they chose to retreat, afraid of RPG attacks. Those two fleeing enemies were also picked up, and this seems quite unusual." Lan Xue replied solemnly.

"Not good." A sudden flash of insight struck Luo Zheng, his expression changed drastically, and he hastily shouted, "Hook, hurry, evacuate the troops imdiately; we've been exposed, enemy missiles may attack at any ti, retreat north to your valley."

"Retreat to the valley." Hook reacted swiftly, shouting via walkie-talkie. The troops quickly responded, erging from their hiding spots and bolting away in retreat, each person guessing what had occurred.

"Brothers, imdiately retreat northward, as we consider, carry the wounded." Luo Zheng shouted through his earpiece.

Hook also contacted the Guard via walkie-talkie, directing everyone to retreat north. The group dashed through the dense forest, like hungry wolves in the night, moving as fast as the wind, darting far away in a blink. About five minutes later, a massive explosion echoed from behind, lighting up the entire night sky.

The powerful explosion created a terrifying shockwave, blasting trees as if swept by a tornado. Trees near the blast were tossed into the air by the shockwave; even those slightly farther away bent as if bowing. Everyone felt the ground tremble uncontrollably, pausing to look back. They witnessed a massive red glow consud by the night sky, and the explosion zone quickly returned to dead silence.

"Hiss?" Luo Zheng's expression was grim as he looked toward the explosion's direction, intensity in his gaze. If it weren't for the dense woods here and the overlapping mountain ridges that absorbed the shockwave from the blast, they'd still be within the attack range and suffer severe losses. Luckily, this is prival forest.

"Good thing we retreated quickly." Hook's face changed, staring fixedly at the explosion's location, now enveloped by night, with the forest returned to silent calmness. Still fearful, Hook said with relief, "Brothers, we escaped one ti, two tis; we may not escape a third. We can't be at ease until we destroy the enemy missile launch base."

"Yes, we must destroy the enemy base." Luo Zheng replied solemnly, aggression surging in his eyes at the thought of destroying the base and seizing control of the missiles. Luo Zheng clenched his fist, continuing, "Brother, our people will arrive soon. We'll eliminate any enemies surrounding us, then attack the enemy base and seize the missiles for our own use."

"Alright, I'm listening to you." Hook replied, with a serious expression and warlike intent in his eyes. Thinking about the benefits of having missiles, Hook's determination grew even firr. He continued, "Once we control this batch of missiles, everything else will be easier. So tell , how shall we fight?"

"With these missiles, you can threaten neighboring countries, establish your own nation, and attack anyone who disagrees. Also, I need this batch of missiles to compel Sam Country to release captives; my brothers have been captured by them, so we share a common goal." Luo Zheng said earnestly to Hook, needing to address the rescue mission upfront to avoid Hook feeling used, which would be unfavorable.

"Your brothers were captured?" Hook inquired, surprised, looking at Luo Zheng.

"Yes, Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, nearly twenty brothers. You've t them." Luo Zheng explained.

"Them? No problem, listening to you; we're brothers, and they're my brothers too, our tribe's benefactors. What I said before stands: you command, and I'll follow. What are we going to do next?" Hook understood Luo Zheng's intentions, quickly agreeing.

"After the enemy missile attack, they'll remove satellite monitoring. We'll remain still, then retreat in a few minutes. Quickly contact your guards, have them converge imdiately, and other troops hide in place, no fires allowed." Luo Zheng advised gratefully, while contacting his brothers via earpiece, urging everyone to gather. Once thinking of capturing prisoners, excitent welled up in Luo Zheng: they endured nearly a hundred-man ambush; what unit could it be?
