Two days later in the morning, the sun was bright, the sky was a deep blue, cloudless, a gentle breeze blew, and the dense trees of the vast prival forest swayed lightly with the wind, making a rustling sound as if children were whispering sothing. On the treetops, countless birds were chirping joyously, monkeys ran up and down, leaping lively, bringing a touch of harmony and vitality to this mysterious and terrifying prival forest.
On a densely wooded mountain ridge, ancient trees stood tall with lush canopies, only a small amount of sunlight slipped through the gaps in the leaves, falling on the shady ground, creating dappled spots, like butterflies dancing, extrely beautiful. Two days after the rain, the air was particularly clear, the ground's fallen leaves washed clean by rainwater, looking much tidier. A fully ard unit concealed themselves in this grove to rest, each of them was full of spirit, eating dry food and wild fruit, occasionally conversing softly.
Under a large tree that three people could barely hug, the roots exposed above the ground appeared thick and sturdy, with a vast root system. Several people sat around the roots conversing, occasionally smiling knowingly. The leading figure's face was full of a masculine air, his distinct black and white eyes flickering with wisdom, his sword-like eyebrows lying horizontally with a hint of heroism. Beside him was a woman, donned in military uniform, looking spirited and heroic, it was none other than Luo Zheng and Lan Xue.
Sitting around them were Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, Mountain Eagle, Hook, as well as Wei Jian, Scholar, Farr, Monk, and Gardener. After successfully ambushing the host country's airport, they retreated overnight, sprinting all the way until they were exhausted, finally reaching this dense grove, where the team had rested well for two days, more or less recovering their strength.
In the past two days, Luo Zheng had kept in constant contact with the outside world, learning about the events that had unfolded. The ambush on the Sam Country base, the attack on the pursuing reinforcents supporting Shadow and others were all Luo Zheng's handiwork. Although he was not involved personally, he could guess so of the battle outcos, especially the fact that Shadow and others, disguised as enemies, infiltrated the camp and managed to successfully kidnap, capturing more than fifty advanced military officers. Those were all high-ranking officers, bearing significant political influence.
The situation was completely turned around in Hook's favor, who beca very excited. Losing the valley didn't matter much after successfully ambushing the host country's military airport and the Sam Country's military base, and capturing so many people, they even brought back a fleet of ard helicopters. This was definitely a historic victory, and this result satisfied Hook greatly, increasing his respect for Luo Zheng unconsciously.
Hook's prestige would undoubtedly rise to a whole new level as news of this battle spread quickly. Luo Zheng speculated that more tribes and other organizations around would approach them, soon enlarging and strengthening them, making Hook very happy, as well as himself. After this battle, the Sam Country was bound to quiet down, and as long as Hook was given enough ti to develop and grow strong, counterattack wouldn't be an issue, nor would his own mission be.
Thinking about this, Luo Zheng suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Brothers, here it's about fifty kiloters straight from the Hook Tribe Valley. Situated between the valley and the Sam Country base, it's a road the enemy must pass for transport. Let's hide here for an ambush and raid their convoy."
"Good idea, but, won't we be spotted by Sam Country satellites here?" Hook said worriedly.
"No, the mountains here are steep, the terrain is complex, and the dense high trees greatly disrupt satellite detection waves. As long as we stay put, it's hard for the enemy to find us. Of course, it's not absolute. If we are discovered, it won't be a big issue, we can just retreat. Once the enemy runs out of supplies for a few days, they won't be able to hold up and will have to retreat," Luo Zheng analyzed.
"Is that so?" Hook wasn't very familiar with radar detection, but seeing Luo Zheng so assured, he believed it a bit, thinking that even if they were discovered, it didn't matter. He nodded excitedly, saying, "That's good, we'll hold out here and wait for them to deliver supplies and equipnt, acting at leisure and saving trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Xing's excited voice ca through the earpiece: "Brother-in-law, brothers, thirteen transport aircraft just dropped from the Sam Country base, with two heading towards the Hook Tribe Valley, expected to pass your position in about five minutes. The deal is at the door, act quickly, or they'll get away."
"The deal is here, Wei Jian, it's yours," Luo Zheng said excitedly to Wei Jian without getting up. It's only two enemy transport aircraft, there's no need for everyone to take action, just arrange two Red Banner Six to take them down, no need to mobilize everyone.
"Understood, brothers, just watch," Wei Jian readily agreed, leading two brothers to rush to the high ground.
Everyone chatted and waited, and after five minutes, indeed they saw two transport aircraft flying over at about 4,500 ters altitude, the roaring sound heard from afar. Without escorting ard helicopters, Luo Zheng didn't expect the enemy to be so bold, wasn't this a big, fat target delivered to the door? He couldn't help laughing, saying, "Wei Jian, good deal here, don't miss it, or it wouldn't do justice to our enemy."
"Don't worry, a cooked duck can't fly without wings," Wei Jian's confident voice sounded in the earpiece.
Soon, two transport helicopters ca whistling by, about to pass overhead, when suddenly, two missiles rushed out of the dense forest, roaring directly at the transport aircraft. The terrifying sonic boom was overwhelming, with astonishing speed. The two transport helicopters detected being locked on and quickly maneuvered to evade.
But the missiles chased them persistently as if they had eyes, and boom! One transport helicopter was directly blasted in the void, bursting into a huge fireball, extrely dazzling. The aircraft wreckage instantly disintegrated into fragnts, flying all over the sky, making a woeful sound in the void, crashing towards the ground.
"Boom!" Another huge explosion sounded, and the other helicopter was also turned into a fireball, flas splattering in all directions, countless debris flying everywhere, many materials on the plane also fell down, hard to discern with the naked eye due to the distance, but it caught Luo Zheng's attention.
"What are they transporting?" Luo Zheng asked suspiciously.
"Hard to say, want my people to go check?" Hook suggested excitedly.
"Sure, go ahead, bring back everything usable, aren't we poor?" Luo Zheng laughed.
"Right, we're poor, the enemy is too rich, wouldn't it be a sha not to take what they deliver?" Hook said cheerfully, turning around and shouting a few words in the local language. Hook's ard personnel burst into excited yelps, rushing towards where the helicopter debris had fallen.
"Looks like we'll make a small fortune again," Luo Zheng said with a laugh.
"Thanks to you, this battle was satisfying. If the enemy sends more over, we'll be much better off, but the enemy in the valley might not fare so well," Hook also said excitedly with a laugh.
"Never underestimate the enemy's transport capability, the base can quickly replenish all sorts of materials, equipnt, even manpower. After the transport helicopters are bombed, they'll consider using other large transport aircraft for airdrops, flying too high for us to deal with, this opportunity might be the only one," Luo Zheng said pensively.
"Do you have a new plan?" Hook asked curiously.
