Chapter 590: Chapter 579: Chaos Arises

Accompanied by Yuan Xiao’s explanation, the sand table kept changing with figurines and arrows indicating directions. After his manipulation, Wen Wen and the others nearly had the layout of Yueshan City at their fingertips.

Now Wen Wen somewhat understood why Yuan Xiao was selected as the chief commander for this operation.

His ability could cover the entire range of the city, clearly showing the distribution of superpower users and even allowing for war simulations.

From a warfare perspective, this ability was far superior to the surveillance points set up by the Sanctuary within the city.

After analyzing the situation clearly, Yuan Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Gentlemen, you understand what you need to, and next is the specific action plan."

"At noon tomorrow, Mr. Eightfold will lead you from the cliffside into Yueshan City. There are two Mid-Sequence Realm ’Slave Masters’ and a squad of ’Tiger Warriors’ on guard. You’re to take them down quietly and with ease, which shouldn’t be a problem."

"Once inside Yueshan City, we’ll split into two groups. One will be led by Mr. Eightfold and six Upper Sequence Hunters to create chaos in the West City District, disrupt enemy order, destroy their living forces, and prevent them from aiding the East City District."

"The other route will be led by two Upper Sequence Superpower Users, escorting the Association’s Demon Hunters to transport all hostages out of West City District as quickly as possible."

"Mr. Barrier Master, can you deploy another isolation barrier in the middle at noon tomorrow?"

The Barrier Master, who had been sitting in a corner, thought for a moment before saying, "Maintaining this huge barrier already requires a tremendous amount of energy. To abruptly set up another barrier between the East and West City Districts... I would need to prepare in advance and could maintain it for at most one hour."

Yuan Xiao nodded and said, "An hour will be enough. Gentlemen, please remember to ensure your own safety during the operation and only fully engage in battle after the hostages have been evacuated."

Qiao Feiya stepped forward and said, "Rescuing hostages in such a rush, the casualties won’t be small."

Yuan Xiao shook his head and said, "Not taking action now will result in even greater casualties. We can’t save everyone, plus I have prepared some heavy weaponry that will significantly enhance your chances of success."

...

After the meeting, Wen Wen walked out of the command center. He had participated in many Demon Hunting Operations, but most of the time as a lone wolf; such a scene was truly new to him.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Wen Wen, disguised, went to a mud house within the campsite. Under the guidance of a Demon Hunter capable of concealing qi, he traveled through an underground passage to a farm ten kilometers outside the camp.

This place was far enough from Yueshan City that the tiger-like creatures shouldn’t be able to sense them.

All the superpower users involved in tomorrow’s operation had arrived here by various means to gather, ensuring the surprise attack could catch those tiger-like creatures off-guard.

If they had acted within the campsite, they would have been one hundred percent noticed by those creatures, losing the element of surprise.

Upon arriving at the designated location, the group began to divide into teams. Wen Wen, Qiao Feiya, and six other Upper Sequence Superpower Users were all in the group that would attack West City District, with three-quarters of the Hunters in that team, and it was exclusively made up of Hunters.

West City District contained the majority of the elite of the tiger-like tribes. Superpower users below Assimilation would simply be marching to their deaths in such an environment, only battle-hardened Hunters could move freely under such circumstances.

’Metal Frenzy’ and ’Hand of the Earth’ led a quarter of the Hunters along with nearly a thousand Demon Hunters to enter East City District to rescue hostages. Their abilities were well-suited for dealing with large numbers of enemies and also ensured the safety of ordinary people.

After waiting for about ten hours, the sun gradually rose, and noon was approaching.

"Are you worried?" Qiao Feiya walked beside Wen Wen, standing shoulder to shoulder.

Wen Wen’s eyes shimmered as he shook his head and said, "No, I am excited... This battle will be a novel experience."

Qiao Feiya couldn’t muster a smile; she never feared battle, but she feared excessive casualties during combat.

The start of the battle was the most dangerous part. Each Hunter entering the East District would be plunged into tough combat, but once those hostages were rescued, the tide would turn.

In this war between the Association and the tiger-like tribes, looking solely at the numbers of elites, the Hunters Association held an absolute advantage.

Every Hunter was an experienced and powerful superpower user, while those tiger-like creatures were merely newly born monsters, lacking both battle experience and capability.

However, the sheer number of these creatures was overwhelming; Yueshan City had at least thirty thousand tiger-like creatures, even the lowest-ranking Slave could tear apart a Wild Beast like an Arctic bear.

The Hunters entering the East District would be swarmed by a multitude of monsters, enduring a grueling time as after all, even ants in great numbers could kill an elephant.

But once the hostages were rescued, the Association could freely execute methods to clear out the foot soldiers, substantially reducing the number of tiger-like creatures. Things like bombers, the Association had prepared more than just one or two...

The tall Eightfold stood up, closed his pocket watch, and waved to everyone, saying, "It’s time; let’s begin."

Under Eightfold’s leadership, Wen Wen and the others minimized their movements, ascending the mountain to the several dozen-meter-high cliffs bordering Yueshan City. There were also Giant Statue Soldiers guarding the area, preventing the old tigers from leaving via the cliffs.

The Supporters began tying iron chains around the feet of the Giant Statue Soldiers, which would soon be used by superpower users who couldn’t fly to climb down the steep cliffs.

However, what Wen Wen was most concerned about were Yuan Xiao and the several huge shipping containers behind him.

Yuan Xiao first opened a container, revealing a box full of plainly packaged perfume.

"This is a special concoction made by the Association’s research department, using the tiger-like creatures’ urine and feces. Once sprayed, unless you meet face-to-face, those creatures will not perceive you as enemies."

"The behavior patterns of these tiger-like creatures, though socialized, are ultimately influenced by the habits of feline animals. Therefore, we can strategically use disruption of their sense of smell."

Upon hearing it was made of feces and urine, everyone’s faces shifted, and Wen Wen even took two steps back, finding the substance somewhat terrifying.

"Can we skip spraying this stuff...?" Wen Wen asked weakly. It had always been him spraying excrements on others, and he didn’t expect to become a target himself someday.

Yuan Xiao seriously reassured, "Don’t be so headstrong, normal perfumes also contain fecal extracts, just think of it as applying perfume."

"No, I don’t believe it," Wen Wen stubbornly replied. He had actually read similar scientific books, but such matters could be disregarded if firmly disbelieved in one’s heart.
