Chapter 503: Chapter 499: Exposed?

With the tireless overtime efforts of Fang Xiaocao and her team, the dozens of small and large outposts on the outskirts of the island were all uprooted within two hours.

Fang Xiaocao and Unhappy huddled in a recently cleared outpost, with Fang Xiaocao holding a terminal for communication, watching the war reports sent by Tom and the others.

[Tom: Princess Your Highness, all outposts, both visible and hidden, on my side have been removed without any survivors.]

[Taotie: Princess Your Highness, same here, wiped out all of Little Xiba.]

[Vermilion Bird: Same as above, no casualties.]

Seeing the report, Fang Xiaocao nodded with satisfaction, this was what she wanted.

[Fang Xiaocao: Well done.]

[Fang Xiaocao: Continue to follow the plan and tonight, in one go, eliminate all the Ragnarok mercenaries on the island.]

Fang Xiaocao issued the order to launch the general attack.

[Tom: Received!]

[Taotie: Received!]

[Vermilion Bird: Received!]

[Fang Xiaocao: Move out!]

Stowing away the terminal, Fang Xiaocao stretched her limbs, patted Unhappy beside her, and with a smile said, "Unhappy, let’s go to kill Little Xiba."

Unhappy nodded and grinned.

Fang Xiaocao leapt onto Unhappy’s back, once again treating him as her mount.

Unhappy carried Fang Xiaocao and sprinted toward the center of the island.

With no hidden or overt outposts, there was no need to be overly cautious.

Fang Xiaocao estimated that there were still about two hundred Ragnarok mercenaries left on the island.

The remaining Ragnarok mercenaries were considered elites, at least skilled, but whether they were second-rate or first-class, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t accurately predict.

After all, there are many differences between mercenary and assassin groups.

Assassin teams focus more on individual combat capabilities, placing great demands on the power of individual assassins. Generally, second-rate can only do odd jobs, serve as security, and those who can take on missions are at least first-class assassins.

Take Blacklist and Pawnshop for example.

Although Blacklist and Pawnshop are no longer purely assassin teams, they started as such and retain this trait.

So, their members’ combat power is relatively decent.

But the Ragnarok Mercenary Group, being a mercenary group, emphasizes team combat more.

They rely on tactics and team coordination, combined with the daredevil character and various weapons, to achieve strong combat power.

Comparatively, the requirement for individual combat strength isn’t as stringent.

This was all informed to Fang Xiaocao by Tom, and considering these differences, Fang Xiaocao estimated that there might not be many top-level masters in the Ragnarok Mercenary Group.

The two hundred or so mercenaries on the island were likely of second-rate and first-class strength.

If even a tenth could reach top-level master strength, it would be Fang Xiaocao overestimating them.

Overall, the threat wasn’t large.

At least, before being surrounded by organized squads of the Ragnarok Mercenary Group, unless confronted with weapons of mass destruction, they couldn’t threaten anyone on Fang Xiaocao’s side.

This was why Fang Xiaocao dared to attack the core of the Ragnarok Mercenary Group with just a handful of people.

If this island weren’t the headquarters of the Ragnarok Mercenary Group but that of Pawnshop or Blacklist, Fang Xiaocao definitely wouldn’t have brought only Tom and the others.

She would have chosen to mobilize the entire Phoenix Nest.

BOOM——

At this moment, a series of violent explosions came from the west, interrupting Fang Xiaocao’s thoughts.

Hearing the explosions, Fang Xiaocao was startled and immediately grabbed Unhappy’s ears.

Indicating Unhappy to stop immediately.

Unhappy felt the pain in his ears and obediently stopped, hiding with Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao looked towards the west; if she remembered correctly, that was the area Taotie was responsible for. The occurrence of a large explosion meant that Taotie had been exposed.

And the recent explosions were likely set off by the Ragnarok mercenaries to counter Taotie and alert the entire island.

Fang Xiaocao immediately took out her terminal, started editing a message to inquire about the situation, and made adjustments to the combat plan. In this case, they definitely needed to support Taotie; otherwise, it would be equivalent to abandoning Taotie.

[Fang Xiaocao: Taotie, what’s happening?]

Fang Xiaocao first sent a message to ask Taotie what had happened before starting to modify the plan.

[Fang Xiaocao: Everyone, focus immediately on moving towards Taotie’s direction to assist in eliminating the pursuing forces.]

[Tom: Received.]

[Vermilion Bird: Received!]

"Fool, just you wait."

Fang Xiaocao squatted on the spot, waiting for a while but didn’t see Taotie’s reply. However, the explosions and gunshots from the west continued raucously. Fang Xiaocao cursed inwardly and put away the terminal.

"Unhappy, hurry over there."

Fang Xiaocao climbed onto Unhappy’s back, pointing towards the direction of the intense gunfire, and commanded.

Speed had always been Fang Xiaocao’s weakness.

No matter how she trained, it couldn’t be significantly improved.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaocao had her mount.

Unhappy!

Unhappy ran very, very fast.

Soon, Unhappy carried Fang Xiaocao to a coconut grove, where most of the gunfire was concentrated in this grove.

Fang Xiaocao suspected that Taotie was likely entangled with the Ragnarok mercenaries in the grove.

"Unhappy, stop."

Fang Xiaocao commanded Unhappy.

Unhappy immediately complied and stopped.

"Let’s sneak in quietly; if they’re not one of us, kill them."

Fang Xiaocao softly ordered Unhappy.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s command, Unhappy was thrilled, showing a big smile.

"Go!"

Fang Xiaocao told Unhappy.

With that, she was the first to sneak into the coconut grove.

Unhappy didn’t run around; he remembered.

His duty was to protect Princess Your Highness.

In this coconut grove, danger lurked everywhere, with threatening vibes all around, Unhappy chose to stay close in protection of Princess Your Highness.

The coconut grove was vast, with the spacing between the coconut trees seemingly neither too wide nor too narrow, evidently man-made.

Fang Xiaocao thought, most likely planted by the Ragnarok Mercenary Group.

After all, considering the renovation scale on the island, the Ragnarok Mercenary Group had been entrenched on this island for a very long time.

Possibly even decades.

Planting coconut groves and other vegetation was normal.

Coconuts, after all, are a water source.

In case of storms, typhoons, or tsunamis.

If supply on the island were delayed, the fruits from these coconut trees could even become life-saving supplies.

Fang Xiaocao and Unhappy explored the coconut grove for a few minutes when, just as Fang Xiaocao was about to move forward, Unhappy suddenly held her down.

Startled, Fang Xiaocao was about to speak.

Then she heard footsteps nearby.
