Chapter 416: Chapter 199: Essential Steps Before Battle

Chewing gum probably won’t be of much use.

No sooner had Wang Jixuan arrived at the military fortress on the frontier than he was called to a war conference.

The Black Shell Instructor, who had been waiting for a long time, didn’t give him a moment alone with Lingtong, impatiently bringing out a pile of operational plans.

There were seven or eight backup plans alone.

The closest Wang Jixuan and Lingtong came to each other was sitting across the conference table.

They exchanged glances, with Master Wang trying his best to exhibit his gentleness;

Lingtong blinked, a faint smile appearing on her pale face before she lowered her head, immersing herself in combat mode.

After all, she was a professional warrior, utterly focused during the military conference.

Daoist:...

Alright then, let’s take care of business first.

The Black Shell Instructor was to be Wang Jixuan’s ’Second Generation’ partner in the upcoming strike and was the overall commander on the frontline.

Wang Jixuan’s, the Peak Maids’, and the Black Shell’s follow-up surprise attacks belonged to a top-secret military operation, not to be mentioned to anyone at present.

Their plan had three layers.

Outer layer: Ordered to replicate the last battle against the King-level Blade Beast, the Half-human Mecha Team aimed to inflict heavy casualties on the Blade Beasts before the four King-level Blade Beast Groups could complete their rally at the northeast front.

Middle layer: As the Half-human Mecha Team led the human army in a frontal assault, the Buddhist Temple Team would encircle from behind targeting the Beast Speaker.

Inner layer: If the first two layers progressed very smoothly, Wang Jixuan, the Black Shell, Mu Dan, and others would seek out and target the King-level Preacher for a fatal strike.

Each layer of the plan was more difficult than the last.

Especially since they couldn’t fully anticipate what might happen next in the complex underground tunnels of the Blade Beasts, where formidable and tenacious enemies could lie in ambush.

There were many unknown factors;

And that was the risk that came with taking the initiative.

The first combat meeting lasted two hours; the Half-human Mecha Team left, hurrying to their respective mecha for unified maintenance and inspection.

Wang Jixuan stayed behind to continue with the meeting, leaving only the Black Shell Instructor and Mu Dan in the room.

The Black Shell Instructor sighed, "I really don’t understand why the Commander agreed to let you participate in such a dangerous operation plan."

"It’s not too bad; it’s not like we don’t have confidence in our success, and risks can never be completely avoided."

Wang Jixuan shrugged his shoulders, calmly replying:

"Our group three will be flexible, right. If everything goes smoothly for them, then we’ll aim for the King-level Preacher.

"If they run into trouble, like the Buddhist Temple Team being trapped, then we’ll take action against the Beast Speaker.

"Anyway, the Beast Speaker must die; that’s the price he must pay for directly threatening us."

"Hmm..."

The Black Shell Instructor crossed his arms in thought.

He intended to urge Mr. Wang to prioritize his own safety and not to rush into the fray.

But then the Black Shell Instructor thought of Wang Jixuan’s miraculous abilities and somehow felt...

Quite reassured acting alongside Mr. Wang.

The Black Shell Instructor continued:

"This operation will involve one Horror Mecha, one backup Horror Mecha, forty-two Half-human Mechas, and their corresponding support mecha. With Lingtong’s Sword Array team as the core, we aim to catch the Blade Beast Army off-guard before they fully regroup, throwing them into chaos...

"One old, three new, four King-level Blade Beast Groups will rally here, it seems the Blade Beasts aim to directly attack our General Command Center from here.

"Therefore, the actual significance of the outer layer task is the greatest; our role is more of an additional task."

"So we don’t have to force it if it can’t be completed," Wang Jixuan asked with a smile, "Is that what the instructor is trying to say?"

"Pretty much."

The Black Shell Instructor stated seriously:

"If we must force it, remember, we have these old bones here; let us go first.

"This isn’t just sentimental talk before the battle, I am very serious about this!

"You saved us, and for every Blade Beast we kill, at least half the credit should go to you, you are of extraordinary significance to human civilization."

Wang Jixuan rubbed his forehead: "Okay, now the pressure’s really on."

"Uh, I didn’t mean to deliberately add pressure... "

"Just kidding."

Mu Dan, sitting to the side, made a gesture, immediately saying: "The Buddhist Temple Team has also reached their position, and their projections have joined the conference room."

"Good," the Black Shell Instructor adjusted his expression from the previous relaxation, switching in a second to the stern face of an instructor, emanating a strong aura.

The second war conference continued.

The action was set to begin in three hours.

...

Fortress No. 76, level seven.

Shen Qionglin, her hands tucked in the pockets of her white lab coat, watched the busy figures in Uncle Tai’s workshop.

Now, she was the guardian of this place.

Fortress No. 76 no longer had many high-value targets; the only things of value were herself and the highly classified, top-secret No.4 Stone Plate wall that nobody knew about.

Red Snake was on the way to the northeast frontline and had deliberately revealed his tracks.

The primary purposes of exposing Red Snake’s whereabouts were two-fold:

First, to draw the attention of the Blade Beasts and the Spiritual Ability Users of the Beast God Sect.

The Blade Beasts had already started targeting Red Snake, labeling him a ’traitor.’

Second, to smoke-screen and confuse the Blade Beasts.

Considering Red Snake’s speed of transport, the earliest arrival at the frontline would be in three days—

—this time, he was traveling by land vehicle.

And Shen Qionglin, who had accidentally overheard the news, knew that the humans’ sneak attack on the Blade Beasts would happen within the next ten hours.

’They’re planning to ambush the Blade Beasts.’

Shen Qionglin walked over to the sofa, her small form sinking into the embrace of the old couch, pondering for a moment.
