Chapter 492: Chapter 340 - Just in Time (Second Update)_1

The head-on confrontation was bound to last an unforeseeable amount of time. Their primary concern now was to send their forces to approach from behind the enemy lines. But within such a jungle, surrounded by thorny perils and the presence of the enemy team, it would be a difficult endeavor for any ordinary person.

Their main strategy at the moment was to break through the enemy’s last line of defense. The moment the last line was breached, they wouldn’t have to worry about the defensive line before them.

The man speculated and estimated the enemy’s troops. He was certain that there weren’t many soldiers left at the enemy’s last barricade. Send a few men to breach from behind and... He chuckled coldly, confident that he could obliterate the opponent entirely.

A pincer attack. If successful, it would certainly cause a significant crisis.

"I will." Unexpectedly, someone volunteered.

The man raised an eyebrow at the young man raising his hand, who had just barely come of age. "Are you sure?" He needed a foolproof plan.

Of course, if they were to be sacrificed for this task, it would be a normal occurrence.

Since they had joined the army and followed this mission here, they had prepared themselves to face the possibility of sacrificing at any time.

It seemed the man was quite cold-hearted. In his heart, other than his own life, everyone else’s life was probably deemed insignificant.

The volunteer nodded, "My home is just outside the jungle. When I was a child, my brothers and I often came here to train our courage." A few times, they had nearly lost their lives here, almost ending up in the stomach of a beast. Thinking of it now still sent shivers down his spine.

One of them even lost an arm. Otherwise, he might be standing with him in this unit right now.

Because of this, him included, they became even more undaunted afterward, even hunting in the wilderness, in order to take revenge for their fallen brother. The specific area they were now in happened to be a place they frequently visited in the past, and he still had some memories of it.

He was indeed aware of a certain location that would allow them to easily maneuver behind the enemy, catching them completely off guard.

If they managed to complete the mission today, he was confident that, at the very least, he would be promoted from a lower-rank soldier. Maybe he could even achieve a higher rank. As long as this mission was accomplished, he could distinguish himself.

The prospect was too good to be true.

"Good!" Hearing the young man’s words, the man’s lips turned up slightly. He patted the young man’s shoulder lightly, appearing to show complete trust. "It’s all up to you now. If you complete this mission, I will certainly credit you for your contribution." Whether it was true or false, only he knew.

"Yes, sir!" The young man excitedly saluted.

The next moment, the man assembled a small team of about ten soldiers and appointed the young man as the leader. This team was tasked with breaking through the enemy’s rear, while the man and his remaining force would launch a fierce attack to attract the enemy’s main firepower.

As long as the enemy’s main firepower was distracted, they would not have the resources or the ability to pay attention to their rear. They absolutely could not let them reinforce the rear.

This sudden increase in firepower made Jing Chen furrow his brow instinctively. The enemy’s strategy seemed overly deliberate; it gave him the feeling they were planning something specific, or trying to prevent his side from taking some action.

In the next moment, Jing Chen ordered Wu Ya, "Tell Scout Eye not to focus only on providing us with cover, but also to pay attention to the rear. I fear they might stir up something else." referring to breaking through their rear lines.

This jungle was on the border between them and Y Country, but it was more within Y Country’s territory. This was because their border army, even while training, would make sure not to cross their border line to avoid any conflict. After all, their relationship with Y Country was a bit odd and this peculiar relationship would persist while they were dealing with internal issues.

As such, when it came to familiarity with the jungle, no one was more knowledgeable than the people of Y Country.

Especially... ordinary people; and soldiers were composed of these ordinary people.

However, he hadn’t heard that the enemy’s army had ever trained here. They probably had the same thoughts as him.
