YM778.TV 194 Chapter 138
At noon, in the human camp.
The newly arrived reinforcements gathered once again after a few hours of ample rest. Under the lead of a few battalion commanders, they arrived at the entrance to the forest on the left.
Zheng Xinglong and the others were also ready and were about to set off.
Before leaving, he specially met with First Lieutenant Lin who had stayed behind to explain some matters.
“Brother Lin, we will leave you 132 soldiers this time. It should be enough for you to defend, right?”
Zheng Xinglong asked with a smile.
In response, first lieutenant Lin also replied, “Of course, not only is it enough, but we can also guard this place tightly. We can guarantee that not a single rat will sneak into our camp.”
“Hearing what you said, I am relieved. Also, please be careful of the Wolf Pack. I have a feeling that they will take advantage of this to attack.”
Lieutenant Lin patted his chest and said seriously, “Brother Zheng, don’t worry. With three infantry chariots joining the defense, I don’t believe that I won’t be able to defeat a few D rank mutated creatures.”
“Okay, as long as you know what you’re doing.”
“Okay. I wish you a safe journey and complete your mission perfectly. I’ll wait for you at the camp.”
After the two of them bade each other farewell, Zheng Xinglong turned around and left. The team of nearly a thousand people began to move, rushing towards the direction of the Giant Snow Ridge Spruce.
Compared to the team configuration of the first trip, this time, it could be said to be much more ample.
Not only were there rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and other large amounts of thermal weapons present, but the number of people had also increased by quite a bit.
At the same time, the formation had also changed. With two small teams guarding the side of the main force, there was no need to worry about the attack problem.
Zheng Xinglong was still in charge of this attack, while lieutenant colonel Liu from Zhuzhou was assisting and instructing from the side.
Although Lieutenant Colonel Liu and the others were one or two ranks higher than Zheng Xinglong, according to the requirements of the higher-ups, they still had to obey the other party’s commands.
On the way, Lieutenant Colonel Liu did not forget to joke around, trying to ease the overly tense atmosphere.
“Captain Zheng, if there are only two D grade raptors, I think we can easily take care of them with our firearms.”
Zheng Xinglong did not answer directly. Instead, he thought for a while before saying, “If that’s the case, the other party is definitely not our match. However, I’m afraid that something unexpected might happen.”
Lieutenant Colonel Liu asked with some doubt, “Something unexpected?”
“Yes, I mentioned in the previous meeting that due to some reason, the wolf pack gave up the giant snow ridge spruce, and two raptors took the opportunity to temporarily stay here.”
“That’s indeed the case. Captain Zheng, are you saying that it’s possible that the giant wolves would attack and obstruct our team during our attack?”
Zheng Xinglong nodded and agreed, “Yes, not only that, I think that the two raptors might call their companions over to protect the giant tree and the mutated fruit together.”
After the other party’s explanation, lieutenant colonel Liu seemed to have understood a lot.
“Well, according to captain Zheng’s words, it seems that this battle is not easy to win.”
“I will try my best to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.”
Faced with such an answer, Zheng Xinglong said seriously.
“Don’t worry, don’t feel too much pressure. I will also guide you.”Lieutenant Colonel Liu continued to comfort him.
Soon, he opened a new topic to divert Zheng Xinglong’s attention.
“Speaking of which, is this the first time captain Zheng is leading such a large team?”
Zheng Xinglong did not plan to hide this. He directly replied, “Yes, I’ve only commanded 500 people in the past.”
“Not bad, you’re really young and promising. Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side to assist you with the operation of several thousand people this time.”
“Yes.”
...
In a certain bush near the giant snow ridge spruce.
Four pairs of cold wolf eyes were staring at the several birds of prey in front of them.
At the same time, they also pricked up their ears and listened to the sounds around them.
Just as Zheng Xinglong had expected, the golden eagle and the grassland eagle had indeed summoned many of their own kind in two days’time.
Not only did this include their original species, but there were also goshawks, falcons, Red Falcons, and many other types of birds of prey.
It was unknown what methods these two had used to gather so many helpers.
Even if it was close to a thousand human soldiers, they would have to pay quite a price to take them down.
Su Ming calmly looked up and counted the number of birds of prey that had appeared.
Among them, there were six golden eagles, seven grassland eagles, six goshawks, eight hunting falcons, and seven Red Falcons. There were a total of 34 birds of prey.
Although the size of these new birds of prey was not enough to compare to the two elite creatures, they still had a body length of nearly four meters and a wingspan of seven meters.
They guarded the location of the giant snow ridge spruce closely. Once ordinary creatures got close, they would become their food.
Even the four wolves of Su Ming would need to spend a lot of effort to kill their way in and take back the giant snow ridge spruce.
This was Su Ming’s plan. While the humans were fighting with the birds of prey, he and the wolves would split into two teams.
Su Hui and Ling were in the same team. They were in charge of hiding in the bushes. During the humans’attack phase, they would constantly launch sneak attacks to increase the pressure on the other party and delay the progress of the attack.
Su Ming and Su Yi were in the other team. They were in charge of destroying the firearms in the human base camp. One of the two wolves had the ability to hide in the shadows and could move quickly. The other wolf had the ability to increase its functionality by five times and could teleport at high speed, it was just right for this task.
