Strongest Soldier King

Chapter 946: Warlord Retreat



Under the moonlight, a black shadow swiftly moved forward, like a ghost, silently arriving at a mountain ridge. It pounced to the ground, its cold gaze watching the convoy on the dirt road below. An expression of doubt crossed its resolute face. It was Luo Zheng. Siya Fa's warlords had stopped moving. Things were strange, and Luo Zheng felt uneasy, so he quietly came up to check.

On the dirt road, the trucks hadn't turned off their engines, but the lights were off. Armed personnel were on alert nearby, and there were still many inside the vehicles, all with their guns pointed out as if facing a great enemy. In the middle of the convoy, a group of people gathered together, seemingly discussing something. Luo Zheng raised his binoculars and found that most were Sam Country Special Forces, talking to someone who appeared to be a leader, looking somewhat excited.

Luo Zheng grew suspicious and continued to observe. Before long, he saw Sam Country Special Forces quickly run to a sloped area of the mountain ridge and hide. He was greatly astonished. Suddenly, the convoy on the dirt road lit up their headlights. The rear became the front, and they began to turn around and retreat.

"Huh?" Luo Zheng was greatly surprised. What's going on? Suddenly, a flash of understanding struck his mind, and he quickly retreated, finding Sarazi. He hurriedly asked, "Contact your team immediately and see if they are raiding Siya Fa's stronghold."

"Ah, okay." Sarazi immediately dialed the number. After some inquiries, his face lit up with surprise and delight, and he nodded to Luo Zheng, "They are attacking. There's hardly anyone at Siya Fa's stronghold. The attack is going smoothly. It should be taken within ten minutes at most."

"I see why Siya Fa's warlord troops began to retreat," Luo Zheng commented.

"Retreat?" Gai Wafu was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed with wild joy, "Great, let's charge up and hit them hard. It's a rare opportunity, and I must avenge our fallen brothers."

"Pursue?" Luo Zheng suddenly recalled the scenario where Sam Country Special Forces were hiding behind the slope. If the team charged up to pursue, they might not find this special forces unit, letting them slip away into the night. He couldn't help but shiver, secretly glad he had gone out to recce.

"Yes, pursue." Gai Wafu repeated excitedly.

"If you want to pursue, go ahead. I won't stop you. But I would prefer if you stayed to help me," Luo Zheng said seriously, his cold gaze fixed on Gai Wafu with a hint of expectation. This Sam Country Special Forces unit was extremely powerful, and being unfamiliar with the terrain, having Gai Wafu's help would increase the odds of success.

"Help? What do you mean?" Gai Wafu looked at Luo Zheng in surprise, and Sarazi also glanced over.

"The Sam Country Special Forces have something I need. We must get it. They haven't retreated but are hiding behind a slope. If we pursue Siya Fa's troops, they'll seize the opportunity to slip away. I need your help," Luo Zheng explained truthfully and earnestly.

"Sam Country Special Forces?" Gai Wafu hesitated, then angrily said, "No problem. These bastards wiped out a lot of our heavy firepower, causing the failure of our previous ambush, with heavy losses. I'll settle the score with them. Just tell me how to fight."

Luo Zheng looked towards Sarazi, who nodded without hesitation, indicating support. Luo Zheng completely relaxed and said, "They're hiding inside the slope. If I hadn't gone to scout, we'd never have discovered it. They wouldn't have imagined they've been exposed. We'll secretly deploy our team, leave the wounded behind, encircle them on three sides, then launch a sudden assault to capture them all."

"All right, let's do it." Sarazi and Gai Wafu readily agreed, picking up the walkie-talkie to begin deploying the operation. This battle had caused them heavy losses. How could they swallow such a grievance? They were bloodthirsty for revenge for their fallen subordinates, ready to risk everything.

The orders were quickly given, and after a few minutes of preparation, the team secretly moved towards the designated direction. Luo Zheng led the way, advancing with Sarazi and Gai Wafu. They encountered no resistance along the way. Clearly, Siya Fa's troops, who had pursued over hills and dales, had also retreated. With their stronghold under attack, no one could remain calm, let alone warlords who prioritized profit, who would naturally not lose everything for Sam Country.

A few minutes later, everyone arrived close to the slope. Luo Zheng made a gesture, and the people behind him quickly hid. Luo Zheng picked up binoculars and observed through the thermal imaging instrument, locating the Sam Country special forces hidden in the dark. These guys were cleverly concealed, with stones covering them and the moonlight not reaching them, making them difficult to find.

As long as the enemies were present, things would go smoothly. Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, a cold smile appearing on his stern face. He immediately spoke in Huaxia language through his earpiece, "Brothers, this battle is critical, but don't risk it. Ensure your safety. If some fish slip through the net, that's fine. We can pursue them later."

"Understood." Everyone knew Luo Zheng's concerns. After all, the enemy was a globally renowned special forces unit with strong combat capability. Direct confrontation was not wise. A surprise attack followed by a strategic retreat and then pursuit was the way to go.

Lan Xue said, "It's best to surround them, engage from a distance, and not rush down. Let's see how long they can hold out. We're on the high ground, which gives us an advantage."

"Exactly, we'll fight just like that," Luo Zheng agreed, making a hand gesture to those behind him. Soon, Sarazi and Gai Wafu crept up, lying down beside him, watching the small valley behind the slope with wary and fierce eyes, full of murderous intent.

"Surround and attack the small valley behind the slope from above. Minimize casualties as much as possible. As soon as people get up there, use grenades. The explosion of the grenades will provide light and help the shooters see the enemies in the shadows, so they can target them and attack," Luo Zheng coldly directed.

Sarazi and Gai Wafu immediately gave low-key instructions through the walkie-talkie, and the team quickly moved up. They ignored exposure, as securing the high ground was the priority at this point.

"Whizz." Suddenly, a gunshot sounded from the slope.

Luo Zheng was shocked. He raised his binoculars to see a Sam Country special forces soldier. It must have been a sentry, not spotted earlier. He cursed but then shouted, "Ignore him, it's just one person, a sentry. Charge forward, take the high ground, and hit them hard for me."

The order was quickly passed down. Upon hearing it was just a sentry, one person only, everyone's courage surged, and they charged forward with loud shouts. Ghost Hand, Mountain Eagle, and Lan Xue, leading their teams, flanked and moved to the high ground, charging fiercely towards the slope. Upon seeing people beneath starting to charge up, Lan Xue's face turned cold, and he shouted, "Open fire."
