Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 448: Infiltrating Great Chu

Ling Chen was somewhat surprised.

The Eleventh Squad had only been established for a few days, yet Zi Tiange already entrusted them with a mission. Wasn’t that a bit too confident?

"Please speak clearly, General."

Captain Li Changhe of the First Squad spoke up.

As a veteran soldier, he naturally knew that in the military, missions can only be accepted without room for negotiation.

"It’s like this."

Zi Tiange said, "According to intelligence, the Chu Army’s logistics are soon to transport a batch of supplies to the camp. Therefore, your two squads will carry out a joint operation. Infiltrate Great Chu, raid and eliminate this logistics unit, take as much of the supplies as possible, and destroy everything that cannot be taken. After you succeed, withdraw immediately."

"Yes, when do we move? Where is the raid to take place?"

Li Changhe asked.

"In two days, the location should be in Yanling. The exact place, you’ll have to find it yourselves."

Zi Tiange said.

"Good!"

Li Changhe nodded.

Seeing Ling Chen remain silent, Zi Tiange turned to Ling Chen and said, "Captain Ling, do you have any questions?"

"Yes!"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Inside the Chu Army, there should also be cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm. The supplies they need are nothing more than Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and such. These kinds of things can be completely stored in storage rings and transported over. How do we differentiate between supply transport troops and regular troops?"

Zi Tiange smiled and said, "Ling Chen, it seems you still don’t understand the military well enough! Indeed, the soldiers are all cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm, but after all, they are human! And being human, they have desires. They might endure for a short while, but over time, they definitely won’t be able to."

"This place is inherently a land of bitter cold and hardship, where life is difficult, and there is always the danger of battle breaking out at any moment. All cultivators can’t possibly maintain themselves just by cultivation alone."

"Moreover, many cultivators who join the army are not highly talented. For them, even with cultivation, the improvement in their cultivation base is very slow."

"So, delicacies and fine wines are indispensable. A batch gets transported every once in a while."

"The same is true for our Great Xia!"

"Additionally, sometimes it’s not just supplies being transported, but also beauties. Even some Divine Thought Masters need a dedicated team for escort."

"So, there’s absolutely no need to worry about how to differentiate."

Zi Tiange explained.

This made Ling Chen understand.

Seeing Ling Chen’s realization, Zi Tiange continued, "Captain Ling, command of this operation will be under Captain Li. Your Eleventh Squad is merely following them for some experience, so take the opportunity to ask Captain Li for his guidance."

"Understood."

Ling Chen said.

"Alright, go prepare yourselves. The necessary supplies will be sent to you. Remember, two days from now at midnight, start the operation punctually."

Zi Tiange said.

"Yes."

Li Changhe and Ling Chen answered immediately.

After leaving the General’s tent, Ling Chen gathered his squad members, instructing them to rest well these two days as there was important action to participate in.

He did not disclose the specific content of the operation.

This was customary.

Afraid that news might leak.

Putting them in danger.

Their cultivation was high, and if they died in Great Chu, it would undoubtedly be a significant blow to Great Xia.

Two days later.

At midnight.

The First and Eleventh Squads assembled.

Taking advantage of the night, the two teams stealthily made their way toward Yanling in the Great Chu Dynasty.

To carry out this mission, first they had to infiltrate Great Chu.

Both nations’ borders were regularly patrolled by squads of soldiers.

Luckily, all present were experts, and their skills in concealing their presence were excellent.

They entered Great Chu territory without incident.

Of course, they could also kill the patrolling soldiers.

But that would easily arouse the suspicions of the Chu Army.

Thus, the best method was to infiltrate unnoticed, like ghosts.

A day later.

A group of twenty finally arrived at Yanling.

In order to avoid the inspection of the Great Chu Soldiers, they didn’t dare to move too quickly.

Inside a cave in Yanling, Captain Li opened his mouth and said, "According to the intelligence, the Great Chu’s transport team should pass through here in the next two days. However, Yanling is very large, we should send out people to find the exact route they will take."

"Indeed."

Ling Chen nodded.

"Captain Ling, your task is to assist us. Therefore, the majority of the responsibility for gathering information falls on you."

Li Changhe said.

"No problem, my Team Eleven will dispatch five people to scout for information."

Ling Chen replied.

"Good, my Team One will also send out two people. The rest should rest and conserve their strength."

Li Changhe said.

Following that, Ling Chen ordered six of his team members to go out.

Li Changhe also dispatched three of his team members.

To prevent the leakage of information, the communication tokens of all team members could only be used to communicate with their two captains.

"We also need to station someone outside to keep watch over this cave’s location."

Li Changhe arranged further: "One person from Team One will keep watch nearby."

"Agreed."

Ling Chen nodded, having Mu Yun go out to keep watch.

As for Yang Xiu, he was sent out to gather information.

"I will also take a look outside."

Ling Chen said to Li Changhe and then stepped out of the cave.

Li Changhe, curious, followed him out.

"Captain Ling, are you also a Spirit Array Master?"

Seeing Ling Chen setting up a Spirit Array at the cave entrance, Li Changhe said with a face full of surprise.

"Indeed."

Ling Chen nodded and smiled: "I am a Divine Thought Master. I have some understanding of Spirit Arrays!"

What he was setting up, of course, was an Illusion Spirit Array.

It could camouflage the cave entrance to blend in with the surrounding environment.

Then, Ling Chen went on to place several Early Warning Spirit Arrays around the area.

With these and the two nearby guards, they should have enough time to react to any danger.

"Captain Ling, from the way you’re setting up the Spirit Array, it doesn’t seem like you merely have a passing knowledge!"

Li Changhe said, full of pleasant surprise.

He had seen some Spirit Array Masters in the military camps setting up Arrays.

Ling Chen seemed no less competent in comparison.

"Not bad, I suppose."

Ling Chen replied with a modest smile.

"All set!"

After Ling Chen finished setting up all the Spirit Arrays, he returned inside the cave.

"Captain Li, when your team members come back, let me know, and I’ll guide them in."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"Sure, I appreciate it, Captain Ling!"

Li Changhe nodded.

"No problem."

Ling Chen shook his head.

What followed was everyone inside the cave focusing on their Cultivation, preparing to be in the best possible condition for the battle that might erupt soon.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

The team members tasked with gathering information had not found any news about the transport team.

Li Changhe and Ling Chen then dispatched a few team members to take over for them, taking turns to stand guard.

The team members needed to have some rest.

Otherwise, their ability to perform in battle would be compromised.

Another six hours passed.

Now it had come to noontime.

"We’ve spotted a team!"

A message arrived, suddenly invigorating everyone.

"Everyone but Yang Xiu, return immediately!"

Li Changhe ordered.

"Yes!"

The team members outside promptly followed the command.

"Yang Xiu, you continue to follow them and report their position at any time."

Li Changhe instructed Yang Xiu further.

Once the target was spotted, it was sufficient to have one person tail them. The others needed to hurry back, restore their Spiritual Power, adjust their condition, and prepare for combat.
