Chapter 1094: Chapter 1096: Ten Thousand Strong War (Part 5)
"You’re right, I could indeed lead the brothers away now, perhaps even never look back at the matters here. But what about those native soldiers of Clarni? What should they do?"
Lin Fei rubbed his face with his hand and said, "They follow
because they believe in . I can’t betray them, as I consider them my brothers. Once I find a way to defeat the Iron Army, I’ll leave directly."
Radar sighed, knowing it was hard to change Lin Fei’s decision, and Lin Fei wasn’t wrong either. "Boss, you’re not wrong, but this outco will only lead to more sacrifices. We can’t possibly defeat the thirty thousand troops of Iron Country. For us, it’s like an immovable boulder, and staying could an self-destruction."
"I’ve considered this issue, but I’ve already decided to help Clarni win this battle. Even though the opponent has thirty thousand soldiers, it doesn’t an they can’t be defeated. I’ve never been afraid of a strong enemy. Radar, you don’t need to persuade , and if you don’t want to participate, you don’t have to."
However, he knew that if Radar joined, it would be better. Radar’s intelligence network was extensive, sothing he couldn’t overlook. But if Radar didn’t want to join, he wouldn’t force him. This was not only true for Radar but also for anyone else. Everything was voluntary, and Lin Fei wouldn’t compel anyone.
"Boss, what do you an by that? After all these years, don’t you trust ? I’ve never been one to abandon my brothers in battle!" Radar said resolutely.
"Yes, boss, whether it’s thirty thousand or fifty thousand, winning is what matters. This ti, we’ll give them a battle where the few defeat the many!" Xue Zhi said.
Butcher boldly laughed, "Xue Zhi, you stole my words, but you’re right. Whether it’s one hundred thousand or eighty thousand, if they dare to oppose us, we’ll kill them all!"
Looking at his familiar brothers, Lin Fei felt great comfort in his heart.
A three-thousand-strong army marched towards the Des Basin. Behind them, another army of over five thousand, led by John Sonny, followed closely.
"Reporting to the General, we’ve spotted traces of the enemy." A soldier returned from afar to report.
"Are they heading towards the Des Basin?" John Sonny asked.
The soldier imdiately responded, "Yes! Based on the path and direction of the wheels, it’s indeed the closest route to the Des Basin from here."
John Sonny nodded and said, "Very well. Now everyone, be cautious. We’re heading to the Des Basin, and let’s hope nothing goes wrong on the way. Minesweepers, speed up!"
Soon, this troop disappeared from their original location.
The Des Basin, not too close yet not too far, was reached by Lin Fei and his army by noon the next day. Standing on the edge of the Des Basin and looking afar, the basin appeared like a large bowl, sunken towards the ground, with various stone pillars standing within, making the entire basin seem like a stone forest growing on the ground, complete with nurous small pits.
The basin had a vast area, with a diater of twenty kiloters. The naturally ford stone forest and artificially dug trenches from war tis remained in the basin. Lin Fei led his three thousand troops into the basin and quickly disappeared within, highlighting how naturally strategic this place was for both attack and defense.
Upon entering the Des Basin, Lin Fei’s three-thousand-strong team also discovered remnants of Clarni’s Self-Defense Army. Once they recognized the mightiest Self-Defense Army, they imdiately wanted to join. Lin Fei didn’t reject them but also didn’t trust them completely at first.
Led by these few, Lin Fei and his group arrived at an underground bunker, surprisingly built due to collapse from mining, astonishing Lin Fei with its existence.
According to the Self-Defense Army’s description, most of these understructures were modified from old mine shafts, making the conversion relatively straightforward.
The underground passages here, interlinking in all directions, were specifically built to ambush the enemy. Lin Fei and his group found a safe spot to start discussing their next move.
"Boss, I find this place unsafe," Radar remarked.
Lin Fei studied the map and nodded, "Indeed, but we’ve inford Xiaohu, and he should arrive soon. Within this short tifra, I don’t foresee any major issues." Lin Fei’s words were well-founded, having dispatched many patrols to detect any disturbances imdiately.
"But boss, we can’t afford to be careless," Radar insisted.
At this mont, the usually reticent Xue Zhi spoke up, "Boss, I believe Radar is right. I have an unsettling feeling, as if we’re in a big stewpot in here, waiting to be cooked."
Finding the reasoning amusing, Lin Fei laughed, "Xue Zhi, since when did you beco so superstitious? This is a basin, at most a bowl, not a pot. Besides, there are no enemies here."
Radar marked a circle on the map, enclosing the Des Basin, prompting Lin Fei to adopt a more serious tone, "Let’s get back on topic. Do you think this place is safe, and what strategies should we employ?"
The first to speak was Radar, who said, "I always rely on intelligence to speak. Without it, I dare not make definitive claims. But boss, there’s crucial intel we must heed. The commander of the thirty thousand strong Iron Army is one of Iron Country’s three main commanders, Hakens. You’re familiar with his capabilities, aren’t you?"
"Hakens?"
Lin Fei pondered seriously. When he was a rcenary, he closely monitored military exercises of every nation, especially major powers like Iron Country and Yan Country. With Radar’s intelligence network, he knew that in exercise scenarios, Hakens had repeatedly achieved victories against larger forces, earning one of the top three commander titles, despite being the last among them.
"Boss should rember this man, and there’s also soone else you’re more familiar with, John Sonny, the current General of Iron Country’s 204 army. We’ve faced him before; though we won, it was a bloody lesson," Radar remarked.
Upon hearing John Sonny’s na, Lin Fei recalled intercepting a war-torn nation once, facing the invading Iron Country General, John Sonny. Although victorious, it was one of the bloodiest victories the rcenary Group had experienced, making John Sonny’s na very familiar to Lin Fei.
