CHAPTER 1027: CHAPTER 1027: ASSAULTING THE BOSS

After Xiao Zheng assigned Dugu Baitian’s task, he looked at Long Qie and Titan, "As for the Sky Net’s army, they will follow me and confront the Demon Shield Bureau head-on! Aren’t we going to use guerrilla tactics against the Demon Shield Bureau? This Ice and Snow Jungle is an ideal place for guerrilla warfare."

Dugu Baitian frowned and said, "Evil God, although I am on Futu’s side, I am not afraid of death. What do you mean by sending me to the Great River of America? Are you afraid that I won’t be of use?"

Although Dugu Baitian usually doesn’t like to talk, at this moment he couldn’t hold back his dissatisfaction with Xiao Zheng’s command.

Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and said, "Brother Dugu, you’re mistaken. I’m sending you there because I have a more critical mission for you. Your success or failure could be the key to our victory!"

"Oh, what is the mission?" Dugu Baitian asked with a frown.

"Do you remember the discussions we had in the secret chamber before our expedition?" Xiao Zheng smiled.

"I remember now." With Xiao Zheng’s reminder, Dugu Baitian knew what he needed to do. He looked deep into Xiao Zheng’s eyes and said, "I will do everything in my power to complete this mission."

Xiao Zheng patted Dugu Baitian on the shoulder, "In that case, you’d better set off quickly."

Dugu Baitian did not dilly-dally; he took his five thousand men and left, ready to cross the plains, detour a long way, and reach the upstream of the Great River of America in the southern part of this region.

Xiao Zheng then looked at the Ice and Snow Jungle ahead and said grimly, "The Demon Shield Bureau’s people are coming. We’re going in now. If we can kill, then kill; if not, then retreat. The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy, but our primary objective is self-preservation. While preserving ourselves, deal the maximum damage to the enemy!"

"Yes!" Long Qie and Titan quickly relayed Xiao Zheng’s orders.

Seeing that everyone understood his intentions, Xiao Zheng nodded and, with a thunderous roar, rushed into the Ice and Snow Jungle. Soon, he saw the endless rows of the Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical soldiers.

Xiao Zheng roared, holding the Mystical Sky Battle Sword, and sped up like a meteor crashing into the Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical army. Instantly, chaos ensued among the soldiers and horses, and Xiao Zheng wielded his battle sword, killing wildly.

These biochemical soldiers were ordinary warriors; even though they knew some joint combat methods, in front of a master like Xiao Zheng at the Martial Saint Level, they were as fragile as paper.

Quickly, Xiao Zheng broke through a bloody path, directly piercing the heart of the Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical soldiers.

Long Qie, Titan, and the others followed Xiao Zheng, fighting freely and fiercely.

For a moment, the Demon Shield Bureau’s army retreated step by step in this Ice and Snow Jungle, unable to stop the advance of the Sky Net army.

However, it wasn’t long before more and more of the Demon Shield Bureau’s army surrounded them, encircling the Sky Net army three layers deep inside and out.

Faced with Xiao Zheng, they scattered and fled, but against others, they charged like mad dogs.

In no time, facing such combat methods from the Demon Shield Bureau’s army, many of the Sky Net soldiers were killed, suffering heavy casualties.

Seeing this was not a solution, Xiao Zheng broke a towering ancient tree, swept it horizontally with both hands, and along the way, all the towering ancient trees were knocked down with a rumble to the ground. Most of the biochemical soldiers in this area were crushed and died after a brief wail.

A giant path was opened.

Xiao Zheng shouted, "Everyone, follow me and charge into the depths of the Ice and Snow Jungle!"

Xiao Zheng charged forward, leading the Sky Net soldiers who were invigorated and followed. The Demon Shield Bureau’s soldiers were stunned by Xiao Zheng’s god-like actions and stopped in their tracks for a moment.

In this moment, the Sky Net’s army almost broke out of the encirclement.

However, Sikureijeman and others, who had been commanding from afar, naturally couldn’t just let Xiao Zheng slip away, so they quickly ordered a reserve elite corps to charge.

The breach Xiao Zheng opened was immediately blocked.

Moreover, Xiao Zheng was separated from his troops.

The biochemical soldiers snapped back to reality and attacked the Sky Net soldiers with a frenzy.

Xiao Zheng was furious, dashed forward, broke another giant tree with a horizontal sweep, and numerous biochemical soldiers flew out, forming another broad path.

"Follow me!"

Xiao Zheng strode forward, but this time his pace was slower than before, fearing a repeat of the previous situation.

Sikureijeman sighed, "Who can stop such bravery?"

Steel Man said in a deep voice, "Should we attack now and implement a decapitation strike?"

Sikureijeman stopped him, "There are still many Sky Net people. If we implement a decapitation strike now, they will surely interfere with us. A decapitation strike is our trump card; it must not be used until the best moment!"

"Alright." Steel Man said no more.

Just like that, Xiao Zheng led the Sky Net army out of the Demon Shield Bureau’s encirclement and into the depths of the Ice and Snow Jungle. Looking back, although they had successfully broken through, Sky Net suffered significant losses.

"Calculate the casualties." Xiao Zheng instructed Gongsun Wuliang.

In a short while, the results came in. Just this one charge cost Sky Net seven to eight thousand soldiers, which was almost a third of their current strength, a considerable loss.

Xiao Zheng’s eyes were filled with anger, but in this moment, he remained calm, gathered Long Qie, Titan, and others, and said, "We have broken out of the Demon Shield Bureau’s encirclement. This Ice and Snow Jungle is vast and boundless. If they want to encircle us again, it would be like climbing to the sky!"

"So, from here on, we can start our operation. We head deeper into the Ice and Snow Jungle, aiming to pass through this forest, then head south to reach the downstream of the Great River of America."

"During this process, the Demon Shield Bureau will surely send people to chase us!"

"We will utilize the advantage of the Sky Net army’s relatively strong individual strength to conduct elusive bite attacks, killing dozens each time."

Long Qie thought for a while and added, "Mr. Xiao, I suggest we can now split into more teams. Although it will weaken our strength, it greatly improves mobility, allowing for attacks from all sides."

"That’s a good plan." Xiao Zheng agreed, "Alright, as per the original division, Tong Hu, Lin Xi, and others will each take their troops, spread out, and then ambush the Demon Shield Bureau."

"Moreover, as the strongest in Sky Net, the Ten Killings will be evenly distributed among these corps. They can strike to eliminate the enemy leader during an attack, leaving them disoriented."
