No matter the experience, there always comes a time to be grateful for it. Ye Yu felt that his ten years of training at Arrow Training Camp had been marked by coldness and numbness, with little else worth remembering. However, the intelligence he had gathered at the Arrow of Justice would surely prove helpful. During that rescue operation, they had thoroughly familiarized themselves with the surrounding terrain.
Now, without any intelligence support, Ye Yu and his team had to rely solely on themselves. Knowing that the enemy was also in the dark about their movements, occupying the high ground would naturally give them an advantage.
"Brother Tang, you take five people to secure the rear. Wang Jiu and Xia Chiu will handle the flanks, while Nasha stays in the middle to provide support. I'll lead the way!" With thirty-seven members in total, thirty-two of whom were virtual soldiers, they needed a solid plan.
Ye Yu divided his forces into four directions from the start. Although they risked being picked off one by one, at least he knew how many enemies they faced beforehand. Their positions were not too dispersed, so there was little worry about being ambushed.
"Understood, Commander!" As students of the First Military Academy, they understood that military orders were absolute. At this moment, Ye Yu was not just the leader of their small team but also the commander of the entire squad.
With his orders given, everyone immediately set to work. Chen Tang was the fastest; as soon as Ye Yu finished speaking, he led five Virtual Soldiers to take up position at the back of the formation. Even with just six people, Chen Tang managed to create a balanced defensive formation that could respond to emergencies at any time.
Wang Jiu, despite his usual carefree demeanor, quickly took five men to conceal themselves on the right flank, while Xia Chiu did the same on the left.
Nasha remained in the center with the largest group, which was also the most dangerous position. They were completely exposed; if discovered by enemies, they could easily come under attack.
Ye Yu led five Virtual Soldiers ahead but kept a close watch on the other groups' situations. While this method of marching seemed cumbersome, it effectively prevented them from being wiped out in one fell swoop.
The high ground Ye Yu aimed for had no official name; it was simply referred to by its elevation—referred to as Hill 42. In reality, it was little more than a dirt mound.
After about ten minutes of walking from their position, Ye Yu finally spotted the familiar location. Previously seen only in virtual image data, this was his first time encountering it in reality.
The mound was composed entirely of black rocks, pockmarked and eroded by cosmic elements. However, its rugged terrain provided excellent cover for their movements.
Before long, all the teams had gathered together. Now, the only advantage Ye Yu and his group had was the terrain, but if the enemy didn’t come to them, simply waiting would lead to defeat.
“I’m somewhat familiar with this area. I’ll take a few people to see if we can capture a few scouts. That way, we can launch a surprise attack!” In terms of actual combat experience in this battlefield, only Ye Yu had it, and since he was familiar with the area, he was naturally the most suitable for the task.
“Capture scouts?” Xia Chiu asked with a puzzled expression. Although she guessed that it didn’t literally mean capturing tongues, she wasn’t clear on what it actually meant.
“The enemy will also send people to gather intelligence. My ‘scouts’ refer to those who come out to gather information. If we capture them, we can learn some news,” Ye Yu explained with a smile. He had heard this from veterans before.
“Then I’ll go with you!” Chen Tang stepped forward after hearing Ye Yu’s words.
“No need, Brother Tang. You stay here to set up defenses; after all, you excel at that. I’ll handle the physical work!” Ye Yu understood the importance of utilizing everyone’s strengths and knew he couldn’t just stay in the safest place because he was the leader.
Chen Tang nodded in agreement without any objections.
“If I unfortunately ‘sacrifice,’ then Brother Tang will be the commander!” According to the customs of the Federation Army, when the primary commander undertakes a dangerous mission, a deputy commander must be appointed to remain behind in case of emergencies.
“Brother Yu, you’re destined to be a champion; how can you be eliminated so early?” Xia Chiu spoke candidly but still chose her words carefully. Even in a simulated battlefield environment, she wouldn’t lightly mention sacrifice.
The high ground that Ye Yu referred to didn’t have an official name; it was simply designated by its elevation—referred to as Hill 42. To be precise, it could barely be considered more than a dirt mound.
Hill 42 wasn’t far from where Ye Yu and his group were located. After about ten minutes of walking, Ye Yu finally saw the place he remembered. However, he had only seen it in virtual Image Data before; this was his first time seeing it in reality.
The hill was composed entirely of black rocks, all pockmarked and eroded—likely due to the effects of the Cosmic Environment. However, because of the rugged terrain on top, it actually provided good cover for everyone to hide their figures.
Before long, all the teams had gathered together. Now, the only advantage Ye Yu and his group had was the terrain, but if the enemy didn't come to them, simply waiting would lead to defeat.
"I’m somewhat familiar with this area. I'll take a few people to see if we can capture some scouts. That way, we can launch a surprise attack!" In terms of actual combat experience on the battlefield, only Ye Yu had been through it, and since he was familiar with the surroundings, he was naturally the most suitable choice.
"Capture scouts?" Xia Chiu asked with a puzzled expression. Although she guessed that it didn’t literally mean capturing tongues, she wasn’t clear on what it actually meant.
"The enemy will also send people to gather intelligence. My scouts are those who come out to gather information. If we catch them, we'll be able to learn something," Ye Yu explained with a smile. He had heard this from veterans before.
"Then I’ll go with you!" Chen Tang stepped forward after hearing Ye Yu's words.
"No need, Brother Tang. You stay here to set up defenses; after all, you're good at that. I'll handle the physical work!" Ye Yu understood the importance of utilizing everyone's strengths and knew he couldn't just stay in the safest spot because he was the leader.
Chen Tang nodded in agreement without further protest.
"If I unfortunately 'sacrifice,' then Brother Tang will be the commander!" According to Federation Army customs, when the primary commander undertakes a dangerous mission, a deputy commander must be appointed to remain behind in case of unforeseen circumstances.
"Little Brother Yu, you're destined to be a champion; how can you think about being eliminated so early?" Xia Chiu, though straightforward in her speech, still chose her words carefully. Even in a simulated battlefield environment, one should not speak lightly of sacrifice.
