Freyr had not led the team for long when they arrived at a concealed camp deep in the mountains, where they encountered many Patrol Sentries.
The Sentries here were as energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline. Even after waiting for two or three hours, there was hardly any gap to slip through. The concentration and reconnaissance skills of the front-line Sentries were top-notch, but they could not compare to Freyr and Duan Shuai's ability to lead stealthily. Freyr had a lifetime more experience in commanding troops than Duan Shuai, making this situation seem trivial to him.
Compared to the human Sentries, the Zerg's Sentries were even more difficult to guard against. It was highly likely that the scent emitted by humans could be detected by the Zerg's Sentries from two kilometers away due to their acute sense of smell. The human Sentries relied on electronic technology for detection, but now, with issues arising in electronics, networks, and circuits, the five major camps had resorted to a carpet search method, ensuring that no corner was left unchecked—no fly could get through.
However, this was merely overkill compared to the renowned Crimson Dragon Army. The layout of this camp was expansive and pioneering; being stationed deep in the mountains meant that aside from the main entrance and future exit, there would be no other paths available inside.
There would be no one else in front of the Lion-Tiger Corps' accounts; the deployment of these Sentries was impeccable. Because of this, even the Zerg would find it hard to approach within several kilometers without being detected. The Special Forces were elite members from other squads and would not overlook any signs of movement around them. Their teams operated in pairs or alone during marches—this was a significant ritual in military operations. Otherwise, if a confrontation occurred, it was better for a few to be injured than to allow the enemy to infiltrate their ranks.
According to the rules of military exercises, victory could be achieved simply by lowering the military flag within the Base Camp or by killing the highest-ranking military officer in the tent.
Freyr frowned as he recalled an embarrassing memory and said calmly, "The rules are generally like this: it doesn't matter how many troops we lose. Even if the Crimson Dragon Army's camp is breached and too many are eliminated, as long as we can lower their flag, we will achieve victory directly. The difficulty of lowering their flag compared to killing their highest-ranking officer is significant; even if we kill the officer during formal combat, there will still be a successor to take action. Lowering the flag has immense symbolic value; although our military careers are relatively short, we should understand that a military flag represents the soul of a legion. When a flag is lowered, it signifies a collapse in morale within the army. This is something everyone can understand; therefore, we must lower that flag at any cost."
Duan Shuai shook his head thoughtfully and immediately gestured, "It's not that simple. There should be many guarding the flag; they are considered key figures within the army and are just as important as the highest-ranking officer. Such an item could never be placed in an obvious location."
"I'll go investigate," Freyr said. At this moment, Nosty emerged from the bushes behind him and quietly controlled his mental frequency. A powerful psychic wave began to spread thickly around them. Just this alone would likely go unnoticed by ordinary people; it would only cause slight disturbances in frequency that felt like a gentle breeze blowing toward another camp.
At this point, those Sentries in the camp looked around but did not take notice of anything unusual. Of course, they were unaware that there was a Psychic Sensory User among them. From their reactions, it was clear that such users were rare; it wasn't common for them to mobilize so easily. These Telepaths were primary protective assets within the military and typically held at least a staff officer rank.
Nosty kept his eyes closed for some time. Although he could not see, this did not hinder his actions. After surveying for a while, he frowned slightly and murmured softly before opening his eyes with alarm: "I sensed a shielded psychic area about 600 meters straight ahead. The opponent is skilled; I could break through if necessary, but it would raise suspicions with their Telepath. After all, even if I eliminate my presence quickly, there will still be subtle traces that I might not have time to notice myself. If there is indeed a master here, they could detect those details easily. Clearly, someone capable of creating such psychic shielding is superior to me as a Telepath; I am not as adept in this regard, so it’s best to avoid direct confrontation."
"Ah, having someone like that around is indeed careless on our part," Duan Shuai replied thoughtfully. "But since we've come this far, we must seize the flag at all costs—that is our true purpose for being here. Returning now would only mean carrying a burden of responsibility; it's better for us to take down their flag. Even if we fail in the end, we can still affirm that this action was indeed the right choice."
Duan Shuai sighed lightly, having already assessed the situation. Given the circumstances, he had no choice but to implement Plan B.
At this point, Duan Shuai immediately declared, "Abandon Plan A and use Plan B."
"What Plan B? I didn't even know there was a Plan B," Froth replied, shaking his head in confusion.
The others in the meeting room were equally puzzled, quickly turning to look at Duan Shuai, who was talking to himself. Duan Shuai paused for a moment, surprised to see everyone looking at him, and asked with a twitch of his lips, "Did I not tell you all?"
Freyr facepalmed and shook his head. The others wore expressions of bewilderment as well. Not understanding did not mean they were unaware of the underlying complexities; there were still quite a few in the group skilled in deduction. Thus, they refrained from arguing with Duan Shuai immediately, as it would not be wise to quarrel under these circumstances.
Observing the strange expressions on their faces, Duan Shuai remained calm. He stroked his chin and began to analyze seriously, "Alright, this is a plan I just thought of. Now let me explain it to you..."
After more than ten minutes, Duan Shuai started to break down Plan B without pausing for breath. Due to time constraints, he spoke rapidly. However, he noticed that some still did not grasp the importance of the plan; each part was interconnected. To prevent unforeseen events from disrupting the plan and avoid unnecessary personnel errors, this process had to be conducted with great caution and would take considerable time.
"That's how it is. Do you all understand?" Duan Shuai took a deep breath after finishing the entire explanation of the plan. Finally relaxing as he looked at the silent crowd, he smiled slightly and continued, "Although this mission is risky, it allows a few people to keep the plan moving forward. We must sacrifice some individuals' interests; this is one of the most crucial aspects of the plan. Therefore, the issue now is not who will seize the military flag but rather how we will divide the benefits that come after obtaining it and which team among us will bear the risks and sacrifices..."
