Chapter 396: Chapter 384: Staff Department’s Reaction, Drawing Up a Battle Plan, Experts in Demon Suppression City, The Price?!
Demon Suppression City, the Second Field Army’s garrison.
Staff Department.
Since taking on the task specifically to liaise with Captain Chu Feng, clerk Lu Teng had been sleeping with trepidation, fearful he might overlook an urgent message from Captain Chu Feng, which could delay the military merits entry for the whole Staff Department and affect the side earnings of hundreds of desperate staff members with red eyes.
If that were to happen, there would be no need for the Chief of Staff to take action—the staff supervisor could tear him to pieces alive!
As he was having a nightmare in which he struggled desperately against a mother demon with the head of an ox and the body of a horse forcefully violating him, the communication terminal suddenly started "ding ding ding" ringing.
Startled, he rolled out of bed, not even bothering to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and as soon as he saw the screen of the communication terminal, a distorted, high-pitched scream squeezed out of his throat:
"A letter from Captain Chu Feng! Supervisor! Supervisor! There’s movement from Captain Chu Feng!"
With a loud "bang," the wooden door of Lu Teng’s dormitory was violently smashed open from the outside, clattering to the floor.
His supervisor, not even sparing a glance at the fallen door, leaped into the air toward the terrified and huddled Lu Teng, his face so anxious it was slightly contorted:
"What are you waiting for, get moving with me to the tactical research room, now!"
...
The Second Field Army Staff Department, tactical research room.
In less than three minutes, all 112 members of the Staff Department had arrived, not a single one absent.
Each wore their uniforms impeccably, reflecting their good combat discipline and training.
Only the dark circles under their eyes, light or deep, indicated they weren’t as indifferent to the issue with Captain Chu Feng as they seemed.
As soon as the Chief of Staff saw everyone had arrived, he commanded, "Begin, connect the imaging device."
The somewhat flustered clerk Lu Teng stood on the stage and, upon hearing this, let out a sigh of relief and placed the communication terminal on the table.
The next second, the image of Captain Chu Feng squatting sneakily among the ruins appeared above the tactical research room.
The staff broke into smiles at his appearance, unable to contain their laughter.
However, as the intelligence broadcast continued, they quickly lost their ability to laugh.
Especially after seeing Captain Chu Feng’s tactical requirements, the complexions of the staff grew pale.
A staff member took a deep breath and muttered, "What a joke... This kind of three-dimensional defense system, with him alone, how can he break through? It’s too difficult!"
"..."
The other staff members remained silent, but nodded in agreement.
There were three crisp knocks, and the Deputy Chief of Staff rapped the table, stating coldly, "A joke? Who’s joking with you?
"Captain Chu Feng is taking an enormous risk infiltrating the heart of the Demon Clan to bring us all this precious intelligence, does he not find it difficult?
"As the executor of the tactics, working with his head on the line, who has more right to say it is difficult? I will see who dares to complain further!"
The staff members all bowed their heads in silence.
The Chief of Staff looked approvingly at the Deputy Chief of Staff and soothed in a mild voice, "Well, it’s natural that work will have its challenges. If there were no difficulties, how could we demonstrate our crucial role?
"If it were so simple that anyone could do it, would this large amount of military merits still fall to us to divide? There’s a reward for the effort put in!"
At the mention of military merits, the eyes of the staff members immediately widened, and no one felt sleepy anymore.
The Chief of Staff nodded, his expression becoming stern, "Alright, listen to my command and begin immediately!
"Group three is in charge of analyzing and summarizing the intelligence, group two is responsible for formulating the battle plan for the Demon Clan military camps outside the city.
"Group one, concentrate on figuring out the simplest way to disrupt the defenses of the Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon and eradicate all the Serpent Demons!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this command, the staff members all stood up at once, shouting energetically with high spirits and morale.
The Deputy Chief of Staff paused to think, then added, "I have two more requirements to add.
"First, accomplish the two tactical goals Captain Chu has requested as much as possible!"
"Second, make full use of all the resources Captain Chu carries with him to avoid unnecessary backtracking, which increases danger and prolongs the execution period.
"Additionally, if any department or individual’s cooperation and support are needed, bring it to me; I will coordinate and fight for it!"
"Yes!"
...
Chu Feng squatted silently in the ruins, his ears pricked up, listening attentively to the noises outside.
From what he could hear, everything outside seemed normal.
The periodic sound of a snake’s tail rubbing against the ground and the subtle "hiss" of the Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon conversing were consistent with the situation on his way in, with no changes whatsoever.
But for some reason, Chu Feng always had a faint sense of crisis lingering in his throat, creating an uncomfortable feeling that wouldn’t go away until expressed.
This sense of crisis did not intensify with time, but neither did it fade away, persisting in a way that he could not ignore.
With his eyes closed, he reviewed his actions over and over, pondering if he had overlooked anything.
But after much thought, he could only attribute the source of this crisis feeling to the Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon’s irrational intuition.
’The Spirit-Eye Serpent Demon clan makes me feel so insecure!’
He opened his eyes slightly, a sharp chill flashing in them.
...
An hour later, the information terminal suddenly vibrated.
Chu Feng silently took out the information terminal and browsed the combat plans on it.
The Staff Department of the Second Field Army had provided him with three different combat plans, each with its own emphasis.
The first plan focused on the elimination of Cave Heaven Realm and lower Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons.
According to the Staff Department’s analysis, the poison Chu Feng carried had its damage limit at the Cave Heaven Realm and would not be effective enough against Demon Clan members of the Yin and Yang Realm or higher levels.
In other words, those Yin and Yang and Hunyuan Realm Snake Demons could use their Domain space to temporarily evade the threat of the toxins.
It was highly probable that the Hunyuan Realm Snake Demons were avatars of the Demon Clan’s False Gods and could even use the Domain space to protect a portion of the Demon Clan.
After reviewing, Chu Feng hesitated for a moment but still rejected this plan.
In the Record of Demon Beasts, it is noted that the Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons are oviparous and breed very rapidly.
Leaving a few high-level Snake Demons was like leaving roots, and in no more than two years, the population of the Spirit-Eye Serpent Demons would spread to its current extent again.
At that time, having learned from their mistakes and become more vigilant, it would not be as easy for Chu Feng to replicate today’s actions.
Strike the snake and kill it, lest you suffer its vengeance!
The second combat plan was a variant of the first, with the emphasis on... summoning the experts of the Second Army to take action.
Inside the Eastern War Zone, there are a total of 13 strong individuals above the Hunyuan Realm.
The Commander of Demon Suppression City also serves as the Commander of the Eastern War Zone, Yuan Hengkong, one of the strongest, a Dharma Aspect Realm Martial Artist.
Below him are two Deputy Commanders, namely the First Deputy Commander Ji Min and the Second Deputy Commander Su Cen, both of whose cultivation have reached the pinnacle of the Hunyuan Realm, just behind Yuan Hengkong.
Further down, the commanders of the First Army to the Third Army are all occupied by Hunyuan Realm strong individuals.
Additionally, there is a special operations squad composed of seven top experts, one of them being of the Dharma Aspect Realm and the other six of the Hunyuan Realm.
The strongest Dharma Aspect Realm Martial Artist serves as the squad leader, whose realm and combat power is only slightly inferior to Yuan Hengkong’s.
However, either due to personality flaws or a lack of management skills, they do not hold specific positions but exist as senior enforcers.
While enjoying a wealth of cultivation resources and generous salaries provided by the Demon Extermination Army, as well as taking care of their descendants, their mission is to continuously cultivate, constantly improve their realm and combat power, so as to face even stronger enemies.
The second combat plan proposes that, after Chu Feng has caused chaos in the Demon Army camp, three Hunyuan Realm experts from the special operations squad will be mobilized for support.
Only, to request their support, a price must be paid.
