Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 657 - 496 Fugitive Beastmen_2

To ensure fairness, the target could only be an outsider.

And since it was an army, abilities such as tracking, scouting, and encircling should be fundamental.

Humans were numerous, hence they could dispatch more personnel, which was more suited for carpet-style searches, yet assembling them could be a bit troublesome.

Elves were few but had strong mobility advantages; they could come and go as they pleased, but when it came to encircling, they easily let the target escape.

Each had its strengths and weaknesses.

"Additionally, from beginning to end, you will all be equipped with surveillance devices; if all the monitoring equipment is damaged, that will also be counted as a loss, understand?"

Since it was an outdoor combat mission, casualties were inevitable.

Monitors were necessary on both sides to prevent either from going mad and using any means necessary to win.

Bai E, leading the team, responded loudly, "Understood!"

The elf next door glanced over at Bai E not far away and also responded indifferently, "Understood."

Humans were humans; they only knew how to rely on numbers.

Useless trash, no matter how many, was still trash.

A useful elite was a War God even if alone.

"If everyone's ready... then let's set off."

The old man and the Elf Storm stood on the high Point Soldier Platform, watching the well-prepared teams from both sides, smiling and nodding their approval.

The Elf Storm blinked at the old man, saying with a smile, "I hope this isn't our last competition, and I hope your humans still have the courage to send warriors again."

The old man smirked coldly, "You'll see."

The other side could only see their human forces' bloated organization, but were completely unaware that in truth, only General Bai E needed to make a full effort.

Orcs, after all, General Bai E could chop them all down with his Mecha, right?

If firearms and vehicles were part of the equipment, why couldn't Mecha be part of it?

This is our human mechanized army! Do you understand?

Wait a minute!

Where's the Mecha?

Why did they just leave without it?

Hey! General Bai! You forgot the Mecha!

Watching the figure leading the team away, kicking up a cloud of dust, the man on the platform was somewhat bewildered.

Where's the Mecha?

What about the promised Mecha?

"What's going on with General Bai E?" The old man suddenly turned his head, glaring fiercely at someone behind him.

Considering there were other races present, he moderated his tone and asked through gritted teeth.

"I don't know."

"Oh~ General Bai E said he didn't need the Mecha," the person replied. "He said it was inconvenient in the field and only useful in large-scale trench warfare."

"Audacious! Who allowed him to ignore the plan?"

Wasn't the original plan to assign him a hundred scouts to find orc trails and then have Bai E directly take down the target with the Mecha, straightforwardly settling the matter?

And now... what now?

"But General Bai E is currently the highest commander of the military district..." replied the person, blinking and responding somewhat bewilderedly.

In military operations, shouldn't you listen to the most professional person among a group of professionals?

There was nothing they could do to forcibly override the arrangements made by General Bai E.

"..."

All right, all right!

The old man clenched his teeth, glowering fiercely at the gradually disappearing dust cloud.

If I lose this contest, then this so-called artificial human warrior should just honestly go be a front-line grunt!

As expected of my prejudice against artificial humans, these inferior beings should never be entrusted with important tasks!

...

As soon as the army left the gate, Bai E casually took out his personal motorcycle and handed over command of the battalion to Zero, who had been following him all along.

In the squad, You was not adept at giving strong commands to everyone, Rose had to coordinate with Helen and hadn't even shown up, Stony was just a simpleton, leaving only Zero to take on some responsibility.

"Do well, and let's see whether you find those beastmen first or we do," Bai E said with a chuckle, patting Zero on the shoulder, then twisted the throttle and shot out like an arrow.

There wasn't much difference between his plans and those so-called big shots had arranged—the main force in capturing the roaming beastmen was still himself.

The only difference was that they wanted him to pilot a mecha, and he didn't feel like it.

The only specialty I currently have mastered to the "Heartflow" level is light weapons; the rest are not yet there.

In a battle between martial artists, both sides have a chance to ban and choose, testing their multifaceted abilities.

The Guard Commander's bout with Zoro was about pure physical combat, whereas the Shadow King's match with Zoro was about agile weapons.

If my light weapons were banned by the opponent, then I'd have to leave it to luck to decide what we would compete in.

Having an extra option is always better than relying on luck.

The newly acquired skill urgently needed the blood of prey to be sharpened; the skill was already added, and he was just waiting to awaken it with the blood of beastmen.

This time seeking out beastmen was precisely to get some practice first.

...

Above the wilderness, a group of wandering beastmen were huffing and puffing, bustling with noise.

A slightly lean beastman stood beside his boss, gazing together in a certain direction.

He knew that in the unseen distance lay the place his boss wanted to conquer most right now!

"Scarface, do you reckon I can finally take down that fellow?" asked Dagger-Tooth, sweeping his hand over the throng of beastmen kids in front of him, his thick lips curling upward, "I've already subdued the nearby tribes, 'bout time I had another go at him, right?"

"Of course! Our boss is the toughest!" a youngster nearby immediately responded with a slow, deep voice, fervently echoing, "Boss is invincible!"

"Boss is invincible!"

The chant spread like a tide, and visibly, Dagger-Tooth's muscles swelled a bit more in the air.

"Not enough!" Feeling the real power filling his body, Dagger-Tooth still felt a lingering pain on his shoulder from the scar left by their first encounter.

He'd thought the opponent's archery was his strongest ability, but the second time they met, he was still beaten black and blue.

Memories may blur, but the body's genes never forget.
