CHAPTER 1028: CHAPTER 1028: A STRATEGY TO WIN HEARTS

After Xiao Zheng gave his orders, Sky Net quickly split into ten corps, each consisting of two to three thousand soldiers.

Originally, each corps was fully staffed with five thousand soldiers, but after numerous battles, too many had sacrificed for Sky Net.

Xiao Zheng looked at everyone and sternly said, "Everyone, in this Ice and Snow Jungle, towering ancient trees stand tall, making the terrain complex and unsuitable for large-scale battles. We can only engage in small-scale skirmishes. You must always remember to retreat when the enemy advances, and advance when they retreat. Use your advantages to inflict damage upon them!"

Xiao Zheng infused his voice with his Gang Qi; although not loud, it clearly resonated in the ears of the more than twenty thousand people of Sky Net.

Everyone responded in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Xiao Zheng took a deep look at everyone, "In this battle, I won’t impose any demands on you. Kill as many as you can. I only give you one command: that three days later, gather downstream at the Great River of America outside the Ice and Snow Jungle. I want you all to arrive there smoothly!"

Xiao Zheng’s words were filled with deep emotion, and these rough men, listening to them, found their eyes turning red as they used all their strength to reply affirmatively.

Xiao Zheng nodded, then led his group of over two thousand, along with Long Qie and Titan, charging into the depths of the Ice and Snow Jungle.

Tong Hu, Lin Xi, and others also led their corps, charging into the depths of the Ice and Snow Jungle from different directions.

The large army of the Demon Shield Bureau quickly arrived, discovering traces everywhere of Sky Net’s troops in the primitive forest.

Sikureijeman was quite surprised, "Strange, could it be a deliberate tactic to confuse us? This doesn’t seem like a feint. Did they actually split their forces?"

Steel Man said solemnly, "I sense they definitely split their forces! Hmph, I can already somewhat guess Xiao Zheng’s intentions. He should want to wage guerrilla warfare with us in this Ice and Snow Jungle."

Iron Wolf frowned, "This Ice and Snow Jungle is vast and the terrain is complex. If they really adopt guerrilla tactics, we face great danger. What should we do?"

Sikureijeman looked at Steel Man and said, "Since you can deduce Xiao Zheng’s intentions, you must have some understanding of how to counter such tactics."

Steel Man nodded, grinning, "Of course, guerrilla tactics are all about surprise attacks. Facing such assaults, the only solution is to crush them with sheer force!"

"We gather together and no matter what happens, we don’t split up. Whatever we encounter, we push through directly. Hmph, even if they employ guerrilla tactics and manage to kill some of us, it won’t hurt us deeply."

Sikureijeman rejoiced, "This plan is good." Immediately, he ordered everyone to stick together closely and advance into the jungle depths as one.

...

Within Sky Net’s army was a leader named Tian Feng, leading over two thousand people, lurking in the depths of the Ice and Snow Jungle.

Tian Feng was sitting cross-legged, cultivating on a branch of a towering ancient tree when a Scout ran up and reported, "A large army from the Demon Shield Bureau is heading our way."

Tian Feng’s eyes flashed with brilliance, he coldly smiled, "Good, give them a harsh lesson." He immediately instructed everyone to hide in the trees and restrain their presence.

Soon, the Demon Shield Bureau’s army arrived. Tian Feng shouted loudly, jumped to the ground, and slashed a biochemical warrior, then bravely continued fighting the enemy.

The others also leapt down from the trees, wreaking havoc.

The sudden appearance of Sky Net’s people caught the Demon Shield Bureau completely off guard, shocking them, and causing heavy casualties.

The biochemical warriors here were the Bureau’s advance team, primarily responsible for scouting the front. Their combat strength wasn’t very high.

Sky Net achieved a great victory, breaking through layers effortlessly.

However, not long after, shouts came from the rear of the Bureau’s army, as a group of elite biochemical warriors charged forward, led by a master of class A.

Numerous in number, they came charging at Tian Feng and his men with mighty momentum.

Tian Feng remembered Xiao Zheng’s key instruction, retreat when the enemy advances, and without hesitation, signaled for everyone to fall back.

This Sky Net corps rapidly retreated.

The B-level master saw this and, filled with rage, led his troops in pursuit.

Tian Feng saw this and said to one of the Ten Killings with the code name 05, "Sir, please kill their leader so they become headless dragons."

That killer 05 nodded, turned like a phantom, and disappeared, only to reappear on a towering ancient tree next to the B-level master, then with a forceful kick off the trunk, darted down like an arrow, stabbing the neck of the B-level master with a dagger.

With one move, this person was resolved, and 05 rapidly retreated back to the original team. Tian Feng expressed his admiration, "Sir, your strength is truly unfathomable."

Witnessing their leader’s death, the Demon Shield Bureau’s biochemical warriors became bewildered and ceased their pursuit.

Tian Feng seized this opportunity to lead his corps away.

...

This scene was merely a snapshot. In the following time, the Sky Net troops led by Tong Hu, Lin Xi, Tian Feng, and others, harassed the Demon Shield Bureau’s army day and night.

Furthermore, they were very slippery, retreating immediately after achieving results.

In a short time, the Demon Shield Bureau suffered thousands of casualties.

For the Demon Shield Bureau, these losses were trivial, as expected by Steel Man. However, the upper echelons of the Bureau grew increasingly anxious because they were horrified to find that Sky Net’s guerrilla tactics were having a terrifying impact on their morale.

Sikureijeman convened another meeting.

"We must take action!" Sikureijeman wore a worried expression, "Although our damage is minor, each of the warriors is growing fearful, hesitating during battles. If this continues, our combat effectiveness will greatly diminish."

"I didn’t expect this guerrilla tactic to have such a devastating effect. It’s truly an attack on the mind!" Steel Man sighed.

Initially, he thought guerrilla tactics were trivial and easy to handle, but now they’ve taught him a valuable lesson.
