The dark moon rose, and night fell. Everything around was pitch black, with the distant sound of the sea crashing against the shore. Within the camp of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, everything seemed unusually quiet. Aside from the occasional passing of a patrol soldier, there was no other sound; it seemed that the guards were exhausted after a long day of travel.
In a cave separated from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce by a small hill, five people—a group of four men and one woman—were listening to a report from one of the men.
The four men appeared to be between forty and fifty years old, but in reality, they were much older. The only woman looked to be in her thirties, with an alluring appearance and eyes that exuded an indescribable charm. She wore an extremely sexy outfit, a tight-fitting red suit that accentuated her curves, causing the four men in the cave to steal glances at her repeatedly. The woman seemed unfazed by their attention and occasionally pushed out her already ample bosom, making the men swallow hard.
One of the men asked, "What happened with your surveillance of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?"
At this question, the other three men turned their attention to a middle-aged man kneeling before them. He lowered his head and replied, "Reporting to the Chief Instructor, we encountered a bit of an accident while monitoring the Chinese Chamber of Commerce."
"An accident? How could there be an accident? What exactly happened?"
"Chief Instructor, initially we were monitoring normally when suddenly dozens of people entered the main tent of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Not long after, they came out and began setting up tents in the middle of the courtyard. Additionally, several dozen people started firing rockets at the mountain at regular intervals. Their actions were sudden, which resulted in some injuries among our team."
"Three of my companions were injured or burned by their rockets; fortunately, they managed to hold on without being discovered."
"What did you do next?" The Chief Instructor frowned.
"I had my subordinates temporarily retreat. After about an hour when they stopped firing rockets, we returned to continue our surveillance."
"And what did you find upon returning?"
"We found that the tent in the middle had already been set up and they were moving boxes inside."
"What kind of boxes?"
"The ones containing armor and weapons."
"How can you be sure they contain weapons and armor?"
"While we were supervising, two people accidentally dropped a box on the ground, and it broke open. Inside, we saw weapons and armor."
The Chief Commander nodded, "You can go down now. Continue to send people to monitor the situation and report back to me immediately."
"Understood." The person replied and stepped back.
At this moment, there were still Five People left in the Cave. The Chief Instructor addressed the four individuals beside him, "Do any of you have thoughts on this? I can't shake the feeling that there's some kind of conspiracy here. Could someone have leaked information?"
One person asked, "Chief Instructor, what makes you think that?"
The Chief Instructor shook his head, "I don't know; I just feel uneasy. Perhaps I'm overthinking it."
Another person smiled slightly, "Chief Instructor, you might be worrying too much. Based on the intelligence we've received, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is escorting a group of Intermediate Knights this time, along with a certain number of Junior Knights. Our numbers far exceed theirs. The leader should be President Liu Xin of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and his personal bodyguard."
That bodyguard seems to be an Advanced Knight. As for the President, he is skilled in business and has excellent blacksmithing skills. Do you think a man in his thirties could practice blacksmithing to such a level while also having time to train in martial arts? Although we haven't received accurate information about his strength, I estimate he is at most an Intermediate Knight. Otherwise, his bodyguard wouldn't need to stick so close to him like a piece of sticky rice cake."
At this point, the Chief Instructor nodded and said, "Yes, Instructor Ma's analysis is very reasonable. I was overthinking it. According to our intelligence, there is only one Advanced Knight in the entire escort mission of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce this time. In that case, our task becomes much simpler."
"When we ambush the Chinese Chamber of Commerce later, Instructor Ma, Song Instructor, and I will deal with that bodyguard. If we have the chance, we'll take him down, but we must prioritize safety."
The two men who spoke earlier nodded in agreement.
The Chief Instructor then turned to the only woman present and smiled, "Snow Instructor, I've got a good job for you; you will handle the President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Is that alright?"
The female instructor threw a flirtatious glance at the Chief Instructor and replied in a voice so sweet it could melt bones, "Got it! Chief Instructor really cares for me by giving me such a good task. Don't worry; I'll definitely complete it." She then winked at him.
The Chief Instructor looked at Snow Instructor with a lewd smile and thought to himself: Little vixen, after our operation tonight, I'll make sure to treat you well. Damn it, this is too exciting. With that thought, he calmed his excited demeanor and reassured himself not to get carried away.
"The remaining Season Instructor will be under your charge. Your main task is to lead your subordinates to move all the armor and weapons from the boxes. If you can't move them all, just burn them directly. They placed the weapons and armor in the middle tent for easier access when we act. How does that sound? No problem?"
The last man clasped his fists towards the speaker and said, "I will definitely complete the task."
The Chief Instructor nodded and said, "Does anyone have any questions? If you have any, please ask quickly."
The four of them shook their heads and replied, "No."
The Chief Instructor looked at the sky; it was already past one in the morning. He then glanced at the four instructors and said, "Since there are no questions, let's head out. Once we arrive, we will proceed according to the plan."
"Understood," they said, turning to walk out.
The Chief Instructor quickly approached the last one in line, Snow Instructor, and lightly patted her on the rear. Snow Instructor responded with a big flirtatious wink, which made the Chief Instructor laugh heartily.
After gathering his subordinates, the five instructors led a team of over five hundred people quietly toward the temporary camp of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Soon, they crossed a small hill and arrived about five hundred meters from the camp. At that moment, the man who had reported to the five instructors earlier came back to them: "Report to the Chief Instructor, there have been no unusual occurrences in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce so far."
The Chief Instructor nodded at him and said, "Let's go take a look. The rest of you stay here and stand by."
After saying this, the Chief Instructor led the other four instructors to their observation point.
At this time, the camp of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was very quiet. There were no sounds of noise coming from any of the tents; only a few piles of campfires crackled softly in the open space. Occasionally, a patrol team could be seen walking around the camp. Besides those patrolling, guards were stationed at the main gate and in front of each tent.
The Chief Instructor turned to look at the man who had reported earlier and said, "With their guards so tight, how can we sneak in?"
The instructor named Ji whispered, "If we have the advantage, why bother with stealth? Can't we just charge in?"
The Chief Instructor shook his head: "Even if we have an advantage, we can't attack recklessly. If we can sneak in, we can complete our mission with minimal cost. Plus, we can end the fight as quickly as possible." After saying this, he reached out and touched Snow Instructor beside him, causing her to squirm on the ground.
"Chief Instructor, there's no need to rush. They change shifts every hour or so. During the shift change, they will have about five to six minutes of downtime; we can use that time to get in."
The Chief Instructor thought for a moment: "That will have to do. How much longer until they change shifts?"
"About ten more minutes."
The Chief Instructor turned to the Season Instructor and said, "You go bring our people over. Make sure they pay attention to their feet and mouths. We'll act according to our signals later."
After nodding, the Season Instructor quietly left. Following the orders, the five hundred guards he led stealthily approached a spot about fifty meters from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, where dense bushes concealed their figures.
Inside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Liu Guanfeng and Cui Zhongyi were sitting on a bed with their eyes closed, resting. However, Liu Guanfeng was quite aware of what was happening outside, especially after the five instructors arrived at their surveillance point; he had a clear grasp of their every move. What they didn't know was Liu Guanfeng's remarkable ability—his tent was less than two hundred meters away from their chosen observation point, and his spiritual awareness could cover nearly three hundred meters. Thus, he was well aware of their situation.
It wasn't until the instructor with the surname Ji brought all five hundred of his men to within fifty meters of the camp that Liu Guanfeng smiled at Cui Zhongyi beside him and said, "Brother, it seems like the big fish is about to fall into the trap."
Cui Zhongyi, visibly excited, whispered back, "I can hardly wait." Ever since he received the second half of the Luohan Fist and the Daruma Staff Technique from Liu Guanfeng, he had been training alongside him every day. However, he found it impossible to gain any advantage over Liu Guanfeng. The more he trained, the more he doubted whether he had regressed after learning martial arts. Why was it that he couldn't defeat Liu Guanfeng no matter how hard he tried? So when he learned that there might be a fight tonight, he became thrilled.
Now that he heard those people had arrived at the entrance, Cui Zhongyi could hardly contain himself and wanted to rush out immediately. However, according to Liu Guanfeng's plan, he had to hold back and tightly gripped his iron staff.
About ten minutes later, among the guards inside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, one approached the entrance and spoke a few words to two others. The two guards stood side by side behind this guard. After this person walked around the courtyard with them, all eight guards in the yard followed him to the last tent.
After greeting the stationed guards, all ten entered the tent. Just as the last person stepped inside, the Chief Instructor, who was hiding outside supervising, gestured to those beside him. He could hardly wait any longer; the Snow Instructor beside him squirmed under his control, and this simple friction only fueled his impatience.
So when he saw that the last guard had just entered the tent without making any further arrangements, he directly waved his hand to signal everyone to rise. The Season Instructor noticed that the Chief Instructor's group had moved and quickly led his subordinates to the camp gate, rushing toward the central tent containing weapons and armor.
Behind them, the Chief Instructor rode ahead with three other instructors on their mounts, charging straight for Liu Guanfeng's tent without any hesitation.
Just as they thought they would soon kill the President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce within the camp, things took a turn. A shadow burst out from inside the tent, startling the four leading individuals into stopping in their tracks when they were only about ten meters away from it.
