After receiving the order from Liu Guanfeng, the five squad leaders immediately returned to arrange the relevant matters. Soon, they placed all the soldiers' weapons and armor into Liu Guanfeng's tent, a total of fifty sets. Liu Guanfeng then stored these fifty sets of armor and weapons in his Cosmic Bag.
The other soldiers were puzzled: what were the people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce planning to do? Were they really going to lay down their arms and return to farming? Why were they surrendering their weapons and armor?
After handing in their weapons and armor, everyone returned to their tents to sleep. Before long, various snoring sounds echoed from within the tents. At this time, everyone had just finished lunch, and during dinner, Zhang Yuru specifically instructed to add more dishes for the fifty soldiers from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The soldiers outside were even more convinced that these fifty individuals must have been dismissed; otherwise, why would they be treated to extra food? They could enjoy a good meal and then leave.
Meanwhile, the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce acted as if nothing was amiss. After dinner, they returned to their rooms to rest.
As night fell and silence enveloped the barracks, all but the duty soldiers were fast asleep. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng donned his water suit and stepped out of the main tent. His water suit was made from the skin of a sea python, providing excellent durability. The other fifty soldiers also put on their water suits, which Liu Guanfeng had equipped them with during his time at Diaoyu Island. To train the soldiers in underwater tactics, Liu Guanfeng had ordered a large number of water suits from Four Holy City, all of which were top quality.
The group of fifty assembled quietly. Liu Guanfeng waved his hand at them, and they left the barracks from the left side of the camp. After climbing over a fence, everyone mounted their steeds on a flat area. Under Liu Guanfeng's lead, they quickly raced towards the seaside.
After running for nearly four hours, they finally heard the sound of waves. Upon reaching the beach, it was still dark—the darkest time of day. With his keen eyesight, Liu Guanfeng could finally see the fifty guards before him:
"You may have been wondering why we are out here at night and avoiding everyone's gaze. That is because we are about to execute a surprise attack plan today, and only we fifty-one will carry out this mission. I fear that there might be spies among us, so we must avoid drawing attention. This mission involves only these fifty individuals and requires us to penetrate deep behind enemy lines without making any mistakes; otherwise, we risk total annihilation. Now that I have explained everything to you, let's begin our actions—follow me and Little Black into the sea."
After finishing his words, Liu Guanfeng turned around and was the first to step into the ocean. The others followed closely behind him into the water. They greatly admired Liu Guanfeng as their leader; if it had been anyone else, they would never have disclosed such secretive matters. Liu Guanfeng's willingness to share this information showed how much he trusted them. Moreover, he always led from the front in any endeavor, signaling to all soldiers that if anything went wrong, he would be the first to bear the consequences.
With such a leader, who wouldn't feel reassured? Thus, throughout Liu Guanfeng's speech until they began their actions, not a single person spoke; they simply executed Liu Guanfeng's orders silently.
Soon enough, all fifty-one individuals were submerged in the sea. Aiming for their direction, Liu Guanfeng led everyone deeper into the water. By the time the sun peeked above the horizon, Liu Guanfeng and his fifty subordinates had already distanced themselves from the shore.
Liu Guanfeng had effectively trained his soldiers for underwater combat during their time at Diaoyu Island—especially his Special Forces unit—each member had learned underwater fighting skills that would come in handy today.
To ensure everyone had enough energy, Liu Guanfeng found a relatively sheltered spot and gathered everyone together for breakfast in the sea. This was part of their special training curriculum, which these soldiers adapted to quite well.
After a simple breakfast, the fifty-one continued onward. Thanks to Little Black's presence, those high-level Sea Beasts in the vast ocean dared not approach; after all, no Sea Beast would be foolish enough to seek out lunch with a divine beast providing protection.
Liu Guanfeng led the fifty guards ashore after swimming from morning until nearly dinner time. They had arrived at the back of the Bian Dong military camp, still quite a distance from Xiao Ke Village.
Once ashore, Liu Guanfeng immediately ordered everyone to take off their wet clothes. He retrieved the armor and weapons that had been placed in his Cosmic Bag by the soldiers earlier, allowing all the soldiers to no longer worry about their damp clothing. Liu Guanfeng took responsibility for collecting the discarded wet clothes himself. After a simple meal, he commanded everyone to rest.
Fortunately, the cave they found was spacious enough that none of the fifty felt cramped inside, and Liu Guanfeng lay down to rest like everyone else.
The lookout duty was assigned to Little Black, who remained energetic after a long swim, while the others were too exhausted to even mount their horses and needed a good rest.
It was not until deep into the night that the soldiers awoke from their slumber. After Liu Guanfeng had them eat another meal, everyone donned their gear and mounted their horses before he ordered them to head towards Xiao Ke Village.
After riding for about two hours, they came across a narrow path flanked by steep cliffs. Liu Guanfeng instructed Little Black to stop and look around.
"Class Two, Three, Four, come here."
"President," the four class leaders approached Liu Guanfeng simultaneously.
"Did you see the high mountains on both sides?" The four looked around and nodded.
"Now, you four classes will split into two groups and ambush on either side of the mountain. When we lure Bian Dong's army here tomorrow, you will launch a surprise attack. Prepare as much wood and rubble as possible on both sides; the more, the better. Once we pass by tomorrow and Bian Dong's men arrive, we will give them a surprise. Can you four complete this mission?"
"President, rest assured we will complete the mission."
"Good, take your men and get ready. We should arrive here around noon; remember not to let your soldiers start any fires to avoid detection."
"Understood."
The four class leaders left with their men. Watching them disappear into the mountains, Liu Guanfeng continued forward with the remaining ten soldiers. During the task assignment, he had carefully observed the situation of these five classes. Overall, only half of their mounts were suitable for speed, so he decided to take this class for the surprise attack.
After running for about two hours, the outline of Xiao Ke Village could be faintly seen ahead, and it was already deep into the night. Liu Guanfeng called all ten remaining soldiers to his side, forming them into a circle before he began issuing orders:
"Listen carefully, everyone. Ahead is Xiao Ke Village, and our mission is to enter Xiao Ke Village from the back while Big Leader launches an attack in the morning. We will set a few fires in their military camp. At that time, each of you will carry three rockets. After firing them, return immediately to the camp entrance without delay. You will pair up in teams of two. Do you understand?"
The ten soldiers nodded and began to follow Liu Guanfeng's instructions by taking out their bows and wrapping them with oilcloth.
After resting for a while, the sky began to brighten. Liu Guanfeng led his men quietly to hide outside Xiao Ke Village. At this time, some soldiers in Xiao Ke Village started cooking. Due to the battle, there were no villagers left in the entire village; everyone had relocated to other villages. Therefore, Liu Guanfeng and his men could act freely without worrying about causing any collateral damage.
Xiao Ke Village had only two entrances, and the back served as the military's food storage area. There were only a few dozen soldiers stationed at the back, as most had been reassigned to guard the front gate. At this moment, only two soldiers were guarding the back door.
Liu Guanfeng felt that the new world should be waking up soon and began contacting xp: "xp, can you hear me?"
"Master, you finally sent word! I was worried sick. The Mistress asked me last night if I had any news about you."
"We just arrived here early this morning. Go tell Big Leader that we are ready on our end and she can proceed according to plan."
"Understood! Please be careful, Master."
After speaking with Liu Guanfeng, xp relayed the information to Zhang Yuru and informed him that Liu Guanfeng was fully prepared and everything would proceed as planned.
On the day Liu Guanfeng left, Hong Tao discovered that everyone in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was missing except for Cui Zhongyi. He hurriedly went to find Zhang Yuru, who replied that he also did not know where everyone was.
Hong Tao then advised Zhang Yuru to severely punish Liu Guanfeng and his Chinese Chamber of Commerce. However, Zhang Yuru insisted that they were merely allies and they had no right to punish them as long as they did not betray them.
Seeing Zhang Yuru consistently shielding Liu Guanfeng, Hong Tao leaked news of Liu Guanfeng's escape with his men to other generals. Many confused generals approached Zhang Yuru demanding punishment for Liu Guanfeng. Consequently, Zhang Yuru could only say, "Next time I see him, I will ask for details before making a decision." Others felt it was best not to say anything further.
During the day that Liu Guanfeng left the military camp, neither the new world's army nor Xiao Ke Village's army engaged in combat; both sides seemed to have agreed to rest collectively for a day. This morning, after receiving news that Liu Guanfeng had arrived at his destination, Zhang Yuru immediately sounded the Gathering Drum. Before long, all official military officers gathered in the Central Command Tent:
"Generals, we have rested for a day, and today we will continue our expedition. We aim to capture Xiao Ke Village in the shortest time possible. I only hope that our battle can minimize casualties, so I expect everyone to give their all."
"Understood."
"After breakfast, we will set out to capture Xiao Ke Village."
After receiving the orders, everyone left the Main Tent in succession. Zhang Yuru, sitting in the main seat, said, "Deputy Leader Fang, please stay behind."
Fang Tianlong turned around and stayed after receiving the instruction. "Big Leader, what do you need?"
"General Fang, you don't need to accompany the troops when we gather later."
"Big Leader, why is that? Did I do something wrong?"
"You're overthinking it, General Fang. The reason I don't want you to go out is that I need you to organize the remaining soldiers in the camp. Once you see our troops charge in, you should lead all the remaining soldiers to rush out as well. We aim for a decisive victory today."
Fang Tianlong was straightforward by nature but not foolish. He recalled that yesterday Zhang Yuru had asked everyone to come up with ideas; why was she so confident about capturing Xiao Ke Village today? He immediately thought of the missing President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
"Big Leader, does that mean Liu Guanfeng hasn't escaped?"
Zhang Yuru chuckled lightly. "Of course not. Is Liu Guanfeng that kind of person?"
"Big Leader, I understand now. Rest assured, as long as things go well on that side, I will definitely lead our forces into Xiao Ke Village."
