Liu Guanfeng finished speaking and walked back, while Dai watched him leave before turning towards the temporary camp of the Golden Hammer Squad.
Liu Guanfeng went straight to his room to rest, knowing that the upcoming competition was the main focus.
The next day, after everyone had breakfast, they headed directly to the Training Ground. When Liu Guanfeng stepped onto the Command Platform, Dai and his Special Forces were already standing below. At that moment, Iron Bull was bowing his head in front of his team, while the battalion he had sent into the mountains was also bowing their heads behind him, each with a small red flag stuck on their heads.
Other teams were laughing at the Golden Hammer Squad behind Iron Bull, but none of the leaders and vice-leaders standing at the front were smiling. They all understood that a team of over forty had managed to completely eliminate a team that was ten times their number in just one day and one night. Such combat power could not be dismissed lightly.
As for Iron Bull's Golden Hammer Squad, all the leaders and vice-leaders were well aware of their combat capabilities. Although Iron Bull appeared somewhat simple-minded, he was no less serious when it came to training soldiers. Sometimes, the training intensity for his soldiers was far greater than that of several other teams.
Despite being from such a team, they had still managed to wipe out an entire enemy force in one night. This shocking display left many leaders unable to recover from the sight. They couldn't comprehend what kind of team Liu Guanfeng referred to as Special Forces.
Originally, everyone trained together; the only difference was that this Special Forces team would go into the mountains for a few days at regular intervals, returning each time looking extremely exhausted.
Moreover, these leaders compared their own teams with the Golden Hammer Squad and realized that if they faced off against them with equal numbers, none felt confident they could defeat them. Even if they could win, it would only be a pyrrhic victory. The fact that this Special Forces could annihilate ten times their enemies without any casualties made them break into a cold sweat just thinking about it.
All members of the Ghost Leopard Special Forces on the far left looked excitedly at Liu Guanfeng because earlier that morning, their Captain Dai had told them something that would make anyone wake up smiling from a dream: Liu Guanfeng promised them that if they could eliminate three enemy teams, they would receive a Ghost Leopard as a mount partner after the competition ended. An adult Ghost Leopard was a Sixth Tier magical beast, which was a dream for many people. For these soldiers who still did not have a mount, the temptation was immense.
Standing on the Command Platform, Liu Guanfeng addressed the soldiers below: "Yesterday, our two teams entered the deep mountains for competition. After a day’s time, they determined the outcome. I am pleased to announce that Ghost Leopard Special Forces eliminated an enemy team ten times their size without any losses. I am not here to boast about how great our Golden Hammer Squad is; I can only say that our Special Forces are strong enough. I hope in the coming days you will aim to defeat the Special Forces and engage in stricter training."
"Only by doing so can you survive on the battlefield to see tomorrow's sun and return home to your families. I have decided to schedule my Reinforced Battalion for competition on the last day; other sequences remain unchanged. Today is a day off for Ghost Leopard Special Forces; tomorrow we will begin with the second team's Campus Competition."
After dismissing the teams, Liu Guanfeng called several leaders into his room. Once everyone was seated, Liu Guanfeng smiled at his capable subordinates: "Iron Bull, why don’t you share your thoughts?"
Iron Bull scratched his head awkwardly: "I just want to say one thing—Dai, you’ve really trained some amazing soldiers."
Dai smiled at Iron Bull and asked, "Are you convinced now?"
Iron Bull shook his head. "Convinced? Just wait. Give me a year, and by this time next year, I will make my Golden Hammer Squad wipe out your group of Cubs."
Dai nodded. "Alright, I'll wait for you."
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Liu Guanfeng felt very pleased. "Based on yesterday's operation, I'm quite satisfied with the Ghost Leopard Special Forces. They managed to silently eliminate an entire battalion of the Golden Hammer Squad. Their actions were clean and efficient, which shows that Dai and the Ghost Leopard King put in a lot of effort during the training in Usually. Tomorrow we will face the Longbow Corps, and how to resist the Special Forces' attack will depend on your command, Du Zhenyang. Starting tomorrow, every team entering the mountains must be observed by their respective leaders. You need to pay attention to any shortcomings in future training to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Dai, your task is to lead these commanders in detailed observations."
"Understood," Dai replied after standing at attention.
Then Liu Guanfeng looked at Dai with a smile. "Little one, do you know what it means that I've placed my Reinforced Battalion on the last day?"
Dai smiled back at Liu Guanfeng. "Does Third Brother mean he wants to compete with my Ghost Leopard Special Forces?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "In the final match, I will command the troops in battle, but I won't take action myself; I will only give orders. You and the Ghost Leopard King must also enter your teams to command operations but are required to do the same—only command without participating in battle. How does that sound?"
Dai nodded again. "It seems Third Brother wants to teach my Cubs a lesson."
"Not exactly a lesson; I just want to see their adaptability," Liu Guanfeng replied.
After glancing at several commanders, Liu Guanfeng disbanded the team and returned to his room to strategize on how to defeat Ghost Leopard.
The next day, the Longbow Corps entered the deep mountains. Due to Du Zhenyang's repeated emphasis, this battalion announced total casualties after five days and successfully killed three members of Ghost Leopard.
After a day of rest, the third team, Bao Rui's Short Bow Squad, entered the deep mountains. This team was very cautious and successfully held their position for seven days under Bao Rui's strict arrangements. By the time they emerged, only sixty Five People remained. However, they had killed sixteen members of the Special Forces, making Bao Rui's Short Bow Squad the most outstanding among the three teams that had entered the mountains. Throughout this period, Liu Guanfeng quietly observed and agreed with some of Bao Rui's methods, which successfully thwarted several ambushes from the Ghost Leopard Special Forces.
After a day of rest, the Giant Hammer Corps entered the deep mountains. These massive soldiers were not suited for mountain warfare. Although they were very cautious, they were still completely eliminated by the Ghost Leopard Special Forces over the course of three days without suffering any casualties. The Fifth Battle Axe Corps fared no better than the Giant Hammer Corps; they also announced total casualties after spending three and a half days in the mountains.
Among the five teams, only Bao Rui's Short Bow Squad successfully stayed in the mountains for seven days. Liu Guanfeng did not hesitate to fulfill his earlier promise, and upon seeing his stance, all the Special Forces members were very pleased. Today marked the confrontation between the last team, the Reinforced Battalion, and the Ghost Leopard Special Forces. At Liu Guanfeng's command, the final Campus Competition began. This time, Liu Guanfeng not only entered the mountains himself but was also accompanied by Little Black and XP. Even several other team leaders stood beside Liu Guanfeng, a request he agreed to without hesitation.
As soon as Liu Guanfeng and his team entered the forest, the other team leaders noticed a problem. All the soldiers on the periphery drew their bows and slowly advanced outward. Every fifty meters, they collectively shot a round of arrows outward. After three rounds of shooting without any incidents, Iron Bull quietly asked Bao Rui:
"Little Bun, do you think these soldiers are shooting aimlessly?"
Bao Rui made a shushing gesture: "Just watch closely. I don't think Third Brother would shoot without reason."
While they were speaking, a sudden "Ah!" was heard as a person covered in grass and leaves stood up on their left side. From their attire, everyone recognized that this was a member of the Ghost Leopard Special Forces. The person lowered their head in embarrassment and pulled out a small flag from their pocket to stick it on their head.
The shout had caught Liu Guanfeng's attention; after all, this was one of his soldiers. He waved for the soldier to come over: "Did you get hurt just now?"
The soldier shook his head: "No injuries, General."
"Then why did you scream?"
"General, I was concentrating on observing your troops to see if I could find any weaknesses when one of our soldiers shot an arrow. I was startled and shouted."
Liu Guanfeng nodded: "As long as you're not hurt, you can go back." The troops continued to advance.
After several rounds of test shots, Liu Guanfeng's Reinforced Battalion eliminated three members of the Special Forces. Everyone fell silent because this simple method had directly led to the elimination of three team members.
That night, Liu Guanfeng had his troops settle into the military camp established by the Golden Hammer Squad. Everything was arranged like a regular military camp with no differences—setting up tents, starting fires, cooking, and so on proceeded as usual while Liu Guanfeng enjoyed a stable dinner.
While a few people were having dinner, the guard and the Patrol Soldier rushed over to report that two members of the Special Forces had been eliminated again.
After dinner, Iron Bull approached Liu Guanfeng and said, "Third Brother, what exactly did you do? You've already eliminated five members of the Special Forces right at the beginning."
Liu Guanfeng smiled and replied, "It's simple. My aim in shooting arrows outward is to scare the snakes out of their grass. If some people lack composure, they will reveal themselves. If luck is on my side, as you saw today, they can be directly eliminated. This is also why I prohibited using fire; if I had used rockets earlier, I believe the effect would have been even better."
"Third Brother, what if they come to ambush us tonight? I heard from my Camp Commander that he was ambushed at night by the enemy."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly and said, "I thought of that too. You all should sleep quietly tonight. I estimate that they won't dare to launch an ambush tonight."
"Why wouldn't they come to ambush us?" Iron Bull asked, still confused.
"For my Reinforced Battalion, they have no confidence. They need time to observe carefully. If I'm not mistaken, our decisive battle will have to wait until after the fourth day. If there's nothing else, everyone should go back and rest up for the upcoming competition."
Iron Bull shook his head again. "I don't want to sleep. I think they might come to ambush us tonight; I'll just sit here and wait."
Liu Guanfeng laughed and shook his head. "If you want to wait here by yourself, go ahead. Anyone who thinks they might come to ambush us can stay here too; I'm going back to sleep." Liu Guanfeng walked out of the Main Tent and returned to his small tent to practice.
In fact, Little Black had already quietly informed Liu Guanfeng about the surrounding situation. To ensure fairness, Liu Guanfeng continued with the original plan he had set. From the moment they entered the mountains, command of the entire Reinforced Battalion had been handed over to his Vice Commander, who was previously a Minor General among private soldiers. Liu Guanfeng entrusted all his ideas to this Vice Commander, and all that was left was to observe the performance of his Reinforced Battalion and the Special Forces.
The first night was as quiet and stable as Liu Guanfeng had said; nothing happened during that time. Iron Bull, Copper Bull, and Song Haitao quietly sat in the Main Tent all night. When they saw Liu Guanfeng the next morning, all three were filled with complaints.
