Those were explosives, and upon seeing them in this context, he immediately understood the purpose of calling them here. They intended to use this Cliff to create significant trouble for those insects.
This Cliff had only one entrance and exit. Once most of the insects were let in, their movements would be controlled and limited.
In contrast, bombs in the air could instantly turn this place into a vast sea of fire, with the explosives positioned at the exit to detonate.
The insects entering through this entrance would find themselves trapped inside due to the lack of a forward path. The entrance would eventually be covered by an explosion using that mountain peak as a shield, creating a massive breach. The Zerg entering would be engulfed by flames, and although these insects had the ability to move mountains and fill seas, after facing this encounter, the Cliff would likely kill off most of them. This was a critical mission point assigned by the higher-ups.
These individuals were new members of the Hunter Team and inevitably faced oppression from the Advanced Hunter Guild. Despite their reputation for achieving what many Military-Level Hunter Teams could not, their past experiences had also earned them envious rivals within the organization, making it even more essential for them to contribute.
Each of them held a wooden barrel and gripped a timer rod with a camera function activated, allowing them to control the ignition material even from a distance. However, the downside of this operation was that their equipment was not fully prepared; those steep slopes were difficult to navigate. This was a typical setup to make things challenging for them—an unspoken rule that favored those who arrived first.
Did the Hunter Association have its own unspoken rules? Certainly. This was a workplace where people might do anything for money, and within this association, money was akin to Reward Points. Their team was the youngest and most talented in history.
This was evident, especially since they had completed two missions, one of which was a life-threatening task that everyone survived, earning them over 100,000 Reward Points as a reward.
Could others not envy such an advantage? Therefore, they seized the opportunity to take down these newcomers because once they grew strong enough, there would be no chance to rein them in. Thus, during this period, they aimed to teach them a harsh lesson about how to behave; after all, the core strength of this association had remained unchanged.
Perhaps decades later, it would be their time to shine, but currently, the core strength of the association was represented by this group.
Overall, the association clearly understood that throughout history, seasoned veterans had always bullied newcomers. Once newcomers became veterans themselves, they would recall their own experiences and vent their frustrations on fresh recruits. Newcomers were like chives—constantly regrowing without any chance of complete eradication.
Now facing bad luck, they had become those chives. And while those harvesters thought their targets were completely oblivious to their impending victimization, these chives understood that it was only a matter of time before it would be their turn.
"Is there no safety rope?"
Knowing full well that they wouldn't provide safety ropes for the task, and likely did so intentionally to force them to climb without any gear, it was a different story if they brought their own. Otherwise, they would have another reason to criticize the newcomers. However, Freyr wouldn't allow any mistakes from the team members. He quickly pulled out a bundle of nylon rope from his ring. This heavy climbing rope weighed half a ton, so even a few people using it together wouldn't have to worry too much about accidents.
The others intended to speak up, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they were silenced by the actions of their counterpart, which left no room for words. Still, they would surely find some fault later on to flaunt their authority as seniors.
Freyr instructed Xiong Tai to stay below, primarily because of his weight. The others weren't particularly strong either. Although Freyr could severely injure Xiong Tai in a short time, the gap in their abilities wasn't too significant.
Thus, while Freyr could injure Xiong Tai, he would also suffer a backlash and be injured in return. No one could be instantly defeated in such a short time, so Freyr wasn't worried about any tricks being played below. He even asked Xiong Tai to keep an eye out carefully.
Once it became clear that there was no point in lingering there, the others took the equipment and began climbing the rope. They needed to bury the explosives according to the Manual and place the Electronic Rod in a more concealed location. Although the situation was unclear at the moment, everyone was familiar with their tasks thanks to previous training sessions. Climbing the rope was somewhat awkward, but at least there were no immediate issues.
However, they needed to work quickly; finishing before the helicopter's fuel ran low might allow them to fly back. Staying too long posed significant safety risks.
With a plan in place, those below exchanged glances and seemed unable to find any valid reasons for delay. There wasn't anyone he recognized here; Xiong Tai stood awkwardly below with his head slightly lowered. The shadows on the peak represented their positions in action; now that those shadows had completed their tasks, they began descending down the rope.
They soon reached the ground where several people looked at them. The Commander spoke up, indicating, "You're moving too slowly. While things are stabilizing now, do you know what happens if you're this slow on the battlefield? I'm quite disappointed with your performance this time. Get on the helicopter; we're heading back."
The group continued onward until they reached a helicopter parked on the ground. The pilot inside held a handgun defensively; it seemed natural for him to have it—perhaps even necessary? However, upon seeing them return, he took a deep breath as the rotor blades began spinning immediately. Once everyone boarded, the helicopter swiftly took off back into the night.
The darkness had settled in thickly, but this night was destined to be extraordinary.
Soon enough, upon reaching Nipoguan, they would undoubtedly face procedural questioning.
War is inevitable, especially when humanity believes that something is impossible, only for it to eventually occur. If this operation succeeds, they will be hailed as great contributors.
