All four General Managers were elite warriors at the Transformation Void Martial Stage. And if two other Transformation Void Martial Stage warriors were next to Commander Chen, then he would have six elite warriors at the Transformation stage!
Besides this, all four General Managers had four or five Refined Void Martial Stage warriors. Plus the two Refined elite warriors next to Commander Chen, the total number would not be less than twenty!
Of course, Bao Bao and Lone being the two Refined Void Martial Stage were not included.
Bao Bao mumbled: "Good riddance, one at the Profound Void Martial Stage, six Transformation warriors and about twenty at the Refined Stage! There are also more than twenty Perfect Stage of the Spiritual Martial Force. The remaining ones are all at the Advanced Stage. If such level of combat ability were placed in the human countries, it would be enough to make one faint just hearing it."
Without a doubt, such strength would make them number one hegemon if put in the human countries. And they would have an absolute unchallengeable authority.
All these powerful people had gathered together for one mission, to attack some powerhouse in a state in the Xuan Yuan Mound.
It was apparent that compared to the human countries, the power of the Xuan Yuan Mound was a world of difference!
"Boss, if the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan do not have any trump cards and only have two Transformation elite warriors, then this will be a tough battle."
Bao Bao"s words was also true. Even if the Hundred Leaf Qin had the terrain advantage, if there was a great difference between power, it would be an extremely difficult thing to face a group of wolf and tiger-like invaders. One could say that it would be equal to striking an egg with a stone.
"Third, as a rich and powerful clan that has stood for these many of years in the Hundred Leaf State, not to mention they had hold the rights to the mines, I would not believe if they do not have any trump cards. I believe that Commander Chen must have antic.i.p.ated that the Qin Clan would have some trump cards. Most likely everyone who is partic.i.p.ating in this mission knows about it!"
Lone also nodded: "Boss is right, if they didn"t have any trump cards, I can"t imagine how the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan would remain in control of the mine and no one would target them. Even if they have the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan as their backer, could it be that for these many years, no one has plotted against them? For sure they"ve got trump cards."
"Let"s act according to situation, any guesses made at the moment would be premature." Qin Wushuang also knew that at this point, there was no use rus.h.i.+ng as they must consider each step taken, "I believe that everything will come to a conclusion after their meeting."
The three of them stopped their discussions. They only chatted about some of the peculiar things that goes on at the Orderly Mountain prefecture.
After about two hours, that General Manager Su walked out from the tent of Commander Chen. He immediately called all the members of his team after he had walked out.
"Everyone please come out, Commander Chen would like to speak with you guys."
Naturally, no one dared to be absent from Commander Chen"s summons. The majority who had partic.i.p.ated in this mission were freelance martial artists and did not have any supporting powerhouses. How would they dare to offend an elite warrior like Commander Chen? Even those with the most unyielding personality would not dare to act outrageously.
Everyone quickly a.s.sembled in the open s.p.a.ce outside Commander Chen"s big tent.
The four General Managers all had twenty people each under them. Plus the five from Commander Chen"s team, there were only eighty-five people in total for this mission!
Commander Chen glanced around with satisfaction and smiled casually: "I see hope in your eyes. There is no fear, no hesitation in your gazes. What you do have is the longing for battle. I need this motivation in all of you! Everyone here are experienced people, I believe that, more or less, you"ve experienced life and death situations. Thus, I will not say anything more. Before our departure, we must lay down some rules!"
"There is the old-saying of how without rules, there would be no boundaries. A team would not function without rules. Thus, I have a few here."
When Commander Chen spoke up to this point, suddenly, his pleasant countenance vanished from his face. Instead, it was filled with coldness. He glanced around another time and spoke again.
"The first rule is that you cannot neglect your efforts, nor can you run away from the frontline. Let"s suppose that even if our battle does not go well and when it is necessary to retreat, you must not escape on your own and abandon your team. You can only retreat under the instructions of the General Manager. Whoever tries to escape on their own without instructions, or disrupts the spirit of the team, all General Managers will have the authority to carry out the execution!"
"To put it simply, the person who violates the first rule, death!"
Commander Chen spoke with a rigid tone that carried an unquestionable authority. Although his words sounded tyrannical and the rules were somewhat dominant, however, it sounded like a golden rule coming from his mouth. It did not allow others to object.
"The second rule, since we are all here, we are comrades in the same battle. There will not be any internal struggles allowed, and it"s absolutely forbidden to harbor any wicked thoughts or plot against each other if you notice that your comrades have better equipment or weapons. The one who violates this second rule, still the same word—death!"
The rule was rather fair and reasonable. It helped many people to lessen their worries. In fact, they had been somewhat restraining their fear in partic.i.p.ating this mission.
Although it might be one thing to restrain their fear of the power of Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, it was another matter to staying alert against the evil schemes from their comrades.
After Commander Chen had finished declaring this rule, he curled down his third finger and said slowly: "For the third rule, everyone will receive the amount of rewards equal to their contributions in the a.s.sault on the Qin Clan. One must never take credit for others" contributions. If one is reported for stealing credit, your rewards will be canceled!"
To some extent, this rule protected the profits of each person who had partic.i.p.ated in this mission.
Naturally, this arrangement received the support from the majority. Inwardly, they became more expectant toward this mission.
After all, these rules appeared formal. The more formal it was, the more rea.s.sured it would make one feel.
At this point, Qin Wushuang could not help but feel impressed at Commander Chen"s methods. It was using both gentle methods and force. When it was time to showcase his personal charm, he appeared like a gentleman. When it was time to be the evil person, he could also let go of his previous charm.
Indeed, such person was a ruthless character.
"The fourth rule is the best one. For this mission, each General Manager will manage their own team. During individual movements, the General Manager will be the highest ranking position and the person that gives orders in each team. Everybody must execute the orders from the General Managers! And the four General Managers will directly receive orders from me. The highest command will be given out by me. Whoever resist, regardless of who you are, kill without mercy!"
When Commander Chen said that, he glanced across the entire area with eagle-like eyes. Then, he asked in a stern voice: "Do you hear me clearly? Voice your questions now if you have any!"
The entire scene was filled with absolute silence as not a single sound emerged.
Commander Chen was extremely satisfied as he nodded: "Alright, the rules are the rules, it"s the things that all our team must have. With rules, we will follow it. Next, General Manager Su will talk about the details."
Commander Chen also valued that General Manager Su. Among the four great General Managers, Su was the most meticulous and had offered the most strategies.
General Manager Su nodded and stepped up without holding back. He said in a clear voice: "Everyone, a moment ago Commander Chen discussed the general attack plan with the General Managers. We will not announce the exact attack plan. However, we can share some of the details. At the same time, we will let everyone prepare mentally."
"According to the information, on paper, the Hundred Leaf Qin only has two Transformation warriors and six Refined warriors. Of course, this is only their strength on the surface. After our discussion, we all felt that the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan should have more trump cards. Regardless, even if their trump cards has double the strength of their supposed strength, we still hold a suppressive advantage!"
General Manager Su pointed to Commander Chen and spoke with a clearly flattering tone: "With Commander Chen, an elite warrior at the Profound Void Martial Stage overseeing this a.s.sault, it is not worth considering regardless of their powerful trump cards. At the same time, we also have the upper hand over elite warriors at the Transformation Void Martial Stage. As for those at the Refined Stage, we have a greater number than the Qin. Thus, for this battle, if we are comparing the most obvious strength on the surface, we hold the obvious advantage."
Commander Chen nodded with satisfaction and was content with General Manager Su"s tone.
Qin Wushuang listened attentively. He didn"t expect that these people in charge was willing to admit that the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had trump cards. However, he understood after some thought.
The more they behaved like this, the more they could gain everyone"s trust. Additionally, the more it would show their confidence.
"Everyone, the advantage in strength does not mean everything. Power would only mean that we have a greater chance at winning under the circ.u.mstance in which we unleash the same performance. However, the actual win and loss will depend on how we arrange our attack. This time, we have come up with many ways to attack the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. You don"t need to know the exact plan, you will only need to remember to listen to your team leaders. You must carry out the orders when it is given!"
Commander Chen also could not help but keep nodding as he listened to General Manager Su"s words. Seeing Commander Chen"s approval, General Manager Su also gained more confidence as he said: "Everyone, victory is right before us, I hope that we will all remain alert and gather your energy. Remember, only victory will garner you any reward."
Suddenly, Commander Chen smiled as followed up by saying: "If the rewards are the only bargaining chips that attracted you to this mission, then the next promise would perhaps, make you go crazy!"
There were more rewards?
As soon as he spoke about it, almost everyone at the scene stirred as they paid even closer attention.
Apparently, Commander Chen had expected everything. He said in a clear voice after a moment of pause: "After we break into the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, you are free to loot their castle. Whoever finds some good things, they own it! You are not allowed to open the Qin Clan"s secret treasure chamber and crystal mine, but besides that, you are allowed to do whatever you want!"
Instantly, it caused a roar of cheers. Commander Chen meant that he was allowing everyone to loot freely. Indeed, this promise was like a shot of stimulation and caused each person"s face become fierce. Their blood also started to boil.
As Commander Chen had mentioned, indeed this promise was enough to make everyone go crazy. For sure the big Qin Clan would have a lot of good treasures. If they were free to loot, most likely they would gain more than those rewards. If they were lucky, they could make a tremendous amount of easy money!
