My Players Are So Fierce

“This tunnel is well dug!”

The brothers of the Big Bird Team quickly advanced in the tunnel more than ten meters underground.

Calling it a tunnel was not far from a passageway; in some places with enough height and width, they could even advance on horseback.

Three Five Battles reached out and patted the cylindrical tunnel wall, turning back to Meow Brother and saying:

“The dwarves really are good at digging tunnels.

Look at them, not only did they dig it, but they even smoothed the walls.

They just need to plaster it.”

“You’re silly, this is the work of the Earth Priests.

They used Spiritual Energy to dig it.”

Ring Attack, beside him, retorted:

“If you really used a shovel, it would take forever…

Hey, there’s a vent ahead, should we climb up and take a look?”

He pointed to a corner ahead, where a row of crudely crafted steps formed a vertical shaft to the surface.

Meow Brother originally planned to tell his brothers not to get handsy, as completing their infiltration task on time was the most important thing.

However, seeing their fast progress, he nodded, realizing they could definitely reach point A within the specified time.

After walking through the twisting tunnel for over an hour, even he felt a bit disheartened and stifled.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the surface through the shaft, finding it opened beside a boulder.

A cleverly disguised surface cover was made; Brother Qu carefully moved away the earth-covered wooden plank, and just like a groundhog, he poked his head out through the square entry.

What he saw gave him quite a start, almost making him fall back.

“Shh!

There’s a squad of Wolf People a hundred meters away!”

Brother Qu frantically gestured below, signaling everyone to go back down.

His heart pounding, he carefully replaced the cover before descending the shaft to tell the others:

“That’s likely a squad of Wolf People reconnaissance cavalry.

I also saw a large force of Wolf People marching in the distance!

They’re flying the flag of the Pī zhǎo Clan, I’m not mistaken, we’re operating right under the feet of the Wolf People.”

Hugging his gun, Brother Qu said excitedly for a while:

“If we charge out from here, maybe we can block a commander or something.

Damn, I’m starting to like this thing.

It’s perfect for snipers!

Shoot once and move to another spot.”

“Don’t be rash, the mission is paramount.”

Meow Brother flexed his fingers, gesturing to the scout Yan Song in the team, who climbed the shaft with a grin and cast a reconnaissance spell.

A few minutes later, Yan Song received precise information and said in the team channel:

“There are about two thousand Wolf People nearby.

Their main force is still four kilometers away; this might be a detachment, heading towards New Mejewa Village where the local Huma River has a waterhole.

I reckon they’re going to take control of the water flow.

The main force of Wolf People is large, from what I can see, conservatively estimated at no less than thirty thousand, with many, many Gnolls.

Their advance direction is towards Shadow Valley.

I saw the flagship of the Wolf People!

It’s the same guy who attacked Blackflame Mountain Pass before, the Grand Marshal of the Pī zhǎo Clan.

Damn!

Are they here for revenge?”

“No kidding, we took out so many of them.

If they don’t come for revenge, these Wolf People would really lack guts.”

Brother Black Silk asked softly:

“Anything else besides these?”

“I can only see this far.

Further isn’t impossible to see, but I’m afraid the Spiritual Energy shock might alert the patrolling Wolf People Scouts, but this is enough.”

Yan Song climbed down the shaft, telling Meow Brother:

“Shall we report it?”

“Technically, the command post allocated specific people for reconnaissance; this kind of movement can’t possibly escape their notice.”

Meow Brother said with a frown:

“But to be safe, I’ll send a message.”

With that, he actively activated the communication frequency with the domestic 007 and sent the information collected by his squad.

A moment later, a brief reply came, acknowledging receipt of the information and advising them not to engage in such dangerous activities since they weren’t a professional reconnaissance team.

Under the current operation mode that had just commenced combat, being discovered at the tunnel shaft entrance by the Wolf People would be quite troublesome.

Although they had prepared a backup plan, maintaining secrecy was still the top priority.

“Let’s move on.”

Meow Brother wasn’t annoyed; with a grin, he led the brothers further along the tunnel, reaching point A forty minutes later.

This was a deeper underground area, the junction of six tunnels, thus forming a three-dimensional structure akin to a “safe house.” As Meow Brother arrived, a group of People’s Army Vampire soldiers were organizing gear here.

One of them stood up and saluted Meow Brother, reporting:

“Captain Meow!

Your rest point is in the second room on the left, where you’ll find your supplies and explosive storage, along with an emergency supply pack for your commander.

This area will be your rest zone for the foreseeable future.

Also, do you have a Captain of the Hunters in your team?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

Old Qu, chewing a strange-tasting hard candy, casually saluted with his finger at his forehead.

The opposite Vampire Captain smiled and then retrieved an extravagantly shaped heavy firearm, handing it to Old Qu.
