Border.

All the elite Special Warfare Soldiers from four war zones had gathered, amounting to a total of 500 personnel.

These individuals represented the currently most elite individual soldiers in the entire Special Warfare Camp of Dragon Nation!

Among them were Su Yuan and his team from the Third Military District.

They were fully armed, even equipped with functional glasses featuring heat detection and night vision.

Each person’s submachine gun was the most elite domestically produced weapon of the time.

"In this operation, you can only succeed, not fail! Otherwise, the state will disband the Special Forces, and you will either transfer to another career or be assigned to other departments. In short, the Special Warfare Soldiers’ regiments will cease to exist!"

This is what the instructors behind each team told them before they set off.

The encirclement mission was said to be very arduous.

Su Yuan and the others dared not take it lightly.

This would determine their future work arrangements.

All seated in the warplanes appeared to be dozing off with eyes closed, but the frequency of their chests rising and falling betrayed their tormented inner state at the time.

What they didn’t know was that they were all equipped with invisible remote cameras.

This was deliberately done by the higher-ups in the military.

For this operation was in itself an exercise to decide "whether to cancel the training of Special Warfare Soldiers."

Their opponents were those 48 fearless Dragon Aces from Longteng!

This was arguably the last defiant request from the old traditional Special Warfare Soldiers’ camp.

If the traditional Special Warfare Soldiers lost, then this sector would be cut in the future, and the state would no longer continue to invest money in their training.

Instead, a completely new department would be formed, managed by a new Hall Master to replace the traditional Special Warfare Soldiers’ regiments!

The 500 soldiers aboard the warplane still didn’t know who they would be facing next.

But judging by the nearly 10 other warplanes that arrived in succession, the scale of the operation didn’t seem so simple!

"Attention all units, we have reached the destination, prepare for paratroop landing."

A mechanized prompt sounded through each person’s combat Bluetooth device.

All the soldiers sharply opened their eyes.

Su Yuan’s gaze became fierce, and then in unison, everyone stood up from their seats, marched forward steadily, and then parachuted out of the warplane.

Hundreds of soldiers poured out in sequence, tracing splendid arcs through the air.

With cameras on their bodies, the military brass in the command center observed this battle.

Gu Feng was also there.

As the head of the newly promoted department, he had to come and see whether his 48 A-Card students had made progress or slacked off during the months he was away.

Currently, his vesting ceremony had not yet taken place, but after today’s battle, the Elders would set a date.

At that time, all soldiers of Longteng with numbered cards serving as security guards around the world would have to come back and undergo new department entry and file processing.

Some senior soldiers’ vesting ceremonies would also be arranged on the same day as Gu Feng.

"Gentlemen, we were all just ordinary people once. Without our teacher, we might not even have found bodyguard work. Thanks to our teacher’s cultivation over the past two years, we have already earned enough money for our families. Now, whether we can return to serve our nation and seek greater achievements for our teacher depends on this battle!"

In the forest, the 48 A-Card members of Longteng Group who had taken their defensive positions heard the distant sound of warplanes. They gathered together for the final pep talk and morale boost!

"In the future, the teacher’s disciples will be spread out in military camps across the nation, but we are the first batch. We bear the responsibility of pioneering and establishing the new department. Brothers, enjoy this moment—let the traditional Special Warfare Soldiers feel the fear of being dominated by us!"

Everyone high-fived each other, roaring, "Fight!"

Half an hour later.

Su Yuan was nervously moving through the woods with his comrades, slowly advancing into the depths of the mountains.

Watching them execute each offensive command with trained precision and order, the instructors behind the scenes were greatly reassured.

Li Yan, Ren Yao, and other instructors carrying out the joint mission were also watching the operation unfold on the big screen.

But they didn’t know who the target was.

Assuming it was a mercenary organization from another country that had strayed across the border, they had also followed the main forces to the front-line command camp to monitor the combat situation.

After half an hour of encirclement by the 500 Special Warfare Soldiers in a fan-shaped, carpet-style siege, the troops from the southwest region, the 7th Military District, encountered two suspicious targets.

Ratatat!

After a soldier fired three shots at a ghostly figure, his first-person camera shook erratically, then the sky spun wildly, showing only the sky, indicating that the person had fallen and was motionless!

Immediately afterwards, through the perspectives of other soldiers, it was seen how the man used his ghostly agility to move five steps in one, swiftly reaching the sides of other soldiers.

The sound of gunfire erupted sporadically throughout the woods, signaling the start of combat.

But not a single soldier could effectively report back to the command post with updates on the situation.

No feedback like the number of targets they had killed, for instance.

Meanwhile, judging by the lack of movement from their hidden cameras, it was clear that at least 90 people had lost their ability to fight!

Only through the sunlight’s projection did Su Yuan realize there was someone standing in the trees!

His pupils dilated, and he swung around to unleash a barrage of gunfire at that tree.

His surrounding teammates also collectively fired at that spot.

However, they overlooked the three Longteng staffers emerging from the bushes, quickly incapacitating and knocking out their team members.

When Su Yuan fired at one of the experts, the man performed a front flip, kicking Su Yuan’s submachine gun out of his hands.

Su Yuan instinctively fired a shot, only to watch the bullet be firmly caught by the man in front of him.

That scene left him utterly dumbfounded.

Back at the front-line instructors’ camp, they all watched the scene in stunned silence.

Besides Su Yuan’s perspective, elsewhere they were horrified to realize that the soldiers’ bullets seemed to have no deterrent effect on these people!

They not only easily dodged the bullets, some were catching them barehanded, while others were intentionally absorbing the bullets with their bodies, still keeping their composure to move forward!

The man facing Su Yuan chuckled and said, "You are outdated."

After that, of the over two hundred active cameras, all attacked at the same time, only 68 were left moving.

"Mayday! Mayday, headquarters, we’ve found that they are not afraid of bullets at all, we have heavy casualties here, requesting support from headquarters!"

"Mayday!"

"Mayday!"

The feedback finally came!

Several Special Warfare Soldiers were even breathing so rapidly that their voices shook with fear.

What had been an offensive operation now revealed that the remaining 60-plus were all retreating!

Seeing this, the Elders Council revealed satisfied smiles.

"Have you decided on a name for the new department?" the Sect Leader asked with a smile, looking towards Gu Feng.
