Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 223: Our current combat power should be not far behind the teacher!
The afternoon in the East Middle battle zone.
The 52 members of the 8th team under Longteng Group, bearing the sign of the Monkey zodiac, who were employed by local officials, all found themselves besieged in a certain village town.
After two consecutive days of fighting, they had been retreating as they fought, and were now cornered in the site of the siege; some members had sustained massive injuries and could only regroup.
"Eagle is getting desperate, the Blackwater members armed in this jurisdiction have all upgraded their equipment to military grade— they’re really willing to spend big."
After receiving intelligence on the enemy situation from nearby civilians, the four aces of the Monkey zodiac group gathered to discuss their next plan of action.
Launching an operation with all their elite forces, taking down this zone should not have been difficult.
After all, before this, the Longteng Group had clashed with the mercenaries under the Blackwater Group nurtured by Eagle in other countries’ territories countless times.
The fights were almost always one-sided beatdowns.
But they didn’t expect that this battle would be tough to chew through.
Only during the fight did they realize their opponents were well-prepared and had reached military standards.
In the Eagle’s command camp, a bald colonel used binoculars to observe the village town now surrounded.
Truth be told, the higher-ups in Eagle were indeed anxious.
Because lately, they’ve been constantly raided at home by the Longteng Group.
This has made their military authority subject to attacks and doubts for no good reason!
In the past, do you know how cheap it was to occupy the oil fields in East Middle?
It only required deploying a little over two thousand soldiers and armaments.
Take Syria for example; with such a force stationed there, they could plunder and transport 70,000 barrels of oil for Eagle every day!
Take note, that limit isn’t due to Eagles plundering capacity but because of the limited extraction equipment, restricting the amount that could be extracted daily.
If we talk about the estimated value of Eagle’s plundered oil reserves in that country, it’s projected to be at least tens of billions of US dollars!
Why don’t the local officials rebel then?
It’s not that there have been no attempts, but the costs and consequences are too high.
Firstly, the local factions are fragmented and fending for themselves.
Who would be willing to invest so much in military expenses to fight against the powerful Eagle?
Moreover, it’s not just Eagle, but also its Junior Country that has hired mercenary forces to enter the region to plunder.
In the past, this has always been the norm.
But ever since Longteng Group announced its entry into the mercenary world, one after another, the countries in East Middle have hired them and signed contracts.
Once they marched in, they consecutively wiped out numerous Eagle’s forces stationed in different regions.
This has greatly enraged Eagle.
Before, losing about a dozen soldiers a year in combat resulted in limited public debate and compensation payments.
But now, nearly a hundred soldiers have been continuously sacrificing themselves in this period, and their deaths have been reported by global media, causing a loss of face for them.
Longteng even stepped on Eagle’s dignity to rise as the number one mercenary organization in the world!
The siege against Longteng’s 8th team was actually a deliberate act of revenge orchestrated by Eagle!
They temporarily shifted their focus from the Nuclear Bomb Nation’s war zone, freeing up resources specifically to wipe out Longteng’s elite team for those in the world who take pleasure in their embarrassment to see!
Recently, it’s said that Hairy Bear has made a visit to the enemy camp, apparently discussing some sort of individual soldier training program collaboration?
Well then, that’s perfect. Today’s annihilation of Longteng’s 8th team will plunge Hairy Bear and the other weaker nations close to Dragon Nation into despair!
After putting down his binoculars, the bald colonel sternly commanded, "We’re flying the Blackwater Company flag anyway, so we don’t fear public opinion. Charge into this town directly. The objective is to kill all the Longteng mercenaries, leave no one alive!"
They must eliminate the enemy before nightfall!
Meanwhile, a Dragon Descendant man disguised as a local resident used Chinese to pass a covert signal to the Monkey group members.
After entering the trench, he tore off his disguise.
Upon seeing him, the four aces of the Monkey group grinned broadly, "Old Guo, what brings you here?"
The man was none other than Guo Chao.
He shook off the dust from his hat and wig, tore off his fake beard, and while doing so, he said, "The higher-ups are worried about you guys, so they sent me to lead you out."
The four aces of the Monkey group, concerned about their pride, responded, "You didn’t need to come, we could’ve broken out ourselves. We’re just waiting for nightfall."
Guo Chao sneered, "Do you think they’re going to wait until it’s dark?"
With that said, he motioned for only the four aces to stay behind, instructing the other soldiers to go out first.
Then, he brought out a box, within which there were exactly four Qi Refining Pills. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"One for each of you. Take it, then quickly adjust your breathing. We five are going to break out and kill our way through. I’ve already scouted the enemy command camp’s location on my way here. We go straight for the leader!"
"This victory will completely disrupt Eagle’s deployment in their own country. In the future, if they want to come back in, they’ll have to look to us!"
The four A’s of the Monkey group looked at the elixirs with curiosity, "Didn’t the teacher say that taking elixirs would be useless for us"
"That was because the teacher had limited alchemy materials before. Now we’ve got departmental support, it’s different. Hurry up, no time to waste."
He didn’t wait, stuffing a pill into each of their mouths.
Then, he urged them to sit cross-legged and start breathing exercises urgently.
He stood by the door, taking the role of protector.
When the four Monkey group aces opened their eyes, a hint of astonishment flashed through them.
"I feel at least a doubling in strength!"
"Wrong!" Guo Chao knew the data better, "It’s more than three times!"
After the Club Ace broke a supporting beam of a house with a punch, his confidence surged immensely, "I wonder how far we are now from the teacher’s level?"
The Heart Ace was also filled with hope, "I watched the teacher’s sparring video with the Fourth Military Region soldiers. I feel that the gap between me and him now shouldn’t be far!"
All these years, they had used their teacher as a benchmark.
Guo Chao couldn’t help but have a wry smile upon hearing the two men’s words.
Goodness, if he hadn’t witnessed the teacher taking on an army by himself, he might have thought just like them, believing that he had what it takes to fight the teacher.
No, they couldn’t let themselves be the ones humiliated by the teacher.
He cleared his throat, "I think it’s pretty close too. Let’s deal with this situation first, then when you’re back in the country, you can try challenging the teacher."
"Alright, once we settle this, when we go back to claim our honors, we’ll find the teacher!" The other four looked forward with anticipation.
