Strongest Soldier King

In the dense forest, the pursuing Bloodsuckers have become much more cautious, slowing their pace, with one person in front and others behind, forming a triangular attack formation. The person at the very front has a fierce gaze and agile movements, dashing forward at ten meters per second, then quickly dodging behind a large tree, waiting for two seconds, before dashing forward another ten meters, continuing to find a place to hide at a speed that makes it impossible to aim.

The rapid dash, sudden stop, then another dash, this Bloodsucker has pushed the assault tactics to the extreme. Luo Zheng watches the approaching Bloodsucker members calmly, his expression becoming serious. With a speed comparable to top international sprinters, just aiming would see them disappear. Coupled with unpredictable footwork and irregular dodging methods, it's hard to absolutely lock on, making it impossible to fire, and shooting recklessly would just fire blanks without hitting the opponent, with the added risk of exposure.

The enemies are getting closer, only about twenty meters apart, and with their speed, it's just two seconds. Luo Zheng simply abandons the thought of sniping, calming down, relaxing, and quietly pulling out his pistol. In close combat in the dense forest, a pistol is more suitable. He gestures to Mountain Eagle beside him with a self-combat signal.

Soon, the enemy rushes to the ten-meter position, hiding behind a large tree motionlessly, perhaps sensing danger. Luo Zheng remains still, patiently waiting. The longer the delay, the more advantageous for him. Not far away, Mountain Eagle coolly observes the rushing enemies, most of whom have also concealed themselves, possibly flanking from both sides at any moment. He glances at Luo Zheng and suddenly bursts out, charging out of cover like a leopard.

The Bloodsucker hiding behind a tree senses the charging Mountain Eagle; if not stopped, his position would be exposed to the gun. He gets angry, crouches, and side lunges towards the side of the tree. While in mid-air, he quickly locks his gun on Mountain Eagle. Just when he is about to fire, he sees a strange smile on Mountain Eagle's face, causing him great shock.

"Bang bang bang!" Three gunshots sound, shocking the Bloodsucker member internally. Didn't he pull the trigger? As this thought flashes through his head, he feels something entering his brain, an endless darkness enveloping him. His consciousness seems to vanish instantly, and he knows nothing that happens next.

The shooter is Luo Zheng. Mountain Eagle actively exposed himself to lure the enemy. The running direction is extremely tricky; if the opponent doesn't retaliate, he would be exposed to Mountain Eagle's gun. If he does retaliate, the best tactic is to side-pounce to the ground and counterattack accordingly. So, Luo Zheng anticipated this maneuver. As the opponent exposed himself, he pulled the trigger.

The exquisite cooperation, incredible tacit understanding, the two teamed up to take down the Bloodsucker, retreating swiftly without looking back, not daring to delay even a second. The delay just now allowed most to retreat a certain distance. The Bloodsuckers behind saw the scene and became furious, chasing up fiercely.

In the dense forest, Luo Zheng and Mountain Eagle ran without looking back, like hunting tigers. The sound of wind whistled by their ears. Soon, they saw Lan Xue waiting ahead. Lan Xue gestured, and the two rushed up. Lan Xue led them in another direction.

Soon, a slope appeared ahead. They rushed down the slope, discovering a river in front. Lan Xue jumped into the river without hesitation. Luo Zheng and Mountain Eagle had absolute trust in Lan Xue, knowing it was not the time to ask questions. They jumped in without hesitation, swimming furiously ahead.

The ten or so Bloodsuckers pursuing from behind reached the slope, delighted to see their opponents crossing the river. The slope was clear-eyed; there were no bushes, only towering trees. Shooting on the slope wasn't feasible, with shooting routes obstructed by the trees. If they reached the riverbank, they had absolute confidence in taking down the invaders. These Bloodsuckers charged down the slope without hesitation, as if seeing the dawn of victory.

"Da da da!" Suddenly, fierce gunfire erupted from the trees around the slope, taking down half of those charging down the slope. The Bloodsuckers were stunned, instinctively finding trees to hide and completely oblivious to the gunfire coming from above. By the time they reacted, it was too late.

The surprise attack achieved victory once again, in merely two seconds.

In the river, Lan Xue suddenly turned around, signaling to Luo Zheng and Lan Xue to turn around. Luo Zheng immediately realized this was a trap, a setup using the three of them as bait targeting the pursuing soldiers. Upon hearing the gunfire had ceased, Luo Zheng knew the ambush succeeded, elation surged, and he did not blame Lan Xue for not notifying him beforehand. On the battlefield, opportunities change quickly; discussing everything before attacking would be too late. Trust and coordination were crucial.

The three swam ashore, looking at the corpses scattered around. Luo Zheng laughed and shouted, "Good job, clear the battlefield, retreat quickly; this place is not suitable for a long stay."

"Yes." Everyone responded loudly, swiftly gathering the enemies' weapons, taking everything they could carry.

A minute later, they left the scene, marching quickly ahead. Half an hour later, they arrived at a forest on a hillside to rest, eating dry rations. Lan Xue pulled Luo Zheng to the side, gesturing to turn off the earpiece, and spoke: "The ambush just now was dangerous. Fortunately, those pursuing only had revenge in mind, their heads clouded by anger."

"Very nice ambush plan, completely understanding the enemy's thoughts, using their desire for revenge against them, combined with us three as bait. The success rate was seventy percent. If it were me, I would deploy it that way too." Luo Zheng said with a smile.

"Just don't blame me for not consulting you first," Lan Xue replied, her brows slightly locked, her eyes showing deep worry, her cold expression carrying some chilling murder intent.

"What's wrong?" Luo Zheng asked suspiciously.

"The Bloodsuckers are very strong. Consuming them slowly this way takes too much time; I'm afraid we don't have enough time. If more people join in, if Snow Bear has any back-up plans, what do we do? Even if we get the activation device, we'll face attacks from all sides," Lan Xue said in a low voice.

"I've already asked Hook to deploy manpower, which will take a few days. In the meantime, just keep consuming the Bloodsuckers' strength while watching competitors like Snow Bear. We can't let them succeed until Lang Sen's father arrives. If there's a secret passage, it's best to infiltrate the cave secretly to seize the activation device. If not, after a few days of attrition, the Bloodsuckers' strength will be greatly diminished. When Hook's forces arrive, if necessary, we launch an assault, directly encircling and eliminating the Bloodsuckers," Luo Zheng said softly, his tone resolute, carrying some confidence and murderous intent.

"That's the only option," Lan Xue didn't feel completely relieved but said nothing more.

"Don't worry, there's always a way," Luo Zheng said in a low voice, but internally lacked confidence.

"Whiz!" Suddenly, the sound of a sniper rifle faintly echoed, causing Luo Zheng and Lan Xue's expressions to change dramatically.
