Chapter 185: Chapter 185 No Casualties (1st Update)
Translator: 549690339
“Could it be a mistake?” someone asked in a low voice.
“Confirmation is accurate! Update, the number of casualties for Fangs has risen to eight! The killer, a member of Fire Phoenix!”
Another casualty report subtly changed the atmosphere.
Commander Hu’s face turned from pale to red, and after a moment, he forced a few dry laughs, “The competition has just begun, some casualties are inevitable, let’s continue watching. After all, only the one who laughs last is the winner!”
As if to prove his point,
the lights on the big screen suddenly began to diminish rapidly.
The sound of the reports echoed one after another throughout the entire command hall.
“Confirmed report, Fangs Special Forces with eighteen dead, the killer: Fire Phoenix member!”
“Confirmed report, Rattlesnake Special Forces with twenty-seven dead, annihilated, disqualified from the competition. The killer: Fire Phoenix member!”
Amid these reports, about twenty light points moved across the battlefield like a sharp blade.
None could match them.
Where they passed, no one could stand against them.
Su Shanna’s complexion drastically changed as she rushed to the command platform, staring at the rapidly diminishing light points on the big screen.
In Russian, she muttered, “How is this possible? Even Country E’s most elite special forces couldn’t eliminate all their opponents in such a short time.”
Then Su Shanna suddenly turned around to look at Xue An, who appeared indifferent.
“Did your Fire Phoenix Squad bring some kind of forbidden weapon?” she asked, her face as grim as still water.
Commander Hu also stood up, his face flushed with anger, “That’s right, General Lin, did your men bring any forbidden weapons onto the field?”
General Lin raised an eyebrow and said coldly, “Mr. Hu, if you can’t accept losing, just admit it. Don’t smear others’ reputations here!”
“Then how…”
At this moment, Xue An waved his hand and then stared at Su Shanna, “Since you don’t believe us, why not ask the soldiers who died when they come down? Wouldn’t that clear things up?”
“Fine!” Su Shanna said through clenched teeth.
Soon, the dead soldiers began to exit the competition area.
When Su Shanna saw them, she was struck dumb.
All these men looked as though they had come straight from a real battlefield, their faces blank with shock and terror.
Commander Hu asked sternly, “What happened? Why were you annihilated so quickly?”
After a moment of silence, one soldier shivered and said, “They’re not human… they’re real devils! No, more terrifying than devils!”
Su Shanna frowned, then turned to look at one of the elite soldiers from the Fangs squad, a man she had once greatly valued and often trained intensively.
“What exactly happened?”
The elite soldier from the Fangs squad trembled, then said with a pale face, “The… the people from Fire Phoenix seemed like they were veterans straight from real battlefields. Our men couldn’t resist at all in front of them! They were annihilated instantly.”
Hiss.
Many people drew in a sharp breath.
Veterans straight from real battlefields?
Only those who have served would know how terrifying such people are.
But was it possible?
In ten days, even if they were sent to Middle D, they couldn’t possibly fight a hundred battles.
Su Shanna’s face also turned pale.
And just at that moment, the remaining light points on the big screen extinguished one by one, and then the announcement rang out.
“Competition over, Fangs Special Forces, annihilated. Rattlesnake, annihilated. Night Shadow, annihilated….”
Dozens of special forces teams, none spared, all perished.
Everyone was utterly shocked.
And at the same time, the announcement sounded again.
“Victors, Fire Phoenix Special Forces. Casualties… no injuries!”
The room fell into absolute silence.
“My God! This… how is this possible?” Su Shanna murmured in a daze, her face blank.
Xue An merely smiled faintly, having achieved this result was within his expectations all along.
You see, in these ten days, the Fire Phoenix had fought at least tens of thousands of wars in the Heart Demon.
Their every tactic was honed through blood and fire.
Brutal, yet efficient.
In comparison, those so-called special forces trained from textbooks posed no threat, like lambs to the slaughter when faced with them.
General Lin’s face was beaming with joy as he said to Commander Hu, whose face was pale, “How about it, old Hu? Should I send someone to fetch that jar of century-old liquor, or are you going to bring it to me?”
Xue An then looked at his watch and said lightly, “A total time of forty-five minutes! Less than an hour!”
His words echoed in the silent command hall.
Those who mocked him now all hung their heads in shame.
Su Shanna stood motionless, her face blank, and only recovered after hearing Xue An’s words.
Then she walked up to Xue An, her expression solemn, and suddenly bowed deeply to him.
“Mr. Xue, I apologize for my attitude just now, you are the true strongman! I concede!”
In the military, the strong are always respected.
Xue An remained noncommittal.
At this moment, Su Shanna stood up and looked at Xue An with a pleading gaze.
“Mr. Xue, I have another impertinent request, might I have the opportunity to witness the Fire Phoenix that annihilated a dozen teams without suffering any casualties?”
The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.
Commander Hu was rubbing his hands somewhat embarrassedly at this point, saying, “General Lin, I’ll bring that jar of century-old liquor to you in a moment, and I’ll even throw in ten bottles of twenty-year-old Maotai, but could you perhaps let us meet your squad?”
General Lin did not reply but looked at Xue An instead.
Amidst all the stares, Xue An smiled lightly, “Sure!”
As Fire Phoenix was descending the mountain, Cheng Hao was calmly analyzing the recent battle.
“Sun Ling did well just now, but he acted a bit early. If he had waited a few more seconds until the encirclement was complete, we could have finished the match three minutes sooner!”
Sun Ling nodded, “Yes, Captain!”
“Zou Yi was too impatient and almost got discovered by the enemy. If it weren’t for Da Niu’s intervention, you’d have been done for!”
Zou Yi sheepishly scratched the back of his head and then gently thumped the expressionless Zhou Daniu on the shoulder.
“Are you dumb? With so many people and you still push forward, what would we do if you died?” Zou Yi said with a mix of distress and irritation on his face.
Zhou Daniu chuckled a few times but didn’t say anything.
Along the way, Cheng Hao summarized everyone’s issues briefly.
It was a habit they had developed during the Inner Demon Trial.
After each battle, they aimed to identify problems and shortcomings, then work on them.
This… is the way to build an immortal, all-conquering army.
When they came down the mountain to the command centre,
Everyone, including the members of the vanquished special forces teams, was already waiting for them at the door.
