A barren land, a campsite.

The entire campsite seemed rather lax, with a bonfire burning in the center and shadowy figures flitting in and out of some tents. In this wilderness, the campsite appeared unguarded.

Actually, in that unseen darkness, Satan's soldiers were already laying an ambush. If any enemy approached, they would be unable to get within five hundred meters of this tent.

At that moment, a figure darted from the depths of the night. It moved with incredible speed, bursting into the camp before finally coming to a halt and revealing itself to be You Mei.

Perhaps sensing the return of the ghostly aura, a tent in the center opened, and Ye Junlang walked out from within.

"Youmi, you've worked hard. Have you found out what's going on?" Ye Junlang asked.

Yuemi nodded and said, "Two squads of warriors are approaching our camp from opposite directions."

Ye Junlang summoned Tie Zheng, Ba Long, Nu Lang, Kuang Ta, Leng Ci, Du Yan, Zhan Feng, Wu Dao, Lao Ma and other Satan Army warriors. He listened to You Mei's report on the situation.

“So, the first to advance towards us was a squad of hunters?” Ye Junlang narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, “The soldiers who emerged from that high-rise stronghold should be the most powerful armed force in Babia Town. The entire Babia Town is effectively under the control of this armed force. It’s clear that the leader of this armed force intends to have this squad of hunters lead the charge. If they manage to get past us, it would mean we have little to no combat power, and then the rest of the armed soldiers would swarm in.”

"These little brats finally can't hold back and want to take the bait, huh?" Tie Zheng let out a cold laugh and continued, "Were both of these forces completely annihilated or what?"

"The Hunter Squad enters within 500 meters of the camp. All are to be killed." Ye Junlang spoke, then continued in a low voice, "As for that armed force, they must certainly be defeated. However, if possible, we should capture them alive, especially their leader. We need this force to work for us later and shouldn't needlessly exterminate them all."

"Understood!" Tie Zheng nodded, his voice low and solemn. "Brothers, it's time to move. We need to be quick, eliminate the first hunter squad that sneaks in as fast as possible!"

Saying that, Tie Zheng led the Satan army warriors on the field into action. Their bodies moved, disappearing silently into the dark forest shrouded in the pitch-black night, just like a group of agile and experienced hunters launching a hunt in the darkness.

Ye Junlang didn't deploy, and Du Yan also stayed in the camp to continue teaching the wolf children Chinese language and characters.

The wolf child's senses, however, were extremely sharp. With the beastly intuition of a wild animal, he looked at Ye Junlang and said, "Brother, I sense danger approaching..."

Ye Junlang smiled, walked over and rubbed his head, saying, "You don't need to worry about other things, you just need to learn well with your sister Du. Before you grow up, even if there is danger, your brother and your other brothers, Tiege, Kuangge, and Nuge will stand in front of you."

The wolf boy nodded vaguely, he only knew that besides his brother, the rest of the Satan's army warriors were good to him, treating him like a younger brother.

He understood that this was a feeling akin to familial love, and he also hoped that one day, when he grew up, he would be able to protect these people close to him in return.

……

The bonfire in the camp was undoubtedly eye-catching under the vast night sky, a blatant and unmistakable landmark.

Gerard and his men, along with the two squads led by Hawk, have arrived about one kilometer from the camp.

"Hawk, you lead the Hunter Squad in a frontal assault. My warriors will ambush them once the battle begins, catching them completely off guard." Gerard stated to Hawk in a grave tone.

The bald eagle understood this was just Gerard's way of having him take the lead. At this point, he could only nod in agreement.

For these ruthless characters who live on the edge of a knife, success in this heist means years of carefree luxury and indulgence.

Under the lure of exorbitant rewards, the Vulture led his eighteen hunters deeper into the unknown.

They had all drawn their weapons, their eyes gleaming with a cold light. Using the cover of the sparse trees around them, they crept forward.

As they got closer, helped by the bright campfires, they could make out the shape of the campsite. However, strangely enough, there didn't seem to be anyone around.

Have they all rested?

The hawk furrowed its brow, finding the camp unsettlingly quiet and lacking in any sense of preparedness. Something about it felt eerie.

"Everybody, be on high alert and watch your surroundings!"

The vulture spoke in a low voice, thinking to himself that he should get closer. After all, at their current distance, the range of his AK-47 assault rifle was a bit too short.

The hawk led the team forward for a while, about five hundred meters away from the target camp. At this distance, they could start planning an assault.

However, just then——

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One after another, figures suddenly leapt from the surrounding trees. Their movements were swift, and as they descended, blinding blades flashed through the air, slicing toward the hunting warriors.

Ha ha ha!

A burst of fresh blood shot into the air, filling the forest with a pungent metallic smell.

The hawk's face turned pale, he was about to open his mouth to say something when, unexpectedly, a towering figure dashed out from the bushes on his left. With one charge, it slammed into the hawk, sending him flying backward, crashing into a tree behind him.

This burly figure crept up behind him, seizing the eagle's throat with a hand and twisting violently. A sickening "crack" echoed as the eagle's windpipe broke.

Krad Tower let go, turned his head, and charged at the other hunters again.

In the blink of an eye, the entire squad of hunter warriors was wiped out. They didn't even have time to react, let alone fire a shot.

Faced with the ambush by Satan's army soldiers, they were indeed powerless to resist.

Tie Zheng and his ten or so Satanist warriors appeared. He whispered into his earpiece, "You Mei, the operation here is over. You can begin your actions now."

"Got it!"

Through the headset, came that ghostly reply, cold and chilling.
