"Gentlemen, we are isolated and without support in this battle, so I hope nothing goes wrong!"

Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over the special operations team and Hong Tao and his two companions. They had already formulated a battle plan, but it was clear that some of them were not very satisfied with it.

"I have a problem with that!" Ghost Fang raised his hand.

"Speak!" Jiang Yuan gestured.

“I don’t object to the entire Earth Protection Special Forces team going to the West Mountain Mine, but isn’t it a bit hasty to send the three of you to guard the underground river?” Ghost Fang squinted, wondering what gave the other party the confidence to dare to send three people to guard an underground river.

Jiang Yuan didn't react much after hearing this, because if he were a team member, he would also protest against this obviously flawed battle plan.

In his plan, the twelve members of the Earth Protection Squad would go to the West Mountain Mine to ambush the Holy Spirit Clan led by the Taishi family. The Holy Spirit Clan would bring at least four hundred Heavenly Spirit Realm Holy Spirits to the West Mountain Mine, plus ten percent of their powerful combat strength. The critical combat strength of the West Mountain Mine would be almost the Earth Protection Special Forces Squad. Moreover, because the combat strength would be scattered when going through the mine, the Earth Protection Squad was fully capable of handling the task.

Besides the Earth Protection Squad, Guiya and Zhao Ling were assigned by Jiang Yuan to eliminate internal traitors, which meant carrying out the decapitation of the Taishi family and the Zhao family. As husband and wife, they had even better teamwork when working together individually, so they would definitely be more than capable of handling the assassination mission.

As for what Guiya couldn't understand, it was the trio of Jiang Yuan, An Xiaoyu, and Hong Tao. In Jiang Yuan's plan, the three of them were to ambush the Holy Spirit Clan appearing at the Dark River location. The Dark River was far more complex than the mine tunnels, and more Holy Spirit Clan members entered; three people simply wouldn't be enough.

“Actually, I also think it’s a bit unreasonable!” Hong Tao stepped forward to agree. He wasn’t afraid of fighting, but he was worried that failure would affect the entire battle. This wasn’t just a matter for a few people, but a matter of safety for millions of civilians in the entire East City.

"I know your concerns, but I can confidently tell you that the Dark River will be the graveyard of those collaborators and the Holy Spirit Clan!" Jiang Yuan said with full confidence.

At this moment, An Xiaoyu chimed in, "Don't worry, we've already scouted out the underground river beforehand and made the necessary preparations. Three people are enough."

"Commander Jiang, how about we send a few of our men over?" Wan Gaojie asked with some concern.

“No, we need at least twelve people for the West Mountain Mine. I have something to remind you: this time, it’s not an ordinary beast tide, but the Holy Spirit Clan. Their intelligence and talent are no weaker than ours. Don’t let your guard down, or the West Mountain Mine will be in trouble.” Jiang Yuan warned solemnly.

"Understood!" Wan Gaojie nodded.

"Also, the mine has complex terrain. Do you have any good exploration skills or talents?" Jiang Yuan was still worried, so he asked.

"Report! I have the skill to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance within a 100-meter range!" Deputy Captain Kong Jin raised his hand and said.

Jiang Yuan frowned and looked at the others, asking, "Is there anywhere further away?"

“I have a 500-meter dash, but it’s easy to spot!” one teammate said awkwardly, raising his hand.

"How about this, I got a talent orb before, you guys see who can use it, let them use it!" Jiang Yuan upgraded the Stone Breath to advanced level and then gave it to Wan Gaojie.

Although the world's rules have been strengthened along with the upgrade of the Imperial Star, and the Stone Breath is no longer as terrifying as it was at the beginning, the range that the advanced Stone Breath can sense is still ten kilometers, which is enough for a small team to coordinate and complete combat missions.

"Talent Orb? There are Talent Orbs? I've never heard of them before!" Wan Gaojie took the Talent Orb with a puzzled look. He had opened quite a few cores, but he had never seen anything like a Talent Orb.

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's just that the probability of this thing appearing is very low, and you just didn't have the luck!" Jiang Yuan explained. He couldn't very well say that he had spent 10,000 Death Marks to condense this talent orb, could he?

"Thank you, sir!" Wan Gaojie no longer doubted the ability of the Talent Ball.

“You are a team in your own right, so there’s no need for me, an outsider, to direct your team’s coordination. Just keep in touch.” After giving the advanced Stone of Breath, Jiang Yuan didn’t plan to continue managing the Earth Blessing Team.

"We guarantee to complete the mission successfully!"

The Earth Protection Team made a guarantee, and then the twelve members left one after another.

"Guiya, and Zhao Ling, I'm entrusting the matters of the Taishi family and the Zhao family to you," An Xiaoyu said.

Hong Tao and the other two had already left the Tianfu system, so Jiang Yuan's command was clearly a bit out of line, and in the end it was An Xiaoyu who made the coordination.

"Be careful, and call us if there's any emergency. We'll come to your aid as soon as possible." Ghost Fang nodded and said. Although he was a very pragmatic person, he had also experienced camaraderie in battle and valued the bond of fighting side by side.

"You two should also speak up if you have any questions!" An Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

"Once this mission is complete, remember to let us know your wedding date. We still need to attend your wedding banquet!"

Zhao Ling and An Xiaoyu were close, and the two started joking around.

"Yes, I guarantee I'll invite three people!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Brother Hong, then you should protect Xiaoyu. She's suited for area-of-effect combat, and when she unleashes her full power, she's comparable to several Divine Realm experts of the same level!" Zhao Ling instructed.

"Don't worry, although I'm not the invincible shield god I used to be, my shield is still strong enough," Hong Tao joked, despite his hidden injuries.

"Okay, let's keep in touch and go scout the location first."

Guiya and Zhao Ling also left one after another. The two were going to take action against the two families, so they obviously needed to prepare a meticulous plan in advance.
