'Tyrant' Jaguar's camp is in a no-man's land, 2,000 kilometers away from the tower.
However, the troop transport vehicles were very fast; they set off at dawn and arrived at Jaguar's camp by nightfall.
Because this mission is a joint operation between the Explorers Legion and the Guardians Legion, there are two commanders.
One of them is Duan Nanping, nicknamed "Sleeping Tiger," one of the four deputy commanders of the Explorers Corps.
Because of the side effects of the gene-injecting drug, he needs to rely on long periods of sleep to replenish his strength, and he has to set aside one week each month to sleep, hence the nickname.
Duan Nanping was an ordinary-looking man with dark skin and a shaved head, looking like one of the low-level workers at the top of the tower.
Meanwhile, the Guardians were led by a Major General named Thorod York.
The Explorer Legion and the Guardian Legion have different systems.
Because the Explorers Corps frequently needs to go out on missions, a clear hierarchy is required.
The leadership hierarchy—from ordinary soldiers and squad leaders to platoon leaders and deputy regimental commanders—must be clearly defined.
However, the Guardians are different. Their leaders do not directly command their soldiers. Teams are temporarily formed for each mission, and it is normal for soldiers and officers not to know each other.
Because they rarely go out on missions, and there is no need for them to get used to each other.
Furthermore, the upper levels of the tower were also worried that it would be easy for the commanders of the Guardian Legion to cause problems by leading an army for a long time, such as becoming too powerful and controlling their own troops, so they deliberately did this.
After all, the Guardian Legion has a very low casualty rate and a large number of members, unlike the Explorer Legion which has such a high casualty rate.
Even a commander like Dillon has had four different commanders in thirty years, so there's no need to worry about the Explorers Legion's army having any problems.
Therefore, this group of Guardians was formed temporarily, with the highest-ranking officer, Thorod, as their commander.
Within the two corps, Solod was the main commander, given his rank of major general, while Duan Nanping was only a colonel.
The Guardians' ranks are higher than those of the Explorers' rank.
Dillon was only a major general, while the Guardians had more than a dozen major generals, three lieutenant generals, and the commander was a general.
However, the Explorers seemed to have gotten used to this unfair treatment. Apart from Tang Huang and Duanmu Ci looking down on each other, there were no other conflicts along the way.
After the soldiers of the two corps had assembled, Duan Nanping took a look through his binoculars at the dark mountain peaks several miles away, which was Jaguar's lair.
"It's already late at night. We've traveled a long way, so it's best not to act rashly."
Let's set up camp here and rest for a while. Our Explorer Legion will be on night watch.
"How about I send a few skilled infiltration soldiers in tomorrow to gather intelligence before we make our move?"
Duan Nanping spoke to Solold in a tone of seeking his opinion, his attitude already very humble, and he even offered to keep watch.
Of course, it was also because Duan Nanping was worried about the pampered Guardians who were on night duty, so he took the initiative to request it.
Thorod frowned and said directly, "Duan, you're being too cautious."
It's just a mutant organization. Do we really need to be so careful with the combined forces of our two major legions in the Tower?
Jaquere brutally murdered my Guardian Legion soldiers and Tower researchers; he must be severely punished!
We must let all the surrounding forces and organizations know the consequences of daring to offend the Tower!
Therefore, there is no time to delay; we must act immediately to destroy Jaguar.
"We can go to sleep after we've wiped out these filthy mutants!"
Duan Nanping looked helpless: "Major General Solod, it's not that I'm being overly cautious, but given our advantage, there's really no need to take any risks."
According to the data, Jaguar has more than 3,000 mutants under his command. Even if they were just 3,000 pigs, we couldn't capture them all in one night.
Destroying Jaguar today or tomorrow makes no difference, but gathering intelligence before acting tomorrow will increase the success rate by 50%!
"Enough! I am the highest-ranking officer here!"
Thorod snorted and said directly, "Now, immediately gather your forces! Prepare to attack Jaqui's camp at once!"
After the first round of firepower, a surprise attack should be launched immediately. While Jaguar's men are asleep, they can catch the opponent off guard and strike.
This is the optimal strategy devised by my operations staff after dozens of simulations, with a success rate of 98%.
Duan Nanping was so angry he wanted to curse.
Thorold has only risen to the rank of major general through seniority and has absolutely no experience in commanding group operations!
He actually believed the words of those incompetent staff officers in the Guardian Corps.
Everyone knows that the combat staff officers in the Guardians Legion are almost all people with family connections, so they are assigned to the Guardians Legion in a sinecure position that is not dangerous and allows them to gain seniority.
If you really let them advise, none of them have much practical experience, what advice could they possibly come up with!
However, Thorod insisted on his own way and used his military rank to intimidate people. Duan Nanping had no choice but to order the Explorers Corps to begin assembling and preparing for an attack.
Tanks, armed fighter jets, and some of the large-scale weapons of mass destruction carried by the Guardians fired a salvo, instantly unleashing a deafening roar of artillery fire and laser beams piercing through a mountaintop, illuminating the entire night sky.
It must be said that the Tower's top-tier, trump card weapons are still very powerful. If they weren't limited by resources, they could have completely overwhelmed any resistance organization with their firepower.
This was just one volley, and the hilltop where Jaguar's camp was located was almost completely leveled.
