"Currently, this is the idea I proposed, and I am the most suitable candidate. Therefore, I am the most suitable person to go on this mission. Moreover, it would be best for the company commander to keep it a secret for now, and tell everyone after I have the results of my reconnaissance," Chen Feng said nonchalantly.
“Very good, as expected of the top freshman, you have both courage and insight. Chen Feng, I now order you to go out to the stronghold to scout out the distribution of werewolf troops within a radius of twenty miles, and report your progress to me in a timely manner. The mission will take three to five days,” Si Yuniang said solemnly.
"Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission," Chen Feng said, straightening up.
"I just got back from a busy day. You should rest for the night and set off early tomorrow morning." Si Yuniang then said to Chen Feng, without asking him to leave immediately.
On this long and tense afternoon, time seemed to stand still, and the werewolf army unexpectedly remained inactive, without launching any attack.
However, this does not mean that the situation has eased; on the contrary, an unsettling atmosphere is gradually enveloping the entire stronghold.
Through the windows of the watchtower, one could clearly see the figures of numerous werewolves moving about in the dense forest all around.
They move through the forest like ghosts, sometimes disappearing and sometimes suddenly appearing, giving people a sense of being unable to fathom them.
These werewolves seem to be observing and waiting for their chance in the shadows, which makes people feel fear and suspicion.
As time went on, this invisible pressure grew heavier and heavier.
The soldiers inside the outpost were on high alert, not daring to relax in the slightest.
They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, ready to respond to any possible attack.
A tense atmosphere filled the air; every slight sound could alert everyone.
The commanders frowned and anxiously discussed countermeasures.
Faced with such a bizarre situation, they knew they could not let their guard down, but at the same time they were puzzled by the enemy's intentions.
Is the werewolf army planning a larger offensive, or is there another conspiracy?
Everything is uncertain, and only by maintaining a high level of vigilance can we ensure safety.
"Everyone, continue training. Don't pay attention to the wolf cubs outside. Sooner or later, we will kill all these werewolves." Chen Feng continued to train everyone, some practicing stances, and some practicing sword qi storms.
However, under this immense pressure, everyone was completely focused and meticulous during training.
At this critical moment, when life and death are at stake, every slight increase in strength could be the key to determining life or death.
Therefore, everyone shares the same belief—to become stronger!
As night fell, perhaps due to the immense pressure, five battle-hardened veterans successfully broke through their bottlenecks and advanced to the seventh rank of martial artists.
At the same time, six other veterans cultivated their sword qi storms to the highest level.
This unexpected good news filled Si Yuniang and Fang Zhongda with joy, their excitement beyond words.
They knew that the progress of these veterans meant a significant improvement in the overall strength of the team, which would give them a better chance of winning in the face of various difficulties and obstacles in the future.
If most of the veterans could break through to the seventh-rank martial artist level, then even if a thousand or more werewolf troops came, they wouldn't be able to capture the No. 1 stronghold. Instead, they would bring back a lot of battle merits.
Chen Feng himself was also making full use of his spare time to cultivate. Although he could only manage to gather three hours of stance training, with the addition of various blood refining aids, he still managed to refine six drops of golden blood in a day, increasing his aura value by 0.5 points.
As for mental strength, due to his participation in the later battles, it has now exceeded 175 points, making him a late-stage seventh-grade mental master. However, the increase in mental strength brought by ordinary eighth-grade werewolves is very weak.
However, if the werewolf army's real target is Outpost One, Chen Feng's personal strength may not be of much help, but the formation master can play a huge role.
Therefore, Chen Feng cleared out his array resources, prepared some materials for setting up warning arrays, and made them into miniature array plates that could be buried within a ten-mile radius of the stronghold, so that he could sense them through other chain arrays.
Of course, Chen Feng had already reached the eighth level of formation mastery, and was only a little more experience away from perfection. He also knew some trapping formations, entrapment formations, and killing formations. Therefore, he planned to set up some formations around the stronghold during this trip to prevent werewolves from launching sneak attacks.
Moreover, there are many materials in the No. 1 stronghold that can be used to make formations. If it comes to the critical moment, he will reveal his identity as a formation master to Si Yuniang and apply for some materials to create various formations to fight the enemy.
Because if the werewolves' real target was Stronghold No. 1, they would definitely gather enough troops to break through the stronghold in one fell swoop and wipe out all the human soldiers inside.
