Gu Ding's Night Raid Plan

(My brothers were really awesome today! Two alliance leaders and over a hundred monthly tickets—all my hard work today was totally worth it. From 6 AM until now, except for meals and bathroom breaks, I've spent every single moment typing on my computer. Readers familiar with me know I'm a terrible writer; my typing speed is only around 1500 words per hour, and sometimes it drops to 1000-1000. I don't like to stockpile chapters because I tend to revise them multiple times, which wastes a lot of time. I originally planned to update ten chapters today, but it seems that eight chapters a day is my limit. I'll make up for the two chapters I'm behind tomorrow. As for monthly tickets, let's say twenty tickets equal one bonus chapter, meaning I already need to add five bonus chapters. I'll start adding bonus chapters after making up the two I'm behind tomorrow.)

In front of three modified Mecha, the originally arrogant Bade was Mecha to the ground in less than three minutes.

It wasn't that the chains of the demigod artifact in his hand were too weak, but rather that his own mental strength was insufficient, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the demigod artifact, making it unable to break through the Mental Power Magnetic Field outside the Mecha and cause harm to the pilot inside.

Watching the video show Bade's demigod artifact being snatched from his waist and him being dragged away with Star Core Collar, Gu Ding shook his head helplessly. He had initially thought Bade wouldn't be caught so easily, but it turned out he was wrong.

Liliath pushed open the door and saw Bade being taken away. She was also a little surprised. "What happened? Who captured Bade?"

Gu Ding rewound the video by five or six minutes. After watching it, Liliath asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why was his chain attack ineffective?"

"These three Mecha have all been modified and have had their Mental Power Magnetic Field added. Bade's own mental strength is not strong enough to break through that magnetic field and cause harm to the people inside the Mecha." Gu Ding relayed what Sea Emperor had just explained to him.

"Indeed, true strength comes from within; relying on external forces will only allow him to be arrogant for a while." Liliath had just witnessed Bade defeat the powerful Sharp in battle one day, only to be arrested the next. This retribution came far too quickly.

Suddenly, Gu Ding noticed a detail. "Sea Emperor, none of the other members of Bade's team have been arrested, right?"

"No!" Sea Emperor quickly replied.

"That's very strange..." Gu Ding felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite figure it out.

"What's so strange about that? He thought he was invincible and could take care of everyone in the military by himself, so it's normal that he ran away and got caught." Liliath said dismissively.

In the video, fighting continues in other locations.

Many powerful Interstellar Pirate clashed directly with the military, and most of them were forcefully suppressed by the military, but a few managed to escape the military's encirclement.

The fight lasted all morning, only gradually subsiding around noon.

The captured Interstellar Pirate were all escorted back to the port. Seeing this, Gu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly. "Sea Emperor, how many Interstellar Pirate have been captured in the past two days?"

"From last night to today, a total of 368 people have been arrested."

"How many military personnel are currently stationed at the port?" Gu Ding then asked.

"More than 500 people are out gathering information, and more than 200 people have died during the capture operation. Including Emily and Sharp, there are currently 4,587 people remaining." The Sea Emperor's data is very accurate.

"What are you planning?" Liliath had a vague feeling that Gu Ding must have some kind of plan.

"Don't you think we're all too passive right now?" Gu Ding asked with a smile.

"What can we do? There are so many people in the military, and two generals are holding the line..." Liliath suddenly realized, "You're not thinking of launching a preemptive strike, are you?"

"Since we're going to fight anyway, why not launch a surprise attack and catch them off guard?" Gu Ding's idea was quite bold.

"There are only a few of us, so let's forget about it," Liliath said irritably.

"Who said it's just us?" Gu Ding grinned. "Sea Emperor, find the contact numbers of everyone who hasn't been captured yet and send them messages. Tell them it's Gu Ding. At midnight tonight, I will unlock all the arrested personnel. I hope everyone can work together from the inside and outside to launch a Night Raid and have a big fight with the military!"

Sea Emperor quickly found all the numbers and sent out Gu Ding's message.

Less than a minute later, Gu Ding's communicator rang. The person who dialed Gu Ding's number was the Magician Mien.

"Gu Ding, is it really you?"

"Mien, is there a problem?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to confirm if you sent that message yourself." Mien clearly agreed with the operation, otherwise he wouldn't have called Gu Ding's number back so quickly.

"That's right, the operation will begin at midnight tonight." Gu Ding nodded. "The more people the better, and those of you who know each other should also be notified."

"Those guys in the military haven't stopped since last night. It's good to teach them a lesson." Mien's tone was also somewhat dissatisfied. "I just did a quick divination, and the result for this operation is very good."

"That's fine then." Gu Ding didn't intend to hear anything more about divination, and he wasn't particularly interested in the specific results of the divination.

After hanging up, the communicator showed several missed calls, and at that moment, An Luo also dialed.

"Is that Gu Ding?" An Luo's voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"That's right, An Luo, isn't it?"

"Did you send that message just now?" An Luo asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"That's right, midnight. Are you coming?" Gu Ding knew that the reason these people were calling one by one was because they were worried that this was a trap set by the military.

"Of course! Those guys from the military went too far today, actually sending a squad to capture me," An Luo said, somewhat indignantly.

"That incident this morning? I saw it on the surveillance footage." Gu Ding still clearly remembered the scene of An Luo running away from the major general.

After chatting for a while, Gu Ding hung up the phone. Then, several other people called in, and Gu Ding explained to them one by one.

As it turns out, many Interstellar Pirate who had been pressured by the military over the past two days harbored resentment. Gu Ding spent an afternoon recruiting more than two hundred Interstellar Pirate willing to participate in this Night Raid.

At the port, the captured Interstellar Pirate were imprisoned in the dungeons of the Golden Eagle.

A few serious offenders like Bade were fitted with Star Core Collar, which prevented them from controlling their bodies to make any movements except for turning their heads.

As for the others, they were also put in handcuffs and shackles that could restrict their abilities.

However, most people were not asked to remove their Smart Watch.

The dungeons on the Golden Eagle were also within the Sea Emperor's surveillance range, so Gu Ding easily found some powerful and reputable Interstellar Pirate to deliver the information about the Night Raid.

When the group received Gu Ding's message, they were overjoyed. The message contained only two or three sentences: "This is Gu Ding. I have organized over two hundred people to launch Night Raid on the military outpost at the port at midnight. At that time, I will remotely unlock the restraints on everyone. I hope everyone can cooperate from the inside and outside to teach the military a lesson. Please do not leak this information until I unlock the restraints at midnight, and then I will call on everyone to act together."

As dusk fell and night gradually descended, the military personnel outside the Golden Eagle were celebrating their morning's success. Capturing over three hundred Interstellar Pirate in a single operation had broken the Long Teng Universe Country's record of nearly a century.

Walter was also very pleased, as he had indeed accomplished a great feat this time. Although the mission was not yet over, he believed that a good start meant a good result was not far off.

"Congratulations, you've done a great job again." Emily walked over and raised her glass to Walter.

"It's all thanks to everyone!" Walter said modestly.

The two drank their drinks in one gulp, and Emily continued, "I lost my temper with you yesterday because of Sharp's matter. I hope you won't take it too seriously."

"What happened yesterday was indeed my fault." Walter, after regaining his composure, realized he had made a mistake. The wisest course of action would have been to immediately notify Emily and have her rush to the scene of Sharp and Bade's battle. Bade's ability to fight across several levels must have many limitations, usually just a limited number of uses. If Sharp hadn't revived yesterday, he would likely be a villain condemned by the military, instead of sitting here leisurely drinking. Thinking about yesterday's events still made him feel a chill.

The best news he received that day was that Bade had been arrested and his demigod artifacts had been confiscated. He even drank three glasses of wine in a row because of this.

The military's lavish feast was conducted entirely under Gu Ding's surveillance. Walter and his men were already accustomed to operating under Gu Ding's watchful eye, and this particular feast was deliberately held in the open at the port for Gu Ding's benefit, carrying a nature of ostentation and defiance.

He was so bold because he was certain that Gu Ding wouldn't dare come. After all, Gu Ding's team numbered less than ten people, while his own military forces numbered over four thousand. If Gu Ding were to come, it would be like a moth flying into a flame, courting certain death.

This grand feast lasted from dusk until the deepest part of the night, when even the starry sky seemed to have dimmed.

Gu Ding and his group had already gathered at a tavern near the port, watching the video of numerous military members passed out drunk. Many Interstellar Pirate secretly cheered; the more people passed out, the fewer enemies they faced, which was exactly what they wanted.

"These guys are celebrating too soon!" Liliath laughed, covering her mouth.

"They certainly didn't expect us to dare to make a move, let alone that we could gather so many people." Gu Ding looked at the more than 230 Interstellar Pirate gathered in the tavern and raised his eyebrows slightly. He hadn't expected that he would have such a rallying power.

The second hand of an old clock in the tavern swayed back and forth as time passed, until the hour and minute hands finally overlapped at the number 12.

"Clang, clang, clang..." As the bell rang, Gu Ding typed a sentence into his wristwatch, "Sea Emperor, unlock those who are imprisoned!"

Then he stood up, waved to everyone, and said, "Let's go!" (To be continued.)
