It's All Right, It's All the Same / Bold People Are Highly Skilled

However, she hadn't anticipated that Wei Yenwu would be able to mobilize the army!

Does the Yan court really trust him that much!?

No, it's just that this time, Wei Yenwu used the Catastrophe report as a starting point to investigate the movements of Saint Petersburg in advance... Moreover, there just happens to be someone inside Lungmen who can act as a military supervisor at this moment.

Although she might not be able to defeat Wei Yenwu at all, this showed her attitude, and Wei Yenwu naturally had to be sensible.

The outer city wall.

Beneath the red robe, a few strands of gold thread danced in the air amidst the gunfire.

"To actually use infected as forwards... Ursus has fallen to this level."

The other two men in red robes chimed in, "Infected individuals are never stable. If one of them suddenly dies in the military, there's a good chance it could trigger a riot."

"I think Lord Lin's point about depravity is a critique of the Ursus people's morality? After all... how is this any different from driving the old, weak, women, and children?"

It turns out that those clinging to the city walls were not only Sarkaz mercenaries, but also a large number of refugees.

More accurately, it is the Sarkaz mercenaries who are urging the refugees to their deaths.

Strangely... Hedley and Ines were not there.

When will you Sarkaz ever stop?

So you're going alone again?

Meanwhile, at the free clinic.

"Please follow the operators to the surrounding buildings for shelter!"

"Keep order!"

"If necessary, we will use force!"

Driven by their conscience and Rhodes Island's traditions, the operators protected the ordinary citizens at the free clinic during this most critical moment.

In the crowd, there was a pair of familiar bear ears.

This made Oute a little uneasy: Well... fine, it's all the same.

Through Huang's body, Oute commanded, "Sniper operators, return to the arrow emplacements. Heavy operators, maintain order."

Chapter 125 It's okay, it's all the same.

One of the things Oute hates most is micro-management; the other is actually having to use all the things he's prepared for unexpected situations.

Now, two troubles have come knocking at the same time.

The internal divisions and individualism within the Sarkaz mercenary group transformed the seemingly trivial task of "securing Misha" into a farcical and brutal spectacle.

The slums, now governed by an administrative body that is not yet fully established, are far quieter than when Skullshatterer, W, and others abducted Misha from the slums in the original story.

Now, however, it is much noisier because of the cannon fire from the city walls.

"Doc Otter?" Amiya looked at Oute, awaiting his decision.

"Mission objective secured, return to base."

Meanwhile, while using "fighting as training," watching Lungmen become new prisoners... the Meteorite who was adding bricks and mortar to the Reeducation Center received another telepathic message: "Use this opportunity to screen out some rioters, don't go back to defend."

It's unclear Misha Oute the news on the roadside, happened to be coming for a job interview today, or if her condition suddenly worsened... In any case, this white-haired Ursus bear girl voluntarily arrived at the office.

Along the way, Oute explained the situation to Amiya: "Since we have already taken control of the slums, the difficulty of the Reunion Movement's infiltration has greatly increased. Given the lack of manpower, even the Reunion Movement within Lungmen knows that its strength is completely insufficient to pose any real threat to the office."

"Then why are they attacking?" Amiya asked. "It's just suicide."

After a long pause, Oute finally replied, "No one of sound mind would believe the information just broadcast by the drone. The sound of artillery fire was so clear that perhaps later they could use excuses like bombarding a Catastrophe cloud to fool the public. But right now, only a self-deceiving minority would believe the drone's nonsense."

Amiya suddenly realized, "The Reunion Movement, which was able to infiltrate Lungmen, certainly wouldn't believe it!"

Oute nodded and said, "In other words, once the gunfire begins, those with a modicum of intelligence, but not entirely, will think they've seized the perfect opportunity and launch a fierce attack on the office."

What Oute didn't tell Amiya was that what probably prompted them to make up their minds was the excellent human shield provided by the Lungmen poor.

Regardless of who Oute is, Rhodes Island's stance undoubtedly leans towards truth, goodness, and beauty. And for such a good person... a tried-and-true method is to lure civilians into the battle.

Fortunately, there were enough ordinary people at the free clinic.

They've actually introduced a "troublemaker system" in Lungmen?!

However, for Oute, it would be good if he could protect them, but he wouldn't force himself to protect the civilians if he couldn't...

And the figures of Oute and his group were so conspicuous as the drones urged the public to return indoors.

In the alley, a group of thugs, who had just reverted to their white-faced forms, burst out noisily, led by a Reunion Movement sorcerer.

Upon seeing Oute and his group, they were initially taken aback, but immediately some of them broke away from command and launched an attack on Oute and his group—even though the Reunion Movement had no idea that "Liberi" was the "second target."

"Come back here!" their commander shouted.

After all, this group mostly consisted of women who seemed powerless. These infected thugs were completely unable to contain their brutality.

Seeing that they were completely out of control, the enemy commander cursed loudly and then ordered, "Damn it! Forget it! Charge!"

The masked thugs who hadn't yet charged also began their attack.

This squad consisted mainly of inexpensive melee infantry, with a few archers and crossbowmen scattered at the rear.

The configuration was quite unreasonable, and there was a significant lack of training.

Considering that no one would willingly send inexperienced troops on infiltration missions... they are probably mostly from Lungmen.

"In this situation, don't prolong the battle, otherwise more and more people will notice," Oute instructed. "Within the intermittent sounds of artillery fire, the battle noise won't travel very far. When I count to one, focus fire on that sorcerer."

In this particular example, activating the warlock/commander only serves the former purpose: clearly, his forces are completely out of control.

"... two, one."

As the relentless countdown of the Oute ticker timer continued, the cannons on the city wall roared once more.

Black lines were released from Amiya's hand, and the white-masked sorcerer was knocked to the ground before he could even cast a single spell.

Looking at the sorcerer's still heaving chest, Oute glanced at Amiya and then sighed.

Being overly concerned about the lives of "enemies" is fine in small skirmishes...

He waved his hand lightly, and arrows, like a gentle stream, washed over the ranged units at the far end of the enemy ranks. Heavy operators raised their large shields and slowly approached, while the guards had already silently slipped into the shadows.

A distance of less than 100 meters is extremely dangerous in such a firefight. If orders were followed to concentrate fire on the enemy's ranged units, then...

Savoring the sudden surge of power within them, the sniper operators followed the orders transmitted by Oute through their mental link and released their arrows. Not a single one acted on their instinct for self-preservation.

Therefore, the enemy melee fighters who charged straight at the front line were ignored by this volley of arrows.

"Amiya, there are some basic principles for urban warfare."

Oute said, "Use ranged attacks to fight melee attacks, and melee attacks to fight ranged attacks."

However, this is almost entirely contrary to his decision.

Judging from the little rabbit's subtle expression, she was probably suppressing the urge to make sarcastic remarks.

"These decisions are the most fundamental, and therefore the safest," Oute emphasized loudly. "Not all units are as elite as our operatives!"

Why are you yelling so loudly?

Several heavily armored operators stepped up without hesitation. Through Specter's eyes, Oute could tell that they seemed to enjoy his praise.

It's just a matter of using your mouth, and it's incredibly convenient and cost-effective!

"Orders that go against a soldier's instincts will be questioned by that instinct," Oute concluded. "If a commander forces an order that has been questioned through his authority, its implementation will be highly questionable."

Amiya, clutching the magic spell in her hand, stood guard closely beside Oute, together with Specter.

She responded, "In other words, the correct command cannot be executed correctly..."

This way of phrasing it isn't quite right. If this squad weren't composed of operators with a certain emotional connection to Amiya, but rather the "Deepwinter Soldiers" in training, some people would definitely feel uncomfortable.

By speaking like that, isn't the commander shifting the blame onto the ordinary soldiers?

Oute shook his head and said, "An unfulfillable command doesn't need to become an error."

"It is wrong in itself."

The complexities of reality mean that all teachings inevitably carry a hint of "Why are you saying everything?"

But you have to eat one bite at a time.

Chapter 126 The Bold Man, Gao Yi

A war machine with a complete command chain and well-trained combat units, versus a group of masked thugs... This is hardly a battle.

Amiya and the sniper operators used pinpoint fire and concentrated fire to take down the enemy's brains from the very beginning. Several heavy operators, with support from the rear, occupied several key points, controlling the throat of this street.

The scattered soldiers suddenly found themselves facing a high wall drawn with arrows and forged from iron towers.

But in that moment of heightened passion and impulsiveness halfway through their charge, a question arose: Where's our sniper?

All of this happened so fast that the masked thugs caught in the middle of it didn't even have time to consider retreating... The Guardian Operators had already used the alleyways and high walls to cut off their escape routes.

Oute explained, "Blocking the enemy's retreat is also a tactical choice that is not recommended."

Why do you keep resorting to unorthodox methods?

"Huh?"

"If you deploy Guardian Operators on their flanks, that's the classic hammer-anvil tactic." Oute pointed to the Heavy Operators: "This tactic is very classic, but it's actually more suitable for large-scale operations."

"Some may rigidly claim that only cavalry can use the original hammer and anvil tactic, but with different hammers and anvils, it can have many variations."

"But its core elements remain unchanged: the anvil holds the line, the hammer breaks through."
