They easily dealt with the people at the village entrance, and several small teams immediately moved forward and occupied the village entrance.
While they were securing the village entrance, the other teams were also breaking through from other directions around the village.
Although this operation was large in scale, the adversaries were, after all, citizens of Divine Land before being tried, so it was natural to try to keep them alive, which added considerable difficulty to the operation. Fortunately, the Inspection Department team was trained in many ways for this kind of scenario, so it wasn't particularly difficult to handle.
After the village entrance was breached, the entire village was like a turtle in a jar. With the village entrances in all directions occupied, a simple trapping formation was set up. Using the breached village entrance as the array eye, array flags were set up, and a large array that enveloped the entire village was thus constructed.
This formation is exactly the same as the one Tang Cheng and his group used to capture people before; its functions are very similar, only the size is slightly different.
The Inspection Department has a fairly rigorous pre-battle planning system for all kinds of operations. No matter what the operation is, this formation can ensure that the opponent's movement path can only be restricted to this range, preventing them from escaping due to some oversight of details.
After setting up the formation, one team was left to guard each of the formation flags, and two other teams were responsible for watching over the captured people. The other teams continued to venture deeper into the village.
The entire village was eerily quiet, as if no one lived there. But the large number of people arrested at the village entrance and the ubiquitous signs of life couldn't lie. The complete absence of people could only mean one thing: the entire village must have gathered together.
Sure enough, as the Inspection Department team gradually advanced to the center of the village, they saw a large number of people there.
From a distance, you can see that the center of the village is guarded by a group of strong young men, and in the middle of them stands a building that looks like an ancestral hall.
Just as the squad was preparing to launch a surprise attack with hypnotic grenades, they heard a voice.
It was the village's loudspeaker, usually used for announcements, and the person speaking at this moment was clearly a villager.
"Ahem, you guys came pretty fast. Don't think you're so great just because you took down that bunch of good-for-nothings at the village entrance. Today, I'll show you the strength of the Zhang Family."
Although the Inspection Department's operation was cautious, it was still a large-scale operation, making it virtually impossible for them to sneak in. After all, the village was a modern town with surveillance equipment of all sizes likely everywhere.
In this operation, the Inspection Department mainly focuses on detecting dangers, and there isn't enough time to check miniature cameras one by one.
They had been hoping to gain the upper hand with grenades, but unexpectedly, the enemy spotted them first.
But it doesn't matter. Even if it's a backup plan, we'll see how many people it affects.
The announcement over the loudspeaker continued, and a hypnotic grenade was already being thrown from the Inspection Department's side.
The grenade shot towards the center of the village at great speed. Just as it was about to hit the ground, a villager quickly ran to the landing point, caught the grenade, and threw it a distance away.
" Ghost Domain, want to try again?"
Judging from that person's actions, their cultivation level was clearly also at the Late Qi Refining.
After he deflected the grenade, they didn't wait any longer. With a wave of his hand, the strong men rushed out with their weapons and attacked the Inspection Department's location.
As they sprinted, their Magic Power surged, and they cast all sorts of spells upon themselves. In an instant, multicolored Magic Power light flashed among the crowd, creating a lively scene.
"Prepare for a direct confrontation."
The Inspection Department was also prepared. The mechanic threw his backpack in front of the team, which became a makeshift cover upon landing. The rest of the team had also taken out their weapons and were ready to engage.
"This is a bit tricky."
Li Xingkong, observing the entire situation from high above, also took in the cultivation levels of the people in these villages.
It can only be said that the cultivation levels of most people in the village are above the Mid Qi Refining, and there are even quite a few in the Late Qi Refining.
Although the techniques they used were still the simplest version of the Rising Sun Guide Technique, and their difficulty and the size of their Qi Sea were far inferior to those of the Inspection Department personnel, their total Magic Power power was almost the same due to the influence of the evil technique.
Compared to this place, the overall cultivation level of the Inspection Department is inferior. However, those who can enter the Inspection Department are basically all highly talented in cultivation. The reason for their lower cultivation level is that they are busy with official duties and often carry out missions.
Secondly, after Rising Sun Guide and mastering the Qi Refining, they rebuilt their cultivation on that foundation. After meeting the cultivation requirements of the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method or other complete versions of Qi Refining Method provided by Li Xingkong, they began their cultivation anew.
Although the cultivation speed is slow, the overall strength is much greater.
So although there is a difference in cultivation level, it's not that they can't fight, it's just that fighting would be much more troublesome.
Firepower suppression.
As the two sides drew closer, the Inspection Department immediately issued orders, and the snipers in the team began to fire.
As mentioned before, before the trial, they were still citizens of Divine Land, so the pills prepared by the Inspection Department were non-lethal versions, and the bullets also carried a large amount of anesthetic to incapacitate people non-lethally.
"Firepower deployment complete."
Within seconds of the order being given, the snipers in the squad had each found their positions, mostly on rooftops or other high vantage points, and then drew their massive rifles from their backs.
The snipers' rifles are specially made; ordinary people simply cannot handle them. Although they are classified as sniper rifles, they are belt-fed and look more like machine guns, making them somewhat incongruous.
After loading the bullets, they began firing.
The gun fires automatically, with a rate of fire of several hundred rounds per minute. In the hands of an ordinary person, it can only be used as a machine gun for suppression, but in the hands of a sniper, the trajectory of each bullet is under their control.
The suppressive power of such firepower on the front lines is unimaginable. The suppressive power of machine guns on the current battlefield is strong because of the large amount of ammunition they use, but snipers are different. Their guns are specifically designed to take down the enemy.
In an instant, the firepower spread out like a net, trapping the charging people. No matter how they tried to dodge, the space was only so big; where could they hide?
Many of them had donned shields beforehand to block bullets, but under the continuous barrage of fire, their shields flickered faster and faster, and soon could no longer hold up.
