Chapter 171

And moreover!

The front-line troops actually had to set up such a massive defensive formation!

Even the special-forces units had been specially recruited over.

In war,

such an outrageous thing had never happened before!

"Very good, well done."

Hearing the officer's report,

Jonathan nodded with great satisfaction.

"If that mercenary regiment truly intends to carry out a foolish operation."

"Then tonight will be when they enter our front-line zone and keep pushing forward toward me."

"So tonight will be a lively night."

"When I wake up tomorrow morning, I hope to hear the good news you'll bring me!"

Jonathan smiled and drained the brandy in his hand in one gulp.

As the supreme commander of the front-line command,

he was no fool,

and his grasp of the war situation was very clear.

After holding the press conference tomorrow, he would board a plane and return home.

So that mercenary regiment could only take advantage of tonight's darkness,

to quietly enter their front-line positions and keep closing in on his location.

And he,

had already laid down across the entire front-line position

a defense as tight as an iron barrel,

along with countless entrapment traps.

So tonight,

was bound to be a very lively night!

He planned to go get a good sleep,

hoping that when he got up tomorrow morning,

the corpses of that mercenary regiment would already be laid out before him.

That way,

at tomorrow's press conference,

he could crack one more little joke.

Smiling at those reporters, he'd say,

"Heh heh, a mercenary regiment tried to carry out a decapitation strike on me last night."

"But now, their heads are hanging right on our positions."

"God will not forgive foolish men, so I have judged them!"

On the other side,

in that meeting room in Yun Province of the Dragon Kingdom,

on the screen,

the remaining 9 members of the Silver Snake mercenary regiment

were silently running through the Gobi,

and ahead of them

lay the fully prepared front-line military zone of the Yilie Kingdom.

For nearly half a day,

the entire regiment had been carrying out this kind of rapid march almost the whole time.

Two hours ago,

they had officially entered the front-line military zone of the Yilie Kingdom,

and the surrounding terrain had begun to change little by little,

from barren Gobi desert

slowly into hilly areas with green vegetation.

After entering the military zone,

the Silver Snake mercenary regiment's marching speed slowed down a little.

They stopped for a few short rests along the way,

replenishing some food and water.

In the meeting room,

Song Jun's gaze fell on the figure running at the very front,

and his heart had already begun to tremble slightly.

Since entering the Yilie Kingdom's front-line military war zone,

the Silver Snake's regiment commander had already led his men

around at least 3 Yilie Kingdom reconnaissance squads that had come out on cross sweeps.

And 5 small outposts that might be hiding entrapment plans!

More importantly,

along the way,

not a single member of the Silver Snake regiment had spoken a word to one another the entire time.

They simply followed their captain as they ran.

And their captain,

would only glance once,

and somehow already know which routes would have Yeli Kingdom search squads,

and where an old Silver Coin scout might be hiding.

The entire mercenary regiment,

pressed onward in silence and at great speed, threading toward the core of the frontline military zone.

6:00 PM.

The Silver Snake Mercenary Regiment finally stopped in a small, concealed grove.

The whole regiment began to rest and resupply.

They had just crossed the Yeli Kingdom's outer military defensive line,

and ahead of them,

lay the tightly defended second defensive line's position.

From a distance,

patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere.

Almost every short stretch,

there would be a small outpost, or a medium-to-large base.

This would be the hardest defensive line to cross.

The enemy had tens of thousands of soldiers along with all manner of equipment and weapons.

Yet the Silver Snake Mercenary Regiment had only nine people.

In the shadows of the grove,

the regiment members once again silently replenished their food and fresh water,

and gave their weapons and equipment a final check.

7:00.

When the sky had finally gone completely dark.

On screen,
