“Then I must thank you. If it were anyone else…”

Wu Changguan was cut off by Luo He before he could finish, “Wu Changguan, any one of us would execute Mr.’s orders without question.”

“How’s your injury?” Wu Changguan asked with concern, “I remember you were seriously injured protecting me last time. But I couldn’t find you after that. They didn’t know your name, only your code name.”

“Cough cough!” Fu Fu, standing to the side, coughed loudly a few times, her face contorted. She thought, ‘Do these two think I’m dead, or are they just ignoring me completely?’

“Wu Changguan,” Luo He said, looking at her, a hint of displeasure in his tone, “If you just want to chat about this, then let’s not. I remember you said you wanted to coordinate the overall situation and prove to all of us that you’re the right choice for command. Frankly, I haven’t seen it.”

“You’re acting very unprofessional and lack a sense of responsibility. Do you know the impact your judgment will have? How many people will die if there’s a mistake?” Luo He spoke quickly. He rarely got so agitated. He wouldn’t allow Mr.’s plan to be ruined by such an unreliable person.

Fu Fu’s furrowed brow relaxed, every cell in her body eased, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her lips parted, revealing a few sharp, cute tiger teeth.

“So, that’s what you’re worried about.” Wu Changguan nodded, her expression serious. “Don’t worry, Mr. Luo. Everything has been arranged. That was just a formality.”

She winked at the slightly surprised Luo He and smiled. “Mr. Luo, you didn’t think such an important operation would really be led by me alone, did you?”

“To be honest, I’m just a spokesperson.” Wu Changguan pointed to the Bluetooth earpiece on her ear and shrugged. “Someone is remotely directing from behind.”

“And let me tell you a secret, someone among you has even higher authority than me.” As she said this, Wu Changguan acted all secretive, like a little girl, which disgusted Fu Fu.

If she wasn’t worried about being scolded by Mr. when she got back, she would have let this unsophisticated Wu Changguan know what the dangers of the martial world really were.

After a pause, Luo He looked at Wu Changguan, mainly at the Bluetooth earpiece hanging on her ear. “Is it convenient for you to talk like this?”

“It’s okay.” Wu Changguan said nonchalantly, “I turned off the earpiece when I was talking just now. I’ll turn it back on later.”

Luo He didn’t have a habit of gossiping. His only hobby was reading. But because this was a task arranged by Mr., he asked, his expression unnatural, “Is it convenient to ask who this person is?”

Wu Changguan smiled, her eyes narrowed. “Duty-bound. I can’t say.”

“Farewell.”

“Mr. Luo.” Wu Changguan called out to Luo He, who had turned to leave the tent. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “I can only tell you this: with that person here, this mission is foolproof, so you can rest assured.”

“Foolproof?” Luo He didn’t like that phrase. In his eyes, few things were foolproof, and the more people said that, the more likely things were to go wrong.

But Wu Changguan put on a very firm look and nodded at him. “Foolproof. That’s what the message I received said.”

“Let’s hope so.”

Gu Yao During the time before the assembly, Luo He walked around the camp, and Fu Fu followed him closely, constantly probing about Luo He’s past with Wu Changguan, and also saying bad things about Wu Changguan.

Luo He didn’t care about any of this. What he cared about was the layout of the camp and the surrounding security, which were what worried him the most.

He took out a map to compare. This place was less than 10 *li* away from the Night Watcher’s stronghold. Although there was a mountain in between, the other party was, after all, an Apostle, so it was hard to say whether they could be hidden from them.

Once they were detected, the attack would lose its element of surprise, and they would likely face a rare and fierce battle.

He couldn’t conveniently use his abilities to investigate here, but he roughly estimated that there were about 20 Apostles in their camp. The ones who expressed dissatisfaction in the tent just now were some of the leaders.

Besides the Apostles, the rest were military personnel. However, what Luo He couldn’t understand was whether the military’s large-scale participation this time meant they were completely breaking ties with the Night Watchers, or whether it was just retaliation for the attack on the command center last time. These were two completely different things and would have different impacts on Mr.’s next actions.

After a simple mobilization, the camp, except for a few left to guard it, gathered and began to advance toward the target location.

Luo He and Fu Fu, as the main force, were naturally with Wu Changguan. The leaders of the major families and the Dark Army also gathered together, while the remaining Apostles dispersed to guard the perimeter of the team.

Soon, they took a shortcut to a mountain stream. From their position, they could just see a few buildings in the distance. The buildings were built by the river, and not far away was a long-abandoned ferry.

This was one of the Night Watcher’s secret strongholds, and also their mission target this time.

Wu Changguan signaled everyone to hide, and then only led Luo He, Fu Fu, the leaders of the various families, and a few officers in charge to a higher position for reconnaissance.

From here, they could clearly see people on duty near the buildings opposite, and a tall tower with a huge water tank on top. A person smoking stood on the tower, presumably using the tower as a watchtower.

“This is it.” Wu Changguan put down the binoculars and said in a low voice.

The old man with the surname Huang squinted at the buildings and said in a gloomy voice, “Now is not the time. Wait until it gets dark. You make some noise outside to lure the people inside out. I’ll lead people in from behind and catch them off guard.”

“Hey, Old Freak Huang, you’ve got a good plan!” A mocking voice rang out. “You want us to take the damage for you while you sneak in and pick up the benefits. You’re pretty smart!”

“You’re farting!” Being exposed in person, the old man with the surname Huang, being a person of status, immediately became angry.

“You know best whether you’re farting.” The man wasn’t annoyed and said with a sneer, “Why don’t we switch? You lead people to attack head-on and attract firepower, and I’ll lead people to climb over the wall from behind?”

The burly man from the Xia family hurriedly tried to calm things down. “Say less, say less, just give me some face.”

“Are you two done yet?” Wu Changguan frowned. With one sentence, the two shut up. They weren’t afraid of this young woman, but she did represent the military after all, and making things too tense wouldn’t benefit anyone.
