"Mu Si, do you think... that masked woman could be the legendary Dark Night Queen? For a moment there, when I saw her figure, I could hardly keep myself from being lured in, it was simply too enticing!"

The blond man spoke again, a lecherous look flashing across his eyes.

Mu Si's expression changed slightly, and he hissed, "Shut up! Do you want to die?"

After glaring fiercely at the blond man, Mu Si narrowed his eyes and spoke gravely, "That person couldn't possibly be the Dark Night Queen. The Dark Night Queen never interferes with matters of the Mercenary Corps. Bear in mind, during the struggle with the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps, if she had gotten involved... then the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps might very well have become history!"

"This... Why is that?" the blond man asked, puzzled.

It was common knowledge among sect forces that the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps wanted to overthrow the Dark Night Angels. In the past few years, the two big mercenary groups had fought more than once, and it was only at the beginning of this year that things quieted down for a half-year due to the Fallen War God, the leader of the Fallen Angels Mercenary Corps, being severely injured.

"I don't know, but according to my friend, when the Fallen War God was defeated by Luo Sha, Luo Sha also got hurt. They probably reached some sort of understanding among themselves," Mu Si said softly.

"Could it be... The Fallen Angels also have a mysterious expert like the Dark Night Queen who has never made a move?" The blond man's eyes shone with a keen light.

Mu Si shook his head, "That's unknown. However, didn't you notice that I just said no one dares to defy the will of the Dark Night Angels, and that includes the Fallen Angels."

"What?" The blond man and several others looked at Mu Si in amazement.

"Three months ago, the Fallen Angels wanted to make a move on the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group. It was Luo Sha who personally approached the Fallen War God and told them to stop harassing the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group. I heard that the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group once had a favor owed to Huo Huade, and indeed, the Fallen Angels agreed to this request. What do you think that means?" Mu Si spoke with a meaningful tone.

The blond man exclaimed in shock, "The Fallen Angels... compromised with the Dark Night Angels?!"

"That's right! The Dark Night Angels have now become the true pinnacle of the mercenary world, and no one dares to provoke them anymore!" Mu Si sighed, exhaling deeply, and spoke again, "Alright, let's hurry up and go, or we won't make it in time for the big battle!"

"Let's go!" The blond man and the others nodded in agreement, and the four of them quickly advanced towards the direction of the northern valley!

...

Three miles outside the northern valley of Changlan City, Jiang Chen and the others gathered in a hollow.

Looking from afar at the valley, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, "These bastards sure know how to pick a location; three miles outside the mouth of the valley is a flat Great Dao, and behind the valley is a dense jungle. This is truly a place that is easy to defend and hard to attack!"

"Dragon King, such terrain is hardly suitable for a charge. Should we go back and discuss it again?" Kuang Shi suggested.

"No way!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "If we return without any achievement, the reputation that Long Yan has built up will greatly diminish. This isn't beneficial for their training."

"Dragon King, if you insist on this, are you looking to reshuffle the mercenary world?" Yan Mo asked with deep meaning.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Reshuffling might be an overstatement, but... I indeed wish that the top fifty mercenary groups in the mercenary world, aside from the other nine in the top ten, could all come and spar with us. Only through unceasing battle can we grow faster!"

Yan Mo and a few others were stunned. They hadn't anticipated Jiang Chen to harbor such grand ambitions, actually wanting to spar with forty of the top fifty mercenary groups in the world. This level of training seemed a bit too intense!

"Xuan Long, take twenty Long Ya brothers and thirty Long Yan brothers to the left cliff and Feng Lang with you. Take the high ground. Xing Fei, you take the same number of people to the right cliff, with Xue Yu accompanying you. Mr. Kuang Shi, Mr. Yan Mo, I'd trouble you to take an equal number of people into the forest behind us, with An Long and Spirit You going as well. If the Paladin Knights don't show up, Mr. Yan Mo, you don't have to make a move!" Jiang Chen quietly gave his orders.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Alright!"

Several people responded in succession, checking off the names and quickly heading towards their destination.

Jiang Chen, Mengte De'er, Scar, and the remaining brothers were quietly waiting in the depression.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

After a while, Jiang Chen's phone vibrated three times in succession. His eyes turned cold, and he shouted, "Heavy Gunners, proceed in a snowflake-shaped crisscross assault! Assault troops, provide covering fire! Snipers, take consecutive shots, go!"

Ratatat!

A series of gun flares appeared as Bao Xiong with a heavy machine gun in each hand charged directly towards the valley.

The cannon operators and God of Fortune, each holding a Fire God Cannon, followed closely behind Bao Xiong. A heavy firepower squad, comprised solely of Long Ya's brothers, rushed up in a snowflake formation.

Two teams armed with submachine guns escorted the heavy gunners, while snipers ran to the edge of the depression to set up their rifles and took shots intermittently.

...

As Xuan Long and the others made their way up the rock face and dealt with the ambushed personnel from the Flame Mercenary Corps, Xuan Long sent a message to Jiang Chen, and Long Yan's men began to take aim at the valley.

"Dragon Bro," Feng Lang called to Xuan Long softly.

Xuan Long turned his head to look at Feng Lang, "What's up?"

"Are we just going to fight like this?" Feng Lang asked in surprise.

Xuan Long, puzzled, replied, "Otherwise? It's much easier to fight from top to bottom, isn't it?"

"No," Feng Lang laughed, "I finally understand why Dragon King mixed us together for this operation! Look!"

Feng Lang pointed to some of the loose stones on the rock face, "We're up high now. The power of those stones is much greater than that of bullets, don't you think?"

Xuan Long was taken aback for a moment, his face flushed with embarrassment as he cursed himself for being dumb and quietly ordered, "Everyone pay attention, try to stack the stones at the edge of the rock face. As soon as Dragon King fires the first shot over there, push the boulders down!"

"Yes!" The men whispered their acknowledgments and scrambled to start moving the stones.

On the other side of the rock face, the same scene was unfolding.

The rock faces on both sides, originally prepared by the Flame Mercenary Corps as a trump card for Long Yan, were now being exploited by Long Yan. The biggest mistake made by the Flame's people was underestimating Long Yan, treating them as if they were a regular Mercenary Corps.

One should know that now within Long Yan, there are elite special forces soldiers, the likes of Long Ya. Silently killing and reconnaissance assassination were their strengths, and it was asking too much of the Flame's mercenaries accustomed to relying on brute firepower to match these special forces elites in ambushes and infiltration.
