Rustle rustle!
As soon as Jiang Chen began to speak, the Long Ya warriors all stood at attention once more, while the other two hundred people puffed out their chests again.
"I won't say too many praises, but you, you truly make me feel very proud and very arrogant!" Jiang Chen spoke aloud.
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
"But!" Jiang Chen's tone shifted as he continued in a deep voice, "'Train the troops for a thousand days, use them for a moment,' now is the time when you are needed!"
The crowd was visibly moved, looking at Jiang Chen with anticipation.
In addition to the people of Long Ya, a major reason others were unwilling to return to the Flame Dragon Kingdom was because they did not want to retire yet, as returning would mean retirement for them.
Thus, upon hearing that Jiang Chen still needed them, they immediately perked up.
"The domestic situation is not as good as you imagine! This time you return, what you need to do might even be more difficult than what you've faced abroad, especially because in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, you cannot fight recklessly!"
Jiang Chen solemnly declared:
"This time when you return, half of you will join the security company under my company's banner, using your bodyguard identities to collect some intelligence that can't usually be gathered, while the others will disseminate throughout, establishing an intelligence network wherever our company's branches are."
"My initial goal is to create a vast and secure intelligence network within the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and then integrate it with the international intelligence network I have established to form a network that envelops the entire world!"
"The importance of intelligence, I believe you are all well aware of, and the dangers faced by intelligence personnel, you should also be clear about, so I won't go into details here."
Pausing momentarily, Jiang Chen glanced at Xuan Long and spoke again:
"You people are the first batch to return, but definitely not the last. In the future, Long Yan will truly start to fulfill the original purpose for which I established it—training troops! When someone is qualified, he will return to Long Yan and fight alongside you until the day when we no longer have enemies, when no one dares to provoke us, then we can rest!"
"This period is very long, perhaps even a lifetime might not suffice, but I intend to pursue it, and I hope our family, friends, and those close to us can have a stable environment to live in."
"So, please join me in making this happen, doing it well! Thank you, everyone!"
As Jiang Chen finished speaking, he deeply bowed to all his brothers.
The brothers all returned the salute to Jiang Chen.
"Long Yan Long Yan, protect our homeland!"
At that moment, Jiang Chen suddenly shouted aloud.
"Long Yan Long Yan, protect our homeland!"
The brothers of Long Yan roared out in unison.
"Long Yan Long Yan, defend my Flame Dragon!"
Jiang Chen's expression turned stern as he shouted again.
Shen Xiangtian and others were deeply moved, looking intently at Jiang Chen while they and the others shouted in unison, "Long Yan Long Yan, for my Flame Dragon!"
"Those who offend Long Yan shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend Long Yan shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend the Flame Dragon shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend the Flame Dragon shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend our family, brothers, and sisters shall be annihilated!"
"Those who offend our family, brothers, and sisters shall be annihilated!"
...
Watching the impassioned crowd, Jiang Chen felt a surge of lofty ambitions in his heart.
His very first cadre belonging to himself could finally infiltrate the Flame Dragon Kingdom, marking a crucial step towards deciding his future!
Long ago, Jiang Chen had wanted to have his own team. Because of many reasons, it was never possible, but now, it could finally be realized. From now on, he would no longer have to act with his hands tied, no longer having to rely on borrowing others' power!
"Fei'er, Mengte De'er, you two take the contract and go back immediately. Notify Sun Yue to prepare the personnel needed for the mining of the ore veins, and be ready to come here at any time!" Jiang Chen suppressed his excitement as he started assigning tasks.
"Yes!"
"Okay!"
Xing Fei and the other person gave a firm nod.
"Xuan Long, you, An Long, and An Feng should go back to the Mercenary Corps immediately. Mobilize the rest of the brothers in the Mercenary Corps to come here. The upcoming battle is not suited for you to show your faces," Jiang Chen turned his head to Xuan Long and the others.
"Yes!" Xuan Long and the others replied respectfully.
"Brothers, you are about to fight your last battle before returning to your homeland!" Turning to Shen Xiangtian and the three hundred people, Jiang Chen declared loudly:
"There is a group of people from the Dark Church planning to go to our Flame Dragon Kingdom to spread their ideology, using our protection to establish their followers, trying to drag our compatriots into their disputes with other international forces. Can we agree to this?"
"No!"
"No!"
"We will never agree!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their eyes blazing with fury.
"Good! Spirit You and Xie Long are already watching them. Your task is to eliminate that team of twelve people and simultaneously storm into the residence of that damn Tamwood Country King, Wu Yati, and eliminate the hundreds of Innate Grandmasters inside. However, there is one thing I need everyone to be careful about: that Wu Yati cannot die," Jiang Chen announced loudly, then turned directly to Shen Xiangtian: "Tian Long, I am entrusting this task to you. Make Wu Yati seem like he is dead without actually killing him! Can you do it?"
"Yes!" Shen Xiangtian boomed.
"Good! There's no time to lose. Now, depart immediately!" Jiang Chen loudly declared the start of the mission.
"Yes!" Over three hundred people responded in unison, then turned and rapidly disappeared into the forest.
Watching his brothers leave, Jiang Chen turned to face Xuan Long: "Go gather the brothers; we still need to discuss the specifics of our action plan with Xi'er and the others."
"Yes!" Xuan Long and his companions nodded, quickly turning to leave, Xing Fei and Mengte De'er followed them.
Watching the backs of Xuan Long and his companions as they left, Yan Hu spoke softly: "Young Master, I feel like there's something off about Fa'er."
"He definitely has an issue, almost as if he's eager for me to fall out with Xi'er and the others! I think Xi'er, Fa Lan, and the others must have noticed it too. Once we get back, they should have confirmed Fa'er's identity as well. Let's go!"
Jiang Chen nodded, called out, and turned toward the location where Xi'er and the others were.
Yan Hu, Li Wuji, and Zhang Wushang quickly followed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Jiang Chen and his companions swiftly shifted positions, soon arriving where Xi'er and the others were.
"Mr. Jiang." Xi'er greeted Jiang Chen softly on their arrival: "When do you think we should strike?"
Jiang Chen didn't reply but instead glanced at Fa'er, then stared intently into Xi'er's eyes.
Xi'er's expression subtly changed, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Let's wait until dawn," Jiang Chen knew in his heart and said lightly.
"Dawn? Wouldn't that be when their defenses are most tight?" Fa Lan frowned slightly.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Exactly, the Dark Church must have heard that we are coming and even summoned Gene Warriors to help defend. They must also think that we wouldn't attack when their defenses are at their tightest, so they are likely to shift their focus to daybreak."
Xi'er's eyes brightened: "So, infiltrating at dawn might be easier? Is this your Flame Dragon Kingdom's ancient strategy of doing the opposite?"
Xi'er looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of amazement and admiration shining in his eyes.
"Right!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
