My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1423: Situation Assessment

"Is everyone here?"

Wu Guangzu saw that everyone was gathered around a large round table, and at this moment, it wasn’t just any ordinary item on the table, but rather a battlefield map constructed with real objects.

This was clearly a topographic map of the Assassin Group’s region. Every day for the past few days, Wu Guangzu had been going out with Xiao Feng to clearly sketch out the detailed terrain map from here to the Assassin Group’s territory.

This would be advantageous for the upcoming attack; otherwise, with five hundred people, it wouldn’t go unnoticed, and it would be bad if they were discovered and our enemies took precautions beforehand.

Wu Guangzu estimated that currently, the unprepared Assassin Group had at most just over a thousand people, but all of them were strictly trained, and with three Celestial Dao Seven Star experts, after meticulous planning, and with the Special Assassination Team sneaking in from the Forbidden Land, the chances of success were very high.

"Everyone, take a look. This is the stronghold we’re located at; if the main force marches, it’s roughly half a day’s journey to the Assassin Group, so we must depart early and ensure sufficient rest. Otherwise, exhaustion will lead to defeat before the battle even begins."

Wu Guangzu pointed at the map and spoke.

"Behind the Assassin Group there’s a cave; this cave is the exit from our Assassin Group’s Forbidden Area. I will lead the Special Assassination Team to enter from here, while the rest of the troops will be commanded by Deputy Captain Xiao to attack from the front. Once we signal, you all start attacking. But prior to that, remain passive, only feign attacks to focus all their attention on defense. At that moment, we can seize the opportunity to eliminate their rear forces and capture the Assassin Group in one swift move."

Wu Guangzu became very passionate at this point, clearly everyone was excited upon hearing this plan.

"Haha, great strategy! I never expected that despite my years of experience in warfare, I would be outdone by you, a youngster without any military experience. Truly, the Yangtze River waves keep pushing forward and we are getting old."

Xiao Feng, believing the plan was excellent, couldn’t help but sigh.

"Haha, not at all. Captain Xiao is being humble; we’re merely scratching the surface." Wu Guangzu always maintained humility and felt a bit embarrassed seeing Xiao Feng praising him so much.

Everyone laughed heartily, expressing full confidence that, barring any unexpected incidents, victory was certain. However, no one dared to guarantee absolute success.

The world is full of uncertainties, so it’s essential to prepare thoroughly; otherwise, in the event of failure, it will lead to total annihilation, given Kuang Chenggong’s forces are stationed all over the country and can quickly come to aid.

Therefore, the attack must be swift and not drag on; strategies are essential since relying on brute force isn’t viable.

"For the next few days, everyone needs to focus on training. We depart for the Assassin Group the day after tomorrow. According to the plan, we divide into three teams to avoid suspicion due to large numbers and regroup at the foot of the Assassin Group. Also, during the journey, dress normally; armor and weapons will be transported separately in three batches ahead of time."

Chen Tianlong finally laid out the plan, preparing everyone psychologically.

After hearing, everyone nodded in agreement. After the meeting, each squad leader went back to share the message, but only in broad strokes. Specific arrangements and strategies remained undisclosed.

Who knows if there’s a traitor among us? People’s hearts are unpredictable, so vigilance is necessary. Wu Guangzu cannot afford to lose; if he fails this time, there would be no chance of redemption.

After everyone left, Wu Guangzu gazed at the sky, now thinking about another person, someone who had been like a brother to him for over two years—Chen Tianlong.

"Chen Tianlong, where are you? I miss you so much. If you were here, partnering with me, I would feel more at ease. Alas, there’s no news from you."

Wu Guangzu suddenly felt a pang of sorrow; this junior disciple was entrusted to his care by their master, but now he couldn’t even find a trace of him, leaving him uneasy.

Within the Assassin Group.

Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting were cuddling in sleep, unaware that night had fallen.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong felt it was time to act, so he instructed Mengting to wait there. Mengting understood that scouting military intelligence wasn’t for fun and the more people, the easier it was for the enemy to discover.

Thus, she nodded in agreement, deciding to stay inside the cave and wait.

The Wu Mengting of today was vastly different, with her strength ranking as top-tier in the Mortal Realm. In any battle, unless she lingered, escaping was no issue, which reassured Chen Tianlong greatly.

Before long, Chen Tianlong arrived at a small tree beside the central plaza of the Assassin Group. Just as he intended to proceed, a sudden beam of light flashed across, making Chen Tianlong retract quickly.

It turned out that a military lookout tower was established at the central plaza.

However, such lookout towers are common in formal military camps, so Chen Tianlong wasn’t too surprised.

Nevertheless, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Chen Tianlong; during the daytime, it seemed no one was stationed on the tower, likely believing that no one would sneaking into the Assassin Group then.

This was also due to Kuang Shengtian and his son’s overconfidence.

After the battle with Wu Guangzu and Xiao Feng, unable to defeat them, Kuang Shengtian returned to the Capital City for a while.

After resting for a few days, he considered the Assassin Group to be quite important, so he brought several hundred samurai to guard it. Moreover, the Assassin Group inherently contained an abundance of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so Kuang Shengtian took the opportunity to train the Kuang Family’s Phantom Divine Skill there.

Recently, he had reached the limit of Celestial Dao Great Perfection and felt almost on the verge of breaking through to Extreme Dao, but repeatedly failed to surpass it.

This is entirely thanks to the Kuang Family’s pills. Pills like Qi Gathering Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill can be collected from all over the country anytime as long as you have money, so upgrading should not be a problem.

The key is that if your upgraded strength is not consolidated, it will not work. In other words, you can upgrade, but once you reach a certain level, you become saturated, and no matter how many Super Qi Gathering Pills you take, you won’t break through.

The reason is simple, your strength isn’t consolidated. To break through to the next level, your current level of strength must be stable. Otherwise, there would be no issue with strength, just collect Qi Gathering Pills and gobble them up daily to become invincible.

Therefore, Kuang Shengtian went up to the heavens earlier to consolidate his strength and is now training in his room.

He doesn’t plan to come out these few days either. Kuang Shengtian specifically ordered food to be delivered and instructed not to disturb him unless it’s something important.

Chen Tianlong examined the surroundings for a while and, finding no patrol soldiers, decided to incapacitate the soldier at the watchtower later.

With his golden finger, he can see every corner of the Assassin Group with closed eyes, provided he finds a good position. The watchtower happens to be in the center of the Assassin Group’s plaza, making it the best observation point.

With a swift movement, he arrived below the watchtower, crouched down, and leapt up with effort, swiftly flying up and grabbing onto the tower’s edge.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong looked at the person and unexpectedly found him snoring. So he smiled slightly, and with a leap, he was on the tower’s top.

Since this soldier was asleep, Chen Tianlong couldn’t be bothered to hurt him and simply pressed his sleep acupoint to let him sleep through.

This way, when he wakes up, he won’t have any suspicions. So Chen Tianlong made a quick move, touched him lightly, and saw the sentinel soldier fall into a deep sleep.

After dealing with the sentinel, Chen Tianlong didn’t waste any time, directly utilizing the Condensing Power Technique, quickly sweeping through the surroundings with closed eyes.

He was amazed to find that the Assassin Group’s troop strength was poor, with over a thousand soldiers.

Some generals and leading figures included, totaling around thirteen hundred or so people.

They set up pavilions halfway up the mountain, most of the troops guarding the mountain entrance, probably because the Assassin Group only has one exit, so other places have sparse troop deployment.

Generally, around ten people.

Chen Tianlong roughly understood the troop distribution and memorized it in his mind.

Next, it’s essential to know their armory. As long as the armory is dealt with, it doesn’t matter how many people they have. Without weapons, could they fight with bare hands? Surely they would be routed.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong leapt down, landing very lightly, showing his Lightweight Skill is at its pinnacle, perfected.

No wonder, when people reach this stage, their Lightweight Skill also evolves; after Celestial Dao Seven Stars, normal Celestial Dao Seven Stars experts can remain in the air for tens of seconds, or even more.

Upon reaching Extreme Dao, direct flight without reliance is possible, meaning flying by oneself without needing external aids like Sword Control Skill or Flying Skill.

Utilizing the internal Powerful Qi flow and controlling flight speed and altitude through mental focus.

After landing, Chen Tianlong didn’t rest for long and directly infiltrated the enemy camp, intending to see where their armory is. The Assassin Group’s courtyard was initially the place Chen Tianlong was most familiar with, so he could only think of the previous Assassin Group’s armory and the woodshed near the kitchen.

However, it’s a stretch to store so many weapons in the woodshed. Based on Chen Tianlong’s understanding of the Kuang Family, they generally wouldn’t worry that much and hide weapons so secretly.

Knowing they’ve infiltrated, they would definitely increase troops rather than bother hiding weapons, right?

Therefore, Chen Tianlong concluded that the armory must be in the Assassin Group’s armory room.

So, Chen Tianlong quickly arrived beside the armory room. Peeking out, he saw four guards watching the storage room; no surprise, this is the place where everyone’s weapons and gunpowder are stored.

Whether Kuang Chenggong cares much or not, this place absolutely must be guarded, as it’s crucial for the military family.

Seeing the four somewhat sleepy guards, Chen Tianlong’s mouth curled into a cold smile; the next moment, four silver needles appeared in his hand, gleaming mysteriously in the moonlight.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

After a light sound, the four collapsed and fell into slumber.

That’s the sleep acupoint. Chen Tianlong can now casually throw needles and hit the enemy’s acupoints precisely. But this is only effective against these small fries; it’s somewhat difficult against experts.

After the four collapsed, Chen Tianlong found the keys on them; these locks aren’t the old ones anymore. As they couldn’t find the previous lock keys, they simply replaced all of them.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong took the keys, opened the door, and swiftly entered. Since everyone outside is lying down, speed is essential to avoid discovery.
