Report! Urgent intelligence! We just received a message from Miss Leia. She says they have been cornered by the enemy and urgently need air cover to cover their retreat... A messenger rushed into the conference room shouting.
Upon hearing this, the room erupted into chaos once again. "What's going on? Quick, tell me the details!" Zhao De hurriedly pressed.
However, before the messenger could finish responding, Leia's slightly tired but still firm voice suddenly rang out from the doorway: "Don't rush, we will hold on to the end... I only ask that you seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack, only in this way can we ensure that more people survive..."

Chapter 979 Assigning Tasks and Resources
Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a figure covered in blood but still standing tall outside the door. At the same time, Ye Feng's gaze became even more determined: 'Then, let me be the one to break the deadlock...' He silently made up his mind and faced the enormous challenge that was about to come.
The meeting room fell silent, all eyes fixed on Leia's battered figure. The veterans nearby instinctively stood up, rushing forward to offer assistance.
"Miss Leia, please allow me to treat your wound." It was Engineer Chen who spoke, and he already had a first-aid kit in his hand, ready to do some initial hemostasis and cleaning for Leia at any time.
Zhao De quickly realized what was happening and gestured for everyone to be quiet. "Let Leia sit down and rest for a while. Messenger, go and explain the situation in detail."
Just as everyone was busy arranging for Leia to sit down and receive treatment, Ye Feng quietly leaned close to Zhao De's ear and whispered, "What do we do now? Should we proceed according to the plan we discussed before?" Although he seemed somewhat taken aback by this sudden turn of events, his tone remained calm.
“Proceed according to plan,” Zhao De replied in a deep voice, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. “But speed things up. We need to send out scouts immediately and prepare fire support to ensure Leia and the others can evacuate safely. Are you ready to go?”
Ye Feng nodded slightly to confirm, then turned to face the crowd and announced, "Everyone, now that the plan has been finalized, let's begin implementing it immediately! Who is willing to join me as the first vanguard to carry out a stealth mission deep into enemy territory?" After saying this, he looked directly at each person in front of him, hoping that someone would volunteer to answer the call.
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers present exchanged glances for a moment, and then a burly soldier bravely stepped forward: "Sir, I am willing to go with this new comrade!" Three or four other comrades followed suit, expressing their willingness to join. Seeing this, even more people were encouraged and raised their hands to sign up, making the scene exceptionally lively.
One of the young men, who was usually quiet, mustered up his courage and stepped forward: "If it's really possible to avoid the trap as he said, then I want to give it a try. I can't just stand by and watch Sister Leia and the others sacrifice themselves!"
Another veteran squad leader, who seemed more cautious, offered his opinion: "However, we still need to be careful. The other side is clearly prepared to deal with us. Since Brother Ye said he has a countermeasure, we should pay more attention to cooperation and coordination."
Hearing the discussions emanating from all around, Ye Feng knew that the most important thing at this moment was to gain everyone's trust and unite them to fight against the enemy. "Thank you all for your trust and support! I will do my best to protect everyone's safety. Remember, we are a team, and communication is equally crucial! Now let's prove it to the enemy with our actions!" This impassioned declaration dispelled the doubts of those who were initially hesitant and solidified their resolve.
"Alright everyone, let's get our gear ready and get going," Zhao De ordered immediately, seeing the opportunity was ripe. "Mr. Ye, come with me now to discuss how to allocate tasks and resources."

Just as the two were about to walk away to a corner to discuss the matter, a young technician suddenly grabbed Zhao De's arm and whispered, "Sir, do you really think this person is reliable... After all, this kind of thing can't be taken lightly."
Zhao De smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder, replying, "Don't worry, judging from his abilities today, I think he's a promising talent. Besides, we don't have any better options right now. We can only place all our hopes on him and strive for final victory."
On the other side, Leia, who had just regained some strength, was also trying to join the conversation. "Please take me to the front lines. I know there are still many comrades there facing life-or-death choices. My presence might be able to help in some places." Her eyes shone with determination as she glanced at the silent but powerful young man standing not far away—the new face named Ye Feng.
Zhao De simply shook his head and refused the request, saying, "Leya, the most important thing for you right now is to rest and recover. Leave everything else to us."
The conference room was filled with a tense yet exciting atmosphere. Everyone was giving their all for the important task ahead, while simultaneously brimming with boundless anticipation for the future…
Just then, hurried footsteps and anxious voices came from outside the door again: "The latest intelligence has arrived! The enemy has begun a large-scale troop mobilization to strengthen their defenses..." The messenger was interrupted before he could finish speaking. "We must act as soon as possible, no matter what," Ye Feng said calmly. "We can't wait any longer. Let's attack immediately!"
Zhao De nodded, then turned and shouted to everyone in the conference room, "Listen up, everyone! The enemy is already mobilizing troops to strengthen their defenses. We can't afford to waste any time. Is the vanguard ready?"
The burly soldier answered loudly, "Sir, the vanguard has assembled and is ready to depart at any time!"
A young soldier standing nearby shouted, "Sir, although it's dangerous, we believe in this brother's abilities! We will do our best to complete the mission."
Zhao De nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Everyone, remember this: this operation is not only to protect Leia and the others' safe evacuation, but also to give our entire unit a chance to survive. No matter what difficulties we face, we must work together to overcome them."
"Yes!" The crowd's answer was exceptionally firm and powerful, as if a fire had been ignited in their hearts.
Just then, a few curious villagers gathered at the entrance of the meeting room. One of the elderly men asked his companion in surprise, "What... what's going on here? They seem quite nervous?"
Another middle-aged woman said with envy, "Oh my, are these people legendary warriors? Look how impressive that young man is!"
The old man sighed, "We've never encountered anything like this in our entire lives. But look at their eyes, so resolute and courageous, it's truly admirable."
Suddenly, a childish voice joined the conversation. "Mommy, I want to be a great hero like those older brothers and sisters!" It turned out to be a seven or eight-year-old boy holding his mother's hand, watching everything unfold with bright, curious eyes.
Upon hearing this, laughter erupted from the crowd. "Studying hard is the most important thing," a parent reminded the child with a smile.

Chapter 981 The Sound of Cannon Fire
Meanwhile, Zhao De led Ye Feng to a corner and quickly discussed the specific action plan. "Our primary objective is to disrupt the enemy's defensive system to buy time and space for our retreat," Zhao De explained, pointing to the important strongholds marked on the map.
Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully, then offered his own insights: "We can try using small, rapid-fire units for surprise attacks. This would not only disrupt the enemy's deployment but also minimize our own losses..."
Just as the two commanders were making their plans, a commotion broke out in the center of the conference room.
"Hey, look over there, isn't that the woman who was covered in wounds but still insisted on fighting? Why is she standing up again?" a young villager whispered to his friend, pointing in the direction of Leia, who was organizing her weapons and equipment in preparation for another departure.
"Wow, that's so cool! I've never seen such a strong girl before," her friend said, clearly deeply moved and genuinely admiring.
Just when everyone thought the meeting was about to end, a sudden bugle call sounded outside—the enemy had launched an attack ahead of schedule!
The room erupted into chaos for a moment, then someone exclaimed, "Oh no! We need to get out of here as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"
At this moment, Zhao De and Ye Feng quickly exchanged a glance and made a final decision. "Execute the original plan immediately! Remember to cover each other and cooperate closely. Victory belongs to the brave who dare to fight and struggle." As soon as they finished speaking, the two led their elite forces outwards.
"Keep going, everyone! We hope you return safely soon!" the villagers waved and offered their blessings. But at that very moment, everyone knew that the truly brutal and bloody battle had only just begun…
Zhao De and Ye Feng rushed out of the conference room, where a flurry of activity had already taken place. Soldiers were rapidly assembling, preparing to launch their operation according to plan. In the distance, the faint sound of artillery fire could be heard.
"Quickly! Speed up!" Ye Feng shouted to his men while turning to Zhao De beside him and saying, "We must break through the defenses before the enemy completely blocks the roads."
At this moment, several villagers gathered around, their eyes filled with worry and reluctance. One of them, an elderly man with white hair, said tremblingly, "In such a tense situation... I hope these young warriors can return safely."
A young man standing nearby said with admiration, "Look at that young man—is his name Zhao De? He's really amazing. To have such spirit at such a young age, it's truly enviable!"
“Yes,” the old man nodded in agreement, “and the young man beside him is no less skilled; the two of them work together flawlessly. I really want to ask them how they mastered this skill.”
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the crowd. "Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a hero like them, to protect the village and defeat the bad guys!" The speaker was a boy of about ten years old, his eyes shining with excitement and determination.
His father smiled and patted his son's head: "Silly boy, it's good to have ambition. But remember: becoming an excellent soldier doesn't just depend on brute force."
At this moment, Leia had also finished packing her gear and walked out of the room. "Alright, is everyone here?" she asked loudly, her eyes filled with a determination that would not yield to any hardship.
Chapter 982 Fully Prepared
Chapter 982 Fully Prepared
Seeing this, a little girl ran up to her, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Sister, are you really good at fighting? You look so brave... I want to be like you!"
Faced with such an innocent question, Leia, who was usually as resolute as iron, couldn't help but show a rare smile: "As long as you are strong enough and persevere, I believe you will achieve your goal one day." After saying that, she went to the battlefield with the other soldiers.
Meanwhile, Zhao De and Ye Feng led their team forward at a rapid pace. Their journey attracted the attention of many civilians. An elderly woman selling vegetables, upon seeing the fully armed and spirited squad, exclaimed, "Wow! These kids are amazing! They're like legendary heroes from ancient times!"
The son who was traveling with them chimed in, "He was truly incredibly brave! Look at that young man leading the group; not only is he handsome, but he also exudes an indescribable charm... He's practically the perfect hero in every girl's eyes!"
Just as everyone was discussing the situation, the scout ahead suddenly blew his whistle and reported that something was wrong. "Sir, enemy reinforcements have appeared!"
Upon hearing this, a tense atmosphere immediately filled the room. However, it was quickly dispelled by the calm responses of the two commanders. "It's alright, we are fully prepared," Ye Feng assured his subordinates with composure.
He then began assigning tasks to each person. "The three of you will be responsible for the left flank, the rest of you will come with me to the right to intercept the enemy's main force; the rest of you will follow closely behind to form an encirclement—this will effectively tie down the enemy and buy more time."
Seeing everyone respond and quickly get to work, the onlookers were full of praise. "Wow~ this is such a spectacular sight!" a little girl exclaimed excitedly.
Just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out not far away...
Zhao De frowned, glanced in that direction, then turned back to his comrades and gave them a few words of advice. "It seems the situation is more complicated than we imagined. But no matter what, we must not waver in our belief—as long as we unite and fight to the end, there is nothing that cannot be overcome."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng waved his hand and gave the final order: "Brothers, let's go! Let the world know that even the most insignificant person has the courage and determination to create miracles!" Then everyone stood tall against the wind and stepped forward.
Not far ahead, the enemy's main force suddenly launched a frenzied counterattack. The roar of artillery and the clatter of gunfire mingled together, creating a death knell on this quiet yet perilous battlefield. Zhao De gripped his knife tightly; he knew he had to act immediately to boost morale.
"Brothers!" Zhao De shouted, "Now is not the time to be afraid! We'll show those guys what real warriors are!" Hearing their captain's words, the soldiers' faces showed unwavering determination.
Just then, a young man who appeared to be a local resident ran over. "Heroes, I have some food and water here; I hope it will be of some help," he said, handing over a basket of supplies. "Although I don't know if it will actually be of any use, please accept it as a token of my goodwill."

Chapter 983 Nodding in Thanks
Faced with such kindness, Zhao De nodded in gratitude. "Thank you. I believe this support will bring endless motivation to our soldiers."
Meanwhile, Leia was leading another small team to outflank the enemy. As they passed a ruined house, a middle-aged woman emerged, her eyes filled with worry yet also gratitude as she looked at the brave group. "Young lady, please return safely..." The woman's words had barely finished when they resonated with several onlookers. "Go for it, young lady! You are our hope!" one of them shouted excitedly.
The battle raged on, and Zhao De and his men steadily closed in on the enemy's core. Just when everyone thought victory was within reach, a dazzling light streaked across the sky—it was the enemy's newly developed secret weapon!
"Everyone lie down!" Ye Feng shouted the order, quickly dropping to the ground himself. "This is..."
"Sir, look over there!" a scout shouted, pointing to the edge of the woods not far ahead. There, a large number of unknown creatures were gathering, poised to attack...
Watching all this unfold, a young boy observing the battle couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow... I never imagined so many amazing things could happen in the real world... If I could, I'd love to join such a heroic team."
Another elderly villager chimed in, "Ah, youth is wonderful! You still have the chance to create your own stories. May God protect these children and help them escape this calamity safely..."
Just as everyone was tense about the impending greater threat, Zhao De slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and scanned his surroundings with piercing eyes.
No matter how powerful the enemy, we must forge ahead. Because we are protecting every life on this land—not only those fighting here now, but also countless possibilities in the future.
As the words fell, an unwavering aura quickly spread and enveloped the entire battlefield. At that moment, Ye Feng patted his comrade on the shoulder and laughed, "That's right. As long as there's light in your heart, you can dispel all darkness. Come on, friend, let's face this unprecedented challenge together."
Immediately afterwards, the two stood side by side, perfectly in sync, and walked into the distance...
"What is that? It looks really powerful..." a little girl asked curiously, pointing to the figure approaching in the air, while holding her mother's hand.
"Hmm... I think they must be kind people protecting us, like warriors in fairy tales. They will use their strength to defeat all evil forces." The mother said gently, hugging her child tightly. "Don't be afraid, baby. With love and courage, you will surely win."
