As Yuan Xiao's explanation continued, changes constantly appeared on the sand table, with small figures and arrows marking directions. After his manipulation, Wen Wen and the others had a near-perfect understanding of Yue Yue City's layout.
Now Wen Wen somewhat understood why Yuan Xiao was appointed as the commander of this operation.
His ability could cover the entire city, clearly showing the distribution of superhumans and even simulating battles.
From a strategic perspective, this ability was far superior to the monitoring points deployed by the Disaster Containment Facility within the city.
After clarifying the situation, Yuan Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Everyone has learned what they need to know. The next step is the specific action plan."
"Tomorrow at noon, Mr. Yae will lead you to infiltrate Yue Yue City from the cliffs. Two 'Slave Masters' of the Intermediate Order and a squad of 'Tiger Warriors' are guarding here. It should not be difficult for you to resolve them discreetly."
"Upon entering Yue Yue City, we will split into two groups. One group, led by Mr. Yae and six Upper Order Hunters, will head to the west district to create chaos, disrupt the enemy's order, and destroy their vital forces, leaving them no time to aid the east district."
"The other group, led by two Upper Order Superhumans, will lead the demon hunters from the association headquarters to transport all hostages from the west district out of the city as quickly as possible."
"Barrier Master, can you deploy an additional isolation barrier in the middle at noon tomorrow?"
The Barrier Master, who had been sitting in a corner, pondered for a moment before replying, "Maintaining this massive barrier already consumes a tremendous amount of energy. To temporarily create a barrier between the east and west districts... it would require prior preparation, and it could only be maintained for a maximum of one hour."
Yuan Xiao nodded and said, "One hour is sufficient. Everyone, please remember to prioritize your own safety during the operation. Engage in full combat only after the hostages have been evacuated."
Qiao Feiya stepped forward and said, "Rescuing hostages so hastily will result in significant casualties."
Yuan Xiao shook his head, "If we don't act now, the casualties will be even greater. We cannot save everyone. Additionally, I have prepared some heavy weaponry that can greatly enhance the success rate of your mission."
...
After the meeting concluded, Wen Wen walked out of the command center. He had participated in many demon hunting operations, but most of the time he was a lone wolf. He had never experienced a situation like this.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wen Wen, disguised, entered a mud-brick house within the camp. Led by a demon hunter with the ability to mask presence, they moved through an underground tunnel to a farm ten kilometers outside the camp.
This location was sufficiently far from Yue Yue City that those tiger-like beings should not be able to detect them.
All superhumans participating in tomorrow's operation had arrived here through various means to gather, ensuring that the surprise attack tomorrow would catch the tiger-like beings off guard.
If the operation were conducted within the camp, they would be alerted with absolute certainty, losing their advantage.
Upon reaching the designated location, everyone began to divide into groups. Wen Wen, Qiao Feiya, and the other six Upper Order Superhumans were in the group assigned to attack the west district. Three-quarters of the Hunters were in this team, and this team consisted solely of Hunters.
The west district housed the majority of the elite tiger-like creatures. Superhumans below the Assimilation stage would be sent to their deaths in such an environment. Only seasoned Hunters could operate with ease in such conditions.
'Metal Tide' and 'Earth Hand' would lead the remaining quarter of the Hunters, along with nearly a thousand demon hunters, into the east district to rescue the hostages. Their abilities were suited for dealing with large numbers of enemies and for effectively protecting ordinary people.
After waiting here for about ten hours, the sun gradually rose, and noon approached.
"Are you worried?" Qiao Feiya walked to Wen Wen's side, standing shoulder to shoulder.
A faint light flickered in Wen Wen's eyes as he shook his head, "No, I'm excited... this battle will be a novel experience."
Qiao Feiya, however, could not smile. She never feared combat, but she dreaded excessive sacrifices during battle.
The beginning of this battle was the most dangerous. Every Hunter attacking the east district would be embroiled in a fierce struggle, but once the hostages were rescued, everything would turn around.
In this war between the association and the tiger-like beings, the Hunter Association held an absolute advantage in terms of elite numbers alone.
Each Hunter was a powerful and experienced superhuman, while the tiger-like beings were merely newly born monsters with insufficient combat experience and abilities.
However, the sheer number of these tiger-like beings was staggering. There were at least over thirty thousand tiger-like beings in Yue Yue City. Even the lowest-ranking slaves could tear apart beasts like polar bears.
The Hunters entering the east district would be besieged by a large number of monsters. That period would be extremely difficult, as even a swarm of ants could overwhelm an elephant.
Once the hostages were rescued, the association could freely employ tactics to eliminate the grunts, drastically reducing the number of tiger-like beings. Things like bombers were not just one or two that the association had prepared...
The tall Yae stood up, closed the pocket watch in his hand, and beckoned to everyone, "Time's up, let's begin."
Under Yae's leadership, Wen Wen and the others minimized their movements as they ascended the high mountain to the cliff tens of meters high on the edge of Yue Yue City. Several colossal soldiers were also stationed here, preventing the tigers from leaving through this cliff.
Assistants began to attach chains to the feet of the colossal soldiers. Superhumans who could not fly would use these chains to climb down this precipice shortly.
However, what concerned Wen Wen the most was Yuan Xiao and the several massive shipping containers behind him.
Yuan Xiao first opened a container, revealing a box of simply packaged perfume.
"This is a special agent developed by the association's research department, made from the urine and feces of the tiger-like beings. Once sprayed, as long as you don't encounter them face-to-face, those tiger-like beings won't consider you enemies."
"Despite their socialization, the behavior patterns of those tiger-like beings are ultimately influenced by the instincts of felines, so their sense of smell can be interfered with to achieve strategic objectives."
Upon hearing that it was made from feces and urine, everyone's expression changed. Wen Wen even took two steps back; this stuff was a bit unsettling.
"Can I not spray this stuff..." Wen Wen asked softly. He had always been the one to spray excrement on others, and he never expected to be subjected to it one day.
Yuan Xiao earnestly comforted him, "Don't be so willful. Normal perfumes also contain fecal extracts, so just think of it as spraying perfume."
"No, I don't believe it."
Wen Wen said stubbornly. He had actually read similar popular science books, but as long as he didn't believe it in his heart, he could pretend it didn't exist.
