Chapter 564 [The Lone Wolf of the Far North] Isolated and Helpless

[Principality May 2035, 9]

[The Far North]

"I need backup! They never sent any help! What! Cowards!" He roared angrily, slamming the table, making a loud noise.

"Jack, calm down. Being aggressive towards us is useless." The man next to him looked at him calmly. Everyone here called him Red Beard.

Red Beard pointed to the red dot on the map and said, "This is where the ferocious beasts of the Far North gather. If we want sufficient food supplies, we must take the risk and make a trip."

He was very courageous. In this icy and snowy place, he had never been afraid of anything. But this time, he looked at Red Beard in shock and even shouted angrily: "Do you know what this means? This means that we will be wiped out before we can even send out a signal for reinforcements!"

"But if we don't try, we won't even be able to save our lives!" Although Red Beard was calm, he still hoped that everything he did would be recognized by his superiors. He said very calmly: "We are not going to their lair to fight a decisive battle with them. We are sending the most elite troops to steal some resources from them. We will definitely succeed by using magic storage bags. As long as we succeed, we don't need to worry about whether the reinforcements have arrived! Sir Jack! If we succeed, we won't even need to be affected by the reinforcements in the future! We won't be held back in a protracted war with the beasts' lair!"

"This is an extremely risky behavior! I don't agree!" He shouted angrily: "I am not against stealing our enemy's supplies, I am just against such rash behavior. For every member of our Talon Observatory, we need to always remember one responsibility. In this cruel and icy snow, we can only be cautious and careful, and there is no possibility of walking with big strides! If you are not careful! You will fall into the deep caves of Talon and there will be no way back! This kind of risky and radical behavior! I will never let any team member risk their lives to do it!"

He looked around coldly at the other members and said loudly: "We are united as one! We hold our ground! We can strangle the enemy! But if we disperse our fighting power! We are not focused! We will be scattered like a pile of sand! We will be defeated one by one by the enemy! I will not allow it! And I will never! Let any member! Take such a big risk alone!"

"But, as long as they are elite! No! I can go too! As long as we succeed!" Red Beard also shouted. Seeing his superior so determined, his strategy would be ruined forever: "As long as we succeed, we will have a chance to wipe out the lair of the Talon beast! This is a great achievement! Chief Jack! Sir Jack! Please think twice before you act!"

"Red Beard! Please stop talking! I have made up my mind! I have just said that this is a radical and risky behavior. For our observation station with limited number of people, this strategy will never work." He looked at Red Beard coldly and said, "Red Beard, if you want to complete your plan, it means that Xiao Baicai, Huang Baoshi and Qinghua will leave the observation station. Not only will the combat effectiveness of our observation station be greatly reduced, but it will also cause our observation ability to drop significantly, and we will not be able to make real-time warnings of attacks by ferocious beasts. If they encounter danger on the way there, or if they get there and we are attacked by ferocious beasts, we will not be able to resist at all."

He looked at the people here silently: "Our supplies can still last for a few days. The signal for reinforcements has been sent out. We will definitely get rescue supplies. Even if the reinforcements arrive a few days late, we can still rely on the meat of the beast's remains to barely survive. There is no need to do such a dangerous thing. We are an observation station, not a military station. Your idea is good, but it is limited to this."

Red Beard wanted to say more, but was stopped by him.

"I've made it very clear. Please don't say any more, Red Beard! Weigh the pros and cons and put the overall situation first!"

Redbeard clenched his fists tightly.

Red Beard snorted and stopped talking.

He nodded and patted Red Beard on the shoulder: "You are an old man and have been with me for more than eight years. I hope you can understand that these things are not something I can control. The overall situation is more important." "What a great overall situation. Red Beard, I really admire you, I admire you." Red Beard sat down slowly, he raised his voice and said: "I didn't hear the overall situation from Commander Xiang's words. All I saw was a coward. He didn't even dare to try this. Everyone knows that there are only two days of food left. Everyone knows that the signal for reinforcements has been sent out twice, but there was no news. I'm afraid that the Peace Guard was breached first. I think you, Commander Jack, are pretending to be confused. You are afraid to step out of this observation post."

"You!" He looked at Red Beard and said angrily, "If I were a coward, would I still be alive today? Haven't I killed more ferocious beasts than the people here combined? Red Beard, you've talked too much today! You need to reflect on yourself!"

"This is a different time. You are obviously timid now. I'm afraid that you have been the stationmaster for too long and are afraid of losing this tiny power. Let me tell you, if you want to get promoted or make a fortune, or survive the next winter, you have to try your best. If you succeed, all the credit will be yours. Our elite troops are so brave that we will arrive in a short time and go back and forth in a short time. There is no possibility of being attacked by a ferocious beast for the second time in such a short time! I think you are just afraid!"

"What a joke! How ridiculous!" He put his hands behind his back, pounded the table again and cursed: "I have already told you clearly, plainly, if you bring it up again, and insist on having your own way! I will have to use my authority as a superior to expel you from the observatory!"

"Oh, you insist on having your own way? I'm afraid you do! My Lord Jack Nyman! Commander Jack Nyman!"

"Starting today, you will be in charge of guarding the botanical garden! You are not allowed to say a word about the next action plan!" He shouted angrily, but to no avail.

He knew exactly how much food was left, and he also knew how many times the signal for reinforcements had been sent. He even had a plan in his mind about where the ferocious beast was hiding.

Red Beard's action is a dangerous plan that requires the dispatch of all elite troops. It is absolutely not feasible to send all the elite troops to the lair of the ferocious beast. If they stay in the observation station, their safety can be guaranteed. However, as long as the troops are divided into two groups, they will be attacked from both ends and be isolated and helpless.

This is something that any veteran knows. They are not running away, whoever can escape is the best, they are holding their ground, this is a situation that absolutely cannot happen!

However, he did not expect that the red beard who had followed him for eight years...

Could it be... that something is fishy?
He came to the botanical gardens, wanting to see what Red Beard was doing, but when a knife was slashed across his neck, he hadn't seen the man's face clearly.

Maybe... that's not Redbeard...

Or maybe... it's Redbeard...

But he was already a corpse lying in a pool of blood, so there was no need to know.
