High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

Five B2 transport planes began to fly smoothly over the ice field.

The cabin lighting then switched to a cool white tactical light, and the surging ice fog outside the portholes condensed into fine ice flowers on the porthole glass.

The four martial gods who were originally sitting in the special cabin, along with Chen Feng, also entered the transport plane, their eyes falling on the commander-in-chief of this operation.

Lu Ling – Equipment Engineer of the Permafrost Fortress, a Desolate-Rank Mechanic, and the Commander-in-Chief of the current assault on Hill 73.

She wasn't wearing the kinetic armor worn by the martial gods; instead, she was wearing a set of black, lightweight nano armor.

His short, silver-gray hair was neatly styled behind his neck. On his right temporal bone, a light blue mechanical ring was faintly glowing at a certain frequency. Soon, it activated the holographic electronic sand table in front of everyone and projected the entire combat force distribution of Hill 73 onto the sand table.

"Gentlemen, I am Lu Ling, the overall commander of this operation at Hill 73. We are eleven minutes away from reaching the target airspace. I will only explain the mission framework once."

Li Yuanwei leaned against the bulkhead, whistled, and said with a smile, "With Engineer Lu personally overseeing things, it seems these Purple Insects are causing quite a stir?"

"The Purple Clan has many branches. Even if we don't attack their mother hive, we still can't rule out the possibility of a war hive appearing. We will deploy a very low-orbit reconnaissance satellite to conduct 24-hour reconnaissance of the high ground. After 24 hours, the satellite will stop providing intelligence, and at that time, the difficulty of our attack will increase exponentially."

Lu Ling glanced at the five martial gods in front of her, then raised a sniper rifle from beside her feet and said calmly.

"As a super mechanic, I will be stationed at Hill 74 to provide you with remote support. As for this operation, according to the instructions from above, Chen Feng will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief, commanding the 73rd Regiment and the participating War Gods throughout the entire operation."

Upon hearing this, the four martial gods all looked at Chen Feng in silence.

As the top fighting force in the Great Xia Kingdom, they have witnessed too many top-level battles and have a thorough understanding of the philosophy that "there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding." They would never question the orders of their superiors like ordinary people do.

They would never underestimate the strength of any martial god.

Despite the stares of the crowd, Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged, and there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes.

He slowly walked to Lu Ling's original spot and looked at the holographic electronic sand table in front of him.

Having been in the Great Xia plane for nearly six months, Chen Feng has always relied on his individual combat capabilities to carry out missions, and rarely has the ability to command military operations involving more than a hundred people.

However, this time, the higher-ups of the Frozen Fortress seemed to want to test Chen Feng's abilities, and actually gave Chen Feng a regiment of troops and the command of four Martial Gods!

Such a promotion, which does not involve official rank or past achievements, is extremely rare, even in the entire history of the Great Xia Kingdom's conquests.

Chen Feng's gaze swept quickly across the entire 73rd Hill, taking in every detail, including the surface icefield ravines, the exposed underground insect tunnel entrances, and the high-density fungal carpet areas marked by satellite. In just two seconds, he had completely grasped the basic layout of the battlefield.

"Since the command has made the appointment, I will take over the frontline command of this battle."

Chen Feng's voice was not loud, but it was steady and powerful, each word clear and carrying an unquestionable decisiveness.

Without any unnecessary formalities, Chen Feng went straight to the core of the tactics the moment he took command.

"First, prioritize survivability for all personnel before discussing the progress of the attack. Second, ensure all personnel's communication channels are linked sequentially, and disable cross-level communication channels. Third, the War God needs to assist the company commander in external operations and report directly to me on the situation of the company's Zerg powerhouses."

The three rules are concise and straightforward, without any empty words or clichés, yet they perfectly capture the unique characteristics of the human race's war against the Zerg, and are also based on Chen Feng's combat experience when facing Zerg swarms on Blue Star.

The three martial gods nodded in unison. Li Yuanwei, who was standing to the side, also put away his usual playful demeanor and looked at the sand table with a serious expression. He said, "Boss, how should we fight this time? Are we planning to charge straight at the insect swarm, or split up and contain them?"

Chen Feng tapped his finger heavily on the holographic sand table, precisely landing on the widest icefield slope on the front of the highlands. This was the core area where the main force of the insect swarm was gathered, and also the most dangerous frontal battlefield.

"Warrior, in coordination with the company, will split up and pin down the Zerg, while you and I will lead the main attack from the front."

Chen Feng said calmly.

"You also need to remember that our core task in dealing with the Zerg is not to kill them indiscriminately, but to seize the high ground. As long as the creep's nutrient supply is cut off and the high-end combat power is eliminated, the combat power of the lower-level Zerg swarm will continue to decline. This is more useful than simply killing the Zerg swarm."

Seeing the arrangement made by this newly promoted Martial God who had never set foot in the Zerg war, a veteran Martial God asked with some skepticism to confirm.

"Chen Feng, according to the sand table calculations, if you attract the main force of the Zerg hive, which will be at least several thousand Zerg soldiers, your casualty rate and that of your company will be as high as 89%. Have you considered this?"

Chen Feng's eyes were cold as he looked at the veteran martial god, but a slight smile played on his lips.

This fortress guarding the far north ice field is never short of fearless and courageous warriors. In this permafrost fortress, military achievements are not earned through hard work, but through fierce battles fought on the brink of death.

Chen Feng has been parachuted into the Great Xia plane for nearly half a year, but he has always remained outside the combat command system and has not been able to gain a foothold in the eyes of the veterans, martial gods and high-ranking officials.

If Chen Feng had chosen a more conservative tactic, splitting up the forces and advancing steadily to complete the mission with minimal casualties, such an outcome might not have been what others wanted to see.

Therefore, Chen Feng deliberately went against the grain, taking the initiative to shoulder the most dangerous main battlefield, and insisted on fighting a fierce and brutal battle at the cost of extremely high casualties.

What he wanted was never to complete the assault on Hill 73...

Instead, he used this desperate battle against overwhelming odds to let his more than 500 soldiers, four top-tier martial gods, and even all the high-ranking officers in the frozen fortress witness his fighting spirit and desperate bloodlust, thus gathering his own elite army!

Chen Feng said calmly, "Based on my past experience, our combat strength is more than enough to withstand it. You just need to carry out the original plan to divide and destroy the insect hive and cut off their retreat."

The veteran martial arts master nodded slightly.

As a veteran, he seemed to want to say something.

However, after seeing Chen Feng's determined look, he ultimately didn't say anything more to persuade him.

...

The few minutes of the meeting time quickly came to an end.

Lu Ling stood quietly to the side of the sand table, silently observing Chen Feng's tactical deployment.

Watching Chen Feng calmly and confidently take over command of the front line while resolutely choosing to take charge of the most risky and stressful route himself.

As a commander with extensive experience in personnel deployment and combat capability assessment, Lu Ling might have been able to sense Chen Feng's plan, but she simply watched quietly from inside the cabin.

He did not speak.
