Feng Kun stood in front of his desk, cold sweat from the pain streaming down his sallow face.

He was waiting to be scolded.

They're waiting for the new captain to seize the opportunity to make things difficult for him.

He had been in the army for over a decade and knew this kind of situation all too well. But since he had started the trouble first and was less skilled than the other man, he wouldn't complain even if he was punished.

However, Jiang Chuan merely raised his eyelids to glance at him, and said in a flat tone, "When did I say I was going to punish you?"

Feng Kun was taken aback.

"You came back alive and even successfully destroyed a stronghold. You did a good job."

Jiang Chuan's gaze returned to the documents, and he said casually, "Remember our bet. From now on, you only need to obey my orders unconditionally. As for anything else, I have no interest in bringing up past grievances with you."

Feng Kun opened his mouth, then closed it again, swallowed hard, and saluted once more: "Yes, Captain!"

"Get a doctor to treat your injuries quickly; there will be further action later."

Jiang Chuan said.

……

Two hours later.

The entire Raptors Commando team assembled in the tactical command room.

Including Captain Jiang Chuan and Deputy Captain Chu Qiuci, plus ten squad leaders and ten team members from each team, there are 112 people in total, not one missing.

The atmosphere in the command room was much quieter than it had been a few hours earlier.

There was no longer any contempt in the way people looked at Jiang Chuan.

But as for how much importance to attach to it...

It's not really true.

Jiang Chuan only made a move once, and it wasn't witnessed by everyone. The impact of the photos brought back by Gu Changkong was still somewhat lacking.

but.

At least no one dares to stand up and question his authority anymore.

Jiang Chuan stood in front of the command platform, his gaze slowly sweeping over each face.

Then he said, "I know that many of you are not convinced by me, but that's okay. I came here not to make you submit to me."

He said it casually, and then got straight to the point.

"Let's get down to business. I've received reliable intelligence that the Corpse Dog Clan is assembling a force. You may be familiar with its commander, who is known as 'Iron Bone King,' an eighth-tier king of the Corpse Dog Clan!"

Iron Bone King!

The moment the name was announced, many people in the command center became restless.

Ironbone King was a long-time adversary of the human race on the battlefield between the two races, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless human generals.

more importantly.

In earlier years.

The Raptors' commando unit once carried out a decapitation strike against it.

As a result, out of the thirty members who went there, only two came back alive!

The other party was only seriously injured.

After a while, they reappeared on the front lines, full of energy!

For the Raptors, the name Ironbone King is a painful history nailed to the pillar of shame.

Jiang Chuan suddenly mentioned that he was going to launch a surprise attack on the enemy tonight, which surprised everyone and made them extremely excited.

There was a moment of silence in the command room.

Then, the two-meter-tall burly man stood up, clenched his fist against his chest, and his deep voice carried a pent-up hatred: "Captain, if you can lead us to kill Iron Bone King, my life, Zhao Tie's life, is yours!"

"If you say go east, I'll never go west; if you say charge, I'll never retreat a single step! As long as you can avenge this blood feud, from now on, wherever you point, I'll fight!"

Jiang Chuan said, "You don't need to give me your life. Keep your life and cut off Iron Bone King's head with your own hands."

Zhao Tie's eyes immediately reddened.

Chu Qiuci then spoke up: "Don't blame me for being pessimistic, it's easier said than done. Iron Bone King is the core general of the Corpse Dog Clan on the border defense line."

"To take it down, we'd need to deploy at least a main force corps for a feint attack, and at least two Heavenly General-level combatants to do it!"

"But at this moment, none of the twelve Heavenly Generals of the Federation can spare the time."

"Only us?"

"No matter how many people there are, they're just throwing their lives away!"

Jiang Chuan said, "Of course I won't lead you to your deaths. I'm confident I can take down Iron Bone King, but it depends on whether you have the guts to come with me!"

"None of the Raptors' brothers are cowards who fear death!"

"That's good!"

Jiang Chuan unfolded the war sand table and pointed heavily at a key town marked "Bloodjaw" on the sand table.

"The Ironbone King is currently stationed in this important border town."

"According to reliable sources."

"Its purpose in this mission is to consolidate the remnants of the three major tribes at the front and launch a full-scale offensive against Ironwall Fortress. If it succeeds, the pressure on the northern defenses will increase several times over!"

The command center was silent as everyone digested this astonishing intelligence.

"Is the theater command aware of this?"

Chu Qiuci's brows furrowed tightly.

"It will be too late by the time they find out."

Jiang Chuan certainly wouldn't say that he intended to simply take all the credit for the victory.

Besides, what he said wasn't wrong. Even if he reported the news, it would still have to go through multiple rounds of review before a final decision was made on how to handle it.

Even with the efficiency of a wartime army, a complete process would probably take half a day.

He can't wait that long.

Jiang Chuan straightened up, his gaze sharp as lightning: "My plan is simple. We'll set off tonight and, before it can fully assemble its forces, behead it right here in Bloodjaw Town!"

"Dry!"

"Kill that son of a bitch!"

Suppressed hatred was instantly ignited, and a fierce battle blazed in the veterans' eyes, their heavy breathing becoming a scorching stream.

"I'll give you half an hour."

Jiang Chuan raised his wrist to check the time: "Organize your equipment, replenish your potions, and sharpen all your knives. Assemble at the North Wall in half an hour!"

Chu Qiuci frowned, opening her mouth as if to speak but then stopping herself. She still felt uneasy about this risky decapitation operation.

But it's too late now.

She had no reason to stop Jiang Chuan from carrying out his orders.

……

Dark as ink.

The snowstorm in the North miraculously subsided tonight, as if even the heavens were making way for this surprise attack.

Beneath the north wall of the Iron Wall Fortress, one hundred and twelve figures stood like javelins.

Everyone was present, and there was complete silence.

Each of them exuded a strong aura of menace, their eyes sharp as eagles.

Feng Kun was also in the group, his legs wrapped in bandages, standing ramrod straight.

Jiang Chuan's gaze paused for a moment when it swept over him, and Feng Kun immediately straightened his chest, his eyes showing no sign of backing down.

Jiang Chuan didn't say anything, he just nodded to Chu Qiuci.

"Set off."

One hundred and twelve dark figures silently disappeared into the snowfield, like ghosts merging into the night.

Those with support-type talents granted the group a movement speed buff.

Their marching speed was incredibly fast.

Two hours later.

A huge and ugly black shadow gradually emerged from the wind and snow.

Bloodjaw Town, we've arrived.

This border town of the Corpse Dog Clan is entirely constructed from massive white bones and rough black stones.

The bone wall, which is over ten meters high, is covered with sharp barricades and tattered flags. On several crooked bone watchtowers, eerie green braziers burn, casting a ghostly glow over the surroundings.

Even more deadly is the smell.

The stench of a corpse.

bloody.

The excrement was mixed with a putrid smell.

A nauseating gust of wind swept over us from miles away.

"The place where these beasts live is indeed no different from a pigsty."

Zhao Tie spat.

Jiang Chuan silently raised his hand, and the group suddenly stopped behind a sheltered snow-covered hill.

The next moment, he pushed the [Night Walker] talent to its limit, and his aura completely disappeared from everyone's perception.

"Wait here, I'll go open the door."

"Hey!"

Chu Qiuci didn't have time to stop it.

Jiang Chuan had already transformed into a blur that was too fast for the naked eye to see, skimming across the ground.

Starlight!

The 100-meter distance was covered in an instant.

The next second, his figure was already pressed against a thick shadow at the base of the bone wall.

The Corpse Dog Clan sentries patrolling the city walls didn't even notice anything amiss.

He activated Star Flash again.

It appeared precisely in the blind spot of a watchtower atop the city wall.

below.

The entire town is laid out before you.

Everywhere were tattered animal hide tents, haphazardly erected without any order or method.

Black sewage flowed through the muddy streets, and several emaciated corpse dog cubs were fighting over an unknown bone.

In an open space in the center of the town, several bonfires were burning brightly.

Jiang Chuan's gaze suddenly froze.

Beside the campfire stood several rough wooden frames, on which a ragged human man was bound, covered in blood, and on the verge of death.

Several elite members of the Corpse Dog Clan were gathered around a campfire.

Sharpening the knife, ready to go.

It made excited whimpering sounds.

The iron pot in front of them was already boiling water, steaming hot.

A metal skewer rested on the campfire, on which was blatantly a human limb.

Jiang Chuan's eyes were icy cold.

He slowly raised his hand, and the Nine Star Bow silently condensed in his palm.

The silvery starlight did not leak out at all, and the two gems on the bow were like the open eyes of a demon, coldly locking onto the prey below.

call out!call out!call out!

Three starlight arrows, like the whispers of death, streaked across the night sky in an instant.

The three elite Corpse Dog Clan members sharpening their knives by the campfire didn't even have time to scream before their heads exploded at the same time!

Dark green blood mixed with brain matter splattered all over the face of the bound human man.

He hadn't even realized what had happened.

The other corpse dogs that were devouring the carcass also died instantly. Their bodies fell to the ground, twitched a couple of times, and then went still.

Jiang Chuan's figure appeared beside the human man like a ghost.

The man was already in a daze, and was just trembling instinctively.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the injuries on his body.

Severe blood loss.

Organ damage.

Even if they were saved, they would be useless.

There was no mercy in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, a ray of starlight entered the man's brow, relieving him of any pain.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

Silently.

The sentries on the high wall remained oblivious.

He flashed again and appeared behind the heavy bone city gate.

Several corpse dog soldiers guarding the city gate were huddled together by a fire.

next moment.

The world in their eyes then began to spin.

Jiang Chuan unleashed a beam of starlight, severing their heads, and then opened the city gate made of giant beast leg bones.

With a low, grinding sound, the tightly closed bone door of Bloodjaw Town slowly opened a crack inward.

Outside.

Chu Qiuci and Zhao Tie, among others, were already poised to act.

When the door opened a crack, everyone saw the young figure standing amidst the corpses on the ground.

Jiang Chuan turned his head to look at them and uttered four words calmly:

"Leave no one alive."
