"Hmph, but you still got scolded, huh? Tsk tsk, darling, I don't recall you ever getting scolded much?"

The voice was a rather pleasant female voice.

"How could that be? Listen carefully, right now countless people are calling me scum."

Li Yunhu blinked, and only then did he realize that the voice he had just heard was not from one of his underlings who dared to disturb him at a crucial moment, but rather a voice coming from the neural connection device.

Moreover, he immediately realized that the gentle and heartwarming voice was none other than the talented scholar who gave the final speech at the rally a few days ago.

That young man, who looked like he hadn't even grown his hair yet, but whom Li Yunhu admired wholeheartedly, was a genius, a true talent!

So... I think I just insulted the Kirin Talent?

For a moment, Li Yunhu felt a slight toothache.

"Which one... Lord Qilin? I, I am Li Yunhu. You were looking for me? Don't apologize, please don't apologize. If it weren't for your impromptu command just now, I would have been sent flying into the sky, haha!"

Li Yunhu, who was used to boasting and showing off, decided to back down in front of the brilliant strategist and said, "What are your instructions? However, I can't get away right now because I have an important military mission. Why don't you contact the frontline command?"

Mo Mo's voice immediately echoed in Li Yunhu's mind, saying, "It's the message from the frontline command that says you need reinforcements. According to the battlefield situation fed back from your neural link device, you alone can't stop them."

"What? Lord Qilin, you can't just say things like that! I... cough cough, I still have dozens of Iron Fist weapons in my hand. Watch me blast all those armored vehicles in a bit!"

"Alright, Lord Li Yunhu, I'm not your commander, so don't try to fool me. Besides, I have a clear view of what the battlefield is like from the front lines!"

"Because of your history of disobeying orders, the frontline command requested permission from me to grant you remote control access to your neural link device, so we now know everything that's happening to you."

Li Yunhu's face darkened instantly; he knew this too.

Although the neural link device was worn around his neck, it was not his personal equipment, but rather part of the entire military's command system.

Under normal circumstances, the frontline command will hand over specific combat command to the frontline commander, and the neural link device is also controlled by the frontline commander. However, in special circumstances, the frontline command can also apply to the quantum server on Momo's side for remote monitoring and control of the commander's neural link device.

As a result, Li Yunhu became the first person to fall victim to this rule.

Li Yunhu's expression shifted, but he finally sighed and said, "Tell me, Lord Qilin, what do you need me to do? Now your orders are equivalent to Commander Zhou's orders, aren't they?"

"No, I am now directly conveying Artoria's instructions, which is to make you temporarily obey my orders and follow my commands."

Upon hearing that the order was personally given by the general, Li Yunhu felt even more annoyed. Now, not only would Commander Zhou remember him, but the general would probably remember him too.

How can we play after this?

"Alright, go ahead and tell me, but make this clear: if you want us to retreat, we won't do it! Even if you can control the neural link device, you can't control my people!"

"Don't worry, Lord Li Yunhu. My order is for you to stop this force, and not only in front, but also in the rear, so that this force can be temporarily immobilized on the road."

"After that, based on the multiple ranging points that have been placed around the area, you need to accurately map the location of this unit and report the wind speed on your side, understand?"

Li Yunhu scratched his head and said, "Anyway, you're the commander, so you get to decide. Just make sure we're not deserters."

Next, Li Yunhu, who was already familiar with the route, accurately destroyed two armored vehicles that were trying to block the road with the wreckage of a helicopter, making the road blockage even more severe.

Following Momo's orders, they followed the one-kilometer-long column of troops, reached the rear guard, and destroyed the three trucks carrying the last batteries.

"Nonsence!"

Li Yunhu spat out another mouthful of mud and disappeared into the cornfield. The armored troops, blocked at both ends, became somewhat flustered.

However, what happened next after the initial panic made Li Yunhu sigh, because the armored vehicles started to drive off the road and into the cornfield, where they formed a defensive formation and began firing at everything around them.

It seems that the armored forces on the other side have temporarily abandoned their plan to continue their march. They are gathering their troops for defense, and may even be planning to sweep through the cornfields to wipe out these guerrilla forces.

This actually highlights the advantage of these lightly armored vehicles. Although they are thin-skinned and heavy, their light weight allows them to move on soft ground with difficulty without getting stuck.

Faced with such a sweep, let alone the fact that Li Yunhu and his men no longer had Iron Fist, even if they did, they would have to turn around and hide first.

Author's Note:

First update. Also, I have some good news to share: thanks to the appearance of two generous donors, I now owe nine more chapters...

107. Let's fucking fire a shot!

"Lord Qilin, what should we do next?"

Having exhausted his iron fists, Li Yunhu was left with nothing but to stare helplessly at the still massive armored formation of the enemy.

If Momo hadn't contacted him, Li Yunhu, lacking a leader, would probably have considered using his life and blood to find a way to further stop the advance of this force. But now that Momo was there, he simply handed over all the tasks to Momo.

"Next, we'll map out the detailed coordinates. You'll need to follow the instructions in the neural connection device."

Li Yunhu nodded, and then Fengzi's voice rang out. So, amidst the stunned looks of his teammates, Li Yunhu squatted down, pressed the neural connection device tightly against his neck, and then faced this way and that way.

This is the process of mapping detailed coordinates.

However, there wasn't much for Li Yunhu to do in reality. After all, although these soldiers were loyal and had received formal education, their level of awareness was still lacking.

The neural communication device that Momo brought out, in particular, immediately stumped these grown men, who spent a long time learning from Fengzi before mastering it. Momo was actually worried about entrusting the surveying work to them.

Right now, what Li Yunhu is doing is finding the coordinates of the points that have already been buried underground.

These coordinate points were where Argo had previously buried black sticks—military neural connection device terminals—at locations where coordinates had already been fully marked during his surveying.

For now, those neural connection terminals are temporarily used as adapters, servers, and coordinate points.

What Li Yunhu needs to do is to connect the neural terminals of the two already determined coordinate points, and then calculate the distance, direction, and height with at least two coordinate points. In this way, Li Yunhu's current coordinates can be determined in detail.

The only task that required some technical skill was to have Li Yunhu aim the neural link device at the opposing army, calculate the distance and altitude difference, and change the location at least twice.

In this way, the detailed coordinates of the opposing formation, accurate to the meter level, will be transmitted back to Luoyang and back to Mo Mo's hands.

At the moment, Momo certainly doesn't have time to launch a satellite, so they can only use this primitive and shortcut method to obtain detailed coordinates.

Having understood his mission, Li Yunhu, amidst the roar of gunfire, completed everything following Fengzi's instructions, his brow beaded with sweat. It was fortunate he was using the neural connection device; had they used ordinary surveying instruments, Li Yunhu and his team probably wouldn't have been able to finish it in a single night.

"That's enough, take a short rest, Mr. Li Yunhu. The data collection is complete, now it's up to us."

Li Yun nodded, ended the call, and sat down directly on the muddy ground, saying, "Grandma... cough cough, you all listen up, after this battle we go back you all have to learn some skills properly, otherwise my pathetic state will be your example!"

In the darkness, rows of white teeth suddenly gleamed, and a soldier said with a grin, "Captain, can't we just leave this kind of thing to the tech corps from now on?"

"What tech soldier? I'm telling you right now, everyone will be a tech soldier in the future. Look at the thing I'm wearing around my neck right now. I'm the only one with it now, but I guarantee that every one of you will have one around your neck in the future."

"Hmph, when the time comes, anyone who doesn't know how to use it won't even be qualified to be a soldier."

Hearing that Li Yunhu's words didn't sound like a joke, the soldiers looked at each other and asked, "Captain, is that thing around your neck really that powerful?"

"Of course it's powerful! I'm relying on this to lead you into battle today! And although I don't understand it, the things that the Qilin Talent just asked me to do are definitely not simple. You handle it; the Qilin Talent's prestige is about to be displayed."

Some of the soldiers were skeptical. One of them said, "This genius is still in Luoyang, forty or fifty kilometers away from here. What could he possibly be doing?"

"Even if you take a plane, it's too late now, isn't it?"

Li Yunhu was slightly taken aback by the question. He touched his face, and luckily he had a thick skin. Plus it was dark, so there shouldn't be any sign of him blushing.

"Well, even if I trust the Qilin Scholar, he managed to defuse such a huge danger before, so this little thing is nothing. What's a few dozen kilometers? He even went to Japan to quell the Grand Eunuch's rebellion before, didn't he?"

To save face, Li Yunhu forced a ruse against Mo Mo. The soldiers didn't react, but suddenly a clear laugh rang in Li Yunhu's ears.

"Haha, darling, this Li Yunhu is still your die-hard fan! Hey, Li Yunhu, don't forget, we've taken over your neural connection device permissions, so turning off the communication won't work."

Li Yunhu was startled and jumped up, but immediately ducked to avoid the beam of a searchlight.

He scratched his head. Even though Li Yunhu was thick-skinned, he felt his face burning instantly after hearing Argo's words.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Mother... cough cough, please forgive me, Scholar Qilin and Lady Qilin, I'm just a rough man, I don't know anything. But I believe in the true nature of the Scholar Qilin, and what he just asked me to do certainly wasn't a waste of effort, right?"

Although Li Yunhu didn't know who the woman who was speaking was, she must be a big shot to be able to be with Mo Mo and interrupt at will.

Thank you for your trust.

Mo Mo's voice came again, saying, "As for whether I will disappoint you, I really have no idea. But right now is a good opportunity to practice with these reinforcements."

"Now, obey my orders."

Mo Mo's voice suddenly turned serious, and Li Yunlong also put away his smile, saying, "Please give the order!"

"Immediately take your men and retreat at least five kilometers."

"Yes, sir... What, step back? Step back! Talented Scholar Qilin, I just said we won't run away, absolutely not!"

Upon hearing this order, Li Yunhu immediately became anxious and wanted to argue with Mo Mo. However, Mo Mo interrupted him, saying, "I did not order you to run away, but to make a strategic retreat. You can call it a withdrawal if you prefer."

"I'm asking you to step back for your own good. We're going to test one of our small weapons, and five kilometers isn't actually an absolute safe distance. Also, if we really need you to charge in later, I won't stop you."

"Now, on my command, retreat!"

Li Yunhu was skeptical, but in the end he nodded helplessly. After all, there was nothing he could do here. Since Mo Mo said he had a solution, he would see what Mo Mo's solution was.

So the group immediately retreated far away through the cornfield, until they were two kilometers away. Li Yunhu waved his hand, and the group stopped.

From this vantage point, even if you stand up, all you can see is the light from the searchlights.

"Report, retreat completed. Requesting further instructions!"

Li Yunhu's tone was a bit off; after all, he still believed this was a retreat. In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail; here, the brave charge forward. Why was he being told to retreat?

Therefore, even though he knew that the Luoyang authorities would know he had only retreated two kilometers, he deliberately pretended to have obeyed orders, thus demonstrating his attitude.

"Well, it's only two kilometers. If you don't listen now, don't cry out in despair if you really run into trouble later! But if you really run into trouble, you probably won't even have the energy to breathe."

Argo's voice came through, and unlike Momo's, it carried a hint of sarcasm. She simply didn't like this disobedient Li Yunhu.

Within Argo's Chinese Dragon Group, obeying her is the first and foremost requirement; otherwise, nothing else matters.

"Report, what should we do next?"

Li Yunhu pretended not to hear Argo's words and continued to ask for orders, and this time, Argo gave him the orders directly.

"Li Yunhu, you know the direction of Luoyang, right? Now look in the direction of Luoyang, and when you see a light, start counting. Then remember to tell me how many you counted to later."

Li Yunhu was completely baffled, so he could only nod and look towards Luoyang. All the soldiers followed Li Yunhu's lead and looked towards Luoyang, which was dozens of kilometers away.

What can be done in Luoyang?

Soon, they found out the answer.

In the darkness of the world, in the direction of Luoyang, a light suddenly shone.

A dense white light seemed to illuminate the sky for a fleeting moment, then vanished in an instant. Although he couldn't see anything, Li Yunhu sensed something flying into the sky from within that light.

Subconsciously, Li Yunhu started counting.

one two Three……

As he counted the numbers, Li Yunhu felt a sense of oppression coming from the sky. He looked up, but there was nothing in the sky. He initially thought it was just his imagination.
