I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Qing Deng pointed his ears—his talent "Wind Perceiver +3" activated—and sure enough, a commotion arose inside the warehouse, indicating that there were quite a few people.

"Atao, go check on the situation."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Atao darted out like a rabbit.

About three minutes later, she returned to the public eye.

“Miss Jin, the situation… is not good…”

Atao swallowed hard and continued the conversation with a grim expression.

There were quite a few people in the warehouse, about thirty or so.

"The enemy's weapons are very sophisticated. In addition to katana and wakizashi, they also have short spears, naginata, and bows and arrows."

"I believe we must take a long-term view and make detailed plans..."

Ah Tao hadn't finished speaking—

"What? Only 30 people? It's that easy."

Upon hearing this, the warehouse fell into complete silence...

Yesterday, while playing "Black Myth: Wukong," Leopard was deeply moved—he never imagined we could make such an amazing single-player game! It's truly a landmark game!

It goes without saying who is speaking.

A brief silence fell over the alley, and the sound of the wind from afar sounded strangely distant.

Ebina Ye Zong, who had fought alongside Qing Deng, remained relatively calm, merely raising an eyebrow.

In contrast, the female ninjas, led by Ms. Sumire, reacted much more strongly.

No sooner had Qing Deng finished speaking than they all turned their heads and stared intently at him.

A variety of gazes, ranging from astonishment and suspicion to wariness, fell upon Qing Deng.

In this eerie silence, the first person to utter a word was not Miss Jin, but the aloof and beautiful older sister named Amei.

Qing Deng had a deep impression of this woman—among this group of female ninjas, she was the one who showed the most vigilance and the deepest hostility when facing him.

This made Qing Deng wonder if he had offended the other party in the past.

She spoke in an utterly indifferent tone, coldly:

"Simple? Lord Renwang, please forgive my impertinence, but how do you plan to take over this warehouse?"

Before Amei could finish speaking, Atao, who was standing next to her, quietly nudged her waist with her elbow—Amei's tone just now was too harsh and impolite.

Qingdeng ignored the rudeness in the other party's words and calmly said:

"My plan is very simple."

"I swaggered in through the main gate and killed any enemy I saw."

"As for you, take advantage of the moment when I have drawn the enemy's attention, break through the window and launch a surprise attack on the enemy."

With both regular troops and surprise attacks, how could we possibly lose?

After Qingdeng finished speaking, the alley was once again enveloped in silence...

Of course, this silence did not last long.

Two seconds later, Ms. Sumire, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:

"...Aki, I have absolute faith in your abilities."

As she spoke, she slightly furrowed her brows.

"I have heard of your many heroic deeds, such as the great defeat of Shimizu Castle, the victory in Iga, and the solo raid on Takatori Castle."

"I have no doubt about your exceptional skills."

"However, you should have heard Ah Tao's report just now, right?"

"There were more enemies in the warehouse than I expected, more than thirty in total."

"Moreover, they were also equipped with various weapons such as pistols, naginatas, and bows and arrows."

"Moreover, the warehouse is cramped. Even someone as powerful as you would be severely restricted in your movements if you were to fight in such a confined environment."

"I think we should be cautious."

"It is not a wise choice to take a risky step when there is a more prudent plan available."

"We should at least wait until everyone is here before we talk about it."

At this point, Miss Violet paused, then turned and glanced around:

"Damn it...! Why isn't that guy here yet...!"

The "that guy" she was referring to must be the "combat expert" she mentioned earlier.

It was only at this point that Qing Deng belatedly realized he didn't know the name of the "combat expert" Miss Jin had mentioned.

However, this matter was completely unimportant, so Qingdeng didn't bother to ask.

After listening quietly to Miss Jin's proposal, Qing Deng asked expressionlessly:

“Ajin, since you just mentioned a ‘more robust plan,’ could you please tell me what this ‘more robust plan’ actually entails?”

Miss Violet nodded.

"The 'more robust plan' I just mentioned is the plan that I devised myself."

"In fact, my plan and your plan are quite similar."

"It also involves deploying a 'regular force' and a 'surprise force'."

"However, it is not you who are in charge of being the 'main soldier,' but us."

As she spoke, she patted her remarkably flat chest.

"The most powerful fighting force should be used as the 'surprise weapon' to decide the outcome of the battle."

"Therefore, you will be the 'surprise weapon'."

"While we're drawing the enemy's attention from the front, you sneak up to the side or back of the warehouse, then suddenly burst in, catching them completely off guard!"

"In this way, we will surely achieve a great victory!"

After Ms. Sumire finished speaking, Ebina Ye Zong and the female ninjas nodded in agreement. The female ninjas were all eager to try their skills and were rubbing their hands together – it seemed that they all agreed with her plan.

The aloof and beautiful older sister, Amei, said directly:

"Miss Jin, let's proceed according to this plan!"

However, Miss Violet ignored Amei.

After explaining her plan, she stared intently at Qingdeng.

Her meaning was clear—we must listen to Qing Deng's opinion.

Qing Deng remained expressionless, unlike the female ninjas who showed reverence.

After a moment's thought, he said quietly:

"Ajin, I have to admit, your plan is indeed more prudent."

"By appointing me as the 'surprise soldier,' my personal safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, thereby ensuring victory in the battle."

“But… I’ll be frank: you just said that your men are not good at fighting.”

At this point, he deliberately raised his gaze and looked at the female ninjas beside Miss Sumire.

"You're clearly not good at fighting, yet you insist on taking on the most dangerous missions. Is that really okay?"

These words immediately stirred up a hornet's nest, and the female ninjas were filled with indignation:

Atao said urgently:

"Of course, no problem! It's just a simple task to attract the enemy's attention. Even a three-year-old could handle it!"

Ah Mei's face showed displeasure:

Don't underestimate us!

The other female ninjas were even more agitated, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

In order to control the situation, Miss Jin had no choice but to shout:

"Quiet!"

At this moment, the prestige of the "Great Salt Party's intelligence chief" was once again demonstrated.

As soon as she finished speaking, the female ninjas, who had been filled with grief and indignation just a second ago, fell silent instantly.

However, they still stared at Qingdeng with their beautiful eyes wide open, casting resentful and sharp glances.

Looking at the female ninjas who had not yet calmed down, Qing Deng chuckled to himself:

"Your Salt Party's spirit of fearlessness and pioneering is truly admirable."

"You seem to have misunderstood; I am not looking down on you."

"Although I am a retainer of the shogunate, I quite like the Ōshio party. There are few groups in this world who regard 'universal harmony' as their lifelong ideal as you do—this is one of the important reasons why I am willing to cooperate with you."

"Precisely because I don't hate the Big Salt Party, I don't want you to get hurt or die for no reason."

Qing Deng's words were like a heavy hammer blow to the top of the female ninjas' heads, leaving them stunned as if struck by lightning.

Before the female ninjas could recover, Qing Deng withdrew his gaze from them, turned to Miss Jin, and continued the conversation.
