212 Attacking an outpos (2/2)
”I'll be returning to the stronghold next week for my shift off of leave. I wonder if the mistress I keep misses me yet,” a soldier laughed as he leaned against the wall of the compartment. Although life as a private army soldier was very miserable, the Li Consortium's combat troops had always been treated very well.
The Li Consortium's combat troops lived in the stronghold while they were not on duty. When the members of the Public Order Division and private troops saw them, they would always detour around them.
However, discipline within the organization had always been upheld very strictly, and they were forbidden from disturbing others.
”Debauchery is forbidden in the military. You should be careful not to let anyone know about her,” one of the soldiers reminded him.
”What's there to be afraid of?” The soldier said disdainfully, ”Even the Li Consortium's officers themselves don't refrain from doing that, so as if they would care about such things.”
In any organization, the higher-ups would set the example for their subordinates to follow. If the higher-ups were religious, the subordinates would also have to be religious. Even if they did not believe in it, they would have to pretend like they did.
If the higher-ups behaved themselves, the subordinates would also conduct themselves with restraint.
With a large number of the Li Consortium's residents conscripted into the army, an extravagant and impetuous air had spread through the ranks of the Li Consortium's combat troops over the past two years.
Ultimately, the Li Consortium had expanded its strength too quickly as the foundation was not yet properly established.
As the group chatted, they did not notice the approaching danger.
However, the wolves did not choose to attack immediately as they just followed the truck quietly in the wilderness. Only Ren Xiaosu knew that wolves were one of the most patient species among the animals in the wilderness.
As the wolves followed the Li Consortium's combat troops, Ren Xiaosu tracked the wolves. They kept moving slowly for dozens of kilometers until the Li Consortium's platoon arrived at the next outpost.
At this moment, the wolves suddenly launched an attack as fast as lightning just as the military transport truck entered the outpost!
Ren Xiaosu silently observed from a distance as the Li Consortium's combat troops responded rapidly. In a mere three seconds, they had already formed an effective defensive formation. The entire outpost was filled with loud gunshots while the private troops at the outpost were dumbfounded. They had no inkling of what was going on!
This time, Ren Xiaosu was watching the entire attack by the wolves as an onlooker. During the shootout, some of the wolves acted as the advance party to draw the opponent's firepower onto them while making high-speed movements to avoid getting shot. Simultaneously, some of the other wolves had circled around and arrived at the rear of the Li Consortium's combat troops while everyone was distracted.
During this time, the Wolf King discovered Ren Xiaosu's presence on multiple occasions. But it did not seem bothered by him as it continued its hunt. Under normal circumstances, the wolves would give up hunting as a precaution upon encountering any external interference.
The Li Consortium's combat troops were only here because they had to investigate the disappearance of the two officers and had not expected such a fierce battle to break out. Although they were very combat oriented, the wolves had an overwhelming advantage over them in terms of strength and numbers.
Furthermore, Ren Xiaosu was not surprised to see that the wolves were able to quickly recover after getting shot. Their physical fitness was simply too good
