Chapter 1035: Chapter 629: Epic Triumph, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures Secured

Outside the forest, a grain transport team of nearly a thousand from the Calamity Sun Demon Country was marching slowly.

Their destination was a military granary. The convoy consisted of two to three hundred large carts, filled with military supplies and grain.

Recently, several grain transport teams had been ambushed, not only their grain plundered, but the low-level demon descendants transporting the grain were also wiped out.

Therefore, this grain transport team was equipped with a three-hundred-person elite demon descendant escort team.

On the outskirts of the forest, a camouflaged human soldier was scrutinizing the approaching team with rolling eyes.

After gathering the intelligence, he quietly withdrew.

Returning to the army lurking in the forest, he respectfully reported to an officer dressed in a mage robe who had his back to him, "Captain, the outside team has three hundred escorting demon soldiers, no other abnormalities detected."

The officer turned around upon hearing this, his expression calm and eyes sharp.

This person was none other than Fang Zhou!

Half a month ago, he led the Calamity Special Operations Team, comprising 800 elite forces of Bronze and above, to infiltrate the relatively weaker interior of the Calamity Sun Demon Country.

The target of a thousand-man unit was not small, and the presence of the Calamity Special Operations Team was soon known to the Calamity Sun Demon Country.

The nearest legion to the west immediately dispatched part of its forces to encircle and annihilate the Calamity Special Operations Team.

What followed were a series of relentless pursuit battles!

The all-infantry configuration of the Calamity Special Operations Team could not outrun the enemy’s cavalry.

Their first opponents were over a thousand sheep-headed monster light cavalry from the Calamity Sun Demon Country.

It was an exceptionally easy battle.

The Calamity Special Operations Team’s equipment was considered top-notch in the entire Dawn Legion, with all members possessing a Bronze level or higher, making them the elite of the elite.

Moreover, those selected by Fang Zhou were veterans of numerous bloody battles with no issues of inexperience or panic.

Due to multiple factors combined, the sheep-headed monster cavalry, initially thinking these few hundred human soldiers were just a desperate army unable to retreat in time, were easily annihilated upon engagement.

However, this led the Calamity Sun Demon Country to realize they had caught a big fish, prompting them to continuously dispatch forces in relentless pursuit and interception.

After ten fierce battles, Fang Zhou and his team entered the central region’s Dark Jungle of the Calamity Sun Demon Country.

After the scouts sent out were completely killed with the cooperation of Tiamat and the Calamity Team scouts, the Calamity Sun Demon Country finally lost track of the Calamity Special Operations Team.

"Survival of the fittest" is a term that best applies to the battlefield.

After continuous battles, the remaining 600-plus members of the Calamity Special Operations Team grew rapidly, and their coordination between different units became increasingly adept.

Their physical fitness and Professional level surpassed that of ordinary demon soldiers.

Now, they possessed the skills of killing, cooperative combat abilities, and the iron-blooded temperament of soldiers.

For survival, Fang Zhou and his team raided numerous demon outposts along the way.

Those demons who attempted to resist or report were mercilessly slaughtered.

After entering the Dark Jungle, they robbed several grain transport teams of the Calamity Sun Demon Country.

To avoid exposing their whereabouts, they left no surviving demons in the grain transport teams.

Now every soldier in the Calamity Special Operations Team had at least ten lives under their blade.

As their commander, several under Guan Huchi’s guidance, a Golden Limit expert, Leng Feng was on the verge of reaching Golden Lower Rank.

The rapidly progressing Zhuo Yue was just a step away from Silver Upper Rank.

In Fang Zhou’s eyes, the soldiers of the Calamity Special Operations Team now truly deserved the title of elite.

Especially now, the natural killing aura exuded by the soldiers’ bodies made the difference between battle-hardened veterans and ordinary recruits obvious at a glance.

..........

"Captain, the outside team has three hundred demon soldiers guarding, no other anomalies detected."

The scout brought back the information about the grain transport team targeted by the Calamity Special Operations Team.

Fang Zhou turned around; after destroying this batch of grain, using the elaborate deception set up during this period, the Calamity Special Operations Team could move toward the Giant Crocodile Swamp he had explored before.

Just hoping that the Calamity Sun Demon Country doesn’t deploy too much force there.

"Alright, call the company commanders over for me!" Fang Zhou ordered.

Soon, Leng Feng, Zhuo Yue, and other Silver-ranked company commanders came before Fang Zhou.

After this period of honing, unlike before, each had undergone significant changes.

Even the least commander-like Zhuo Yue appeared more stable from his demeanor.

"Captain, is it time to take action?" Zhuo Yue asked with a hint of excitement.

Although Fang Zhou had lectured him many times, Zhuo Yue couldn’t suppress his excitement at the prospect of battle.

Seeing his typical war-maniac personality later on, Fang Zhou stopped bothering him.

"Hmm, this time I won’t be going out.

Like the previous times, make sure to finish the job cleanly." Fang Zhou said.

"Rest assured, Captain!" the several replied in unison.

Fang Zhou stayed in the forest for a while, and soon a cacophony of battle cries came from outside.

After a short while, Leng Feng approached with a greatsword, battle qi emanating from his whole body.

"All taken care of, Captain."

Exiting the forest, the road was a chaotic mess.

The ground was littered with demon bodies, and Leng Feng’s subordinates were categorizing and organizing the corpses, ready for Fang Zhou’s artificial undead to absorb and consume.

As with previous ambushes, within half an hour the road would soon look as if nothing had happened.
