The team did not have many supplies to carry out stealth missions, and they had already consumed a large amount of ammunition in previous attacks. If there was another enemy attack now, the supplies on the team members might not be enough to support the team's counterattack to the end.

Fortunately, whether it was the blessing of the mountain's spirit in heaven or because the team was more cautious, the team did not encounter any attacks along the way. They arrived safely at the predetermined destination - a pile of grass 5km away from the enemy base, waiting for the night to come.

It’s exactly twelve o’clock at night.

"action!"

The team members split up into twos and took advantage of the night to avoid enemy patrols and search for supply points in the camp.

Yamaguchi Yota and Tachihara Masaaki carefully hid their figures and kept moving back and forth in the camp.

Tachihara Masaaki frowned as he looked at the quiet enemy camp.

Ever since Oyama's death, Tachihara Masaaki has had a feeling of uneasiness.

[It is very strange that the team did not encounter any enemies on the way here and arrived at the destination safely. Didn’t the enemies who attacked the team on the way pass the information of our infiltration to the enemy commander?]

The uneasiness in Tachihara Masaaki's heart grew stronger as he went deeper into the enemy camp.

[Did we fail to send the commander a message about the enemy's infiltration in time?]

[No, that's impossible. From the time the scouts discovered us to the time the enemy was completely killed, there was at least ten minutes, which was definitely enough time for the information to be transmitted.]

[Since we already know that the enemy has infiltrated, why are there only ordinary patrol teams in the camp? The battle on the front line has not yet started, so where are the remaining soldiers?]

Tachihara Masaaki walked forward cautiously and suddenly felt as if he stepped on something. He lowered his head and saw something shiny on the ground. He looked closely and found that it was several pieces of iron sheets reflecting the light of the surrounding torches. The iron sheets were thin, but each was the size of a palm, scattered on the ground. Stepping on them with shoes would only cause the iron sheets to sink into the soil. They should be leftover scraps from making something, not an enemy trap.

But when Tachihara Masaaki looked at the iron sheet on the ground, his inner anxiety reached its peak.

"Puchi——" was the signal sent by Yamaguchi Yota that he had found the supply point.

Tachihara Masaaki raised his head and was about to signal Yamaguchi Yota to be careful, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a reflection of a black figure holding a dagger and stabbing at Yamaguchi Yota beside the tent where Yamaguchi Yota was hiding.

Tachihara Masaaki's pupils suddenly shrank, and he picked up the iron sheet on the ground and threw it at Yamaguchi Yota.

"careful!"

"clang--"

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Masaaki Tachihara used his special ability to fuse the iron sheets on the ground together to form iron sheets of a certain thickness, blocking the enemy's sneak attack. Yamaguchi Yota took advantage of the time when the enemy's sneak attack failed to immediately roll to the side and ran towards Masaaki Tachihara.

Masaaki Tachihara breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yamaguchi Yota was safe and sound. He was ready to take out his weapon to deal with the enemies who were about to surround him and Yamaguchi Yota, but he found that the surroundings had returned to silence. Only the falling iron pieces beside the tent in the distance indicated that the enemy's sneak attack was not an illusion.

"There was such a big commotion just now, why didn't anyone come out?"

"The enemy who just attacked you is gone too."

Tachihara Masaaki frowned, walked cautiously to the tent with his weapon in hand, and observed the surroundings carefully.

"Gone."

Tachihara Masaaki picked up the iron sheet on the ground and put it in his arms.

Suddenly, Tachihara Masaaki's legs went weak and he fell to the side of the tent with a bang.

"Zhengqiu, are you okay?"

"Um...it's okay...I just feel a little exhausted. I just used my special ability to fuse the iron skin. This level is still too much for me. I'm sorry..." Tachihara Masaaki took a breath and answered with difficulty.

Yamaguchi Yota looked at the pale-faced Tachihara Masaaki and said:

"Why are you apologizing? I should be the one apologizing. If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have been like this. Don't worry, I will protect you."

Yamaguchi Yota patted his chest and assured Tachihara Masaaki.

"Didn't you just say you found the supply point? The mission takes priority, go and complete the mission first!"

Tachihara Masaaki was still looking around vigilantly, ready to deal with the enemy at any time.

Yamaguchi Yota looked back at the supply point he had confirmed, nodded, and dragged Tachihara Masaaki to a hidden place to hide.

"I'll go plant the explosives first, and then I'll take you away once they're lit. If anything happens, call me immediately."

Tachihara Masaaki nodded weakly and watched Yamaguchi Yota leave.

Lying alone on the ground, Masaaki Tachihara was still thinking about the enemy's abnormality.

[Why haven't you strengthened your defenses even though you've already discovered our infiltration?]

[Why did the enemy retreat immediately after their attack on Yamaguchi Yota failed? Why didn’t the loud noise attract the surrounding soldiers?]

[Are you overconfident in your own strength, thinking that even if we launch a surprise attack, there will be no loss?]

[Is it a disdain for us, thinking that we are just a bunch of rabble who can be killed without even any effort?]

[No, it's impossible. The boss's face is so obvious that the enemy can't fail to recognize us as the third elite team. The third elite team that Yangtai and I are in is well-known on the battlefield. Even the enemy should have heard of our name, the "Invincible" elite team.]

As the [Superpower War] gradually unfolds, the Wehrmacht also begins to recruit superpowers to join the war. The elite squad of the 356th Infantry Division is composed entirely of superpowers and ordinary people with outstanding abilities. The most important members of the elite squad are the captain and the superpowers.

The captain is not limited to those with special abilities. They are the elite among the elites who are selected through layers of assessment based on personal strength, leadership ability, etc.

There are very few psychics with powerful superpowers, but there are many psychics with ordinary superpowers. Therefore, compared to the psychics, the captain is the most core part of the elite team. After all, the captain is permanent, but the psychics come and go.

As long as the captain is still there, the elite team can continue to operate.

For example, the third elite team where Masaaki Tachihara is located. Although Masaaki Tachihara is a psychic, tests have shown that if Masaaki Tachihara uses his psychic ability slightly excessively, he will become exhausted and cannot be used effectively in combat.

Therefore, the third elite team has always operated with the captain as the core.

This is what the captain meant when issuing the mission, "taking such a big risk." After all, this mission may cause all enemies to besiege the captain. Once the captain dies, the elite team may no longer exist.

As the war intensifies, the dozens of elite squads of the original 356th Infantry Division are now reduced to only a dozen elite squads. Among these dozen elite squads, the third elite squad is the best. Although the captain's title of "the leader of the elite squads" is self-proclaimed, the reputation of the third elite squad [invincible in every battle] is true.

Under the leadership of the captain, the Third Elite Squad was able to complete its mission with minimal losses every time, and gradually gained a certain reputation in both enemy and friendly camps.

While thinking, a strange voice suddenly came from not far away.

"We found the scar-faced captain!"

[Captain Scarface... Could it be...]

Tachihara Masaaki's pupils shrank, and he was about to force himself to go find the captain, but suddenly -

"Boom—"

"Bomm——Boom——"

A large flame suddenly appeared in front of Tachihara Masaaki, and in the flames, Yamaguchi Yota was running towards him.

"Quick! I blew up the supply point, and I heard explosions in other places. Others must have found the supply point as well. Let's go! I just found a perfect hiding spot!"

Yamaguchi Yota excitedly took one of Tachihara Masaaki's arms and pulled Tachihara Masaaki to the right.

"Yota, wait a minute...cough cough...Yota!" Tachihara Masaaki was weakly lifted up.

When Yamaguchi Yota heard what Masaaki Tachihara said, he looked at Masaaki Tachihara with a puzzled look on his face.

Tachihara Masaaki explained: "I just heard that the enemy seems to have captured the captain, we have to go help him!"

"What?! Where? Let's go!"

Tachihara Masaaki pointed to the left, and Yamaguchi Yota immediately picked up Tachihara Masaaki and ran to the left.

Along the way, Tachihara Masaaki felt very uncomfortable being told off by Yamaguchi Yota, but he finally figured out the uneasiness he had been feeling.

[It turns out that the enemy's ultimate target is the boss. In order to lead us into the camp, they deliberately withdrew the patrolling soldiers on the road. Just now, they also did this to prevent the boss from noticing anything unusual in advance. So they left immediately after the sneak attack failed to prevent the sound of the battle from interfering with the action against the boss. I guess the supply point has been moved a long time ago. I'm afraid that even if we can find the supply point, it is deliberately set up by the enemy to confuse us...]

Although he had resolved his inner troubles, Tachihara Masaaki looked nervously in the direction of the captain with a worried look on his face.

"Boss, don't die!"
