Leng Ran followed the group of people to a quiet corner.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhan Ying, a level 3 mecha soldier, specializing in various hybrid mechas, especially the 'Vulcan'. This is my younger brother Qing Che, a level 2 mecha soldier, also specializing in hybrid mechas, with a preference for the 'Snowflake'."

"Thank you for what happened just now, Qingche." Leng Ran looked at the young Qingche, but the other turned his head to the side, avoiding Leng Ran's gaze.

"It's just a little effort."

"Don't let my brother's fierce appearance fool you, he's actually quite shy. Please forgive him," Zhan Ying said, seeing Che turn his head away and worried that Leng Ran might misunderstand.

"I am Weiwei, the team commander, and I am level three, just like Yingying," a cute-looking girl said softly.

"Hello, I'm Shumo, a level three mecha designer," said the refined-looking young man wearing glasses on the other side.

“Silver Moon, a level one mech soldier, currently only has Chasing Life.” Leng Ran looked at Captain Zhan Ying, “With your team’s configuration, why would you invite me? A mech soldier who is only level one?”

"Should I call you Silver Moon, or the 'Life Chaser' from the newbie camp?" Zhan Ying raised an eyebrow. "Many bloggers on the Star Wars forum are making challenge analysis videos for you."

"And I, Zhan Ying, enjoy making friends with experts like you."

Leng Ran asked in confusion, "The newbie camp doesn't disclose player IDs, so how did you recognize me?"

“Silver Moon, there are no absolute secrets in Star Wars,” Zhan Ying smiled, revealing her teeth. “In any case, I believe you are capable enough to handle this mission.”

Leng Ran stopped worrying about it; the most urgent task was to upgrade the mecha to level two.

The level 1 mech's blocking effect is too strong, and the fragile nature of the Chaser is brought to its extreme by the level 1 mech, to the point that it will be destroyed if it is hit by the laser cannon even once.

He asked coldly, "So, what is the mission this time?"

Commander Vivi began, "This mission is an extremely difficult assassination mission. The location is a small instance, Windwind Battle Fortress, and the target is the fortress's defense commander."

Leng Ran continued, "Um, do you have an internal terrain map? And, what's the mission plan?"

Vivi sent Leng Ran a document via the game terminal.

"Fengxiao Fortress has two entrances, one in the north and one in the south. According to the intelligence sent back by previous players, the mission objective is in the main control room on the top floor of the fortress. There are many traps inside the fortress, and many patrolling mech soldiers, mostly level two and level one, and their patrol time is without any loopholes."

"As soon as these soldiers spot an intruder, they will sound the alarm within ten seconds. At that time, all the mech guards in the building will be activated and attack the player team."

"Among the teams that passed the level before, very few were able to kill all the mech soldiers within ten seconds. Most of the teams that passed the level used a strategy where one person would avoid the traps and sneak in to assassinate, while the others would launch a frontal assault to draw fire."

"The mech soldiers will prioritize attacking the team that initiates the attack, which is the four people fighting head-on. If the team that attacks head-on falls first, the soldiers will then move on to search for the remaining person."

"As long as the four people in front can hold out long enough, or the assassin in the back can do it fast enough, the chances of success are very high."

"So, I'm the '1' in the 4-1 tactic?" Leng Ran nodded. "I can do it."

“On the surface, the person infiltrating for the assassination doesn’t have to face the onslaught of mech soldiers, but they will encounter many dangerous traps along the way, so they must be vigilant,” Vivi added.

"Then, the four of us will enter from the south gate. The first patrol team only has three people, and we can end the battle within ten seconds. However, the number of patrolling mech soldiers will continue to increase exponentially."

"We anticipate that if we cannot end the battle within ten seconds during the third wave, the alarm will officially sound. In other words, you, Silvermoon, will have at least six minutes of absolute safety to enter through the North Gate and assassinate the commander."

After glancing at the map, Leng Ran realized that the fortress had three floors, and the commander's room was at the end of the southeast corridor on the third floor.

To get to the third floor, you must go through the stairs on the south side of the second floor and the stairs on the north side of the first floor.

The staircase on the north side of the first floor is very close to the north gate, about 300 meters away, and there are patrolling soldiers along the way. The second floor is the office area, and there are no patrolling soldiers there.

The commander who carried out the assassination on the third floor would not stay inside the mech, but would be protected by a level 3 soldier.

The exact nature of the mechanism on the second floor is still unclear. I've heard that the mechanism changes each time, and we'll only know for sure once we get there.

Vivi: "Silver Moon, in most cases, the patrol guards will spawn closer to the South Gate. Patrol the South Gate first, then the North Gate."

"But there will be exceptions. Patrol guards will spawn at the North Gate and arrive at the North Gate staircase within two minutes. You must find a way to avoid them. If you cannot deal with all the guards within ten seconds, they will issue a wanted notice for you. At that time, all the robots will prioritize killing you."

He nodded coldly: "Okay."

"Let's go!" Zhan Ying opened the game terminal, selected to teleport to the mission instance, a flash of white light, and the group was no longer in a quiet alley, but in a gray giant fortress.

Fengxiao Fort.

Leng Ran separated from Zhan Ying and the other three as planned and headed towards the north gate, while Zhan Ying and the other three entered through the south gate.

Leng Ran didn't stop as soon as she entered the north gate. Following the map she had memorized, she rushed straight towards the south staircase.

Soon, Zhan Ying and her group will face a massive horde of guards and will be under considerable pressure. What she needs to do is assassinate the commander as soon as possible and end this mission.

The stairwell was now in sight, and Leng Ran quickened her pace again, wanting to rush through it in one go.

Just then, Leng Ran heard footsteps coming from the corridor ahead. This wave was expected to consist of three units!

Patrol soldiers have spawned on the north side!

Leng Ran, who had just accelerated, couldn't stop. Since he couldn't dodge, he had no choice but to face the enemy head-on!
