The Favored Son of Heaven

“Since our objective is to prevent the opponent from acting too intensely, the best way is to make a direct assault!” Qin Fen slammed his fist directly on the target base shown on the projected map, “The opponent won’t be as alarmed when they identify only six of us. They might not even be surprised and hence unable to react accordingly when they realize our fierce assault abilities.”

Jessica Wehr nodded in agreement. Countless monitoring equipment should be installed around the perimeter of such a secretive base, making infiltration attacks the focus of their monitoring. A direct attack, however, would be a much better choice under such circumstances.

War was waged with unconventional strategies to surprise the enemy. This time, a very small number of elite soldiers were chosen to attack them head-on! Jessica Wehr’s evaluation of Qin Fen became more positive once again. This young man has a smart and clear mind with a proper plan of action. No wonder his squad was categorized as SS grade intelligence on the information given.

Qin Fen went through the main details of the operation quickly and concisely. As he put away the electronic map, he walked to the Red Lotus Phantom mobile armor nearby and said, “Everyone! Target! The Sahara Desert, Insect Warriors!”

The Sahara Desert is considered the Earth’s largest desert, encompassing most of North Africa. It was the largest area of wildland on Earth besides Antarctica.

Here, there were large numbers of dry and waterless basins. The highlands were even rockier and devoid of most flora. With steep mountains and undulating sand dunes, It was a seemingly never-ending sea of sand.

The high heat made the air so dry that one could see water evaporating into the air from afar. The entirety of the desert was surrounded by suffocating golden sands.

This was the Sahara Desert, the largest desert on Earth. Formed millions of years ago and almost devoid of life, even the Federation Army only stationed here for a short while with occasional launching of automated scanners to identify the presence of terrorists that might be building a training camp here.

In the quiet yet disturbing skies of the Sahara Desert flew a large military aircraft with thunderous, roaring engine noises. Due to its low altitude of less than a hundred meters from the ground, dust of sand clouds were formed behind the tail of the plane.

Rising up and down, the sand clouds resembled a recently awoken dragon that slumbered for millennia.

The five special forces soldiers on the plane clenched their fists and stared at the huge screen in front of the plane.

Flying at low altitude! It was a commonly known rule to forbid flying in extremely low altitudes, even more so when flying over oceans and deserts.

The Sahara Desert wasn’t as flat as the plains of Pingchuan. The desert was littered with countless sand dunes that were enormous and able to move. Furthermore, there were also countless rocky mountains littered all over the desert. One might even crash into the mountains by accident at normal flying speed.

If you fly at an ultra-low altitude with ultra-fast speed, you would still be horrified and drenched in sweat even if you were a battle-hardened special forces soldier.

The spirit of not being afraid of death was expected of a soldier. However, sitting in a plane flying in a suicidal manner only to be buried alongside the plane was unacceptable and shameful for Feng Lu as a soldier. Bitterness encroached his lips while he awaited his fate of dying in a crash.

Sixteen Mach! Feng Lu looked at the number displayed on the dashboard nearby and felt a sudden numbness in his scalp as his stomach began to twitch from the cold. For him to be able to fly freely over such number a of sand dunes at such speed was not an ordinary Royal pilot as recorded in the given information, but a super ace Royal pilot!

Jessica Wehr sat in silence as she gauged Qin Fen. This commanding officer that chose para dropping for site entry was extraordinary in his comprehensive abilities among the special forces soldiers. In order to avoid enemy radar detection, the flying low was indeed the best strategy.

It was also the riskiest strategy, of course. A simple mistake would cost the lives of everyone before the mission even began.

Beep… beep… beep…

The electronic map of the plane sounded a burst of warnings. Qin Fen’s face became more serious as he pulled back the joystick of the large fighter out of a sudden and turned the plane upwards sharply!
