<h4>Chapter 1801: Chapter 1802: Braving the Dragon’s Den and Tiger’s Lair</h4>


    Just as the two were discussing things, Tie Zhuzi came running in excitedly and looked at Xiang Yu, saying, "Brother Yu, the brothers are all getting ready."


    "Tell Ren Qing that the second squad will also join the mission tonight. Also, bring along that armored vehicle," Xiang Yu said solemnly.


    Tie Zhuzi knew they were nning something big this time, nodded enthusiastically, and said, "Got it, I’ll call Ren Qing right now."


    Seeing Tie Zhuzi’s excitement, Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Brother, is it necessary to make such a big scene? The defense at that prison doesn’t seem very tight."


    Xiao Xuan had followed Xiang Yu on many missions, some even more dangerous than this prison, but he had never seen Xiang Yu so serious.


    "You’re underestimating Ailock. He definitely won’t let us rescue Wu Jing easily; this is surely a trap," Xiang Yu said as he looked at the map. "Xiao Xuan, contact the brothers now, and have them check for any movements around?"


    Xiao Xuan nodded and then picked up the phone to dial out.


    Tie Zhuzi, on his end, picked up the phone to call Ren Qing.


    Ren Qing was in charge of the second squad, stationed at Base Two. He’d been busy expanding his influencetely.


    He also knew Xiang Yu had gotten into trouble, but since Xiang Yu hadn’t asked him to get involved, he didn’t ask further.


    Now, suddenly receiving Tie Zhuzi’s call, he knew it was time for him to step up.


    "Have all the brothers stand by; we have a big operation tonight," Tie Zhuzi said with an indescribable excitement.


    "Everyone?" Ren Qing asked, somewhat surprised.


    "That’s right, everyone," Tie Zhuzi emphasized. "Get ready quickly, I’ll call you soon."


    Tie Zhuzi hung up the phone directly after speaking, he wasn’t aware of the specific n, only that there would be a big operation tonight.


    Ren Qing didn’t ask more questions, he hung up the phone and immediately started gathering the brothers.


    He had always trained the brothers strictly, following Xiang Yu’s principles that consistent training would lead to fewer sacrifices on the battlefield.


    The brothers of the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps were already sick and tired of the routine; daily training without realbat exercises was getting to them.


    Now, finally having an opportunity, each of them was so eager that they couldn’t wait to get on the field and fight.


    "Brother, the brothers have investigated the scene. There’s no movement around," Xiao Xuan reported.


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, "How far is the nearest military district from the prison?"


    "Their nearest military district is here. By car, it’d take about an hour to arrive," Xiao Xuan pointed at the map.


    They had already investigated all conditions here; if their actions were swift enough, they could rescue Wu Jing before the opposing army sets out.


    "Zhuzi,e here," Xiang Yu called out.


    Tie Zhuzi, standing outside, heard Xiang Yu calling him and then hurriedly ran in.


    "Brother Yu, should we start the operation now?" Tie Zhuzi asked eagerly.


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Bunker down with the first squad here, and without my signal, don’t move."


    Tie Zhuzi spent a long time looking over the map before nodding, "Got it, Brother Yu, I’ll bunker down now."


    Xiang Yu checked the time; it was already afternoon, only a few more hours until night fell. Then he nodded and said, "Remember, don’t act without mymand, use the fireworks as a signal."


    Seeing Xiang Yu so serious, Tie Zhuzi understood the gravity of the situation, thus nodded, "Rest assured, Brother Yu, I understand the stakes."


    Xiang Yu nodded in acknowledgment and motioned him to go prepare.


    Tie Zhuzi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother Yu, if I’m taking the first squad over there, should I take the armored vehicle as well?"


    Xiang Yu knew Tie Zhuzi couldn’t resist the allure of the big guy, nodded, "You can take it."


    Only then did Tie Zhuzi run out excitedly.


    "Brother, isn’t it too hasty to let Zhuzi lead the first squad?" Xiao Xuan asked worriedly, frowning.


    Given Tie Zhuzi’s fiery temperament, he was prone to impulsivity, which was somewhat unreliable.


    Xiang Yu shook his head with a smile, "Tie Zhuzi is the most obedient. Having him lead the first squad now is actually the safest."


    Xiang Yu didn’t dwell on the matter and then pointed at a ce on the map, "Call Ren Qing, have him guard this location with his men, and ensure they bring enough elixirs."


    Xiao Xuan nodded as well and then picked up the phone to dial out.


    After the call, he saw Xiang Yu quietly sitting on the sofa and said, "Brother, take some rest."


    Xiang Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "I’m not tired; let’s rest together after rescuing Wu Jing."


    As the sky outside gradually darkened, Xiao Xuan prepared his equipment and set out first.


    In this mission, he continued to y the role of a sniper; he had already identified his sniping target point.


    Currently, Base One was virtually empty; aside from some defensive personnel, everyone else had gone toward the prison.


    If an external enemy attacks at this time, they could easily capture it.


    However, Jackson’s maze designy within; anyone unfamiliar with the ce who barges in would surely get trapped.


    Xiang Yu went alone to Rff’s room; Rff was already awake by this time.


    Upon seeing Xiang Yu enter, Rff’s face bore no expression, he said, "Sess or failure depends on tonight."


    "Why did you establish the rebel army?" Xiang Yu asked calmly.


    "No particr reason, just a preference," Rff responded with equal calmness.


    Xiang Yu knew he wasn’t being truthful, but he didn’t ask further and said, "I will let you go once I’ve rescued my brother tonight."


    "So confident?" Rff turned his head and looked at Xiang Yu.


    "Even if I have to blow up the entire prison, I will rescue my brother," Xiang Yu said before turning to leave.


    "Xiang Yu." Rff suddenly called out; this was the first time he called Xiang Yu by name.


    "Join us, if you can join, I’ll let youmand the whole army," Rff said earnestly.


    For some reason, at this moment he suddenly admired Xiang Yu greatly, believing this young man surely would aplish great things.


    "You’re overestimating me; I’m just a simple person," Xiang Yu said before leaving without pause, striding out.


    The sky had already darkened, and Xiang Yu drove alone toward the prison.


    The prison was built outside the city in a rtively remote area. It was unclear why this prison was built here; however, Xiang Yu didn’t have time to ponder anymore.


    Alone in the dark night, Xiang Yu drove. From afar, two beams of light from the car’s headlights could be seen.


    "Look, there’s a caring over there," someone pointed in the distance amidst the darkness.


    "Should we stop him and ask?" another person said.


    "Everyone shut up; that’s Brother Yu driving the car," Tie Zhuzi whispered quietly from the darkness...
