Actually, Deng Hong wasn’t stupid; it was just that jealousy and a sense of crisis had clouded his vision, leading him to misjudge the situation. His irrational outburst due to envy towards his deputy was a big taboo on the battlefield! Yet while he was blind to this fact, others were not fools. The opponents were clearly formidable, and even if they used up all their rockets, it probably wouldn’t make a difference, and they would have simply wasted ammunition.
Moreover, because of Deng Hong, this group had completely offended the other party, and it wouldn’t be easy to negotiate. They had only one option: to attack tentatively. If the opponents were weaker than they had anticipated, they would take them down along with capturing Peace Base. If the opponents’ strength was too great, they would have to temporarily retreat and report back to their leader to see what he wanted to do.
As for retreating without a fight, they couldn’t do that—not just because of pride but also because they would not be content with themselves, not to mention they wouldn’t know how to explain it to Ji Chengtian when they returned!
The others instinctively looked at the deputy, urging him with their eyes to speak up and stop wasting time. When Deng Hong caught this exchange, his expression twisted even more, and he glared viciously at them before issuing another order, "Drive the vehicle over there!"
After some thought, the others didn’t resist the order. If they wanted to make a probing attack, being too far away wouldn’t work. Since Deng Hong had said as much, regardless of his reasons, it played right into their hands.
Deng Hong, however, didn’t realize this. Seeing that his subordinates were finally following orders, he let out a sigh of relief while casting a dark look at his deputy, pondering how to remove this threat.
As the distance between the two parties closed, he said to his deputy, "Meng Ping, you’re a Fire Ability user. Wait until we’re closer then attack their tires with fire and disable their vehicle!"
Although Meng Ping knew Deng Hong didn’t have good intentions, he thought this was a good command. If they could destroy the enemy’s tires, the vehicle would be useless. Moreover, they could take advantage of the opponent’s confusion to catch them off guard!
