Chapter 937: Redistribution (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The sixth team was also moving very quickly. Although they were marching on foot, they had already covered a kiloter in less than five minutes.
” We’re still about a kiloter away from the battlefield!”
The soldiers at the front ca back to report to Di Daozhang.
At this mont, a staggering figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
When the soldiers saw this, they could not help but mutter.
Who was running around in the wilderness in the middle of the night? Could it be that soone had lost their mind?
When they walked in, everyone reacted and exclaid.
” Captain Zhou?!”
It was none other than the captain of the second team, Zhou Chu!
Di Daozhang had also rushed over after hearing the news and saw the battered Captain Zhou.
“Old Zhou? What happened?”
Di Daozhang looked at him in confusion.
“I… Our troops have been ambushed!”
Zhou Chu said breathlessly.
Di Daozhang hurriedly got soone to pour him a glass of water to calm him down before continuing to ask.
Zhou Chu drank a mouthful of water to catch his breath before saying calmly,
“It was the logistics company who attacked us. They used the forest as a cover, and we were unlucky. The forest was filled with poisonous creatures. Our soldiers went in and provoked those poisonous creatures and were bitten. Then, they took advantage of the situation and attacked us. I saw that the soldiers could not hold on, so they had no choice but to retreat!”
Zhou Chu looked nervous and his tone was very sorrowful.
Di Daozhang said nothing.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Chu for a while.
“How many of you are left?”
Di Daozhang asked slowly.
Hearing this, Zhou Chu’s expression turned even uglier.
“No… I didn’t confirm it in detail. The situation was urgent at that ti, so I retreated first. There should still be survivors on the battlefield!”
Zhou Chu’s voice was very low, and his tone made people feel very sad.
“Captain Zhou.”
Di Daozhang said.
“It’s not that I don’t respect you.”
“It’s just that you know the iron law of the organization. I won’t say anything more. You know the consequences of running away.”
Di Daozhang said in a deep voice.
“Haven’t you considered the feelings of your subordinates? As a commander, you actually ran away when your soldiers were in danger. Let alone us, can you forgive yourself for being so weak?”
“Don’t say anymore…”
Zhou Chu shook his head and said in pain.
” Since things have co to this, there’s no point in saying more. I can only fulfill my duties as an executive officer.”
Di Daozhang’s deep voice entered the other party’s ears.
Then, there was a dull thud.
Di Daozhang walked up to Zhou Chu, who slowly fell on Di Daozhang’s body. Strands of red liquid flowed out of his lower body.
Di Daozhang personally ended this deserter.
When the soldiers saw this scene, none of them made a sound and expressed sympathy for Zhou Chu.
Because fleeing at the last mont was Xiao Yan’s greatest taboo, Zhou Chu received the ending he deserved.
” Throw the bodies away. Let’s continue searching the battlefield over there.”
Di Daozhang said as he pulled out his dagger from Zhou Chu’s body, wiped it with a rag, and put it back into his body.
A few of his subordinates imdiately threw him into a ravine at the side and ignored him.
“Let’s go.”
With that, Di Daozhang personally set off.
Just like that, the main group forgot about Zhou Chu and continued to walk towards the forest where the fierce battle had taken place.
They walked for another few hundred ters.
Everyone heard so subtle sounds coming from nearby.
This was not the sound of the wind blowing leaves or the sound of animals running.
Instead, it was a very frequent rustling sound.
It seed to be coming from the front of the forest.
The forest in front of them was the only way to reach the battlefield.
“Captain, there seems to be sothing wrong with this forest!”
The scout at the front returned to report to Di Daozhang.
Di Daozhang frowned.
He had also heard these sounds.
He also knew that these factors might have a significant impact on his team.
However, they had no other choice. To reach their destination, they had to pass through this forest.
Therefore, the area of this forest was not small, and the naked eye could not see the edge.
Advancing or retreating was a crucial decision that would determine whether Xiao Yan had the upper hand in the war.
According to the sounds they heard, there was clearly a trap. However, if they gave up on advancing, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
This was indeed a dilemma.
“What should we do? Captain Di?”
a soldier asked.
Di Daozhang didn’t think for long before he decided to continue moving forward.
” Reorganize our military forces and march towards the forest.”
“Yes, sir!”
When the soldiers below received the order, they did not hesitate at all and imdiately set off towards the forest ahead.
Without hesitation or doubt, they simply obeyed their captain’s instructions and arrangents unconditionally.
With iron-like discipline, this sixth squad was obviously the most elite troop in Daybreak.
Following the sound of muddy footsteps on the soft soil.
The soldiers of the sixth team entered the dense and wide forest.
“This is actually a swamp!”
Not long after, a soldier in front of them cried out in alarm.
” Be careful, grab onto the climbing objects nearby. Don’t get trapped!”
The nearby soldiers began to remind him.
This was a swamp, which Di Daozhang had not expected.
They had not made sufficient preparations beforehand.
Although they managed to grab hold of the vines and branches nearby, there were still many people. The swamp was vast, and there were already quite a number of people whose bodies were almost completely stuck in the mud, unable to move.
“Maintain order and don’t panic! Those who are not trapped, climb up the tree and walk along the tree!”
Di Daozhang himself had almost fallen into the swamp. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed a thick tree trunk to climb up.
In just a few monts, dozens of the original 500 n were trapped in the swamp, crying out in pain.
Although the swamp wasn’t as deep as it seed, the mud in it was enough to reach the face of an adult. It wouldn’t be a problem for them to be trapped for a while.
A few soldiers nearby exclaid.
“There’s sothing on the tree!”
The person beside the fallen soldier shouted.
