Chapter Twenty-Seven: Early Departure
The exploration team is an organization similar to an intelligence organization established by Long Qiupeng and Lu, and the members in it are all people he trusts who were personally selected by Lu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info most of these members are not high in combat, but they are agile and good at concealment. Usually others need to walk for two days, but they can get there in one day, at most in one and a half days.
Since its establishment, this squad has opened up wilderness and surveyed the terrain by its own will. They all have keen perception and beast-like vigilance, and they are Long Qiupeng's "dogs" and "minions". It shoulders the dual task of mapping and military early warning. This work is hard and dangerous, and although there are few head-on conflicts, there are still countless unknowns in nature and various civilizations on the boundless continent. In this short period of time, he has already lost two team members.
The work of the exploration team members is very dangerous, but they are all more measured under the training of the deer, so Long Qiupeng will give them some privileges. If they encounter something good in the process of exploration, they can cut it first and then play it, or they can take it for themselves. And whatever the consequences of their actions, they will not be held accountable.
On the other hand, if they encounter danger, they can enter and leave Long Qiupeng's office or accommodation at will and report the situation without any permission.
Therefore, an exploration team member, without notification, suddenly broke into Long Qiupeng's office, which is definitely not a good thing. It is still an optimistic estimate that it is not a good thing, and the situation is critical, and it may even endanger the life and death of the Dragon tribe.
After the explorer entered the house, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and then rolled twice on the ground, it seemed that he ran back with all his strength, and now he was out of strength, and if he ran for another distance, he might not even have a small life.
Long Qiupeng hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up, and asked Lu to fill him with a bowl of water himself. Long Qiupeng handed him the water and said in a voice as calm as possible, "Drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
But in his heart, it was already burning at this time. In a long time, he had never seen a member of the exploration team use their lives to transmit a message, which must be a message that is much more important than a life.
The team member drank some water, gasped for a while before he could open his mouth to speak, and in the midst of his rapid breathing, he squeezed out a sentence: "The Furnace Clan has already found new allies, they have already loaded the food and set off!" ”
Long Qiupeng chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and thought: No wonder I have been feeling restless since yesterday, I was waiting for me here! The member of the exploration team continued to tell what he had learned.
Not long ago, the Furnace tribe reached a deal with another tribe, the Hai tribe exchanged bronze for food with them, and when the exploration team left, the food had been basically loaded, according to the time, the food rescue was going to leave today, and if it was too soon, it would be possible to reach the Furnace tribe tomorrow evening.
After the team member finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood, probably because he was too tired to bear such a strenuous activity, or because his stomach had begun to bleed from hunger and fatigue. However, no matter which possibility it is, it is not something that Long Qiupeng can solve, he specially selected four people to send this hero back to the tribe, and let Xi find a way to treat it. After sending the wounded away, Long Qiupeng realized that he didn't even have time to ask the other party's name.
Looking at the back of the "ambulance" team, he once again fell into thinking, and found that he still underestimated Yan Yan and this vast primitive continent. In terms of time, the time of the alliance between the Furnace tribe and the third tribe was about after the betrayal of the Hai tribe, but before the burning of the Furnace tribe. Presumably, when there was no support from the Hai tribe, Yan Yan began to find a way out for himself the next day.
How could he allow himself to rely solely on a cunning and weird leader of the Dragon Clan who he had known for a short time? Maybe it was luck, maybe he knew that there was a tribe there that could provide them with food, but for various reasons, Yan Yan had not interacted with them before.
The fall of the Hai tribe made Yan Yan feel a sense of crisis, and he quickly found the tribe and exchanged it for a large amount of food at the price of his most important and secret bronzes.
Yan Yan and Long Qiupeng didn't expect that this batch of grain and grass would come in handy so quickly.
A little later, Xiong's subordinates also came back to report that the Furnace tribe sent a small team to the direction of the interior, because of the large number of people and surprise, so they only killed one, caught one, and the remaining one escaped.
The captured men were coerced by the bear to tell the purpose of their trip, and they were ordered by Yan Yan to go to a tribe called Qiutu and urge them to hurry up and send the food.
But Long Qiupeng's attention was not only on this, he found out that this person was the old clan of the Tao tribe, and according to him, there was only one person in the entire team who was from the Lu tribe, and that was the person who was killed by the bear. The rest of the stragglers were laborers and slaves from the Furnace tribe.
The reason why this person from the old Tao tribe chose to betray is also very simple: "The fire god wants to punish the Furnace tribe, and no matter how many truckloads of food he can't save it!" ”。 In the end, he offered nothing more than a full meal.
Yan Yan is such a shrewd, cautious, and even cunning person, how can he allow such a foreigner with unfirm beliefs and a humble status to help him pass on information?
Come to think of it, there is only one reason, that is, there are very few people in the Lu tribe who can have the strength to run so far. This also answered another doubt in Long Qiupeng's heart, obviously the nature of sending intelligence and the exploration team is similar, to be fast and hidden, Long Qiupeng's exploration team is mostly a team of two, no more than three people. Now it seems that Yan Yan doesn't believe that all these people can work for him wholeheartedly, and send a few more people, just to feel that there will always be someone who can reach the hill tribe safely.
Long Qiupeng thought that Yan Yan was about right, and was so frightened that the slave only chose to return to the tribe, or continue to go to the hill tribe. Although the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, there is still a glimmer of life, and if you return to the Lu tribe like this, it will be useless to wait for death.
However, now is not the time to praise Yan Yan's strength, if he said to the members of the exploration team, the food has already been on the road, then there is not much time left for Long Qiupeng, and the original plan to consume two more days for the sake of insurance has also been overturned.
There is such a thing as food, but as long as there is such a thing, what it is, how much it has, it is not particularly important. A full meal will make Yan Yan raise all his strength, step on the Dragon tribe upstream of them, or the Hai tribe downstream of them, and occupy all the food.
"The whole team! Let's go! Long Qiupeng looked at the sun, it was not too late, it was still possible to reach the Furnace tribe before evening, except for the first wave of long-range attacks that required relatively high visibility, and hand-to-hand combat, there was no need for particularly good eyesight, as long as it was good to be able to distinguish between friend and foe under the moonlight and fire candles.
Long Qiupeng asked Xiong's subordinates to go back to fight Xiong first, and set up a standby location, waiting for the large army to go to meet. The rest of the men were divided into two routes, one wave of dragons and deer leading the way through the waterway, and the other wave led by Great Lake, waiting until the nearby Furnace tribe to join Xiong, and then the team was handed over to Xiong to command.
Before leaving, Long Qiupeng asked each of the two teams to carry a rattan frame, which contained a small amount of fuel and a large amount of half-withered leaves and animal feces, which could not burn for a long time, but could produce a large amount of smoke.
He knew that this was incomparable to the wolf smoke on the Great Wall, but it was more than enough as a means of close communication between the lake and the land.
After a few words of explanation with Dahu, they embarked on their respective journeys, the nature of the team attack and the last sneak attack is somewhat different, if it is placed in modern society, this can be regarded as a company-level battle, and in the case of incomplete preparation, it is about to attack, Long Qiupeng still feels that he has no bottom in his heart.
Long Qiupeng, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked in the direction of the Furnace Clan, and then shouted with all his strength: "Let's go!" ”
This sound was powerful and full of energy, and all the Dragon Clan warriors instantly burned with fighting spirit.
The boat opened again, but unlike the last time it was sneaky and silent, the paddler paddled hard, and the water was stirred up by splashes and small whirlpools, as if the world was going to give way to them.
Because of this, it took much less time for the ship to arrive at the designated place this time than last time. It seemed that it took some time for the Great Lake and the bear to converge, and by the time Long Qiupeng saw the fireworks, the sun had already set a little westward, but there was still enough time.
Long Qiupeng shouted: "Go!" "The boat was carrying a lot of rafts, rafts and rafts behind it, and this time there was neither need nor concealment.
The boat was rowed again, and the archers of the first echelon had already put the first arrow on the string. Long Qiupeng's team quickly approached the location of the Lu tribe.
The ship moved very fast, and soon they were spotted by the guards at the docks, but they were all sitting on the ground, spears in their hands more crutches than weapons. It took a great deal of effort to stand up, and to turn and run towards the tribe, apparently to report the news. The other was holding a spear and aimed at Long Qiupeng.
Long Qiupeng guessed that he must have been very powerful before, because at this distance, he could feel that the other party's movements were simple and resolute, he must be a master who had been tempered a lot, and this kind of skillful self-confidence even made him forget his hunger.
But man will not be able to overcome the gravitational pull of the earth, no matter how superb his skill is, how firm his faith is, without strength, everything is meaningless. Not to mention killing Long Qiupeng, after the spear slid in the air for a very short distance after taking it off, it fell into the water with a thud, and the spearman was also taken away because of his excessive force, and he was planted on the ground like a dog gnawing mud.
