Chapter 1558: The Great Net
"Just follow the route you said. ”
The city lord of Rock City showed enough trust in Fengyun, and after listening to the retreat route he planned, he did not raise any objections, and directly made a decision.
"I'm leading the way in front of the head. ”
Fengyun was not polite to the city lord of Rock City, and after he agreed to evacuate according to the route map he had planned, he immediately accelerated to the front of the team, preparing for everyone to follow him.
He was worried that there was a deviation.
This is very likely to happen.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force are all deep into the territory of the cannibal barbarians for the first time, and they do not know much about the terrain and landforms, and in addition to the lack of obvious references, it is very difficult to retreat along the route planned by Fengyun without deviation without anyone leading the way.
Fengyun will never allow such deviations to occur.
Although the expeditionary force has not encountered cannibal barbarians for the time being, and even at a considerable distance from the expeditionary force, there is no trace of cannibal barbarians, but this does not mean that they can rest easy.
On the contrary, their situation will only become more precarious over time.
By scouting at high altitudes, Fengyun clearly discovered that the cannibal barbarians from various lairs who had sensed the anomaly were rushing over.
In other words, a large net against the expeditionary force has been spread, and the further it goes, the tighter the net will be, and the greater the chance that the expeditionary force will be discovered.
In this case, the retreat route planned by Fengyun is even more important, because only by following it can you escape before the great net of cannibal barbarians from various lairs is completely closed.
In fact, when Fengyun planned the route, the principle he followed was also very simple, in fact, there was only one, and that was to see the seams, and to put it more specifically, it was to pass between the cannibal barbarians from various lairs.
As long as they can successfully cross it, the expeditionary force will be equivalent to passing the first hurdle, and although the road after that will still be very difficult, it will finally win a respite.
If you can't even get through the first hurdle, there is almost no possibility of successfully returning to the Terran territory.
However, it is not easy at all to get through the first hurdle, not only to pass through the great net made by the cannibal barbarians, but also to make it impossible for them to discover the expeditionary force, which is not easy.
You must know that the cannibal barbarians, like the totem warriors of the human race, have very good eyesight, and most of the territories of the cannibal barbarians are relatively flat, especially now, a large area centered on the expeditionary force has very few places to hide.
This greatly increases their chances of being spotted by the cannibal barbarians.
If you want not to be detected by the enemy, you must strictly control the distance between the expeditionary force and them, and be fast enough.
In order to achieve such an effect, it is naturally best to have Fengyun, the retreat route planner, personally lead the way.
The city lord of Rock City obviously understood this, and gave full support to Fengyun, and when Fengyun ran to the front of the team, ready to lead the way, he immediately said to the soldiers of the expeditionary force: "You all follow Brother Yun, and you are not allowed to have any objections, and you are not allowed to fall behind. Otherwise, severe punishment will not be granted. ”
"Yes. ”
The expeditionary force was also very clear about its situation and immediately responded.
"Keep up. Fast. All a little faster. ”
The Lord of Rock City urged the soldiers of the expeditionary force to speed up, but he slowed down and finally fell to the back of the line.
It's not like he can't walk anymore.
Although he said that he was not lightly injured in the process of fighting with the giant cannibal barbarian, but after all, he is a shape-shifting powerhouse, and his recovery ability is far from being comparable to that of ordinary totem warriors, plus he has taken some honey crystals, and now although he is still far from fully recovering, there is no problem in following the team.
He fell at the end of the line, in fact, for the good of everyone, to prevent someone from falling behind.
In the current situation, if you fall behind, you will definitely die.
And that's not the worst of it, the worst thing is that the stragglers threaten the entire expeditionary force.
After the cannibal barbarians capture the stragglers, they will definitely torture them and torture the whereabouts of the large army.
The cannibal barbarians are cruel, and it is difficult for people to resist when tortured, and maybe those who fall behind will speak out.
Even if the stragglers can hold on, the cannibal barbarians can also confirm the approximate location of the expeditionary force's large forces based on them, thus narrowing down the scope of the search.
The number remains the same, but the search range is greatly reduced, and the number of cannibal barbarians per unit density will increase dramatically, and it will be much more difficult to pass through the gaps between them, let alone make it impossible for them to be discovered.
In short, ensuring that no one is left behind is responsible not only to those soldiers of the expeditionary force who are in poor condition, but also to the entire expeditionary force owner.
As one of the leaders of the expeditionary force, the Lord of Rock City has the obligation and responsibility to ensure this.
Actually, he wasn't the only one who had the same idea as the Lord of Rock City, and when he slowed down and fell behind the back of the group, he saw another person doing the same thing as him, and it was Shi Fang.
The two of them did not speak, but nodded to each other, and followed closely behind the group, less than two feet away from the soldiers of the expeditionary force in front.
After that, the entire expeditionary force spent on the run, and never encountered the cannibal barbarians, obviously the retreat route planned by Fengyun had an effect, but the faces of the city lord of Rock City and Shi Fang, who had been at the back of the line, showed a worried look.
It's not that they don't trust Fengyun and think that there is something wrong with the path he took everyone, they are worried about whether the state of the soldiers of the expeditionary force is enough to meet Fengyun's requirements.
Soon after Fengyun began to lead the way, they found that he was quite fast, and soon some expeditionary forces that were not in good shape showed a tendency to not keep up.
Although they were gritting their teeth and persevering, the state of the body was difficult to reverse, although there were examples of the will overcoming the body, but it was extremely rare, and he would not think that those expeditionary soldiers who were not in good shape could do it.
If the soldiers of the expeditionary force who are not in good condition can no longer hold on, in order not to let them fall behind, the speed of the whole team will inevitably slow down.
At that time, it will be difficult to avoid being detected by the enemy.
In fact, the fact that Fengyun kept the expeditionary force soldiers moving at a high speed is enough in itself.
It is impossible for Fengyun not to know that many of the soldiers of the expeditionary force are not in a good state, and there is a lot of pressure on them to move forward at high speed, and he still does it for one reason, it can only be that their situation is not good.
