There are many people who can't hold their breath, and Ou Wu is the first one. He leaned in front of Qi Lang, glared angrily and asked, "You must have heard that bastard's provocation, talk about your feelings, you bastard!"

But Qi Lang's attitude was still ignored. He didn't have the energy to argue with the elm head right now, because in addition to making sure his teammates weren't harmed by poisonous insects, the smell was terrible, and opening his mouth to talk would inhale more of the stench, which was not worth it.

Ao Wu still didn't give up, kept following Qi Lang, and kept muttering: "You coward! you have disgraced the reputation of the Spiral Front, and I will repay everything here truthfully." Just wait, you'll look good then!"

Qi Lang let out a long sigh: "What do you want to say is your freedom, I will not interfere with you." But for now, I suggest that you obey my orders, or I am afraid I will have to ask you to leave this joint exercise. ”

Ao Wu snorted hatefully, suddenly brushed aside the pile of animal bones in front of him, and hurried towards the front of the team with thick legs. His lifting caught the attention of several mutant jackals on the edge of the mire, but they only bared their teeth inside, and did not react further. Obviously, this quagmire is also a no-go zone for mutant jackals, and the unpleasant stench is also unbearable for them.

On the other hand, the mutant jackals don't have to feel sorry for the slow-moving prey, because another group of people has already rushed forward head-on!

Guy is a tough guy indeed. He chose the most direct route - to go straight to the mutant jackal colony!

The soldiers of the Otto Empire did have that capital. They were neatly armoured, with leather armor, steel swords, iron shields, spears, ...... It's all brand new, don't look at the team in Gu Yi's hands, most of them are recruits who have just been in the army for about a year, but the Otto Empire has never hesitated to invest in armaments. Especially since Gu Yi is still the blood of the royal family, how could he allow his soldiers to take a pile of garbage to participate in such an important performance?

The shore immediately fell into a scuffle!

Gu Yi took the lead, and the sword in his hand was wielded vigorously, and each sword brought a wail. Green blood splattered everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, he had already killed a dozen mutant jackals.

The ugly bastards have suffered. Despite the fact that the mutant jackals are fighting on their own doorstep, the invaders are more powerful than they can imagine. Although they had the upper hand in numbers, their small bites were almost powerless compared to those of the soldiers who were good at group fighting.

It seems that the soldiers of Gui's group have reached the rank of beginner warriors and above, and they are all extraordinary, and their faces are full of pride and pride, as if they deliberately want to show off the strength of the Otto Empire with this fierce battle.

However, as the fighting escalated, those soldiers also began to show injuries, except for a few mid-level warriors, almost all of the remaining nearly 100 people were spared, and some of them had some minor injuries on their bodies. But they continued to unleash their onslaught, and the slogan of the charge never stopped.

Qi Lang's team had already traveled farther and farther, and they didn't have the opportunity to see the scene of the battle with their own eyes, but the shouting of killing kept ringing in their ears, as if it was constantly reminding this group of soldiers who crawled into the quagmire that that was the pride that soldiers should show.

The soldiers began to look agitated. Even though they all lowered their heads, as if all their energy was focused on getting out of the quagmire, Qi Lang could clearly observe their expressions. The soldiers' eyebrows were furrowed, as if they were a little dejected, it was obvious that their self-esteem had been hit, and the high morale of their rivals had made them demoralized, and even doubtful of Qi Lang's previous decision.

Gouy's strategy, while grossly irrational, was effective in another way. They managed to give their opponent a dismount, much to the frustration of the proud Spinners. In this sense, Guy achieved the effect he expected. Of course, for this effect, they also paid a lot of price, after all, this is the first day of competition, and it is certainly not a reasonable tactical arrangement to move towards the goal with so many wounded.

It was getting dark, and in about half an hour, night was about to fall. The sound of battle in the distance had stopped, and it looked like the Guys had managed to break through the mutant jackals' defenses, probably clearing the battlefield and starting their way towards the alpha target.

Qi Lang's team had just climbed out of the dirty and smelly mire, and they had to go around in a circle again before they could approach the first target location. In order to pass this first level, they paid the price of three hours, and the loss of morale has not been counted.

Now the hundred or so soldiers stinked to death, and even more stinky than their mud-covered bodies was Owu's round face.

"Are you satisfied, Mr. Vice-Captain?" Auwu pressed up again, "We lost our original lead, this is probably exactly what you want, you useless bastard?!"

Although Owu's attitude is rude, it can actually represent the true thoughts of some soldiers. The fact of backwardness has changed the mentality of most people, and they all hide quietly aside, as if they have nothing to do with it, and clean up the mud on their bodies without saying anything, and they must have complained in their stomachs. They certainly didn't want to lose the competition, and at this moment, they seemed to be starting to feel that it wouldn't be a big deal to go head-to-head with a mutant jackal like that. What if you get a little injury, it's the final victory that really matters.

Qi Lang saw the seriousness of the matter and realized that he had to re-raise the morale of the soldiers, and if this negative sentiment continued to spread, the next competition would inevitably be seriously affected. He raised his voice to Owu and said, "Sergeant Owu, I don't think you realize that you are acting more like a bastard now. In the face of temporary setbacks, you simply fail to show the confidence that a soldier should have. Don't you think it's shameful to hide your cowardice by blaming others?"

Owu's red face turned dark purple, and he yelled angrily: "Don't make excuses! Don't forget, I proposed to charge head-on, and if you hadn't been so scared that you peed your pants, we'd have already rushed to the designated place! It's your fault that you coward has left us behind!"

Qi Lang greeted him without giving in: "I think I have to remind you that the difference between bravery and stupidity is sometimes only a thin line. If you think that the other party's behavior is brave, then you are just as stupid as they are, and you despise this competition just as much!"

"Look, that's what you think you're smart! We're already behind, they're about to reach the alpha target! Can you take us right over?" Oh U's fists clenched tightly, looking like he was about to explode.

"Of course I can't fly there. Qi Lang slowly cast a firm gaze on the soldiers around him, "And I also admit that there is no way for us to reach the alpha target before the other party. But this temporary backwardness has made me more confident in the final victory. ”

The soldiers raised their heads and looked at Qi Lang, all wanting to hear what chance they had to turn defeat into victory.

"The reason why I see it this way is because I see the strength of the other party. Qi Lang fully showed his confidence at this time, "They are participating in this long-distance running competition in a sprinting posture." They may take the lead in the short term, but we are better long-distance runners, and as long as we can keep going, I believe we will eventually catch up with them with perseverance!"

"I totally agree!" Gila shouted sharply, pulling Gulf to Qi Lang's side, "Brothers, this is the first goal, how far behind are we? Half an hour? Can that still be called a gap, even if I have the shortest legs, I guess the idiots of the Otto Empire can't outrun me! Why are you so downcast? You can't be defeated so easily, right?"

The lads were already smiling embarrassedly and raising their chests one after another, trying to show their confidence.

"We're a lot better than them because we don't have that many stupid guys on our team. Gurf also played his part at this time, he glanced at Owu, and said with a little anger, "Shukin just flew around in the past, and she told me that the stupid people of the Otto Empire are too tired to straighten up. They got to the alpha target first, but come to think of it, half of their soldiers have already been wounded, and who on our side has injured a finger? If they can't outrun them, won't it be a big joke?"

When Owu heard Gulf's sarcasm, his face became even more ugly, and he was afraid that he would burst into a curse. But Gila was able to relieve Owu in time, and he grinned and grabbed the conversation: "Our Sergeant Ou has extraordinary courage, and his sense of honor is an example for all our soldiers to follow. Of course, his argument with Vice Captain Qi Lang was motivated by a desperate desire for victory, but I guess he must have realized this a long time ago, and the most important thing is to preserve his strength. As the vice-captain said, this is a long-distance race, and the best laugh is the one who laughs until the end. ”

At the critical moment, these two self-styled high-level backbones really played a key role, and Gulf and Jira sang and harmonized, successfully resolving the hidden crisis in the team, and also helped Qi Lang save a lot of tongues. Qi Lang was finally able to walk up to Owu calmly and said in a conciliatory manner, "Sergeant Owu, I hope you can still show the confidence of the descendants of Gondwana, the soldiers are watching you." ”

"I took note of your rhetoric. But Ou still turned his head in resentment, and shouted in a thick voice, "If anyone can't run, they can come to me for help, and my fists will help him regain his strength!"
