Chapter 18: Departure
A disciple asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Lei, what are your plans?"
Lei Luo glanced at Dao Yuan and Hu Lie, and said solemnly: "The three of us have no opinion, we must be going, and now, there are still thirty-seven people left." ”
Yang Zhong was the first to say: "Count me in." ”
"I'm going to ...... too"
"And my ......"
“......”
Soon, more than 30 people said yes.
The strength of these people, as required by Tie Kaishan, is at least the initial realm of refining the void, otherwise, not only will the power of self-preservation be too low, but the failure of the mission will affect the entire overall situation.
"Well, there are thirty-nine, and there is still one left!" Lei Luo's eyes looked to the side, and he said sarcastically: "I knew that our First Martial Academy has never been a bad seed!"
Fang Gongzi saw that Lei Luo's gaze fell on him, his face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth for a while and said, "Count me in too!"
The rest of the disciples were either seriously injured, or their strength was not enough, although he himself was also injured, but he was just accidentally cut by the flying stone and broke his arm, compared to others, it was simply not worth mentioning, so at this moment, he was riding a tiger, even if he was full of reluctance, he had to reluctantly agree.
"Okay, I know, our martial arts academy really doesn't have a bad seed!" Lei Luo said again, but the tone and meaning of this sentence were completely different from the previous sentence.
"And ......" Lei Luo thought for a while, and then said: "Just like the three armies can't do without a commander, although our team is not big, there should always be a leader, everyone listens to his orders, so that the action can be unified and the result is twice the result with half the effort!
Many people nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Lei's words are reasonable. ”
Lei Luo said: "Now that the personnel have been determined, then, who do you think will be the leader?"
Yang Chong said: "In my opinion, Senior Brother Dao Yuan is a cut above everyone in terms of cultivation and ability, and everyone has already seen his majesty in killing the retreating assassin in one move, who else can be qualified for this position besides him?"
As soon as the voice fell, many people spoke up again.
Dao Yuan was contemplating other things, and for a while he didn't hear what everyone said.
Lei Luo looked at Yang Chong with a smile, and said in his heart, how can you look at this guy more and more pleasing to the eye! As soon as he wanted to speak, he heard Fang Gongzi's voice sound: "Wait!"
“...... Huh, do you have an opinion?"
Fang Gongzi shook his head and said, "I have no problem with him being the leader, but ...... If there is an accident on the way, resulting in the failure of the mission or even casualties, who should bear the responsibility?"
Lei Luo frowned and said: "There are too many variables in this situation, and it can't be completely pushed to a certain person! If it's because of your own reasons, then you have to be replaced by someone else?"
Fang Gongzi said: "Having said that, a person who does not dare to take responsibility for his companions is not qualified to be the leader!
It makes sense for everyone to think about it, the so-called greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, this responsibility, of course, also includes responsibility, and only in this way can the leader consider things more carefully, rather than acting only on his own will, benefiting himself and harming others.
Hu Lie, who had not spoken, looked at him and said with a smile: "Fang Gongzi said this, do you want to be the leader yourself, or do you want to find a way back for yourself in advance? Fortunately, when you make a mistake because you are not sure, find someone who can shirk responsibility?"
Fang Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "I'm just thinking about everyone's safety, and I don't mean anything else, since everyone doesn't say anything...... Then I'll just say nothing. ”
Lei Luo snorted and touched the Dao Yuan, who was a little unrelenting: "Boss, should you say something too?"
Dao Yuan woke up from his contemplation and said slightly, "What did you say?"
Lei Luo scratched his head: "At the very least, you should also talk to the big handsome." ”
Dao Yuan looked around, took a breath, and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”
......
Inside the tent.
The flickering candle flame shone on Tie Kaishan's resolute face, and a trace of melancholy was clearly visible, and he stood motionless in front of the huge sand table, like a statue.
When Dao Yuan came in, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and he asked, "So fast?"
Dao Yuan smiled: "Decisions are actually not difficult to make, and it often depends on the determination of the person making the decision. Commander, forty of us are already on standby to set off, please give orders. ”
Tie Kaishan nodded with satisfaction, picked up a somewhat wrinkled map from the simple bookcase next to him, and handed it to Dao Yuan: "The demon clan is very smart, and has hoarded grain and grass in three different places, the approximate location has been marked on it, and I have also formulated a feasible route, of course, this is just a reference, you have to decide how to go according to the specific situation." As for the oil and the like, I have ordered them to be prepared, and you can go and get them at any time. ”
Dao Yuan replied and carefully put away the map.
Tie Kaishan took out three more jade pendants and said: "When you start, you can be divided into three groups, this jade pendant is one piece for each group, if the thing is successful, you can crush it, my side will naturally receive the news, at that time, I will decide how to attack according to the information from the jade pendant, and strive to recapture the border city in one fell swoop." ”
"This time, there are many dangers, killing opportunities everywhere, you have to be careful!" Tie Kaishan said solemnly: "The mysterious beasts on the way are better to say, with your strength, it should be very easy to deal with, the most important thing is to be careful not to be discovered, although it is not considered the hinterland of the demon clan, but it is the other party's sphere of influence, once the whereabouts are exposed, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"If something happens on the way, the vast mountains can be your place of refuge, and if possible, I will send someone to meet you according to the above route, this is a section that you should keep in mind. ”
"Don't worry, Dashuai, I will tell the senior brothers to be careful!" Dao Yuan said respectfully: "If there is nothing else, then we will set off late at night so as not to attract attention." ”
Tie Kaishan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll let General Yuan give you a ride." ”
......
In the quiet night, a group of more than 40 people quietly left the barracks and disappeared into the darkness of the east.
More than two hours later, at the foot of a mountain full of troubled times, Yuan Zhenghao stopped his figure and said to Dao Yuan and other disciples: "Our current location is about more than 100 miles east of the Soul Lock Pass, the terrain here is dangerous, the demon clan will not send people to guard here, turn over this mountain, and then go south for about half an hour, it is the territory of the demon clan." ”
He clenched his fists at everyone: "Everyone, I will send you here, everyone should be careful on the road ahead! On the day of triumph, I will wait in the border city with the handsome man to catch the wind and wash the dust for everyone! Take care!"
"General, take care!"
Everyone returned the salute with their fists, and then followed the Dao Yuan, and walked over the mountains and mountains with agility.
Yuan Zhenghao's words are right, this mountain range is indeed not guarded by the demon clan, but there are inevitably tigers, wolves, snakes and insects hidden, but everyone's strength is more than enough to deal with these ordinary beasts.
......
The morning sun is born, and the weeds that grow in the cracks of the stone are hung with drops of crystal dew, which looks like the purest gem.
In a small mountain col, Dao Yuan and the others rested for a while, recovering their strength while eating.
"No wonder the demon clan wants to invade our place, their environment here is really bad! It's also the border, we still have at least some jungle green trees there, but here there are only sparse and yellow weeds, not to mention people, animals are not easy to survive!" A disciple looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but say.
Another disciple smiled and said, "Then it goes without saying! The territory of our human race is the richest and richest in the entire continent, otherwise, how can it become a paradise in the eyes of other races!"
The previous disciple said: "You are right, but I heard that there are still many borderless lands, such as minerals, elixirs, and strange things of heaven and earth, which are even more unknown, so what do you say?"
Hu Lie said: "The borderless land is either a harsh environment and unsuitable for survival and habitation, or it is dangerous, and all kinds of fierce beasts are nowhere to be found. Unless it is cultivated to a high enough level, it is simply difficult to move an inch in that kind of place, and it is killing every step. Although the demon clan is desolate, it is still much better than those sinister places. ”
Everyone talked and laughed, and each talked about the strange things they knew, one of which was a relief for boredom, and the other could also dilute some nervous feelings.
After a short time, after filling their stomachs and recovering their strength, the group set off again, cautiously looking for a way in the southeast direction.
