The sixth team was also moving very quickly. Although they were marching on foot, they had already covered a kilometer in less than five minutes.

” We’re still about a kilometer away from the battlefield!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The soldiers at the front came back to report to Di Daozhang.

“Yes, maintain this state and go straight to the front line!”

Di Daozhang said calmly.

He knew that the longer he stayed, the greater the possibility of danger.

They were Daybreak’s greatest hope now.

After walking for a few more minutes, they were less than 500 meters away from where they were just now.

The soldiers could clearly see the charred forest ahead and the miserable state of the Daybreak soldiers on the ground.

“Captain! They are our people! It seemed like they had been ambushed by the other party! Heavy casualties!”

Di Daozhang frowned. As he had expected, the second team had most likely met with misfortune.

At this moment, a staggering figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

When the soldiers saw this, they could not help but mutter.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Who was running around in the wilderness in the middle of the night? Could it be that someone had lost their mind?

When they walked in, everyone reacted and exclaimed.

” 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 someone 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,

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“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 time, 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.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“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 come 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 moment was Daybreak’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 immediately 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 meters.

Everyone heard some 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 seemed 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 something 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 Daybreak 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 immediately set off towards the forest ahead.

Without hesitation or doubt, they simply obeyed their captain’s instructions and arrangements 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 moments, dozens of the original 500 men were trapped in the swamp, crying out in pain.

Although the swamp wasn’t as deep as it seemed, 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.

” How many people were hit?!”

Di Daozhang asked the adjutant beside him.

“Captain! After our rough inspection, more than thirty of our brothers are trapped inside!”

the adjutant replied loudly.

“Is everyone else on the tree now?”

“Yes, I am! Other than those people, the other soldiers have climbed up the trees here!”

Di Daozhang glanced at the ground. He could not see the end of this muddy swamp. It was obviously impossible to walk this distance.

“Those on the trees, look for strips, branches, or tree trunks. Try to pull the brothers below up!”

Di Daozhang ordered again.

Although these people were trapped, they were not injured. Moreover, his team could not give up on his brothers for no reason. Di Daozhang decided to take the time to save them first.

However, just as he finished speaking, he heard a miserable cry. Then, a soldier fell from the tree and fell straight into the swamp. He quickly sank into it and stopped moving for a while!

” What’s going on?!”

A few soldiers nearby exclaimed.

“There’s something on the tree!”

The person beside the fallen soldier shouted.
