Chapter 172

Lu Shu stood up,

and lightly made a gesture.

Then,

the eight members of the Silver Snake Mercenary Group,

after exchanging a glance with one another,

each slowly retreated,

then plunged headfirst into the forest,

and vanished without a trace.

"They actually...."

"Split up?"

In the meeting room,

watching the members on the screen scatter like ghosts.

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat.

His gaze turned to Song Jun beside him,

with an inquiring, puzzled look.

"Wouldn't it be safer for the whole group to gather together in a situation like this?"

"Even if the advance is discovered, retreating would be easier that way."

Moreover,

it was obvious that the Silver Snake Mercenary Group was centered on Lu Shu.

Wouldn't splitting up at this moment be extremely unwise?

When entering the second military defense zone of Yi Lie Kingdom,

Lin Fan had already grown tense,

he was very curious how Lu Shu would actually get through this seemingly impossible defense line.

But the scene before his eyes,

still left him bewildered.

Song Jun beside him frowned deeply,

thought for a long time,

and finally slowly shook his head and spoke softly.

"I can't see through it either..."

"If his goal is to break through this defense line."

"Breaking the whole into parts can indeed reduce the chance of the entire group being discovered."

"But at the same time, the danger for each individual member has risen infinitely!"

"The targets that need to be hidden went from one group to nine people!"

"Unless..."

Song Jun suddenly thought of something,

and spoke solemnly,

"Unless he doesn't plan to sneak through silently."

"But instead chooses... combat!"

After saying that,

Song Jun seemed to have encountered another incomprehensible bug.

His frown deepened even more.

"But if that's the case."

"The casualty rate of the members would greatly increase, wouldn't it..."

"And he shouldn't allow such a situation to happen!"

"Then the only possibility is....."

"To break through the defense line, he chose to have all the members split up and advance."

"But as the leader, he has a way to remotely control every member, ensuring not a single one dies!"

"But this kind of thing... is it really possible?"

In the night,

at the front-line position of Yi Lie Kingdom,

a military base displaying all kinds of firearms,

a few soldiers preparing to go relieve the guard nervously walked through the base,

as they walked,

still quietly complaining.

"Damn it! I'm dying of sleepiness!"

"Had to get up before dawn to stand guard this morning."

"Now it's just gotten dark and we have to relieve the guard again!"

"It's all because of that damn mercenary group, making all of us patrol 24 hours!"

"You think that mercenary group has something wrong with them?"

"Actually thinking about attacking General Jonathan, must be crazy for money!"

The more they complained,

the more irritated the soldiers became.

They had already been stuck in this place for several months,

eating poorly, sleeping poorly, with no women.

And they still had to go out and fight from time to time.

But starting from this morning,

they were made to patrol nonstop for 24 hours.

Who the hell can stand this?

And all of this started

because some damn mercenary band actually wanted to come here and launch a decapitation strike!

Decapitate General Jonathan?

They really dare to dream!

The more they thought about it, the angrier they got.

One of the soldiers from the Allied Nations raised his rifle,

and slammed the butt hard against the empty air,

laughing as he cursed,

"Better not let me see that mercenary band, damn it."

"Or I'll smash their heads to pieces with this butt!"

"Then kick their balls off!"

"And finally slap a few times across their faces."

"Ask them if they dare to come again!"

"Ahahaha!"

As if imagining a certain scene,

the several soldiers who had already walked outside the base burst into loud laughter.

That soldier still seemed unsatisfied,

and added another sentence:

"Especially their commander. Don't let me see him."

"Or else..."

As he spoke these words,
