Chapter 1345

Just as Hu Hai was preparing to eat something to fill his stomach,

a series of commotions began within the army.

They were already packing up their things.

While Hu Hai was still somewhat dazed, the great army began to set off one after another.

"Why are we setting off already?"

"I haven't even eaten yet."

Hu Hai was speechless; he hadn't even had a bite to eat.

Were they in such a rush to get on the road?

"Old Fan, what's the situation?"

Hu Hai saw Fan Zeng looking hurried and rushed to ask.

"Young Master, the soldiers behind are catching up, let's go quickly."

"If we're late, we might not be able to leave."

Fan Zeng gave Hu Hai a strange look.

Had this guy slept for a night and still not woken up?

Or had he slept himself stupid?

Had he forgotten what happened yesterday so quickly?

Hu Hai suddenly realized, he really had been a bit groggy from sleep.

Not having time to think further, he grabbed a few potatoes and started eating.

He followed the main force while eating.

These days were passing with some tension.

The great army behind was constantly closing in, giving them a sense of urgency.

Time passed slowly just like that.

Every day was just eating, traveling, and brief rests.

One day... two days... three days...

The distance between the two sides had closed from the original one thousand meters to three hundred meters!

They would only stop when both sides were exhausted.

The road opened in these few days felt like more than all the previous ones combined.

Opening and traveling on the road day and night was unbearable for people.

Complaints arose everywhere among the rebel army; many people couldn't take it anymore.

It was as if a fierce tiger was chasing them from behind, and everyone's nerves were taut.

After all, the difference in numbers was huge, so they couldn't even fight if they wanted to.

It was purely like throwing an egg against a rock.

Noon on the fourth day.

The Imperial Army caught up.

They were only one hundred meters away from the rebel army!

The distance between the two sides was already very close.

If an attack were launched at this moment, they could kill the rebels just by using crossbows.

The rebels tensed up and stood on guard.

This was the first time the two sides had been this close.

This made the hearts of the rebels thump wildly.

At this moment, the rebels were all on high alert.

They didn't even have the heart to open the road anymore.

They were terrified that the Imperial Army would make a move against them.

When they couldn't even save their own lives, why bother opening the road?

They couldn't even escape, so who was still thinking about opening the road?

The rebels stood guard, not daring to make the first move.

The scene became quiet as a result.

Many soldiers in the rebel army didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

They were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Ren Xiao and the others were also nervously watching all of this.

They were wondering if they should find a bush to hide in.

To avoid being discovered and losing their lives.

However, it was right at this moment.

The shouting of the Imperial Army came through.

"Prioritize opening the road, otherwise, execution without mercy!"

"Prioritize opening the road, otherwise, execution without mercy!"

The loud shouting of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was incredibly vast.

It was deafening to the rebels, and their eardrums were even aching.

They stared blankly at all of this.

They hadn't expected that the Imperial Army approaching wasn't to wipe them out.

But to force them to open the road.

This left them speechless; what a misunderstanding this had been.

At the same time, they felt a bit aggrieved, being shouted at like this to open the road.

They had never had such an experience; it was truly the first time.

Following the shouts of the Imperial Army, the rebels didn't dare to stand there foolishly anymore.

If they didn't comply, they might end up being slaughtered.

Without any command, the rebels began to move and started opening the road.

The speed was also much faster than before, and they were advancing forcefully.

Ren Xiao and the other generals breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the war hadn't broken out.

No one was more worried than them.

If the war had broken out, they were no match, and the leaders would definitely have been captured.

This was an indisputable fact.

The generals also gave orders to open the road with all their might.

At this point, there was no retreat to speak of.

As time passed.

When the first batch of people was tired, the second batch took over.

Following that were the third, fourth, and fifth batches...

This speed was much faster than before.

Previously, only 2 batches opened the road; when one batch was tired, they would switch to the next.

Afterward, they would eat, sleep, and rest.

Now, the speed was different.

Several batches rotated without stopping, and there wasn't even time to stop and rest.

They only had a little time to rest when switching people.

Those opening the road couldn't stop; even when eating, they had to be replaced before they could eat.

From noon to night, those opening the road were exhausted.

But there was absolutely no other way; the Imperial Army was right behind them.

If they didn't continue opening the road, they might be in life-threatening danger.

Now it was just exhaustion, which was better than losing their lives.

When night fell.

The Imperial Army finally stopped. ===== CHAPTER 1347 =====
