Chapter 1708: discuss

"Well, go, take more people over, don't let me find that you will say this next time." Huang Lie's expression returned to softness and patted the adjutant on the shoulder.
From these small details, it can be seen that he is at the top level in both command and treatment. This is also the reason why the Silent Crusade senior can hand over more than 50,000 people to him.
After getting Huang Lie's consent, the adjutant waved his hand and led hundreds of people to the front. They were divided into three groups, each with more than one hundred people, each walking towards a forest.
Huang Lie led a large group of troops to stay in place and waited quietly. From time to time, he would forget the direction of the woods until all the people who went to investigate went in.
Originally, Huang Lie also felt that there would be no danger in the woods. After all, from the information he received, the people in the West Wind Fortress did not have time to deal with them. He was just trying to be careful.
But as time passed, Huang Lie felt something was wrong, because people who entered the woods did not come out for a long time, and there was even no sound, as if they had disappeared.
You have to know whether it is daytime or morning, with plenty of sunlight and a wide field of vision without any interference.
Even if the person entering the woods is attacked and unable to resist the enemy, there will still be a voice, and it should not be dead silence.
After waiting for ten minutes and there was still no news, Huang Lie couldn't help but beckoned again, letting hundreds of people walk toward the woods again.
And he made it clear to these people this time, as long as he found anything wrong and left the woods immediately or shouted loudly, he would immediately send someone to support him.
At first, Huang Lie thought that with his explanation, he would receive a little information this time again.
However, Huang Lie was wrong again, because the people he sent in still didn't come out, and there was no slight movement, exactly the same as the previous group.
Seeing this weird scene, the people on the side of Silent Crusade were a little scared, and Huang Lie was also a little flustered, not knowing what to do.
Keep going, these three woods are too weird. If you don't figure out the situation, something may happen.
Just retreat. He was scared back without seeing the enemy. Huang Lie didn't dare. After all, they wasted so much manpower and material resources.
If facing the enemy face to face, Huang Lie is not afraid, but facing the unknown, he is still a little imaginary...
After struggling for a while, Huang Lie finally ordered a defensive formation to walk towards the three woods.
Although his instinct told him that he had to retreat, they had spent so much time on this trip. If they had just retreated like this, he would not be able to explain to him.
In addition, Huang Lie would have to carry the infamy of running away without the enemy even seeing it.
Therefore, Huang Lie planned to see the enemy no matter what, and lead the team to leave after confirming that he was lost, so that their senior management would not be able to blame him.
As for why he didn't continue to send people to investigate, it was because Huang Lie felt it was useless.
If the people who go in still cannot get out, they are just wasting their troops...
Originally, their number was more, but the tens of thousands of forwards who were sent out to clear the way were killed by the returning army, so only more than 4,000 were left.
It is no exaggeration to say that this lineup is extremely powerful even before the end of the world, let alone after the end of the world when humans are scarce.
They encountered countless waves of attacks on the hundreds of kilometers from Ori City to West Wind Fortress, including infected bodies and mutant beasts, all of which were repelled one by one, which was enough to prove their strength.
The man responsible for leading the team was a middle-aged man named Huang Lie. He was stable, his troops were changeable, and his position in the Silent Crusade was extremely high.
This time the Silent Crusaders sent him out, just because of his prudentness, hoping that he can take the Westwind Fortress with minimal loss.
Looking at the quiet road in front of him and the woods in three directions, Huang Lie riding a deer mutant suddenly raised his hand, signaled the team behind to stop first, and looked down at the map in his hand.
Running overnight made his eyes flushed, but this did not reduce his alertness. Intuition and experience told him that this area was extremely vulnerable to ambushes.
Although he had no basis to prove that there were people in the woods, it was his instinct that allowed them to walk here without suffering much loss all the way.
Of course, this is why they only took so many days to walk a hundred kilometers...
"Sir, what's the matter?" Huang Lie's adjutant stepped up and asked.
"We are very close to the Westerly Fortress, but I feel that there may be an ambush ahead." Huang Lie pointed to the map, which marked the location of the Westerly Fortress and the route they traveled, and they were detailed everywhere.
As for where this hand-painted map came from, Huang Lie didn't know. He also suddenly received the task of attacking the West Wind Fortress a few days ago.
And the superior who gave him the task also said that the people in the Westwind Fortress were the ones who attacked the inner city last time and destroyed their Silent Crusade Research Institute.
Originally, Huang Lie was still very confused about this task, but when he heard the news, his anger immediately concealed his doubts.
Because the research institute was destroyed, it dealt a huge blow to their Silent Crusades and Ori City, and their efforts since the end of the world were in vain.
I didn’t know who did it before. Now I know who the enemy is. No one who is silent crusaders can bear it!
Therefore, Huang Lie directly shouldered the heavy responsibility of attacking the West Wind Fortress, and led the team to set off on the same day, with the mentality of being benevolent if he failed.
They played steadily along the way, focusing on being careful. They drove during the day and camped at night to minimize the casualties of their own personnel. They did not come here until today...
"Impossible, sir, the superior said that the West Wind Fortress is facing the attack of the Zerg creatures, and it is already difficult to protect itself. How can they still have time to ambush us." The adjutant said in a relaxed tone, "And we were not found along the way. The people at Westwind Fortress shouldn't know that we are here."
"Should? You forgot that our striker was beaten back by them just before? How many times have I told you to be cautious in doing things, and you can't lack awe in everything. Where did you hear that?! As a commander, you Should I use this kind of term?!" Huang Lie directly scolded his adjutant.
"Sorry, sir, it was my carelessness. I shouldn't say that. I will immediately take someone to the woods ahead to check until it is safe to come back and notify you!" The adjutant lowered his head and spoke to Huang with a serious face. Strongly apologize.
Because he understands that Huang Lie's words are for his own good, as a commander-level figure, a little carelessness when marching will bring disaster to the entire team.
