In accordance with Mao Qi's orders, Shanping led the first and third combat teams to the due south direction. Most of Shankui's team had already broken through the encirclement, and a large number of the enemy had fallen.
Just when Shanping was puzzled, Maoqi's voice came from not far away: "Vice Captain Shanping, retreat quickly!"
After hearing Mao Qi's order, Shan Ping quickly directed the first and third combat teams to retreat towards the planned route. After the team completely broke out of the enemy's siege, Shan Ping discovered that it was Mao Qi who was behind.
"Stop!" Shanqi ordered.
Upon hearing Shanqi's order, the first and third combat teams immediately stopped advancing.
"Why are you stopping? Let's go quickly." Just when Shanping was about to lead the team back to pick up Mao Qi, Mao Qi had already arrived at Shan Ping's side.
The terrifying speed of Mao Qi shocked Shanping. However, the situation was so critical that Shanping had no time to adjust his emotions and quickly issued the marching order.
But when he turned back, Shanping glanced at Mao Qi with awe-filled peripheral vision, and said in his heart: "Superior strength, calm in the face of danger, this is called the God of War."
The retreat route chosen by Mao Qi was not only rugged, but also narrow. The teams of the Gudian tribe all wanted to make meritorious deeds, so they all scrambled to get ahead, but in the end they were left far behind by the Shankui team because of the unfamiliar terrain.
Mao Qi led the team and moved forward until they were sure they were far away from the siege of the ancient temple tribe.
Looking at the exhausted but excited soldiers, Mao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The forward generals of the Gudian tribe returned to the camp one by one to prepare for training. Unexpectedly, Gu Chu just asked a few simple questions.
, then turned and left.
"Deputy Captain Yamahira, count the number of people." Uaki climbed onto a big rock and observed the mountain shape before saying.
"Sir, a total of 78 people were lost and 105 were injured, with no serious injuries." After a while, Shanpinghui reported.
"Let everyone repair where they are and let the scout team strengthen their vigilance." After Mao Qi finally gave the order, he jumped towards the top of the mountain. The reason why he was in a hurry to go up the mountain was because during the battle just now, a flash of insight flashed in his mind. Going to the top of the mountain
Just for enlightenment.
The sight of Mao Qi leaving made Shanping feel uneasy, thinking that Mao Qi was still angry with the soldiers who had just disobeyed his orders. Regardless of his physical fatigue, he immediately gathered his team.
Shanping stood on a big rock and said excitedly and angrily: "Fellow soldiers, have you ever seen a general who defeated the enemy alone? Have you ever seen a general who selflessly distributed food to those who once enslaved him? Have you ever seen that?
Is there anyone who puts the prosperity of other tribes on his own shoulders? You should have seen it, because I have. He is Lord Maoqi. Everyone here is the hope of the Shankui tribe and the future of the Shankui tribe.
He is not Master Qi. He has no responsibility for the continuation of the Shankui tribe. But everyone, ask yourself, compared with you and me, he has contributed more during this period. Is it you or me?" At this point, Shan Ping said
He beat his chest and looked even more excited. "And today, there are still people disobeying orders on the battlefield. As a fighting tribe, as a soldier, this is a slap in your own face, and in the face of the ancestors of the Diaoshankui tribe. I know that some people are dissatisfied.
Lord Maoqi, have you ever thought about it, without his command, can you still stand here? Do you know who is strategizing? Do you know who is the master among the thousands of troops who is like no one in the world?
I can't do it, but Master Maoqi has done it all. Now, I will give you one last chance."
Shan Ping's expression became even colder and stern. "I, Shan Ping, hereby swear that I will never betray Lord Mao Qi and resolutely carry out his orders. The team will be renamed Shan Kui Pioneer from now on. As for whether we can restore yesterday's glory, let him go to hell."
Come on. Those who are willing to join the Shankui Pioneers can come to my left, and those who are not willing can leave now."
"Shanqi, you are betraying the Shankui tribe." The general who disobeyed before the battle shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wrong, after following Master Maoqi to realize the unification of the Gushan tribe, it will be the time for me, Shanping, to revive the Shankui tribe." Shanping said bluntly.
"Shanqi, are you sure we can survive until that day?" someone continued to ask.
"I don't know if I can live to that day, but if it weren't for Lord Uoqi, we might not be alive anymore, or we might be like walking zombies, doing things that the world despises." Shanping was also convincing himself.
"Shanqi, you are the God of War of our Shankui tribe. Why do you worship him so much and even become a pawn?"
"This is not worship, but respect. A person who wants to achieve a higher level must have a goal to pursue." Shan Ping responded calmly.
"I am willing to join the Shankui Pioneer and follow Master Mao Qi." Although the disobedient general before the war took the lead in opposition and had a resolute attitude, he was now the first one to walk to the left. Under his leadership, the entire team followed
Stand on the left.
In fact, the strength and commanding ability that Mao Qi showed just now has already conquered every soldier sitting here. They also want to follow Mao Qi in their hearts, but they can't let go of their former arrogance in their minds. And these thoughts and concerns are based on the relationship with Shanping.
Disappeared in the middle of the argument.
"I guarantee that none of you will regret your choice today." Shan Ping said excitedly. "Everyone is repairing on the spot and waiting for Master Maoqi's instructions."
"Vice Captain Shanping, am I here to take the blame?" After the team was arranged, the general who had disobeyed orders before the battle stepped forward and said.
"We'll make a decision after Master Uaki comes back." Shanping replied coldly. However, he was still prepared to say something nice for him. After all, his heroic performance just now was obvious to all.
This wait lasted three days. If it weren't for the fact that he could see the motionless figure on the top of the mountain from a distance, Shanping would really have thought that Mao Qi had run away. However, Shanping's pioneers were not idle, and their training did not fall behind.
"Vice Captain Shanping, what do you think Mr. Maoqi is doing? He hasn't eaten or drank for three days and hasn't moved. Is something wrong?" a squad leader asked curiously.
"Shut your crow mouth, it's not unusual for a master like Lord Maoqi to sit there for a month." Shanping replied.
"One month, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to wait for that day. We are already running out of food." The mountain planer in charge of logistics said helplessly, touching his belly.
"Does eating, drinking, and defecation require you, Master Maoqi? After today's morning exercise, we all went hunting. I don't believe that a living person can be suffocated to death by urine." Yamahira said in a teaching tone, but his stomach was growling.
betrayed his arrogance.
On the top of the mountain, Mao Qi sat cross-legged, his body motionless, but his body was like a surging tide. The spirit of Qi was in the Dantian, and the spirit of wind was in the meridian pool, and they had merged with each other, and they could still live in peace with each other. But the thunder spirit was in the left and right shoulder blades.
and cohesion in the hip bones, not to mention the lack of martial arts guidance, and now the realm has only returned to the ninth level of strength. Although there is an urge to fuse, a breakthrough has not been found. I have no clue and dare not act rashly. After sitting for three days, I had to give up.
.
I returned to the camp angrily, only to find that the team was missing.
"Did I stay at the top of the mountain for too long and all the people ran away?" Mao Qi thought doubtfully.
With doubts, Mao Qi looked around and found that all the tents were there, and there were even flames in the logistics fire...
Just when Mao Qi was wondering, excited sounds came from the distance.
"Vice Captain Shanping, we have caught our prey."
"So we went hunting." Mao Qi secretly thought, and he was a little surprised by their performance.
Several soldiers shouted for a while, but no one responded. Knowing that no one had come back yet, they gathered around the fire and talked excitedly about the hunting experience.
Seeing that the soldiers were chatting enthusiastically, Mao Qi did not disturb him, but stood aside and listened quietly. The more he listened, the more funny he found it. It turned out that these five people spent most of the day and only caught one.
The hare, and it was the hare that was chased in a hurry, knocked unconscious on a stone, and was caught.
"When Commander Shanping comes back, I must ask him to explain this method to everyone." A soldier said happily.
"Yes, if every team can catch a hare, then we don't have to go hungry." Another soldier agreed.
Hearing this, Mao Qi couldn't help laughing.
"Who!" Hearing someone behind them, the soldiers quickly grabbed their weapons, stood up and shouted.
Seeing that the person behind them was actually Mao Qi, the soldiers quickly saluted. They were a little more awe-struck than before.
"A hare will not hit a rock every time. In fact, catching a hare is very simple. Just put a trap next to its nest. As long as there are hares, one person can catch several of them in one night." Mao Qi said the first sentence.
, just catching hares. He didn’t even ask about the situation of the team.
The soldiers smiled awkwardly and thought to themselves: "If we could hunt, we wouldn't be hungry."
"Let's go, I'll take you to catch some more prey." Mao Qi saw everyone's embarrassment and guessed the current situation of the team, so he suggested.
Towards evening, the hunting teams came back one after another. Almost all of them were empty-handed. After counting, they found a hare.
"It's not bad to have broth tonight." Shan Ping joked, looking at the only rabbit.
"Report to the deputy captain, there are still five people from the logistics team who have not returned." The messenger reported the personnel situation.
"It's almost dark, is something wrong? Let the scout team look for it." Shan Ping became nervous.
"No need to look for it, we are back."
Following the words, I looked around and saw five soldiers carrying a deer and pig on their shoulders, with sweat and smiles on their faces.
As soon as Mao Qi came back, he solved the team's food problem, which further confirmed what Shanping said that day. "Without Mao Qi, I'm afraid everyone would starve to death."
After not having enough to eat for a few days, tonight is another day worth celebrating. While Mao Qi and Shan Ping were discussing tomorrow's trip, a soldier came over.
"Lord Mao Qi, Shan Qi takes charge of the crime." Shan Qi said while half-kneeling.
"Sin! I have redeemed my deeds and am no longer guilty." Mao Qi quickly remembered and replied with appreciation.
Shan Ridge was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mao Qi to be so tolerant and didn't even say a word of blame. He was mentally prepared to be scolded and punished, but he didn't expect that it would be over with just one sentence. Shan Ridge returned without any reaction for a while.
"Why are you still hanging around? Go eat some meat." Shanping shouted. He took the opportunity to inform Mao Qi about the team's name change.
Mao Qi nodded in agreement without saying much.
Shankui Pioneer changed the marching route and bypassed the area that was besieged that day, but now he is no longer a fly in the house, because Mao Qi has a map in his hand. Although he has to take a lot of detours, the general direction is quite clear, that is
The Stone Forest Formation of the Ancient Mountain Tribe. The reason why the Stone Forest Formation was set as the target was because Mao Qi believed that the Ancient Palace Tribe was currently in great power, and if the Ancient Mountain Tribe wanted to temporarily avoid the edge, they could only rely on the cards left by their ancestors to protect the clan.
