Chapter 37 The War Begins

"Let's go, leave the mountain road, go to the nearby woods, find an open space to camp and settle down. We have a lot to do!" Xu Mo calmed down and ordered Lu Yong and the other two.

"No!" Lu Yong and the other two responded respectfully, and they all folded their fists.

Soon, led by hunters who were familiar with the terrain, a group of people found a small valley on the southern foot of Luliang Mountain Road near Jiangcheng. The valley has two exits, one large and the other small, shaped like a small gourd opening at both ends.

There are many rocks in the valley, but after being leveled, large pieces of stone can be used as tables and chairs. Small pieces of stone can also be mixed with mud and water to fill the fences at both ends, making two simple wooden walls to block the harassment of beasts.

There are inclined mountain walls on both sides of the valley. Under the eyes, the height is about 30 meters and the slope reaches 60 degrees. Xu Mo asked that whenever there were people on the tops of the valley, the focus of observation was on the plain in front of Jiangcheng and the Luliang Mountain intersection on this side.

Xu Mo's team, including himself, currently has 59 adult men, 25 young women, 14 children, 4 babies, a total of 102 people, men log wood and women weave straw mats. Before nightfall, two rough fence walls were finally built at the openings of both sides of the valley, and six thatched huts were also built.

Although it is only enough for women and children to take a break for a while, both the villagers and the bandits are very satisfied. The two fences that can only bring psychological comfort have relieved everyone's tense mind for several days. The fatigue of the day also makes everyone find places and clothes to fall asleep after a simple meal.

The next morning, Xu Mo, who was sleeping, was awakened by a noise. He immediately stood up from the lying bluestone and looked around. After a brief questioning, he realized that it was the lookout hand on the top of the mountain on the right that discovered something. Xu Mo felt tight and immediately accelerated his footwork toward the top of the mountain.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Xu Mo found that Lu Yong and the other two were already here. He couldn't help but look down and asked, "Why are you making noise? Why don't you wake me up?"

Among the three, Lu Chen quickly clasped his fists and said, "It was someone who told them not to disturb the leader. The leader worked hard yesterday and was about to rest more. Moreover, it was not that there was something wrong in the valley, but that Yang's army had already set off to the Jiangcheng Plain!"

"Oh!" Xu Mo was shocked. From the night before yesterday to yesterday, his body and mind were in a high state of movement, and he almost forgot that today was the eleventh day of his entry into this mirror world. The war between Yang and Jiang countries began!

Xu Mo hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, walked to the top of the mountain, and looked up at the Jiangcheng Plain in the distance.

Jiangcheng faced Qiuchi's official road, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Through the warm sunshine in the morning, a long dragon spreading for more than ten miles was vaguely seen in the smoke and dust. There were black spots that were already very fast in front of the dragon and left and right. It should be the scout cavalry of the army that was responsible for the alert.

At this time, a deep and heavy horn sound was heard in Jiang City. As the horn sounded, the gate of Jiang City opened, and many black dots gushed out from the city gate, arranged in rows under the city wall, gradually forming square formations with backs on the city wall.

Seeing this, Xu Mo withdrew his gaze, his eyes flashed, and said to Lu Yong and the other two:

"What's the situation in the valley now? How much food do we have in stock?"

Lu Chen stepped forward and replied: "The brothers in the village originally brought out enough meat and food for half a month. After these days of consumption, there are still about 10 days left to store food!"

Lu Yong also took a step forward and replied a little embarrassedly: "The food brought out in Lu's village is not much, and there are still three days of food left."

"Enough! You remember that there is no Chiji Village or Lu Village now. We are all brothers and sisters, all together, and there is no need to divide each other. All food rations are concentrated in one place, so that it can be enough for a hundred people to eat for a week, and there is no need to worry about food for the time being." Xu Mo said slowly.

"No!" Lu Yong and the other two responded with their fists.

"Lu Yong, Fang Mao followed someone down the mountain and watched the battle near the battlefield. Lu Chen stayed in the valley and continued to command everyone to build thatched huts and repair wooden walls. Keep people on the tops of the mountains on both sides of the valley at all times!" Xu Mo ordered the three of them.

"No!" The three of them agreed and turned to go down the mountain.

Xu Mo took Lu Yong and Fang Mao to the top of the mountain, left the valley, and went straight to the battlefield through the Luliang Mountain Road. The valley they camped was not far from the exit of the mountain road, and in a moment they had arrived at the mountain road entrance yesterday.

As he approached the mountain road entrance, Lu Yong suddenly frowned, stopped, and shouted at a shrub on the left side of the mountain road: "Who is it?"

Xu Mo's eyes turned cold. Although his perception was higher than that of Lu Yong, he could not feel the danger. However, Xu Mo's inability to feel the danger does not mean that Lu Yong could not feel the abnormality. As a top hunter, Lu Yong, in the mountains, even if he was a beast with a good hidden hidden place, he could not escape his perception.

Xu Mo pulled out the Blood Demon Sword and looked at Fang Mao. The two of them scattered left and right, surrounding the bushes.

"Captain Nie Li is my mother!" A man slowly stood up in the bushes.

Xu Mo saw this person clearly, a trace of comfort flashed in his heart. Dinah survived tenaciously and said in a harmonious voice: "It turns out to be Wenwen, you and Wenwen will come first, and I will come later."

Dinah was a little embarrassed now, her hair was messy, her clothes were not well-designed, and her face was not very good. She was wrapped in a piece of silk on one shoulder, and blood was still oozing. She looked at Xu Mo and smiled reluctantly.

Xu Mo looked at her carefully and said with relief: "It seems that you are lucky, how is the situation in Lu Village?"

"I couldn't enter Lu Village. When I returned to Lu Village, the entire Lu Village had been broken by wolves. There were wild wolves in front and behind the village. I was soon discovered. If most of the wild wolves in the wolf pack were not only concerned about eating and not chasing them, and you gave me some recovery food, I wouldn't have escaped!" Dinah shook her head and said tiredly.

After hearing this, Xu Mo was silent for a moment and spoke, but didn't know how to comfort Dinah.

"I couldn't enter Lu Village, nor did I see Qin Long. However, I saw Ferro and several others on the hillside outside the village!" Dinah said this, paused for a moment, and said sadly, "Brother K, you're right! Our temporary team is in harmony, everyone is selfish, and it's impossible to live and die together!"

"Ferro is dead, but not by the wolves' mouth!" Dinah smiled miserably, with a hint of exhausted sadness in her words.

Xu Mo closed his eyes and said nothing. He was not surprised at this ending. Perhaps Qin Long was indeed what Dinah said. He was a person with a strong sense of teamwork and selflessness, but others were not. They could not form a stable and united team at all.

When there is no team, Qin Long or Ferro can survive with their outstanding talent and ability, but once they overestimate their ability to help others and organize a team of advances and retreats, they basically dug up their own graves.

This is not because Qin Long’s idea is wrong, but because the timing is wrong. There is no condition for forming a stable team in the current space.

First of all, the first person in the space like Xu Mo has only experienced the second formal mission world, and there is no fundamental gap between strength and other reincarnation people. In this way, it is impossible to form a certain prestige in the team. Once a life and death juncture is encountered, the entire team will be in danger of falling apart.

Second, it is the choice of the members of the team. If you have experienced too little worlds, you don’t communicate much with other reincarnation people, so you won’t understand the abilities and personalities of the members of the team.

There is no stable leader in a team, and the members do not understand each other. Some people are willing to sacrifice for the team, and some are selfish. How much vitality can such a temporary team have? To form such a team, let alone Qin Long, even if Xu Mo is the captain, it will be a flash of pelvis before dawn and cannot see the rising sun.

After a while, Xu Mo opened his eyes and stopped asking Ferro how those people died. He just said to Dinah indifferently:

"What are your plans next?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Dinah could no longer control her emotions and sobbed with her hands covering her face.

Xu Mo stepped forward a few steps, pressed Dinah's head on her shoulder, and stood silently with the woman who was about to collapse.

"Thank you, Brother K, I'm fine!" Dinah cried for a while, let go of Xu Mo, wiped her tears with her hands, and her hands covered in black soil suddenly turned her into a big cat.

Xu Mo smiled, took out a hand towel and handed it over, and said softly: "Let's go, we still have something to do!"

Dinah nodded and followed Xu Mo silently. The two walked towards the exit of the mountain road in the direction of Fang Mao and Lu Yong. The morning sun pulled their backs into long strips and slowly merged together.
