"On what basis did you come to this conclusion?"

Lu Yu was still not very convinced by what Dong Haoran said, and wanted to ask why.

"If these natives had connections to the outside world, they wouldn't have been so poorly weaponized, and we wouldn't have been able to defeat them so easily, who were significantly outnumbered by us."

"On the other hand, in the past few years, there have been aborigines around our Jilong Harbor who have been perseveringly watching, and the commander of the special operations battalion Yamamoto Company has been scolded by the hall master for these natives who can't be killed, and the other party just doesn't give up harassing our Jilong Harbor, and even ran to several villages around us to loot a lot of villagers, and so far no bones have been found."

"Looking at the long-planned actions of this group of natives, and their calm attitude in the face of our warriors' attacks, doesn't it prove that this group of opponents has been secretly eyeing our chicken coop harbor for countless days?"

Understand Haoran's words were simple and direct, but they also made Lu Que have to think carefully, and finally couldn't help nodding in agreement.

"With this conclusion, then there are two paths before us now." Just after analyzing the opponent's unexpected behavior clearly, turning his head, Dong Haoran raised a bigger question: "Should we follow the traces left by this group of natives and find their lair, or should we continue to move towards our goal of convergence and put this group of natives aside?" ”

Dong Haoran's unexpected question stunned the team members, including Lu Yu, and then reacted that this is indeed the most important issue they should be concerned about now.

"Of course, let's hurry up and meet with Captain Wu Shu of Bengang first, isn't our task to open up the land passage between Bengang and Jilong Port?" Below, a young battalion commander stood up and said loudly: "This road was not smooth, we have been delayed for a lot of time, and after we cross this mountain, we will have a smooth road in front of us, and it is a good opportunity for us to catch up with the time we had delayed before." ”

On the other hand, Yamamoto disagreed with the young battalion commander's opinion, and said in a slow but very pertinent tone: "Our mission is to clear the unstable factors in the coming road, open the passage between the road and Bengang, and join the Bengang Shark Department and the alliance team. ”

"In this order, clearing up the unstable factors is actually an important part of our mission, otherwise there would be no need to dispatch our two thousand members of the whale department." Yamamoto's words also have his own truth, but it seems that the difference between his reason and the other battalion commander is that they have different understandings of this order.

However, as he continued, everyone couldn't help but start to pay more attention to this opinion he raised: "If we ignore this group of natives and let them continue to stay in this area, they will definitely become a problem for all of us in the future." Since the head of the regiment wants to open up land transportation, the purpose of our trip, in addition to converging with Bengang, is more important to identify the targets that threaten our future land transportation along the way. ”

"Think about it for yourself, if we encounter this group of natives today, will it become a hidden danger for us to travel between the two ports in the future?"

Needless to say, everyone can think of the fact that from their analysis to their own personal opinions, they all have positive opinions on whether this group of indigenous people will pose a threat to the development of the team.

"But ......"

"But what is it, we just took advantage of the defeat of this group of natives, followed their footsteps to find their lair, and gave them a net to catch them all. Anyway, we have already lost a lot of time now, and it is not bad for the next few days! In the end, it was Lu Lu who came to a conclusion, and changed everyone's goal from converging with the Bengang team to following the rout of the natives and pursuing them to their lair.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but when it came, Dong Haoran and their participation in the airport helped Lu Yu and them to reformulate a plan, which could be regarded as making up for their contradictory feelings of taking care of one thing and losing the other.

In fact, the plan is very simple, it is nothing more than to send a smaller team from their team, bring all the dry food, and follow the previously planned route to join the team in the direction of Bengang.

The team that went to the convergence did not need to open up the road while taking care of the logistics team in the rear, and the distance delayed a few days ago would naturally be chased back by them soon, and the convergence of them with the Bengang team could also report the situation on their side to Wu Shu and them in Bengang, so as not to worry them.

Without further ado, early the next morning, the Jilong Harbor team was divided into two teams, one team with no more than 100 people headed west along the mountain peak, and the remaining 1,200 people, after the logistics office rereplenished the materials and ammunition, first escorted the logistics team back for a distance, and then turned to follow the traces revealed by the aboriginal team yesterday when they fled to the southwest of the mountain range.

After a night of recovery, the traces of the natives when they left yesterday were faint, but in the eyes of the specially trained soldiers of the special operations battalion with extensive experience in jungle warfare, these faint traces were enough to help them track the enemy's tracks.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that maybe because they beat their opponents too badly yesterday, they have been tracking along these messy footprints for more than ten miles, and Lu Yu and they have not been able to find the whereabouts of the main force of the aborigines evacuating.

Most of the traces along the entire route are all kinds of tracks left by no more than a dozen people, except for the general direction to prove that their team chased without mistakes, but there is no way to prove that they are chasing the enemy's main force.

But it doesn't matter, the indigenous people live in a difficult environment, as long as they are not exterminated or driven out of the ethnic group, the average indigenous people will not easily leave their own ethnic group and join another ethnic group. Therefore, even if the traces of their pursuit only belong to an aborigine, sooner or later this natives will bring them into their tribe's cottage.

In this way, they went on for three or four days, during which time they did not find a single native, except for the traces that had long been faint and could only be seen by the scouts, and there was no other evidence that they were fighting behind a group of natives.

Just when everyone began to waver, suddenly, between the mountains and forests in front of them, there was a faint scene of smoke, which suddenly gave the Hongtang team members who had already appeared discouraged, and they all lifted their spirits and touched towards the place where the smoke rose.
