Zhou Chu's voice was very low, and his tone made people feel very sad.

"Captain Zhou."

Di Daozhang said after a while.

"It's not that I disrespect you."

"It's just that you don't know the iron rules in the organization. I won't say anything more. You also know the consequences of running away from the battlefield."

Di Daozhang said in a deep voice.

"Have you not considered the feelings of your men? As a commander, you actually escaped from the battlefield when the soldiers were suffering. Let alone us, can you forgive yourself for being so cowardly?"

"do not talk..."

Zhou Chu shook his head and said in pain.

"The matter has come to this, and there is no use saying more. I can only fulfill my duties as an executive officer."

Di Daozhang's deep voice reached the other party's ears.

Then, only a dull sound was heard.

Di Daozhang walked up to Zhou Chu in one step, and the other man slowly fell on Di Daozhang, with wisps of red liquid flowing out of his lower body.

——Di Daozhang personally ended this deserter who ran away from the battle.

When the soldiers nearby saw this, no one uttered a word or sympathized with Zhou Chu.

Because escaping in battle is a big taboo for Xiao Yan, Zhou Chu got the ending he deserved.

"Throw the body away and let's continue searching the battlefield over there."

Di Daozhang pulled out his dagger from Zhou Chu's body, wiped it with a rag, put it back into his body and said.

Several men immediately threw the person into a ravine aside, and no one paid attention to him again.

"Set off."

With that said, Di Daozhang set off in person and began to walk forward.

Just like this, the large army forgot about what happened to Zhou Chu just now, and continued to walk towards the woods ahead where there had been a fierce battle.

We walked about a few hundred meters more.

Everyone heard some subtle noises coming from nearby.

This is not the ordinary sound of wind blowing leaves or animals running.

Instead, there was a very frequent rustling sound.

It seemed to be coming from directly in front of the woods.

The woods directly ahead are the only way to reach the battlefield ahead.

"Captain, there seems to be something wrong with this forest!"

The scouts from the front came back to report to Di Daozhang.

Di Daozhang frowned.

He heard these noises too.

He also knows that these factors may have a considerable impact on his team.

However, they have no choice. To reach their destination, they must pass through this forest.

Therefore, the area of ​​​​this forest is not small, and the edges cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Whether to advance or retreat is a key decision that determines Xiaoyan's current advantage in the war.

According to the noise they heard, there was obviously fraud here, but if they gave up moving forward, all their previous actions would be wasted and in vain.

This is indeed a dilemma.

"What should I do? Captain Di?"

The soldier on the side asked.

Di Daozhang didn't think about it for long and immediately decided to continue moving forward.

"Reorganize your armaments and march to the woods."

"yes!"

The soldiers below received the order and without any hesitation, they immediately set off and headed towards the woods ahead.

There was no hesitation or doubt, they just obeyed the captain's instructions and arrangements unconditionally.

With iron-clad discipline, this sixth detachment is obviously the most elite unit in Xiaoyan.

Following the sound of muddy footsteps on the soft soil.

The soldiers of the Sixth Division entered this dense and wide forest.

"This is actually a swamp!"

Not long after walking, a scream came from the soldiers in front.

"Be careful, grab the climbing objects nearby and don't get stuck!"

The soldiers nearby began to warn.

This is a swamp, which Di Daozhang did not expect.

They were not fully prepared in advance.

Although they temporarily grabbed nearby vines and branches, there were so many people and the swamp was so vast that there were already quite a few people there, and almost their entire bodies were stuck in the mud, unable to move.

"Maintain order and don't panic! Those who are not trapped should climb up the tree and walk along the tree!"

Di Daozhang himself almost fell into the swamp. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the thick tree trunk on the side and climbed up.

In just a moment, dozens of people from the originally more than 500-strong team were trapped in the swamp, complaining incessantly.

Although this swamp does not reach the level of bottomless horror, the mud in it is enough to cover an adult's face, and there is no problem in trapping them for a period of time.

"How many people have been tricked?!"

Di Daozhang asked the adjutant next to him.

"Report to the captain! After our general inspection, more than thirty brothers were trapped and unable to get out!"

the adjutant replied loudly.

"Is everyone else in the trees now?"

"Yes! Except for those people, the other soldiers have climbed up the trees here!"

Di Daozhang glanced at the ground. This muddy swamp could not be seen to the edge at a glance. It was obviously impossible to walk through this distance.

"People in the trees, look for strips, branches or trunks, and try to pull up the brothers below!"

Di Daozhang ordered again.

Although these people were trapped, they were not injured, and it was impossible for his team to abandon his brothers without reason. Di Daozhang decided to take the time to rescue the people first.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream, and then a soldier fell from the tree, fell straight to the swamp on the ground, and quickly submerged into it, and there was no movement after a while!

"what's the situation?!"

Several soldiers nearby exclaimed.

"There's something in the tree!"

The man next to the fallen soldier shouted.
Chapter completed!
