nMike looked at Dali with a smile and said, “Take it! With the torch, I believe it will be much safer!”

nDali looked at him and immediately asked, “Mike! How did you do it?”

nMike smiled and said, “If you’re fast and strong enough, you can do it too!”

nDali still wanted to say something.

nJust then, Linda said, “Let’s not worry about such things now. The most important thing is for us to leave the Kaki Snow Mountain.

n“Let’s wait until we get down from the mountain!”

nAfter saying that, Linda took the torch from Mike’s hand and broke off a branch.

nShe then lit a new torch.

nThe large group of people behind Mike then used this torch relay method to slowly light up the entire Kaki Snow Mountain.

n

n

nWith the light, the people along the way seemed to think that their chances of survival were now a little higher.

nThe spark slowly moved down the Kaki Snow Mountain.

nDuring their journey down the mountain, Mike found that no one else had fallen down the mountain due to any misstep.

nThe fire in their hands had brought not only light, but also hope to them.

nThe speed of the troops had also seemed to have increased greatly.

nFinally, before sunrise, the crowd left the cold Kaki Snow Mountain.

nThey stood facing the town of Doma.

nA swift-flowing river separated the people from the town of Doma.

nThere was no bridge here. If they tried to cross it, they might be washed away by the river.

nIt would all be up to one’s luck to determine their life or death.

nBy then, everyone was now standing in front of the river.

nDawn gradually rose.

nDali looked at the soldiers of the Lieluo Army and said, “Start a headcount!”

n“Yes, sir!”

nFollowing that, the twenty soldiers of the Lieluo Army started a new round of counting.

nAfter a while, one of the soldiers of the Lieluo Army finally returned to Dali and said, “Reporting to the Regiment Commander, there are still 844 people left!”

n“Alright! I got it!” Dali said firmly.

nAfter Mike had heard this number, he had never expected that their entire day’s journey would have cost them five hundred lives.

nThose people were now buried on the Kaki Snow Mountain forever.

nInterrupting Mike’s thoughts, Dali continued.

n“Soldiers of Lie Luo! Listen to my orders!”

n“Yes!”

n“Go and cut down the huge trees around here! The more the better! The faster the better!”

n“Yes, sir!”

nThe moment Dali gave the order, all twenty soldiers of the Lieluo Army quickly began to cut down the trees.

nThe river was very fast, and very wide.

nEven if they cut down the trees on both sides of the river, the length would still not be enough.

nMike looked at the scene in front of him and sucked in a breath of cold air.

nThen, he walked to Dali’s side and asked. “The length of these trees won’t be enough to cross such a wide river! Why do we still need to cut wood?

n“Why don’t we go to another place, either upstream or downstream, and maybe we will be able to find some roads!”

nBefore Mike had finished his sentence, Dali said, “It’s useless. Do you think I haven’t thought of such a method before?”

n“What do you mean?” Mike continued to ask.

n“The upstream of this river is connected to the northern front of The Empire. As for the downstream area of this river, it’s directly connected to the sea. Our current position is already the narrowest part!”

nUpon hearing this, Mike was shocked.

nCrossing this river would not be difficult for him and Linda.

nHowever, there were over eight hundred ordinary people standing behind them.

nWith Mike’s speed, he would need a few days to move them one by one.

nDuring this time, the soldiers of The Empire would probably discover their tracks and find this place.

nTheir current combat strength was completely insufficient in fighting the pursuers.

nAlthough Mike and Linda were powerful, they were unable to save and protect everyone.

n“What do you plan to do?” Mike asked Dali.

nDali did not answer, but seemed to be figuring something out.

nHe was staring blankly at the rapidly flowing river.

nJust then, a few of the Lieluo Army soldiers carried the trees that they had just cut down and stood in front of Dali.

nDali saw this and immediately said, “Throw these trees into the river vertically!”

n“Yes, sir!”

nAlthough the soldiers of the Lieluo Army answered firmly, they were still very confused.

nThey did not know why Dali had asked them to do this.

nEven so, they still obediently followed his orders.

nThe thick and strong trees were thrown into the river vertically.

nThe rapidly flowing river water slowly covered more than half of the tree trunks, but the trees were not washed away.

nInstead, they were stuck in the river.

nMike looked at the scene in front of him and asked Dali, “How did you manage to envision it?”

nDali looked at Mike and said with a relaxed smile.

n“If I didn’t have the confidence and experience, why would I take you on such a desperate path?”

nAs it turned out, although the river was very fast, there was a large area of soft sand at the bottom of the river.

nWhen the trees were inserted vertically into the river, they were able to reach the sandy bottom of the river.

nThat would create a downward pressure.

nAlthough the river flow was fast, the direction of the flow was like an encirclement.

nIt allowed the trees to be inserted firmly into the sand.

nThe people who witnessed this were very excited.

nSpontaneously, everyone rushed to cut down the trees around them.

nThey hoped to reach the other side as soon as possible.

nMore and more trees were inserted into the river.

nThe gap between them and the other side had been reduced to half.

nThe people had sped up their movements, whether in the speed of cutting down, moving, and inserting into the river.

nFinally, the last tree was inserted into the river less than a few centimeters away from the other side.

nThe people who had moved the last tree were also the first to reach the other side.

nEveryone began to cheer and celebrate.

nDali stayed on the other side of the river and directed the remaining people to step on the trees so that they could leave the place and go to the other side.

n

n

nEverything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

nBy then, a large number of the people had already crossed over.

nA loud voice roared out.

n“Dali! You old thing! How dare you betray us!”

nMike looked in the direction of the voice. The person it belonged to was riding a large horse.

nA fierce face appeared in front of him.

nIt looked like this person was a pursuer sent by The Empire.

nWhen Mike sensed the powerful strength in this person, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

n“This guy doesn’t look easy to deal with!” Said Mike, as his palms started to sweat.

n“Prepare to die, you d*mned guys!”
