Chapter 404 Between the Mountains
"Company commander, no."

"The mountain road here is too winding and steep!"

After splitting the weeds in front of him that blocked his vision, a wheat seed fell out. The soldier picked it up and said with a bad face.

"There may also be caves connected to the ground along the way, and monsters may emerge from the caves."

"Yeah, such a mountainous terrain is really tormenting."

Standing at the front of the team, Li Yunhua just sighed when he looked at the scattered crowd behind or in a team of three or in a team of six.

He also knew that the distance was too far, but there was nothing he could do... It was impossible to fly over, right?

"Okay, soldiers. Hurry up, the trapped compatriots are still waiting for us to rescue them!"

"Yes!"

Although the road was a bit steep, fortunately, this operation was as described in the plan, and they did not encounter any skeleton army, nor did they encounter too many wild monsters.

The two-day trek through mountains and rivers gave the soldiers a clearer understanding of the treacherous terrain of the mountains.

"This is the most suitable place to build a war fortress, but to build a city that can provide for survival... forget it."

The action team carefully bypassed a skeleton base again, and approached the interior of the mountains whose slopes were gradually slowing down.

"Old Wang, the terrain here is more dangerous than we imagined. It is already so difficult for our soldiers to walk in from the outside. If we have to carry those compatriots to evacuate, it will be even more difficult."

"It's not practical to continue with the way we're going forward...."

Located in the middle of the field army, a commander who had observed the surroundings for a long time approached the Supreme Commander Wang Jianguo to give his opinion.

"It's been so long since we've been in the mountains, we haven't encountered the skeleton army, and the buildings of the skeleton forces we've come into contact with are basically empty."

"Although we don't know why the intelligent skeleton wants to help us, it seems that it should have common interests with us and is temporarily reliable. Maybe we..."

The commander gave a hint with his eyes.

"We have to look at the situation again."

Wang Jianguo did not immediately give an affirmative answer, but chose to see the situation and adapt to the situation.

"Crack! Kick! Kick!"

And at the forefront of the team, after two days of calm.

The field army finally encountered the first skeleton army after entering the group.

"hidden!"

The battalion commander of the first battalion of the field army immediately issued an order.

The narrow road, where there was still a slight sound, immediately became quiet, and all the people who could still be seen indistinctly disappeared.

"Crack! Kick! Kick!"

The sound of bones colliding echoed in the mountains and forests, and the scout who drank the night vision potion quietly raised his head to observe.

"one two three four……"

"This is a junior skeleton army, the number of skeletons is the standard 120."

"It poses no threat to our army!"

Knowing the accurate information about the skeleton army on the mountain not far away, the battalion commander did not give an order to attack, but remained on hold.

"Crack! Kick! Kick!"

They hid extremely well, and the skeleton group seemed to have a clear goal. They just hurried across the mountains around the team and didn't care about the situation on the narrow road below the mountain.

"Their direction is to go south. Could it be that the target is the southern border line where we are?"

The sound of bones colliding gradually faded away and finally disappeared.

A soldier asked in an extremely small voice.

"The danger is eliminated, move on!"

At this time, the battalion commander also conveyed the order to inform the soldiers to continue to move towards the target direction.

He only paid a little attention to the skeleton army running in the opposite direction behind him.

But before the team of the field army adjusted their state and moved towards the target direction, another burst of bones colliding sounded slightly from a distance.

"hidden!"

Night is the disadvantage of Cube people. Except for a few scouts who take night vision potions, few people can see the situation in the distance clearly.

As a last resort, the battalion commander had to issue another covert order.

"Crack! Crack! Pull!"

The sound of the bones colliding gradually approached, and the soldiers could barely see the skeleton army clearly after reaching an extremely close distance.

"Report, it's still an ordinary junior skeleton army!"

The direction of this junior skeleton army is also towards the south, which is the same direction as the previous junior skeleton army.

This skeleton army obviously also had a clear goal. They didn't care about the situation below the mountain, but continued to run south.

The sound of the bones colliding gradually faded away again, but the battalion commander did not immediately inform the soldiers to exit the concealed state immediately.

"Crack! Kick! Kick!"

Sure enough, not long after, there was another sound of bones colliding in the distance.

"Another junior skeleton army!"

This is already the third time, and the soldiers are fully sure that there is another skeleton army behind this skeleton army.

"What's going on here? These skeleton legions are all heading south."

"I don't know, but it is definitely aimed at our Cube Kingdom."

"Then what should we do now, should we report back?"

"No, it's too late for us to go there now, so we'll leave it to the compatriots who were stationed on the southern border mountain to deal with it. Now we continue to wait for the opportunity!"

"Crack! Kick! Kick!"

As a result, this wait was one night.

During the night, the field army lurked in a hidden corner and watched batch after batch of skeleton legions marching south.

According to the calculations of the scouts, there are a total of seventeen junior skeleton legions moving south.

Just looking at this number, it feels like they are going to fight.

"The current situation is very favorable to us. Almost all the skeleton legions in this area have moved southward, which means that although we are now within the skeleton force, there is no skeleton legion!"

Wang Jianguo was keenly aware of this, and immediately ordered the soldiers to move forward in assault formation.

According to the re-planned route, the soldiers of the field army will directly cross five absolutely safe mountains, and then move forward along the valleys between the mountains and take a shortcut to complete the trip that should have taken three days. .

At the same time, a very important event happened in the Cube Kingdom.

The first cubeman who died of natural old age appeared.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.

Because dying of old age naturally is an absolute luxury for Cube people.

According to the known history books of Cubemen, there are very few Cubemen who died of natural old age, and most of them are the top executives of a Cubeman force.

The first person in Cube Kingdom to die of natural old age is not from the powerful class, but an ordinary citizen.
