He Chenguang said in a deep voice.

“If you still think like this now, you’re treating them as outsiders. I don’t think they’ll be happy for you to treat them like this.”

When Qin Yuan heard this, he could not help but lower his head and start to ponder.

What He Chenguang said was not without reason.

He always felt that he needed someone to take on everything, but little did he know that protecting the other party too well was also a form of disrespect to others.

Then, he smiled.

“You’re right. I shouldn’t be making decisions for them. Whether they want to fight alongside me or not should be decided by them.”

“I shouldn’t have decided their lives and destinies.”

He Chenguang also smiled.

“Smart.”

” Now that we’re all in the same boat, there’s no need to differentiate who’s protecting who. We’re teammates on the same front.”

He Chenguang said sternly.

“Yes!”

Qin Yuan hugged him and then turned around to return to the camp.

He came to the old man and Vivian’s tent.

” Old sir, how have you been these past two days? The weather is hot, so take care of your health.”

Qin Yuan said as he walked over and sat down.

“Oh, you’re back. That was fast.”

The old man laughed.

“Yes, working with your disciple will definitely be very efficient.”

Qin Yuan smiled.

“We were attacked by them just now. Are you guys okay?”

“It’s fine. Captain He Chenguang is here. I heard that they’re just some remnants.”

” No, I suspect that this is a premeditated operation.”

Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.

“Is that so? As expected, you think so too.”

Vivian said.

“It’s obvious that they’ve already grasped our movements.”

He Chenguang said.

“It’s very possible.”

The old man said in a deep voice.

“We have no room to retreat.”

Qin Yuan voiced his thoughts.

He knew that it was unrealistic to rely on himself now that everyone was in the army.

Unexpectedly, the old man’s expression was also very calm, even with a hint of gratification.

“Are you mentally prepared?”

Qin Yuan did not expect this. Even Weiwei, who was at the side, did not have a surprised expression.

“We knew that this day would come.”

“It’s impossible for both of us to have any leeway. The current situation can only be a life-and-death struggle.”

The old man was more sensible than he thought.

“Since you’re so insightful, I have nothing more to say.”

Qin Yuan smiled.

“After all, we came here together. Since I can stand here, I definitely trust you unconditionally.”

the old man said.

” Then we are now close comrades.”

“It’s just that…”

Before Qin Yuan could finish, the old man raised his hand and interrupted.

“You don’t have to worry about my health. Although I’m old, I won’t hold you back. As he said that, the old man grabbed the pistol in his hand.”

“It’s just that I asked you to take good care of Weiwei before. I hope you can keep your word.”

the old man said seriously.

Qin Yuan could see a trace of determination and killing intent from his eyes.

This made his heart tremble.

The old man must have been a fierce general when he was young!

Qin Yuan looked at Wei Wei, who was beside him. She also had a confident expression on her face, and she had no intention of allowing him to reject her.

Qin Yuan could not help but smile.

” I really admire the two of you. Just your temperament alone is not something that ordinary people can compare to!”

He Chenguang chuckled.

“Oh right, where’s Green Snake?”

The old man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.

” He’s outside, playing with his big white wolf.”

Qin Yuan said.

The reason why Qin Yuan did not plan to let Green Snake in was because he was afraid that his impulsive personality would have an adverse impact on the overall situation at such a critical moment.

However, since the old man had already reached an agreement with him, there was nothing to be afraid of.

“Should I call him in?”

“Yes.”

Qin Yuan gave He Chenguang a look, asking him to call the green snake in.

He Chenguang got up and walked out. Ten seconds later, he came back with the green snake.

“Oh! Teacher! Long time no see!”

Green Snake greeted the old man as soon as he entered.

“Yeah, you’re still the same. You’re full of energy.”

The old man laughed.

“Hehe, how else could I be your disciple?”

“I protected Wei Wei well before. I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”

The green snake looked as if it was asking for credit.

” Her leg is injured. What are you talking about?”

The old man joked with great interest.

When Green Snake heard this, an awkward expression immediately appeared on his face.

“Hehe, you’re right! But I did my best! I’m also quite injured!”

The green snake looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

“Alright, the old man is just joking with you. He’s very satisfied with your behavior.”

Qin Yuan helped.

“Hehe, I knew it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have looked so relaxed when you came to look for me just now.”

Green Snake laughed.

“Let’s change the topic. Let’s discuss how to distribute the members of the team.”

Qin Yuan said.

“How much combat power do we have left?”

Qin Yuan asked He Chenguang.

“About two hundred people.”

He Chenguang replied.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly.

” This time, we’ll act together. We can’t split up.”

” I agree. Our combat power is not strong to begin with. If we don’t concentrate, it will be too easy for the other party to defeat us one by one.”

Green Snake echoed.

” Yes, I agree. We tried to split up before, but the results weren’t obvious. After all, there were too many people on the other side. We couldn’t hit the nail on the head.”

“Now that our combat strength has been reduced to less than half of what it was before, we can’t split our combat strength anymore.”

“Moreover, the other party has also lost the support of food. They are only paper tigers.”

He Chenguang said confidently.

“That’s right! Their army was so huge! Now that we’ve run out of food, I’m afraid we can’t even guarantee basic food!”

“I don’t think we need to do anything! A group of them are going to starve to death!”

Vivian agreed.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. We still have some ways to implement it.”

The shrewd old man said in a deep voice.

The few of them immediately looked at him.

The old man slowly said,”

“First of all, according to the strategy of attrition, although we have the upper hand, this is after all a way to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and ourselves by 800. We are also starving, so this is not an effective way to deal with them.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

Green Snake hurriedly asked.

The old man smiled.

“There’s a saying that goes,’Use softness to overcome hardness.’”

“I know that all of you are eager to kill the enemy and want to end this battle as soon as possible so that you can go home and rest.”

“But have you ever thought that the other party thinks the same way? Their mentality is definitely not any better than ours.”

” We just need to capture their impatience and make them pay the price for their impulsiveness.”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Yuan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

” We’ll pretend that we’re no match for them and show that we’re weak. We’ll retreat to the rear. They’ll definitely chase after us with all their might. At that time, it’ll be the moment when we finally counterattack and win.”

The old man chuckled.

“As expected, the older the wiser! You’re still the one who can keep your cool!”

Green Snake was overjoyed.

“As the saying goes, impulse is the devil. We can only win the final victory if we stay calm!”

He Chenguang agreed.

“Captain Qin Yuan, what do you think?”

He Chenguang looked at Qin Yuan.

However, Qin Yuan’s face was not as happy as theirs.

Ran Ran had an indifferent look on his face.

” I think this plan is feasible, but it doesn’t suit my style.”

Qin Yuan said in a low voice.

Hearing this, the few people at the side widened their eyes and looked at Qin Yuan in disbelief.

What was wrong with this kid?

He didn’t even approve of the old man’s perfect plan?
