Chapter 167
"So… we escape."
Cheng Dalei's hopelessly raised hand drops down, like someone drowning trying to grasp at the last straw, only to end up with nothing.
But then he raises his hand and says, "If we are to flee, we must do it under my arrangement! If our five thousand brothers scatter like birds and beasts, they will only become ghosts under others' knives, and not many will survive. If I lead everyone, all five thousand brothers will go together, we will not leave any old behind, nor abandon any children."
"We shall heed to our leader's command!"
Nobody opposes Cheng Dalei's words. With the Rong Clan army at the border, everyone is as lost as a ship without anchor. At this juncture, everyone is willing to follow Cheng Dalei's lead.
"Lin Shaoyu, I command you!"
"Here!"
"You alone shall climb to the Bullhorn Peak, with a month's rations, use the big tree to indicate the direction from which the Rong Clan is invading!"
