Chapter 1228: Position Defense
Lightning Mercenary Corps and Flame Mercenary Corps first reported to the general, finding an excuse that they had lost contact with the main force due to unfamiliarity with the environment and excessively fierce combat, while also concealing the identity of the Hunter’s Guild and Gu Fan’s group.
The general did not seem suspicious and allowed both the Lightning and Flame mercenary corps to rest properly because the sound of crossfire outside was fiercer than ever before, indicating that it would be difficult for the night to be calm.
Gu Fan walked around the camp, saw that the perimeter positions were always well-guarded and manned with shooters, and immediately abandoned the idea of leaving directly; leaving would certainly attract attention, which contradicted the need to stay inconspicuous.
Some people pointed at Gu Fan’s group, feeling that they did not resemble mercenaries at all and even speculated that Gu Fan was just a rookie.
Gu Fan didn’t care what these people said; he only wanted to keep a low profile and then think about what to do next.
For now, everyone was being watched by the United Army. To escape, they could only wait for a major battle to occur, which was inevitable, as the United Army was a clear target.
Gu Fan imagined himself as a vampire creature and would definitely launch an attack at night, but a normal attack wouldn’t suffice, it had to be a huge one. The bigger the chaos, the better, and they would take advantage of the confusion to escape. But the problem was, with vampire creatures everywhere, was it really good to break away from the main force?
After thinking it through, Gu Fan still decided to call together Irina and the two from the Hunter’s Guild, so everyone could sit down together and discuss a plan to escape at night.
Irina’s opinion was to avoid separating as much as possible and not break out individually; they must stick together, relying on numbers and unity to survive in this perilous place.
