Chapter 1244: Only Moving Forward, No Way Back
General Horton forcibly calmed himself down. Having experienced many battles, he had developed courage beyond that of an ordinary person and knew very well how terrifying it could be to lose his composure and throw his ranks into disarray.
General Horton didn’t say anything; instead, he lit a cigarette, appearing as if it were no big deal.
Seeing that General Horton was not anxious and remained composed, everyone felt as if they had been injected with a strong dose of hope, which significantly reduced their inner fear.
Gu Fan saw this and couldn’t help but admire General Horton; as a commander, he was the spiritual pillar for everyone. If he didn’t falter, the team wouldn’t be in disarray, and where there was order, there was a chance.
When General Horton saw everyone’s anxious expressions, pinning their hopes on him, he simply said, "I know it’s difficult now, the situation is dangerous, but there is only one way for more of us to survive, and that is to march forward as if placing ourselves in a situation of life and death."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. Even a regular large force had been annihilated. Was it still possible to continue forward?
Facing scepticism, General Horton was about to explain when Gu Fan stood up and said, "It’s quite simple now. The regular large forces, ten thousand in number, couldn’t all have been annihilated. They must be desperately fleeing and scattering. And the monsters chasing them will also be spreading out to pursue. It’s like casting a net. If we retreat too, we will definitely be caught in this net and it will be difficult for us to escape."
Everyone suddenly realized. The vampire creatures were focusing on chasing the regular forces that were fleeing. It would be easier to overlook a mercenary force that continued to march forward, offering a slight chance at life.
"Worthy of being General Horton, this is the best plan that could be thought of right now." While everyone was appreciating General Horton’s thorough consideration, General Horton was paying attention to Gu Fan, surprised to find that Gu Fan’s judgment matched his own despite his young age.
