Mike looked at Dali with a smile and said, “Take it! With the torch, I believe it will be much safer!”


  Dali looked at him and immediately asked, “Mike! How did you do it?”


  Mike smiled and said, “If you’re fast and strong enough, you can do it too!”


  Dali still wanted to say something.

  Just then, Linda said, “Let’s not worry about such things now. The most important thing is for us to leave the Kaki Snow Mountain.

  “Let’s wait until we get down from the mountain!”


  After saying that, Linda took the torch from Mike’s hand and broke off a branch.

  She then lit a new torch.

  The large group of people behind Mike then used this torch relay method to slowly light up the entire Kaki Snow Mountain.

  With the light, the people along the way seemed to think that their chances of survival were now a little higher.

  The spark slowly moved down the Kaki Snow Mountain.

  During their journey down the mountain, Mike found that no one else had fallen down the mountain due to any misstep.

  The fire in their hands had brought not only light, but also hope to them.

  The speed of the troops had also seemed to have increased greatly.

  Finally, before sunrise, the crowd left the cold Kaki Snow Mountain.

  They stood facing the town of Doma.

  A swift-flowing river separated the people from the town of Doma.

  There was no bridge here. If they tried to cross it, they might be washed away by the river.

  It would all be up to one’s luck to determine their life or death.

  By then, everyone was now standing in front of the river.

  Dawn gradually rose.

  Dali looked at the soldiers of the Lieluo Army and said, “Start a headcount!”


  “Yes, sir!”


  Following that, the twenty soldiers of the Lieluo Army started a new round of counting.

  After a while, one of the soldiers of the Lieluo Army finally returned to Dali and said, “Reporting to the Regiment Commander, there are still 844 people left!”


  “Alright! I got it!” Dali said firmly.

  After Mike had heard this number, he had never expected that their entire day’s journey would have cost them five hundred lives.

  Those people were now buried on the Kaki Snow Mountain forever.

  Interrupting Mike’s thoughts, Dali continued.

  “Soldiers of Lie Luo! Listen to my orders!”


  “Yes!”


  “Go and cut down the huge trees around here! The more the better! The faster the better!”


  “Yes, sir!”


  The moment Dali gave the order, all twenty soldiers of the Lieluo Army quickly began to cut down the trees.

  The river was very fast, and very wide.

  Even if they cut down the trees on both sides of the river, the length would still not be enough.

  Mike looked at the scene in front of him and sucked in a breath of cold air.

  Then, he walked to Dali’s side and asked. “The length of these trees won’t be enough to cross such a wide river! Why do we still need to cut wood?

  “Why don’t we go to another place, either upstream or downstream, and maybe we will be able to find some roads!”


  Before Mike had finished his sentence, Dali said, “It’s useless. Do you think I haven’t thought of such a method before?”


  “What do you mean?” Mike continued to ask.

  “The upstream of this river is connected to the northern front of The Empire. As for the downstream area of this river, it’s directly connected to the sea. Our current position is already the narrowest part!”


  Upon hearing this, Mike was shocked.

  Crossing this river would not be difficult for him and Linda.

  However, there were over eight hundred ordinary people standing behind them.

  With Mike’s speed, he would need a few days to move them one by one.

  During this time, the soldiers of The Empire would probably discover their tracks and find this place.

  Their current combat strength was completely insufficient in fighting the pursuers.

  Although Mike and Linda were powerful, they were unable to save and protect everyone.

  “What do you plan to do?” Mike asked Dali.

  Dali did not answer, but seemed to be figuring something out.

  He was staring blankly at the rapidly flowing river.

  Just then, a few of the Lieluo Army soldiers carried the trees that they had just cut down and stood in front of Dali.

  Dali saw this and immediately said, “Throw these trees into the river vertically!”


  “Yes, sir!”


  Although the soldiers of the Lieluo Army answered firmly, they were still very confused.

  They did not know why Dali had asked them to do this.

  Even so, they still obediently followed his orders.

  The thick and strong trees were thrown into the river vertically.

  The rapidly flowing river water slowly covered more than half of the tree trunks, but the trees were not washed away.

  Instead, they were stuck in the river.

  Mike looked at the scene in front of him and asked Dali, “How did you manage to envision it?”


  Dali looked at Mike and said with a relaxed smile.

  “If I didn’t have the confidence and experience, why would I take you on such a desperate path?”


  As it turned out, although the river was very fast, there was a large area of soft sand at the bottom of the river.

  When the trees were inserted vertically into the river, they were able to reach the sandy bottom of the river.

  That would create a downward pressure.

  Although the river flow was fast, the direction of the flow was like an encirclement.

  It allowed the trees to be inserted firmly into the sand.

  The people who witnessed this were very excited.

  Spontaneously, everyone rushed to cut down the trees around them.

  They hoped to reach the other side as soon as possible.

  More and more trees were inserted into the river.

  The gap between them and the other side had been reduced to half.

  The people had sped up their movements, whether in the speed of cutting down, moving, and inserting into the river.

  Finally, the last tree was inserted into the river less than a few centimeters away from the other side.

  The people who had moved the last tree were also the first to reach the other side.

  Everyone began to cheer and celebrate.

  Dali stayed on the other side of the river and directed the remaining people to step on the trees so that they could leave the place and go to the other side.

  Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

  By then, a large number of the people had already crossed over.

  A loud voice roared out.

  “Dali! You old thing! How dare you betray us!”


  Mike looked in the direction of the voice. The person it belonged to was riding a large horse.

  A fierce face appeared in front of him.

  It looked like this person was a pursuer sent by The Empire.

  When Mike sensed the powerful strength in this person, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

  “This guy doesn’t look easy to deal with!” Said Mike, as his palms started to sweat.

  “Prepare to die, you d*mned guys!”
