"Captain General, the brothers at the front reported back that they found no signs of an ambush at Scimitar Ridge."

Ning Fan was sitting in the car when he answered the call from Duan Weijun.

This time they were going to support Xu Jiang, and there was a place they had to pass through, which was what Duan Weijun had paid the most attention to before.

Scimitar Ridge.

The reason why Luoyue City can remain neutral is largely due to its geographical advantages.

Three hundred kilometers away from Luoyue City is a continuous mountain range.

All the cities on the other side of the mountains are the most loyal supporters of Diancheng.

If you want to pass through this mountain range, you either have to go around it from the other end.

The time cost may be more than ten times that of normal passing.

Alternatively, you can reach it by crossing the mountains.

However, this method cannot use any means of transportation, which will greatly increase the physical energy consumption of the soldiers.

What's more, the mountains are extremely steep, and large-scale marches will result in considerable casualties in the process of crossing the mountains.

Other than that, there was only one way to cross the mountain.

That is passing through Scimitar Ridge.

There is a naturally formed crack in the mountains.

After entering this gap, there are complicated forks in the road.

If you look down from above, you will find that this area looks like dozens of scimitars stuck in the mountains.

This is where the name Scimitar Ridge comes from.

Since Ning Fan was going to support Xu Jiang this time, he naturally couldn't consider the first two methods.

They could only reach the other side via Scimitar Ridge.

When Duan Weijun was studying the terrain, he also marked this place as a key point.

In his words, as long as the other party knew we were going this way, they would not miss such a good ambush opportunity.

Unless the other party's decision maker is a complete fool.

If there was even one normal person in the three generations of ancestors, it wouldn't be possible.

First of all, Scimitar Ridge is like a maze. For people who don’t know this place, it will take some effort to get out of it.

Secondly, the road here is not very wide, probably only wide enough for seven or eight cars to run side by side.

It sounds like this road is not narrow.

However, when hundreds of thousands of troops are advancing, this width will appear congested.

Then under such conditions, Ning Fan's advantage in numbers will be greatly weakened.

In fact, too many people will make things seem slow and chaotic.

At this time, when Duan Weijun reported that he had not found the ambush...

Neither Ning Fan nor Duan Weijun believed the intelligence from the front.

It’s not that my own people are lying.

"This place is different from Downtown. Sometimes, we can't just rely on our previous experience to make judgments."

Ning Fan said calmly, "Just a reminder, brothers."

"clear."

Duan Weijun himself certainly knew that there must be an ambush on Wandao Ridge, but he was afraid that his brothers who went to explore the way would think things were too simple.

"If we still don't find anything after further exploration, we'll stop and rest."

Ning Fan offered his thoughts: "As you said before, the other party won't let go of such an opportunity."

"We went on this expedition without hiding any traces. It can be considered a high-profile expedition."

"Not to mention that they definitely have spies in Luoyue City, even if they don't, this news will definitely spread through the wind."

"So the people on the other side of the mountain must know we're coming."

"And the fact that our people didn't find it means two things."

"First, they are very good at hiding. They must be a type of opponent we have never encountered before."

"We still mostly rely on weapons here. Even though people in Upper City don't like to use weapons, it doesn't mean they don't understand."

"But we really know very little about the troops in the upper city, so we are the ones who need to adapt."

"Secondly, our people didn't notice them, which means they must have noticed our people."

"They didn't touch these people, but instead released them back to inform us, which shows that they have a bigger plan."

"perhaps……"

"They want to eat us all!"

"With a lineup like ours, if the other team still has such intentions, it only proves one thing."

"The other party's investment is not small!"

"This battle might be very tough!"

Ning Fan's words made Duan Weijun realize the seriousness of the situation even more than before.

Although he could also think of some problems, he was definitely not as intuitive as Ning Fan.

"good!"

Duan Weijun hesitated for a moment: "But we don't have much time to waste here, and Master Xu..."

This was a kind reminder to Ning Fan that if he planned to stall for time with the other party, Xu Jiang couldn't wait.

We can't afford to waste time with the other side.

"It's okay."

Ning Fan smiled and said, "Let's go explore it first. I'll find a way when the time comes."

"Okay!"

Duan Weijun hung up the phone steadily.

Ning Fan sat in the car, looking at the mountains ahead. After thinking for a moment, he made another call.

"Master Song, after the convoy stops, please notify the heads of the other families to come over to me. I want to tell you something."

…

"Then I'll be sorry to trouble you all to bring your own people and help us check the situation ahead."

In front of Wandao Ridge, Ning Fan stood in front of the car.

At this time, the faces of the people in front of him did not look very good.

Originally, it was Song Changming who took the initiative to propose to be the pioneer.

In the eyes of others, Song Changming would do anything to please Ning Fan.
