Duan Weijun, who received Ning Fan's order, hung up the phone.

Sitting in the car, he looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, his brows slightly furrowed.

The moment Ning Fan told him to slow down the march and remain alert throughout the process, Duan Weijun's heart skipped a beat.

He thought Ning Fan had discovered something wrong.

But soon, Ning Fan told him that he just wanted to remind him to be cautious.

If someone else said this, Duan Weijun might not take it too seriously.

Even without Ning Fan's reminder, Duan Weijun felt that he had been very careful.

After crossing Scimitar Ridge, he did not rush to the planned location, but used the open area to prepare on the spot.

Forced march is a tactic used when catching the opponent by surprise.

Now both sides are almost ready to clash fists.

The opponents were originally well-rested. If they were too tired from rushing, the gap between the two sides would become wider.

Also, even though Duan Weijun knew very well that Ning Fan and the people from those families were leading the way ahead, he still did not forget the most basic combat skills.

After preparing the troops, Duan Weijun sent out a large number of scout teams from all angles.

After confirming that there were no ambushes around and no local forces had been dispatched, Duan Weijun began to command the troops to advance.

During this process, every time Duan Weijun passed through the sphere of influence of a city, he would slow down a little and raise the alert level to the maximum.

At the same time, he will also leave a group of people to monitor these cities during this process.

Duan Weijun has fought for so many years and has learned a lot of lessons.

No matter how strong a team is, there will be a time when it will be defeated.

No matter how stable the situation is, it can be reversed.

Therefore, all Duan Weijun can do is to avoid making any mistakes in his own link.

"Commander, Grand Commander... aren't you being a little too cautious?"

In the front row, Duan Weijun's adjutant, a cigarette in his mouth, said nonchalantly, "We've been careful enough along the way."

Anyone who dares to smoke in the front row and speak to Duan Weijun like this must be a general who has followed him since a long time ago.

Lao Cui.

At this time, Lao Cui was already over fifty years old. Duan Weijun originally wanted him to stay in Jinfeng City and enjoy a peaceful life.

But Lao Cui said that he couldn't sit still.

In particular, if he doesn't experience fighting with the people of Shangcheng, he will definitely regret it in his life.

Duan Weijun also understood Lao Cui's character, so he simply kept him by his side.

In private, the relationship between Lao Cui and Duan Weijun as superiors and subordinates is not so clear.

So when I talk, I just say whatever comes to my mind.

"These people from the upper city don't have the guts to fight us."

Lao Cui laughed and said, "What was the name of that city we just passed? I forgot! Didn't they send out a symbolic group of troops? As soon as they showed up, we beat them back!"

To be honest, there are quite a few people in this team who share the same idea as Lao Cui.

They did open fire this morning.

The other party is like a turtle that is afraid of death.

As soon as the firepower reached over, the other party crawled back home.

This scene also caused a burst of laughter in the team, and they even started firing blank shots into the sky to express their mockery of the people in the upper city.

Duan Weijun told them before they set off that the journey ahead would be different from the previous one.

Because all the cities are under the jurisdiction of Diancheng, the opponent's resistance may be fierce.

This also caused the nerves of the team from top to bottom to be tense.

But what?

The other side still doesn't dare to fight even a battle.

So the tense nerves gradually showed signs of relaxing.

Now, even an old general like Lao Cui who had fought for decades felt that there would be no decent resistance in Shangcheng.

This is a dangerous signal.

Duan Weijun realized the significance of Ning Fan calling him.

"Give me the map."

Duan Weijun said in a deep voice.

Lao Cui was stunned.

He has followed Duan Weijun for so long, so he is naturally quite familiar with this old guy.

Duan Weijun's current attitude definitely doesn't seem like a joke, and...

He is not allowed to joke around.

Lao Cui did not hesitate and immediately handed a simple map to Duan Weijun.

Duan Weijun looked at the route above.

It takes about five days to reach the originally set location.

Well, even if they slow down their march, it won’t take more than seven days.

This is on the premise that there are no obstacles.

But once you encounter trouble, this time is difficult to calculate.

Their purpose was to support Xu Jiang.

Therefore, Duan Weijun has already set aside time for a fierce battle.

In other words, even if their steps were delayed, they would still be able to arrive before Xu Jiang reached the planned location.

Duan Weijun's brows were twisted into knots.

He seemed to have noticed something wrong.

Leaving enough time for error means another thing.

They need to extend the distance.

What is known is that Xu Jiang will definitely head straight towards Diancheng.

For example, if they had marched at a normal speed, they would only need to meet up with Xu Jiang at a location 800 to 1,000 kilometers after he set out.

However, in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes in time, they would set the planned location 1,500 kilometers after Xu Jiang's departure.
