The grand procession set off.
After the New Era, there were almost no roads in the wilderness. The area near Hope City was alright, as more people walked there and the roads were relatively smooth. But once you left Hope City, there were hardly any good roads left.
However, the vanguard army had planned its route in detail before going out, and it was currently traveling on roads that were passable by vehicles. Therefore, the vanguard army's main mode of transportation was still using convoys.
Zhang Lin was riding in a modified off-road vehicle.
His car was in the middle of the convoy, equipped with many advanced communication devices. There was also a huge display screen inside the car, connected to several drones flying in the sky. He could know the situation of the convoy from inside the car.
Besides the driver, there were two other people in the car: Lu Dazhao and Qiao Ruoxi.
Basically, everyone from Hope City is here.
Jin Sina acted as his inside man, working for Peng Yong.
"If you ask me, it's the new era now, why bother with cars? Isn't riding a horse better?" Lu Dazhao sat in the passenger seat, glancing out the window at a large chestnut horse following beside the car, and couldn't help but mutter.
Zhang Lin was right; that chestnut horse really was his, and it was an extraordinary creature that Lu Dazhao had tamed with his abilities after awakening his extraordinary template.
"The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools!" Zhang Lin glared at him. "Both of us rely on mounts to fight, but Xiao Nuan knows to ride a motorcycle, while you still ride a horse. Why can't you beat her? Don't you want to reflect on that?"
“What does she know? A real man rides a horse!” Lu Dazhao turned around and argued with Zhang Lin, unconvinced.
Zhang Lin couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
Would he dare to say that to Xia Xiaonuan?
Don't let him vomit!
"Zhang Lin, didn't Captain Jin say that Peng Yong was planning to frame you? What are you going to do?" Qiao Ruoxi asked with some concern beside him.
Before this mission, Peng Bing sent dozens more men to his son. Now Peng Yong has more than two hundred direct subordinates. Adding the lackeys gathered around him, he has more men than Zhang Lin.
Although she knew Zhang Lin was very strong, Qiao Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry, I was prepared."
Zhang Lin squeezed her small hand.
Light, soft, and smooth.
"As long as you are prepared."
Qiao Ruoxi glanced furtively at the driver and Lu Dazhao in the front row, feeling a little embarrassed. She tried to pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail, so she had to give up.
But she still glared at Zhang Lin with annoyance.
...
After driving for half a day, the convoy stopped at a high point.
This was the pre-arranged ambush location.
From here, you can see the surrounding area, and below is the only route that a tribe of extraordinary beings must take to rendezvous with the main force of extraordinary beings.
Being in this vicinity can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Zhang Lin got out of the car, held up his binoculars to observe the surrounding terrain, and pondered in his mind where the attack would be most effective.
Qiao Ruoxi and Lu Dazhao stood on either side of him, acting as his bodyguards.
Lu Dazhao, in particular, was dressed in bright armor, holding a long-handled broadsword, and sitting on a tall, chestnut-red horse, looking absolutely majestic.
Being a bodyguard would be perfect for him!
On the other side...
It was Peng Yong and his group.
The vanguard, which was just established, was divided into three camps.
Zhang Lin established his own school of thought, which goes without saying.
After all, he was the commander-in-chief and supreme commander personally appointed by the city lord.
So far, only Lu Dazhao, Qiao Ruoxi, and Li Junhao are on his side.
It looks rather shabby.
The other faction consisted of Peng Yong and others.
He was powerful and had gathered a group of people, including Jin Sina, the captain of Hope City. As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by a crowd, looking incredibly impressive.
Judging solely from their apparent strength, Peng Yong is far superior to Zhang Lin.
He now openly displayed his hostility towards Zhang Lin, refusing to communicate with Zhang Lin at all along the way. He would ignore Zhang Lin's orders whenever possible, only giving perfunctory responses when absolutely necessary.
Another group consists of neutrals.
Most of them came from small factions, with only a dozen or so subordinates. They dared not offend anyone and could only sit on the sidelines.
They will help whoever wins in the end.
In conclusion, Peng Yong is now very confident.
If I had to sum it up in one sentence, it would definitely be a quote from a famous bald man.
"No matter how you look at it, the troop strength in the battle is 800,000 to 600,000, so the advantage is on our side!"
In the current situation, the vanguard army has more than 1,800 people, his side has 900 people, while Zhang Lin's side has only more than 400 people, and the remaining neutral faction has only more than 400 people.
Even if Zhang Lin and the neutral faction were combined, their numbers would only be about the same as his.
Therefore, if it were Peng Yong, he would say: "No matter how you look at it, the battle force is nine hundred men against four hundred men, so the advantage is on our side!"
Now, Peng Yong got out of the car, surrounded by a group of lackeys. He first looked at Zhang Lin, who was observing the terrain, and then said to the people around him: "When the fight breaks out, you all better be smart. No one is allowed to go in without my order!"
"yes!"
Everyone around immediately agreed.
Only Kim Sina remained silent, her face cold.
Everyone was used to it.
That's just Jin Sina's personality; she doesn't care about anyone except the city lord.
