"Sir, are you saying... that there is a traitor from the Gong family here?"
Qing Fan's words also aroused everyone's vigilance, and they all looked at the people around them.
"There's no traitor among us. Even if there is, he wouldn't be able to pass on the information along the way."
"So what you mean is..."
Qian Yeming pointed to the sky and said, "Besides the vultures, I also saw an eagle in the sky when the desert mercenaries came looking for me. I was just speculating at the time, but now the eagle has flown away."
Qian Yeming's words caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. No wonder the desert mercenaries were able to find and attack them so easily. After all, they had spies above their heads the entire time.
"My friend gave me a flare and told me I could put it up in an emergency."
"What are you waiting for, Commander Qing? The lives of so many of us are in your hands." The wealthy businessman said nervously.
"But..." Qing Fan hesitated. "It's at least three days' journey from here to the Mo family's sphere of influence. I'm afraid he won't be able to see me if I let him go!"
"You don't keep this thing to lay eggs anyway. If you don't need it now, it will be useless when the enemy comes."
After hearing Murong Xiao's words, Qing Fan touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed by what she said.
"Commander Qing, this lady is right. If we use it now, even if the enemy can't see it, it's better than sending out this signal after we've already been found by the enemy!"
After being persuaded by another team member, Qing Fan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to everyone!"
After saying that, he took out a bucket of fireworks from his bag and lit the fuse with a flint.
A cluster of golden lines rose rapidly into the sky like a meteor, lighting up a beautiful pattern in the dark night, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Let's go. It seems we have to travel overnight. Everyone be careful."
After releasing the signal, Qing Fan led the remaining 180-member team and headed for the jurisdiction of one of the four major families, the Mo family, at the fastest speed.
Although it was difficult to travel at night, fortunately there were no large or high sand dunes. Everyone walked on the relatively flat and low hills for almost the entire night. By dawn, the place where the battle had taken place was no longer visible.
In the Xu family castle dozens of miles away, the young master of the Xu family was sleeping soundly with a beautiful woman in his arms, when suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.
Xu Yun was so startled that he sat up instantly. After clearly hearing the butler's shouting, he immediately yelled angrily, "What are you yelling about? Is someone dead or is the house on fire? If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow!"
"Someone's dead! Sir, someone's dead! Something's happened to A-Da and the others!"
"Ada is dead?" Xu Yun sat on the bed, still unwilling to move. One servant died, but there were still thousands of servants.
"Not only is Ah Da dead, I'm afraid all the thousand mercenaries he brought with him are also dead."
"What?" Xu Yun suddenly jumped off the bed, pulled a sheet from the bed, and wrapped it around his private parts before flinging the door open. He saw Liuzi and the housekeeper, who had delivered the message, standing outside his door with pale faces.
"How do you know?"
"Aji, the falcon trainer, said that as long as the mission fails and the entire army is wiped out, it will bring back one of the leader's personal belongings. Just now, Aji received Ada's personal belongings." The housekeeper said on behalf of Liuzi.
"How is it possible? Those who entered the desert in the past,
