Chapter 22. Poisonous Forest

Because of this special geographical environment, Jiangxin province and Zigrek state sent troops several times to eliminate the others whistles, but it was a pity that each side returned without success.

As a result of their findings, the complex environment is not conducive to the advancement of the army, not to mention that if the movement is too large, the people hiding in the other side's part of the forest wil scatter like birds and beasts, and will only return after the army leaves.

The Poisonous Forest is located in the border area, too far away from the surrounding cities, and there is no official road nearby. It is a place off the beaten track, so the two countries does not take great care to eradicate the other's scouts.

Over time, the forest has become an official sanctuary for military criminals. Of course, this requires some serious military slip ups if a soldier wants to be sent to the Poisonous Forest as a scout.

This is also an important reason why the Ancient Road is gradually being abandoned. For these criminals in military clothing will have no compunctions in robbing their own countrymen of their goods.

The Poisonous Forest is not a large area of complete forest, but a collective name covering a radius of hundreds of miles.

All kinds of areas are scattered among them, a miasma forest to the east, a quagmire swamp to the west, and sometimes a dense forest that seems to be quiet, but there are so many venomous snakes and beasts hidden. It is like a maze of life and death.

In addition to knowing that he will die, the soldier will have no choice but to go to the forest of poisonous mist and try his luck. Ordinary people will avoid it for fear, let alone approach it.

But today, a group of people who are not afraid of death have come to the edge of the poisonous forest.

Lin Feng, Ouyang Ke, and the Panying Camp headed by Shi Bo and the Tang retainer squad headed by Major Hao.

Starting from the Rimtar arracks, they marched for half a day. They finally arrived at the Poisonous Forest, evening of May 17. Lin Feng only has less than one day in advance to clear the path for the main army. And he has to clear the Poisonous forest before the soldier legion has used the ancient road. Meaning that the poisonous forest has to be cleared before noon tommorrow. Do something which the predecessors have'nt done with an army, using only a measly group of not even 160 men, how laughable, typical Lin Feng.

At this time, everyone is wearing a hat to cover their faces, and they are dressed in wide cloaks to hide their weapons. They are completely dressed up as people in the Jianghu. What is more special is that everyone is carrying a huge bag behind their backs, which looks full of weight.

In order to hide their whereabouts, they didn't take the traveller's road. But instead used their forty swords and shields soldiers lead by Wei Lian and Saya to open the way with steel knives in turn, specifically to sneak in the dense forest and tread the no man's land.

Although some people have opened the way, there are many trees and poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants, and every step is extremely difficult.

This is very telling of the stamina and professionalism of the Panying soldiers.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Only when marching in such a difficult environment, no one screamed with bitterness. Everyone just walked forward silently without complaining at all.

From this point, Lin Feng is very satisfied with people from the Panying camp.

As for Shi Bo and the others, they also have an admiration for Lin Feng, the commander in chief who looks like he could be their son.

Although the terrain here is difficult, they are not unexperienced, and even the more difficult roads have been walked, which is nothing to them.

But what's surprising is the Lin Feng who seemed so weak, and Shi Bo and others thought that not long after they got into the woods, Lin Feng couldn't stand it and asked to retreat.

How can I think that Lin Feng not only didn't retreat, he didn't even frown. Instead, he was still at the forefront of the team, helping to cut with two swords and clearing the way during the rotation of the sword and shield soldiers.

Everyone can also see that Lin Feng is not only holding on, but is really accustomed to this environment, even faintly, Shi Bo feels that Lin Feng seems to feel like a fish in water.

He didn't know that Lin Feng had done this kind of thing dozens of times in his life. Walking in the dense forest is like walking in his own living room. How could he not be able to stand it.

While opening the road, Lin Feng ordered the people to collect all the branches, shrubs, etc. that were cut along the way, and bundle them into bundles and bundles. After walking for most of the day, everyone lifted the bucket-thick bundle of wet wood. None of them gave up.

This is also due to the excellent physical fitness of the great soldier. If you need to replace them with an ordinary small soldier. He may not be able to carry a bundle of wet wood, let alone move, while carrying a heavy object in the dense forest with no road at all.

Shi Bo tried to protest against Lin Feng's inhumane practices several times, but when he saw Lin Feng also carrying a bundle of wet wood on his shoulders that was not inferior to their own, he closed his mouth after all.

After walking like this for a few hours, when everyone's physical strength was reaching the limit, they finally found an open, low-lying flat ground in the dense forest.

Including Lin Feng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

People had been waiting here in the depression, they were the scouting team led by Chen Ming and the vile faced He who left the group to explore the path.

Walking through the dense forest where the direction cannot be distinguished, Lin Feng and others rely on the marks left by retainer He in advance, otherwise they are afraid that they are still exploring in the mountains.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Chen Ming saw the party walking through the dense forest, and even bowed to Lin Feng on one knee and bowed to Lin Feng.

"How?"

Midnight is approaching, and Lin Feng asked retainer He while instructing everyone to rest for some time. Lin Feng specifically chose each of these soldiers for their scouting proficiency and night vision.

"We have already explored the area, and there is still a short journey from here to the nearest Stan area. There is no sign of activity within 2 miles of this place."

Retainer He replied.

According to incomplete statistics, there are at least four to five thousand Stan scouts hidden in this area of hundreds of miles. After years of operation, dozens of different forces, large and small, have been formed, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Although these Stan forces are always competing for merits with the other camps constantly, when foreign enemies like Han invade, they will definitely put aside their private grievances and unify themselves!

The Poisonous Forest is the only place where the military felons of the Stan from the three surrounding States can continue to serve their sentence while still being free to do what they want. It is like their safe haven, and no one wants to lose it.

Therefore, if there are any Han who dares to go to the Stan side of the poisonous forest, no matter who it is, it will inevitably cause fierce resistance from all the Stans inside. This is the tacit understanding of every Stan in private.

If today you let the Han take an inch, who is to say they will only stop with just that?

When they were still approaching the Poisonous Forest, Lin Feng had already told everyone the purpose of this trip. The purpose of sending retainer He and the scouting group is to explore the way first and also to avoid being discovered in the Poisonous Forest, for amongst his retainers, He has the highest scouting and roguery proficiencies, almost reaching old guard level.
