Five days later, in the prival forest, Hook Tribe.
The weather was calm with light clouds and bright sunshine. Although it was winter, the climate in the prival forest where the Hook Tribe was located was special. It was a tropical rainforest with high temperatures and abundant rainfall all year round, controlled by the equatorial low-pressure belt. The annual precipitation did not vary much, and there was a lot of rainfall. There was no obvious difference between winter and other seasons. Two days ago, there was a heavy rain, and today the air was much fresher. A breeze wafted through, refreshing and invigorating.
However, Hook was not at ease at all. With a solemn face, he ca to the door, gazed at the familiar valley, the familiar tribe mbers, and the ard guards, feeling oppressed. Four people walked out of the room, each with a serious expression. They were Hook's four great generals: Xiong Bi, Bao Li, Lang Sen, and Viper.
The entire tribe fell into a state of tension, and a vague sense of panic spread. Everyone was packing up and preparing to evacuate, which made Hook even more depressed. After finally reaching today's situation, he didn't expect to face the prospect of disintegration and the tribe's demise.
"Clan Leader, everyone needs one more day to prepare. What do you think?" Xiong Bi said in his deep, muffled voice.
"Tell everyone to hurry up. A day is too long. Whatever we can't take, leave it; we'll co back for it in the future. Surviving is the priority. We must evacuate this afternoon, or it will be too late. Lang Sen, where are the enemies now?" Hook said sternly and coldly.
"Based on their speed of advance, they are expected to arrive here before nightfall," Lang Sen replied angrily.
"Yes, before dark, they are coming quickly. This ti, the enemy won't stop until they eliminate us. Fortunately, Huaxia Country agreed to support us and sent an old friend over. We are confident in this battle. I have a premonition that after this battle, we might establish our own country, not just a tribe. So, brothers, let's work hard. We will beco founding heroes and be rembered in history," Hook said earnestly.
"What if they are deceiving us? I trust our old friends, but I'm not too sure about Huaxia Country. Taking sides with Sam Country is against their national interests. Why would they help us? And they haven't shown up yet. It's been almost ten days since they promised us," Viper said.
"If our old friend said he'd co, he definitely will. Viper, don't doubt our old friend. It's a life-and-death friendship. As for their delay, maybe they've been held up on the way. There are over a thousand regular soldiers outside besieging us. They'll attack by nightfall. The priority is to retreat; we can't resist this." Hook glanced at Viper, reminding him dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, I don't doubt our friend's sincerity. It's just that there are only a thousand of them, and we have five thousand regular troops. Although our single soldier combat power is inferior, we are familiar with the jungle and can fight them openly," Viper quickly added.
"Are you stupid? Don't forget they have established a tactical missile launch base. As long as they pinpoint our exact location, they can call in a missile strike anyti. Do you think we can withstand their bombardnt? Rember, preserve our strength until our old friends arrive to fight. There'll be plenty of battles for you then," Hook reminded him sternly.
"Yes, the Clan Leader is right. Although we can put up a fight, it's imprudent because our numbers are too low, and losses would be unbearable. Don't be impulsive; it'll only lead to warriors dying in vain. Rember, the enemy has over ten small teams already infiltrated; we don't know where they are hiding. These small teams are probably Sam Country's Special Team. If they spot our location and call for missile strikes, we're done without a fight. Evacuating swiftly is the right move," said Bao Li with a serious face.
"Right, as our friend said, where there is life, there is hope," Hook said with satisfaction. He wasn't worried as long as there was no internal contention.
"Clan Leader, what do you an?" Lang Sen asked in surprise.
"I always tell you to learn, and you don't. As long as the 'green hills' remain, the trees will grow, and there'll be wood to burn. So, it's important to keep the 'green hills,' which are our tribe brothers and sisters. We must ensure everyone's safety. Only when everyone is safe do we have a future to look forward to," Hook scolded.
"Got it," Lang Sen replied with a smile.
Hook looked up at the sky, his expression gradually turning somber, frowning. "Two days ago, it rained, and the enemy made no moves. Today's weather is good, and the weather will be good the next few days. This isn't good for us. Speed up the evacuation, brothers. Who will go up to delay the enemy's advance? We must hold on till nightfall; they generally won't move at night, giving us a whole night to evacuate."
"I'll go," Bao Li volunteered, and the others also rushed to express their willingness.
After thinking for a mont, Hook said, "Xiong Bi, you go. You're better at defense and more suited for this task. Just delay their advance, don't engage too hard, and definitely don't put our brothers' lives at risk. We can't afford any loss of our people."
"Yes," Xiong Bi agreed readily and hurried off.
"Viper, take your n and sneak from the side. Seize any opportunity, and withdraw imdiately after striking. Keep communication open at all tis," Hook continued to instruct, still worried.
"Understood, no worries. In this forest, no one can find us easily. If we can't beat them, we'll escape; they can't do anything to us," Viper responded affirmatively.
"Be wary of the enemy's small Special Forces units. Their mission should be reconnaissance. If they find a large force, they'll call for missile support, aning we're done without fighting. Don't group together entirely; judge the situation on the battlefield. Let warn you, don't gamble with our brothers' lives," Hook admonished him seriously.
"Got it," Viper replied solemnly.
"Lang Sen, Bao Li, you take people to escort everyone in retreat, one on the left, one on the right, keep alert for any scouts," Hook continued instructing suddenly, seeing soone rushing over with a Single Soldier Radio on their back. It was his communications officer, causing Hook to frown in suspicion.
"Report, Clan Leader, there's an urgent telegram from the front line," the communications officer said quickly.
Hook was startled, suspecting there was an issue at the front, and hurriedly took over the communication, asking sternly, "It's . What's the situation?"
"Clan Leader, your old friend has arrived, just now," soone shouted excitedly. Hook, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and was about to inquire further when a long-anticipated voice ca on the line, "Ha ha, old friend, I didn't co too late, did I?"
