Gemu left a mark on the map and pointed to it, saying, "They ran in a hurry, and if they ran in a hurry, they must have left traces. We can just follow the general direction they fled in!"

He then called over a few messengers: "You few go and relay the order to all the units you can reach, tell them to scout ahead and move in this direction! This forest is big, but there are only a few directions they can run in. I don't believe that 100,000 men can't catch one person!"

Although the electromagnetic pulse bombs of the Black Soil tribe destroyed electronic devices, forcing everyone to use primitive means of communication.

Li Mo was able to use Ant-Man's advantages to transmit intelligence, but the Black Soil Tribe was not entirely without options.

For example, Gemu had many messengers by his side for his command.

Of course, the Black Soil Tribe's orders couldn't be delivered as quickly as Li Mo's, but their advantage was their numbers. Even if the orders were slower to be relayed, as long as they could slowly encircle Li Mo, that would be fine.

While leading his men to hide and evade in the forest, Li Mo also launched an attack on the weak forces of the Black Soil Tribe, bringing the essence of guerrilla warfare to its extreme.

Their ten-man squad managed to eliminate more than two thousand people.

This can be described as an unprecedented achievement, because the highest realm of Li Mo and others is only the Two Elements Realm.

No one in history has ever achieved such a feat during the Two Realms Realm.

But the enemy still can't capture them!

But gradually Li Mo also realized that something was wrong. As time went by, they found that they were encountering more and more enemies while hiding.

Previously, it might take tens of minutes to encounter a group of enemies, but now it only takes about ten minutes to spot them.

What does this mean?

This means that the enemy has figured out their general direction and is closing in on them.

There were only ten of them; it was only a matter of time before they were surrounded.

Meanwhile, most of the brothers in the vanguard battalion had fought to the very last moment.

Li Mo was unaware that the vanguard battalion, which had over 5,000 men, had now dwindled to just over 2,000.

Most of the prisoners rescued from the mines had already been killed, and even about half of the original brothers of the vanguard battalion had died.

Of course, their sacrifice was not in vain. The enemy's 100,000-strong army encountered strong resistance and was not only held up for a full day and night, but also lost tens of thousands of lives!

Such a victory is unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Almost everyone was exhausted, and many even died from exhaustion, truly fighting to the last moment.

Even Gemu was shocked by the vanguard battalion.

He originally thought they would annihilate the enemy in less than two hours, but now a day and a night have passed and the enemy is still putting up a stubborn resistance, and their sacrifices are far greater than those of the Great Xia.

"These people are truly stubborn! The Great Xia people are indeed terrifying! Unlike us, they don't fight for survival, but for some inexplicable faith, and the power of this so-called faith is even stronger than ours!"

Gemu sighed, then looked at the map again. He had marked the map with many red dots, and the red line connecting these dots was the approximate direction of Li Mo's escape.

Under Gemu's command, the 100,000-strong army, which had been dispersed into smaller units, gradually encircled Li Mo. Li Mo was running out of ammunition and food and was about to face his final moment.

Gemu marked the last point on the map, which was also the final location Gemu had prepared for Li Mo.

Then Gemu threw down his pen and said in a deep voice, "Let's go! I want to see for myself what kind of person this brat really is! What will we get in return for all this sacrifice!"

Gemu ordered everyone to close in and surround Li Mo's ten-man team.

Looking at the dense flames all around, Li Mo understood that the enemy's encirclement had reached its final moment.

Because of the electromagnetic pulse bomb, Li Mo was unable to contact Zhao Zhenyuan at all, so it could be said that the ten of them had to be prepared to sacrifice themselves.

Li Mo sighed, then resolutely said to Ant-Man, "Ant-Man, give orders to all troops to retreat westward. Avoid conflict with the enemy as much as possible. If conflict occurs, break through with all your might. The enemy shouldn't fight to the death!"

"what?"

Ant-Man was a little puzzled, then said, "Commander, but our direction is to the east..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ant-Man immediately understood the meaning of Li Mo's order.

Now that we've reached the final moment, the enemy's main target is Li Mo, so they will only come for Li Mo. As for the others, they won't care too much at this point.

Li Mo had already prepared for the worst, but he wanted to preserve some manpower for the vanguard battalion.

Ant-Man nodded calmly: "Commander, I understand!"

At this moment, Zheng Jiahao walked over and slowly said, "Li Mo, are we really going to do this? The vanguard brothers heading west will put even more pressure on us. We could have bought some more time!"

Li Mo does not yet know the exact number of casualties in the vanguard battalion, but he knows that the number is definitely not low. He personally selected those people to go on the expedition, and he also personally rescued those prisoners from the mining area.

Li Mo didn't want anyone to be unable to return!

"That's enough. As people of Great Xia, they've done enough! Some seeds must be left!"

After saying this, Li Mo decided not to run anymore and stayed where he was, quietly waiting for the enemy to come.

This location is roughly the same one that Ge Mu drew for Li Mo.

At this point, Li Mo had nowhere left to retreat, surrounded by people from the Black Soil Tribe on all sides.

Even if 10,000 have died, they still have 90,000 left.

But Li Mo's team still only had ten people.

The outcome was predictable.

Xu Feng took out a cigarette, lit it, and forced a smile: "Boss, I've read some books from before the spiritual energy revival. Don't you think we look like those anti-enemy heroes or something?"

"Shut your jinx! He's not dead yet, is he?" Zheng Jiahao laughed and cursed.

But in reality, everyone knew that the hope was slim at this point; the main force of the Great Xia could not possibly arrive in just one day and one night.

Even at the very last moment, Wu Yuqing did not forget her purpose in joining the army.

She suddenly looked at Li Mo and said, "Li Mo, it's come to this, can't you have a fight with me? I want to see just how strong you really are!"

Li Mo was speechless for a moment, but in the end he had no choice but to grant Wu Yuqing's wish.

However, just as Li Mo raised his spear, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the Peerless Sword in Wu Yuqing's hand.

"Wu Yuqing, I know you want to beat me! But I've always wanted to understand, what exactly is swordsmanship? What is sword intent? Don't misunderstand, I mean I'm also very interested in swords! Can I borrow your Peerless Sword?"
