Regarding the secret passage that Dane mentioned, Jieer was the first to express his disbelief: "This is absolutely impossible. I have lived near Broken Dragon Peak for 170 years. You can know the safe secret passage. I can I don’t know? If there really is such a safe passage, the wild elf tribe I was born in would be so easily killed by that beast Ignir?”

This is another unknown secret. In the generation southeast of Schindler, the Smir mercenary group has a good reputation, but everyone only knows Jer's identity as a wild elf from the central mountain range. But not many people know that Jieer still bears such hatred of extermination.

Anyone with ears can hear that the wild elves are quite excited now, and under this excited emotion, there is still a deep fear that cannot be wiped away.

Fear of dragons.

Dane could understand Jayer's emotions, but he couldn't allow him to shake the morale of the army here.

"I said yes, and you want me to prove it? Then follow me. To be honest, Jieer, do you believe that I have mastered such a secret path? It doesn't matter at all. The important thing is Moore General Nuo believes it. A month ago, I discussed this issue with Your Excellency the General. Today’s march plan was also finalized a month ago. I believe that General Morno will not It's a waste, and I won't believe in the existence of that secret path just because of my one-sided words, it must have been investigated. If you really have any doubts, then you can listen to what the general said."

Before, when Moreno was under pressure from all sides, he sold Dane directly, which disappointed Dane, but now he must kick the ball back to Moreno. It wasn't that Dane didn't dare to face everyone's doubts. The most important thing was a question of efficiency and prestige.

And Morno received the 'ball' from Dane, and finally he couldn't continue to sit on the top and keep silent. He said: "Last month, I sent very reliable people to explore the passage that Dane mentioned, and it is indeed enough to accommodate a team of two to three thousand people. Although the road will be difficult to walk, but There shouldn’t be too much trouble on the way—at least it’s much easier than we can pierce the orc army from the defense line of Beast Blood Castle.”

"And..." Dane added in a timely manner, "Even if the green dragon really appeared according to the worst plan, we are not incapable of resisting. With an army of 3,000 people, led by General Morneau himself, Even if the green dragon comes, he can still come and go!"

These words are so decisive that there is no room for refutation.

Although there were still voices of concern among the crowd, when Jere stopped talking, Dane stood firm, and General Morneau stood by his side, the scene lasted for about one lunch In the debate of time, the result is already doomed.

The internal problems of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were temporarily suppressed after this meeting.

After a short break at noon, the whole army set out again. During this period, except for the meal time and the rest every night, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army maintained a fairly high-intensity march.

Sometimes, I have to admit that besides the direct performance in war, this kind of high-intensity rapid march is also a very good test stone to test the combat effectiveness of an army. It's only four days, and the distance of more than 300 kilometers is really not a big achievement. In particular, the entire army completed such a rapid march with luggage.

A master like Dane didn't feel much discomfort after this trip. Including his sword dancer and ranger troops, they basically maintained more than 90% of their combat effectiveness. Even the veterans of the Horror Mercenary Corps, who ran 200 kilometers in four days with their luggage, were still acceptable.

But looking at the entire army, especially when there are a large number of infantry, not every unit has such strong capabilities.

Considering that it will be another difficult journey to climb the Duanlong Peak, and there may be some fighting situations on the mountain, the army must maintain enough physical fitness.

Therefore, the Eastern Expeditionary Army stopped at the foot of the mountain, planning to rest for half a day, and wait until the next day, that is, December 29th, before starting to climb Duanlong Peak.

While the whole army was resting, Dane couldn't rest. At this moment, he was shutting himself and Morno in the tent, staring at the general's magic map, studying the next marching route.

It was said to be research, but in fact it was Morneau who was anxiously looking at the map, and it was Dane who really used his brain.

His mind at this moment has been completely immersed in the map module of Dynasty Heart. Thanks to Morno's high-precision magic map, in the map module of the system, the entire terrain of Broken Dragon Peak is almost 100% restored. Dane, whose mood sank into the map, seemed to be walking in the passage of Broken Dragon Peak himself. The wind blows and floats, and the sand and gravel on the ground are gently lifted up. Every rock and every plant is Shown in front of Dane.

In the map module, except that there is no way to identify moving organisms, almost all situations are clearly simulated, and from the perspective of God, no matter whether it is details or general trends, they are all under control. En is in control.

As for threats from life forms, although the map module cannot evolve in real time, the dragon nest marked on the peak and the dragon settlement near the dragon nest are all clearly marked with the threat range. In addition to this huge threat, other populations on the mountain have also been clearly marked. For example, there is a place on the mountainside where some earth elements will pop up from time to time, as well as the habitats of some monsters, and even some places where goats often pass by, the system uses light green lines to display them on the real-time map. Circled.

The marching route drawn up by Dane has, to the greatest extent, avoided any places that might pose a threat to the army.

Although he already knew it well, even Morno felt nervous before he really started this journey.

Can you not be nervous? This battle, to a large extent, is related to his wealth and life!

After writing and drawing on the map for a long time, Morno raised his head and asked, "So... it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Dane has answered his question several times. But this time, he also said unwaveringly, "Yes, there won't be any big problems."
