Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

After Zhao Feng interrogated Zhang Shi for some key information, he informed him of the situation. He then left some of his men behind while he escorted the fat man and the other two back to the shelter.

After Zhang Shi learned about it, he focused on asking about Brother Hu's situation in detail. Being able to suppress Zhao Feng in a one-on-one hand-to-hand fight, Brother Hu's fighting ability should not be underestimated.

Afterwards, he built three stone houses near the botanical garden, locked the three captives in each, and had them guarded by vines and sunflowers. He would wait until everyone returned at night to interrogate them in detail.

As for Zhang Shi himself, he brought Pipi and thirty infantrymen and followed Zhao Feng to the tower, preparing to go to the branch of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance to investigate.

Meanwhile, Brother Tiger had already fled back to the branch's shelter and reported the situation to headquarters. On the system screen, a mummy-like humanoid with a bandaged head asked in a muffled voice.

"Brother Hu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Brother Hu had returned to his human form. His back was covered in scars and bullet holes, which had only been bandaged briefly. He was still bleeding. However, he seemed unaffected, in good spirits and with a strong physical stat.

Looking at the mummy opposite, Brother Hu sighed, suppressed his emotions, and recounted his experience in detail.

"Brother Long, we've run into a tough opponent this time. I don't know which faction they belong to, but they're very well-equipped. There are over twenty heavily armored cavalrymen with muskets. The leader is a very capable fighter. All my brothers are dead. If I hadn't transformed and fought him to the death, I'm afraid I would have been killed today."

The mummy opposite was none other than Brother Long, the one Bell had knocked over with a single punch. Yesterday, someone from the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, through some unknown means, managed to evacuate the castle, saving over a dozen lives. However, many of the returning members were severely injured, and even Brother Long was disfigured.

At this time, Brother Long fell silent when he heard Brother Hu talking about the muskets. He remembered that before leaving yesterday, the Eagle Regiment was also equipped with a musket.

With new and old grudges adding up, Brother Long angrily smashed the water cup next to him.

"Fuck, the Eagle Group is going too far. Bell, I will never stand with you!"

"Brother Tiger, I'll send someone over right away. You take a break and heal your wounds. This time, we're going to crush all those bastards from the Eagle Regiment to dust!"

Hearing this, Brother Hu nodded emphatically, took out a pill from his backpack, and swallowed it in one gulp. Then, the bloody hole on his body healed and scabbed visibly, and after a while, he was back to normal.

Not long after, a series of lights flashed, and figures appeared in the Dragon and Tiger Alliance branch. It was roughly estimated that there were hundreds of people. Among them, three big men with ferocious faces stood in front of the group, looking arrogant and domineering.

When the three of them saw Brother Hu, they each clasped their fists and bowed.

Brother Hu nodded and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

"Lao Dao, Lao She, Lao Xie. I believe you all know the specific situation, so I won't waste any more words. The enemy is probably an exploration team from the Eagle Group. Although they are small, they are not pushovers. Be careful when the fight starts, and don't hold back."

Brother Dao was the oldest of the four, a short, fat, bald man who bore a passing resemblance to the character Dafanshu from the comic book "Old Master Q." He was somewhat skeptical of Brother Hu's words and pointed at the brothers behind him.

"Brother Hu, we've dispatched over a hundred people this time, so don't worry. I'm determined to take down the Eagle Regiment!"

……

On the tower side, Zhang Shi has already led everyone to get ready.

He put away the teleportation array and tower, and according to the information he got from the fat man, he indeed found a shelter on the plain.

Zhang Shi first led everyone to hide in the woods, and then sent scouts to check the situation.

The winged scout flapped his wings and flew high into the sky, observing the situation from above for a long time before returning to report the situation.

"A conservative estimate is that there are over a hundred people on the other side. They are packing up their equipment and it looks like they are about to take action."

Zhao Feng grinned when he heard the scout's report.

"Hey, it looks like these fearless guys want to take the initiative to attack."

Zhang Shi nodded and gave the order.

"Everyone, pay attention. Keep hidden and follow my orders."

Cavalry had no advantage in operating in the woods. Zhang Shi wanted to push the enemy onto the plains before attacking, and defeat them directly with a charge. This would also prevent them from retreating to the shelter and looking for an opportunity to teleport and escape.

Just as the Dragon and Tiger Alliance had finished organizing their troops and were ready to set off, Zhang Shi had already quietly laid a tight net, observing in secret, waiting for the best time to charge.

In the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, Brother Tiger was at the front holding a machete. His face was filled with anger and he vowed to avenge his brothers and wipe out the previous humiliation.

The three big men, Brother Dao, Brother Snake and Brother Xie, followed closely behind, each leading a team, ready to show their skills in battle.

"set off!"

At Brother Hu's command, the team marched towards the plain in a mighty manner, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Zhang Shi closely monitored the Dragon Tiger Alliance's movements. When their troops completely entered the plains and were far away from the shelter, he decisively issued an order: "Cavalry, prepare! Follow my command! Charge!"

Following Zhang Shi's order, the cavalry hidden in the woods rushed out like tigers out of a cage, with the sound of horse hooves roaring and dust flying, forming an unstoppable impact force.

At the same time, the infantry quickly dispersed from the edge of the woods and followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Long Ge was horrified. He had never expected to be ambushed here. He hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, be on guard and prepare to fight!" But it was too late. Zhang Shi's cavalry had already swept in like a storm.

The charging cavalry fired their muskets in unison, with flashes of fire and deafening roars. The first volley threw the Dragon Tiger Alliance's ranks into chaos. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry, brandishing sharp sabers, charged into the enemy formation and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Dragon Tiger Alliance members.

Lao Dao, Lao She, and Lao Xie were indeed capable and brave, able to escape unscathed even from the mighty cavalry charge. However, they were powerless against Zhang Shi's meticulously planned tactics. They fought independently, attempting to stabilize their position, but morale was low, and their ranks were gradually divided and surrounded, quickly becoming a disorganized mess.

Seeing the situation dire, Brother Hu attempted to lead his troops out, but was intercepted by the sudden appearance of Zhao Feng, who led his own troops. After a few rounds of fighting, Brother Hu felt a tingling sensation in his hands, forcing him to transform once again into a saber-toothed tiger and engage Zhao Feng in a fierce battle.

At the same time, Zhang Shi, holding Lao Duan, attacked him one by one with a knife, and slowly approached Brother Hu.

Fifteen meters away from him, Zhang Shi decisively used the Shadow Step and flashed behind Brother Hu, followed by a powerful chopped blow using a triple strike.

A shrill howl was heard from the plain. A large tiger, broken into two pieces, fell in a pool of blood. Its body trembled slightly and slowly returned to human form.

"Tiger!"

Seeing this, Brother Snake and Brother Xie on the side were furious and rushed towards Zhang Shi desperately. Only Brother Dao silently retreated to the edge of the battlefield.
