Two hours later, the team dispersed and detoured, arriving at the previous rendezvous point under the cover of night and snow. Looking at the familiar mountains and forests, Luo Zheng couldn't help but feel emotional. The battlefield had led them in circles, and in the end, they were back to the starting point. Luo Zheng didn't know if the route they'd just taken was smooth, but regardless, the team couldn't endure much more. They could only retreat south following this route. Having spent too long in the icy world, non-combat casualties were bound to occur, an outcome nobody wanted to see.
"No anomalies detected nearby, what do we do next?" After completing a reconnaissance loop with his men, Scholar came over excitedly. The progress of the battles felt novel to him, and he was deeply impressed by Luo Zheng's imaginative tactical command. Putting himself in Luo Zheng's shoes, Scholar admitted he wouldn't have thought to double back.
