As soon as one person spoke out in opposition, a second followed.
This was because they all strongly disagreed with Zhang Yang’s orders.
Although Zhang Yang had set an example for them when facing pirates at sea.
Afterward, when they encountered pirates, they had all taken the initiative to attack.
Therefore, they felt that if Zhang Yang could do something, they could too.
Since that was the case, why should they listen to Zhang Yang?
“This snowy environment is truly unbearable for humans. We should travel through the night!”
“Exactly! I don’t want to stay here for another moment. It’s cold, I’m hungry, and I can’t even sleep properly!”
The crowd complained one after another.
The members of the Ming Long Army were inwardly furious. Although they also disliked the snowy environment, they would never question Zhang Yang!
Because they trusted Zhang Yang, and if Zhang Yang decided to spend the night here, he must have his reasons!
“Are you people done yet? Have you said enough?”
“If you can follow orders, then do so. If you can’t, then get lost! Why so much talk?”
“Do you really think you’ve become powerful just because you killed some pirates at sea? That you’re full of courage?”
A member of the Ming Long Army shouted.
However.
The other side completely disregarded his words, their faces filled with cold smiles.
“Hmph, can’t we speak up if you’re wrong? Are your decisions always right?”
“You! Damn it, I…” Lu Gong was extremely displeased, his internal energy surging, ready to teach them a lesson.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang stopped him in time, shaking his head and smiling.
“There’s no need. These people won’t shed tears until they see their coffins.”
After speaking, Zhang Yang took two steps forward and looked at the other party.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Guang Hong!”
“Very good, do they all listen to you?” Zhang Yang asked.
Guang Hong’s face showed a proud expression upon hearing this.
“We grew up together on the island since childhood. I’m a few years older, so everyone respects me.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded.
“Very well, then from now on, you are the overall commander here. We will all listen to you.”
This!
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, Zhu Zhi and the others were bewildered.
Hu Han Tian was already angry and was about to go out to settle the score with Guang Hong.
Zhu Zhi stopped him in time.
“Wait a moment longer, let’s see what this kid Zhang Tang is up to.”
“Old Hu, listen to the Grand Elder. Don’t be so impulsive. Don’t forget, whenever Zhang Tang acts strangely, there’s always a reason for it,” Hong Tao also said with a smile.
Zhang Yang had given them too many surprises, so they had become accustomed to it.
Therefore, when Zhang Yang did something strange, their reaction was one of anticipation.
Hu Han Tian thought about it and nodded.
However, he had already made a mental note of Guang Hong and vowed to deal with him properly after the expedition!
“Let me be the overall commander?” Guang Hong was suddenly stunned, his face flashing with surprise.
“Are you kidding me?”
“No, this commander position is yours. I hope you will lead us well,” Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Guang Hong suddenly looked at Zhu Zhi and the others, finding that they had no objections, and immediately smiled.
“Hahaha, good, then it’s settled. From now on, everyone will listen to me, and we will travel through the snow overnight!”
Instantly.
The experts of the Hun Yuan realm, led by Guang Hong, let out cheers.
They hadn’t expected to get the command back from Zhang Yang so easily.
If they had known this, they should have objected earlier.
That way, they wouldn’t have to suffer here.
Soon.
Under Guang Hong’s command.
A group of people traveled through the snow overnight, heading towards the Thorn Marsh.
Zhang Yang and the Ming Long Army members fell behind, with Guang Hong leading the way.
After walking for about half an hour.
Zhang Yang suddenly frowned and said.
“Stop for a moment. Something is not right here.”
“What’s wrong?” Lu Gong asked.
“There’s danger nearby. Something is secretly observing us! Lu Gong, quickly tell them to stop, guard the surroundings, and don’t move forward anymore,” Zhang Yang said.
Lu Gong nodded with a solemn expression and walked forward, shouting.
“Everyone stop! Don’t go any further, there’s danger nearby!”
Guang Hong was startled by this.
The group looked around carefully, but after a moment, the tension on their faces disappeared.
“Hmph! What danger? Don’t talk nonsense!” Guang Hong said unhappily.
“Really, Zhang Tang told me this, and he wouldn’t lie!” Lu Gong explained.
But!
His explanation was met with laughter from Guang Hong and his group.
“Lu Gong, you’re an old member of the Ming Long Army and have some status on the central island. Why are you acting like a sycophant as soon as Zhang Tang arrives? Do you have to sniff every fart he lets out?”
“With you like this, no wonder you’re being led around by Zhang Tang. You should learn to oppose him like us, understand?”
“This snowy land is vast and barren, without even a blade of grass. If he says there’s danger nearby, there must be danger? In my opinion, he’s just unwilling to give up command and is trying to scare us by spreading rumors!”
Clearly.
Guang Hong and his group did not believe Lu Gong’s words, treating Zhang Yang’s kind reminder as if it were wind in their ears.
Lu Gong was very angry and directly turned to relay Guang Hong’s words to Zhang Yang.
After hearing this, a disdainful smile appeared on Zhang Yang’s face.
“Heh, let them be. However, we few cannot move forward anymore. There is definitely something terrifying within a hundred meters!” Zhang Yang warned.
The members of the Ming Long Army nodded one after another, obeying Zhang Yang’s orders.
Gradually.
A hundred-meter distance opened up between Guang Hong and Zhang Yang’s groups.
“Hmph, a bunch of cowards. The Ming Long Army has been ruined under Zhang Tang’s leadership! After this expedition, I must suggest to the Grand Elder to reorganize the Ming Long Army.”
Guang Hong deliberately spoke loudly as he watched Zhang Yang and his group fall behind.
Although the Ming Long Army members looked displeased, they did not retort.
They believed that Zhang Yang would not speak without reason, and since he said so, there must be a reason!
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhi and the other two who were secretly following had very grim expressions.
When Zhang Yang had spoken out to warn them earlier, they had already guessed Zhang Yang’s intentions.
“Grand Elder, should we really not intervene? This kid Zhang Tang actually has some skill, to be able to detect danger nearby,” Hong Tao asked.
“We shouldn’t intervene. We must let them learn their lesson, lest they think that as long as they dare to act, they can become the leader of the group!” Hu Han Tian supported Zhang Yang.
As for Zhu Zhi, after a moment of contemplation, he also shook his head and sighed.
“Let’s only intervene at the most critical moment. As for those who are seriously injured, let them return to the ship and wait. I hope that after this, they will understand.”
Clearly.
Zhu Zhi and the others also realized that danger was approaching.
However, Guang Hong, who was walking at the forefront, paid no mind to it, and while walking, he ridiculed the Ming Long Army’s cowardice with those beside him.
But!
The next moment, their expressions changed!
