They had to move. Huo Chen's army was obviously outnumbered. Once the enemy rooted around the area, the enemy might be able to wipe them out in one go.

"Get off me!" Swung Huo Chen after taking two steps forward as he noticed Wen He clinging onto him like a koala.

"Fine…" Wen He got off Huo Chen and followed him quietly.

They then passed a field of breadseed poppy and went over a few slopes. Wen He might be a trained agent in the past, she still could not take that much of physical work as she picked a stick off the ground to support her for the rest of the journey.

She lethargically dragged her feet, nearly stumbling upon the broad and muddy river before her.

What the ****.

I'm going to die here.

Wen He thought as she forced through the current. She must not burden Huo Chen!

"We take a break for a few hours after this," said Huo Chen, who somehow noticed the fatigued look on Wen He.

"Hurray!" She threw the stick away and stood up straight, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Okay…"

Leading the 10 soldiers behind, Wen He and Huo Chen stepped into the murky water. She shuddered upon the frigidity of the water and as the more she walked forward, the much higher the water became, till her collarbones were fully submerged. It became muddier as her steps turned out to be much harder to lift. Eventually she slowed down, telling everyone she was okay till she became the last person in line. She took a deep breath, looked at the starry sky and kept walking.

THUMP!

That was when Wen He crashed into something as her entire body toppled and fell into the water.

And an arm held her waist to pull her up, "Come here, I'll carry you."

"No," she declined with a sturdy look, "I'm fine."

She must refuse the kind offer from the commander. Huo Chen was the one that was supposed to preserve most stamina. Huo Chen frowned as his torchlight shone upon her face which was no longer gorgeous and only worn-out. Huge droplets of sweat rolled off her face, all the way down her hefty breasts that were lifting and sinking erratically.

"It doesn't mean you can't hold my hands." Wen He grabbed his hand suddenly and wrapped his fingers. The warmth of Huo Chen's palm cheered her up. The bright smile left something inside Huo Chen as he stared at her.

"Let's go." Wen He was pumped for some reason as they walked further down into the forest. They were chatting, cracking jokes, pointing out the shiniest star in the sky to distract them from the pain and lethargy.

"Huo Chen, are they searching for us? Can we really take a break? How about we just get to the end tonight? Where's Song Shou? How are we meeting him?" Wen He launched a barrage of inquiry upon Huo Chen.

"Yes we can." That was the only question he answered—they could take a break. He had factored in all sorts of variables in the operation. If Wen He could think about those issues, how could an elite commander like him not?" That was why he had sent out 500 men the night before to guard several spots around the base while awaiting further command. It doubled up as a fakeout to make the foes presume that he had fallen into their trap by dispersing his army.

Everything went as predicted. The foes launched a full attack at his base.
