The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Abes led his troops, which had increased more than tenfold, and headed back towards the target that had been chosen long ago.

With enough manpower, Abes no longer forced the elderly, women and children to join the combat team, but instead assigned them all to the logistics team.

At the same time, Abes also expanded the scout team and the security team.

And let the scout team lead the defense team in a ratio of one to ten.

After the entire formation was dispersed in this way, it became a team that was like a grid, intertwined and influencing each other.

Although it is impossible to bring everyone's combat level to the same level in a short period of time, at least we can maintain a team that will not fall apart while walking.

After walking for a while, some people began to wonder what the target was.

The group of people who had followed Abes before were naturally very clear that their target was the Lizardman supply point that they had attacked and looted before.

However, the newcomers were a little confused.

Didn’t this ancient hero say that he would lead them to take revenge on those who rode on the people’s necks?

Why is the first target the Lizardman?

"To fight foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country. At that time, Lord Abes led us to take over one-seventh of the division of that supply point. We got two full truckloads of supplies..."

Although the two truckloads of supplies are a drop in the bucket for the current "large army", they have a completely different meaning for the team that previously had less than fifty people.

"Lord Abes was extremely brave. He led us in battle twice, making the enemy think that they were surrounded by a large army, so we had to send some people out to seek help."

"Lord Abes came to rescue you in the hope of taking you with him to completely capture this supply point."

"After we take this place, not only will we be able to enjoy a good life, but we can also make the lizardmen that are wreaking havoc in the country lose their supplies and force them to retreat."

Along the way, hearing that the people who had followed him before were spontaneously helping him with publicity, Abes nodded with satisfaction.

The supply truck that we got from the Lizardman supply point earlier would be just enough for the army to return if we used it sparingly.

After that, apart from capturing supply points, they would probably have to go back to hunting and gathering.

Now that the population has expanded so many times, although hunting and gathering will certainly increase as well, who would be willing to work hard hunting and gathering when they can get food, dry food and rations directly?

This was also one of Abes's arrangements, a desperate measure.

As long as you don't want to collect ingredients and just want to get rations that can be simply cooked and eaten, then just fight to your heart's content.

Although it may seem a bit unreasonable, it is ultimately a means to stimulate fighting spirit.

In addition, when Abes was on his way back and passed by the place where the victims were buried, he used the method of throwing money in public as an incentive.

That night, Abes gathered everyone in front of the graves of the victims. With a wave of his hand, he piled up the treasures that the scout team had obtained from the Lizardman supply camp in front of the crowd.

At that time, it was Gaviling who found the bottle of precious healing potion from the pile.

Then, Abesi took out a part of it and rewarded those who had fought bravely in the battle against the defeated soldiers in public.

"We have returned here again, to the place where we buried our victims and swore our oath..."

Abes spoke slowly, his steady tone, although it was just a straightforward narrative, was particularly catchy in the details.

In the audience, some people who were dismissive at first began to resonate with the emotions when they heard about the battle against the defeated troops and the casualties.

"I'm not trying to intimidate you. I never have. I just want to tell you seriously how great the risk is that we are fighting for."

"No amount of reward can bring back their lives, but we must do this to encourage those who come after us to be more cautious and just as brave and fearless."

"Some people are able to live to receive these rewards; however, for many more people, their rewards can only be received by their relatives or friends."

"But whether dead or alive, they are our warriors, and their efforts and sacrifices will not be forgotten."

While saying this, Abes also emphasized the generosity of the reward.

Even if some people have made up their minds to join Abes just to get security, no matter how Abes or others try to persuade them, they are unwilling to contribute to the common good.

Then at least, money will excite their hearts.

Treasures of gold, silver, precious trophies and jewels shone alluringly in the moonlight.

Every person who receives an award will receive a bow of thanks from Abbes himself.

The brave man from a thousand years ago did not treat others as a superior. His golden eyes still revealed the same clear trust and admiration as before.

It can be said that this is a show, but it is not a show.

After the rewards were distributed, Abes pointed to the property behind him which was far from being divided.

"These rewards are what everyone who fights bravely deserves, and new members don't need to be envious, because the opportunity is right in front of us," said Abes.

"We have come a long way, but this is only the beginning of our battle." Abes held the half-sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm, and then raised it high.

"Tomorrow, we will return to the vicinity of the supply point. There are still many enemies there that have not been defeated. But at the same time, there are also more supplies and more property there."

"We were short of manpower at the time, so we only managed to defeat a section that was one-seventh the size of the area, and took away a few parked cars during the chaos. More things were still waiting for us there because of lack of manpower and time."

"Please believe that the Lizardmen's ambitions will not stop here. They took advantage of the civil strife in the country and made no secret of their ambition to penetrate deep into the northern border."

"The inaction of the meat-eaters cannot prevent us from continuing to defend our land and protect our homes."

"Taking down a large supply point of the Lizardmen will not only cut off their advance, but also give us a new life."

"My fellow countrymen, this is not only for our short-term march needs, not only for our own food and drink for a long time in the future, but also for our ability to fight against any forces that interrupt us in a long-term and continuous manner after that."

“This is a win-win situation—and we are the army of justice with dignity and freedom that has won twice and will achieve the final victory.”

As Abes raised his hand, the people in the audience shouted in unison, and morale was high.

However, how many of them truly realized the importance of their actions, and how many of them were just tempted by the money on the stage and the more money that Abes talked about?

Finally, under the moonlight, Abesi led some people who volunteered to stay and observe a moment of silence. They stood silently in front of the grave for a moment and ended the day's gathering.

After being promised a rich reward, and watching the two supply trucks' gradually empty "bellies", they were naturally extremely anxious.

With the dual effects of these two incentives, the morale of the entire army was so high that it was unimaginable to Abes.

In addition, with the assistance of Abes's sprint tactics, the entire team actually completed the day's journey by noon.

However, they saw traces of a familiar creature on the road again.

Those were huge footprints of a wolf, shaped like plum blossoms.
