Chen Chuan and his team had set off by vehicle in the morning, but despite chasing until noon, they had yet to catch the mounted troop.
Furthermore, it wasn't hard to tell that the mounted troop was intentionally luring them far away from any station.
If they kept up the pursuit, they likely wouldn't have enough time left to reach the nearest station before nightfall.
Chen Chuan spoke up. "If we turn back now, this whole trip will have been for nothing. I intend to keep up the pursuit and put pressure on them."
He looked at his two teammates. "That means we'll have to spend the night in the wild. You both know how dangerous the nights are here. If you aren't prepared for that, I'll allow you to head back."
Yuan Qiuyuan leaned back in his seat and flashed a nonchalant grin. "What are you talking about, Captain? You're underestimating me. The phrase 'retreat from battle' doesn't exist in Yuan Qiuyuan's rulebook."
Qin Qingque said earnestly, "Captain, I won't leave the team."
