"I'll clear the way ahead and take most of the pressure. You all follow behind me and take a smaller part of the pressure," Wen Yu said, staring into Li Quan'an's eyes. Seeing the astonishment there, he added, "For every extra person, a few vines will be distracted. The more people there are, the less pressure I'll face upfront. As for who makes it out alive, that will depend entirely on individual ability."
Wen Yu casually sipped his liquor, patiently waiting for Li Quan'an's reaction.
In reality, whether he led the charge or brought up the rear made no difference to Wen Yu. He would be attacked by the vines regardless of his position. However, the phrase 'leading the charge' sounded better and, more importantly, would be more readily accepted by these cannon fodder.
