Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown - Chapter 1229 Losing The Command

“But if they retreat, your plan will fail, won’t it?” Polly didn’t expect that Zachary had thought this far out.

“Don’t worry. If they do decide to retreat, I will immediately know. Once they do, I will immediately come up with a solution.
