081. in the first place

Alan waved his hand, motioned for Khruf to sit down, looked around at the crowd and spoke,

"I believe everyone has seen the elves captured by the Bloodtooth Tribe, and those are all from Olya's kind, which is also the reason why the previous reconnaissance captain lost control.

What's even more sad is that Olya's Windwhispering tribe has been destroyed for some complicated reasons, and now many of her people have fled to the forest, presumably in a bad situation.

So our main task is to help Olya find her people, and try not to let the elves fall into the hands of the gnolls. ”

Olya, who was originally in a trance, was full of surprise when she heard Allen's words.

She originally wanted to ask Alan for help, but she didn't expect that before she could speak, Alan actually took the initiative to help, and searching for her kindred was obviously the main reason why Alan gathered everyone.

Not only Olya, but Wen Lei, who was sitting beside her, was also moved in her heart at this time, and she vaguely understood why Olya, as the elf princess of the Wind Whispering Tribe, was willing to submit to Alan, a human.

"But for Lin Hai, we are outsiders, and our numbers are still too small for the search, so I initially plan to take down this Bloodtooth tribe first.

Khruf, if I'm not mistaken, you said there was a shaman in this Bloodtooth tribe, right?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Well, in this way, not only will we be able to accomplish our original goal, but if Khruf can successfully subdue the Bloodtooth Tribe, we will also have the natives who are familiar with Linhai. ”

"No problem, my lord, as long as we knock them down, I guarantee that the Bloodtooth Tribe will be honest. Khruf shouted confidently.

"Very well, in that case, does anyone have any objections to this decision?"

Alan looked around at the crowd, and everyone shook their heads and looked at him, waiting for his next order.

"If there is no objection, I will start assigning tasks. ”

"Locke, you go and interrogate those gnolls again, ask about the targets of some strength in the Bloodtooth Tribe, as well as the geographical location, the more detailed the better, it is best to draw it.

There is also the range of activities of the Bloodtooth Tribe recently, whether they have caught other elves, all of them are asked. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

"Wen Lei, you and the elves are the most familiar with the situation in the vicinity, this mage lady,"

Alan gestured to Dinah beside him and introduced it to Wen Lei,

"Together with the other elves, you can help her draw a map of the surrounding area, including the area around the Windwhispering tribe, and the direction in which the other elves are fleeing, the more detailed the better. ”

"Yes, Lord Allen. ”

"Then you go and take care of these things first, and when this information is fully gathered, we will set off. ”

The man with the task got up to leave, and Cobb leaned over to Allen, "Boss, what am I doing?"

"You?"

Alan looked at Cobb, originally he wanted Olya to go with him to scout nearby to see if there were any other teams of the Bloodtooth Tribe, which could be regarded as a drain on the opponent's strength.

But Alan thought about it later, afraid that it would affect his plan, so he thought about it.

"You can get a good night's sleep. ”

After saying that, leaving Cobb, who was scratching his head and looking confused, Alan turned to leave.

The Great Power Rune that Dinah had drawn was intended to be given to Khruf after Lin Hai's affair was over, but now because he wanted to find elves, he wanted to increase the number of gnolls, and Khruf's subordinates increased, he couldn't let it go on like this, and the necessary control was still needed.

If Khruf's loyalty is not enough, if a large number of gnolls lose control, this is also a headache for Allen.

It took Eren three hours to complete the white power rune in his hand, and asked the crescent moon to call the gnoll leader to the camp.

Now when loading the runes, Alan will no longer have the process of asking for advice, and directly tells the fate of Hruff's betrayal.

Khruf was not qualified to refuse, and now he had no second thoughts about Allen, so he naturally accepted the rune loading.

He had long known that this adult had the means to improve his strength, otherwise Locke and Cobb would not have so much strength beyond the level, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon.

At the same time, after attending the meeting, getting the runes made Khruf even happier, because it showed that he was getting higher and higher in Allen's heart.

After getting the rune, Khruf showed his allegiance to Allen, and happily ran to Cobb's camp, intending to feel the increase in power of the rune.

At that time, Cobb was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and when he saw Hruff coming to look for him, he immediately got up from the ground and rushed out of the camp.

The final result was that the simple Khruf was beaten by Cobb, and he knew at the cost of a blue nose and swollen face that Cobb had more than one rune on his body.

It's just that Cobb was a little ruthless, and until the next night Alan could still see the marks of the beating on Hruff's face, and his nose was swollen bigger than before.

"Remember to avoid Hruff's nose in the future, his sense of smell is very important to us. ”

"Alright, sir. ”

Cobb grinned in reply, knowing that Alan had acquiesced in the fight between them.

The night in the forest is very quiet, with the occasional breeze blowing through the forest and the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other.

The patrolmen outside the Bloodtooth Tribe were about to fall asleep leaning against the thick trunks of the trees, only to be woken up by the sound of continuous footsteps.

He tightened his grip on the axe in his hand, pushed his sleeping companion beside him, looked ahead vigilantly, and was about to let out a warning roar, only to see the other man light a torch and illuminate his face.

It's a team of gnolls.

"The light of Amarsai shines on us!"

After saying this, the leading gnoll made a gesture in the light of the torch, indicating that he belonged to the Bloodtooth Tribe.

Amasai is the shaman of the Bloodtooth tribe, and this sentence is also a code word.

Seeing that the movements and code words were all correct, the stone axe in the hand of the patrolling gnolls lowered their vigilance and let their guard down.

"Why did you go so long and come back?"

After the interest in sleeping was disturbed, the patrolling gnolls were in a somewhat unhappy mood.

"When you go out hunting, and I sleep here, you're qualified to talk to me like that!"

The leading gnolls replied coldly, and swaggered in the direction of the camp with the team behind him.

The nature of the jackal is clear, and if you speak well, you will feel that the other party is easy to bully, and only by fighting back against these jackals will you be afraid.

Sure enough, after Khruf left, the patrolling gnolls didn't dare to say anything, just looked at the bound elves in the team and drooled.

Not long after the group left, several ghostly figures suddenly appeared near the patrol and stabbed their blades into the necks of the gnolls as they were leaning against the trunks of trees and pretending to sleep.

The men weren't too sharp, and they made some soft noises and slight gnoll cries as they cleared out the patrol, but they didn't attract the attention of the other patrols because of the previous group of gnolls passing by.

Afterwards, several men hid the corpses, followed Khruf's team, and continued to grope forward.
