Chapter 17: Murder in the Night
"My lord, what's the matter?"
An Long was also stunned, and hurriedly looked at Su Bai: "Do you need me to do something for you?"
Su Bai suddenly spoke, and what he said made the nearby Huaxia soldiers nervous, and they all looked at Su Bai.
"We've all overlooked a crucial thing. ”
Su Bai frowned and said with a wry smile: "None of us have ever entered the trial land, and none of us know how long the trial mission will last. ”
"If the trial mission can't be finished in the short term, and they don't come out, do we have to wait for them outside all the time?!"
Su Bai's words made the surrounding warriors couldn't help but be surprised, and everyone forgot to take this layer into account.
In case the other party is held back in the place of trial and does not come out, more than two hundred people are waiting here, staring at each other with big eyes?
If they don't come out for a day, we will lay in ambush for a day?
What if they don't come out for days?
Do you want to keep ambushing all the time?
That's not realistic!
And it's such a waste of time!
The early development time of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield was extremely precious, and Su Bai didn't think that he had so much time to waste here.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Xun Yu came to the place of trial with a large army, and Su Bai told Xun Yu about his worries.
"Don't worry, my lord. ”
Xun Yu smiled confidently and said, "We really don't know the length of the trial mission, but that doesn't prevent us from making plans and arrangements. ”
Seeing that Xun Yu was confident, Su Bai was no longer worried in his heart, and asked instead, "Mr. Xun, what should we do now?"
"Set up traps, sweep around, and prepare for ambushes. ”
Xun Yu glanced up at the Xiaolou Temple, approached and observed confidently, and at the same time said: "Lord, we only have to wait for one night, if they don't come out before dawn, just send a few people to stay and watch, and the others can return to the territory on their own." ”
"Good. ”
Su Bai nodded.
One night, Su Bai was able to accept it.
If the night of waiting is fruitless, the traps left behind are enough for the Chosen Ones in the Land of Trials to eat a pot, and then send someone to squat to find out the location of the territory of the new race, and then it is not too late to think of a good strategy.
If the overnight wait is effective, the ambush of the Earth Territory army has a high probability of severely damaging the racial teams in the Land of Trials, and even if it cannot be completely wiped out, it can reduce their number of personnel a lot, inhibiting their development and growth.
Once you've planned for it, it's time to implement it.
Xun Yu had already made arrangements, and as soon as the more than 200 people from the earthling territory arrived, under the command of An Long and other soldiers, they began to deploy defenses.
According to Xun Yu's plan, this battle was mainly based on ambush and sneak attack.
The preparations of the clansmen were naturally based on creating traps and temporary defensive fortifications, and at the same time, Xun Yu summoned An Long, Hao Zhao, Robert and other three people to discuss the details of the battle.
All three of them are rare and qualified clansmen, and Robert is the top agent with the three characteristics of [Witty], [Cunning as a Fox], and [Jack-of-all-trades].
These three people, one is a modern soldier, one is an ancient general, the other is a smart and witty agent, plus the top mastermind Xun Yu, temporarily constitute a think tank under Su Bai's command.
The ambush battle is naturally not as simple as waiting for someone to come out and everyone rushing up.
Many battle details, personnel scheduling, battle division of labor, battle orders, and so on need to be arranged.
When the think tank was making battle arrangements, Su Bai personally led the clansmen to start trapping and manufacturing.
"Cut down the trunks of trees around here, sharpen them and pile them here. ”
"A few of you, go and dig a few pits around here, about two meters wide, one at two meter intervals, and dig all the open space for me. ”
"Do you see these plants? You form a team, look around, collect these plants, the stone tablet crystal records that these plants are poisonous, you should pay attention to safety when collecting." ”
Under Su Bai's arrangement, the clansmen formed a team and began to scatter to work, everyone carried torches, wandering in the forest, due to the search in groups, there were many people, but there were no incidents of beast raids.
When Su Bai returned, the think tank had almost finished discussing the details of the battle and began to personally participate in the preparation of the ambush.
"Clansmen's weapons are a big problem, and now many ordinary male clansmen only hold simple wooden bows and arrows, sharpened trunk spears, etc., which have limited lethality. ”
Su Bai silently observed from the sidelines, not everyone in the clan could bring weapons when they were summoned.
Each summoned clansman carries one thing with them, and most of the items they carry are related to their profession and the qualifications of their clansmen.
Clansmen who are related to the profession and military will inevitably carry weapons as personal belongings, and the higher the qualification, the more precious and rare the relevant items will be.
In the territory of the earthlings, the clansmen carry all kinds of items with them, and they have everything.
When he was in the territory before, Su Bai saw that some people carried a mobile phone with no signal, or a computer, or even a pack of cigarettes.
Better-known people, such as cooks, may carry lethal items such as kitchen knives and boning knives.
"The Earthlings may not all carry weapons when they are summoned, and the situation should be similar if they want to summon the other Chosen One. ”
"This means that not all of the races that are participating in the trial mission are carrying weapons. ”
As soon as Su Bai thought about it, he was no longer worried.
Everyone is at the same starting line, they are all poor people, no one is a landlord, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
12 p.m.
The trap was almost done, and more than two hundred people returned.
There was still no movement in the Xiaolou Temple, and from time to time the unknown roaring sound coming from the golden light curtain attracted the clansmen to look over frequently, but nothing came out.
"Is the trial mission difficult?"
An Long couldn't help frowning: "Why haven't they come out yet?"
"It's a difficult task, but maybe it's a good thing for us. ”
Robt opened his mouth and said with a smile: "If they lose or reduce their personnel because the mission is too difficult, it will reduce our combat pressure. ”
Because of being on the battlefield of all races, the communication and writing of all earth tribesmen will be based on Su Bai, the Chosen One, and no matter what era or country the people of the tribe will automatically master fluent modern Mandarin after coming to the battlefield.
However, Su Bai believed that even without the influence of the stele crystal, Robt, who was a top agent, was also proficient in Chinese, because one of his natural skills was [Twelve Chinese Languages Mastery].
"Lord, what should I do next?"
Xun Yu looked at Su Bai, as long as it was not something that Su Bai took the initiative to ask or entrust, Xun Yu would never give an order without permission over Su Bai.
Although the stone tablet crystal instilled a lot of modern knowledge and language communication knowledge in Xun Yu, he still had the distinction between monarchs and ministers in his heart.
With a top wise man by his side, Su Bai also has confidence in his heart.
If his order is wrong, Xun Yu will remind himself.
Su Bai thought for a moment and ordered: "Continue to deepen the trap measures, strengthen the power of the trap, and also arrange obstacles in farther places to prevent fish from escaping after the war." ”
"At the same time, let half of the clan rest for a while, maintain their strength, and be ready for battle at any time. ”
"We just waited for the night. ”
Su Bai glanced at the small building and temple in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If there is no movement tonight, we can only give up for the time being." ”
"Good. ”
Xun Yu nodded, and took An Long and the others to convey Su Bai's order to the clansmen.
Time flies.
It's three o'clock in the morning.
More than half of the fighters have fallen into a state of light sleep, and the remaining fighters are expanding the range and power of the trap.
Xun Yu, as a literati, was physically exhausted, so Su Baiqiang ordered him to take a nap in the bushes on the side.
"Mr. Patriarch, it seems that tonight, we should not be able to wait for them. ”
Robert glanced in the direction of the temple and sighed.
The clansmen's honorific titles for Su Bai are not exactly the same, some call the patriarch, some call the lord, and some still call the master.
The golden light was still lit up, scorching in the night, and rhythmic roars came out from time to time, disturbing dreams.
"Not necessarily. ”
Su Bai had an intuition in his heart that he didn't think the mission time in the Land of Trials would last long.
The early development time of the Chosen Territory's territory is particularly precious, and if a mission in the Land of Trials can last for several days, the Chosen will never choose to participate in the mission in the Land of Trials.
Wouldn't it be nice to have these days to collect the supplies near the territory?
Unless there are top-level treasures in the Land of Trials that are enough to establish a competitive advantage in the early stage, or a large number of resources, Su Bai also feels that it is unlikely.
There may be rewards such as top-level treasures and lots of resources in the Trials Lands, but the corresponding tasks will also be more difficult.
The gods are not philanthropists, and the benefits must be proportional to the giving.
In the trial land opened at the beginning of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, even if the trial task is difficult, it should be within the limit range that the Chosen One can bear, and there is no trial task that is as difficult as reaching the sky, so it is even more impossible to have a top-level treasure.
Extrapolating from this, there's no reason why the Trials quest would be too long.
Su Bai felt that his guess was not wrong, and the reason why Xun Yu agreed with him to send troops to besiege and kill him should have thought of this layer a long time ago.
While Su Bai was thinking to himself, Robt suddenly shouted.
"Mr. Patriarch, look!"
Su Bai raised his head, and the golden light curtain of the Xiaolou temple in front of him suddenly expanded, and at the same time, the golden light curtain tightened and shrank, as if it was breathing and beating heart.
At the same time, the roars and shouts coming from the golden light curtain became much clearer and louder, as if the voices were getting closer from a distance, or perhaps these voices were gradually losing their hindrance.
"They're coming out!"
Su Bai quickly reacted and ordered loudly: "Hurry! All members return to the team!" Robert, An Long, Hao Zhao, wake up the others!"
"The battle is about to begin!"
