A wolf smoke rose into the sky, and it was extremely visible in this clear sky.

In the quarry, Zhang Yang, who was on full alert, Wu Yuan and the others were dumbfounded.

What the heck?

"Village Chief, looking at the direction of the wolf smoke burning, it should be about forty or fifty miles southwest of the quarry, if we guessed before, it should be related to the village of the jackals. ”

Wu Yuan was the first to speak.

"Is there some conspiracy here?" said Tao Yong, another shield captain, after all, their group was carrying out a plan to lure the enemy.

So everyone looked at Zhang Yang, after all, due to the extreme lack of intelligence in this primeval forest, no one dared to predict what would happen next, and no one could afford the consequences.

Therefore, only one person can make a decision.

"First of all, we can be sure that after the previous battle, the Gnoll Village simply did not have enough strength to launch a new round of war against us in such a short period of time, so the three scouting imps found by the Ghost Priest before could not have been sent by the Gnoll Village. ”

At this time, Zhang Yang groaned.

"Secondly, the wolf smoke is a full forty or fifty miles away from us, and at this distance I am more inclined to think that it is some kind of distress signal or a signal that represents some other meaning, but in any case, it is unlikely that it is a trap. ”

"Thirdly, we've been so busy consolidating ourselves for a while that we don't have a good understanding of the area, which could lead to miscalculations when we encounter enemies in the future, so I decided that the change starts now, and we need to figure out what's going on there?"

"Tao Yong, you take the two of you to escort the craftsmen back, and the others will come with me. ”

Hearing Zhang Yang's decision, Wu Yuan said: "Village Elder, isn't it too risky for you to go in person, why don't I take someone to inspect it myself." ”

"What kind of adventure is this, from now on more dangerous things will happen every day, will I always hide in the fortress and wait for death? For our village to grow, it is simply not enough to rely on the surrounding area of a few kilometers, we must at least incorporate the territory of the deer demon and the territory of the gnolls. ”

"And now, there is an enemy in our future territory, are you embarrassed to let me hide back? I was scared into a shrunken turtle without even knowing who the enemy was, then I would still be a fart village chief, and I would just admit defeat and surrender. ”

Zhang Yang refuted Wu Yuan with a resolute face and righteous words, and immediately won the respect of the soldiers, but as everyone knows, these words were for him to cheer himself up, mother, he is also afraid of death.

But is it useful to be afraid of death, if you don't find out at this time, then maybe in a few days more powerful enemies will come to the city.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the quarrying team immediately turned into a scout team, and rushed away in the direction where the wolf smoke was ignited.

If it was in the plains, the distance of forty or fifty miles could be reached in more than ten minutes at most, but in this forest, it took Zhang Yang and them almost an hour to arrive, and in the middle, they also destroyed a few monsters above level 10 who had the courage to provoke them.

However, when they saw the place where the wolf smoke was burning, they all gasped.

It was indeed a village of gnolls, and it was larger than Zhang Yang had imagined.

This gnoll village was built on a hill, with a stream at the bottom of the mountain, and in the center of the village was a huge stone castle with a diameter of more than 500 meters, and outside the castle, a two-meter-high stone wall was built along the stream.

Outside the stone wall, at least thousands of acres of farmland have been reclaimed, and traces of mining can be seen in the distance.

Needless to say, the prosperity of this gnoll village is at least 500 points, and the livability index must be above 50 points.

However, the village of the Jackals, which had flourished so much, was now invaded by an even more powerful enemy.

There was not a single gnolla farmer in sight in the farmland, the crops that were growing well were trampled into mud, and the seemingly solid stone walls were violently blasted open by a dozen large openings.

At least hundreds of green humanoid youkai are attacking wildly.

It was only a matter of time before the castle was captured.

"The village chief is a kind of monster with green scales on the surface of the body, although it has the appearance of a human, but its facial features are beasts, its strength is very strong, and its defense is very high, and it is difficult for the feathered arrows shot by the captain of those gnolls archers to cause fatal damage to them, in addition, there should be three heroes among these green-skinned orcs to supervise the battle. ”

"As for the wolf smoke we saw before, it should be some kind of spell or some kind of ritual of the jackals, because I saw that green wolves kept rushing out of the forest and biting those orcs like crazy, but unfortunately it didn't work at all, and those orcs easily killed these green wolves. ”

Hiding at the edge of the forest, Zhang Yang frowned when he listened to the intelligence reconnoitred by an archer captain, and sure enough, the worst situation happened, and before he, the self-proclaimed regional overlord, cleared up and controlled this area, a force whose overall strength far exceeded that of the deer demon and the jackal intervened strongly.

The Gnoll Village is bound to be wiped out today, and this powerful Orc Village will definitely discover his village in the next few days, no, maybe it has already been discovered, a new war is inevitable.

"Village Chief, no, we have been discovered, and two orc squads are outflanking us, one on the left and one on the right, with about 50 troops, and they are very fast. ”

The soldier in charge of the guard suddenly shouted.

"Well come, ready to fight!"

Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and gave an order, since war is inevitable, then weigh the strength of these orcs first.

"Wu Yuan, you lead the team, give me the orc team on the left flank first! ”

"Yes!" Wu Yuan said in a deep voice.

The morale of the soldiers is high, because during this time, they have been patrolling and guarding the quarrying team, and the occasional few youkai are not enough to enjoy, and now they are just comparing these orc soldiers who look equally powerful.

At this time, Wu Yuan took the lead, behind him were two spear captains and six archer captains, and then behind were nine shield captains in two columns, as if the wild geese were flying south, and they were at ease in it, this simple combat formation was designed by Wu Yuan.

If you advance, you can attack quickly, he is the vanguard, the archers output suppress, and the shield soldiers are adult characters and shield collisions, and they can destroy the opposite array in a blink of an eye.

If you retreat, you can form a shield formation at speed and alternately cover the retreat.

However, Zhang Yang and they had only rushed out a few dozen meters when they saw that a team of about thirty orcs had broken out from the orc army besieging the city, and they rushed over directly.

"Village Chief, there are little ghosts around here, watching our every move!"

Wu Yuan shouted in a low voice, because this was the only possibility.

"Can you fight?"

Zhang Yang asked in a low voice, before he said this, he felt a little cowardly, despised himself, and without waiting for Wu Yuan to answer, he shouted viciously: "Rush up and kill them!"

Fortunately, their own soldiers will not joke and show off, and they all speed up and be murderous.

At this time, the three orc teams on the opposite side happened to be located in the north, west, and south directions, with a straight-line distance of more than 600 meters, more than 800 meters, and more than 1,000 meters respectively.

Among them, the orc teams in the north and west are rushing in a straight line, and the orc teams in the south are going around in a big circle, trying to intercept their back road.

It's a slippery tactic.

At this time, Zhang Yang said that he was not afraid, that was to lie to the ghost, and the opposite side was equivalent to three times the strength of his own side, and this battle was completely different from the previous battles, and it was a veritable field battle.

"Nima, it's the first time I've gone to the Qinglou**, how can Lao Tzu be cowardly!"

Zhang Yang's teeth were gritted and creaked, but he rushed forward without saying a word, and the blood in his whole body also gurgled upward, I don't know if it was fear or bloodthirsty, anyway, he let it out.

Because there is no way back.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were already rapidly approaching, and the six archer captains on the Zhang Yang side suddenly stopped in the middle of running, stretched their bows, took arrows, and fired them in one go.

The six strengthened Golden Eagle armor-piercing arrows instantly burst into sonic speed, spanning more than four hundred meters in a terrible sound of breaking the air, directly hitting the three orc soldiers who rushed to the front.

This rate of fire is too fast, faster than the captain of the jackals' archers, after all, Zhang Yang's big bow that strengthened them with mana before is not a joke, even if it is only a ten percent increase, it is enough to be fatal in such a battlefield!

In particular, they also used the Evil Breaker Golden Eagle Armor-Piercing Arrow, which has a sharpness of +3.

Those orc soldiers covered with green scales were certainly very defensive, but they were killed instantly without any suspense under such a fire.

"Huh!"

A flash of white light flashed, and the loot was plundered back in no seconds.

This is also the benefit of the village building order, no matter where it is, as long as it is a monster killed by the village soldiers, then it has the ability to recover the loot.

"Strangled the level 15 berserker captain. ”

"Capture 3 crippled captain-level demon spirits. ”

"Gain 1800 energy. ”

"Get 3 Hope Shards (Gray)"
