Volume 1 The Wasteland Chapter 13 The Deployment of Ubar
Half of the night had passed, and Cerberus was conscientiously guarding the door of the tent, watching every move of the group, while Mu Chen was sleeping soundly in the tent.
Although he has been dealing with the Boundary Map Department for a long time since he came to the wasteland, all he wants is to defeat this tribe, cross this chasm, and explore more unknowns as soon as possible, and he has not paid attention to their combat deployment and customary tactics. In fact, he knew more about the border buffer zone, and before defeating the boundary map department, he often lived in the buffer zone, thinking about combat skills and trying to find ways to replenish supplies.
After today's battle, he also considered whether he would be attacked if he would rest here, but in the end he stayed, knowing that Yerg's death would serve as a temporary deterrent and make them dare not act rashly. Cerberus is summoned, just in case.
The Boundary Map Department has always maintained an absolute combat superiority over both the Demon Beast and the Mercenary, and in the face of Mu Chen's sudden attack, it caught them off guard and messed up, coupled with the rapid spread of the death of the first warrior Yerg, which cast a veil of mystery over this outsider, and no one dared to approach easily.
The team of people who stayed to monitor Mu Chen, looking at the hellhounds in front of the tent, were terrified, not to mention sneaking up on the night, as long as there was the slightest movement, they would be like frightened birds, ready to retreat at any time.
"How powerful is this mercenary, a monster as powerful as Cerberus can be used as a mount. ”
"Yerg was killed by him, and what did he count as a dog. You still have the kung fu to care about this, what should we do, if he attacks, can we run?"
"I'm sure the clan leader won't leave us behind, and he'll definitely come over after dawn with reinforcements to destroy him. ”
"That's it, we still have twelve guards, I don't believe he can still be an enemy of the crowd, no matter how powerful he is, he is no match for them. ”
Several people whispered while staring at Mu Chen's camp, although they knew that they could not defeat him, they still hoped that powerful reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible tomorrow.
As soon as the sky was faintly light, the Boundary Map Department was assembled, the horns and war drums were deafening, and the mighty army marched neatly towards the rear of the camp with banners.
Close talents such as knights and warriors are at the front, magic and support talents are in the middle, and ranged talents such as hunters and throwers are in the back.
Leading the way were Kazan, Mangu Yun, Ye Suohong, and Timgala, who rode their respective mounts at the front of the group.
Kazan had a firm expression, holding the reins of his horse in both hands, ready to charge at any moment.
Mangu Yun closed his eyes and lay directly on the lizard's back, stilting his legs, looking nonchalantic.
Ye Suohong rode a reindeer, turning her head from time to time to look at Mangu Yun and Kazan beside her, and she was still a little concerned about their quarrel yesterday.
Timgara's centipede swayed from side to side, and as he sat on it, his eyes glazed over, and he swayed with the swing, looking a little funny.
Ubar was in the front and middle of the procession, surrounded by the clan chiefs, and he rode a two-meter-high camel and leaned over to discuss the wartime arrangements with the clan chiefs.
The dust carried by the movement of the 25,000-strong army dispersed in the air and was clearly visible from a distance. Cerberus alertly woke up Mu Chen, and kept barking in the direction of the Boundary Map Army.
The group of people who were monitoring Mu Chen heard the sound of war drums, turned around and saw the sand and dust covering the sky, and knew that reinforcements were coming. was originally lying on the ground, but at this moment, he immediately got up and shouted in the direction of Mu Chen's tent: "Come out and die, your guard dog is so scared that you can't stop barking, stop pretending to be asleep, hahahaha." ”
Mu Chen pushed open the curtain and walked out and shot three arrows directly, killing the three people who took the lead, and the remaining few people hurriedly ran back, and the fast arrows knocked them down one after another, and none of them were spared.
"Thank you for your hard work, go back. "Cerberus disappears after receiving the order. Mu Chen stood in place and looked at the dust and smoke floating in the distance, moving his hands and feet with simple movements, waiting for their arrival.
The sun rises very quickly in the early morning, and after a while, the sky is already bright, and the cool wind at night becomes hot and dry with the sunlight.
As he approached the battlefield, Ubar ordered the march to slow down and send someone to contact the squad that had been there last night. The night passed, he didn't know if there were any new changes, he wanted to grasp all the information to the maximum, although the army was pressing, but it was still safe, the previous light enemy had learned a lesson, this time be a lot more careful.
Mangu Yun originally hated Ubar, but now he refused to attack, and just took this opportunity to taunt him: "People are in front, don't attack quickly, actually send people to investigate, he is alone, what is there to investigate." Have you been sitting in the position of the leader for too long, and you can't even fight? Or is it the death of Yerg that scared you out, and even for your current performance, you are not worthy of being the successor of the leader. ”
Everyone knew that Ubar and Mangu Yun had a bad relationship, but saying this in front of the clan elders really made him lose face, his face was red and blue for a while, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ye Suohong grabbed the corner of Mangu Yun's clothes behind him, and whispered: "What you said is too much, there are too many people here, you better save some face for him." ”
"I've thought about how to fight, you just have to do what you are told. In fact, Ubar was extremely angry, but he couldn't show it for the sake of face, so he could only make a perfunctory understatement.
"According to your orders, you are so timid, are you ready to retreat at any time when you fight, I still fight according to my own habits, don't hold you back, save you from running slowly, haha. Mangu Yun continued to taunt Ubar, completely oblivious to his identity.
"You... You..."Before Ubar could say anything, Ye Suohong stepped forward and dragged Mangu Yun away, and the clan leaders present looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.
Kazan was thinking about how to fight all the way, rehearsing them over and over again in his mind, not paying attention to them, and Timgara looked like he didn't care about himself, not wanting to participate in the conversation between them at all.
The tribe sent out to investigate to inform Ubar that the surveillance team had been killed, and he called Kazan to his side after a few brief questions.
"Although we have a large number of people, when we really fight, there is only one opponent, and the battle line cannot be deployed, we cannot carry out a full-scale attack, and the chance of accidental injury is too high. After all, he killed Yerg, and his strength should not be underestimated, if our fighters are defeated in waves, it will affect morale, and the gains outweigh the losses, I see that you have been thinking silently, is there any better strategy?"
Ubar has always not attacked for a reason, he and Yerg have faced thousands of monsters, and know that it can be cracked to some extent with more enemies and fewer enemies, as long as you are strong enough, no matter how many people there are on the other side, only those few or a dozen attack you at the same time, the battle space is so large, it is impossible to pounce on them all. There is no way to let everyone fight at the same time, and the absolute advantage in numbers cannot be maximized, so he can only rely on wheel warfare to exhaust the opponent, but he doesn't know the limit of Mu Chen's ability and physical strength, and he is afraid that the casualties will be too great if he arbitrarily adopts wheel warfare. After all, he and Yerg were the thousands of demonic beasts killed by wheel warfare, and they knew the drawbacks here.
"I've been simulating a battle with him in my mind on the way here, and since he can kill Yerg unscathed, I'm afraid I'm no match for him. But thinking of Ye Suohong's proposal yesterday, I think it is feasible. The three of us should have no problem dealing with him, the rest of the tribe can look for a gap to attack on the sidelines, I don't believe he has a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, and can handle so many of us. Kazan didn't understand what Ubar meant, and he was still stuck in his own thoughts, thinking that as long as they joined forces, Mu Chen would not be able to defeat them.
Ubar didn't care about Ye Suohong's proposal yesterday, but Kazan reminded him when he said this, so he followed Kazan's thoughts and continued: "The most certain thing is that I, Mangu Yun, and Timgala will create close conditions for you, once you get close, you don't need to do your best, just entangle him, I will arrange for others to form a circle, after he is surrounded, the defense alone will make him tired, and you wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity to give him a fatal blow." ”
"The only question here is Mangu Yun, whether she will cooperate with us, if she does not cooperate, we will have one less major point of containment, which will affect the implementation of the whole plan. Ubar's face was sad.
"I went to find Ye Suohong, and only she could say Manggu Yun. Kazan turned his horse's head to find Ye Suohong, and Ubar called all the clan leaders around him to him and began to deploy.
"After a while, the five of us will strike first, you lead the clans to keep a certain distance to surround him, no need to attack, the front melee talent defense, pay attention to his arrows, and the back ranged talent attacks with accurate point-to-point magic, remember, just distract him, don't use mass destruction magic, and the five of us will solve him." "Ubar has been deployed, and now we are waiting for news from Mangu Yun.
The clan chiefs split up and returned to the clans to give orders and prepare for the next step.
After a while, Kazan returned with Ye Suohong, and Ubar told her in detail about his plan, and specially instructed: "Mangu Yun has always been at odds with me, I am afraid that she will not cooperate, and I still need you to communicate with her, whether this plan can be successfully implemented depends on you." He knew that Ye Suohong was gentle and kind, and even a little timid, and deliberately put pressure on her so that she could not shirk it.
"That's... Then I'll give it a try. Ye Suohong's cheeks flushed, and she looked embarrassed.
Ubar explained to Timgara again, in fact, he was just as worried about Timgara, he usually lived in his own world, he was indifferent to everything, he was always dumbfounded, and he didn't do anything reassuringly.
Ye Suohong found Mangu Yun and said, "I... I just thought of a way to deal with this mercenary named Mu Chen, and after discussing it with Ubar, I think it's feasible, you... Do you want to hear it? ”
Ye Suohong told Mangu Yun about Ubar's plan, but it was only slightly modified, and she was afraid that Manggu Yun would not agree, so she said that she had come up with it herself. Originally, Kazan was the main one, and the four of them assisted, but it was changed to Mangu Yun as the main one, and the rest cooperated, although they lied, but only in this way would Mangu Yun be interested in participating.
"Xiao Yezi, you are really Bing Xue smart, show off your wisdom, such a great idea can only be thought of, Ubar's pig-headed will seek power and usurp the throne, and at the critical time, his incompetence will be revealed, and he has no ability to lead the tribe at all. Mangu Yun happily praised Ye Suohong, without suspicion at all.
In this way, the five people gathered at the front of the team, although they had different ideas, they finally reached an agreement and marched towards Mu Chen's position.
