Chapter 064: Stealth
"In case, I mean in case, that person...... Hide in the middle of the fire demon team, or simply follow the fire dragon? So what's the difference between that time and assassinating the Yanlong? ”
Gesang's worries are useless in Lytton's eyes, betrayal, is it so easy to betray?
Lytton sneered, "Betrayers are not respected. Since that person chose to betray, he was doomed to a result. is spurned by the clansmen, and the fire demons will not pay attention to it. Even if he hides by the side of the Yan Dragon, his name will not be on the list of people to be protected by the Fire Demon when we attack. ”
"Even the moment we raided Yanlong's side, the Fire Demon Man would deliberately expose this person."
Lytton's tone was a little cold, this kind of indifference in people's hearts, Gesang couldn't understand. Traitors and lackeys are the least favored existences, and when Gesang gritted his teeth hatefully at that person, it is estimated that the clansman he guessed betrayed the goshawk tribe was a dog that led the way in the eyes of the fire demon people.
The moment the Goshawk Tribe and the Boulder Ruins are found, whether the dog is dead or alive will not affect the Fire Demon Man.
This is the true portrayal of the heart of the big man.
But for Lytton, the threat of this 'brute' is real, the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, but if this guy dies. Even if the Fire Demon knew the way back, they were in danger of being wiped out in the wilderness hinterland. This is not alarmist, but a real possibility.
Whether it is the Wild Bull Tribe, or the Goshawk Tribe, or even other tribes scattered around.
As an indigenous people, external rejection and even hatred are widespread. For Lytton, he has a strategic man and countless powerful allies, rather than a few warriors from the Bull tribe fighting against the Red Devils.
Secondly, as an aborigine, the understanding of the surrounding terrain and environment is also an incomparable disadvantage for the Fire Demon people. The geographical advantage will always be on Lyton's side, and any place where he can sneak attack and engage will be clear in his mind. And the fire demon didn't know anything.
Finally, the time of day.
Tianshi is more subtle to say, but it is easy to explain, when it is beneficial to you, you will do a vote. It's as simple as that, it's as straightforward as that. At least as indigenous peoples, they are well aware of the microclimate around them.
With the advantage of the right time, place and people, if Litton has no way to leave all the fire demons in this mountain forest, it can only be his problem, he can't blame others for being too smart, he can only be too stupid.
And a normal person......
Saying anything wouldn't admit that he's a fool, is he?
Rest for the night.
The next day, the weather was acceptable, and when the fog in the forest cleared, Litton and the others began to enter the forest in full armor.
If there is no road, they climb mountains and jump streams, cut down trees to open the way. The only thing to pay attention to is the direction. Fortunately, this is the easiest thing to identify in the forest, you can't see the sun, you can't see the stars, it doesn't matter, you can identify it as long as you cut down a tree, there are many similar methods, even Gesang is an expert in this area, but Litton is very unfamiliar with it. But it doesn't matter, he won't, someone will. The natives are also trapped by the mountains and forests they have lived in all their lives, and they are embarrassed to go out to meet people.
It's just that in the dense forest, the vines and shrubs are dense, and they have to be cut with swords to pass. This caused a great loss of physical strength to Lei Ju and Meng, who opened the way, but fortunately, this guy is known as the first big man in the tribe, and his physical strength is also first-class and strong.
Bang Chang ......
Another metal sword snapped in Lei Ju's hand.
This is already the second handful.
The brute bulls are all poor and scared, and the second broken sword in Lei Ju's hand hesitated for a moment and handed it to the rock. The latter carries a basket on his back and can put away the short sword. Wait to see if the situation can be poured a new sword. Aoki couldn't see it, and directly snatched Lei Ju's position, scolding and chattering: "Lei Ju, you are a loser, the gold and silver mountains are not enough for you to build!" ”
Lei Ju was speechless, but if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't seem to say it.
Aoki is to keep his own sword, Lei Ju and Meng's swords are broken when they break, these two guys don't like to use light weapons, but Aoki is different, he has a flexible body and swordsmanship...... Well, there is no swordsmanship at all. But this does not prevent him from wanting to have a good weapon, a good weapon that can be used.
Besides, swordsmanship is to put it bluntly, that is, the method of killing, for the warriors of the bull, is there any difference between killing people and killing beasts?
Not really. The only difference is that hunting is their job, hunting wild beasts they often do. As for killing, I'm afraid there really isn't much chance of it. But this is not to say that without war, the hands of tribal warriors would not be stained with human blood, this is a misunderstanding.
The team was still marching, and even Lei Ju was a little out of breath after half a day of opening the road. Gesang and Li Zao were so tired that they didn't even want to speak.
Seeing this, Wu said, "Do you want everyone to rest first." ”
"No, you have to get to the edge of the forest before sunset in the afternoon, or you'll be in trouble." What Lytton said was true, walking at night in a densely vegetated forest may have been a night's journey, not only did not shorten the distance to the destination, but it may even get farther and farther. This is definitely not alarmist.
"Uncle, it doesn't matter, we're fine."
Lei Ju shouted, "Everyone, hurry up, arrive at the outskirts of the camp at Paektu Mountain before dusk." ”
Whether or not they understood Lytton's thoughts, the warriors of the Brute chose to be patient. This is one of the most basic conditions for a warrior to grow into a warrior. If you can't endure what ordinary people can't, you will certainly not be a good soldier. Lytton would not tell the soldiers what was in his heart, even if the warriors of the tribe were brothers to him now, somewhat related.
But Wu didn't understand, so he asked, "The south slope and the north slope can reach the camp of Paektu Mountain, why did you choose the north slope?" When Wu asked, Gesang, who was close to him, also pricked up his ears and listened.
Lei Hu blinked his eyes, and said with a thought cleverness: "Chief, we know that it is passed from the forest, and the road is close. "The ears of this thing are particularly pointed, just like Li Zao's nose, as if they have been strengthened. But while God helped him, he also made him lose some, such as brains......
Lei Juyi's head was speechless, his expression was boring, and he firmly believed in a fact even more in his heart. Although Lei Hu is said to be a brother of a sibling, his father is definitely not a person.
"Walking through the forest is not easier than walking through the prairie. The northern slope of Mt. Paektu is a grassland, and the southern slope is a forest. It stands to reason that the camp of the goshawk tribe is more vigilant on the southern slope than on the northern slope. Coupled with the dense vegetation of the forest, the road is extremely difficult to walk. So I guess that the people of Mt. Paektu will use the southern slope as a natural barrier, and the camp guard will only focus on the movement of the northern slope. ”
"In addition, only one person needs to stand on a high place on the north slope, so you can have an unobstructed view, it is easy to guard the outside, and the concealment of the camp is good, relatively speaking, the defense of the entire Baektu Mountain is basically very lax."
In a few words, Litton explained the vigilance of the camp at Mt. Paektu thoroughly, and broke the lax vigilance of the goshawk tribe. It sent chills down his back.
Fortunately, the Manniu tribe has always ignored the goshawk tribe, and has no intention of conquering this tribe on the side, so that the goshawk tribe can be retained.
Litton paused, and the reporter said: "Although it is easy to march on the north slope, it is also easy to be discovered, and it is not easy to approach by stealth. In addition, it is a long distance from the camp of the goshawk tribe, which is inconvenient for surprise operations. So, the south slope was our only option. ”
In the afternoon, at least an hour or so earlier than scheduled, Lytton and the others appeared on the edge of the forest, standing on the tall branches, and the camp of Paektu Mountain loomed.
"Gesang, tell me about the terrain around us, we need to go around to the right side of the camp......"
Gesang thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be better to attack directly?" ”
"No, we only have one chance, and we must kill with one blow. And now we are in the position of a feint ...... "Lytton, even if he is not a military expert, at least understands one truth, climbing a mountain is the most tiring thing, let alone launching an attack. The fire demon is condescending, and under the impact, coupled with potential energy, can even close in the battle of individual soldiers, and even fill the gap between each other's individual strength.
You have to attack in parallel, or attack from a high position, to hit with one hit.
The two slipped down from the trunk of the tree, and then Aoki and Lei Ju also returned, bringing back an expected news: "There is indeed a barbarian traitor, it should be someone from the Goshawk Tribe, and that person is the one who took the fire demon man to the camp of Baektu Mountain." The guy seemed to be isolated, though...... The Fire Demon did not want to see him, as the leader said, the spy was the most despicable kind of person, even the master; Of course, the mood of the goshawk tribesmen is very different, they are full of hatred and anger, and they can't wait to eat each other raw. ”
After saying that, Aoki laughed gloatingly, anyway, it was the Goshawk tribe that died, and it was the Goshawk tribe that was ashamed, and there was no need for him, a warrior of the Barbarian Bull Tribe, to pretend to cry with a sad face.
"He's dead and he's going to be the undead!"
This is the curse of the savages, the curse of the greatest hostility to the living. After hearing the results of Aoki's investigation, Gesang's whole body trembled with anger, obviously he already knew the identity of that person.
There was sadness on Gesang's face, but more anger on his face. Lytton's problem was clear to him, it was the antipathy of the sneak attack, and after the sneak attack was launched, the man ...... Should die!
No, absolutely dead.
Gesang kept his face calm, tried to suppress the tsunami-like emotions in his heart, and said, "There is a way, but it will have to wait until after dark." ”
As long as you can get close to the attack position, everything is not a problem. Only then did Lytton feel relieved and ordered: "Rest in place, pay attention to concealment, and wait until it gets dark." ”
