Chapter 397, the gap in strength
Under the dark night, only the fire burning in the tribal camp brought some light to the dark world, but at the same time, it also made the tribal camp a living target in the night
Figures quickly swept through the trees, and the hyena queen who almost poured out of the nest was obviously extremely confident in the strength of her tribe, and had no intention of playing with them at all.
As soon as he came up, he directly surrounded the entire camp, and then rushed up, and the simple and rude approach was completely like wanting to kill.
But it is estimated that no one would have thought that the hyena queen's sworn pounce would be directly pounced
"Bang"
The irritable mood caused the hyena queen to kick a fire in the camp, and then looked at the empty camp, the hyena queen couldn't help but feel worse, "I actually ran away and scattered for me to find that there should be footprints left around here."
The hyenas, who were as silent as cicadas, scattered after hearing the queen's order, searching for footprints around the camp.
At the same time, on the other side, looking at the unusually lively tribal camp below, Zhou Yi and Li Ke couldn't help but quickly exchange glances, and then looked back at Jie Zichuan standing behind them at the same time.
"This time, I was saved by your instinct again." Regarding Jie Zichuan's intuition, Zhou Yi was undoubtedly completely convinced, "I didn't expect that the number of hyena people in this place is so much, probably visually, there should be two or three hundred"
Zhou Yi's tone was a little uncertain, after all, it was night, and the light was dim, even if there was a fire illuminating the camp, he couldn't see it very clearly.
And Jie Zichuan, who heard this, also hurriedly said two words of modesty, saying that he was ashamed, his intuition does not work every time, and there are often situations where he encounters crises and has no intuition but does not react, this time it worked twice in a row, it can only be said that he is lucky, but in Jie Zichuan's own opinion, he is not capable.
Exhaled a long breath and adjusted his mood, Zhou Yi spoke up again, "Let's hurry up, although when we evacuated, in order to confuse those hyena people, they left a lot of footprints, but their noses are also very smart, and it is estimated that they can't hold them for too long." ”
The group quickly left, and according to Rick, even some orcs with a keen sense of smell had a nose that was not omnipotent, because the breath that remained in one place quickly dissipated.
Zhou Yi undoubtedly took advantage of this when he evacuated, and with the footprints deliberately left, it is estimated that he can play those hyenas for a long time
After leaving, Zhou Yi and the others all moved to Jie Zichuan's original tribe, which had long been washed by the blood of those hyena people, looking at the large area of dried blood on the ground, Jie Zichuan's face inevitably showed a little sadness.
After taking a deep breath, Jie Zichuan, who had regained his spirits, said to Zhou Yi and them, "The location of this camp is quite far from the original camp, plus the footprints and breath along the road have also been dealt with, it stands to reason that those hyena people should not be able to find them so quickly, but just in case, it is better not to light the fire." ”
Zhou Yi undoubtedly agrees with this, although the dark environment is really not friendly to them humans without igniting a fire, but after all, safety must be taken into account.
In the middle of the night, after such a toss, everyone obviously didn't feel much sleep, called Li Ke and Jie Zichuan, and Zhou Yi randomly found a tent to discuss the future plan.
However, the atmosphere is subtle and a little weird, and the reason for this is obviously because of Li Ke's green eyes that glow green in the dark
Well, they also know that this is not something that Rick can control himself, but it always feels a little scary to be blinded by the black light and two green eyes just staring at them.
Li Ke himself seemed to be aware of this, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he simply cut straight to the topic, "If the number of hyenas is only two or three hundred, then our chances of winning are actually very large." ”
"This time, you brought two hundred troops over, right" Zhou Yi, who heard this, asked calmly.
"That's right." Rick nodded.
The individual combat effectiveness of orc soldiers, after all, is different from human soldiers, two hundred werewolf warriors are basically comparable to five hundred human soldiers, not to mention their expedition, Luo Ji also changed them into a decent sword and shield soldier equipment, and their strength is estimated to be stronger.
It's true that this force is not weak, but the problem is that the number of hyenas is more than the number of werewolves on this expedition.
After pondering in Zhou Yi's heart for a while, the calm voice sounded again, "Our advantage in weapons and equipment is still there, plus the support of fifty crossbowmen, if we really fight, the chances of winning should still be very good."
Hearing this, Li Ke nodded subconsciously, obviously, it also thought so, in the absence of weapons and equipment, in the face of hyenas who far exceeded them, it was naturally too unwise to fight with the other party, but now they have an advantage
Who knows, in the next second, Zhou Yi's words suddenly turned, "But don't forget, Your Majesty's purpose in ordering us to go on this expedition this time is to absorb the barbarians in the mountains and forests of the Northland, so as to expand the strength of our civilization in the Ten Thousand Worlds."
Hearing this, Li Ke's face changed slightly, there was no doubt that he already knew what Zhou Yi wanted to say, and what Zhou Yi said next was indeed basically the same as what he thought.
I only heard Zhou Yi continue to say, "Against that number of hyenas, we can indeed win by relying on the advantage of weapons and equipment, but the point is that the casualties Before absorbing the barbarians and expanding the troops, we ourselves lost a large number of troops, so wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse."
Li Ke couldn't refute it at all, because what Zhou Yi said was right, against such a large group of hyena people, even if they were equipped, Li Ke couldn't say that they could easily defeat each other one hundred percent, and casualties were inevitable.
"So what do you say to do?"
Facing this problem, Zhou Yi thought about it for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Focusing on circulation, our troops are divided into two routes, your werewolf army is responsible for dealing with the hyena people, and I am responsible for taking Jie Zichuan and the rest of the people to absorb those barbarians."
"At the same time, send a few more messengers back to convey the message, inform Your Majesty of the situation here, and let Your Majesty send troops to meet us, and when the time comes, everything will be fine."
"So, it's all about how to get around." Li Ke's words went straight to the point, "The number of hyenas exceeds my werewolf troops, and if you are not careful, you may have greater casualties than a direct fight." ”
"That's a real problem."
Zhou Yi nodded, and just as he was thinking about what means to use to deal with the hyena man, Jie Zichuan, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, raised his hand
"How about setting a trap"
