Chapter 23: The Trap

After deciding on the style, Ellie asked, "My lord, do you have any requirements regarding the color scheme of uniforms, uniforms, and flags?" ”

Meng Chen thought for a moment and replied: "The main color of the military uniform and flag, choose light blue, and the auxiliary color is up to you to design and match." As for the color scheme of the uniform, it's all up to you. Some are made in various colors and are distributed according to different occupations and genders. ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Ellie bowed.

After Ellie left, Meng Chen muttered, "I can finally get rid of this dirty and white linen clothes!" ”

After breakfast, Meng Chen led 3 swordsman instructors, 3 archer instructors, 30 swordsmen and 30 archers to form a large hunting team and march towards the east side of the river.

After crossing the river, Meng Chen divided the hunting team into three hunting teams.

Each hunting squad consists of 1 swordsman instructor, 1 marksman instructor, 10 swordsmen, and 10 marksmen.

Meng Chen ordered two of the squads to hunt freely on the east side of the river, but they were not allowed to enter the territory of the four-horned monster bull and the vajra orangutan.

As for Meng Chen, he led the remaining hunting team and advanced towards the territory of the four-horned monster bull in the south.

The territory of the four-horned monster cow is located in a wetland covering an area of about ten square kilometers.

This wetland is rich in aquatic grass and animal populations, making it a perfect hunting ground.

Three days ago, Meng Chen had led a team to this wetland to hunt a huge crocodile nearly eight meters long.

The battle that day was quite thrilling, causing Meng Chen to lose two swordsmen.

If it weren't for Meng Chen's plan to lure the giant crocodile out of the wetland, the loss at that time would definitely be even greater.

After hunting the huge crocodile, Meng Chen made a simple reconnaissance of the overlord of the wetland, the four-horned monster cowherd.

There are a total of eighteen four-horned monster cows in this herd, of which thirteen adult four-horned monster cows meet the criteria of medium threat creatures, and the other five juvenile four-horned monster cows are only low threat creatures.

According to Meng Chen's observations, the four-horned monster cow's usual temper is still quite gentle.

But once provoked, the four-horned monster bull will burst into a strong will to fight, vowing to trample the enemy into a pulp, otherwise it will not give up.

At the same time, the four-horned monster cow likes to live in groups, and it is rare to be alone.

Before, the four-horned monster cow that Meng Chen hunted was just an aging four-horned monster cow.

This four-horned monster cow was supposed to be a member of the wetland population, but for some reason it left the herd independently, or because it was too old to be driven away by other population members.

If you want to deal with this group of four-horned monster cows, you definitely can't be tough and tough.

Eighteen four-horned monster bulls charged collectively, even if Meng Chen's total strength was doubled, he still couldn't bear it.

Therefore, Meng Chen can only come to Yin!

At the edge of the wetland, Meng Chen chose a relatively solid ground, and then through the light curtain in his mind, he gave the order to build a wooden thorn trap.

"-1 gold, -1 wood, start building a Wood Thorn Trap (Tier 1)!" Half an hour later, the construction was complete! ”

A piece of wood appears silently, then cuts itself into sharp wooden spikes one meter long, and then sinks into a three-meter-square pit, and finally covers it with weeds and leaves to form a hidden wooden thorn trap.

Note: There are three types of traps that can be built in first-order towns, including Wooden Thorn Trap, Falling Stone Trap, and Iron Drill Trap.

Due to the limitations of the building list, at most two traps could be built at the same time, and Meng Chen could only stay by the side all the time, while the hunting team kept watch around.

Until evening, Meng Chen had built a total of twenty-four wooden thorn traps.

Seeing that it was getting late, Meng Chen muttered, "Twenty-four more wooden thorn traps will be built tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will start the official action!" ”

Subsequently, Meng Chen led the hunting team back to the city.

Although Meng Chen's hunting team did not have any harvest today, the other three hunting teams hunted a large number of small and medium-sized animals, harvesting a total of about 2,000 units of grain.

After returning to the city, Meng Chen gave instructions to build a plantation.

"-20 gold, -50 wood, start building a plantation (tier 1)! After 6 hours, the construction was complete! ”

Due to the shortage of gold coins, Meng Chen did not plan to expand his army during this time.

In the coming period, Meng Chen plans to continue to expand the plantation and farmer team.

The town hall automatically generates 40 gold coins per day, of which 10 gold coins are used to summon 10 civilians, 10 gold coins are used to train civilians as farmers, and the remaining 20 gold coins are used to build a plantation.

At the current rate of lumberjacks, it takes only two days to cut down a vacant lot for the construction of a plantation.

When there was no vacant land, Meng Chen would choose to train civilians as lumberjacks, quarrymen, or coachmen, and the remaining gold coins would be used to build houses.

However, at this time, the metal resources were almost exhausted, and Meng Chen planned to deal with the four-horned monster cow and immediately began to explore the surrounding mountains.

If he couldn't find the metal ore in the basin, Meng Chen could only return to the mine to make some emergencies, or buy metal resources through the black-hearted trading market.

The next day, Meng Chen continued to lead a hunting team to build twenty-four wooden thorn traps again near yesterday's trap.

On the third day, after making all preparations, Meng Chen led three hunting teams to the ambush site.

Ordering the rest of the soldiers to hide in the woods around the trap, Meng Chen personally led two swordsman instructors, two marksman instructors, and five archers to lure the four-horned monster herd.

At this time, the four-horned monster cow herd was about a kilometer away from the trap, leisurely gnawing on the fat aquatic plants.

Meng Chen and the others quietly came to a place about four hundred meters away from the four-horned monster cowherd.

Subsequently, Meng Chen ordered an archer to shoot arrows at the four-horned monster cow herd continuously after approaching the four-horned monster cow herd for two hundred meters, attracting the four-horned monster cow herd.

When the archer followed Meng Chen's order and shot at the four-horned monster cow herd from two hundred meters away, Meng Chen left one archer in place and let him relay to attract the four-horned monster cow, while he led the rest of the people to run in the direction of the trap.

Every two hundred meters or so, Meng Chen would leave a shooter behind and order him to continue to attract the hatred of the four-horned monster herd.

That's right, these five shooters are bait, and Meng Chen is ready to sacrifice them!

This can't be blamed on Meng Chen's ruthlessness, if there is another way, Meng Chen doesn't want to do it.

You must know that in the muddy wetland, ordinary people can't outrun the four-horned monster cow, and Meng Chen didn't dare to take the risk himself.

Moo~! Moo~! Moo......

In the distance, there was a low chirping of the four-horned monster bulls, and the five archers meticulously carried out Meng Chen's orders, shooting at the four-horned monster bulls within the range.

Of course, the fate of these five shooters was very miserable.

What are the consequences of being rammed and trampled on by a herd of four-horned monsters weighing two or three tons?

It's nice to be able to pick up a whole corpse!

However, the sacrifice of the five archers was not in vain, and the four-horned monster cow was lured to the edge of the wetland, less than 100 meters away from the first wooden thorn trap.
