The battle plan is simple, find the enemy and attack head-on.

After resting for less than five hours, Wu Hao got up from his bed, and with the remaining six scouts of Marlan's main team, as well as the other six thieves, formed a 13-man outpost force, set off in the early morning when the sky was still bright, and headed straight for the northeast mountain forest area.

The village that Wu Hao discovered yesterday was due north of the direction where the squadron was located.

The distance is more than 40 km.

The search will be carried out in this direction, and it has also been carefully considered, the four scouts who did not return yesterday explored the direction in the northeast, due east, and southeast, but it does not necessarily mean that there are enemies in three directions, and the enemy on the battlefield will not stay in one place stupidly and do not move, and the meaning of expecting the enemy first is to grasp the initiative, not to eat dust behind the ass of the enemy who has not yet been discovered.

With a clear goal, the march is undoubtedly a lot faster.

In just three hours, the outpost arrived at the village that had been detected yesterday, and after some careful inspection and screening, the number of suspected defectors who had attacked the village was determined, about 30-40 people, and after destroying the population settlement, the attackers left somewhere in the north-east direction.

"Divide into three teams and search progressively." Anthony, who led the team, ordered.

War is not a heads-up between the main generals in the romance novels of the previous life, the victory or defeat of a battle depends on the level of a certain person's rank, but a comprehensive comparison of all aspects of collective strength, although Wu Hao has a strength far beyond his peers, and he is also an outstanding and valuable talent in the kingdom of Lordaeron, but he still can't hide his lack of experience as a recruit.

So this time the temporary commander of the outpost, Marlan appointed Anthony to the post.

Wu Hao has no objection to this.

Marlan is indeed a battle maniac, but she is not a blind and arrogant idiot, her trust and intimacy with Wu Hao does not mean that she will let a novice command the sharp knife troops so childishly, in fact, after making the battle plan last night, the reserve plan that Marlan added was about the arrangement of Wu Hao.

"I've been underestimated!" Wu Hao thought of Marlan's words not long ago, and still felt a little uncomfortable.

Marlan wanted Wu Hao to evacuate first.

Cadets who have not really graduated, temporarily joined a combat unit, and were appointed as squad leaders without a single actual combat experience, Wu Hao, who has been arranged in the rear of the security industry, must have a deep background in the eyes of everyone, or be a talent valued by the above, which Marlan naturally knows very well.

In particular, Wu Hao is just a civilian.

The social hierarchical oppression in this world is very harsh, Wu Hao already has a certain understanding of these things, but the depth of understanding is still far from enough, Marlan either got a private order from Colonel Fillingcent, or he saw some clues, in short, when he may be at war with the enemy at the moment, Wu Hao's willingness to leave first is very resolute.

It takes a courier of sufficient weight to contact the nearest brigade for reinforcements to be taken seriously.

This is Marland's reason.

In order to appear more sincere, Marlan also took great pains to write a letter asking for help, and even prepared to let this outpost force be divided into half to escort Wu Hao, the messenger, to set off.

I'm here to experience war, but I don't want to mix military exploits.

Although at the moment, she who brought Madeleine to the army does look like a gentleman.

"If you're not serious, you can't do it!" Wu Hao took the initiative to ask to join the outpost force.

Colonel Fillingcent's order was that Marlan led the team to assist him, so Wu Hao insisted on staying, and Marlan had no way, not even forcibly preventing Wu Hao's freedom of movement, and when she set off with the outpost troops, she was very worried in private, telling Wu Hao to be careful and safe, and to evacuate quickly if the situation was not right, and not to be impulsive and impulsive.

As soon as Anthony gave the order, the outpost sprang into action.

The 12 people except Wu Hao were divided into three groups, each group had four members, and two hunters were appointed as team leaders, leaving a thief in the ruins of the village to wait for the large army behind, Anthony glanced at Wu Hao, and left with two soldiers on horseback in the predetermined direction.

Marlan couldn't even order herself, let alone Anthony, the temporary commander.

Wu Hao watched the three groups of people go away.

The thieves who stayed ignored Wu Hao and disappeared into a stealth state, but this thief was only a low-level 2, and under the perception of Wu Hao, who was a high-level 7 strength, it was easy to find that the other party walked to the corner of a semi-collapsed ruin and stopped without moving, perhaps because he was ready to hide it all the time.

Waited a few minutes.

"It's pretty much it." Wu Hao moved his limbs a few times, took off the half-body plate armor he was wearing, stuck the two-handed sword on his back nearly 1.5 meters on the ground, changed into dark gray tight-fitting leather armor, and checked the more than ten daggers of different lengths on his belt, as well as the poison bottle containing the blue-green turbid liquid in the backpack: "It's time for me to perform." ”

Instantly entering a stealth state, Wu Hao ran in the direction where the right-wing group of four left.

The stealth skill of thieves in another world is not as simple as in the game.

Permanent stealth is the essence of the thief profession, which is the same in the reality of the game, but the stealth skills in reality are too complex in difficulty compared to the game, not only to maintain a certain exquisite aura balance, but also to maintain a high degree of mental concentration for a long time, violent mood swings, distraction, frightened and disturbed, into areas with large differences in light... and so on, which will allow the thief to break away from the stealth state.

Even good old thieves will inevitably make mistakes.

And in reality, stealth, in the face of a large gap in strength, strong passive perception ability, detailed observation of the enemy, it is also easy to find traces of the existence of thieves, which is why hunters have innate restraint on thieves, hunters who rely on their eyes to eat are engrossed in distinguishing the trajectory of stealth movement is not too difficult.

In reality, the biggest advantage of stealth over games is that you will not actively get out of stealth when you attack.

Some of the legendary thieves can use the stealth skills to the extreme, and no action or attack will break the stealth state, no matter how many of their enemies there are, they are completely slaughtered unilaterally by the thieves, and they die one by one without even touching the shadow, so they can only blindly attack indiscriminately to delay time, or cover the attack in a large area to try their luck and try to beat the thieves out of the stealth.

Supposedly killing Ryan? Garona, the legendary thief of Urien, is such a terrible thief.

In a sense, he can be regarded as a thief god.

At present, Wu Hao, who is a high-level 7 thief, of course, does not have this kind of supernatural ability, but perhaps it is the particularity of the traverser itself, the experience of loving thieves in the game for more than ten years in his previous life, so that his superb proficiency in the skills of a thief professional is no less than that of many top-level thieves.

In just over twenty minutes, Wu Hao caught up with the group of four in front.

The main direction of the thief's stealth profession is to sneak attack and ambush the enemy, not a professional known for its endurance, each of the three 'talent' skills of the thief's three 'talent' is very physically demanding, and the vast majority of thieves rely on mounts and vehicles to rush away, and it is not a big problem to move at high speed in a short time, and it will soon be unable to hold on for a long time.

But Wu Hao has no weakness in this regard.

Wu Hao, who has the abilities of four professions at the same time, keeps running at high speed in a stealthy state with two minds, and his speed is much faster than the four-person group that needs to move forward cautiously, and after catching up, he steadily followed the four war horses for nearly two hours, and the two hunters and two thieves in the four-person group were not aware of his existence.

"Huh? In this direction..."Wu Hao, who was running, noticed the change in the direction of the four-person group.

The three groups of four who were advancing separately left at an angle of more than 30 degrees when they set off from the ruins of the village, and it was clear that Anthony did not make specific arrangements when he gave the order, but the group of four in front of Wu Hao still used a fixed route and direction, and after moving forward to a certain distance, they rushed diagonally to the inner direction.

It's like having been rehearsed many times beforehand.

"No wonder Marlan will let Anthony lead the team, and Anthony will let the two scouts be the leader of the four-person team, and those thieves have no objections, it should have been very tacit in the past." Wu Hao thought secretly, continued to follow the team of four, and soon arrived at a hidden place in the dense forest.

The other two groups of 7 people have been waiting here for a long time.

"How?" Seeing the right-wing group coming, Andy nodded his hair and asked, "Did you find any traces?" ”

The four-person group led by Wu Hao shook his head.

"Take a break." Anthony waved his hand: "Set off in half an hour, it's still the same." ”

The thieves and hunters immediately dispersed to rest, took out dried meat and water to eat, two hunters took out a few handfuls of green round beans to feed the war horses, and one thief marked the trees side by side with a dagger, and each of the 11 veterans was busy with his own business, showing a very skilled and professional appearance.

Quietly lurking nearby, Wu Hao carefully observed and studied.

When the rest was over, Anthony ordered one of his thieves to stay, and the remaining 10 soldiers were still divided into three groups, and continued to disperse along the established route, each time running for a while, he gathered to rest and leave a mark, and arranged for one person to wait for the large force behind.

Stop-and-go four times, the outpost has probed nearly 100 kilometers in depth.

It took more than ten hours.

After assembling and resting again, only 6 people were left to move forward again, Wu Hao still followed the right flank, and now there was only one hunter and one thief left near the group, and after about seven or eight kilometers in the dense forest ahead, a faint noise appeared in the deep mountains and old forests in the evening.

"Found it!" Wu Hao, who was sweating and panting, was in high spirits.
