Chapter 42: The Wolf Camp (3)
Betty is an extremely plump woman, and at the age of forty, she already has signs of fat on her waist and hips, which is a relatively advanced age for a mercenary, especially as a female mercenary.
Her dead husband is the former head of the mercenary group, and Betty has had more than ten years of ups and downs after taking over, because of her bold personality and good popularity in the circle.
The map was only two feet square, and it was only visible to a few people in the inner circle when it was spread out on the ground, but the female leader didn't mind huddling with the mercenaries at all, saying her opinions loudly.
"Burn those camps, the jackals shouldn't have the heart to re-pitch their tents at night, right? It just so happened that there were so many camps left by the Grecian army that they would naturally be separated if they lived in them, and the camp was so large that it would be difficult to assemble them. ”
The camp set up by the army of Gresia was indeed very large, and there were even a few small hills in it, and if the jackals could be divided, the enemy's numerical superiority would be broken.
Mu Kai nodded, and continued: "Dividing is one purpose, and the other purpose is to keep those jackals from resting all night, of course, it would be better if a few could be burned to death." ”
"You need a lot of oil, right? We didn't bring much, we ran out. ”
The young regiment commander was a little impatient again.
"Oh! It turns out that you have a plan. ”
Quinn suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "I'll just say, what are you letting the caravan do with so much oil." ”
"So, the oil is not a problem, but the cost still has to be calculated in the end."
Fire oil is not a valuable thing, Mu Kai solemnly offered to share the cost equally, and everyone just smiled knowingly.
"The second step is to attack head-on, so many jackal soldiers, a tough battle still has to be fought."
After a pause, he continued: "The early morning attack was launched, and the jackal soldiers were tossed all night, and at that time they had just fallen asleep and the sky was beginning to lighten, so the early morning attack was most beneficial to us. The attack was carried out in two ways at the same time, so that the jackals could not take care of each other, but also bought a little more time, before the jackals were assembled, try to consume their vital strength, as long as their numbers were reduced, the rest was not a problem. ”
"The idea is very good, I have no opinion, so I just did it."
The captain of the Black Lion Mercenary Regiment, who had not spoken, was the first to agree.
"It's very feasible, and it's worth a try."
"Agreed."
This battle plan was unanimously approved by the mercenaries, the grand strategy was decided, and there were more details that needed to be improved, who was responsible for the sneak attack, how to arrange the time of the sneak attack, how to share the risks, how to distribute the benefits, all of which had to be finalized in advance.
In fact, it is for the sake of their own interests, or persistence, or compromise, and finally reach an agreement.
Mu Kai didn't participate in the latter nonsense, he simply ate a little food, and then found a random place near the camp and began to practice magic.
What is inconvenient to do in the hotel, there are no scruples in the wild, there is no need to worry about accidental losses caused by the loss of control of the spell, a big stone, or a big tree, can be used as a target for attack, and how big the field is, it is not a problem to test the range limit of the magic at all, if you can encounter a huge spider or an eye monster or something, you can also fight it.
I don't know when Cardina also came, and began to practice the qi gathering skill not far from him, and the female orc has never slackened, she rarely goes to the tavern to drink now, and almost all of her time is spent on cultivation, and she is sprinting to the advanced profession with all her might.
Neither of them spoke, concentrating on completing their respective cultivations, and then returning to the camp to rest at different times according to their respective conditions.
In the early hours of the next morning, it was dawning, and the mercenaries had arrived at the jackal camp.
The night's sneak attack went well, and although there were no casualties among the jackals, they did not close their eyes either, and the gathered jackals were separated into several different camps as planned.
The mercenaries were lying in ambush on the northern slope of the camp, near Lake Pamir, at the rear of the camp, where the jackal officers were mostly concentrated, and the mercenaries from the village of Gurudin were ready to attack from the southwest.
As for the adventurers, Gogo communicated with them last night that after the battle began, they would attack through the camp gates, and the Jackals were the weakest in that direction.
As for whether the adventurers will abide by the agreement, no one can guarantee it, and the worst-case scenario is that they will watch the excitement first, and wait for the mercenaries to defeat the jackals, and then run over to pick up some bargains.
If it really gets to that point, the mercenaries are not so easy to talk to.
As Mu Kai's hurricane technique roared out, the battle to exterminate the jackal soldiers officially began.
Regardless of the time of day, the first side always has the upper hand.
The experienced mercenaries did not rush into the tent to kill people at first, but briskly cut the rope holding the tent, so that the thick cowhide tent collapsed, covered all the jackal soldiers sleeping inside, and then stabbed the struggling jackal soldiers to death one by one through the tent.
Jackals are born a race suited to battle, and when they encounter danger, they will react instinctively, and after only cutting down a few tents, a large number of jackal soldiers have already howled and rushed over, including many jackal officers.
There were about 300 wolf soldiers in this camp, which was the largest in the camp, and there were many powerful officers among them, but they still couldn't stop the mercenaries from charging.
Mu Kai's requirement is to burst out with the most powerful lethality in the shortest possible time, so the mercenaries all use soul bullets, and they do not hesitate to consume fighting energy to continuously use skills to attack.
As a striker, they are all strong professionals like Grizzly Bear and Cardina, and even if the Gnoll Man is brave, if he does not have a huge numerical advantage, he is vulnerable in front of powerful professionals.
Mercenaries set fire to several tents, and flames and smoke rushed into the sky, signaling friendly forces from the other two directions to launch a general attack.
It didn't take long for a thick cloud of smoke to rise from the southwest, and apparently, there was also a fight there, only in the direction of the camp gate there was no movement.
"Phew, those guys can't be trusted."
Although it had been expected, Goth still had a sense of betrayal and anger.
The captain of the black lion was very close to him, and when he heard it, he reminded loudly: "Don't worry about anything, kill the enemy with all your heart!" ”
"!"
Because of the distraction, Goth was slashed in the back.
He spun his body sharply, his left sword severing the arm of the jackal soldier who had attacked him, and his right hand sword severing the throat of the jackal.
After becoming a fighter, Goth also chose to use dual knives, which was much stronger than before, but in such a melee, the fighter who used the spear was more lethal.
Dolma and Charles used spears, and there were many of them in the team who used spears, and a dozen spears were wielded, and the jackals were shattered before they could get close, and they rushed there, leaving a corpse there.
