The main battle with the Fishmen has ended, and the captured island has now been incorporated into the plate of the City of Heroes of Duqian. However, until this Holy Light Outpost is really established, it is still fragile, and any slightly stronger force will cause this place to suffer a heavy blow, or even a catastrophe.
There are therefore two tasks at hand. First, destroy the Fish-Man's non-combat units and destroy the Fish-Man's lair left on it. Second, it is necessary to quickly establish a line of defense sufficient against foreign enemies.
The second thing is that you can't rush it, if you want to really protect the Holy Light Strait, it's not enough to rely on their manpower, at least you have to wait for the small warships to be put into use, these hero cities are already being built at an accelerated pace, so the goal at this moment is very clear.
In the previous battle, he drove a fishing boat with a fishing net from the sea to drive the fish-man to the island without any casualties, but later due to the accidental appearance of the two fish-man sacrifices, the dire wolf was killed and injured one. Sixty sentinels, sixty hunters, and seventeen dire wolves and nine-headed wolves were now gathered here.
"Six sentinels, six hunters and two wolves are freely combined in a group, the remaining six wolves hunt freely, two groups of personnel stay to set up camp, and the rest are all scattered to find the fish-man lair, and once they are found and send out signal flares, they will be destroyed immediately!" After Du Qian arranged the battle plan, he subconsciously glanced at the dire wolf who was injured by the water arrow sacrificed by the fishman.
During the battle, three dire wolves fought side by side, and in the end, because they were slow, two partners were killed, and he was also injured later, and this dire wolf felt far more deeply than other wolves. Seeing his comrades torn apart in front of his eyes but unable to save them, he had to stop charging and was injured because he was attacked, and he was completely enraged by the fish-man sacrifice by his vicious nature. Later, it had to be suppressed because the chief of the guard took over the battle, and when the chief of the guard approached the fish-man sacrifice, it was ready to rush out at any moment, and the moment the fish-man began to break up, it was the first to rush towards the escaping fish-man like an arrow off the string.
After a battle, the blood of countless fishmen on the hair of this dire wolf has glued its hair together one by one, because the relationship between the blood is dyed with a layer of blood red, opening its big mouth and leaking sharp fangs gasping slightly, and the original red eyes are revealing a strange scarlet at this time, which makes people shudder.
Seeing the appearance of this dire wolf, Du Qian smiled slightly and stretched out his left hand to point at it. "This dire wolf is free!"
The order was over, and soon the group was divided, and the eight search teams were divided into three parts, two groups searched straight ahead, and three groups of members on the left and right. The other two teams began to cut trees nearby, set up tents and campfires, etc., and six dire wolves roamed the planned camp kilometers away, cooperating with several hunters to carry out the task of guarding unknown dangers.
When the battle was about to begin, it was already close to evening, and after a period of fighting, it was now getting dark, and the search team had not gone far enough to mark up and rush back to the makeshift camp.
"Hasn't that dire wolf come back yet?" Du Qian's face was red by the light of the bonfire, and his roasted face was a little hot.
The chief guard shook his head. "No, there's no news of it yet."
"You go and take a rest, just leave tonight's vigilance to the guards, after all, the fish-man has been entrenched for so long before, there won't be any big danger, the vigilance is just to prevent some beasts and the like from accidentally breaking in." Du Qian sat by the bonfire, fiddling with the branches in his hands.
Occasionally, the campfire would make a crackling sound and splash a few sparks against the piece of flesh on it. The head guard grabbed the branch and took off the barbecue on the bonfire, gently tore off a strand of meat and tasted it, and then handed the barbecue with a faint brown surface to Du Qian.
Du Qian hurriedly reached out to pick up the barbecue, he was already hungry at this time, looking at the roasted beast meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the wonderful aroma went straight into his nostrils, causing him to swallow his saliva again and again.
After taking the barbecue, Du Qian couldn't wait to take a bite, and suddenly a meaty aroma bloomed in his mouth, stimulating some taste buds fiercely.
Seeing Du Qian gobbling up, Diya couldn't help but smile, walked and took some chopped firewood and joined the bonfire, and left silently to rest.
Ignoring the departure of the chief of the guard, Du Qian devoured the barbecue, and soon only a few bare animal bones were left, and finally put his finger in his mouth and sucked it, then he still touched his stomach and sighed, he knew that he should taste this delicious food in the world slowly, but he didn't find that the barbecue skills of the chief guard were so exquisite.
Thinking like this, Du Qian smirked "hey, hey, hey", and then he paused and realized how second he was at this time, but fortunately no one saw it. Du Qian used to cook many times in order to survive during the selection, but he was in a hurry, and as long as he didn't die, he stuffed it into his mouth, resulting in his cooking skills being good now, but still not so satisfactory.
Looking up at the starry sky, Du Qian patted his stomach and didn't feel dirty, he just lay motionless next to the bonfire, slowly late at night, the unknown insects chirped lifelessly, Du Qian's snoring gradually sounded, he didn't sleep well for the fish man some time ago, and this time he can finally have a good rest.
"Ah~" Stretching, Du Qian got up and stood inside the tent, frowning and rubbing his temples that were a little painful. Looking at the right hand that can't move, it's really inconvenient to use the heart without the right hand, whether it's eating barbecue or poss...
"Last night, I remember sleeping next to the campfire, how did I get into the tent?" I knocked my head a few times and shook it vigorously, as if I had to shake it out with water in my head.
When the tent was opened, a ray of sunlight greeted him, and Du Qian hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, and his eyes hurt from being pierced by the sun. After waiting for a while, after his eyes slowly got used to it, Du Qian put his left arm behind his back and walked out of the tent with the back of his head buckled.
"It's almost noon, so I guess we've already started searching," but look at the people around the camp. "No, perhaps, it's all over."
Du Qian was a little annoyed, the soldiers had already destroyed the fish-man's lair, but he had just woken up. He didn't have the slightest suspicion that he didn't set out to search at all, the quality of these soldiers Du Qian saw in his eyes, and the task that had been sent out would definitely not shirk for some reason. Walking in the direction with the largest crowd, Du Qian saw from a distance that everyone was digging a pit to bury the corpses of those fish people.
"Today's search is over?" Du Qian casually summoned a sentry to inquire about the search, although there was speculation but no confirmation, the corpses of those fishmen were only the ones that were killed in the battle yesterday, and there was no need to bring the corpses of the fishmen here for burial.
