Holding little Isa all the way, Zhang Yi and Jamel finally succeeded in rushing back to the stronghold before the gnolls. Zhang Yi left the stronghold at dawn and began to carry out this reconnaissance operation.

At the time of his departure, there was only a simple open space in front of the large house that was in the center of the stronghold. And now it's time for him to return with Jamel.

This vacant land in Zhang Yi's memory has changed its appearance.

A one-meter-deep arc-shaped trench has been dug along the perimeter of the clearing, and the excavated earth has been piled up on the side of the clearing. The depth of the trench is combined with the height of the earth, and the effect of the two is enough for the gnolls who are congenitally deficient in height to drink a pot.

In the middle of the road, deliberately retained, is a row of improvised wooden horses, behind which two heavily armed farmers are standing.

After Zhang Yi and Jammel, who were now walking briskly along the path, the two farmers moved the wooden horses together, and when Zhang Yi and Jamel had passed Guò, they moved the obstacles back to their original places.

When he had done this, the two peasants put their feet together and raised their heads, and tapped lightly on their left chest with their right hand holding a short spear.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Putting down the little Issa in his hand, Zhang Yi habitually raised his right hand and made a return salute, and then asked:

"Where is Instructor Vasily now?"

Hearing Zhang Yi's question, a farmer on the right replied:

"The instructor is preparing some temporary throwing guns with the rest of the people, do you need me to take you there?"

Zhang Yi knew in his heart that there were more than a dozen gnolls behind his buttocks, so he shook it gently and declined the farmer's kindness.

"No need, tell me where he is, I'll just find it myself."

"The instructor is right behind this house, and you can see it if you go around it."

While explaining in words, the farmer pointed out the direction for Zhang Yi with the short spear in his hand.

After nodding his head to express his gratitude, Zhang Yi turned his head to look at Jammel, but before he could ask, Jamel took the initiative to speak:

"I'll just stay here, so that if those gnolls come over at this time, I can help delay the time, just the two of them can't hold this intersection."

Hearing Jamel say this, Zhang Yi didn't say any more nonsense, and said to Jamel: "Then please, I'll go and go back." After that, I took little Issa and went to find Vasily.

It didn't take much effort for Zhang Yi, who took little Issa with him, to find Vasily near the orchard. Just like the sentry farmer had said.

When Zhang Yi found Vasily, he was taking the rest of the farmers to process some specially selected branches. Just looking at Vasily's posture, Zhang Yi knew that the instructor wanted to prepare some improvised wooden javelins, and then throw them on the heads of the gnolls if necessary.

Because of the special situation, Zhang Yi did not have time to be polite.

slapped his palms twice, and after everyone else was attracted by his applause, Zhang Yi raised his voice and said loudly:

"All right, gentlemen, now get into action for me, our guests are coming."

Hearing Zhang Yi's shout, the other people present were stunned for a moment at first, and then immediately let out a slightly neat shout, indicating that they had heard the order from Zhang Yi.

After shouting loudly, the peasants present immediately gathered in the whole team, and Vasily followed with more specific instructions.

"Everybody ran to the front yard to assemble, two teams were on guard, one team went to get weapons, and then they rotated. Did you hear it all? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency~!"

Hearing the neat roar of his subordinates, Vasily also shouted: "Action." ”

As soon as Vasily's voice fell, the peasants, who were lined up in two lines, began to run quickly and neatly.

After finishing the order cleanly, Vasily walked quickly in front of Zhang Yi, put his feet together and clenched his right hand into a fist and knocked it on his breastplate.

After Zhang Yi returned the salute with the same action, Vasily asked:

"Your Excellency, do you see that the situation has changed in any way?"

Zhang Yi nodded his head at Vasily, then turned around and walked towards the front yard with Vasily, and as he walked, Zhang Yi wanted Vasily to explain what he had learned.

After hearing that the coming gnolls were not the 7 that they had known before, but 17. Vasily, who was a professional soldier, rubbed his chin hard, and said to Zhang Yi in a slightly excited tone:

"Rest assured, it's just a dozen gnolls. I promise you that the lads will be able to get rid of these hairy guys with ease. ”

Seeing Vasily's confident look, of course Zhang Yi couldn't hit his own people's self-confidence, so he stretched out his hand and patted Vasily's left shoulder, and said to him:

"Okay, then I'll see."

After saying these words, the two of them had already returned to the front yard. Fortunately, Zhang Yi's most feared situation was not born, and he didn't see those gnolls within his line of sight.

That means he still has time to make one last bit of preparation.

The peasants, who were divided into two groups, took turns receiving their own shields and spears, and their helmets and cuirass were already fully dressed. Stand along the semi-arc of the trench and monitor the situation on the other side of the trench.

Hearing the news, Ainius, who was driven out of the house, confirmed the situation from Zhang Yi, turned his head without saying a word, and ran back to the house with his hands holding her long skirt.

Then Zhang Yi vaguely heard that the head maid was loudly arranging for the four maids to prepare for food.

After a short while, the two maids came out of the house with a rattan basket in their hands, and began to divide the loaves of bread one by one to those present.

Zhang Yi, as the highest-ranking one among all the people present, was naturally the first to get the food. It just so happens that this product has only eaten a little bit since the morning.

Taking the small bread handed over by the smiling maid, Zhang Yi bit off a third of it with just one bite. Seeing his fierce appearance, the maid in charge of the bread gave him another one without saying a word.

And in a rather pleasant tone, he said to him:

"Rest assured, host, we did a lot."

In the face of this kind of kindness, Zhang Yi could only chew hard and nod his head to express his gratitude.

With the bread done, Ainius came out of the house with two other maids. The three girls came out with their front feet, and Zhang Yi smelled the aroma of broth on their back feet.

The head maid who didn't say anything was ready to eat and drink.

It's always nice to be able to fill your stomach before the war and drink a hot soup.

After solving the problem of the Five Organs Temple, Zhang Yi unfolded his magic map again, adjusting the scale and display range.

Then, Zhang Yi clearly saw that there was a Q version of the werewolf with a standard of 17 on the map, and he was moving towards his location little by little.
