Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Wolf Hunt Project
"What do you three think?"
"There's some truth to Sterling's words, be careful, it shouldn't be a big problem. Curry also expressed his opinion.
"Boss, it's been a long time since we've done a challenging mission, and maybe this is the last chance for our brothers. James added.
"I don't have an opinion, everything is up to the boss. β
Captain Hardich's gaze shifted to the village chief and Eren again, and after a few minutes of hesitation, in the old village chief's nervous and Alan's expectant gaze, he finally made up his mind.
"Since the brothers have no clear objections, then I have decided, we will take this task, but, uncle, we have spoken first, we will do our best to complete this task, but if we feel that the risk is too high in the middle of the task, we will withdraw at any time. But the previously agreed commission must be paid, and you should take these gold coins back and return them to the villagers. β
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Captain Havic, thank you Warriors. The old village chief finally waited for the expected result, and expressed his gratitude to several people almost gratefully.
"Thank you, Captain Havech and the big brothers!" Alan said gratefully.
"Alan, you're welcome, you're your own now, and since you, a would-be mercenary who has just joined us, have the courage to face such a dangerous mission, there's no reason for us to be intimidated, right?" Captain Harditch said.
"yes, Alan, get ready, we're going to have a big fight with the Wind Wolves. Sterling smiled at Allen.
"This afternoon may not work, the wind wolf pack is not so easy to deal with, we need enough time to act early tomorrow morning, and try to destroy the wind wolf's nest in one fell swoop before it gets dark. Everyone is free to move around this afternoon, Allen, you must keep your mental power in the best condition, this time against the wind wolf is different, you also have to play an important role. β
"Don't worry, Captain, I will do my best, and I won't let you down. Alan glared and pounded his chest hard, expressing his determination.
"Very well, after lunch, let's gather in this house, and let's discuss how to eliminate a pack of wind wolves with the least risk. βββ
"Boss, I thought the safest way to wipe out a pack of wind wolves was to kill them one by one. β
After lunch, several people gathered in a room at the village chief's house to discuss tomorrow's tactical plan, and after some discussion, Sterling expressed his opinion.
"Nonsense, who doesn't know, it's easiest to eliminate them one by one, but are you an idiot to be a wind wolf? Havic unceremoniously refuted Sterling's claims.
"Don't say that one by one comes and let us eliminate, even five or five waves let us eliminate. Curry added on the side, apparently also feeling that the difficulty of this method was how to get the wind wolves to show up in batches.
"Can we find some livestock and put them in the villagers' livestock pens, and then attract the wind wolves to attack, while we hide next to them and reap the benefits of the fishermen? Alan also participated in the discussion and said his own solution.
"This method also doesn't work, first, we don't know when the wind wolf will go down the mountain to attack the livestock; second, the wind wolf will generally choose to act at night, and the night is the home field of the wind wolf, which is our biggest resistance, and in the case of limited vision, it may be injured at any time; third, if the wind wolf is the last time or twice, it will not be fooled again, which means that the threat of the wind wolf is still there, and our task is still not completed. β
Allen's suggestion was rejected by Captain Havech.
A few people discussed it for a while, and in the end, everyone still thought that it might be the best way for a group of people to attack it, and it might be the best way to kill one by seeing one and killing one by two.
But Allen suddenly remembered the night leopard attack that happened when he was training in the field before, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I have an idea!"
The next day, everyone was packed, and Captain Hardich gathered everyone together again to make the last assignment before the departure.
"Everyone checks that they have all the equipment in their hands. β
After a burst of chattering sounds.
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
Today's task is not the most difficult task we have completed, but it may be the most risky task, so everyone should be fully prepared and follow the command of all actions after entering the mountain. You always have to be in shape, Durant and I are at the front, James is behind us, then Allen, then Raheem Sterling, and finally Curry. If I die, Sterling takes over as my conductor, if Sterling dies, Curry takes over as conductor, and if Curry dies, James takes over as conductor. Captain Havech said solemnly, but in Allen's heart, there was a sense of tragedy that the strong man was gone and never returned.
"Alan, you can be lucky or unlucky when you encounter this kind of thing on your first mission, but none of this matters now, the important thing is to follow the command and go all out to complete the mission. Havic said loudly as he stared at Allen.
"Yes!" Alan replied loudly.
"Alan, remember my words, if Sterling and I are both dead, please leave everyone else alone and run for your life, understand?"
"Captainβ" Alan hesitated, as if he wanted to ask Hackich back, but Hackitch unceremoniously interrupted him.
"Got it?"
"Yes! I understand. β
"Okay! Sterling, no matter what happened during today's mission, you're going to keep Eren safe, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Okay! Let's go." Captain Hackitch gave the last order before leaving, and then the entire mercenary team left the old village chief's house in the arranged order.
Durant walked at the front, showed everyone the way, and followed the route that was scouted yesterday to the back hill of Deg Village. The slopes of the back mountain are covered with shrubs that are one person high, and the bushes are overgrown with weeds, but fortunately, yesterday Durant and the others had already scouted the route that the villagers used to take when they went up the mountain, so he took everyone along the ready-made mountain trails, on the one hand, to reduce some physical exertion, and on the other hand, to avoid the loud noise caused by disturbing the trees.
Soon they climbed to the top of the first hill. Standing on the top of the mountain, Alan finally saw that their location was actually the intersection of two mountain ridges, one coming from the northwest and the other from the northeast, the two ridges went lower and lower, and finally met at his feet, in the posture of two dragons playing in the water.
