Further up the ridge to the northwest, the slope gradually increased, and at about two miles away, the slope suddenly increased and formed a peak, which was where the wind wolf's lair was mentioned by Sterling.

Several people hid under a oak tree and watched in the direction of the mountain peak for a moment.

"This group of wind wolves has chosen an excellent nest, looking down on the surroundings, and the sentinels can detect and warn in advance of any danger. Captain Havic said after looking at it for a while.

"Hopefully it's just a coincidence, not a deliberate choice, otherwise we're in big trouble. Curry said next to him.

"Animals that are good at fighting in groups, never underestimate their intelligence, and of course we are. Sterling chuckled.

"Sterling, Durant, you two go and break some willow branches nearby. Captain Hacky commanded.

Soon the two of them folded two bundles of willow branches from the willow tree on the side of the road they had just passed and carried them back, and then under the leadership of Captain Havic, several people simply braided the willow branches into hats, and then each carried a green hat and began to set foot on the path in the direction of the northwest peak.

"Boss, isn't it a little strange that a group of us are wearing green hats?" Sterling couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the green hats of several people.

"Sterling, your wife is so beautiful, if you don't feel at ease, you'll rush back as soon as this mission is over!" Curry quipped.

"Shhhhhh Captain Hackitch interrupted the conversation between the two.

The rest of the day, everyone was silent, save for the rustle of shoes on the weeds. At this time, the shrubs on the hillside have gradually been replaced by taller trees, and several people shuttle through the arbor forest, and there are hats as protective colors, and it is impossible to find anyone approaching from a high place.

However, the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, and in order to maintain the formation, everyone had to slow down, so the distance of two miles, it took several people almost two hours to slowly approach the mountainside, the mountain became steeper and steeper, and the trees gradually thinned, and most of the exposed rocks were large rocks.

"Boss, this is over there, where the wind wolf was found yesterday. Durant pointed to a patch of grass halfway up the hill ahead and whispered.

Captain Havech took a closer look at the meadow about two hundred paces away, where the ground was overgrown with wild grass and only a few trees, so there was little shelter all around, and the view to the southeast was good. But at this time, the meadow was empty and quiet, and there was no shadow of the wind wolf in sight.

"Will there be no wind wolves sentry today?" asked Alan in a low voice.

"Probably not, it's close to noon, and when the sun is poisoning, I guess the wind wolf may be hiding in the shade somewhere, and there are wild grasses in the way, so we can't see it. Captain Hackic replied in a low voice.

"What do we do now?" Sterling asked.

"Alan, is your bait ready?" asked Captain Havic.

"Ready!"

"Okay, we can act according to the plan discussed yesterday now, but Alan, you must be careful when controlling magic, step by step, and be careful to recruit all the wind wolves on the top of the mountain. ”

"I understand!"

"Sterling, you go to the front, find a position where the wind wolf may pass and lurk, when the wind wolf passes, secretly kill it, remember not to play tricks, kill with one move. Captain Havic commanded again.

"Yes, Captain!" Sterling turned and exited, quickly disappearing into the trees ahead.

"Curry, you follow Sterling and assist Sterling if necessary to make sure the Wind Wolves can't give warnings. ”

"Yes, Captain!" Curry agreed, removing the steel crossbow from his back and following in the direction where Sterling had disappeared.

After a series of orders, Captain Hackich turned his gaze back to Allen.

"Alan, it's time to get started. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Alan opened the package he was carrying, and took out a thing that was pasted with yellow mud and especially hot gas, and he smashed the yellow mud on the surface of the thing, and suddenly a smell of meat wafted out, it was actually a specially baked rabbit made by Allen.

"Wow~! It smells so fragrant, Allen, I didn't expect you to have this hand, I was still skeptical when I heard you say yesterday!" Durant sniffed and swallowed.

"When the mission is complete, I invite you to taste my craft. ”

Alan said as he placed the baked rabbit on a rock, followed him to take out a small gas magic crystal and hold it in his hand, and then began to mutter.

Although there are some mercenary brothers guarding the left and right, but Allen's forehead is still oozing dense beads of sweat, after all, it is the first time to participate in this kind of mission, and now it is the most important part of the mission, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous. As Eren recited the magic spell, the magic elements in the crystal began to be released little by little, and a breeze gradually formed in the air, and through Eren's careful control, the direction of the breeze slowly pointed to the meadow that might be hiding a wind wolf halfway up the mountain.

Sterling was hiding behind a boulder a hundred paces away from the meadow, and next to it was a path where the Wind Wolf walked, so he was almost certain that the Wind Wolf would pass by if he was attracted to it. On the other side of the trail, Curry was lying in the grass, and due to the overgrown weeds, Curry could not be seen from Sterling's point of view, but he knew that Curry's crossbow machine must have been loaded with steel arrows, and pointed in his direction.

Suddenly Sterling shrugged his nose, a faint and unique smell of meat came with the wind, Sterling knew that Allen's side had already begun to act, since he could smell the smell of meat at this time, then the wind wolf with a more sensitive nose a hundred steps away might also smell it.

Sterling cautiously poked his head out of the edge of the rock, showing only a pair of eyes to observe the movement near the grass not far away, when suddenly he keenly caught the artemisia grass on the edge of a bush next to the grass shaking violently twice, and then a furry thing poked its head out of the grass.

Sterling quickly retracted his head, the captain's prediction was correct, the wind wolf as a sentinel really hid in the shade to rest, but at this time it should have smelled the fragrance of Allen's bait, and it is estimated that it will soon take the bait. Sterling rested his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully for any movement on the other side of the boulder, and gave his left thumb to point in the direction of the wind where the wolf was, believing that Curry, who was hiding in the grass, would be able to see his gesture.

Two minutes later, Sterling's ears could catch the rustle of animal fur and blades of grass behind the boulder. It came so quickly, Sterling thought to himself, that while it wasn't hard to kill a wind wolf, it would take some skill to get it dead before it could roar.
