Chapter XVII
"Old K, who are you going to bring over?" Shepis asked in the team channel.
"In terms of reincarnation, I plan to let Wood, Serna, Rose, Athena, and Dust and Smoke accompany me, and in terms of plot characters, I only need Rain and Susan." Xu Mo thought for a while and quickly made a decision.
"Well, Wood and Serna are the best ranged scouting combo, and Rain Man and Susan's minions are able to expand the scouting area. Rose and Dusty have powerful attack capabilities, and together with you and Athena, they can form a strike team! Shepis nodded, "But, don't you bring any MT?" Otherwise, let Ahan or Orc come with you! ”
"No, we're not going to play against the top teams this time. If you have the opportunity, I hope to be able to kill one or two lone reincarnators, and if you don't have a chance, forget it. Xu Mo shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here, if you have something difficult to decide, just ask Simon more." That stinky and beautiful kid is a good thinker, but he is lazy, and if you don't ask him, he won't take the initiative to help you plan. ”
"I see!" Shepis agreed, "If you're just looking for an opportunity to snipe the lone person, this team still lacks a ranged attacker." Let Yi Yun go with you, her ranged attack power can rank in the top 10 in the entire Y-space. ”
"That chick who is prouder than a peacock?" Xu Mo glanced back at the team, leaned over to Xue Pis's side and whispered, "Are you sure she won't go against me at a critical time?" ”
"Hehe, Yiyun is indeed proud, but she has to take care of the big picture more than you think. In fact, she was the first to remind me to ask you for help! Shepis said with a smirk.
……
"Lord Cole, Leo's team has entered the Qiyun Forest, and the Bald Eagle can no longer follow them!" Susan came to Xu Mo's side and reported.
"Susan, are you sure there are no members of the Vattalis family in that team?" Xu Mo asked solemnly.
"I'm sure!" Susan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, this is a semi-open secret of the Dragonpattern family, if you want to know, I can tell you......"
Listening to Susan's narration, Xu Mo nodded slowly. Although the dragon patterns that have been discovered so far can be classified into twelve types, in fact, there are many families with dragon patterns on the Kovare continent. The so-called Twelve Dragon Pattern Families refer to the twelve largest families that represent these twelve dragon patterns.
The Twelve Dragons family has been passed down to the present day, and it is not immutable, and many of the original Twelve Dragons have been replaced by later families and disappeared into the history of the Kovarare Continent. The current Twelve Dragons family implements an alliance system, and many families with the same dragon pattern form a community of interests, and the largest family is the representative of everyone.
The representative families of the twelve dragon patterns have great privileges and status, and are not limited to a certain country. However, because of this, when the throne changes in any country, other small dragon families can participate in politics~ struggle, but the twelve largest dragon families must remain neutral and cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family.
This is also the most fundamental reason why the Twelve Dragons Pattern family in the Vort King City cannot support the eldest prince Felix on the bright side. Unless the third prince Brian rebelled in the royal city and threatened the stability of Breland's kingdom, the Twelve Dragons family could not use any force and connections.
The privileges and status of the Twelve Dragons family come from the union of the same dragon pattern, and while they receive great benefits, they also shoulder great responsibilities. They need to protect the small family of the same dragon pattern from the oppression of the big family of the same dragon pattern.
For example, the Vattalis, who also belong to the Livestock Dragons, must protect the Cross family from the other Twelve Dragons. Even if the third prince Brian fails, the Vatalis family must protect the Cross family from the scourge of annihilation.
Of course, if Brian succeeds in ascending the throne, the Cross family will become the royal family's dragon family, and they will be separated from the dragon family union and can no longer enjoy this protection rule.
For these two reasons, the Twelve Dragons family cannot join Leo's team. That's why Susan can use bald eagles to scout Leo's team in the sky, but they can't do anything about it.
"It's no wonder that after Leo passed through Serubalan, he immediately increased his march speed and entered the Qiyun Forest. Looks like they should already know that we're going around behind them! Serna said cautiously, "Boss, will they set up an ambush in the forest?" ”
"It's very likely!" Xu Mo shook his head lightly and looked at Susan, "Susan, besides the bald eagle, you should have other means to probe Leo's team, right?" ”
"Yes, among the twelve dragon patterns, there are a total of five dragon patterns with detection methods, which are detection, exploration, animal husbandry, shadow, and alert dragon patterns. Although the strongest aspect of the animal husbandry dragon pattern is not reconnaissance, but when it comes to exploration methods, it is the most! Susan said proudly, "Because there are so many strange creatures in the world, no one can completely hide their whereabouts in front of the summoned creatures of the Animal Husbandry Dragon Pattern." ”
"If you may, can you tell me that you still have several summoned creatures on you that can detect enemies instead of bald eagles?" Xu asked sincerely.
"If it's my father, in this case, there are at least five creatures that can detect each other from a distance." Susan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with some frustration, "I...... I'm too bad to control a lot of creatures! At this distance, I can't help it! ”
"How close does it need to be?" Xu Mo frowned and asked.
"Within a kilometer!" Susan's face turned red and buried her head in her towering chest, "The redtooth ants on my body can spy on any creature within a kilometer!" ”
"Within a kilometer?" Xu Mo smiled bitterly.
Leo's team includes many members of the Emerald Claw, and these spies and assassins are very vigilant. Within a kilometer, even if they are able to spy on each other, there is a high chance that they will be detected by others.
"My lord, let me go!" Rain Man volunteered to recommend himself, "Although my strength is not very good, I still have a little confidence in concealment." ”
"Hehe, you've done a good job, I brought you here, but I didn't let you do this." Xu Mo smiled and patted the rain man on the shoulder.
"My lord, come closer, let me come!" Wood suggested to Xu Mo.
"Rain Man, how long does it take to get from the edge of the forest to the dusk woodland?" Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
"About three to four days!" The Rain Man looked down for a moment and replied.
"Find a place to camp, and we'll wait where we are for two days. Two days later, we will enter the Qiyun Forest again! Xu Mo pondered for a while and then made a final decision.
"Boss, are you worried that Leo will ambush us at the edge of the forest!" Serna asked, frowning.
"Old Captain K, this is equivalent to gambling!" Rose said with a wry smile, "If they don't plan to ambush us and go straight into the Dusk Glades, we're afraid we'll lose their tracks!" ”
"Old Captain K, why don't you let that rain man help us explore the way, or you can ...... it yourself" Chenyan glanced at Xu Mo suspiciously.
"The strength of the rain man is only equivalent to that of a first-order transferor, and he is not a reincarnation, even if he encounters an ambush, he will not be able to convey useful information." Xu Mo sighed, "As for myself...... Since the Emerald Claws are proficient in assassination and spying, they should also be good at setting traps. I have the confidence to hide my tracks, but I don't have the confidence to remove the traps they have set! ”
"Whether or not we can eliminate Leo's team is secondary, I am afraid of losing a good opportunity to observe other top teams!" Yi Yun said regretfully, "They should enter the entrance to the underworld in the Dusk Glades and start their first tentative teamfight. ”
"Yes, it's a gamble!" A gleam flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, "However, I believe we can still get some battle information, which is why I brought a professional assassin like Rain Man......"
……
"Rustle!" A large ant, twice the size of an ordinary ant, poked its head out of the grass, its head shining with a pair of scarlet chelicera. The redtooth's slender antennae trembled slightly, and after wandering around the spot for a while, it burrowed back into the grass. Ten minutes later, Xu Mo and his party appeared in this abandoned camp.
"Master Cole, Leon's gang just left, and the surface of the ground where the magic crystal stove is located is still warm." The Rainman walked around the camp, lay on a charred ground for a while, and then stood up and reported.
"He won the bet!" Rose and Dusty looked at each other, a smile on their faces.
"My lord, they are on the left, less than a kilometer away from us!" Wood's eyes flashed, and he quickly reported in the team channel, "I'm afraid we'll notice our presence soon." ”
Xu Mo raised his head and looked to the left. Sunlight shines through the dense canopy above Qiyun Forest, leaving dappled spots of light in the bushes. Despite being on the edge of the Qiyun Forest, the lush trees made the forest look dark, but the distance was no longer enough to stop them from keeping up with Leo.
The traps hastily laid out by the Emerald Claws along the way were nowhere to be found under Susan's summons and the careful investigation of the Rainmen.
"It doesn't matter, now that we're already in the forest, it's hard for them to rearrange the ambush circle at this distance. Shepis where are they now? Xu Mo turned back to Yiyun and asked.
"It's about half a day trip from us!" Yi Yun asked in the Skeleton Regiment's channel, and then spoke back.
"Let the other members of the Cross family in the team scatter more summons, and try to avoid running into other top teams!" Xu Mo solemnly reminded.
"War is about to begin!" A hint of excitement flashed in Xu Mo's eyes.
