After a night of snowstorms.

The next day, the weather was unexpectedly much better, and the rest of the soldiers barely survived the night, except for a few seriously injured who could not resist the cold and died.

So I took advantage of the sunny weather.

Vega ordered the soldiers to begin building defensive lines and setting up outposts, at least to ensure that they were aware of the disturbances within a kilometer.

After the defense line was constructed, Vega ordered the construction of wooden houses for living in local materials.

And while building a wooden house and setting up barricades, he used nearby stones to build a medium-sized fortress to ensure his own safety, after all, the wooden house is difficult to protect against the bombardment of the fire magician, and he does not want to be lit by a fireburst of the enemy.

Even with 5,000 people, this amount of work cannot be done in a day or two.

Therefore, during these three days, Vega concentrated on making preparations, and as long as the other troops did not discover them, he generally did not take the initiative to provoke.

Although it did not take the initiative to provoke the war, the intelligence work did not fall behind.

Vega sent a large number of scouts, and not only found out the size of the forest, but also roughly knew how many troops were in the forest and where they were stationed.

The forest is about 172 square kilometers and the temperature is around -10 degrees Celsius during the day, dropping to over -15 degrees Celsius at night, and it rains or snows 80 percent of the time.

The whole forest is full of pine trees up to 40 meters high.

The dense tops of the trees cover the entire sky, and even in the daytime, it feels dark and oppressive, and the rain always drips down the branches of the trees, whether it is rain or snow, making people shudder.

In the course of the operation.

Because of the interlaced branches in the lower part of the fir tree, any soldier could only bend forward, so it was often not suitable for large-scale marches, and even if a large army marched, the speed was not much better than that of a turtle.

Based on this geographical environment, it is much easier to carry out intelligence work.

According to the intelligence in control, there are now more than 150 regiments in this forest, and about 240,000 soldiers are concentrated here, and there are wars almost every time.

About ten regiments disappeared every day as a result.

Of course, there are many officers who are proficient in forest warfare who have taken advantage of the situation and continued to defeat the enemy and strive to expand their troops, but there are almost no troops like Vega that have been expanded to a standard brigade strength by picking up cheap.

Not everyone can easily perform decapitation tactics.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you often need to hurt 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, so now he is the only one with the largest number of troops in the forest, and there is no other semicolon, and the second place is a unit of less than 3,000, and it is still in the stage of negative enemy.

Seeing that everyone was constantly harvesting points, Vega was not in a hurry.

The time of this hundred-team battle is as long as six months, and instead of participating in the big melee now, it is better to recuperate and recuperate, and when the troops he has collected recover their morale and can exert 100% combat power after more than ten days, it is not too late to make a move.

So are these more than ten days wasted like this?

Not really.

Although I don't plan to participate in the melee in the early stage, I can't waste the opportunity to accumulate strength.

So Vega ordered the construction of several wooden houses in a prominent location along with the construction of the infrastructure, and left about 700 demoralized or wounded soldiers on standby in that prominent location.

Vega referred to the 700 soldiers as bait.

As imagined, he was going to stage a bait of the wisher.

The location was so close to the headquarters that if a fish caught the bait, Vega's large force could arrive on the scene within ten minutes and surround the enemy without letting a fly go.

Add to that the superiority of his own shadow mage.

As long as you plan properly, you can repeat the decapitation tactic as you would, and you don't need to be like other troops, on the premise of losing the main force, in order to gnaw at the opponent's troops to gain points.

You know, it's just a magical illusion.

Therefore, there will never be an officer who surrenders without resistance, and even in the face of ten times their size, they will order the soldiers to gnaw off a piece of meat from the other side.

This is also the reason why many officers who are proficient in jungle warfare have a lot of points, but they are unable to expand their troops, and not everyone is as lucky as Kane to kill the opposing commander in one fell swoop.

The plan went well.

In just one morning, Vega's forces had carved out a clearing in a prominent position.

In addition, the construction of wooden houses was not difficult, and in the evening of the same day, small wooden houses were erected from the ground, and it can be estimated that this is a force of about 700 people based on the naked eye.

Do a full set of plays.

While the hut was being built, Vega ordered a fence and barricades to be built along the hut, and two wounded soldiers were stationed at the gate, which of course was deliberately made visible to enemy scouts.

The stage is set up, the actors are in place, how can you do without an audience?

So in order to lure the first "smart man" into the trap, Vega immediately ordered 700 soldiers to make fires and make food.

The smoke soared, and it was quite conspicuous when the sky was about to get dark.

The smoke used to make a fire is different from the smoke caused by fire-based magic.

The former is not in a hurry, while the latter is so blazing that any slightly smarter commander can tell.

What if you can't tell the difference if you're stupid?

If you can't even distinguish this kind of smoke, such a person will not pose a threat even in the later stage, and Vega's idea is different from that of other persimmon picks and pinches, he likes to start with the difficult and then the easy.

Report. ”

A scout came back and reported: "There is a force of about 2,000 men marching in our direction, and the scouts of the opposing side have entered the warning range, will I remove them?"

"Don't startle the snake. ”

Vega showed an innocent and bright smile: "Let the actors ...... The soldiers are in position, and they are selling the other scouts well, and they must feel that it is an easy thing to eat us. ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

After receiving Viga's order, more than 700 soldiers were languishing and wounded, resting by the trees, or making fires and cooking in twos and threes, or carrying and pulling logs to build houses, and even creating third-rate traps in front of the opposing scouts, as if they were miserable remnants of the army.

Taking advantage of this interval, Vega ordered a large army to be ready to support at any time.

And he himself hid in a place with a better view, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.

Shalashala-

Dozens of minutes later, this army, which thought it was unaware, had fallen into the encirclement, but Vega did not order the large army to appear as soon as possible, but waited quietly.

Wait for the enemy's commander to reveal the trail himself.
