Chapter 598: Wolf-Eating Bird
"What's going on?"
Langdon looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground in front of him, and muttered to himself with some strange thoughts.
They were all wolf corpses, but unlike the old wolf king and his men, these were not wolves, but some slightly weaker timber wolves.
This wave was already the third wolf pack they encountered on the road, the number was not much, about fifty, and the first two wolf packs were a group of wolves and a group of black wolves, and the total number added up to more than two hundred.
"I thought you were waiting for me with those little brothers of yours, but now it seems that I have put too much trust in your loyalty. Langdon glanced at the old wolf king, who followed him like a pet dog.
I didn't understand the words, but with the expression, the old wolf king instantly understood, and hurriedly wrapped his tail around Langdon and began to show affection.
Langdon ignored it and turned to look at Alfred.
"That's not right. Alfred examined some wolf corpses more carefully, and said: "The wolf pack led by the old wolf king is too numerous to see, but the next three wolf packs are very clear, their groups are incomplete, the number of female wolves and young wolves is too large, it looks more like a migration that was forced to be made after losing some kind of battle, and the loss was too great." ”
Langdon then turned to the old wolf king, poked it on tiptoe, and asked, "Tell me honestly, kicked out?"
The old wolf king shrunk his neck, whimpered and nodded.
"And then, what's in the hurry, where?" Langdon strained his feet.
The old wolf king let out a low and pretended to scream twice, raised one of his front paws, popped out the sharp claws on one finger, and drew them on the ground.
After a while, a crooked pattern appeared on the ground.
"Can you see what it is?" Langdon asked Alfred.
Alfred looked at the dragon and then at Kazvito on the side, and they all shook their heads.
"Really, it's embarrassing to take out the painting so badly, aren't you embarrassing my people?" Langdon kicked the old wolf king angrily again, and the old wolf king didn't hide, but leaned his ass forward, which meant that "master, if you are unhappy, you can come with two more feet".
Langdon was also speechless, shook his head, and said: "No wonder you don't know each other, after all, you are not a professional adventurer, and you still have relatively little understanding of this kind of thing, although this painting is ugly and abstract, but some characteristics are still drawn." Hey, I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the Forest of Half a Lake. ”
He pointed to the picture with his toes, "Look at these big wings, look at this sharp and long beak, no other creature looks like this except for the wolf-eating bird." ”
The wolf-eating bird, a creature with this name, is undoubtedly the natural enemy of wolves, and it is no wonder that it can scare away a pack of more than a thousand wolves.
"It's called a bird, it's actually a wurm, it's pretty terrifying, and interestingly, it's also gregarious. As he spoke, Langdon raised his hand and unfolded the map in front of the old wolf king.
The old wolf king looked at the map left and right, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly raised his paws, pointed at one position, and looked at Langdon suspiciously.
Langdon looked at it and said, "That's right, that's where we met, and you have a good memory." ”
The old wolf king made a snorting sound, and with that expression, it looked like he was smiling flatteringly.
Then it looked down again and searched the map.
After a few more moments, it raised its claw again to point at a spot on the map, but then raised its claw again, thought for a moment, and landed again, drawing a circle in that area.
"So, this is the territory of those wolf-eaters?" Langdon picked up the map and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, what a coincidence." ”
He circled the map with his pen and motioned to Alfred, "Isn't it a coincidence?"
The piece that came out of the circle happened to circle a gathering point they had predetermined!
"It seems that this is the first large-scale battle since we came here, and it was originally for military training, which is quite good, so I'll leave it to you. Langdon looked at Alfred.
"Don't worry, your lordship, you won't be dishonored!" Alfred said in a deep voice.
Originally, there were five planned gathering points, three of which were located on the outer and middle levels, and they were all on the paths carved out by the adventurers, so there was no danger.
The remaining two are located in deeper places, and although efforts have been made to gather information, there is not much information that has actually been obtained, such as the distribution of monsters around the predetermined location.
And the news given by the old wolf king is good news, at least it can allow Langdon's side to prepare in advance without being too hasty.
After more than a week, after following the established route through the first three locations, the troops finally approached the vicinity of the fourth, which was already relatively deep, and had been encountering adventurers from time to time before, but had rarely appeared in the last two days.
With a low howl, a sturdy wolf sprang out of the dense forest and came to the old wolf king, bowing his head slightly in respect, and then whispered a whisper.
It is reporting that since going deep into the forest of the half-lake, the advance scouts have been replaced by these wolves from Tior's intelligence officers, they are familiar with the terrain and environment, although the communication is a little troublesome, but there are two "brain gods" of Langdon and the old wolf king, and it is not a problem.
After listening to the report of the wolf scout, the old wolf king issued a new order, watched the other party jump into the dense forest from Xin, and then turned to Langdon's side, shook his head, and took out the map in the side sleeve of the leather armor that Langdon made for him, unfolded it, and connected the dots on the map with his paws.
"You're saying we're here now, and your little brother noticed a wolf-eater in this location?" Langdon asked.
The old wolf king nodded.
"Then it's not far off. Langdon said, looking at Alfred beside him.
Alfred also took out the map and looked at it, and nodded at this time: "If the information is accurate, then the distance between us is less than ten miles, and it happens to be on both sides of the gathering place." ”
"Then there's no need to wait, let's do it, Theor and the old wolf king cooperate, see if there are any other dangers in this vicinity besides the wolf-eating birds, Alfred, you can take care of the rest, I'll wait for you at the gathering place." ”
"Yes. Alfred nodded, and with an order, thousands of troops quickly moved, except for the defeated Evil Breaker force that was Langdon's personal guard, all the others followed him into the depths of the dense forest.
At the same time, the old wolf king let out a long howl, and the march was expanded again, and the wolves, which had reached more than 1,200, were mixed in the large army.
Before, you preyed on us and drove us away from our dwellings.
Now, we're back for revenge!
