Wildflowers, birdsong, rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, ......

The forest exudes its charm as always. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three people who walked in it ignored it as always.

Of course, now that no one is tied, they are speeding up their journey. Martin shows the initiative of a druid, who moves faster by following the trail of the beast. Many people believe that the beasts of the northern continent cannot step out of the animal path, which exists in the southern continent where bison, elephants, and rhinoceros are abundant. However, this is a place in the Black Forest that is relatively close to the spatial rift, and some special creatures that have appeared under the influence of this, plus the wild boars and a small number of bison, still step out of some beast paths. For an experienced druid, finding the beast path is no problem. Martin also took out a ring and blessed everyone with an elven travel magic - active stride, to further increase the speed of movement. As before, he walked at the rear. Still, a cloak of emerald green, which seemed to be woven of leaves, dragged behind them, erasing all traces of their passage.

"Strange how many rabbits are here," Martin said suddenly.

"......" The two paladins were really speechless for Martin's behavior at this time, which was still concerned about this kind of issue.

"Ah, you don't know, although rabbits are also distributed in the forest, but there are not many, and most of them are at the edge of the forest, and now we have gone deeper into the forest, it is not normal for so many rabbits to appear. ”

"First of all, I admire your keen observation of nature, and secondly, can we stop paying attention to such irrelevant things now?, and finally, can we feel that the enemy is near?" replied at last.

The Starch Spencer Druids have always been intolerable to other Druids and Rangers. As a result, they also have their own way of dealing with other druids or rangers. Martin now has a mushroom-like object in his hand, which the Starch Spencer sent the druids to perceive the druids or rangers. It has two functions, one is that it can sense if there is a Druid or Ranger within a radius of five kilometers. The second is that it can constantly emit spores. Once a druid or ranger is touched by its spores, it can sense even if it is more than five kilometers. Of course, this is just a small trick, and the druids or rangers have already solved it. But now, the other rangers don't know that the character they are chasing has the help of the Starch Spencer Druid, so naturally they don't warn of this.

"At least not in our vicinity, judging by the spores, there are enemy rangers passing by about 20 kilometers away. Martin reported.

That's how it is in the forest, where people run around like headless flies. Although it is said that the rangers are able to detect what is happening by the grass and trees. But under the cover of the emerald green cloak, all traces of the passage of the three of them were silently covered. Presumably the other party is quite depressed now.

The trio continued to move. Martin continued to try to ramble. "Well, you guys were right about fighting bears in the battle just now, do you know anything about things in the woods?"

Poor boy, how long has he not had a suitable person to talk to? Canian replied as he thought so. "I only know a little bit about the woods. As for the correct way to fight a bear, that's a matter of experience, and sometimes we have to fight evil druids as well. So we know the right way to deal with animals. We found that if they didn't take heavy damage, the summoned animals were actually reluctant to fight, and once they were injured to a certain extent, the animals would fight like crazy, which was very terrifying. So we all attack the sensitive parts of the animal first to attract attention, and then kill it with one blow. This has effectively reduced our casualties. ”

"You're right, but you don't know why. Martin said. "In fact, the creatures summoned by the druids still retain the original character of the animals, not those animals are reluctant to fight. It's animals that pay attention to the impact of the battle on themselves. If a person is injured, he or she can seek medical attention, and even if he does not seek medical treatment, he basically does not have to worry about food. Animals are different, for them, if they can't forage because of injuries, then it's basically a dead end. So the animals are very measured about things like fighting, and try to avoid injuries in battle. So as long as it doesn't provoke, the summoned animals won't fight hard. ”

"That's right. Canian and Lyuklisa replied perfunctorily. But Martin continued to talk: "What do you think about the fact that you play dead when you see a bear?"

"Although I don't know much about the habits of animals, I also know that this is nonsense, bears, not to mention freshly dead corpses, even carrion can be eaten. ”

"That's true, though. But according to my inference, there is some truth to pretending to be dead when encountering a bear. Martin replied. Seeing the puzzled glances between the two, he smiled and explained, "I'm just a fledgling Starch Spencer Druid. And in the past, I spent time on enhancing my strength, and the observation of nature was far from enough. But I think so, if you run into a foraging bear, you can't play dead. But sometimes, a bear attacks a person, not for food, but because he thinks that he has violated his territory, or vice versa, that he has been stimulated by a person. In this case, I think it's okay to play dead. ”

Nonsense, complete nonsense...... If we are animal lovers, or some kind of scholar, this kind of dialogue may still have some meaning. Liukrisha thought so.

Thankfully, they soon arrived at their chosen camping place. Now it's time to start discussing Cedar's tactics, so you don't have to worry about Martin's noise for the time being.

"Well, they're still in the distance, and they seem to be camping too. Martin replied after a moment of exchange with a bat. Bats don't have enough intelligence, but the druids have a magic called enlightenment. And Martin just prepared this magic spell, according to him, because he wanted to chat with the bird today. It can only be said that they were really lucky, and this unexpected spell gave them a big advantage. "There are a few gnolls on the enemy side, active in the woods, and I suspect it's the Gnoll Ranger. For the others, there was a mage, and then they were all miscellaneous soldiers. ”

Once you've decided on the composition of the opposing team, it's time to discuss tactics.

"What will they do?" asked Martin. Canian was gesturing on the map with a stick. Lyukria pressed a pencil to her temple, as if that would cure her headache. It's mainly up to these two to think about tactics. Although Martin has a home advantage in the forest, he is not good at planning.

"What matters now is what the enemy will do...... They probably came to arrest me...... It's impossible to kill a mage who can use level 7 magic without taking revenge......" "What? A mage who can use level 7 magic, are you sure it's not their leader?" The status of a mage who can use level 7 magic is definitely not low, and generally speaking, he is qualified to be the leader of an evil gang. "We searched their letters, and the guy who could use level 7 magic was just an apprentice behind it," Canion explained. "So, what kind of character should be the mastermind behind it? Maybe it's an old guy who can use level 9 magic...... Martin said. Lyukrisia and Canion, on the other hand, sighed in unison. But to their relief, Martin wasn't deterred. They can rely on Martin now.

After a period of conversation, everyone worked on the tactics. First of all, they think that the mastermind behind it, the powerful wizard, will not come to arrest people himself. The reason is simple, if that were the case, they would have been caught a long time ago. That kind of guy is not something they can compete with. Secondly, the wizard who led the team this time will not be too powerful. This was derived from the analysis of a letter found on the body of the hapless mage. The mage on the letter proudly claims to be the highest level of magic outside of the teacher, and complains that he is not taken seriously. In the end, also through the analysis of the words on the letter, they found that for at least 3 days, they did not have to worry that the enemy would ask for help from the mage behind the scenes. Because the person who does so will make the master think that he is not doing his job well, and it will affect his future status promotion.

"Well, to be sure, they couldn't find us, our traces were well covered. Martin spoke first. "And what will they do if they can't find me in the woods?" asked Lyukricha. "I should go to the Middle Avenue to intercept you and prevent you from calling for help from Outpost 27 there. Canian replied.

Then, they formalized their tactics, and after setting out in the morning, they took a big detour. Although the enemy has rangers, the traces of those miscellaneous soldiers passing by cannot be concealed at all. After finding the traces, the three followed, and then attacked from behind. It's that simple.

The next thing is to go on a table adventure. The so-called table adventure is the use of dice and maps to simulate adventure. At the earliest, this was invented by an officer who had been suppressed and retired. The officer had been a member of the Imperial Officer Corps of Elles. And there is a popular thing in the Elles Imperial Officer Corps called Battle Flag Deduction, which uses maps and dice to simulate war (they think dice are a good simulation of the uncertainty of war). The invincibility of the Imperial army of Ellus has its credit. The officer changed the rules of the wargame, turning it from a simulated war into a simulated adventure. Soon, tabletop adventures became popular. Its spread has effectively promoted the cooperation between adventurers. Nowadays, adventurers often have to use it to deduce before fighting, as long as they have the conditions.

And at a distance from them, the leading mage, Gilbert, was furious. He denounced the incompetence of the Gnoll Rangers. At the same time, he made up his mind to move forward and stop his prey from calling for help from Outpost 27.

He's on his way to the trap......
