Canopyed wolves don't howl for no reason, in fact, most of the time, they're frighteningly silent. And every time they howled, the seasoned hunter knew that things were about to turn bad.

In order to hide itself, the canopy wolf always tries to avoid making unwanted sounds. But when they completely surround their prey, they will uncharacteristically let out strange screams frequently.

This is when they were calling for reinforcements - no one knew how many Crowned Wolves there were in the Great Jungle, and no one had ever seen them alone anyway.

As a result, the chief now felt that the situation was very bad—the large group of canopy wolves was already very tricky, let alone these crested wolves who had mutated into this ghostly appearance?

Although Faust is not as experienced as the old chieftain, he has used remote sensing to discover the surrounding canopy wolves - not many of them have mutated, but the number of ordinary canopy wolves is terrifying, and there is still a steady stream of canopy wolves coming to Faust's sensing range.

What to do? Faust's mind was spinning rapidly. No, the existing combat power is not enough to cover the retreat of everyone and abandon those who are unconscious...... Faust thought about it for a moment, and then gave up on the idea—it was a solution, but it could not be proposed by Faust.

Then, since you can't break through, you can only hold on. Faust knew that now was not the time to grind, so he waved his hand, "Everyone stand back." ”

As soon as the words fell, before anyone could react, tentacles grew on the ground again. Zhan Nasi, who was standing in the crowd, looked like she had thought of something.

However, Faust did not follow her idea of a tactic - that would be purely death-seeking, and the canopywolves are called canopy wolves precisely because they are just as agile in the canopy as they are on the ground. It is not enough to create barriers on the ground.

Faust's real purpose in summoning tentacles is to carry corpses - whether it's a canopy wolf, a fire cockroach a little further away, or even a revenant who has died in battle, Faust will come to do it all.

The corpses were neatly stacked by him, made of broken branches and leaves, filled with alkaline soil in the cracks, and built into a fortification about half a man high.

"Annabella!" Faust saw that the framework of the fortress was roughly formed, and quickly called to Annabella, who was in charge of supporting the team, "I need support!"

Annabella realized, chanted a spell, and a green wave spread rapidly, and the branches and leaves that had just been broken off quickly took root and sprouted, intertwining between the corpse and the dirt, and even the soil around the fortifications climbed up, and soon covered the fortifications with a layer of brownish-green.

Faust lowered the ground slightly to a man's height, and the excavated earth lay evenly out of the fortifications for access.

Finally, after intense scrambling, the rudimentary fortifications were finally erected before the enemy attacked—at first glance it was a low mound, even a bit like a burial mound, covered in dirt and vines, but the limbs of some man or beast could be faintly seen. The "mound" leaves a gap in the front, allowing only two people to stand side by side.

Faust intends to use a thick attack to limit the direction of the canopy wolf's attack, so as to save manpower, as long as most people come to their senses, his goal will be achieved - he does not expect the old chieftain's men to stop the crested wolf's siege, he just wants these cannon fodder to delay time for him.

After a few more moments, the wilderness hunters could finally see the shadow of the canopy wolf. "Look, only a small percentage of them are mutated monsters. A revenant cried out in a low voice, as if a little gleeful.

Faust vaguely remembered that his name was Ratzinger, one of the two scouts before him. He nodded, it was a workable thing to build - he used the opportunity to boost morale, whether it was intentional or not, anyway, his words had a positive effect. Faust clearly sensed that everyone's morale had risen a lot.

“...... Your Excellency, will we make it back alive this time?" Faust was about to carry out his next plan, when he heard someone behind him babble and talk to him.

Faust didn't have to look back, he didn't have to perceive in any way to know who the man was—after all, there were only so many people present who knew Avento. Faust had just noticed that Klaus had not been rescued and was now mingling with the wounded, so it was obvious who was speaking.

"Lucas, what is the first creed of the king, do you remember?" Faust did not answer his question, but asked him rhetorically.

"Don't doubt your chief!" Lucas subconsciously raised his head and recited aloud.

"Trust me, then. Faust didn't look back, "Trust me to take you and Klaus back...... Return to the kingdom of Avento. ”

"We will be the heroes of the kingdom - perhaps, by then, our homeland will already be an empire. "You see, I'm just a little knight now, but then I'll be an earl, and even, if I'm a duke, and I'll have the right to establish my own duke." ”

"And you, my Lucas, you will be my commander, and I will assign you to be in charge of recruitment, and Klaus will be your deputy...... Everything will be different from now. ”

"We're all going to survive, it's not the cruel old world. Faust ended his brief persuasion, saying that he did not have the energy to make a more eloquent speech, "but we must suffer a little before we can achieve final victory." ”

"Yes, Sir Faust Lopez will suffer a lot, but he will succeed and become Count of Lopez, or even Duke of Lopez, but it is difficult to say whether the guard Rucas will survive until then. Faust thought maliciously in his heart.

"Now, all you have to do is protect yourself, and your brother Klaus. Faust finally turned around and patted Lucas on the shoulder, "I'll put you last." He winked mischievously - showing his men a not-so-serious side would be a great way to defuse their tension.

Watching Lucas gratitiously retreat to the unconscious wounded, Faust turned back and faced the hole. The smile on his face cooled. He arranged for Lucas to protect the wounded, not to protect him, but to let the old chief's men and horses go to death first, so that when the two met each other, the chief would have less power in his hands.

Now the situation is serious, but not so severe that Faust should unite all the forces that can be united. "Plans are spiraling out of control, but that's okay. Faust looked at the canopy wolf leaping forward, but thought of something else, "I can always find a way to get through it." ”

Faust thought so, unaware that deep in his pocket there was a glimmer of light on the surface of a dice.

In the darkness, there is a small spot of light suspended in the darkness, and if someone with excellent vision looks closely, they will find that these spots of light are actually shrunk to a very small picture.

A voice in the darkness slowly chanted: "O speculator, when you take a risk, the great and great is beside you. ”
