Chapter 280: Don't rush to escape

Three thousand cavemen is not a small number. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If nothing else, they have completely surrounded the pass.

The trail we were on was down from the top of the mountain, along the foothills of the mountains, into the depths of the forest.

This is the only way back to Chiya City.

I looked up at the terrain around me, with massive mountain peaks on one side and dense forests on the other.

A river flows out of the forest and flows through a gap in the mountains to the mountains.

That's the North Pass.

According to the previous elven guards, it seems that there is a small hidden mountain pass.

Yes, there is, not far behind us, between the two peaks, there is a gap.

It's like an open line of defense.

The rustle is getting louder.

First of all, it is certain that there is a group of cavemen approaching us.

But most importantly, it is not known how many of them there are.

"Can you find out how many of them there are?"

I asked the elf next to me.

"If only within a few tens of meters"

The elf's tone was full of affirmation.

I couldn't see his expression hidden under his armor, but I knew there must be something this elf could do.

Within a range of tens of meters, could it be said that this elf can use sensing magic?

"Well, let's do it"

At my command, the elf crouched down, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground next to him, and squeezed it in his hand.

It's like pinching some little clay figurine or something.

His hands were under the thick armor, but they still looked dexterous.

He threw his hands into the air with all his might—

A little thing that could fly fluttered its wings and flew out.

Wow!

What kind of magic is this?

It's not cool at all, but it's subtle.

It's just that the little one threw himself forward a few times, as if he had exhausted his strength, and fell.

"It's about fifty or sixty, it doesn't look like the main force"

Hey?

You know this?

I don't know what the elf did with that gadget.

It may be that the field of vision is shared, or it may be an echo for positioning, but I don't know anyway.

However, critical intelligence has been obtained.

Twenty elite guards are definitely not able to fight against three thousand enemies, but if they only fight against fifty or sixty, they should still be able to do it easily.

So I asked the elf who had led the wolves forward.

"How many soldiers do you need to surround this group of cavemen?"

He turned his head to stare at me, and could see his eyes through the cracks in his thick armor.

It seems to be full of disdain.

"Surrounding?"

"In that case, maybe at least six"

Six?

Does this elf think that's too much?

And, listening to his tone, encirclement doesn't seem to be the best tactic he can think of?

"And what do you think?"

The elf raised his hand and gestured.

"Four elves, rush up from the side, work together in pairs, disassemble their formations, and then break them one by one"

"There is no need to surround them, even if they run a few times, it will have no effect on the situation"

I see, this elf has a lot of confidence in their strength.

So, let's try to see how strong this group of elite guards really is.

I began to make small calculations in my mind.

If they can really use four people, they can break the opponent's army of fifty or sixty people.

Then there is no need to kill them all.

Leave a few, let them run back and tell the main forces where we are.

In this way, the main forces were attracted over.

One is to set up an ambush in advance, and the other is to contain the enemy's troops and create more time for Lord Secelia's retreat.

So......

I stared at the looming mountain pass for a few seconds.

It seemed like a great ambush spot.

"Is there anyone who is good at the magic of fire?"

Several elves stepped forward and pressed their right fists against their left shoulders.

It's like a raise of hands or an oath by us humans.

"The six of you go to the hill first."

I pointed to the side of the mountain pass, near the direction of Red Cliff City.

"I need three people to scout the fortress of the Akaba family"

A few elves took a step forward.

"Remember, your mission is only to reconnoiter at most, and when you are done, bring back the information, be careful not to be caught, and also alarm any enemy"

I looked at the leader.

"You come to find the three elves, plus me, and together we will stop this group of cavemen in front of us"

He casually gestured to the other three elves next to him.

"The rest, I need you to do some fortifications and traps"

Spreading out the small paper scroll that Liu Xiao had given, I gestured with my fingers and explained to the remaining five people what I wanted to do.

"Let's go our separate ways, or just like just now, if you see the flash assembly order, assemble, otherwise stop at your respective posts"

"Understood"

After watching everyone disperse, I said to the leader just now.

"Let's go too"

"Do you know how elves work together?"

He stopped me with that.

I could only shake my head.

"Then you can follow us and fill the gap behind us as much as you can."

Obviously I was assigned a defender position.

"Remember not to approach our sideways"

His tone was serious.

"Uh-huh!"

Then he removed the long spear from his back.

"Roar!

"Roar!"

Several other elves followed him with the same battle cry.

Immediately, the four elves ran into the forest in a row, trotting unhurriedly to the flanks.

I followed them and felt an incredible sense of security.

Suddenly, their steps were so light and light that they could not even hear a sound when they stepped on them.

A rustle slipped past us.

The strong senses that these elven warriors have cultivated on the battlefield seem to allow them to avoid enemy positions in the most natural way possible.

Immediately afterward, the elves stood up at the same time without making any verbal communication, and clenched their spears in their hands.

Holding back the violent heartbeat, I also reached out and gently pulled my tiger tooth sword from my lap and clenched it in my hand.

They are still waiting...... Waiting for the perfect moment to charge.

The rustling grew more and more, and began to come towards us.

I'm afraid the enemy is searching for the surface.

Whoosh -

Needless to say, these elves rushed out as if they had been triggered at the same time.

Scold!

Before I could react, I heard the sound of a spear piercing into the flesh.

Kick and rush up with them, and the first moment of confrontation is over.

Two elves stabbed their enemies, and one kicked and pulled out the spear stuck in the caveman's body.

The other has to step on the trunk of the tree with your foot -

He charged so violently that he pinned the caveman to the trunk of the tree along with his spear.

"Boom!

The caveman who rushed up from behind let out some kind of reptilian roar from his mouth.

It sounds like a crocodile walking on two feet all the time.

Whether it's the caveman's eyes or the elves' eyes, they are extremely sharp.

A vicious battle has begun.
