Chapter 52: Burnt Out (1)
Levi couldn't help but glance at the wolf brother who was "paralyzed" on the ground on the side—bigger than a cow. How much food would it take to maintain such a size? Hundreds www.biquge.info of thousands of these guys gathered together is unimaginable. Although I have heard that Arcanmon are very different from ordinary beasts, this is also an exaggeration.
Hey, no, in the memory of the bear child, it seems that the size of the winter wolf pack is not large, only a dozen or twenty. Levi pondered for a moment. He also thought that wolves would "mix packs" in winter. But the mixed group is very different from what the person in front of you said - first finding the target, and then targeting, step-by-step attack, obviously requires a higher level of organizational ability.
After being confused for a while, Levi was quickly relieved.
After all, Roland is a high-magic world, and there are a lot of strange creatures, and it is natural that the wolf's habits will evolve somewhat.
In short, whether it is true or not, you have to "see it with your own eyes".
"Chief, how long does it take for them to swarm, and then when do they start attacking, and what are the steps in between?" Levi began to ask for some details, "Do you know any of this?"
"Listen to my master. It takes about a dozen days for them to change from small flocks to large flocks. During this time, many small wolves will come out of the mountain pass one after another, and then one by one they will start 'jousting'. Ordinary cannibalism occurs at this time. After that, when they are sorted out in order, they will watch over each other as they did in the past. Before the official hunt, the big wolves will disperse first, and then they will become small wolves and withdraw from the mountain pass. But there will be a group of wolves, deliberately stationed in the same place, to listen to the dispatch of the new big wolf pack. They act as sentry scouts, scouring towns for the rest of the day until they find a suitable target. Finally, when the wolf was confirmed, the wolves gathered again. The latter process will take about ten days. This can be repeated many times, sometimes even forming seven or eight different large wolf packs. "One winter, I made a personal investigation and found that the truth was pretty much the same. But like you said, this kind of thing needs to be tested many times, so I don't dare say it 100%. ”
"So at the moment, they're still in the first phase. Levi nodded, "Then we still have time to prepare." It should be too late to send out sentinels to monitor now. In addition, it is important to inform the villages and towns in advance so that they can prepare. Chief, I'll leave this matter to you first. ”
He looked back at Anthony, who was standing aside.
"Knight Anthony, the people of the Second Army are temporarily under your command, and they must cooperate with the chief research. In particular, you also have the task of reporting the collected information to me in a timely manner. It's not easy. The winter wolf, which has disappeared for many years, reappeared at this time, there must be a reason in the middle!" Levi pretended to be very majestic, "Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Anthony immediately knelt on the ground, indicating that he accepted the task.
But even after the arrangement was completed, Levi was worried.
Unexpectedly, just after the completion of the military reform, this newly created system will be directly tested, and I don't know what kind of things can be handled this time. But in any case, he will definitely stick to these plans of the First Army and the Second Army. That's where he was founded.
On the other side, the old man Benson, who was sitting in a chair, looked at everything in front of him with delight.
For him, dealing with the invasion of winter wolves is not at all easier than "slaying the dragon". Because the former is different from the latter, it involves many aspects, and it is difficult to rely on the courage of individual people to solve problems. Only when those who face its dangers are united can its damage be minimized. In the past, he had always been powerless - even if he knew the wilderness incomparably and had done the feat of slaying dragons, there was always not much he could do about this complicated world and complex human heart. Now, he's finally seeing a glimmer of light.
It wasn't until the dead of night that Levi returned to his bedroom.
Put Yaya, who was sleeping in his arms, in the cradle next to the bed, and cover it with a blanket. He collapsed on the bed and began to gasp for air.
There's a lot going on today.
Originally, the "anteaters" alone were enough to worry about, but I didn't expect that there would be more winter wolves, this winter is really extraordinary. As he sighed, he suddenly thought of something again, and closed his eyes in pain. The winter is hard, and the next spring is probably even harder. This is the beginning of the mutation. From Antoine, he knew that after the giant beasts, the incinerators, the void species, and the water lord creatures would appear one after another, until the subspace near here would stabilize again.
Although he didn't know the meaning of "subspace", he knew that he was busy.
Alas, is this the punishment for my inactivity in the first few months. Please, that's a necessary step to fit in, and I'm not too lazy.
While thinking about it, Levi suddenly heard a "bang-la-la" sound, as if it was the kind of mountain stream flowing through the river beach, and the water and rocks collided.
Following the sound, he was so frightened that he immediately sat up.
Illuminated by the magic lamp above his head that had applied the arcane "Eternal White Lantern", he saw a stream of water spill through the crack in the door, and then froze. The water beach they form is constantly spreading upwards, and slowly condenses into shape, turning into a human form.
"You're hard to find, Lord Levi Arthur, the mighty Lord of the Wilderness and ruler of Greystone......"
It's a crisp and moving sound, and it's enough to make people think about it. But Levi felt very mad, because it was a translucent water man who spoke of it.
"Who are you, you dare to trespass on my territory!" Levi immediately pretended to be calm after distinguishing clearly. He looked like he was not angry but mighty, as if he was clearly a peerless master.
Judging by the concave shape of the water man and the bewitching voice, how could he not know that the visitor was a woman.
At present, there is only one kind of woman who will come to his bedroom specifically, and that is the deceased who has been resurrected by the gods.
Before leaving, Antoine told Levi that the arcane star sea, including the power of divine grace, was classified and ordinary people did not know about it. In other words, it is highly likely that these women from ancient times did not know about it. They will mistake him for a peerless master of that era, so that there is a possibility of "fox and fake tiger".
From the phrase "mighty lord of the wilderness", Levi confirmed this judgment.
"Don't you know who I am?" the water girl laughed like a silver bell, "Hehe, I thought you already knew." ”
"Of course there is speculation, but I'm not sure. Levi said very "heroically", "If you are really them, I can only admire your courage." I didn't come to you, you came to me first......"
