When Amos and they entered the ambush circle. Immediately sensing that something was wrong, he immediately ordered his team to turn around, but it was too late to wake up at this time, so when Amos's team looked chaotic because of the U-turn, they suffered a dense rain of arrows from the Clay ambush that had long been ambushed nearby.

Originally, the warriors of the Clay tribe thought that they could almost kill most of the Windrun Shooters in the first wave of attacks, after all, they were ten times more numerical than their opponents, but these Windrun Shooters were wearing chain mail made of mythril wire, and the feather arrows shot by the Clan's warriors could not penetrate this protection at all, and only a dozen Windrun Shooters were killed on the spot because they were shot in the head.

Amos was shot in the face by a feathered arrow, and naturally he was killed on the spot, and the remaining thirty or so popular archers did not become confused because of the sudden loss of their commander, and the deputy captain of this squad immediately shouted loudly to take over the command of Amos, and he let the surviving comrades use their horses as cover and began to counterattack the opponent.

The horses ridden by the Windswept Archer had no protection, so under the turn of the Clay warriors, all these horses let out a scream and fell, and the deputy captain who took over the command was in a hurry, and while directing his subordinates to rely on the horses and the corpses of their dead companions as cover to shoot at the enemy, he desperately took out the "Fireball Technique" scroll made by Ryan himself.

With a loud "boom", the thick smoke produced after the explosion of the fireball billowed up, and the deputy captain of the Fengxing Shooter Team knew that in clear weather, this dense black smoke was enough for friendly troops dozens of kilometers away to find out, and it was believed that they would soon reinforce here. The commander of the Clay clan, Basel, understood what the smoke meant, and he stomped his feet in hatred and mobilized his reserves to join the attack.

Although there are 1,200 warriors of the Clay tribe, it is naturally impossible to use them all in ambush battles, and Basel can be the highest military governor on the border of the Clay tribe-controlled area, how can he not understand military knowledge. In this ambush, Basel arranged a lot of men around the ambush circle, so as not to let these popular shooters who were lured over escape, and also had the idea of blocking the enemy's reinforcements, but when the ambush began, the commander of the Clay tribe was surprised to find that the 400 Clay warriors he arranged in the ambush circle actually fought a tie with the scouts of less than 40 people on the other side, even if he invested another 200 reserves, he could not take the opponent in a short time.

The Clay Commander Basel watched in amazement as an enemy scout trapped in the middle of the ambush circle pulled his longbow 22 times in a row under the cover of his horse and the corpses of his companions, and each shot killed a Clay warrior, and the feathered arrows fired by the Clay warrior could not cause any damage to these enemy scouts as long as they did not directly hit the opponent's head or other unarmored positions.

As a result of the fire, the Windrun Shooter lost three more people, while the Klay warriors who ambushed lost at least 200 people. These Clay warriors were not real warriors, except for the 200 who were used as reserves by Basel, the others were just herders, these herders had only learned the skills of fighting in their daily horse hunting, but when faced with a bone that could not be gnawed, and this bone was still killing their companions, they slowly lost the will to fight.

When the sound of the horses' hooves of the galler's swift archers could be heard in the distance, the commander of the Clay tribe, Basel, reluctantly gave the order to retreat, this failed ambush was a great shame for him, but if he did not retreat, he was likely to be surrounded by the enemy's counterattack, and the gains outweighed the losses.

When a team of Windswept Shooters arrived at the scene of the smoke distress signal, there were only 32 members left in the ambushed Windrun Shooter squad, and 7 of them were seriously injured and had lost their combat effectiveness, which was almost half of the number, but the Klee warriors who left in a hurry left behind more than 300 corpses of their companions here.

The information of this sudden ambush battle was quickly transmitted to the main force of the expeditionary force, and Orlando immediately summoned the surviving deputy captain of the Windrun Marksman Squad, carefully inquired about the entire battle, and immediately ordered the whole army, especially the scout troops, to be vigilant and not to pursue the Clay people at will, so as not to fall into a trap again.

Orlando couldn't help but sigh after carefully examining the corpses of the more than 300 Clay tribes, from the decoration of these people's corpses, it was easy to tell that they belonged to more than 11 small tribes, but the day after receiving the news of the expeditionary force, these people were drawn together, and they could carefully arrange a trap to ambush the scouts of the expeditionary force.

Fortunately, it was Ryan's carefully crafted Windswept Marksman Legion who served as scouts for the expeditionary force, and the sturdy Mithril chain mail on their bodies was not equipped even by the main soldiers of the Jonas Legion, this light but unusually strong armor spared the Windswept Marksmen who should have been wiped out in an instant, and waited for reinforcements, which was a great blessing in misfortune.

It's just that after this battle, the Clay clan will naturally pay more attention to this expeditionary force, and the entire expeditionary force will inevitably experience a greater test in the future. And in fact, just as Orlando had predicted, on the third and fourth days of the expedition, they did not encounter a single Clay person.

Wherever the rampant archers went, all the camps of the Clay tribe were quickly evacuated, and all the supplies that were too late to take were destroyed on the spot, and because of the slaughter of cattle and sheep, a few large wolf packs were even brought in, but the wolves did not cause any trouble to the expeditionary force at all, but made the hunter-born Letoz and them relive their hunting addiction, and the expeditionary force also had a few more days of food.

Seeing that the Clay clan began to clear the wilderness, Ryan not only did not worry, but began to admire Orlando, because this situation had long been expected by him. The more the Clay concentrate their strength, the easier it is to be defeated at one time, and because the Clay tribe is shrinking its forces, it is difficult for their large army to hide their traces, not to mention anything else, but the daily drinking water of this army is a huge amount, and as long as the expeditionary force follows the route set by Orlando in advance, along those well-watered places west of the South Taron Prairie, sooner or later it will encounter the main force of the Clay tribe, and the decisive battle will follow.

On the sixth day of the expeditionary force's entry into the savannah, the Windrun Archers behind the main force began to notice that a large number of Clay Rangers began to follow them far behind, and as long as the Windswept Archers rode up to meet them, the opponent would immediately turn around and run away, but if the Windswept Marksmen ignored them, the opponent would hang tightly beyond the range of the bow and arrow.

Obviously, these new Clay troops were planning to harass the logistics channel of the expeditionary force, but Orlando had already considered this, and the reason why the Jonas Legion brought 20,000 logistics personnel was to transport the huge enough food for 7 or 80,000 people to eat for more than 3 months, so the Clay warriors who followed the entire expeditionary force did not play a role.

Wherever the expeditionary force goes, it will leave all kinds of traces, and as long as these traces are carefully checked by people who know military knowledge, they can roughly figure out a lot of information about the expeditionary force, such as the strength of the expeditionary force, the general situation of the troops, the grain and grass equipment of the expeditionary force, etc., and Orlando does not intend to hide this information at all, he just wants to let the Clay people know that the preparation of the expeditionary force is very sufficient, and he wants to let the Clay people know that whether it is a strong wall or a continuous retreat, they cannot stop the pace of the expeditionary force, so as to force the Clay tribe and the expeditionary force to carry out the main decisive battle。

For Orlando and the expeditionary force, the biggest fear was that the Clay tribe was desperate to move westward, abandoning a large number of cattle and sheep tents, that is, not fighting the expeditionary force. In this way, the purpose of the expedition could not be achieved, and the imperial capital and the Cassano alliance did not remove the threat from the west. However, this choice of the Klee tribe is based on sacrificing themselves to become the other enemies of the imperial capital, and it is obvious that with the ambition of Chief Abdul, it is absolutely impossible to do such a detrimental thing to himself and others.

Things are also as Orlando expected, on the tenth day after the expeditionary force entered the grassland, they have penetrated into the steppe for almost 1200 kilometers, and the Clay tribe still did not hesitate to abandon all the cattle, sheep and tents and other materials on the expeditionary force's marching route, but the Clay herdsmen gathered together also slowly rolled into a huge number, which is not inferior to the number of the expeditionary force, so under the reconnaissance of the popular archers, the expeditionary force also slowly grasped the traces of these Clay herdsmen who migrated westward.

In these 10 days of marching, Orlando has to find out the most needed content from the intelligence collected by the wind archer every day, Jonas naturally has to command the whole army, all kinds of trivial things keep him busy, but Ryan and Androkos They still seem to have a lot of free, these 5 magic masters in the imperial capital are responsible for maintaining the "Magic Vision" magic array in shifts, and as long as they work hard for 5 or 6 hours a day, the rest of the time is all at their disposal.

It wasn't the first time Ryan had been to the prairie, but he still loved the sight of being in the middle of the prairie surrounded by an endless sea of green, and whenever he had time, he galloped outside the main army on his horse to feel the breath of freedom.

As for Ryan's own safety, if there is really someone here who can kill Ryan, then even if Ryan hides in the middle of the tens of thousands of main forces, he will not be able to escape the fate of death.
