"Hey, Gibson~ Did you clear the investigation?" asked Giggs as he looked at Gibson who had ripped off the jug of the guard next to him and poured it into his mouth.

Gibson burped, sealed the mouth of the kettle, threw the kettle back into the guard's hand, touched his chest, and answered Giggs's question.

"Captain, a few of us scattered to find the traces of the jackals, and we have a lot of harvest today~" Gibson said mysteriously.

"Oh, what's the news, hurry up and tell it~" Giggs laughed and scolded.

"Hehe~, those gnolls still can't resist the hunger, and they came out to look for prey again, but we separated around Dead Leaf Town and found a total of two hunting teams of jackals~"

"Tsk~ Captain, do you know?The number of these gnolls in each unit is about fifty, they think that there are so many people that we can't do it, haha, but today we are going to leave after a big vote~" Gibson gloated.

"In this way, fifty gnolls, it is a little difficult for our two squadrons to eat~" Alan said with some hesitation.

"No, no, no, we're not just going to eat them, we're going to kill all of their hunting teams today!" Giggs made a very decisive dictatorial decision.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone, Giggs turned a blind eye and said to himself, "First of all, we need loot, even if we know how many gnolls we have eliminated here, but the two nobles in Licorice Town don't know that we didn't leave the heads of those gnolls because of the needs of the war, and now we have to go back and repair it, then we must have a visible result to show it, I think a hundred heads of jackals should be enough." “

"The second point, purely strategically, is that the population of the gnolls is less than six hundred, and that includes the number of gnolls who have been injured by our traps, and if we get rid of these hundred gnolls, then their total population will be less than five hundred, and a large part of them are female gnolls, and there are still some wounded, and we just need to go back to licorice town, fix our condition, replenish the arrows, and then when we come again, it will be the death of these guys. ”

Gigston paused, " The third point, and the reason why I want to withdraw to Licorice Town, we have pushed these gnolls too hard during this time, I am afraid that they will ask for help from their previous tribe, and once the gnolls have reinforcements, when the numbers can already ignore our tactics, we will also fail, so, we have to retreat, but before we go, let these guys stay scared all day long in the rest of our absence, when they think we will not show up again and relax inside, our reappearance will give them a fatal psychological blow！！！”

Giggs clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it in the air, "And the premise of these benefits is ~"

Gigston paused, and said aloud, "Kill these two gnolls!"

"Kill them!" shouted the guard.

At this time, Giggs, who was in a state of excitement, turned around suddenly, asked Alan for the map, and said very quickly, "Gibson!"

"Here!"

"On the map, point out where the two gnolls chose to hunt, and let's find the nearest one first!"

"Yes!" Gibson strode over to Giggs, glanced at the map, and pointed out two locations.

"Captain, these are these two places~"

Giggs took a look, motioned for Alan to put away the map, and then walked ahead of the way, "All of them, let's go!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the woods, the gnolls carefully searched the woods for prey, and watched for traps around them, and only they knew how hard life had been during this time, and when the gnolls, who were famous for their ferocity, had fallen to such a state, and that they had been caused by some humans who seemed so weak to them.

At this time, they hunted in the forest, never thought that humans had come to the outside of this forest, and they had become human prey.

"Constantly form a situation of more fights and less in the forest, use melee weapons to solve them~ Of course, there is an environment suitable for bows and arrows, you still don't forget about bows and arrows, okay, now the action begins!"

With Giggs's order, the guards quickly burrowed into the woods, and the hunt for the gnolls officially began.

Two hours later, the guards reunited at the place they entered, many carrying the heads of the gnolls with frightened or angry expressions in their hands.

Giggs looked at the slightly embarrassed guard, and there were three gnolls at his feet, "Report the casualties~"

Alan glanced at Gibson, and after Gibson motioned for Alan to report with his eyes, Alan stood up and reported to Giggs, "The hunting team of fifty jackals has been wiped out, and two of our wounded people are slightly injured, and no one has died~"

"Well, it's not bad~" Giggs nodded with satisfaction, as for the wounded or dead, this is war, how can there be no these, only cowards will not bleed~

"Pack up and rush to the next location, this time we will prepare an ambush in advance, and in addition we will set a trap in front of our predetermined position~ so that those gnolls who rush in front of us will find that there is an abyss under their feet. Giggs ordered the guards to move their positions quickly.

"The trap doesn't need to be dug too deep, just a dense cloth, think about it, tell the jackals who rushed over suddenly their feet were empty, I believe their bones will definitely click, and we only need to shoot at a fixed point, don't tell me that you failed the assessment~" This stage of the battle is about to end, and Giggs's mood is also happy.

When the investigators found that the gnolls had already carried today's prey and were about to go back, they hurried to report to Giggs, who learned the news and ordered everyone to stand behind the trap belt prepared in advance, and waited for the gnolls in the open.

When the gnolls found that the murderers of their own people during this time were standing before them like this, not hiding as before, and that there were not many of them, the gnolls rushed up one by one with red eyes and howling at the arrows of the guard.

They paid no attention to the mocking smiles on the guards' faces until they felt a sharp pain in their feet, and then fell to the ground, rolling in a ball.

"What a stupid beast!" said Giggs softly, his opinion~
