After such a toss in the middle of the night, everyone obviously didn't feel much sleep, so Richard simply found a few capable subordinates and the owl to discuss the future plan.

However, looking at the green eyes of Richard's werewolves in the darkness, the nervousness on the owl's face never dissipated. The black light is blinding, and there are green eyes all around, which makes a human being, how can he not be afraid?

Although Xiao also knew that this was not something that Richard could control.

Richard seemed to be aware of this, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he simply cut straight to the topic.

"The number of hyenas is really a bit large, although with our current strength, it is not difficult to defeat them, but I am afraid that after the war, the warriors of our werewolf clan will also have great losses."

Although Richard's side has the advantage of equipment, after all, there are more than twice as many hyenas on the opposite side, so it is better to be cautious.

One of the werewolves said: "Our weapons and equipment advantage is still there, if we are more cautious, the odds should still be very good." ”

Hearing this, Richard nodded subconsciously, obviously, he thought so too.

However, the words of the other werewolf soon made Richard discourage his plan to fight the hyena man.

"Don't forget, the purpose of Your Majesty's order for us to go on this expedition is to recruit the barbarians in the mountains and forests of the Northland, so as to expand our forces in Great Xia." The werewolf who spoke was called Drow, and he was second only to Richard in strength among this werewolf.

Hearing this, Richard's face changed slightly.

It is true that relying on the superiority of weapons and equipment, they can win, but the point is that they went out this time to recruit barbarians and expand their troops, but before that, they themselves lost a large number of troops, so isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

Li looked at Zhuo Zhuo and asked, "Then what do you say to do?"

Drow did not collide with the patriarch's consciousness in the slightest, and continued to boast: "I think we should focus on circumference, our troops are divided into two routes, one part is responsible for dealing with the hyena people, and the rest is responsible for taking the owl to absorb those barbarians. At the same time, send a few more messengers back to convey the message, inform Your Majesty of the situation here, and ask Your Majesty to send troops to meet us, and when the time comes, everything will be fine. ”

"So, it's all about how to get around...... Richard said straight to the point.

"The number of hyenas far exceeds my werewolf troops, and if you are not careful, the casualties may be greater than if you are not careful."

"That's a real problem."

Just when the werewolves were pondering what means to use to deal with the hyena people, the owl, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, raised his hand and said:

"How about setting a trap?"

"Set a trap?"

Hearing this proposal, Richard frowned slightly, and said, "This is indeed a solution, but the problem is that it takes a lot of time to lay out a certain number of traps, will the hyena people give us that much time?" ”

"Don't worry, it won't take much time."

"How?"

Xiao explained: "In the vicinity of this mountain forest, there are actually many pit traps that were originally used to hunt wild beasts, and as long as they are slightly repaired, it does not take much time to rearrange them. ”

"I see." A flash of realization flashed in Richard's eyes.

"But I still have a problem, if you want to use traps to deal with the enemy, you must first be familiar with the terrain, and the terrain of the mountains and forests in the north is complex, plus the terrain and landscape are very similar, we want to remember the location of a large number of potholes and traps in a short period of time, which is probably a bit difficult."

It's not that he's making things difficult, but it's about the facts, because the fact is that when he first followed the owl into the mountains and forests of the north, he almost looked at everywhere along the way, basically except for the big trees, stones and bushes, and basically didn't see anything more iconic, which made them know the way.

Without someone familiar with the terrain to guide them, their advance would be several times slower.

"If you want to leave any marks near the trap, the marks that are too obvious will be discovered by the other party, but if you do it too hidden, we may not have the extra energy to find those marks during the battle, and if we don't find them, we will have to consider the problem of accidentally injuring our own people."

Richard undoubtedly thought a lot about it, and he was very thoughtful, and when he asked these questions, he was thinking about solutions in his own head.

However, the owl, who is more familiar with the environment here, undoubtedly has a more advantage than Richard when thinking about this problem.

"If you can't see the mark with your eyes, how about smelling with your nose?"

"Smell?" The owl's thought made him raise his eyebrows slightly, "However, the hyena man also has a keen sense of smell, will the other party also notice it." ”

"I don't think it's that easy, in fact, there are a lot of plants and fruits in this mountain forest, and there are a lot of smells, if the nose is bright enough, then the smell should be messy, right?" As he spoke, he glanced at Richard, as if to confirm the suspicion.

Sensing the owl's gaze, Richard nodded and replied, "That's right, there are indeed a lot of smells in this mountain forest. ”

"So, General Richard, can you tell the smell apart from them all?" Xiao asked again.

Richard thought about this question for a moment, and then nodded again.

"It can be done."

"That's going to be easy." As he spoke, Xiao quickly took out some fruit from his arms.

These fruits were picked on the road when he took the wolves deep into the mountains and forests of the Northland, no way, this is an instinctive habit, for people who often don't have enough to eat, they will definitely pick the fruits they can eat and put them in their pockets.

This habit can't be changed for a while, but at this time, it comes in handy unexpectedly.

"After this fruit is crushed, it will emit a unique smell, and most importantly, this fruit is generally only found in the outer part of the mountain forest, but not in the inside."

Speaking of which, as long as you are not stupid, you should understand, use the smell of this fruit as a mark, and as long as Richard remembers the smell, he can tell the approximate location of the trap.

And the best part is that for hyenas who are accustomed to smelling all kinds of chaotic smells, there is quietly another smell under the cover of other smells.

If no one had told them about this kind of thing in advance, who would have noticed that it would still be a situation of chasing and killing the enemy, it would have been impossible for them to have the extra energy to notice this subtle change.

"Yes, it works."

Richard nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with the plan proposed by the owl, and at the same time, after pondering for a while, he spoke again

"Tomorrow morning, let the warriors remember the smell, and then divide into waves to lure away the hyena people who are searching the mountains for our tracks, and help us buy us time to set the trap. I'll leave this task to you, no problem, right? ”

"No problem." Drow nodded.

"Well, there is still some time before dawn, take a nap first, take a rest, recuperate, and have the strength to implement the plan tomorrow."

After saying that, Richard just leaned back in the tent and took a nap, after the discussion just now, I don't know if the tense nerves were relaxed, and he was a little sleepy again.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, when it was still dark, Richard and the others had already woken up and began to arrange according to what had been agreed yesterday.

The fruit that the owl pulled out before looked round and black. According to Xiao, this fruit is terrible to eat, sour and astringent, and if there is really no food, it is estimated that no one will want to eat this.

After mashing the fruit into a puree, Richard leaned in and sniffed the smell, which was indeed a recognizable smell.

While it was time to eat breakfast, the puree was passed on among the werewolf warriors, so that all the werewolf warriors could remember the smell clearly, and the two groups of people officially acted separately.

Drow and one of the werewolves were in charge of attracting the attention of the hyena people, while Richard followed the owl to fix the potholes and traps, and for a while, the originally dead mountain forest was a lot more lively.

At the same time, on the other side, in the mountains and forests of the Northland, the terrifying howls of the hyenas resounded almost throughout the entire mountain forest!

Feeling the pressure of approaching behind them, the werewolf warriors who were responsible for containing the hyena people acted according to the plan, fought and retreated, and fought all the way with the hyena people, but they didn't fight hard at all.

His eyes swept for a while, looking at the hyenas who were scattered left and right, outflanking them,

Drow sniffed, and a sneer suddenly appeared in his heart, those two places are not very safe.

Just as it was thinking this, the hyenas on both sides who tried to outflank it had obviously stepped on the trap that had been placed there, and after stepping on it, its heavy body suddenly fell into the pit.

Then, a terrible scream sounded, and the bottom of the pit trap was covered with sharpened wooden stakes, and according to the hyena man's own weight, after falling down, the fate can be imagined.

For this result, Zhuoer's own mood is also relatively delicate, who would have thought that before it can be introduced, these hyena people who like to outflank and kill themselves can't wait to take the initiative to step on the trap?

In any case, the maneuvering on its side is going quite smoothly, and although the trap is used a lot, these hyena people will definitely be on guard, but they can still buy a few days.

And how far they can go in these few days depends on the efficiency of Richard and Xiao.
