071 Scouting the enemy
After receiving the reconnaissance mission, the Cube Team walked east for most of the day, then stopped, looking at the endless wasteland, they didn't know which direction to explore for a while.
The task of scouting the traces of the forest people is indeed not so easy to do. "In that direction?"
No one spoke, and none of them seemed to have good ideas.
Sissi stood up, she closed her eyes, stretched out a hand horizontally, recited the mantra in her mouth, her body turned in circles, and finally after the incantation, her body stopped, pointing in one direction.
"That's it," she said. ”
"Uh...... Why don't you just let the rivers and lakes show you the way? Then we go in the opposite direction. Lucifer proposed.
"What do you mean?" Jianghu Mengyuan felt offended.
In fact, not only the block team, but other teams are also experiencing a similar dilemma.
Two days later, a player finally spotted the forest tribe in the valley to the northeast.
After Ning Hai learned the news, he got on the Whale and flew to the player's location.
After reaching the player's location on the map, you can see that there is a long green river composed of forest people under the whale, and according to the speed of the forest people, you can reach the plain today, and you can reach Liuyue Lake the day after tomorrow.
Ning Hai observed the forest people's team, the forest people with the height of ordinary humans should be ordinary species, the tall forest people who are two to three meters tall are the elite species, then the fat man who is four meters tall is the leader, and it is a good thing that he has not seen the forest people hero.
The foresters below spotted the whale in the sky and screamed at the ship, and the tall elite forester raised the spear in his hand, made a javelin throwing motion, and threw the spear at the whale.
Some spears were blocked by the psionic field, some spears passed through the psychic field and collided with the scales to make a clanging sound, and some spears landed on the deck of the Whale.
Ning Haihai stepped forward to look at the spear that landed on the deck, the spear that could penetrate the spiritual power field seemed to be enchanted, and the spear had a layer of frost or flame on the outside.
"Look, what's over there?" One player points to a dark shadow in the mountains in the distance.
Ning Hai looked over, his five senses were stronger, his eyes could see farther and clearer than the player, and he clearly saw that the black shadow in the mountains was also a forest man.
"Forester Hero!"
The Senren hero made a throwing motion, Ning Hai's pupils shrank, and the player who rushed away from the ship shouted: "Raise the whale, hurry!" ”
But it was too late, a wooden gun with a diameter of nearly 30 centimeters, hit the bottom of the ship, crashed into the ship, and then emerged from the deck, and the hull that came into contact with the wooden gun was instantly covered with frost.
Fortunately, the keel and engine were not damaged, otherwise the Whale would have crashed.
The pilot maneuvered the Whale to gain altitude and flew a little farther away
Ning Hai said: "Fly around the forest people and estimate the number." ”
The Moriren Hero roars at the Whale Horn, resembling a giant with an exoskeleton, seven meters tall, and wearing an armor made of fur and insect shells.
After making a circle, the Whale returned.
Preliminary estimates put it at about 5,000 forest people.
……
1,300 players against 5,000 Foresters, players use hot weapons, some Foresters can spell, and they also have a psychic field.
"The situation is not optimistic."
Of the 1,300 players, only 300 are veterans of blood and fire. However, hot weapons are not as elaborate as cold weapons, and novice players can also go on the battlefield with a little learning to shoot.
The psychic power field is too restrained against conventional weapons, and it is not necessarily necessary to win a fight.
Ning Hai thought about what else he could do to increase his chances of winning this battle.
He revealed the information of the Morito to Kayama and asked for opinions.
When Lushan heard this, his face was full of sadness. "It's hard, it's hard. Although ordinary forest people only have the intelligence of a three-year-old child, the elite forest people have the intelligence of a five or six-year-old child, and the intelligence of a leader-level forest person is not lower than that of an eight- or nine-year-old child, and the wisdom of a forest hero is comparable to that of an adult. Manager, do you see what I mean? ”
Ning Hai nodded, Lushan was reminding him that the forest people were different from the beasts.
Seeing that they were worried, the green fox also thought hard about what she thought, and the expression on her face was as bright as the sun. "Since there are so many enemies, let's find someone to help."
Lushan shook his head, in the last days, it's okay if others don't pay attention to you, and asking for help is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Ning Hai stood up suddenly, "Good idea!" He gave the civet a thumbs up. The green fox is very smart. ”
The light was praised, and the green fox was a little shy.
Ning Hai controlled the space shield to land, stood up, and said to the green fox: "Let's go back." Lu Lao, let's go first"
The green fox trotted over, stood on the space shield, and grabbed Ning Hai's waist with both hands.
"Hold on." Ning Hai controlled the space shield and flew to the city hall of Liuyue Town.
When Lushan saw them flying away, he felt a little disappointed, and walked out of the tent to see them away.
Back at the city hall office, Ning Hai said that Qingli ghostwrote a letter, and then asked people to call Wang Hu and Scarface.
"How many settlements are there around Liuyue Town?"
During Ning Hai's questioning, Qingli was busy copying the contents of the letter.
"There were originally three, and now there are two left, and the settlement in the northeast seems to have been wiped out by the Iron Wolf Tribe."
"Each of you with a group of men should immediately set out to visit these two settlements and deliver this letter to the administrator of the settlement."
"Yes, sir." Wang Hu and Scar were ordered to leave.
At this time, the caravan in Liuyue Town should be on its way back, and now it is probably in Mochizuki City.
Asking for reinforcements from backward settlements wasn't enough insurance, so Ning Hai sent a quest to the players escorting the caravan in Liuyue Town, asking them to post a quest at the mercenary bar in Mochizuki City.
"Recently, due to the influence of the moon, a large number of Posen people will arrive at Liuyue Lake in two days. Mercenaries are being recruited in Drifting Moon Town, and any mercenary who assists in the defense of Lingering Moon Town will receive a reward of 40 Gold Moon Coins, and those who excel will receive additional rewards. ”
A mercenary reads out what is posted on the bulletin board.
When a mercenary heard this, he was moved, the commission of 40 gold moon coins is not high, but the forest people are worth it!
He asked, "Is there anyone going?" Team up together. ”
The experienced mercenary saw the traps in the mission at a glance and pointed them out directly. "A big Posen? How much is a big Posen man? You can make it clear. ”
"I don't know," replied Platelet Connor, "our administrator said that we can deal with the forest people ourselves, but in order to reduce casualties, we came to Mochizuki City to recruit mercenaries, and as long as we can deal with elite mercenaries, we would rather have a shortage than an abundance." Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
The platelet Conna had an expression that didn't matter if you came or not, and the mercenaries were even more eager.
People in the post-apocalyptic world are like this, you smile and give him benefits, he is afraid that there are traps in it, and the colder you are, the more he will stick it up.
