Chapter Thirty-Seven: Larson, the Gnoll Leader
Li Qing's eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately asked:
"How do you tell?"
Xie Jin said in a low voice:
"I just went over and took a look and saw that they were building makeshift camps."
Li Qing's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
At this time, Chu Zaizhong saw that he had not responded for a long time, and asked loudly:
"Well, you can get 500,000 without doing anything, there is nothing better in the world."
At this time, Li Qingcai raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"My scout told me just now that you didn't even build a makeshift camp."
Chu Zaizhong paused for a moment, and a little unnaturalness appeared on his face:
"That's because I haven't decided whether to do it or not, so I didn't set up camp."
Li Qing looked at Chu Zaizhong like a fool, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face:
"Do you think I'll believe that?"
Chu Zaizhong stopped talking.
The scene fell silent all at once.
If it was really Chu Zaizhong who came first, Li Qingzhen had nothing to say, so he could only watch with 500,000 yuan from the sidelines.
Everything has a first-come, first-served arrival, after all, if there are no rules, no one will get the result.
But now the problem is that Chu Zaizhong didn't arrive first, he was fooling himself, and Li Qing couldn't bear it.
At this time, Chu Zaizhong thought for a while, and then said again:
"Your Excellency Li Qing, I did arrive a week ago, but I can't prove myself, besides, everyone is a classmate, and it is possible to cooperate when entering the big map in the future, give me a face, even if I owe you a favor, I will give you a million, the conditions just now are still the same, how about it?"
Li Qing shook his head without hesitation:
"I'm sorry, I want this opportunity too."
What are you kidding, everyone came almost together, no one arrived first, why should I be evacuated.
Li Qing did not give any face to object.
Chu Zaizhong's expression immediately became gloomy with the naked eye, and he said in a cold voice:
"If you want to say that, you just won't give me face?"
Li Qing was a little angry and said:
"Don't forget, I'm the last mentor, and I'm ranked higher than you, where did you get the face for me to give you face?"
"Aren't you afraid that this matter will cause trouble to the mentor, then everyone will not look good?"
"You're overestimating yourself."
Chu Zaizhong looked at Li Qing coldly with a gloomy face, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"How long do you think you can sit in third place, and you think you are the strongest when you get first place in the first big class? It's too naïve, I won't fight with you today, let's wait and see in half a month. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly as Chu Zaizhong's team gradually disappeared, and Xie Jin said in a low voice on the side:
"I'll go up and have a look."
Li Qing immediately stretched out his hand to stop:
"You don't have to go."
If he wants to follow, he may not be able to come back.
They have turned their faces now, if they find that Xie Jin is following, Chu Zaizhong is estimated to be angry and let his subordinates kill Xie Jin.
He's just a professional, and his ability is still not as good as other people's hero stalkers, and in the case of the same rank, heroes are definitely stronger than professionals.
After waiting for a while, An Yiqiu came over and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, what's next? Go ahead with the original plan, or? ”
After a pause, An Yiqiu said again:
"I guess he's not going to give up, and if we continue with our original plan to attack the Gnoll Horde, I'm afraid they'll sneak up on him from behind."
Li Qing nodded and said:
"It's very likely, and we have to guard against it."
It should be said that Chu Zaizhong will definitely do this.
After all, the benefits brought to them by an alien tribe in the early stage were too great, and no one would be willing to give up.
After a little silence, he turned to An Yiqiu and said:
"Arrange for everyone to cut down trees and clear a vacant lot."
Now it is not appropriate to attack, but he can't retreat, Li Qing is going to directly build a small city here and Chu Zaizhong, he doesn't believe that Chu Zaizhong can consume himself.
The order was given, and the soldiers changed into logging axes and began to chop trees and grass.
The powerful dragon guard wielded a large logging axe and slashed at it, cutting down a small tree in a few clicks.
At the same time, Li Qing also returned to the Divine Domain, decomposed a large number of wooden squares with the space in his palm, and reshaped them into sections of wooden structure city walls, more than five meters wide and as high as six meters, all of which were assembled with high-density wooden planks up to ten centimeters thick, and the degree of solidity was very high.
The reason why the stone is not used is mainly because the remaining stone is not enough, and it is impossible to dismantle the stone tower that was just synthesized.
By the time he returned, it was already half an hour later.
Sections of the wooden wall were taken out and placed in the cleared land after being cut down, forming a large circle.
Then six towers of arrows were removed, four in the four corners, and two in the gate facing the Gnoll tribe.
As for the two taller stone towers, they were not taken out, this thing was too tall, and it was troublesome to take them out and enlarge them.
In just half an hour, a small, well-defended city had been built.
The height of a six-meter-two-story building can prevent the entry of ferocious beasts in the wild, and the jackals can't attack it, and Chu Zaizhong can't help them if he wants to do anything.
Li Qing was going to stay at the gate of the Jackal tribe and Chu Zaizhong to see who couldn't hold on first.
"it!"
Under Chu Zaizhong's order, Wang Qiyong, a stalker hero who had been quietly lurking in the dense forest not far away, saw this scene of great change, and his eyes widened.
"Can a horse rider still do this?"
At a height of six meters, it is still a wooden wall, which can be easily climbed with the help of tools with his skills.
But ordinary soldiers can't climb over, and there are no siege equipment in this primeval jungle, so they can only stare dryly in the face of this kind of city wall.
The news quickly reached Chu Zaizhong's ears, and he didn't believe it very much, and he followed his subordinates back, and after seeing the city that had been perfected, he was silent for a long time, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
"!"
Thousands of words are condensed into this quintessence of life.
Returning to the temporary camp without saying a word, Chu Zaizhong looked at the temporary camp he was building, and then thought about Li Qing's decision to set up a well-defended city in half an hour, and his heart became more and more annoyed, but he was helpless.
"!"
Slammed his fist on the table again, Chu Zaizhong's eyes kept flickering, and he was hesitating in his heart.
When he saw the perfect city, he knew that he couldn't survive Li Qing.
Although he is also building a temporary camp on his side, what he has built is only a circle of very ordinary wooden fences, which can only prevent some ordinary beasts, and any stronger and ferocious beast can even jump in directly.
If it's just a ferocious beast, it's just a beast, and there is a tribe of gnolls not far away.
It is estimated that it is not yet hunting time, and the gnoll tribe is all staying in the tribe, and if you keep waiting, when the gnoll hunting team goes out, you will definitely find them.
The side of the collapse will not allow others to sleep soundly, and the gnolls will surely find a way to solve his threat.
Of course, the gnolls will also discover Li Qing's city, and it is impossible not to find a city that suddenly appears on the edge of the tribe.
But as long as the brain is normal, you will know which one to hit first.
Of course, Chu Zaizhong was not afraid of this gnoll tribe, and he was sure enough to defeat Li Qing head-on.
But even if he couldn't attack Li Qing, who was bent on defending, he was also afraid that he would be attacked by Li Qing when he was fighting with the gnolls.
"I can't live this day!"
After only two days, Chu Zaizhong couldn't hold on anymore, so he called Wang Qiyong and said:
"Bring a message to Li Qing, if he is willing to pay one million, I will leave immediately."
"What if he doesn't agree?"
"If you don't agree, just say it....."
Half an hour later, Li Qing received a message from the Stalker hero, who stood on the high city wall, shook his head with a wooden pillar in his hand, and said:
"Tell Chu Zaizhong that I don't have a dime, let him either continue to stay with me or leave directly, there is no third choice."
Wang Qiyong remembered Chu Zaizhong's advice and replied loudly:
"Your Excellency, my lord, I asked you to tell you, if you don't agree, then we will each do our own thing."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and his figure quickly faded and disappeared.
Li Qing looked at the darkness outside expressionlessly for a long time, and suddenly laughed:
"Each according to his ability, each according to his ability, are you afraid that you will not succeed!"
wanted to use this trick to make him not dare to do it at will, Li Qingneng was sure that Chu Zaizhong thought so, but he really didn't dare to do it now.
"Well, let's stay up for another week, and we'll talk about it in a week."
Anyway, there is no task to come out this time, and now there is still more than half a month before next month's big class, as long as the gnolls tribe is captured by that time and return to the mentor's castle.
Chu Zaizhong did have the idea of returning the carbine at first, he dismantled the temporary camp and led his subordinates to evacuate, but he did not hide far away, and sent the stalker hero to hide not far from the gnoll tribe.
But Li Qing didn't do anything, and after a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore.
It's not easy to be in this kind of primeval jungle, plus he hasn't gained anything from coming out this time, so it's too much of a loss to keep going.
After another two days, Chu Zaizhong decided not to wait and led his subordinates to leave.
But Wang Qiyong was left to stay and lurk nearby.
Two days after he left, Li Qing tried to send Xie Jinwai out to reconnoiter the surroundings.
It took a day to scout the entire gnoll tribe in all directions more than once, and he was relieved to make sure that Chu Zaizhong had really left.
"Brothers, get ready to attack the Gnoll tribe today."
Li Qing didn't want to wait any longer.
The gnolls had already spotted them these days, but they had been staying in the city, and the gnolls had sent a mixed team of two hundred gnolls and kobolds to take a turn, but they didn't find any chance.
Li Qing cut down all the trees near the city in the morning, and there was an open space around it, and the jackals themselves were not good at attacking the city, so they had no way to attack the city at all, so they could only give up after a few turns.
No tactics are useless, now there is only a frontal siege.
Twenty-six archers, forty-four infantry, five third-order lancers dismounted as infantry, plus two melee heroes Long Shou and An Erqiu, and Xie Zhu a long-range sniper hero, this is Li Qing's current strength, almost pouring out.
However, the camp was not demolished, it was still kept, and a hundred people were transferred from the Divine Domain to support the scene.
Keep it useful, and if you are defeated, you can flee back to the camp to save your life, so as not to collapse for thousands of miles.
The troops gathered in the open space in front of the gate of the gnoll tribe, and Li Qing looked at the jackals and kobolds standing on the wooden walls of the high slope, and the wolf howls came and went.
I didn't see a gnoll hero, but Li Qing was sure that there were.
Compared to the kobolds summoned with kobold cards before, these kobolds use wooden spears and sticks, and some also use wooden shields.
Most of the gnolls use iron weapons, and many of them are equipped with chain mail, which shows that this gnoll tribe does have some ancient heritage, and it also shows that if they can be captured, there will definitely be treasure chests.
Li Qing looked at it for a while, retracted his gaze, and began to look for a suitable place to put down the counterstone trebuchet.
But just as he was searching, suddenly there was a commotion from the top of the city, followed by the heavy sound of the gates opening.
Li Qing turned his head in surprise and saw that the wooden city gate was slowly opening, and through the gap in the wooden pillars, he could see hundreds of jackals and kobolds gathered behind the city gate.
"Take the initiative?"
Li Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
But it quickly disappeared.
He looked back at his subordinates and suddenly patted his forehead.
"That's right!"
Thinking into a misunderstanding, he thinks he can beat the Gnolls, but the Gnolls also think that they have an absolute advantage in numbers.
Before, they had been staying in the city and had no choice, but now that they are out, where will the field gnolls be weak, of course they will take the initiative to attack.
"That's it...."
Li Qing shouted loudly:
"Prepare for battle!"
At the same time, he quickly opened the space in his palm, took out the two hollow arrow towers and put them aside, and loudly urged the remote archers to climb up the stairs.
The ten-meter-high arrow tower can be suppressed by archers up to the walls of the gnolls.
Of course, Li Qing also went up to the arrow tower, he was a mage, but he didn't dare to stay below.
On the other side, An Yiqiu was already shouting loudly to adjust the position of the infantry, most of the infantry laid a shield wall in front, and the remaining infantry stayed under the two arrow towers as a reserve, and five cavalrymen swept the formation behind to cover the possible rear.
"Sure enough, there was a fight."
In the dark jungle more than two hundred meters away from the battlefield, the figure of a figure slowly faded:
"I'm going to tell the Boss."
No one on the battlefield noticed the figure that quietly disappeared more than two hundred meters away, including Li Qing.
The city gates were wide open, and the first to pour out was a large group of kobold cannon fodder.
"Archer ready, 45-degree angle throw!"
As soon as the words fell, dozens of arrows shot up into the sky, drawing a long arc in the air and falling into the dog-headed crowd, and suddenly there was a miserable scream.
"Put it again!"
The archers on the two towers quickly drew their bows and arrows.
After three rounds in a row, the dog-headed crowd rushed in front of the infantry.
An Yiqiu shouted loudly:
"Prepare for battle, shield raised!"
In an instant, the kobold crowd rushed up the shield wall, and there was a dull smashing sound and the tearing sound of sharp blades.
Long Shou didn't make a move, and temporarily guarded Li Qing's side and kept pulling the bow and shooting arrows.
Although he was promoted to a dragon pulse fighter, his old profession of archery was not abandoned, but was more powerful because of the overall improvement of his physical fitness.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the infantry shield wall was as steady as a rock, and the dog-headed crowd was screaming and falling.
The difference in absolute strength can completely determine the victory or defeat before the quantitative change leads to the qualitative change.
However, there are also a lot of kobolds, and there are a lot of gnolls in the back, so the victory or defeat cannot determine the final victory or defeat.
Li Qing didn't pay too much attention to the battlefield in front of him, his eyes kept looking behind the jackals, and after more than two hundred kobolds and hundreds of jackals poured out, a group of jackals appeared at the gate of the city surrounded by an extremely tall jackal.
