Chapter 18 Lure the Enemy Deeper
Richard pondered for a moment, thought about the countermeasures, went through it in his mind, felt that there was no problem, and said in a low voice: "After a while, Ron deliberately exposed his tracks and introduced a part of the kobold into the woodland, Hayden watched the enemy from that big tree, and I prepared an ambush on the high ground behind the flank, responsible for shooting the enemy.
The task is daunting, can it be completed? ”
Although Richard's face was still a little immature, his expression was resolute and resolute. Especially after a battle, there is a feeling of decisiveness.
At this moment, Richard was no longer Ron's younger brother, but a brave superior officer.
Looking at Richard's determined eyes, Ron replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, squadron leader, I will definitely be able to complete the task of luring the enemy." ”
"Stay safe and come back alive."
Ron nodded, and made his way quickly towards the kobold camp.
His mouth moved and he let out a few bird calls, a unique reconnaissance technique that only a few Scouts could master.
Ron moved freely through the forest, studying with Powell for many years, and he mastered a variety of subtle tricks to hide.
Before dawn, he lurked near the kobold camp.
Using his short bow, Ron fired a quick arrow.
Ron's archery skills were average, about second-order level, but he stood upwind, less than thirty meters away from the kobold sentry.
At such a close distance, even if the archery skills were far inferior to Richard, he still accurately hit the kobold.
Ordinary scouts can't afford to carry longbows with long ranges, and they can't afford to equip expensive enchanted bows. To increase the lethality, venom is smeared on the arrows.
The poisoned arrow struck the kobold in the throat, and before the sentry could let out a wail, he fell to the ground.
The kobold camp is very formal, with not only open sentries but also dark sentry posts.
As soon as the Sentinel soldier died, the Sentry Kobold immediately screamed.
The camp was in chaos, and Ron fled into the jungle as soon as possible.
Two sleeping kobold warriors rose to check on the sentinel who had been killed by the arrow.
The kobold population has average individual strength, and it is difficult to advance to a high-level professional. But they are very smart, many kobold tribes have mastered the skill of smelting steel, and some powerful kobold tribes can even craft magic weapons.
Coupled with their super fertility, the vast majority of orc legions will be incorporated into a large number of kobold soldiers.
The kobold race has a high status in the orc empire, and there are many kobolds in the orc legion as grassroots officers.
"I've seen this arrow, it was done by a human scout."
The kobold squadron leader pulled out his arrow and said with great certainty.
Another kobold warrior shouted angrily, "I'll take a small group of soldiers and go to the forest to kill the enemy." ”
"It could be a trap."
"There aren't many elite soldiers in Harden Castle, and even if there are traps, the enemy's strength won't be very strong. Besides, as soon as the day dawns, the Harpy Inspector will arrive. There are inspectors in the sky to scout, and human soldiers can't escape the inspector's eyes at all. ”
Soon the kobold warriors lined up with a small group of kobolds and entered the jungle as skirmishers.
Following the trail left by Ron, the kobold entered Congli for about two kilometers and faintly spotted Ron's trace.
The kobold warrior immediately became very agitated and shouted at the soldiers to surround Ron.
In fact, the mission this time was to scout the enemy, and this battle could have been avoided, but Richard wanted to hunt the kobold professional and give the head to Ron for meritorious service, so he let Ron lure the enemy.
Finding that the enemy was within his range, Richard hid in the ambush site, held his breath, and decisively fired a deadly arrow.
Richard's archery skills have been upgraded to the fourth level, and he can shoot people in the eye at a distance of 100 meters. With his strength, coupled with the enchanted bow and arrow in his hand, the range reached eight hundred meters.
Shooting targets in the forest is not easy even for archers. Dense tree trunks can obscure the view, and the complex environment also affects the archer's perception.
This time, in order to ensure success, Richard had already placed the enemy very close.
The distance of four hundred meters, even in the forest, was nine out of ten for Richard.
With great energy, the arrow fiercely pierced the trunk of a thick bowl and stabbed into the soft belly of the kobold warrior, nailing it to a large tree.
Hit by an arrow, the kobold warrior was not dead for a while. Intense pain filled his mind, and a miserable howl came from his mouth.
The kobold professional was about to cut off the shaft of the arrow, the second arrow had already attacked, it hurriedly raised its arm shield to block, the arrow with great force, poofed through the arm shield, pierced the kobold's arm, and the arrow pierced deep into the kobold's mouth.
"Kill a first-order kobold and reward 500 experience points."
Once again, the properties panel hint came to mind.
Richard shot the kobold professional with two arrows, and Ron and Hayden also shot arrows, killing and wounding the two kobolds. Seeing that Richard's arrows were so ferocious, the remaining kobolds were immediately shocked, and they did not dare to support their injured companions, so they chose to flee in a panic.
Because he was not familiar with the terrain and enemy situation, Richard did not dare to risk the pursuit, opened his enchanted bow, and shot three kobold soldiers.
Shot the kobold pro and routed the kobold squad. Richard walked briskly over to the kobold's corpse and cut off the kobold's head.
The heads of orc professionals can be exchanged for military merit.
Richard carefully searched the body of the kobold pro, seized the kobold officer's weapon, and then put the kobold pro's head into a cloth bag and handed it to Ron, giving the order to retreat.
Seeing Richard give up his exploits to himself, Ron's face was suddenly a little shocked.
"Take it, exchange for the follow-up breathing method, and be promoted to a professional as soon as possible."
Ron took the cloth bag with some trepidation, and followed with mixed feelings.
Getting the head of a kobold professional is equivalent to making a war exploit, and after exchanging the breathing method, the identity of an advanced professional will be very different.
At this moment, Ron's heart was very happy.
At the same time, Ron, as the eldest brother, needs to be taken care of by his younger brother, and he is also a little ashamed in his heart.
Watching Richard's continuous meritorious service in the war, Ron complained in his heart about his father's injustice and failed to level a bowl of water.
As the eldest son, he was the first in line to the throne according to the laws of the kingdom, and Ron was never given preferential treatment by William, and his resources were given priority to Richard and Barron.
He often wondered, "What would happen if my father had invested his resources in himself?"
Maybe I'll become a professional, but it's hard to make a difference.
I am nine years older than Richard, and my archery skills are far inferior to that of Richard, a young man, and even if I have an enchanted bow and arrow in my hand, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shoot orc professionals accurately, and I will continue to make meritorious achievements. ”
Acknowledging one's ordinariness is also a difficult thing for young people
