Verse 28 follows

"Yes. Gander replied. "Much like you, coming here from the south alone. ”

"That man...... What's wrong?" Ashruphat picked up some hints in the other man's tone.

"Dead. Gander shrugged. "He's a great guy, but no matter how good he is, it's useless. He fought twenty men alone, outnumbered, and fought beautifully, and finally knocked out four opponents. But he himself hung up and was beheaded. Well, I'll be honest, that's my father. He paused. "All the southerners who come are amazing, and unfortunately, not everyone is as smart as you. ”

"Actually, we can all see it. You may say you're a chef, but I bet cooking is definitely not your specialty. You are a warrior. Seeing that Ashrufat was speechless, Gander continued.

"Huh. Not knowing what to answer, Ashruphat could only laugh.

"People from the south are either warriors or mages. Gander said. "And they're all very confident...... Quite a powerful one. It is said that they usually join the tribe they encounter first...... Or be killed by the first tribe you encounter. You are an exception. Speaking of which, the first time I've heard of someone from the south claiming to be a chef. ”

"Haha. ”

"But you're really good, and you're worthy of Claire. Gander continued. "You've never picked up a sword, but I'm sure you're a good weapon, aren't you?"

"Am I worthy?" Ashruphat ignored the second half of the sentence.

"Well, she's smart, beautiful, and has a lot of potential. In time, she will have a great future. I wouldn't be surprised if she replaced Asowen one day. ”

"I hope so. ”

"She's going to give you a lot of children. ”

"This ......," Ashruphat felt that there was no need to go on the topic. "This ...... Do you think the Wandering Hunter Tribe will lose?"

"Asowen thinks so, and I have no reason to think I'm any smarter than Asowen. ”

"But, as you said, the two sides are roughly equal in strength, and it's hard to predict the outcome or defeat. Ashrufat asked.

"There is a Chaos Lord in the Qajar tribe. Gander admitted. "Newly promoted. Maybe he is relatively weak among the Chaos Lords, but the Chaos Lord is the Chaos Lord, and he is much stronger than the Chaos Champion. The judgment of the divine will is that there will be absolutely no travel cuò. I also agree with Asowen, and I think it's clear that the battle will be won. ”

"That's not bad...... Ashrufat thought, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart to try not to have anything to do with the four evil gods.

"By the way, did you hear about something in the morning, Ned died. ”

Ashrufat did his best to feign surprise.

"The scouts we sent out found his body at dawn today. He was killed in the middle of nowhere, and his body was already a little decomposed. There were a lot of crows flying over there, and they saw the crows and knew that something was dead there. Gander said. "It is inferred that he was killed in a one-on-one duel. Seeing that Ashrufat didn't say anything, he added. "That move is so neat that some people say it's as neat as killing that abusive champion. ”

"You mean...... The same man?" Ashruphat had confirmed that it was not a temptation, but just a casual remark by Gander.

"It's very likely, even Asowen is uneasy. Gander said. "If I'm not mistaken, a very powerful wandering warrior is right next to us. The warrior ...... I'm afraid it's also a Chaos Lord. ”

Ashruphat already knew that the "Chaos Lord" had two concepts, one was to refer to a leader of the Chaos cultists with actual power, and the other was a group of Chaos Evil Gods divided among the believers based on ability. A group that belongs only to the strong. The former is one of the latter.

"Hostile to us?" asked Ashrufat deliberately.

"I'm afraid not. Gander replied. "He's just going to kill the guys who don't have long eyes to approach him as he pleases. Asowen had just notified all the scouts as quickly as he could, telling everyone to be careful. ”

The Scout's journey is not simple. At least, when it comes to reconnaissance, these Chaos believers, who are seen as "savages," know something that Southerners don't know.

"Look, this is what a team of hunters looks like. Don't look at the footprints, it's them clinging to the rocks to hide their tracks. Look at this stone, if it's not a horseshoe kicking off, then I'm a!" Gander skilfully examined the suspicious marks around him. "In a clever detour, at least fifty cavalrymen came around this side in the hope of making a surprise attack. ”

Ashrufat listened carefully to Gander's analysis. "Which side?"

"Who knows. But with this cavalry, I must be an old fox. Gander said. "He's been cautious all the way to this point. If it weren't for me, he'd probably have hidden it. Come to think of it, such a cavalry sneaked up to a certain position, and it didn't leave too many traces......"

"What do you mean......" Ashrufat thought for a moment. "Fifty cavalrymen, even a hundred, it doesn't make much sense to go around the battlefield. It's not a detour back to the enemy's side, it's a ......"

"Stealing camp!" the two men looked at each other and said the word at the same time.

The two of them had already known that all the combat power of the Wandering Hunter Tribe had been dispatched this time, and the troops left behind in the camp were almost not worth mentioning. That being the case, the Qajar tribe is undoubtedly also fully mobilized. At this moment, if there is a force that sneaks around the front line and goes to the empty base camp of the other side......

It was a fatal blow. If the rear is attacked by the enemy, then the morale of the troops on the front line will be extremely low.

"Cunning fellow. Gander said. "If it succeeds, it will probably decide the winner. ”

Ashrufat shook his head, "No, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

"Oh?"

"You said that the battle of life and death...... It's all about being cautious. In that case, how could the Wandering Hunter tribe make such a mistake?no doubt, even if it were not for such a cunning march...... You only need to go around in a big circle to achieve the purpose of sneaking up on the enemy's base camp. It only takes an extra day or two. A day or two...... The front-line fighting will not end in a day or two, which means that this sneak attack is bound to happen. ”

"What do you mean......"

"I guess this move of the whole army, leaving the women and children unprotected in the camp, is a ruse in itself. Ashrufat replied. "A trap, a trap with a tempting bait. ”

Gander's face changed. "Then we must repay Asowen. ”

"No, not necessarily. Ashrufat thought about it again. "Since Asowen is so optimistic about the newly promoted Chaos Lord, perhaps this sneak attack itself is a ploy. Think about it, what is the trap of the wandering hunters? A camp full of women and children who look incapacitated? I bet there must be a large number of warriors hidden inside, just waiting for the enemy to sneak up and then wipe them out! But this cavalry has only ...... Fifty, or a little more. Ashrufat said as he thought. "The strength of both sides is about 3,000...... Fifty, that's a tiny number. It's not a big deal to lose it. I get it. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"The roaming hunter tribe has set a trap to lure a detachment of enemies into and strangle them with fat bait. In this way, grasp the initiative in battle. However, the Qajar tribe will be counted. I reckon...... On the one hand, they sent this insignificant small force of fifty men, and on the other hand, they would launch a full-scale offensive at the front. It's a perfect strategy: if it's really stupid to wander around the hunter horde, a surprise sneak attack by fifty cavalrymen is enough to wreak havoc. If this is a military trap, then there are far less troops roaming the Hunters' front lines than they seem...... In other words, the Qajars had an overwhelming superiority in forces on the front. ”

"Ah...... Ah......h

"This means that I'm afraid this fight won't drag on for too long. Ashrufat said. "If the Chaos Lord personally leads the army to attack, plus the advantage of troops and the effect of surprise...... Perhaps, then, the Wandering Hunter Tribe will fail sooner than anyone expected. Let Asowen know. ”

Gander immediately pulled out the magic communication scroll from his body. This was made by Asowen to inform the military emergency.

After this debriefing, the two men moved on. Now, Ashrufat can truly learn Gander's scout skills. Unlike the Southerners' scouts, who relied on their eyes to search for enemies, Gander was more accustomed to looking for all the traces he needed from the ground. His eyes always find something that Eshurufat overlooked, and then deduce valuable information from it.

“...... That's right, this is the camp they camped out that night, just as I had assumed. Gander said. "It's a small outlying camp for scouts, which means the big camp of their army is on the front side...... If it weren't for the high alert, the scouts wouldn't have set up such a peripheral camp...... I think we're close to the battlefield. The place where they fought would not be too far from here...... Be careful, young man, keep up with me. You may be a good warrior, maybe your actual strength has the level of a god-chosen warrior, maybe you still have a lot of potential to tap, but the place we are going to is the battlefield. Now, there are thousands of ...... Even tens of thousands of people are fighting to the death for survival. You can't imagine how horrible that scene really is. ”

Ashruphat laughed and followed Gander.
