Sawin stood on a high place with his arms crossed, staring at the dense forest in front of him, and many doubts in his heart were naturally answered. On the way here, he had been thinking about why the elves didn't block or harass them during their march, and now he understood that the lush jungle in front of him was the best barrier for the elf tribe, and they didn't need to run far to stop them, as long as they were here to work at ease.

The current expeditionary army can be described as exhausted, coupled with the geographical advantage, it is simply impossible to annihilate the elven tribe in one battle. Savin thought to himself: "I don't know what kind of idea Exewin will have to give the expeditionary army a final victory, but just looking at the current situation, the expeditionary army has no advantage at all. ”

"My lord, the meal is ready, please come and dine. While Savan was pondering, Celia suddenly came running and asked him to eat.

Due to the agreement with the tree people not to use fire, everyone came by gnawing on the hard dry food along the way, and when they arrived here, they could finally eat a hot meal, and everyone in the army seemed to be elated.

Although they were all very ordinary meals, they were already delicious compared to dry food, and the whole camp was full of "snoring" and "snoring" and "chirping" smacking, and everyone was desperately stuffing food into their mouths as if they had never eaten in eight lifetimes.

The chiefs all sat down to eat together, and the others naturally distanced themselves from them, and there was a clear hierarchy between the upper and lower ranks. Will Knight held the soup bowl in one hand and the jerky in the other, and said in a muffled voice as he chewed: "I don't think this battle will necessarily be difficult to fight, I haven't seen the shadow of half an elf at all along the way, maybe they will be scared away." ”

But Prince disagreed, he shook his head and said, "I don't think so, the elves are not goblins, they will not be cowardly like this, they will definitely ambush in the dense forest." The biggest problem now is how to get through this dense forest without losing too much. ”

Di Maru also said: "Lord Prince is right, in the dense forest is the world of elves, they are all skilled in archery, if you want to pass safely, I think you have to think of some special methods." Everyone else nodded in agreement, although they had never fought each other, but the elves were good at archery was the consensus of everyone on the continent, and there was no better weapon than a bow and arrow in such a dense forest.

Seeing that everyone was a little at a loss, Exewin seemed to be a little unconfident about the war, so Exewin encouraged: "Don't be too pessimistic, don't forget that I am an elf, I understand their weaknesses and strengths, as long as we grasp the key point, we don't have to go deep into the dense forest, it is completely possible to attract them, then they will have no advantage at all." ”

Everyone listened to this idea is good, but the specific method is still not clueless, Axevin smiled: "Don't worry, let's take a good rest first, I believe there will be a way." ”

That night, Exewin set up a duty schedule, lined up people in several shifts to take turns to watch the night, and also arranged for people to light bonfires in different places and at different distances, so that the camp was surrounded by bonfires, if the elves wanted to sneak attack, they would definitely be discovered, as long as the person in charge of the night patrol did not step out of the encirclement of the bonfire, the elves' bows and arrows could not be shot.

Everything was arranged, everyone should be on duty at night, sleep when they should sleep, and the night passed without anything happening.

After a night's sleep, everyone's fatigue was relieved, and the camp resumed to talk and laugh, and early in the morning Exewin called the leaders for a meeting. After this period of getting along, there was no need for any more politeness between each other, and as soon as he came up, Axevin said straight to the point: "I thought about it last night, and there is a solution that may be worth trying." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, they didn't expect to have a way so soon, so they all pricked up their ears and waited to hear Exewin's idea.

"Here's the way...... Exewin straightened up and said, "Every elven tribe will have a spring or a well as a place of sacrifice, this place has a special meaning for the elves, if we can find this place and occupy it, the elven tribe will definitely try their best to take it back, and then they will have to fight with us." ”

After hearing this, everyone thought about it in their hearts, but there were still many unclear points about this plan, such as what such a spring or well looked like, and where to find it, these are all questions......

Di Maru was the first to speak, "That's a good idea, but how can we find out what you said about a spring or a well?" Di Maru's question was echoed by the others, and that was exactly what they wanted to ask.

Exewin replied, "As far as I know, this elven tribe is a branch of the wood elves, and the totems that the wood elves worship are usually plants, so the place we are looking for should have totems related to plants or some special plants. ”

After listening to Exewin's words, everyone was still confused, so Axevin had to find a pen and paper, and roughly drew something like a pillar on it, with some patterns engraved on it. She showed the drawings to the crowd, and then said, "The totem pole of the wood elves probably looks like this, or something like this, in short, you can recognize it as soon as you see it, as long as you find something like this by the spring or well, it is likely that it is the place where they make sacrifices." ”

At last the crowd understood, but a new question arose, and Di Maru asked again: "Where should we go to find it, or where are such places usually?"

Exewin said helplessly: "I can't say this either, maybe in the forest, maybe near the stream, the place of worship is always quieter or beautiful, and no one will make the sacred sacrifice in a dirty and messy place." ”

Seeing that Exewin was uncertain, everyone couldn't help but secretly cry out in their hearts, when would such a large dense forest have to be found, not to mention that the dense forest may be ambushed at any time, this is really not a human job...... But we can't think of a better way at the moment, so we can only try it as Exewin said.

After the meeting was dismissed, the leaders each went down and instructed their men to prepare to start the search mission, to be on the safe side, in groups of ten people, and to carry fireworks with them, and to immediately set off fireworks to call for help if they found the enemy. After everything was arranged, everyone began to eat, and then they divided into groups and began to search.

Exewin also led a group of people to search, but left Sawin and his archers to guard the camp, which made Sawin a little annoyed, such an interesting thing did not allow him to participate, how boring it was to guard the camp. However, Exewin refuted Sahain with a big reason, "It is also important to protect the safety of the camp, if the enemy takes the camp to the end, we will lose first without fighting." ”

Seeing that everyone left the camp in turn, Sawan sighed in boredom, and Celia saw that Sawan was uncomfortable, so she said to him, "My lord, why don't I teach you archery?"

Sawin listened and said, "It's good to learn archery, but it's idle anyway." ”

So Celia found a bow and began to seriously explain to Sawan how to use the bow and arrow, Celia was born in a traditional knight family, and bows and swords were compulsory courses since childhood, and they were all taught by famous teachers, and it took years to practice just pulling the bow.

Sawan had never learned archery, he didn't need a bow or arrow at sea, and he never thought of learning archery when he came to land, but he did it purely to pass the time.

Celia demonstrated it herself, and then handed the bow to Sawan for him to practice along, while Celia instructed on the side: "Pay attention, when drawing the bow, your eyes should look ahead, don't look at the bow and arrows, breathe steadily, and use even force...... "Celia just said this, only to hear a "boom", Sawan had already pulled the bowstring off.

"Oops, this thing is too unstable, it breaks with a light pull. Samin said with a depressed expression.

"Ahh

"How did I know that this thing was so useless, I see that usually you pull the bow and shoot arrows one by one so that your face is flushed, and it must take a lot of effort, but it breaks before I can use any force. Sawan said innocently.

Celia said dejectedly: "It seems that ordinary bows are not suitable for you at all, unless it is a super strong hard bow, how can it withstand your hard work." ”

Narros, who had been watching them toss and turn, said, "Lord, bows and arrows are not for you, so let me teach you how to throw darts." ”

"No, how can you throw darts before you know how to shoot archery, and that's not something knights should learn......" Celia said at once.

"Who said knights can't throw darts......"

The two women argued one by one, and Sawin only felt like flies flying into his ears, and he was about to run away while covering his ears, when suddenly there was a "bang" explosion, and a cloud of smoke appeared in the sky above the dense forest.
