Chapter 14: Bait
Eyebrows raised, Kahler's face with a hint of sneer flashed with surprise, it seems that this Lupis is not a fool, his retreat seems simple, but if he goes in, there will definitely be a problem, so whether to enter or not to enter, it is a difficult choice, if you enter, you will leak strength, if you don't enter, wait until the sun rises tomorrow, whether the orc troops who have been suffering all night can still maintain their combat effectiveness is another matter.
The clouds in the sky still haven't dispersed, and under the light of the fire, Carry's face looks a little uncertain, but from beginning to end, he has maintained a confident look, from the secret whistle that kills the other party to the assassination of the employer of the Green Dragon Mercenary Regiment, he has performed very well, and there is no better grasp of human nature than him in the entire team, so when he heard Lupis's movements, his surprise lasted for a moment.
"Since he wants to see our strength, then let's just be generous and let him take his time. ”
Inside the Eye of Hope.
"Commander, the enemy has been found at the entrance!" A mercenary in charge of observation reported to Lupis in a rather nervous tone, as night fell, several people were killed by the other party without even touching the shadow of the other party, and now, the entire mercenary group fell into an inexplicable panic, they were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of death.
Lupis looked at the subordinate in front of him, and said calmly: "What are you nervous about, is the other party all here?"
"No, there were only twenty of them, ten of them werewolves, two rat men, seven minotaurs, and one human. ”
"Humans, is it the target?" Lupis's eyelids jumped when he heard the number, which was slightly different from what he expected, and it seemed that the other party was also a very cautious person, at least he knew how to explore the way to avoid the annihilation of the army.
"Report to the head of the group, probably not, it's a young man in his early twenties, who seems to be the employer of the orc mercenaries. ”
"Employer?" Lupis's eyelids jumped, and the other party suddenly threw out this information, he must have his own intentions, his employer was killed, and the other party also put his own employer in this pathfinder team, in order to let Lupis know that you can also kill our employer, but this is based on the premise that you have this ability.
Lupis looked at his subordinates with some embarrassment, and hesitated a little in his heart, the other party seemed to have guessed his purpose, after he fell into chess, the other party put himself in a dilemma as soon as he made a move, and it was not wise to leak his strength in order to destroy these twenty people, but if these twenty people were allowed to shuttle in the eyes of hope, I am afraid that there would be other problems.
"You pick sixty people, expel them, remember, do not leave the Eye of Hope, lest they fall into a siege. After saying that, he patted the shoulder of this subordinate and asked him to go down to pick people, while he climbed the steep slope on the side and paid close attention to the situation of the two sides.
Soon this subordinate picked out sixty people, after checking the weapons and equipment, rushed out of the forest of the oasis, the orcs moved forward cautiously, and the mercenaries attacked quickly, this slow and fast, so that Lupis felt that he could still take the lead, as long as these twenty people were expelled, the other party should send more people, no more, three waves were enough for him to judge how his enemy's combat effectiveness was.
The two sides soon discovered each other, and the twenty people on the opposite side stood in a diamond shape, and the guards each put two minotaurs as guards, looking at their formation, I am afraid that they still want to compete with their own men, which is really a stupid idea......
The shouting of killing came quickly, and the smug smile on Lupis's face also froze on his face, when he woke up, the screams had already come one after another, sixty-one mercenaries, the highest was a second-level martial god, and the lowest was also a third-level martial artist, but one of his subordinates actually fell directly to the ground, and even Lupis, who had been watching them, didn't know what was going on.
When the twenty people on the opposite side withdrew from the Eye of Hope, Lupis suddenly had an inexplicable sense of fear, that dazzling combat skills, swift, ruthless, his own men did not have time to react at all, and were directly chiseled through this diamond-shaped phalanx, and then there was a one-sided massacre, and none of the sixty-one people were spared.
There is no need to wait for the second wave of temptation, the combat effectiveness of this orc mercenary has completely exceeded his expectations, and he wants to suppress the other party with his numbers, which is simply nonsense, Lupis looked at the staggered corpses under the mountain with a pale face, whether it is in his mouth or in his heart, it is bitter and uncomfortable, a sense of powerlessness rises from the bottom of his heart, Lupis knows that he is really afraid.
What he was afraid of was the fusion of the orc forces and Calle, because according to intelligence, although this second prince rarely appeared in the empire, no one would ignore this second prince who still had the strength to compete for the pinnacle of power in the empire.
It is said that the deduction ability of this second prince is almost unrivaled in the empire, and now he uses the simplest and rude method to tell himself that if he continues to block the eye of hope, these sixty-one people will be the final fate of the Green Dragon Mercenary Group.
Outside the Eye of Hope, "More than sixty people, it seems that he should not need a second temptation, I don't know how he reacted when he saw the sixty or so corpses, and then we have to do this......" Kahler's eyes were bright, but the confidence on his face became more and more obvious, and the tone of his voice began to become harder and harder, as if he had completely entered his role.
The trust of the orcs was reported in his hands, and a mercenary group of more than two hundred people lost at least a quarter at the hands of Cale, which was enough.
"If I were Lord Lupis, I'm afraid I would have hid as far away as I would have been. After hearing Calle's plan, the werewolf captain had an expression of disbelief on his face, and even he who had seen the world was shocked by Calle's plan to exhaust himself.
Inside the Eye of Hope.
"Report to the head of the regiment, someone has come in at the entrance again. ”
Lupis's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people?"
"Report to the head of the group, ten people, the target is also among them, and the rest are werewolves. "The news of the annihilation of the more than sixty people sent before has long spread in the regiment, and the panic has become even deeper in the Green Dragon Mercenary Regiment, and even Lupis will show a trace of unnaturalness in the process of culture, and his voice is a little trembling.
The frowning eyebrows tightened even tighter, Lupis didn't know what to do now, the scene of those twenty people slaughtering his subordinates lingered in his mind, the two sides only fought for one round, and he had already lost nearly one-third of his combat power, those people were all old fritters who had experienced a hundred battles, and there were martial god-level powerhouses in them! But in the eyes of those twenty people, it was as easy as cutting melons and chopping vegetables, as long as they fought each other, they rarely lasted three rounds.
Simple, precise, ruthless, every shot is enough to kill, Lupis doesn't even know how he finished reading, the kind of confidence before, was smashed in front of these twenty orcs, such a powerful mercenary team, where should he go?
Obviously, the nature of these ten people is the same as the previous twenty people, the purpose is to lure themselves to send a small number of people to attack, and then gradually weaken their own combat effectiveness......
Wait, no!
The other party is a smart person, the same method is used twice in front of a person, there must be something strange, in the case of the previous loss of combat power, he must attack with all his strength this time, after all, the other party is only ten people, and including the target, the other party should know the number of the Green Dragon mercenary group, so once he goes all out, he will definitely be known by the other party, he is obviously very powerful, but he always uses this trick of stealing chickens and dogs, and the person who makes the plan is really ruthless and vicious to the extreme.
If there is an ambush on the other side, where will it be?
Lupis quickly recalled the terrain of the Eye of Hope, after entering, it was an open field, there was almost no cover, no matter who came in, it would be exposed, considering that the other party still had a rat man, so the bunker did not seem to be a big problem for the enemy in front of him, and the rest was the orcs with amazing combat effectiveness, their attacks included three aspects: far, medium and near, long-distance spear throwing, medium distance axe throwing, and close-range fighting, this is completely the army's style of play, and the previous defeat also had this part of the reason for this.
"The order goes down, we don't move. "This is the best way Lupis can think of now, as long as he does not move, he can maintain the oppression of the Eye of Hope, the other party obviously does not want to pay casualties easily, in this case, then let them not retreat.
As long as they are still in the eye of hope, then they will not dare to enter rashly, and as long as they enter, conflicts cannot be avoided, and casualties are naturally inevitable.
Lupis was just rejoicing at his thoughts, when he heard another subordinate in charge of surveillance hurrying over, his face full of solemnity, as if he had discovered something important.
"Commander, they're fetching water, should we ......?"
This subordinate did not continue, because Lupis had already stood up suddenly, his face was how ugly and ugly it was, the lake in the Eye of Hope was not completely in the center, but biased towards the entrance position, as long as the water could be obtained, then the other party could not even enter the Eye of Hope, and it was okay to go around directly, these ten people were still bait, but they were shocked by the previous scene, and they did not shoot at the first time, and now they are dispatched, I am afraid it is too late, and the speed of ten people taking water is definitely greater than the speed at which they lead people to chase and kill.
I'm afraid that the other party has already completed the work of fetching water and has begun to withdraw from the Eye of Hope, right?
If the other party continues to fetch water, then it will be a joke to be stationed here, and it will not pose any threat to the enemy outside.
Is the other party's commander an orc? Why can they play such a ruthless chess move, and this fall actually turns their carefully prepared killing game into a completely useless effort!
