Chapter 92 The Mantis Catching the Cicada
Just when Levi was huddled in a corner of Crowwood with an entire Ice Blade Knights brigade, Harland rode a fast horse towards the Colored Stone Village that he had agreed with Yaqis before. Run.
To be honest, Levi didn't have high expectations for the hunters summoned by Yaqis.
First of all, it was equivalent to Yaqis to gather men from Hebend Village two or three days after the orc detachment that penetrated the rear and massacred Hebend Village. This was already a big delay for the orcs.
What's more, it takes time for Yaqis to gather people. Even if the hunters are familiar with the environment of the Evernight Forest and move much faster than the orcs, Levi still thinks that the chance of the hunters catching up with the orcs is low.
Moreover, the strength of the hunters is really limited. Both in terms of individual soldier quality and quantity, they are far inferior to the fourth brigade of the Ice Blade Knights.
Therefore, in this operation, Li Wei's biggest reliance was on the ice knights of this brigade. Even if the hunter in the Evernight Forest died, it would only be the icing on the cake. At most, after defeating the werewolves, he would use his familiarity with the terrain to act as a guide, allowing Levi to expand his victory.
Of course, just because the hunters in the Evernight Forest can't be used this time doesn't mean they won't be used next time. When the time comes, Li Wei will have to stay in the Evernight Forest to fight guerrillas, and then the value of these hunters will be reflected.
Now Levi just wants to look familiar.
As time went by, the camp hidden in a corner of Crowwood gradually became restless.
"Baron Monterey, how long do we have to wait?" On this day, Siegfried, who was already a little impatient, couldn't help asking Levi.
"You have been refusing to disclose the purpose of this trip. You just let hundreds of us hide in this inhospitable place.
I know you mean to let us hide, but this is not enemy-occupied territory, this is the territory of the kingdom. Who are we avoiding by lurking like this?
Moreover, there is no way to withdraw all the sentries and hidden sentries. If there is any change outside, we will not even have any news, even if we are surrounded by others, we will not know.
Lurking is not about I have become blind myself, and I very much question the rationality of your decision!"
"Captain Siegfried, please don't get excited. I do have my reasons for lurking here, but it's not convenient for me to reveal them to you." To be honest, wait. After so many days, no trace of the orcs was seen, and Levi himself was a little shaken.
"As for what you said about our camp becoming deaf and blind, you don't actually need to care. I have investigative methods." "
Oh? What method? Why didn't I see it, except for the expat dispatch a few days ago? Knight, you have never sent anyone out." Siegfried sneered.
Levi pointed to the sky and said: "I am a wizard, and my means are in the sky."
At this time, Fat Zi was floating in the sky a thousand meters above the ground, carefully monitoring the movements of Crowdrop Forest. The situation in the dense forest cannot be seen clearly, but Li Wei only needs to pay attention to the grain team that passes through the road every day.
At this time, Siegfried could not refute. Wizards had many methods. As for whether there was really a way to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, it was not impossible.
Siegfried narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Levi: "Okay, Baron Monterey, if we end up just messing around here for a few days, I will report the matter truthfully."
Levi He chuckled and shook his head, not prepared to argue with Siegfried.
——————————
Near noon, as a group of crows were startled, a large-scale grain transport team slowly entered the boundary of the Crow Forest. Li Wei couldn’t help but cheer up and walked through Fat Purple. Pay attention to the movements of this team from a perspective.
At this moment, in Crowfall Forest, a group of werewolves were lurking quietly through the dense forest.
"Lord Mu Ren, today the food transport team from the Fontaine Kingdom has arrived at the scheduled time."
"Oh?" Mu Ren, who had been in a state of sleep, suddenly opened his wolf eyes, and a ruthless and fierce light pierced from his eyes. Come out and say, "Give the order, stay hidden, act according to the original plan, and try not to let anyone escape!"
According to Du Ren's observation over the past two days, there will be a food team transporting food to the frontline camp near noon every day in Luo Yalin. However, the grain transport team did not go here when they returned. They might have taken another trail that was closer but in poor road conditions. If they can keep these food transport troops clean enough, maybe something happened here, and the food transport team passing by the next day will find out. In this way, this group of werewolves will definitely have enough time to escape.
As the creaking of wheels became more intensive, a huge motorcade slowly broke into Dusk Blade's sight.
This was a grain transport team consisting of 500 soldiers, 2,000 civilians, and nearly 500 mules and carriages.
To be honest, although such a food transport team is vulnerable in Du Ren's eyes and can be easily taken down, it is still very difficult to kill all the opponents without missing a beat.
After all, there are only a thousand werewolves on one side. Even if the quality of the individual soldiers is very high, they can definitely kill these civilians in a few rounds or even in one encounter, but no one can be sure about things like fish slipping through the net.
Time passed little by little, and the team, which stretched for nearly two kilometers, finally slowly entered the ambush circle preset by Dusk Blade.
At this time, Mila, the grain transport officer who was riding a tall horse and located at the front of the grain team, surrounded by three hundred soldiers, felt that something was wrong. The surroundings were too quiet.
"Stop the march!" Mira raised her right hand, and the entire team slowly stopped.
At this time, Li Wei also discovered the grain transport troops that suddenly stopped, and hurriedly summoned Siegfried and issued instructions to prepare for battle.
"Sir, what's going on?" One of Mira's cronies came on horseback with a solemn look on his face.
"Something's wrong. When we first entered the Crow Forest, there were a group of crows that were startled, but when we got to this section, it was quiet."
"Who!"
Mira suddenly shouted loudly, raised her hand and shot an arrow into the dense forest. go.
Amidst a burst of screams, an arrow full of fighting spirit was shot straight at a huge boulder in the forest. After the boulder exploded, a colorful tiger jumped out from behind the stone and let out a frightening roar.
"It turns out to be a beast. If you are above level 3, come with me and get rid of it!"
This red-eyed tiger with a level 4 level couldn't help but make Mira happy to see it. This kind of tiger monster is rare. His collection was short of a high-quality tiger skin.
Soon, with Mira, the fifth-level Silver Moon shooter, and many elite soldiers working together to strangle, a fourth-level red-eyed tiger skin was included in Mira's collection.
"Haha, I didn't expect there was an unexpected harvest here."
At this moment, Mira was in an extremely relaxed and happy mood. For him, the job of escorting grain and grass was like being a monk working against the clock for a day. Not only would he not get any military merit, but he would also be abnormal. Boring and boring. Hunting for this nice tiger skin is just a break from this boring time.
The team that had just paused continued to move forward along the road. What Mira didn't know was that the clenched fists of Dusk Blade, who was ambushing in the dense forest at this moment, relaxed again.
And Li Wei asked Siegfried to cancel the battle preparations with an embarrassed look on his face. Siegfried didn't say anything more, but just looked at Li Wei with a sneer. Even though Mr. Li Wei was so shameless at the corner of the city wall, he couldn't help but feel his face. It felt a little hot, and my toes dug out of the three bedrooms and one living room.
Du Ren, who was lurking in the dense forest, looked at the food transport troops getting closer and closer. His unclenched fists could not help but clenched again, and he stared straight at them, not daring to relax at all.
"Do it!" Accompanied by a shrill howl of wolves, countless elite werewolves jumped out from the gentle slopes on both sides of the road and rushed towards the food transport team!
