After Neo and Mach met, they summarized and some basic information came out.
In this Fort Worth, there are no less than 1,700 Red Ghosts gathered. These Cordym who come to Erdrit to hunt for prey for the winter are all qualified warriors. Just thinking about their destructive power makes people feel dizzy.
"Should we arrest the messenger? The few guards around him are not very smart. Even if it is the two of us, the success rate is very high."
Faced with Mach's rather tempting proposal, Neo thought carefully for a while, then looked at the sky and said: "I would actually prefer to arrest an interpreter. The messenger smells too "spicy".
"This is a bit difficult. Without special treatment, it is difficult to confirm."
Neo waved his hand, "That's just a good wish. We're just here to check for information this time. For now, the value of this low sewer is much higher than that of an interpreter and an envoy. It's getting late, let's go back!"
"Yeah!" Maher responded without saying anything more, and her evaluation of Neo was even higher in her heart. "It seems that I was worried that Neo was too young and didn't know how to choose. It was a bit redundant..."
When the two returned to the camp, they caught up with the team members taking an ice and snow bath. They smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, and Neo and Maher also joined them.
"This item is indeed very useful for concealment, but the breathability is too poor!" Maher took off her tights and showed Neo that not to mention the underwear, even the rubber armor was dripping wet, and she instantly froze at the sight of the cold wind.
Out of frost white
"I can't think of a good solution at the moment." Neo was also deeply touched. He did exercise a lot during the investigation, so much so that water can be squeezed out of the clothes inside. "By the way, remember to wash the tights with potion later."
"oh"……
During the mission, the team members exercise a lot every day, so there are no physical fitness subjects. After the ice and snow bath, they will conduct queue training for about half an hour to improve the team members' sense of discipline and cooperation, and then have breakfast.
After breakfast, there was a quarter of an hour break as usual. Using this time, Neo chatted with the team members about the situation in Fort Worth.
When the team members heard the number of enemies, most of them looked heavy.
"Too many! It's almost equal to the number of people in our migration team!"
Neo said: "Indeed, large numbers are the advantage of the Red Ghosts. So tell me, what are their disadvantages, and what are our advantages?"
"The Annull Mountains are no better than the Monstoke wilderness. Humans and beasts cannot run in the jungle here."
"The Red Ghosts don't know our existence yet, so we have at least one chance to strike by surprise."
"The captain said last time that the red ghost is very brave and fierce, his brain is not bright, and he cannot fight for a long time"...
Team members, you and I made comments, and there were more than ten comments of various kinds.
"The summary is good. They are more powerful in numbers, and we are less flexible. If we want to fight them, we must use our own strengths and attack their weaknesses. We must use brains, not strength. Moreover, we are not fighting alone. Moderate
By using the reinforcements from the migration team, it is entirely possible to catch the opponent by surprise."
With Neo's mobilization and encouragement, the team members regained some confidence. One team member asked: "Captain, are you going to set a trap for them?"
"Clever! To fight the red ghosts, we'll start with the woodland trap"...
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Neo set off with everyone, and finally found the ambush site in the jungle area just south of Fort Watts - Banpo Woodland
This woodland seems to have been hit hard by a giant hammer on the slope. It has concave earth walls on three sides and is surrounded by flat open space with few trees. It is considered an ideal camping site.
"Okay, here it is, build a temporary camp according to our usual specifications, pay attention to the details!"
The team members took action under the command of Barritt, while Neo took Mach and Bogram to survey the surrounding terrain and arrange to lay out ambush points and traps.
"This is a suitable place for pulling a trip rope. Look at these two sides. The trees are so dense that humans and beasts can't get through. You can only walk from here and pay attention to the top. Humans and beasts have very good vertical jumping abilities. We have to consider what they will do when they jump... This
The branches are suitable for Tibetans. Mahe, go up there and let’s see if it’s easy to find..."
As time goes by, the trap area is gradually improved through the hard work of everyone.
Today is a typical winter haze day. Even though it is already noon, the sun is still like an eternal flame hanging behind the gauze curtain. The brightness and heat make people lazy to pay attention to it. However, the wind is blowing very vigorously, emitting
A series of sounds, coming and going
A group of routine red ghost detectives arrived here in disinterest, but soon became excited. They saw the smoke rising from the forest, blown by the wind, and mixed with the broken snow.
"It's human beings. They believe too much in the power of the wind!" The red ghost who discovered the situation looked quite proud.
"Hey! What a nice surprise, brothers, we have extra meat slaves to share!" The leader, Red Ghost Tanqi, happily announced this news to his 10 red ghosts.
"I wish I had kids. The last time I saw them eating cold carpaccio, they made me hungry!"
"I hope to be assigned a skilled slave girl, like the slave girl in Monto, who won't change the five ordinary ones!"
"Whatever, I like hunting those guys!"
"Chief, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, let's go explore the situation first." To be able to become the squad leader, the leader of the Red Ghost finally has some scheming intentions.
The most astute red ghost took the lead to investigate the situation and quickly brought back the news: more than 10 young humans were eating and no sentry was found.
The red ghosts were very satisfied with this situation. They were all eager to try, staring at their leader, waiting for an order.
Hunting is as common as breathing for the Cordyms. They usually don't have any particularly complicated plans, such as enveloping, attacking together, and driving away. That's pretty much it. The rest depends on individual performance and each other.
A tacit understanding
"Surround, start a reactionary attack from inside, and drive those humans out of the forest." The leader had a little excitement on his face, talking and gesticulating. After encountering a sudden attack, he would usually run in the opposite direction instinctively. The red ghost leader's arrangement,
It is the use of such a simple psychological tactic
The action has begun. The Red Ghost Scouts are crouching low and sneaking towards the camp.
After confirming the target's situation, the leader of the Red Ghosts issued an order to let his subordinates start to make a detour. It didn't take long. Those on the east and west sides were confirmed to enter combat positions. The Red Ghosts used a method to communicate with each other.
Guttural sounds can easily be confused with wind whistles to outsiders.
The Red Ghost Scouts continued to wait, waiting for the most critical thing, the three members responsible for the north to get into position and launch the offensive.
As a result, there was no movement for a long time. Seeing those humans getting into the tents talking and laughing, the leader of the Red Ghost decided not to wait any longer. The three tents were all close to the earth wall several meters high. They only needed to rush over and open the door.
The opponent couldn't escape even if they wanted to. It was a rare opportunity. The leader of the red ghosts whistled, and then rushed towards the camp with the other two red ghosts.
Pressed from three sides, it only took more than ten seconds to surround the camp's exit. The leader of the Red Ghost was quite satisfied with his team's performance, but the three team members responsible for attacking from the north were still missing, which made him suspicious.
"Get rid of these humans first!" From the perspective of the Red Ghost leader, what needs to be done now is basically to pack up and leave, cut the ropes, and the tents are just pockets, and those humans can't use their fists or kicks if they want to fight.
"Ah!" A roar suddenly came from one of the tents, and what came out was an arrow!
Bang! The red ghost leader successfully defended with his shield
"You are indeed a cowardly and useless waste! Come on!" the leader of the Red Ghost shouted, holding his shield, and rushed forward.
Boom! The bowstring sounds again
The leader of the red ghost thought at that time: "What a stupid move!" It almost instinctively put the shield in front of it to protect it, but it died. This time, two arrows flew, and the real fatal arrow came from behind.
His masterpiece is called "Hidden Arrow"
In order to deal with this Red Ghost Detective Cavalry, Neo, Mach, Barritt, and Wiz formed the first ambush group. They all wore tights and the four of them successfully killed the three Red Ghosts who made a large circle from the north, and then quickly
We took a detour to the south end of the camp and then carried out a counter-raid.
Almost in front and back, after Mach shot the leader of the red ghost, Neo also used two consecutive shots to kill a red ghost from behind. Barritt and Wiz's results were a little worse. The two were not as fast as Mach and Neo.
The shooting distance was relatively long and only one red ghost was injured.
After losing their leader and one of them dead and one injured, even if the situation was so bad, the remaining red ghosts still did not disperse. Except for those who gathered and turned around to take precautions, two red ghosts also chose to continue to pounce on the camp with a tacit understanding. At this time, they
I no longer want to take prisoners, but want to silence them
Neo's side had already taken precautions against such a situation. In fact, the tent was designed like a typical 'rabbit hole', with three cunning rabbit holes. Borglem and the others who acted as bait, as soon as they entered the tent, they directly followed the dug tunnel.
After leaving the three tents, there was only one person in the middle, Edward. He ranked third in the team in archery. He was the one who fired cold arrows.
There were only 6 Red Ghosts left in the field at this time, and one of them still had an arrow wound. When they found that the camp was empty, the members of the Gale Team who had been lurking in the ice and snow for more than an hour completed the encirclement.
greet with bow and arrow
Despite their advantage, the long-range shooting abilities of the members of the Gale Team were so mediocre that the six Red Ghosts still had a chance to break through to the southwest despite the rain of arrows.
Neo whistled, and according to the previous agreement, the arrow shooting stopped. Wiz and Barritt rushed forward and worked together to entangle a red ghost. Mach and Neo each entangled one, leaving three, including the injured Yudi.
The remaining two faced trip wires, nets and the pursuit of 20 people.
With a dragnet and a net of siege and interception, the Red Ghost Detective Cavalry team launched an attack and were finally annihilated in 11 minutes. It must be said that such a result is really not very good, but compared to a grassroots civilian team, such a result has already been achieved by Neo.
Quite satisfied. Not to mention that during the battle, he also absorbed the vitality of several red ghosts and gained some new technical inspiration.
Now Neo's 'Life Intake' skill has become more handy, especially after the power attribute became dark, he found that the speed and sensitivity of the skill have increased a lot, so much so that in the battle just now, he suddenly came up with an unusual
The prototype of a compromise skill that is as popular as 'Life Intake', Neo named it 'Life Steal'
Obviously, this skill still has many details that need to be solved, but the vitality that can be achieved by 'touching' makes Neo very optimistic about the future of this skill. After all, he can multi-task.
It's also perfectly possible to stay in Steal mode, so that every contact he makes with an opponent will deal extra damage.
"Is anyone hurt?"
"I sprained my ankle!"
"My arm was scratched!"
"My leg was scratched by tree stubble!"
"any left?"
"Very good, zero casualties. We have won a great victory this time." Neo greeted the team members, "But now is not the time to celebrate. We can also conduct another ambush. Now, clean the battlefield and restore Borglem to its original state.
You take a few people to take charge of the west side, Biqier, you take people to take charge of the east side... Pay attention to the details, I will check later, if you are injured, follow me now."
Although it was a minor injury, Neo was not stingy with healing skills. He used the Pearl of Life 3 times and the problem was solved. Neo himself was secretly relieved. He was previously worried about whether the change in his strength attributes would affect the healing skills.
Now judging from the technical performance and effects, it is obvious that it has not been affected.
After everything was properly arranged in the woodland, Neo led people to set up a fake battlefield, right on the edge of the woodland. Neo defined this fake battlefield as: a murder scene that had some unprofessional cleanup work done.
When doing this work, Neo once again emphasized "use your brain and pay attention to details." In order to strive for realism, Neo even sent someone to hold Wiz on his side and use Red Ghost's weapon to leave slash marks on the trees. Wiz's strength and Red Ghost's
The ghost looks similar, and only by setting it up can it more closely match the standing height of the red ghost.
While they were busy making arrangements, Neo asked White Socks to deliver a letter before Valentina arrived. After Valentina learned about the situation, she rushed over.
"How's it going with the migration team?"
"Some people are grateful, and some people cry bitterly. The two most popular words today are miracles. The acting lord now estimates that even if Diff says that he can restore Erdrit with a stick and a hoe, everyone will be willing to follow suit. Have you not seen that?
The scene can only be described as frenzied.”
Neo said half-truthfully: "I was just afraid of seeing that disgusting scene, so I ran out to you early. Are you jealous of Dave's popularity?"
"A little bit," Valentina said, rolling her eyes at Neo, "You are a bad guy. I originally wanted to be a good lord!"
Neo took over and said: "As a result, what happened this time made you realize that doing well is not as good as acting?"
"Is this really like this?" Although it was not as exaggerated as Neo described it, Valentina was indeed shaken in her heart.
"I personally think that in the long run, hard work comes first. This incident mainly highlights the importance of 'publicity'. Also, doing more is worse than doing it skillfully. If everyone wants delicious food, you just have to keep them there." Even if you replace your thatched cottage with a mansion, you won’t get full marks.”
Valentina nodded thoughtfully, "This statement was introduced to us, Mathias, to solve the problem of poverty."
"That's right. As a result, the best implementation of various government orders is the military, which you are good at. In the end, you are poor and tyrannical."
Valentina punched Neo, "My family has worked hard to solve this problem, but Mashua doesn't have the resources..."
Neo interrupted: "In my opinion, if someone has land, that's enough. The key is here." Neo pointed to his head and continued: "If you can't do it yourself, you can hire someone, the Mashua cavalry, you can."
Become a Mashua infantryman, but you still don’t have enough money. You can borrow money as a mortgage, but others can learn on your own. If you lack knowledge, then go travel outside. In the history books I have read, it seems that no famous knight is suppressed in his own territory.
Become a master”
“Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles?”
"No, it means reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles without reading them to death, and not just seeing the scenery on the way."
Valentina smiled and said: "Then you have caused great harm to Pastor Nolinde. He plans to return to the seminary for further studies after the matter is over."
Neo was startled and shrugged, "This is really unexpected. I thought he would choose the path of a fighting monk, but I didn't expect him to go to school"...
The conversation between the two quickly came to the current topic. When it came to the military content, Valentina's excellent side was quickly revealed.
"I think we should arrange it like this!" Valentina proposed a series of combat plans, which also involved using the armed forces of the migration team.
