Beast Summoner

General Li did not take advantage of everyone's high spirits to continue to attack the orcs. Although everyone was as if they were drunk, it was only a temporary boost in morale.

His purpose is just to cheer them up. After all, there will be a battle later. If everyone's morale is low, there is no need to fight, just pack up and run away.

When he is not absolutely sure, he will not easily send people to fight again. Otherwise, if he loses again, the faith he has finally built up for everyone may fall apart. By then, even if he is the God of War, he may not be able to recover.

of strength.

In fact, General Li had already guessed that the matter was not that simple. He also expected that the heavy cavalry would be defeated, so he had prepared shield troops to respond in advance. He just did not expect that the two thousand heavy cavalry would be defeated miserably, and they would be defeated so quickly.

He felt a little unprepared.

Niu Fu didn't do anything wrong. The biggest mistake was that he chose to charge head-on without exploring the path.

Heavy cavalry is meant to charge. Only heavy cavalry legions with extremely high speed can be intimidating. Heavy cavalry without speed can only be a living target for others to slaughter.

It stands to reason that the orcs should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory now, because this is the best time. As long as the morale of the human race is completely destroyed in one go, the human soldiers will be no different from lambs to be slaughtered.

However, the orcs did not move at all, as if nothing had happened before. Even the centaur strong archers who had just fought were replaced. It seemed that they were only used to prevent the humans from continuing to attack.

In fact, General Li has arranged for his Guards to be ready for battle. These Guards are his direct troops and have strong combat effectiveness. The lowest-ranking people are all Black Iron Warriors.

The Guards and Black Iron Warriors have extremely strong teamwork skills and can also display strength comparable to ordinary Silver Warriors.

Of course, there is a gap between them and real Silver Warriors, but they can deal with Black Iron Warrior-level soldiers with ease. Unless the Orcs attack in an all-out manner, they will only launch a small-scale local war, which will only increase casualties.

Although the Orcs are born warriors, most of the lowest level warriors are only at the bronze or brass level. They are just better than humans of the same level in some aspects due to their racial advantages.

General Li was a little surprised that the orcs did not seize the opportunity to attack. This Long Shuai did not seem to be a simple person. He actually knew the principle of not pursuing an enemy who is in trouble.

Since the orcs had no plans to attack, he was happy to have some leisure time and simply took the carefully selected scouts to inspect the traces of the battle left last night.

Although Yan Ling was injured, he joined in after briefly treating the wound. After all, this is not a battle. What is needed is not a strong and healthy body, but meticulous insight, rich experience, and the ability to analyze the subtleties.

"Captain, judging from the situation, the ambush they encountered should have come from underground?" A scout said firmly after carefully observing the traces on the scene.

The other scouts also nodded. Judging from the traces on the scene, the ten people yesterday were probably ambushed by the orcs at their feet while observing.

Judging now based on the traces found, this is indeed the result, but Yan Ling always feels that something is wrong.

It would make sense to say that one or two people were ambushed by the orcs underground, but this was a total of ten people. It would take time for the orcs to emerge from the ground, right? The noise caused during this period was definitely not small, and the scouts he was optimistic about could not possibly

He doesn't even have the ability to react at all.

"Yan Ling, what do you think?" After checking these traces, General Li looked at Yan Ling.

"I always feel something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong. Only three places look like the first scene, and the other seven don't look like the first scene, but I really can't find any other first scenes.

Traces of the scene." Yan Ling thought for a moment and said with a frown.

"Your observations are still very detailed, but in fact only two places are the first scene, and the other eight places are not. You follow me." General Li smiled slightly and walked away first, followed by Yan Ling and others.

back.

Several scouts were very confused. They didn't find any problem at all. They all thought that what they found was the first scene.

"This should be the place you think was the first scene, right?" General Li led a group of people to a place with traces of battle.

"Isn't it? This should be the place where they were ambushed, right? Defeat the enemy with one strike, leaving almost no traces. If you hadn't paid more attention, it would have been missed." Looking at the grass with almost no traces, Yan Yan

Ling found no sign of fraud at all.

Yan Ling always felt that something strange was the seven places where there were traces of fierce battles. If such a fierce battle really took place, it would be impossible for the sentries not to notice the abnormality.

However, the traces of the battle looked so real that people had to believe it, and several caves that could accommodate people were found nearby, which further confirmed the authenticity of the ambush.

"This spot is indeed very similar to the other two traces, but think about it carefully. In the dark night, you quietly peeked at the enemy camp. What actions would you take?"

"I will lie on the ground, or half-crouch on the ground, and use the binoculars to check the enemy camp." Yan Ling said, making gestures along the way.

I saw Yan Ling taking out the telescope, first squatting on the ground, walking forward slowly, trying to find a suitable position, then lying forward, moving forward to adjust the angle. When he adjusted the angle and stood up,

The grass beneath him left some traces.

When he saw the traces he left and the original traces here, he suddenly realized. Because the direction of the grass here was not towards the orcs, but towards the humans.

This means that either someone is lying down facing the human race, or the scout is sitting cross-legged on the ground observing the orcs.

He knows his own soldiers very well. There will never be anyone sitting here with their legs crossed and observing. They must be cautious, trying their best to reduce their body space to prevent being discovered by the enemy.

In this case, there is only one possibility. This should not be the first scene. Even if it is the first scene, it is the first scene that has been disguised.

"Why did they do this?" Yan Ling was very puzzled by this. This was simply a unnecessary matter of taking off his pants and farting. Everyone was arrested, so what would happen even if the first scene was discovered?

The corner of General Li's mouth raised, revealing a sneer, "In order to mislead us, and at the same time conceal the real trump card."

"Misleading us to cover up the trump card?" Yan Ling looked at General Li in confusion.

"There is a race of orcs called invisible killers. You must have heard about it, right?"

"You mean the Chameleon Clan? So it's all the Chameleon Clan's doing? Then doesn't it mean that these caves hidden underground have no meaning?"

"I said it was to cover up and mislead. The reason they went to great lengths to do this was to make us think they were using a hole in the ground."

"What's the point of doing this? Let's focus on the underground to prevent them from making sneak attacks underground? Wouldn't that mean they have no chance to make sneak attacks from underground?" Yan Ling frowned. These contradictory conclusions made him confused for a moment.

Mindless.

"If it were you and you left so many holes that can be easily discovered, would you still attack from underground?"

"Of course not under normal circumstances, but if the two armies are facing each other and there is a stalemate between the two warring parties, or after launching a surprise attack and cooperating with a large force to launch a general attack, in this case, even if there is danger, we should try it."

"That's right, but now is neither the time for a surprise attack nor the time for a battle, so this won't happen for the time being, otherwise we will just die."

"If they don't sneak attack from underground, are they planning to send Chameleon warriors to sneak camp from the ground? That's not realistic at all. Chameleon warriors can sneak attack a few people, but there is no difference between sneak attack on the camp and death. If they dare to come, I will

Let them never come back!" Yan Ling's eyes flashed fiercely, and his tone was full of resentment.

"Of course they won't send chameleons to attack the camp, but it won't be peaceful tonight."

"So what if it's not peaceful? The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Are we still afraid of the orcs?" Yan Ling clenched his right fist and stared at the orc camp.

"Night is not an advantage for us humans, and they don't just have frontal battlefields. They must be working hard to advance behind us!" General Li glanced at the vast grassland behind him, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"Advance from behind? Are you saying that their burrow is just a cover, and the real trump card is behind us? They want to attack us from behind during the frontal attack, leaving us vulnerable to enemies from both sides and in disarray?" Yan Ling looked like he suddenly understood.

"That's not right! Their numbers are much smaller than ours. Wouldn't it be risky to divide our forces again? Even if we are attacked from both sides, they still have no advantage at all!"

"That's why we choose night! If you suddenly find that there are battle flags covering the sky in front of and behind you when the number of enemy troops is unknown, will you panic?"

"This..." Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. He now understood what General Li meant and could guess the orc's intention.

"I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night tonight!" General Li looked at the sky in the distance and said meaningfully.

A strong wind blew on the desert prairie, and the grass half a man's height swayed with the wind. The clouds in the distance were as dark as ink, and there were even flashes of lightning occasionally. The depressing air made people feel a little irritated...
