Chapter 18: Lure the Enemy Deep Into Our Territory

Richard thought for a moment and thought about countermeasures. After going through it in his mind, he felt that there was nothing wrong. He whispered: "After a while, Ron deliberately exposed his traces and led some kobolds into the forest. Hayden was on the big tree. Monitoring the enemy, I prepared an ambush on the high ground behind me and was responsible for shooting the enemy.

The task is very difficult, can it be completed? "

Although Richard's face is still a little immature, his expression is firm and courageous. Especially after a battle, it felt a bit decisive.

At this moment, Richard was no longer Ron's brother, but a brave superior officer.

Looking at Richard's firm eyes, Ron replied seriously: "Squadron leader, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to complete the task of luring the enemy."

"Be safe and come back alive."

Ron nodded and moved quickly towards the kobold camp.

He moved his mouth and made several bird calls. This was a unique scouting technique that only a few scouts could master.

Ron can move freely in the forest. After studying with Powell for many years, he has mastered a variety of hidden tricks.

Before dawn, he was lurking near the kobold camp.

Ron used the short bow he had with him and quickly shot an arrow.

Although Ron's archery skills were average, about the second-level level, he stood upwind, less than thirty meters away from the kobold sentry.

At such a close distance, even though his archery skills were far inferior to Richard's, he still hit the kobold accurately.

Ordinary scouts are inconvenient to carry longbows with a long range, and they cannot afford expensive enchanted bows. To increase the lethality, venom is applied to the arrows.

The poisonous arrow hit the kobold's throat, and the sentry fell to the ground before he could howl.

The kobold camp was laid out very formally, with not only open sentinels but also hidden sentries.

As soon as the outpost soldier died, the secret outpost kobold screamed immediately.

The camp suddenly became chaotic, and Ron immediately fled into the jungle while taking advantage of the chaos.

The two sleeping kobold warriors got up one after another to check on the sentry who had been killed by an arrow.

As a species of kobolds, individual strength is average and it is difficult for them to advance to high-level professions. But they are very smart. Many kobold tribes have mastered the skill of smelting steel, and some powerful kobold tribes can even make magic weapons.

Coupled with their super fertility, most orc legions will incorporate a large number of kobold soldiers.

The status of the kobold race in the orc empire is not low. There are many kobolds serving as grassroots officers in the orc army.

“I’ve seen arrows like this, done by human scouts.

The kobold squadron leader pulled out the arrow and said with certainty.

Another kobold warrior shouted angrily: "I will lead a small group of soldiers to kill the enemy in the forest."

"Maybe it's a trap."

"There are not many elite soldiers in Haden Castle. Even if there are traps, the enemy's strength will not be very strong. Besides, the Harpy inspectors will come as soon as the day breaks. There are inspectors scouting in the sky, and human soldiers cannot escape at all. Inspector's eyes."

Soon the kobold warriors led a small group of kobolds into formation, and then entered the jungle as skirmishers.

Following the traces left by Ron, the kobold entered about two kilometers from the inside and vaguely discovered traces of Ron.

The kobold warrior immediately became very excited and loudly drove the soldiers to surround Ron.

】

In fact, the mission this time was to investigate the enemy's situation. This battle could be avoided, but Richard wanted to hunt down the kobold professionals and hand the heads to Ron for meritorious service, so he asked Ron to lure the enemy.

Discovering that the enemy had entered his range, Richard hid at the ambush site, held his breath, and shot a fatal arrow decisively.

Richard's archery skills have improved to the fourth level, and he can shoot people's eyes from a distance of 100 meters. With his strength and the enchanted bow and arrow in his hand, the shooting range reached 800 meters.

Shooting a target in the forest is not easy even for an expert archer. Dense tree trunks will block sight, and the complex environment also affects the archer's perception.

In order to ensure success this time, Richard has placed the enemy very close.

The distance of four hundred meters, even in the forest, was already a sure thing for Richard.

The arrow carried powerful energy and fiercely penetrated a tree trunk as thick as a bowl. It pierced the soft belly of the kobold warrior and nailed it to a big tree.

Hit by an arrow, the kobold warrior was not dead for a while. Intense pain filled his mind, and miserable howls came from his mouth.

The kobold professional was about to cut off the arrow shaft, but the second arrow had already struck. It quickly raised its arm shield to block it. The arrow penetrated the arm shield with a pop and pierced through with powerful force. The kobold's arm, the arrow pierced deeply into the kobold's mouth.

"Killing a first-level kobold will reward you with 500 experience points."

The attribute panel prompt came to my mind again.

Richard shot the kobold professional with two arrows, and Ron and Hayden also shot arrows, killing two kobolds. Seeing how ferocious Richard's arrows were, the remaining kobolds were frightened. They did not dare to help their injured companions and chose to run away in panic.

Because he was unfamiliar with the terrain and the enemy's situation, Richard did not dare to risk pursuit, so he opened his enchanted bow and shot three kobold soldiers.

Killed the kobold professional and defeated the kobold team. Richard quickly walked to the kobold corpse and cut off the head of the kobold professional.

The heads of orc professionals can be exchanged for military merit.

Richard searched the body of the dog-headed professional carefully, seized the dog-headed officer's weapon, and then put the dog-headed professional's head into a cloth bag, handed it to Ron, and issued an order to retreat.

Seeing Richard give the merit he had obtained to him, Ron's face was suddenly a little shocked.

"Take it, exchange it for the subsequent breathing method, and advance to a professional as soon as possible."

Ron took the cloth bag with some trepidation, and followed with mixed feelings.

Getting the head of the dog-headed professional is equivalent to making a military merit. After exchanging the breathing method and advancing to a professional, the identity will be very different.

At this moment, Ron was very happy.

At the same time, Ron, as the eldest brother, needed his younger brother to take care of him, and he felt a little ashamed.

Watching Richard constantly making merit in the war, Ron complained in his heart that his father was unfair and did not treat him equally.

As the eldest son, according to the laws of the kingdom, he is the first heir. Ron has never been treated preferentially by William, and resources are given priority to Richard and Barron.

He often thought to himself: "What would happen if my father invested resources in me?

Maybe I would become a professional, but it would be difficult to make military achievements.

I am nine years older than Richard, and my archery skills are far inferior to that of a young man like Richard. Even if I have an enchanted bow and arrow, it would be difficult to accurately shoot and kill orc professionals and continue to make military achievements."

It is also difficult for young people to admit that they are ordinary.
