Chapter 152: Searching for Setes
After more than ten minutes, the Dark Night Legion arrived at the former Wolfdog.Human Tribe. After several hours of marching, Yu Fei decided to let the Dark Night Legion rest. In the short term, this former Wolfdog.Human Tribe will be the Dark Night Legion's garrison location - the war with Setes will definitely not be resolved in one battle like before, and Yu Fei is ready to go through multiple battles.
In this case, a stronghold is indispensable. The Wolfdog.Human Tribe was a gathering area for field units in the past, which is better than being stationed in the wilderness. Moreover, the location of this tribe is really good. It is separated from the range of Setes' activities by a river, which can be regarded as a dangerous place to attack and defend.
With melee units outside and ranged units inside, the Dark Night Legion quickly settled down in the Wolfdog.Human Tribe. It was afternoon at this time, and Yu Fei was ready to wait until dusk, so that the Dark Night Legion, which had finished resting, could cross the river and start fighting Setes in the western area of the Wind Whispering Forest.
However, the time from afternoon to evening could not be wasted. Yu Fei sent five raptor druids who transformed into storm crows to disperse in all directions and began to explore the surrounding environment. Among them, two storm crows were exploring to the west. Yu Fei's vision was naturally fixed on a storm crow flying to the west. The west was the most likely place for Setes to move.
As the storm crow moved forward, the vision gradually extended, and Yu Fei soon saw the original kobold tribe. There is no kobold here now. Last time, Tyrande had captured all the kobolds living in the kobold tribe and those scattered around, and brought them back to the night elf base.
It should be mentioned here that the kobolds are now collecting energy mines in the two sub-bases. Of course, after the night elves and the wild wolves left, there were naturally kobolds who wanted to escape. But after several kobolds were smashed into meat paste by the boulders of the ancient guardians, all the kobolds gave up the idea of escaping.
The existence of the Kobold mining team did improve Yu Fei's resource collection speed. Let's not talk about the underground mining. In the open-pit mine, the Kobolds picked up energy stones much faster than the night elves. As for the sub-base on the other side that was not an open-pit mine, the Kobolds' advantages were even more evident.
Thanks to the efforts of the Kobold tunnel workers, several caves similar to mines were dug out where the energy mine was located, but the caves gradually narrowed from top to bottom. The cave walls were sloped to facilitate the entry and exit of the Kobolds who mined energy stones.
Although it took a long time to dig the cave, after the cave was dug, the work of the Kobolds became orderly. The Kobolds automatically divided into several teams and lined up to enter several caves. When the last few Kobolds in each team entered the cave, the first Kobolds who entered had already climbed up from the other side of the cave wall with a backpack full of energy stones, and quickly sent the energy stones to the Tree of Life, which converted them into energy.
The appearance of the Gnoll Mining Team has greatly shortened the time for the two energy mines to be collected, and Yu Fei has to consider the problem of finding new energy mines. However, these energies are enough for the time being. Even with the Gnoll Mining Team, it will still take some time to collect. The most urgent task is to deal with Setes.
Shaking his head, Yu Fei continued to fix his vision on the scouting Storm Crow, and observed the surroundings as the Storm Crow moved forward. After passing the Gnoll Tribe, the Storm Crow adjusted its direction under Yu Fei's command and continued to fly in the direction of the west and south.
The trees in front of him are still the same. The Storm Crow has flown a short distance, but still has no trace of Setes. No, I also took into account the deviation of the direction and adjusted it to the Warcraft Mountain Range. Setes should be around here, right?
Yu Fei switched his vision to several other Storm Crows, but did not find any trace of Setes' activities. Switching his vision to the storm crow flying in the direction of the west and south, Yu Fei thought that if he still didn't find Setes in another five minutes, he would turn back. Then he would go in and out and conduct a carpet search of the area where Setes were suspected to exist, and he would definitely find it.
Just as Yu Fei was thinking this, he suddenly felt the body of the storm crow suddenly get cold, and some of its feathers exploded. Hmm? This feeling. Ha, I found it! Yu Fei thought about it carefully, and this cold feeling was exactly the feeling of the area filled with hell.
The place where Setes gathered should be just ahead. Because it was transformed from an ordinary raptor druid, the intelligence of this storm crow was not very high, and Yu Fei simply started to control the body of this storm crow. There was no way, he had to be careful, there was no shortage of long-range attack units among Setes. Two shadow arrows or a few dark magic balls would kill the fragile storm crow directly.
Under Yu Fei's control, the storm crow lowered its flying altitude, slowed down its speed under the cover of trees, and continued to fly forward. The dense leaves on the tall trees in the Whispering Wind Forest obscured the Storm Crow's figure. At least from the ground, it was difficult to spot a huge crow flying among the leaves.
Yu Fei was right. A clearing with relatively sparse trees soon appeared in front of the Storm Crow. There were no less than 800 Setes gathered in this clearing. Although the two types of Setes, Setes Warriors and Setes Dark Dancers, were not very high in level, they were also very powerful.
The clearing where Setes lived was simply hell - the soil on the ground was dark red, obviously soaked in blood. Under the trees and in the sparse grass, you can see bones scattered everywhere. In the center of the clearing where Setes gathered, Yu Fei saw some creatures that were obviously not Setes.
There was no need to guess. Yu Fei recognized them at the first sight of these creatures, because the appearance of these creatures was exactly the same as that of Gargant. That's right, in the center of the Setes gathering, Yu Fei saw dozens of dwarves through the vision of the Storm Crow.
These dwarves all looked lifeless, and only occasionally moved their eyes to prove that they were still alive. From the size of the skeletons scattered on the open ground, it can be seen that many dwarves were buried here. These surviving dwarves were tightly surrounded by Setes, with no hope of escape. They just waited for death day by day, which was naturally a boring performance.
Elf King Yu Fei frowned. What are these Setes going to do? I haven't heard that Setes eat people? Besides, the demand for food for the Warcraft units that descended is very small, almost non-existent. So why did Setes attack the surrounding dwarf tribes and wild monsters? Is it just to satisfy the desire to kill? Looking at the skeletons scattered on the ground, Yu Fei couldn't help but fall into a series of question marks.
Not daring to let the storm crow continue to fly forward, Yu Fei controlled the storm crow to hide in the crown of a tree, and used the dense branches and leaves of the tree to block the body of the storm crow. The trees in the open space in front were too sparse. If they flew out rashly, they would definitely be discovered by Setes. I am afraid that this "Raptor reconnaissance plane" will be shot down by Setes's second artillery unit.
Anyway, it's still some time before dusk, and now the place where Setes gather has been found. It won't delay anything to order the Dark Night Legion to move forward in a while. In his heart, he quietly gave the other four Raptor Druids who were scouting in other directions a return order, and Yu Fei continued to "spy" on Setes' movements with the vision of this storm crow.
Eight hundred Setes with a minimum strength of level three are indeed difficult to deal with! While observing the situation, Yu Fei was also thinking about tactics. This is not like the elimination of the Centaurs and the Spiky Beasts in the volcanic wasteland at that time. At that time, the Centaurs and the Spiky Beasts were both injured, and he picked up a big bargain. This time, he has to really wipe out the Setes who are not inferior to the Centaurs or Spiky Beasts in their heyday!
If the plan is good, with the much-enhanced strength now, it is possible to win the battle in one battle, Yu Fei thought silently. But the next scene made Yu Fei quickly give up the idea of winning the battle in one battle. As time gradually moved towards the evening, when the sun was about to set, a team of Setes suddenly appeared in the west of the Setes gathering point and walked towards this side.
With the sharp eyes of the storm crow, Yu Fei saw that there were some dwarves who were obviously captured among these Setes. Soon, this team of Setes merged into this Setes gathering point, and the number of Setes approached the thousand mark.
This number is already a great threat. If the plan is not appropriate, the Dark Night Legion may even lose in the battle with Setes. After all, each of these Setes has more or less skills. In terms of strength, they are not much different from the night elves.
There are thirty or forty newly captured dwarves, and some Setes are still dragging the bodies of dwarves. Judging from the way the living dwarves looked at the corpses and the captured dwarves around them, these dwarves should be from the same tribe. The newly captured dwarves were driven to the center of the Setes gathering point to guard the prisoners, and the Setes gathered the bodies they dragged back together.
Yu Fei became excited. It seems that these Setes are going to do something mysterious with the corpses - otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to drag all the dwarf corpses back. Looking at the place where the dwarf corpses were piled up, Yu Fei felt that he was about to know why the Setes attacked other forces everywhere.
