Chapter 67 Ambush in the Forest

"I feel like the trees here don't look right."

"There's nothing wrong. You must be too suspicious." The veteran riding in front of him curled his lips. The recruits of these clans were like hares on the grassland. They wanted to hide in their holes whenever there was a sound of wind.

As various clans competed for seats in the royal court, little brats like this who didn't even have a full head of hair were thrown into the battlefield.

As cavalry archers who were temporarily recruited, their role was to ride the remaining inferior horses and shoot at the enemy positions from a distance, and then quickly pull away after a round of volleys.

The bows they used were for hunting, and the hunting bows were not that powerful. It was difficult for such sparse arrow rain to have any killing effect.

It is more of a waste of energy to harass the other party.

If there are no cavalry on the opposite side to hunt them down, and there are no longbows and heavy crossbows to shoot at them, this kind of harassment will continue to increase the pressure on the nerves of the harassed.

When their morale is low to a certain level and their nerves are tense, the giant wolf cavalry and heavy cavalry directly from the big clan will take action to break their already tight strings and make them collapse completely.

They will find a position suitable for cavalry charge and rush into the enemy formation with an unrivaled attitude. The wolf cavalry will bite and strangle among them, while the heavy cavalry will quickly penetrate the enemy formation and then launch a new charge.

When the monster cavalry and heavy cavalry open a gap in the front line, the original harassment cavalry and various light cavalry that have been waiting for a long time will also charge with spears or sabers, entering the enemy's formation to expand their own results.

Their tactics worked well on the grasslands.

"Although monsters are rampant here, the scout cavalry has already explored the road for us." The veteran took out a sheepskin map from the felt, which recorded the route they should take: "This generation's king selection actually chose to be held here. We want us to Mainly hunting, huh..."

hunting.

New recruits have heard what veterans have to say.

The best way for men on the grasslands to prove themselves is to hunt, and the princes like to use this behavior since the birth of mankind to show their strength.

When it comes to hunting, there is nothing more exciting than hunting large monsters. This is the reason why they came to this vast wild plain. There are various beasts that exceed normal sizes gathered here, and there are also huge legendary epics. biology.

Whoever can hunt more powerfully can become the first person in the royal court.

As for more information, that is not something they can understand.

Walking in the middle of the avenue, which is not too wide, this dirt road opened by predecessors has sprouted a little green, and from time to time at the top, there are wide crowns of trees on both sides extending outward to block the sun.

"Don't worry, someone will give us large pieces of meat and the best wine at the outpost. Those are all good things from the East!"

The veteran laughed, controlled the horse's feet to slow down, and patted the recruit on the shoulder.

With good wine and barbecue, all difficulties disappear.

The recruit looked at the green woods on both sides of the avenue and the dark forests where sunlight could not penetrate even half of the way. He always felt that there were ghosts from ancient legends lurking in the woods on both sides.

Even if he was in a cavalry team of hundreds of people, he couldn't suppress the coldness coming from his body.

The terrifying tree demons that appear in legends will pretend to be lost travelers to enchant, and will drag anyone who steps into the forest into the depths to devour them.

Their team, a mixture of many small clans, is almost entirely composed of light cavalry, with only one priest accompanying them. Those powerful wild clan warriors are not with them, let alone the giant wolf cavalry. If If they encounter the legendary tree demon, they may really be annihilated here.

These warriors from small clans came just to fight for a winter grain. This year's harvest was not good, and hunting and plundering were not good. Without the grand ideals that the big clans above kept saying, collective hunting would be safer and more stable.

"Look at your sullen face, maybe you can catch a giant wolf and ride it? Don't think so bad about this hunt, that's all the business of the princes above."

The veteran was idle and bored, chatting with the new recruits.

"There is a team in front of us. If something happens, it will always be them first."

"No, I really feel something is wrong..."

The two people walking in the middle of the team suddenly saw the leader at the front stop.

A commotion broke out from the front.

They stopped and looked at the blood splattered on the road.

All the blood stains pointed into the forest.

Fresh, but ice cold.

The ground is covered with gullies and dents from heavy blows.

The team in front of them was completely wiped out.

Li Yan watched as a tall little tree man slowly put the bows, arrows, short bows, long bows, and iron swords into categories, and put them away into a huge basket carried by a medium-sized tree man.

The tree people don't need these ones that are no bigger than their palms. Even the smallest tree monster/little tree people can't draw the largest longbow among them. The ability to draw it is not as powerful as the stone they can grab and throw. Although The distance will be much closer than a longbow.

These can fetch a lot of money on the market and are sold in sets.

The hundreds of long and short bows and weapons of all kinds that he captured alone would be a huge amount of income when put on the market. He only kept some of the horses, not because he didn't want to capture them.

The movement of the tree men was a little too slow. Even the fastest tree men could not grasp the reins of the frightened horses and had no choice but to let the frightened horses scatter in all directions.

If Ji Lin were here, I would tell him a story.

Swift as the wind (Tree Man/Dwarf).

High morale (Rat Man/Goblin).

He followed Ji Lin's teachings: Tree Man will find a large forest and squat inside, then build vine traps and thorny roots, kill anyone who comes, and then retreat to the battlefield. With the mobility of Tree Man, don't consider long-distance movement, it is easy to be kited by others if it is slow, it is better to find a large forest to build a trap.

The first thing he arrived at was a fairly large forest and let his Tree Man move slowly step by step until a hundred Tree Man squeezed in... The trees here are very large, otherwise his Tree Man can't squeeze in from the gap.

But it is very difficult for his hero unit, the Ancient Tree, to get in. The moving giant tree of more than 20 meters is very conspicuous no matter where it goes, and it is impossible to squeeze into the forest unless brute force is used to clear a large enough path.

Helplessly, he could only let it take root at the edge of the forest and wait, and began to extend the spike trap with itself as the center. When Li Yan needed it, he would call it to throw it remotely.

He ordered the tree man to take root at the intersection of the forest, and let the spike roots sink into the ground as a trap. When an enemy moved on them, they would suddenly break through the ground and cause minor damage.

After possessing the ancient tree of knowledge, the ancient tree man could slowly transmit the low-level spells he knew and developed to other tree men. With the help of the element tower and the moon spring, all the two hundred tree men in the territory had learned the low-level general spell of spike roots.

Spiky roots are a divine spell, but the spell civilization can imitate its operating mode and develop its own spells from it.

Not long after, he got the first harvest in the exercise battlefield, a team of light cavalry walking on the road, not feeling any danger at all.

They stepped on the ground covered with spike roots without noticing, and then were wiped out in panic.

There is still a long time to come, and he can build the fortifications he needs here with peace of mind...

Li Yan does not intend to attack the lucky team. The traps he set up before have all been consumed at once. There will inevitably be casualties if he fights now.
