Chapter 76 Hunting

Ji Lin observed the giant deer quietly wandering on the grassland in the distance. They were half the size of the steam spiders, covered with snow-white fur, and stepped on the ground with four strong and powerful sheep feet, like an elegant creature from a real fantasy movie.

It was rare to see such a leisurely unit on the wild plains.

They walked quietly on the green field, occasionally lowering their heads to turn out some plant roots and swallow them into their mouths. The tall grass looked so short in comparison with them.

Giant deer, a monster cavalry unit.

They are very weak in aggression and generally will not actively attack others.

They will even actively approach friendly units.

It is a very good unit. As long as you are kind-hearted and friendly to the forest, you can even sign a contract with them.

Take them back to your territory and raise them to get extremely powerful giant deer cavalry.

Compared with units such as the Corrupted Magic Crab, they are indeed much gentler, but the Corrupted Magic Crab can also be transformed by the Undead Lord using spells, from ownerless undead to subordinate undead.

If it fails, this thing will go crazy, and judging from the average level of the current lord heroes, it is likely to fail.

For completely hostile monster units like the Corrupted Magic Crab, human lords like them can only eliminate them one by one, and then see if the system can give them a blueprint for cultivating troops.

He didn't plan to take a chance, and he didn't know what the giant deer judged for friendly units. If he made a contract, he was not an elf, and there were no related mages, druids, or shamans in the team.

This was the only creature he found when he walked past the three monster infantry.

Corrupted Magic Crab, Toxic Black Bee, Skeleton Construct.

The Toxic Black Bee moved too fast, and it was a flying unit, so he didn't want to provoke this kind of ghost thing.

The Skeleton Construct was a completely humanoid monster composed of bones of different creatures. Projectile attacks were not very effective against him, but the light crossbowmen with the burning flag had a good killing effect with magic attacks.

He didn't fight. It was a waste of ammunition to kill such a thing. Once the burning flag was turned on, the arrows were all used at once.

Among all these monsters, a normal monster unit was refreshed, a unit that can be eaten.

There were a total of 40, and there were 8 fawns, which could fill the stomachs of so many people for a long time.

The meat on the thigh was also very full, and it would definitely be sizzling when roasted.

[Giant Deer]

[Features]:

Hiding in the Forest: Giant deer born in the woods are very familiar with various environments, which makes them make much less noise than others when they move.

Woodland Crossing: This unit can move in the woods at a faster speed.

Frenzy: This unit will exert its combat power to the extreme when entering close combat, and all attributes will be increased by 10%.

[Don't be fooled by their quietness and peace. When they go crazy, they are really deadly. ]

If the elven lord sees this thing, he should be very happy. After all, the giant deer cavalry is stronger than ordinary cavalry as a monster shock cavalry. He can get along well with them and sign a contract. If he fails, he will not lose anything.

If possible, he would like to get some of these. It's not to be put into the battlefield. It might be good to use them to transport goods for the territory. It doesn't eat coal or carbon. It can pull trains everywhere by feeding grass.

In the later era, it may be put in the zoo for exhibition and collect some tickets.

Because the research and development of steam engines is too far ahead of the times, it takes a long time for him to point it out. It takes time to transform the technical reserves into real practice. During this period, it is necessary to have units used as transition.

But there is no way. For dinner, let them sacrifice.

Every five musketeers as a team aim at a giant deer, and every ten light crossbowmen as a team also aim at a giant deer to avoid wasting firepower. Elite units like musketeers have sergeants, but the training time for light crossbowmen is too short, so officers and non-commissioned officers cannot be born. They can only barely select the tallest among the short ones, and select a sergeant from ten people.

As for centurions, there are too few battles and no centurions are born. Only ordinary centurions exist as mid-level commanders.

The command of scout hunting spiders depends entirely on whistles. Only the musketeers have the permission to command them. The two hundred hunting spiders are directly under the musketeers. Different whistles correspond to different scout hunting spiders. They are sensitive enough to sound.

The hunting is divided into three stages.

The first step: scout hunting spiders and steam spiders surround them. They will form a relatively large encirclement. Ji Lin intends to use the instinct of these wild creatures to stay away from the enemy first, and use the whistle sound of steam spiders to scare and drive them away.

The second step: The encirclement team composed of a large number of scout hunting spiders and steam spiders who have received instructions will drive the giant deer towards the direction of musketeers and crossbowmen.

Just like a sheepdog driving a flock of sheep.

Step 3: Once the deer reach their range, use multiple volleys to eliminate the target.

Use traps on the ground to limit their movement speed.

The execution of the plan went smoothly. When the giant deer saw the steam spiders emitting white smoke, their first reaction was to stay away from them cautiously. Their not-so-intelligent brains did not realize the possible trap of the three-sided encirclement.

These steam spiders were beyond their cognition.

They began to run wildly. Their agile posture always reminded Ji Lin of the plot he had seen in the animal world, where antelopes were as fast as rabbits and could always escape the threat of predators.

Then, as he expected, they fell into the mud pit trap, slowed down, and were killed by arrows and bullets.

Only four smaller young giant deer were lucky enough to escape this death channel because they were not targeted.

The only accident was that when they were carrying these giant deer and preparing to evacuate, they saw the few giant deer cubs that escaped the encirclement appear on the edge of the mountain in the distance, followed by a figure on horseback.

This giant deer had been targeted by someone for a long time, but he harvested it.

It was too far away, so they could only look at themselves from a distance.

The system prompt sounded.

‘Ding~ The hunting bounty has been issued, according to the target size, which is 0.5% of the resources used by the building. ’

The bounty for hunting a monster cavalry is only 0.5% of the resources currently used by the base, which is much less than chasing other lords.

The advantage is safety and stability, and there is no need to face the threat of other people's military formations.

And he has invested a lot of resources in the construction of his own territory, and the income from hunting is relatively more generous.

(Sorry, the update is a little late today. I am thinking about how to cut in the perspective to show the performance of more lords of the same era. Please leave the other races you want to see here for my reference~)
