As the night deepened, the north wind blew colder and colder on his face, as if even his hair was going to freeze on his back.

Thousands of miles downwind of Tang Jie's troops, the wolves lay on the ground, silently watching everyone in the distance, while Lu Kuan was lying on the belly of a zebra, using the huge body of a cute bear to block the north wind, and the warm feeling was no worse than guarding the fireplace.

Two wind elementals swam around, one floating directly above the enemy, keeping an eye out for movement there.

Lu Kuan looked at the system time: it was almost 2 o'clock in the morning.

If the Fish-Folk were to launch a counterattack, it would be almost the same now.

Thinking so, Lu Kuan took out a handful of emerald green fresh bamboo from his backpack and pushed it in front of the zebra, and the cute bear unceremoniously pulled it over with the bear's claws, and feasted on it like eating a biscuit.

Then Lu Kuan stood up, moved his slightly stiff legs and feet, and squinted ahead.

These people were obviously a little tired, and there was much less fire than before, and from this position, they could no longer see the surging water.

Lu Kuan took out a few more portions of food from his backpack, threw some roasted brown rabbit meat to the wolves, and took a big bite of one himself, but in two minutes, all kinds of food buffs had been replenished.

At this moment, the situation in front of him seemed to have changed, Lu Kuan frowned slightly, and immediately got up from the ice and half-knelt on the ground, and the wolves stood up after him, looking ahead in unison.

The neighing of horses' farts came faintly, intermittently, but it was enough to alert the experienced cavalry—rested horses would never make such sounds, and if nothing happened, they should be silent all night.

The horses must have sensed an unfamiliar movement.

Lu Kuan ate the last bite of barbecue, stood up, raised his hand to take the zebra back into the pet space, and at the same time tilted his head at Dimi, the black-headed wolf immediately understood, lowered his body, and slowly touched the wolf forward.

Lu Kuan knocked off a bottle of mixture, walked quickly to the left, stepped on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, and then raised his head to watch the figure of the wind element fall silently from the sky.

……

Putting aside Tang Jie's conduct, this guy's military literacy is still very high.

"Ring, ring, ring, ......!"

The alarm bell erected at the edge of the camp was violently shaken, and everyone was immediately awakened, and the calm of the night was immediately broken by the noise.

"Commander God, the east has indeed found a fishman!"

"How much?" Tang Jie, who had just come out of the camp, was wearing battle armor and asked with a full heart.

"No less than 30 heads! It's all civilians, and our two cavalry squads in ambush have followed! The sentry's tone was unconcealably excited.

When Tang Jie heard this, he showed a cruel smile: "No need to close the camp, go directly and act according to the original plan!" ”

"Yes!"

During the night's stay, everyone was not leaving, there was an order from the commander, the soldiers directly grabbed their weapons, rode on their horses and set off straight, from the sky, a fire dragon meandered along the waterfront of the island in the middle of the lake, and the speed was fast!

Lu Kuan was pulled by the wind element and flew into the sky, seeing this scene clearly, he immediately increased his speed, crossed over the head of the cavalry, and saw the situation ahead in a short time.

Six or seven cavalrymen with torches, divided into two small groups, surrounded a group of fishmen in the center, these fishmen were small in stature, did not hold weapons, no matter how they dressed or acted, they did not look like the soldiers they usually saw, but like the fish-people civilian NPCs underwater.

How did these guys end up here?

Lu Kuan was puzzled in his heart, the civilian NPCs had no combat power, and the cavalry who encountered the lava fort had to wait for death, but looking at the behavior of these cavalry, they just drove and surrounded them, but they did not shoot arrows, and they had no intention of killing.

It's weird!

Lu Kuan secretly thought in his heart, his vision was cast farther away, according to the news from the wind element, in the dark realm that could not be seen in front of him, there were cavalry of the lava fortress hidden in the woods, as long as this side arrived, the front immediately appeared to form a circle.

"It's not as simple as it seems...... Tang Jie must have put a lot of thought into this matter, could it be that he wanted to do all the work and use the bait to hook out the Fish-Man Clan? ”

Thinking of this, Lu Kuan frowned slightly, looked at the formation before and after, and knew that he might not be able to save these fishmen by himself.

The people of the key Rune City can't come over to help, since the incident of the last Qingshui Village, the hostility of the Lava Fortress towards the members of the Rune City has increased, and if Damien, Baker and others appear in the teleportation array of the Lava City, it will inevitably lead to conflict.

This is someone else's territory, and if you come here rashly, you will definitely suffer.

However, Lu Kuan's mind turned, and he quickly reacted: When there was no Rune City before, when I encountered a high-level task, shouldn't I do it by myself? How come there are NPC subordinates, but they have a mindset and want to call someone to help when they are in trouble?

Thinking of this, Lu Kuan couldn't help but smile, and his heart suddenly brightened: It's too difficult, Lao Tzu S+ has done all the tasks, are you still afraid of you scumbags?

At that moment, Lu Kuan sent a spiritual order to Dimi, asking him to lead the wolves to search a wide range on the island in the middle of the lake to find the traces of other fishmen as soon as possible, while he hung high in the air, staring intently at the development of the situation below.

Just as Lu Kuan expected, these combat-neutral fish-man civilians were easily surrounded and captured, and the people of Lava Castle obviously did not have a very good impression of the fish-people, and after forming a siege against them, they raised their horsewhips and whipped them down viciously.

"Smack!"

"Smack!!"

The loud whip reverberated on the surface of the empty lake, and even louder than the whip was the wail of the fish man, whose already sharp voice was even more piercing at this time, and if the unknown passers-by heard it, they would have to be shocked into a cold sweat.

Among the fishmen who were surrounded were petite children, surrounded by adult fishmen, looking around in dazed and frightened places, unable to figure out why the catastrophe had suddenly struck.

After all, since the battle of Qingshui Village, the source of corruption of the fish-man population has been beheaded, and then the old blind man has entered the Baili Lake, and the degenerate fish-man members have been eliminated, and the fish-man clan has not had a conflict with outsiders for a long time.

In reality, people can't bear to see cats and dogs injured, not to mention that it is the intelligent race that is abused?

The sharp howl reached Lu Kuan's ears in the air, Lu Kuan's expression remained unchanged, and he had no intention of making a move for the time being.

Now he was 100% sure that Tang Jie's plan was to use these fishmen as bait to lure the main force of the fishmen to come to the decisive battle.

Tang Jie's cavalry is said to have 150 people, not counting the division of troops in other positions, the main force of the fish people in the first battle of Qingshui Village was lost, how can they have the ability to compete head-on with these strong cavalry now?

But where are the fishmen?

Lu Kuan looked around, and said that he could only ask for help from the almighty melon-eating masses, so he immediately opened the full map channel of the Banyan Grassland and sent a reward message.
