168. Lucky?
The temperature is starting to get hot.
Because the noon of the wild land is gradually approaching. At this time, anyone who walks on the wild land can clearly see the air distortion caused by the fog rising from the high temperature on the Gobi. If it was the hottest time of midday, then even the most powerful demonic beasts in the Savage Lands would rarely be willing to show their faces at this time.
But even at this moment, there was still a group of people crawling on a high ground.
This is a high ground, and the terrain is not too high, but if you are just prostrate on the ground, then even if someone passes by on the ground, as long as you don't look up and look closely, you will still not be able to spot the people hiding here. What's more, this high ground can be observed from hundreds of meters away, and if the distance is pulled to hundreds of meters, it is even more difficult to find the people lurking in this high ground.
And at this moment, there happened to be a team walking on the Gobi in the wilderness.
The group was elongated, and many of them looked a little weak, their steps looking vain, as if they were about to rush to the next battlefield after a battle without any time to rest. This team may be due to exhaustion, so they did not continue to maintain the formation at all, but walked a little sparsely, and even stretched the line very long, looking endless.
In this team, there are quite a few people who have already been injured. They looked as if they had been subjected to some cruel treatment, and they had no hoods or cloaks, and they had to be helped to walk even by others.
The morale of the whole team is obviously in an extremely low situation, and even a little tired.
With the spirit and spirit level of this team, it is naturally impossible to find out. On a high ground hundreds of meters away, someone was watching them closely.
"The size of the team is more than 1,000 people." Andrei frowned, then spoke.
In terms of the judgment of a veteran of a wild land like Andre, it is undoubtedly the most accurate. Because if the judgment is not accurate enough, then for a slave catcher, it is no less than a catastrophe, after all, if you can't judge the approximate population of a tribe or even some related things in an instant and blindly attack, the result will never be good.
So when Andrei said the number of people in the team, everyone was already convinced of seven or eight points.
Of course, the remaining two or three points do not mean that they have any objections, in fact, the people present are all good commanders. Judging the number of troops by formation, team length, team thickness, etc., is a very basic step. It is precisely because of this foundation that every commander has his own pride, so retaining two or three points of doubt can be understood as a manifestation of self-esteem.
After all, everyone's strength is different. Different ways of looking at things and therefore different levels of accuracy in judging this aspect are also different.
"Can you see something?" Sean asked. "For example, which family's army is this, or what?"
"I can't see it." A lot of people watched for a while. In the end, he shook his head helplessly.
Sean and the others will know that this is an army, or if it is because of the reconnaissance report of Yim and Ruby that night. Later, when he killed Blair, Sean also discovered the wolf's subordinate, but unfortunately this subordinate seemed to be a supernumerary, so he didn't know anything about the wolf's origin, identity, and other information. In this case, Sean chose to let the scout go back to report to the wolf, and then the wolf rushed to the scene of the incident to clean up the mess, and now the scene in front of him.
Yes. Sean was planning a bigger counterattack from the start.
Sitting back has never been his style.
And seeing that the plan in front of him is being realized step by step, Sean also encountered a new problem.
They don't know where this army came from.
Every army must have its own origins, which can usually be judged by relying on clues such as flags, clothing, and even family coats of arms. And with Sean's true eye, as long as he knows these clues and deduces the origin of a force, then he can get the intelligence data of the entire army in the first place.
But the problem at the moment is that the people of this army are all wearing hoods and cloaks, and they do not have any banners, and it is simply impossible to determine the origin of this army. And in such an unknown situation, it is not a good idea to launch a surprise attack on an army of up to a thousand people, especially since this army also has several Golden Realm powerhouses.
"There are at least four Golden Realm powerhouses on the other side." After observing for a while, Clov quickly discovered the four powerful momentum hidden in this team, "The other party is very hidden, if it weren't for the other party's aura fluctuations and the surrounding environment, I really wouldn't be able to find it." ”
Clov said this, of course, for his purpose.
He had known Sean's plan last night: to lure the commander named Wolf out, then give them something to do, drain their physical strength, and then attack them on the way back. Because according to Sean's calculations, this army has been busy digging pits and collecting the wounded all morning, these things will consume at least half of their energy and physical strength, and then the return trip should be the hottest time, the enemy's mind will be in a state of irritability and relaxation, if a surprise attack is launched at this time, then Sean and others will completely occupy the three advantages of time, place, and people.
But it's a pity that Sean didn't expect the other party to be so cautious, as soon as he set out, thousands of people walked together, and there were actually four powerhouses in the Golden Realm, which made Sean feel a sense of loss that his calculations had failed.
And when Clov said this at this time, he was naturally reminding Sean not to mess around. With their current strength of less than 400 people, it is not a fun thing to launch a surprise attack on a thousand-strong team with four golden powerhouses, although it may not be impossible to defeat, but the casualties will definitely be very heavy. This is different from Clov's purpose of protecting Cecilia.
But if Sean insists on fighting, Cecilia will definitely not object, and will even immediately support it with actions, so in order to avoid such a situation, Clov has to stop it. If the main attacking force at this moment was not his troops, and Cecilia did not need to take risks, then Clov would never have reminded Sean that there were four golden powerhouses in the opposing team.
Although there is a lot of reluctance in his heart, Sean also knows that this planned surprise attack will not be successful.
If the other party only has two golden powerhouses, then he can still fight. But if the four golden powerhouses have an army of 1,000 men, it will not be the prey he can handle now. Because no matter how bad the army is, it is still a third-level army, not the armed soldiers of tribes like Trade Point, and there is an absolute difference between the two. And Clov was able to deal with two golden powerhouses, and that was also based on the fact that he had enough troops. And almost all of the troops had to be sacrificed.
Equally. Sean will be able to deal with two golden powerhouses in one go, but he will also be incapable of fighting after that. And even if Cecilia attacks with a large fire-based magic, the other party doesn't say whether it will give her this time, and even if it will, the enemy army is not a kobold, and it is impossible to collapse in fear because of a single magic. When the time comes, under the leadership of four golden powerhouses. Instead, Clov's army will be annihilated outright.
And after a golden powerhouse was killed by Sean in close quarters, will they give Sean another chance? I'm afraid they will use the tactics of fighting spirit and long attack distance to fight against Sean.
If that's the case, then it's not Sean and they raid the opponent, but they are beaten by the opponent in a beautiful counterattack.
Come to think of this. Sean finally sighed helplessly and said, "Withdraw." …… Let's go meet up with Rena first. ”
Hearing Sean say this, everyone nodded, and then began to carefully withdraw from the high ground, not daring to make too much noise. After all, the other party has four gold-level powerhouses, and at this distance, Sean and they can all observe the situation of the other party's army, which means that the other party is also likely to find the situation of Sean and others. And with the perception advantage of the golden powerhouse, Clov didn't even dare to observe the four breaths hidden in the crowd directly.
But at this moment, it was almost the moment when Sean and the others had just evacuated from the high ground.
The wolf of the commander of the army a hundred meters away from the high ground here, his face immediately became gloomy: "They are actually gone? ”
"Yes." An imposing man who was not inferior to a wolf said in a deep voice, "They have already begun to retreat, and it is possible that they have discovered that we are tempting them to attack." ”
"Damn it! What a bunch of cunning rats! The wolf let out a resentful curse.
As a follower of the third young master of the Nugus family, the wolf is also the person who is best at ambush warfare, sneak attack warfare and other insidious tactics, and he is also a golden powerhouse, so it is naturally impossible for his mind to be bad. Almost as soon as she saw the situation of Boller's death, she knew that Dao Sean and the others would definitely ambush them, so she made the entire army appear a little lax, and even hid in the team with several other golden powerhouses, thinking about the plan of the plan.
As long as Sean and the others dare to launch a surprise attack, then greeting them is a counter-ambush!
Obviously, because of some factors, Sean and the others did not find out why the four golden powerhouses such as Wolf were hiding in the team for a while. But no matter what, Sean and the others can indeed be regarded as escaping, and such a result makes the wolf naturally itch with hatred.
Because she didn't expect that Sean would give up such a big bait!
"Chase!" The wolf only groaned for less than five seconds, and immediately made a decision, "Leave three hundred men to escort the wounded back to the camp, you go back with the army, and the others will pursue with me!" ”
Soon, a team of seven hundred men and two golden powerhouses immediately followed the wolf and began to run towards the high ground.
In the blink of an eye, a surprise attack that Sean tried to launch turned into a wolf-led pursuit!
And at this time, Sean and the others didn't even know that their traces had been discovered! (To be continued......)
