Chapter 133: No Kidding!
"This ......"
Mayor Crane frowned and thought for a moment, "It should be, right?" Since we've only seen these four ogres since we discovered them, it stands to reason that if there were more ogres in the vicinity, they would have gathered and stormed our city defenses. ”
Xu Feng nodded slightly.
Obviously, this mayor still has a brain.
It's just that, as the mayor of the town, his thinking ability at the strategic level is still somewhat insufficient.
These four ogres are from the other end of the canyon, they have given up the territory they have lived in for thousands of years, and they are definitely not wandering around for no reason.
Most likely, something is wrong with their territory.
Xu Feng looked at the map carefully, and finally nodded on a shadowy place on the other side of the canyon, "We have to go here." ”
Mayor Crane was taken aback, "What? Into the dark forest? This...... It's too dangerous! It's the heart of the ogre! ”
Gandalf took a puff of Charles tobacco, "Diedy, you think there's a problem there, too?" ”
Hammer blinked and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Xu Feng smiled faintly, "It's not that I think so, but there must be a problem." ”
The so-called strategic level, this is the case.
You have to take one step and see three steps, or even a little further.
The ogre's crisis to Canyon Town is not a serious matter, and the four ogres are not difficult to solve, but if you only solve the four ogres, then on the surface, it seems that there is no problem, but if you don't do it well, you will miss more serious problems.
Gandalf took a puff of smoke rings and said lightly, "Okay, then let's go." ”
Iron Hammer sighed helplessly, "I don't understand what you're saying, but it's a good thing to be able to go out and breathe." ”
Mayor Crane said eagerly: "Adults! Canyon Town needs you! Without you, how would we deal with those four horrible ogres! ”
Xu Feng said lightly: "It's okay, there are dwarves here, and the ogre can't break through the city defense in a short time." ”
The mayor of Crane said with an eager face: "But ......"
He didn't need a dwarf!
What he needs is "Diedy" and Gandalf!
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mayor Crane, we're just going to scout and we'll be back before dark." ”
Mayor Crane sighed helplessly, "...... Alright then, Diedi-sama, how many men do you need to bring? ”
Xu Feng smiled: "No, just the three of us." ”
Mayor Crane exclaimed, "Lord Diedi, stop kidding! The three of them went to the Dark Forest, even the elves who dominated the Dark Forest would think twice! ”
The scope of the Dark Forest is very large, and the elves only occupy one-third of the Dark Forest, and the remaining two-thirds are the territory of the dark monsters.
Mayor Crane's worries are naturally not unreasonable.
Xu Feng said lightly: "Taking ordinary soldiers with you is a burden, and it is just right for the three of us to go." ”
Mayor Crane said worriedly, "However, if you have three longs and two shortcomings, I will die of guilt, and even if I don't die of guilt, the people of Arno will scold me to death." ”
Xu Feng smiled, "Put your heart in your belly, Mayor Crane." ”
Mayor Crane sighed helplessly, "Alright then, it's just, whatever help you need, please tell me, and I'll do my best." "Book every day
Xu Feng smiled: "Well, I know, but we don't need anything for the time being." Lao Gan, you prepare, I'll talk to Thorin first. ”
"Okay." Gandalf nodded, taking a hard sip of his charr tobacco.
When he reached the dark forest, he couldn't keep smoking like this anymore.
The scent of charr tobacco would alert the monsters, so Gandalf had to take a few more puffs now.
Xu Feng pointed to the parchment map on the desktop and said, "I took this map." ”
Mayor Crane hurriedly said, "Of course! ”
Xu Feng rolled up the parchment map and put it in his pocket.
There is also a map in the dwarven expedition, but that map is in Thorin's hands, so naturally it is impossible to give it to Xu Feng.
Therefore, Xu Feng must bring his own.
He followed the passage inside the arrow tower and walked in the direction of the arrow tower on the east side.
By the time he reached the arrow tower on the east side, the dwarves had already set up a cauldron on the tower, and the instant noodles had already been soaked, and they were inviting the Terran guards to eat together.
The Terran guards had never seen such a thing as instant noodles before, and they were all very curious, and when some of them tried it, they immediately ate it with excitement.
The dwarves also giggled, not taking the city defense seriously at all.
Even Sorin, who has always been very dignified with a straight face, is holding a large bowl at this time, happily drinking instant noodle soup.
Xu Feng frowned slightly.
Such military discipline is really somewhat lax.
However, considering that the Terran guards are already very tired, it is understandable to eat instant noodles to relax.
Xu Feng cleared his throat, "Yo, are you eating?" ”
When the dwarves saw Xu Feng, they stood up together and saluted, inviting Xu Feng to eat with them.
Xu Feng waved his hand, "I was already full at the banquet just now. I'm here to talk to Thorin alone. ”
Thorin drank the instant noodle soup from the bowl, then wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up and said, "Okay, no problem. ”
Xu Feng said: "Let's take a step to speak. ”
Thorin followed Xu Feng to the edge of the uninhabited arrow tower.
"What's wrong?" Thorin asked, confused.
Xu Feng smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, just to tell you, Gandalf and I still have the hammer, and the three of us are going to leave the team for a while." ”
Thorin's eyes widened suddenly, "What? ”
Xu Feng hurriedly said: "It's just for the time being, we have to go to the dark dense forest at the other end of the canyon to see the situation." ”
Thorin asked, "Why did you run so far?" Aren't ogres just outside the city? ”
"Yes, the ogres are indeed outside the city, but they shouldn't be here. There must be a reason why they gave up their previous territory and crossed the canyon, and we have to find out why. ”
Thorin frowned and said, "Is this necessary?" We're just passing through here, and I've promised to help the townspeople of Canyon Town deal with ogres, and now, we just have to wait for those four ogres to appear, and then we can work together to kill them, and then we can continue on our way, why do you want to go so far and in such a dangerous place? ”
Xu Feng smiled faintly: "Solin, I came to tell you about this, not to ask for your permission, but to inform you." ”
Xu Feng didn't want to reason with Sorin, because the knowledge of the two was not on the same level at all, and no matter how clear the reason was, it would be useless.
