Chapter 61 Temptation
Section 61 Test
"That's right." Gander nodded. "But if too much power is left to protect women and children, then the front line will be insufficient. The failure of the hunter is due to this."
The battle they had witnessed before proved Gander's opinion.
"How about leaving 30% of the troops to defend based on the strong defense of the main camp, and 70% of the troops to the front line?" Ashu Rufate said as if he was talking to himself.
"It's perfect." Gander just smiled at this. "But losing his weaknesses also eliminates his advantage. This means completely losing the opportunity to win. The front line is on the defensive due to its inferior force, and the same is true for the camp."
Ashu Rufate was a little surprised to find that Gander had a tactical vision. Well, let alone other things, if Gander was the leader of the terrorist war gang, then Ashu Rufate might have wandered alone in the wilderness - perhaps with Claire.
"But you have to understand..." Ashu Rufat pondered for a moment and said. "In this case, it is very dangerous. If a third party intervenes... For example, here we are," he pointed his hand in the rear, which was the direction where the large army was. "Such as a mere hundred people can pose a huge threat to a powerful tribal camp."
One hundred people are not a large team, and some large-scale trade teams have more people than this one.
"So if there were no huge profits, the tribes would not devote themselves to a war," Gander replied. "It is rare to see situations like the Wandering Hunter and the Kazar Tribe. Their premise is to be sure that no third party will appear." He grinned. "No one noticed us."
"Is the key still scout?" Ashu Rufat whispered to himself. "Gander, how many troops do you think it is necessary to attack a tribe with only the elderly, weak, women and children?"
"It depends on the size," Gander replied. "Besides, even if you attack with all your might, there will be some young warriors in the tribe, right? In addition, don't underestimate women and the elderly... Maybe they are vulnerable in the field, but they can still play a role in guarding the camp."
"That's true."
"Plus with the fortifications of the camp itself..." Gander replied. "Even if it is our tribe, it is not easy to break the gate as long as it is closed. Without special equipment, such as a city hammer, it is impossible to break a camp. At least it is impossible in a short time. Those weapons are very bulky."
"What if you use a hook rope?" Ashu Rufate remembered the previous battle with the terrorist war gang.
"Oh, that's an exception. Under normal circumstances, hooks are useless." Gander replied patiently. "It's just that the fortifications in our camp are too weak. Under normal circumstances, there are sheds covered on the camp wall... Haven't you been to the main camp of Wanzhunter? I remember that's what it is there."
"That's right." Ashu Rufat said softly. "There is a high possibility that the sneak attack with a few troops will not succeed. After all, once the war begins, everyone will be vigilant and guard against it."
Gander looked at Ashu Rufate, but he did not find any available information on Ashu Rufate's face. As the contact deepened, he felt more and more that this sanctuary named Ashu Rufate was extraordinary. This man sometimes showed an extremely elusive feeling. Most importantly, this man had long been accustomed to hiding all his inner activities under the mask, which was not something ordinary people could do.
But Gander knew that he had to figure out the secret behind this sanctuary. This was the death order given by the wizard Asovin.
They had originally speculated about this, but when Gander brought Flint's spear to Asovin, the situation was completely different.
Flint's magic spear was clean and there was no blood on it.
Asovin confirmed that the enchantment of this spear is indeed imperfect, which causes the magic energy to last for a period of time (and not too long). However, the magic attached to the spear only makes the spear sharper and tougher, rather than making the spear not contaminated with the smell of blood. A weapon like a spear cannot be contaminated with the smell of blood after killing people.
The only explanation is that this spear has never been used.
However, everyone (including Gander) witnessed Flint bringing his spear to fight the provocation of the wandering warriors and then returning safely. Flint did not take the initiative to talk about the battle process, but since the result was released, the battle process was actually not very important, so no one asked. And the spear's
"Is the so-called provocation of the wandering warriors fake?" Flint was immediately stunned.
"Yes, it should be just a cover. The real thing is to invite Flint to have a negotiation." Asovin was even more calm. After all, the tribal leader was not in vain for so many years, so he quickly made the most likely judgment. "Under normal circumstances, Flint almost never had the chance to participate in such secret talks alone... He could not leave for too long without doubt. But the challenge of a wandering warrior gave him a chance to go out alone and meet a representative of a certain force. What's even better is that it won't arouse anyone's suspicion, and even I... was almost hidden."
“What is negotiating?”
"It may be difficult to get it directly from Flint's mouth. But..." Asovin looked at Gander. "Ashrufate accompanied Flint, which shows that he should be a link behind this secret transaction. I think Ashrufate is a middleman. Moreover, since he is about to leave our tribe... he will not get much as this middleman, and he does not have the awareness of keeping this secret."
Ashu Rufate patted his clothes and stood up. For some reason, this simple action made Gande shiver. He then told himself that it was an illusion that it was just because he recalled it so much that he was frightened.
"It's almost time to rest, Gande, it's time for us to set off, right?" Ashu Rufat asked.
"Yes." Gande replied. He took the initiative to lead the way.
"Another thing, Gande, can we completely eliminate the scouts of the other party when confronting each other in tribes?"
"Impossible." Gande answered almost without thinking. "Unless there is the cooperation of a traitor... it is difficult even if there is the cooperation of a traitor."
"So, can we suppress the other party's scouts and prevent them from returning the news in time?"
"It's even more impossible. The magic communication scroll is not a decoration." Gander scoffed at Ash Rufate's fanaticism. "Unless you can summon dozens of wizards. Because I heard that if there are enough wizards, you can cover up a large range of magic communications."
"So, if two tribes are hostile to each other, then sneak attacks are basically impossible, right?"
"That's it. A small-scale sneak attack, dozens of people, about a hundred people, etc., can't be defended. But as long as the number increases... three hundred people, no, more than five hundred people, it's basically impossible to hide it."
Ashrufa nodded. "That's the reason. Therefore, the Chaos Warriors have developed the habit of frontal combat. Although they are aggressive, they mainly fight in actual combat, and rarely use techniques such as raids, detours, interspers, and ambush."
He remembered the process of the war before. The cavalry of the United Legion had excellent performance on the battlefield and almost broke the enemy's wing. If it weren't for the fact that the strength of the two sides was too large, perhaps that interspersed raid on the battlefield would have caused decisive consequences.
Although he is very strong, his tactics are relatively rigid on the actual battlefield. This may be what I mean to the evil god. Ashu Rufate told himself in his heart.
Ashu Rufate muttered to himself in a voice that he could only hear.
"By the way, Gande, I want to ask, Chaos Egg... It seems that I didn't see it in the tribe."
"It's all dead." Gande smiled. "There was a group of Chaos Eggs in the Speechless Panic Tribe, but unfortunately no one is seen now. Ninety-nine percent were taken away to join the Southern Expedition Legion."
At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the top of a small slope nearby. The terrain here is slightly higher and you can see a large grassland. In late spring and early summer, the green grass is full of green, and it has a vast and open beauty.
"By the way, Ashu Rufate, I have been together for so long, and I don't know what you want to do here? Could it be that you want to promote cooking technology, haha." Gander asked suddenly.
"No, I'm just here to find someone." Ashu Rufate replied.
"A woman?" Gander stood on the side of Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate looked at the grassland in front, but Gander's eyes stole the sight of Ashu Rufate. "Let me guess, your fiancée? The dream lover?"
"The lover in the dream may not count, but it is indeed the type I like." Ashu Rufate smiled again. "Okay, I admit, it's really a fiancée. Of course, if you say you're unmarried, you're actually missing a wedding."
"I know that the rituals of southerners are quite troublesome. There is a lot of red tape." Gander shrugged. "Let me guess, have you found the news? Or have you got the clue." When asked this, his eyes were staring at Ashu Rufate, observing even the subtle expression on his face.
"That's right." Ashu Rufate replied casually. His head turned around, and Gander staggered his eyes in time.
"Well, by the way, Ashu Rufat, you said we accepted the agreement of speechless panic this time...is it very dangerous?"
"There must be danger, and it may not be "very"."
"Well, do you think it's better for us to accept the agreement? But those are big tribes, and any one can pull out a troops of thousands of people... If we are exposed, it will definitely be a dead end. I think it's too dangerous, so it's better to leave after getting the horses. With so many horses, the tribe's actions will be much faster, and we may be able to leave this place. There is no chance to cause trouble for us by panic speechlessly." Gander tried his best to make his words seem casual.
"Gander..." Ashu Rufate suddenly said. "You're right."
"ah?"
"It's a pity... I can't live without it." Ashu Rufate sighed. Even he himself didn't know what this "can't live without it" meant.
"Why can't you leave it?"
"Scout." Ashrufate replied. "There are too many scouts. In the front, in order to compete for control of the Yanchi, each tribe has prepared for war. A large number of scouts are walking there, and it is impossible to hide the relocation of a tribe of a thousand-person scale. We have no way to go ahead, and we have to go back the same way. But the Kazars are waiting there."
