Chapter 476 Biting the wrong hook
At this point in time, Xu Ling didn't think there was any problem with the appearance of this monster. After all, Wood Town is not too close to the factory area, and the Expeditionary Force has never gone to clear it out. Maybe the remaining monsters there ran out.
Despite this, he still planned to go and see it in person and could not miss any possible risks.
"You guys stay here to watch, I'll go to Woodtown."
"yes."
The scouts monitored according to normal points, while Xu Ling walked directly to the west.
He spent most of his time hiding his figure by stealth, but he did not encounter monsters on the way, and went to the periphery of the ruins of Woodtown.
At this time, he could clearly feel the aura, and there were more than one monster.
He quietly entered the town and found out the location of all the monsters without going through many twists and turns. Because there were no orcs here, they could naturally not restrain the monsters. In this case, they were not much different from the wild ones, which is why one would run to the reconnaissance area of the Expeditionary Force without authorization.
Despite this, Xu Ling was still sure that they were definitely sent by orcs. Because they had been dealing with the monsters for many years, anyone in the Expeditionary Force was very clear about the population structure of a monster community. Some monsters could not appear together spontaneously unless there were summons from the upper level, such as beast kings, or orcs.
Among the small group of monsters in front of me, at least three should not appear at the same time without reason. The orcs didn't care about these things, because under their call, the monsters would not have any disobedience, even if they were asked to die, they would do it.
Xu Ling thought about it and did nothing in the end, just retreated quietly without disturbing them.
There are only about twenty monsters in Wood Town, and there is no particularly powerful existence. Let these guys be here, even if they charge towards the factory area later, it will not cause any harm. But if they take action at this time, they may be alarmed.
Back at the place where the scouts were alerted just now, Xu Ling informed them of the situation.
"Sir, what should I do now?"
These people knew that if Xu Ling wanted to kill all of them at will, he would kill them at will. Since he didn't do this, it means he must have other concerns.
"You continue to be alert and report it as soon as possible if you find any abnormal movement."
He continued to say that everyone stayed here, and then quickly rushed back to the temporary command center where there were no one else, and then called Luo Zhiqiu, the head of the reconnaissance force.
"Sir, you asked me to come, is there anything wrong?"
After Xu Ling became a major general, this woman was a little more restrained than before, but the effect was not very obvious, and she was still used to getting very close.
Xu Ling took a half step back, and then said in a business manner: "From now on, we need to work hard for a while, and I suspect that the enemy is approaching us."
Hearing this, Luo Zhiqiu became serious: "Why?"
Xu Ling said everything that had just happened, and then said, "I don't feel like I'm going to attack, otherwise there would be no reason to put a bunch of monsters alone in Woodtown."
"So what are those monsters going to do, sir?" Luo Zhiqiu's tone became soft again.
"How do I know?"
Xu Ling glared at him, "I have to go around again."
Luo Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Are you alone? Otherwise, let's have two of us together?"
"You should arrange your reconnaissance work quickly! I'll do it alone."
After saying that, he hurried out.
Now he has doubts about the orcs' movements, so Xu Ling naturally will not strengthen his reconnaissance and wait. He has to take the initiative to attack and search for some points outside the original reconnaissance range.
"So, where should I go?"
I have been to Wood Town to the west, and there is only a troubling of monsters. I still need to go and see them in the north, south and east directions.
He squatted down and took out a coin.
Go to the north from the front, go to the east from the back, stand up and go to the south.
The coin was thrown into the air with a silence, and then stood firmly on the ground from the side.
Xu Ling was stunned.
The muddy ground is not flat.
He had never thought that the coins could be stood up here, but he didn't care too much. He picked up the things and put them in his pocket, digged the soil on the ground, and left the factory area directly from the south.
His speed was very fast, and the reconnaissance troops had already left the area before they could take action and approached the Blue Lake.
The water in this lake is not blue. Perhaps before the demonization, there is only a pool of turbid stagnant water left. The reason why Frieg lets Fry stay in this place has nothing to do with the lake itself. It is mainly because it is surrounded by woodland on both sides, which is suitable for hiding. Anyway, the purpose is not to really let him attack, so he can hide.
When Xu Ling approached here, he directly encountered the orc scout.
However, with the storm of wind, he naturally could not let the other party discover himself. Instead, he used those guys to follow him to find the location where the large army was located.
Xu Ling did not dare to get close because the orcs had a very small formation. Although the number was less than a whole legion, it still looked decent.
What he is not sure about now is where these guys came from and whether there are any supervisors in it.
In order to get information, he squatted in the woods for an hour, but did not see the governor appear.
"Isn't it? It's so weird."
It is not surprising that an orc army appeared in the Blue Lake. They may be ambushing here. Once the expeditionary force wants to march to Marcus, they can cooperate with the frontal blocking, or hide and attack from behind.
But it would be strange if they didn't have a supervisor here. According to the information they knew, there were five people in the expeditionary army who could fight against the supervisor alone. If there was no supervisor in any army and they would be in vain if they were alone in the back.
Xu Ling was very confused. After thinking for a while, he decided not to alert the enemy. He went back and asked Luo Zhiqiu if he had found out the information.
He quietly retreated, then set off and started to return. He was retreating for a while to the factory area when he suddenly heard something moving ahead.
Xu Ling reacted quickly and turned over and climbed up a tree next to him. Even if the high-level orcs were patrolling here, it would never be possible to find him.
However, this time he miscalculated, and the figure ahead suddenly stopped and pulled out his weapon, showing a look of vigilance.
Since the other party did not deliberately cover up his breath, Xu Ling also clearly realized that the orc troops ambushed here were the ones in front of him.
The woods were covered with shadows and the light was not bright. Xu Ling could not see the other person's appearance clearly, but judging from his figure, he didn't look like a female orc, so he should be the guy named Frey.
The effect of Qifengbu in front of such an enemy will be reduced. Both of them have already noticed the existence of each other and the battle is about to break out.
Xu Ling is under great pressure. It is difficult to run under a supervisor. If you want to fight, you must fight quickly. At least you must seriously injure the opponent as soon as possible and lose the ability to pursue him. Otherwise, it will only be a matter of time before the orcs come out to support him and he will lose.
At this time, among the people stationed in the Blue Lake, two high-level orcs were whispering.
"Where have you been?"
"He said to go and have a look around."
"Have you been back for so long?"
"Just stay honestly. He explained before leaving. No matter what happens, otherwise we will twist our heads off."
"Then I'll say so much, shut up you."
