I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 408 Who else is there

"Senior Colonel Xu, how are you getting ready?"

"Okay, where's your data?"

"It's all here. According to the past 130 eight records, the average number of reconnaissance monsters is 5.87, the highest is 8, and the lowest is 5."

"My statistics here are quality. The peak is the fourth-order dark shell beast, and the lowest is the first-order short-legged deer. The average level is 2.45."

Xu Ling understood a little in his heart, that is to say, the monsters that came out of the pass were generally six or seven, and most of them were second or third-tier monsters.

It’s no wonder that the purpose of these unlucky guys sent by the orcs is to “record” everything with their eyes, and then swallow the overflow magic crystal to obtain information. The loss is very high. If they send too high-level ones, they will be sent to the east side for nothing, or It is not worthwhile to be swallowed by oneself.

"How about it, Colonel Xu, are you sure?"

"If it is based on this strength, it should be fine. If there are four and eight, it may be a bit difficult. As long as the quantity and quality are not full, I am sure." Xu Ling said truthfully, neither exaggerating nor exaggerating. No humility.

The staff officer was very happy: "That's great. Generally speaking, their quantity and quality are out of sync. If there is one Tier [-] monster, there are usually only five in total. There will be no situation where both aspects are at the same time."

"That's good."

Xu Ling felt relieved and began to make final preparations.

……

"Back! Back! Back! Okay, stop, go to that position, hey, what about you! Don't tear down the tent yet! Ouch, don't move that camouflage net."

Jiang Sanjin, who has always been good-tempered, has a big head at this moment. The expeditionary force is all elite and has always been indomitable. It is easy to command them to fight, but now it is a bit difficult to arrange a fake retreat and disguise it.

"Slow down, slow down, don't withdraw all at once." He walked back and forth between the teams, and kept asking the ministers to lead their own people to hide as planned.

They were asked to move slowly because they were trying to let the scouting monsters see the movement here before they retreated completely, and then bring the news back.

In this way, the orc army would know that the expeditionary force was being mobilized on a large scale. When Xu Ling used illusion to control the next batch of reconnaissance monsters, it would be more reasonable to make them think that the expeditionary force had completely withdrawn.

"Sir, the whole army has retreated, the camouflage has been completed, the fire line has been set up, all the hidden points have been confirmed, and the plan can be executed at any time."

"Okay, let's go first."

Zhu Taran sent the commander away, and then said to Xu Ling, "It's up to you now, and you should memorize a few follow-up actions, and then we'll see how those orcs react and adapt accordingly."

Xu Ling nodded solemnly.

Zhu Taran smiled again: "It's okay, don't feel pressured, they won't be able to get all the troops out of the pass in a short time, even if they fail, it's just that the plan can't be completed, there won't be any serious consequences."

Xu Ling also gave him a confident smile: "No, I'm just thinking about how to control my strength."

Using illusion to control multiple monsters at the same time is very complicated. The difficulty lies not only in control, but more importantly, at the same time, he has to use dream swordsmanship to make several monsters fall into illusion the moment he appears, so that none of them can be missed.

"I'm ready to start anytime."

"Okay, hope everything goes well."

Zhu Taran walked back to the rear of the position, and ordered all the battle sequences to retreat to the hidden places prepared in advance, and the logistics personnel retreated further, and then the whole army fell silent, not allowing any noise.

Xu Ling hid very close to the pass, and now everything was ready, just waiting for the scouting beast to arrive.

However, since they crossed the pass to capture the group of people and came back, the monsters seemed to be more cautious. They no longer came out at a fixed time, sometimes they didn't come for half a day, and sometimes they came in two waves within a few hours.

So the expeditionary army didn't know how long it would have to wait, but in such a big battle, everyone retreated more than a kilometer, and tried their best to hide, everyone was holding back their energy to succeed.

But at this moment, all eyes were on Xu Ling. He was the key. If it was impossible to confuse and scout monsters with illusion, then everything would be useless.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

The expeditionary army was not very lucky. They waited for more than five hours for this wave before a few monsters arrived late.

They approached the east exit from the west side of the pass, sniffed their noses and moved forward slowly, and suddenly found that a lot of human smells were reduced in the air.

"Ow."

They moved forward against the stone walls on both sides, and gradually came to the end.

A dog-shaped monster walked out first, and looked around cautiously. After confirming that all the humans in Chen Bing's place had disappeared, it barked a few times and called out its companions.

At this time, Xu Ling, who was hiding not far away, started the wind walk.

Then they quickly approached the monsters, but they were too far away from him, so they were completely unaware.

At this time, Jiuxuanjin's skills are of no help to him. What is needed now is an opportunity for him to withdraw the Wind Walk, and then draw his sword instantly to cast illusions to confuse all the monsters.

But he had to wait until the angle that Xu Ling's illusion could cover. After all, it was impossible for him to cast the spell when the target's butt was facing him.

There are a total of six monsters this time, all of which are Tier [-], within the reasonable range of previous statistics.

Xu Ling had already rehearsed many times in his mind in advance, and he was also very proficient in illusion. Regarding this operation, at least on his side, it was foolproof.

After seeing the humans retreating, the monsters seemed very excited, looking left and right, and gradually, they began to walk outside.

In the eyes of the monsters, the surrounding woodlands are very calm and there is nothing suspicious. If the orcs hadn't ordered them to search carefully, they might have returned with the news long ago.

But the expeditionary army hiding behind was a little anxious. They did lay out some prepared bunkers and camouflage around the periphery, which blended with the environment from a distance, but once they got close, they could easily find flaws.

As the monster approached step by step, their hearts gradually lifted.

Due to the existence of Windwalk, most people don't know where Xu Ling is. Only a master like Zhu Taran can detect Xu Ling's location.

The leading dog-shaped monster walked forward with its head down, and doubled up with its paws when it encountered a pile of waste that had not been taken away. It would only continue walking after confirming that it was completely normal. It was extremely careful, and soon he approached Found a hidden bunker of the expeditionary force.

It stands to reason that this distance is enough for it to detect abnormalities.

But it didn't seem to see the camouflage net hidden in the forest at all, even though it was only a few meters away from some soldiers, it still lowered its head and sniffed around.

Finally, the reconnaissance monsters turned their heads one after another and returned to the direction of the pass.

Everyone knew that Xu Ling succeeded. He used illusion to control all these monsters without anyone noticing.

Zhu Talan crouched in the rear, recalling the details just now, as the strongest combat force of the expeditionary force, he could see clearly that Xu Ling just canceled the state of the wind walk in an instant, and drew his sword at the same time to attack the synchronous advance The monster cast an illusion, and then used the wind walk to hide itself again in an instant.

This set of operations happened in an instant, but the difficulty was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The returning demonic beast ran faster and faster, and finally ran back from the pass. Xu Ling finally withdrew his exercises and returned to the hidden position.

"Report, the mission has been successfully completed, and the phantom has been successfully set up. In their memory, we have completely evacuated."

Everyone in the headquarters wanted to cheer excitedly, but in order to prevent exposure, they suppressed such an impulse.

Observers continued to observe the pass from hidden corners, and within two hours there was movement.

An orc in full body armor came out with heavy steps, holding a steel spear in his hand, striding with his head held high, with a look of disdain for the world, as if he was shouting loudly into the empty space.

Who else? !
