Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 47 047. Encirclement and Suppression of Bloodstone

The autumn wind made the verdant mountains that are like spring all the year round a bit more refreshing, and the originally quiet and honest beasts became restless.

The same is true for the intelligent races, who have started to look for the objects they like and start working hard.

The patriarchs of the various tribes are also very supportive of these things, and they all hope to increase the population of their tribes next year.

But the wolves of the Bloodstone tribe don't have the heart to think about these things now. Since the patriarch disappeared, they have been living in panic.

The next morning after the patriarch left, the elders sent two teams of scouts to look for them, but there was no news after they left.

In the next few days, neither the hunting team nor the scouts who investigated the situation returned.

From time to time, the sentries guarding the tower could see figures walking through the woods, but the distance was too far, and they could neither see nor attack.

These things quickly spread in the camp, and all fools understood that there were enemies targeting the Bloodstone tribe.

And the enemy is not a demon, otherwise, there would not be so many twists and turns, and they would have rushed into the camp of the Bloodstone tribe long ago.

So the only answer is the Green Tribe who invited the patriarch to discuss.

Without the suppression of the patriarch, several strong gnolls began to gather their own teams, and the Bloodstone tribe quickly split into three or four small groups.

Some bloody men among them want to rush out to fight the enemy, and some want to escape in the dark, and what is even more exaggerated is that some people want to take the opportunity to elect themselves as the patriarch.

This plunged the Bloodstone tribe into chaos—until the food in the tribe was exhausted, and all the gnolls finally stopped.

No matter who is the patriarch, whether he is fleeing or fighting the enemy, he must first fill his stomach.

Finally, after eating the only remaining jerky, the four leading gnolls of the Bloodstone tribe reached an agreement and decided to charge against the unknown enemy together.

……

……

"High Priest, the scouts from the Red Feather Tribe report back, the gnolls from the Bloodstone Tribe are gathering!"

An open space under the hillside outside the Bloodstone tribe, the forest elf said out of breath.

Standing in front of her was Wen Lan, and Aode and the chiefs of the other two tribes were behind Wen Lan.

After hearing the news, Odd and the other two patriarchs looked at each other with a smile, and praised: "Your plan of siege but not attack has worked."

"This is not my plan. It was Master Dirsas who told me that you can clear out the guard posts outside the Bloodstone Tribe first, and then just surround them. The gnolls of the Bloodstone Tribe will come out by themselves."

Wen Lan still remembered that Dirsas just said something casually, and then fell asleep impatiently on the boulder.

And it was this sentence that made Wen Lan suddenly enlightened.

The weather in Rosen is hot, and food cannot be stored for long even in autumn. Moreover, there are many wild animals in the green mountains, and there are many fruits and other products. Few tribes will hoard a large amount of food.

At best, the uneaten meat is marinated and baked into jerky.

For a tribe of 500 people, the stored dried meat can last half a month at most.

The reality is that according to the habit of the wolf man, he would not think about such a long-term matter, so the wolf man of the Nine Heavens Bloodstone tribe could no longer hold on.

At this point, Wen Lan has a new understanding of the wisdom of Dirsas.

"Then it's time to trouble the three of you."

Wen Lan said to everyone: "According to the previous arrangement, [-] warriors from the Dragonscale Tribe will be in charge of the front, the Thorn Tribe will be in charge of the north, and the Canglu Tribe will be in charge of the south.

Patriarch Asuna asks you to lead the tribe to investigate the movement of the Bloodstone tribe, and try to keep all the gnolls of the Bloodstone tribe behind! "

"no problem!"

The three patriarchs responded in unison, with a little excitement on their faces.

Because according to Dirsas' order, all the wolf men captured in the Bloodstone tribe will become slaves of all tribes.

Wen Lan also made a distribution plan for the three patriarchs - whichever one is caught belongs to that tribe, and the Red Feather tribe, which is in charge of overall support, can pick people from the other three tribes.

It is worth mentioning that once a war breaks out in Rosen, it is very common for the prisoners of the defeated side to be treated as slaves.

The food of each tribe is not obtained out of thin air, and no one wants to raise some idle captives.

So either they were killed, or they were treated as slaves and became the property of the conqueror-this is also a kind of mercy.

"Okay, let's go!"

Wen Lan gave an order, and the three tribal leaders immediately returned to their respective positions to arrange the task.

As the scouts reported, it didn't take long for the door of the Bloodstone Tribe to open from the inside, and rows of gnolls walked forward slowly holding wooden shields and battle axes.

The Bloodstone Gnoll knew that there were enemies ambushing outside, so he was extra careful as he moved forward, and it took him half a day to walk more than 200 meters.

However, the forest elves standing on both sides had already lost their patience. As soon as the gnolls stepped into the range, they immediately attacked, and the rain of arrows covered the team of gnolls in an instant.

The gnolls in the front row raised their wooden shields and tried to block them, but the round shields in their hands could only cover half of their bodies, and some gnolls had no time to squat down and were shot down in their haste.

At the same time, the forest elves basically don't need to aim when throwing. They can throw continuously as they advance, and as they get closer, the arrow rain quickly passes over the wolf man's wooden shield and lands on the wolf man behind.

For a while, there were endless screams.

If you move forward more slowly, it is tantamount to sitting still and waiting to die. The wolf man seems to be aware of this problem, and immediately charged after a rapid wolf howl.

Seeing this, the forest elves quickly retreated to distance themselves, and the lizardmen of the Dragonscale tribe rushed out of the woods to confront the gnolls of the Bloodstone tribe head-on.

Compared with the screaming and roaring Gnolls, the charging Lizardmen were extremely quiet, only the sound of "cracking" shuttling through the forest sounded particularly depressing.

However, this did not affect the strength of the lizardmen warriors. They calmly waved the mace with one hand, but they were able to directly knock away the jackals holding their shields.

Except for the shaman, no one among the lizardmen can cast spells, so ordinary lizardmen can only rely on stronger bodies to defeat the enemy.

This is not only the advantage of strength, but also the thick scales on the back and limbs, which resisted part of the damage for them.

But the lizardmen were not clumsy. They could alternately use maces and bucklers very flexibly, defeating the gnolls steadily, making the originally weak breakout formation fall apart.

Lizardmen rushed forward bravely, while forest elves shot freely on both sides, and Harpy in the air harassed them from time to time.

With the cooperation of the three tribes and the superiority in numbers, the Bloodstone tribe's gnolls quickly fell into a defeat.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the wolf man immediately began to flee in all directions, and the next step was to capture the slaves.

……

"stop!"

Elune shouted coquettishly, and instead of stopping, the gnolls in front of them quickened their pace of fleeing.

In the end, Elune had no choice but to raise his bow and arrow to aim at the Gnoll, and then heard a whoosh, and a sharp arrow pierced through the Gnoll's thigh in an instant.

"Run! Keep running!"

The bow and arrow slapped the wolf man on the back of the neck twice, cursing angrily.

Although she shot the leg, it was still possible to cripple the gnoll if she was not careful.

"Tie it up and take it to Sister Dani for treatment, be careful not to let him become crippled."

Slaves are all laborers, and if their legs are lame, they will not be able to work smoothly. No one wants such slaves.

Handing over the gnolls to his subordinates, Elune prepared to continue hunting down the fleeing enemies.

And just when she picked up the longbow, an umbrella-shaped green grass plant at her feet attracted her attention.

She bent down, reached out and pinched off the small oval-shaped particles at the top of the umbrella, and then carefully put it in front of her nose to smell it.

The scent was strong, but Elune felt a little strange.

"Is this what Master Dirsas said, Cumin?"
