Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1196 Variables (II)

The team responsible for monitoring the greenskin camp is basically composed of two Giant Eagle Knights and one Pegasus Knight.

This is undoubtedly a considered decision.

The Giant Eagle Knight flies fast and once he discovers a situation, he can send the message as quickly as possible, while the Pegasus Knight has greater endurance and can carry out long-term surveillance work.

In this way, a clear division of labor was formed.

The Pegasus Knight was responsible for keeping an eye on the situation in the greenskin camp, while the two Giant Eagle Knights were responsible for notifying Zhou Xu and the large force in the rear as quickly as possible.

Compared to the green-skinned Goblin Wolf Riders, the Giant Eagle Riders ignored the terrain all the way and their speed was undoubtedly much faster.

It was late at night when he arrived.

Being forcibly awakened by his own soldiers while he was sleeping, Li Ce did not show any annoyance on his face. He quickly washed his face with cold water and said after perking up a little...

"Go inform the commander of the female warrior tribe to discuss the matter."

During this period, at the Great Zhou camp, apart from Li Ce, the two most important generals in the army, Silk and Diak, were the first to arrive at the meeting tent.

Not long after that, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a burly and fat-faced figure walked in quickly. It was Brett, the great general of Mistila City.

She had a buzz cut, no eyebrows, and an extremely hideous scar that ran from one side of her scalp across her cheek, occupying almost half of her face, making her look quite intimidating.

"I heard that there is news coming back?"

Brett's voice was also quite rough, even a little hoarse, and she got straight to the point right away.

Li Ce nodded after hearing this.

"According to the latest news from the Giant Eagle Knight, the Greenskin Camp has sent about two thousand Goblin Wolf Cavalry towards us."

"There is no doubt that our whereabouts have been exposed. They are coming for us."

Everyone present remained very calm about the situation.

It is unrealistic for a large army to hide its whereabouts when on the road, not to mention that if they want to take the shortest route from Mistil City to the Smith Kingdom, then this is the only way.

Knowing that the territory of the female warrior tribe is next door, the other side only needs to send a small number of troops to keep an eye on this area.

The Giant Eagle Knight had come to inform them once before, so Li Ce and Brett were well aware of the current situation.

After briefly confirming this, Li Ce continued speaking...

"This scale of troops is obviously not here to encircle and suppress us. They are here to hold us back."

As of now, they have avoided the biggest crisis, but this does not mean that the two thousand goblin wolf cavalry will be easy to deal with.

"We are now marching along the foot of the mountain. The Goblin Wolf Cavalry has the ability to move flexibly on the mountain. Once they start to move, they can use the mountain environment to frequently attack us."

"Although our Swift Dragon Cavalry also has the ability to move flexibly on the mountain, there are only 500 of them, while the enemy has 2,000. We simply don't have the ability to engage them."

At this point, everyone has realized the difficulty of these two thousand Goblin Wolf Cavalry. The other side may only be able to launch some harassment attacks, but if they continue to harass like this, how much combat effectiveness will they have when they reach the main battlefield?
The other side undoubtedly achieved the goal of slowing down their marching efficiency. As Li Ce analyzed, everyone was obviously having a headache.

These two thousand Goblin Wolf Cavalry may not pose much of a threat, but they are certainly difficult to deal with.

Just then, Brett spoke up...

"The Goblin Wolf Cavalry have a very fast burst speed over short distances, but their long-distance movement speed is average. Moreover, they are physically weak and cannot reach here in a short time. I can march urgently overnight and try to get out of the area connecting to the mountains before engaging them, and directly kill them on flat terrain!"

After all, their Great Zhou's experience in fighting the greenskins is still not as good as that of the female warriors. As for the various types of greenskin troops, they, the Great Zhou, only have a general understanding of the opponent's specific positioning and some capabilities visible to the naked eye, but they can't actually tell you about further detailed intelligence.

The female warriors are different. They and the coalition forces have been fighting against the greenskins all year round and have been conducting research on the greenskins. This allows Brett to get to the point right away.

"This method works!"

The situation was urgent and there was no time to waste, so Li Ce made the decision directly.

"Let our cavalry units go ahead and kill the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the other side. As long as we add regular cavalry, we can wipe them out according to the size of our cavalry units on both sides."

"Under this premise, out of caution, the infantry troops have also adjusted their marching routes. It doesn't matter if they take a little more detour. We must stay away from the mountainous areas until the threat from the Goblin Wolf Cavalry is eliminated!"

"In this way, even if the Goblin Wolf Cavalry breaks in, we will still be able to fight without the mountain environment to back us up, and we can also curb their actions to a certain extent!"

An ambush operation is not 100% certain to be carried out. Li Ce cannot put all his chips on the line. He must have a backup plan. This is also his habit.

The relevant orders were issued as quickly as possible, and the two camps were soon awakened from their slumber. The cavalry units that received the orders set out overnight to carry out the interception mission.

The infantry troops also broke camp and left, distancing themselves from the mountainous environment overnight to avoid being attacked by the opposing Goblin Wolf Cavalry.

At this moment, the Giant Eagle Knight has completely become the hub for transmitting information in this series of actions, constantly connecting intelligence information from various places.

During this time, Zhou Xu and Yarvet, after learning that the Blood Hand Clan had sent out Goblin Wolf Cavalry to delay their large army, quickly had a discussion around the situation. After coming up with a feasible tactic, they sent the Giant Eagle Knights to Li Ce and his men as quickly as possible.

It was not until the Giant Eagle Knights from the rear troops came to report the situation to them that Zhou Xu realized that the other party had exactly the same idea as them.

This situation made Zhou Xu feel extremely relieved.

A reliable commander can always help him worry less.

While there is still time, get some more sleep.

After all, if nothing serious happens to the rear troops, that means something big is bound to happen in the Smith Kingdom tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, a burst of urgent horn sounds directly broke the tranquility of the night.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

The sound of someone shouting "enemy attack" at the top of his lungs came faintly from a distance, causing Zhou Xu to slap his cheek hard.

Good boy, I was so naive! Something unexpected happened tonight!!
