There are a lot of wolf skins, each of which is hardened by the cold. Keel has a throat discomfort these days, so he went to rest directly. Before going to bed and resting, he pulled out the long sword, found a rope and hung it on a wall facing the sky in the stronghold.
This time he paid attention, he didn't dare to insert the long sword that absorbed the power of the sun into a high place, but did it casually in the camp.
The old hunters led the young hunters to clean the wolf skins they had finally brought back one by one. The main thing was to scrape off the fat layer inside the wolf skins with a dagger, and then put the wolf fat in a wooden bowl. Heat it next to the fire, and then use a wooden stick to spread slightly melted wolf oil on the surface of the wolf fur to prevent the wolf hair from being damaged and falling off.
Finally, the wolf skins were frozen hard and stacked neatly together.
Knight Lanisa came back and rested for a day, and then went out for a walk on her war horse. The other horses prefer to huddle together in the stronghold in this cold winter and don't like to move.
However, Knight Lanisa's war horse will lose its temper and lose its temper if it doesn't run around for a day.
In addition to handling wolf skins, hunters also need a day to rest. So, after they all rested in the stronghold for several days, everyone recovered from their exhaustion and injuries.
Kiel's own Saturn badge was also much dimmer, and less than half of the power contained in it was used to heal the burn on his throat. At this moment, they are in the vast and uninhabited forest, so it is naturally difficult to restore power to this thing.
During the repair time, Kiel also made some simple repairs to the armor on his body. The main body of the hard cowhide full-coverage armor has not suffered any damage from the previous high temperature, but some belts used for connection have lost their toughness and strength due to the high temperature. They were so dry and hard that they could no longer be used to connect armor parts.
Kiel approached Knight Lanisa about this, and asked her to give him permission to bring him the fur of a few wolf pup tails to repair the armor and straps.
The knight directly agreed, not to mention Kiel's bravery in the previous battle, but to say that Kiel's ability to maintain his combat ability in the future, part of which still depends on his armor.
Keel has seen how craftsmen in Ganna tinker with those connecting belts. Although it is in the wilderness and does not have all kinds of tools that are useful in the craftsman's workshop, Keel feels that the tail fur of the northern land wolf cubs is much thicker than before. The performance of the belt is better.
He cut off the stiff tail fur of the young wolf, and then heated it near the fire. After it softened, he used his own dagger to cut the peeled fur into small strips, and rubbed it with the remaining wolf oil. . After the nature of the fur changed, he disassembled the originally hardened and brittle belt parts, took out the metal parts on it, and then drilled holes in the wolf fur belt with a dagger, and embedded these metal parts to get stuck.
After finishing, Keel tried the strength of the new belt, pulled it, and had to use a lot of force to break it. Although it is not as strong as the previous belt, it is enough for the next battle.
After replacing the damaged connecting belt on the armor, there were still several deep pits and damage left by the bite of an adult northern land wolf on the armor. Keel barely used the remaining wolf leather belt to wrap around the damaged area, which was barely enough. Repair your armor.
After everything is done, everyone is ready, leaving an old hunter again, let an old hunter who has not been repaired look after the house, and the others are going to go out with Knight Lanisa to find clues of the northern land wolf.
-
Just when the hunters, including Kiel, had packed up and waited for the female knight who rode her horse in the morning to come back and set off, Knight Lanisa rode her war horse all the way from the rocky passage to the gate of the stronghold, opened the gate from the outside with one hand, and directly Throwing the reins of the horses, he said to the waiting team: "Everyone, it seems that we don't need to go out to find any traces of the northern land wolves. They can't bear it anymore, hum, they took the initiative to find them."
"My lord, what do you mean?" someone asked.
Knight Lanisa pointed to the forest at the bottom of the mountain: "Before we defeated and killed two litters of northern land wolves, they couldn't afford more losses. When I went for a walk just now, I found that the surrounding forests In the snow, there appeared a group of scouts sent by the northern ground wolf. Those guys, as soon as they saw me, they slipped away early."
Regarding this situation, the old hunters discussed it and felt that there was a high possibility that their battle with the northern land wolf would start soon.
In fact, it was similar to previous years. Knights and hunters went into the forest, looking for a team of northern land wolves that would not hibernate. With the knights leading the team, they had the upper hand. So, when the northern wolves could no longer bear the loss, they would all gather together under the leadership of the wolf king, trying to wipe them all out.
At that time, it was also the last stage that could cause a lot of damage to the northern land wolf.
Although Knight Lanisa never had the upper hand in the battle against the powerful Northern Wolf King, but with the rapid improvement of her knight skills, her situation is also changing rapidly.
And the hunters will kill the northern land wolves in large numbers, drive the northern land wolves back as a whole, and then remotely participate in the battle between the knights and the wolf king.
Although they only shot arrows from a distance, but in a battle of equal strength, a little bit of foreign aid from one side would greatly affect the final result.
At this time, Lanisa Knight's advantage has become very large. Although he still cannot seriously injure the wolf king, he will also repel him and fight again in the next year.
This is also why Knight Lanisa is so confident that she can completely kill the wolf king after Kiel joined in this year. Of course, those metal clips that can do a lot of damage to delay and stop the northern land wolf are also part of her calculation.
Everyone gathered around the fire, put aside their previous plans, and discussed what to do next.
Veteran hunters are more inclined to entangle and fight with northern land wolves here by taking advantage of the terrain advantage of the rocky mountain. They brought a lot of food last time, and if the food for the horses was not considered, the whole group of them could persist here for about a month at most. If we can take advantage of the time when the large number of northern wolf teams have not yet assembled, we can go to the snow near the rocky mountain to collect dry grass on the grass, which should be enough for the horses for half a month.
For such a long period of time, relying on the terrain to fight will definitely bring huge casualties to the Northern Land Wolves as a whole. Maybe they can easily defeat ordinary Northern Land Wolves, and then everyone will defeat the Northern Land Wolf King and completely destroy the Northern Land Wolves. The wolves have been scattered from a whole, so that they can no longer threaten the livelihood and production of people in northern Kendal County.
Although the plan of the old hunters seems to be okay, Yimei sticks to the stronghold and allows the northern land wolves to gather and fight against the whole northern land wolf. This has never happened in previous years.
In previous winter crusades, they also tried to move in and out as fast as possible. Firstly, the supply point is far outside the forest, and the food and supplies carried by each of them are not enough to support everyone to fight for a long time. On the other hand, the overall number of northern land wolves far exceeds their group.
Although the powerful knights and professional hunters allowed them to defeat any northern wolf team, everyone, including Knight Lanisa, lacked confidence in whether they could beat all the assembled northern wolf teams.
It can't be said that there is a lack of confidence. In fact, everyone still knows the result, but it is impossible to admit that they are weak to those beasts.
It wasn't easy for the rest of the team to comment on the old hunter's plan, but Knight Lanisa didn't like it.
She prefers quick and intense battles to long and protracted ones. The northern wolves were able to gather early under the command of the wolf king and prepare to fight them under the leadership of the wolf king. In fact, she hoped so even more.
After all, compared to ordinary northern land wolves, that wolf king was the real target of Knight Lanisa's crusade.
It was a personal revenge, and she didn't think that powerful wolf king had nothing to do with her father who disappeared in the forest many years ago.
Although she didn't believe that her father was inferior to a wolf king of the Northland, the wolf king she had defeated many times must be the culprit who killed her father and disappeared.
So it's a revenge. Not only about her father's murderous revenge, but also about the chain reaction that all this caused her.
She has a younger brother. Although he is young, he is healthy and strong. He will definitely be able to bear her father's title and strength in the future. But the disappearance of her father many years ago caused her to interrupt her studies in the provincial capital, disrupting her future life arrangements. The slender arms and weak fingers had to pick up cold and sturdy weapons, and the heavy armor bent her down more than once.
Bitter and painful knight training, if her father had not prepared her for some expectations when she was a child, she would have been overwhelmed by the arduous knight training.
So it's a revenge.
Why not try to persuade the Baron and Crow Knight, and lead hundreds of militiamen and all the people in Hekou Town and Wumihu Village to launch a cleanup operation and kill all the northern land wolves in the entire forest.
This is a personal revenge. The responsibilities and pressure of the family, the grievances and gossip of the people in the territory, and the gaze of fellow knights all overwhelmed her. At most, she called some hunters and warriors who didn't want to do it, to lead her in the forest and look for the northern land wolf. .
Over the past few years, she has also been forced by these pressures to think of various ways. In addition to working harder on knight skills, spending money to build a large number of metal clips that kill animals, and inviting Kiel who can improve the overall strength of the hunter team.
But she would not speak to Baron Kendall, and let the baron dispatch knights or a large number of militiamen.
Because this is a personal revenge.
-
Knight Lanisa proposed to attack directly, just like the previous battles, the wolf king was looking to surround them, and they were also looking for the wolf king. Attack or frighten the scouting northern wolves, find the wolf king, and then use everyone's means. When the wolf pack as a whole was weakened last year, they will definitely be able to defeat and kill the northern wolf king this time.
This was completely contrary to the plan of the old hunters, but because it was proposed by the knights, the four old hunters could not object. The young hunters felt that both were fine, so they had no position, and they didn't care.
Keel narrowed his eyes.
He felt that the old hunters' plan was a little too conservative. Although it seemed safe, the metal clips could be used to full play, and they could also take advantage of the favorable terrain on the rocky mountain to reduce the pressure when fighting a large group of northern land wolves.
But there are also problems. If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Simply relying on rocky mountains, this is tantamount to handing over the initiative of the entire battle to the northern wolf and the wolf king, so that those guys can safely disperse the entire northern wolf team. It all comes together.
No one knows how many northern wolves are in this forest, maybe there are only that many, and the slaughter of two wolf dens has already made the wolf king unable to sit still and want to gather all his strength to attack them, perhaps beyond their imagination. Even the appearance of the unusual and weird northern land wolf may also show that the scale and rise of the northern land wolf cannot be underestimated.
However, Lanisa Knight's plan is also somewhat path-dependent, which is also a kind of alternative conservative. It seems radical and full of offensive, but it completely relies on previous experience and considerations. Not only did they fail to take advantage of their own changes this time, but they also greatly ignored the changes in the Northern Land Wolves.
Those cunning and ferocious beasts will not sit still, being attacked by knight hunters year after year, nor will they let their groups be buried under the bones and snow and mud of the forest, or crushed and digested and eaten by other animals.
There are more young wolves than Knight Lanisa expected before, and the weird northern land wolf that greatly exceeds ordinary animals and ordinary northern land wolves is the second.
Those weird northern land wolves surpassed ordinary monsters, but were much weaker than the monsters they encountered before. Worryingly, they don't know exactly how many of this weird boreal wolf exist.
If every northern wolf team had one of these guys, then the old hunter's plan would just be to sit still and seek his own death.
And Lanisa Knight's plan also has a lot of variables.
After Keir coughed a few times, he attracted everyone's attention, and then he expressed all his thoughts just now. Now that he himself is in the team, he has no choice but to say something in the face of the team's major decision-making differences and possible future results.
After all, if he didn't say a word and the team as a whole ended badly afterwards, Kiel might regret his decision at this time.
"So, you oppose the two plans?" Knight Lanisa didn't get angry or angry. The team was assembled by herself, and all the roles played by everyone in the team at this time were to provide her with support, even for It was also a good thing that her plan raised objections.
In fact, many years of reading and studying as a girl have allowed her to develop many good habits, one of which is not to speak violently to others.
Keel looked at everyone and saw that everyone was sitting by the fire, just watching him in silence, the expected anger and argument did not appear. He smacked his lips, feeling that the different world was still very different from the original world.
The original world was peaceful but full of conflicts of interests. Most people contact each other for their own interests. In the face of various possible interests between people, a simple dispute is a very minor behavior. Everyone is only in front of the greater good, will they be polite and act together with each other with ease.
There are also people and things that simply act without interests, but they all can be used as a piece of talk or news to appear in the spread.
It's outrageous.
A world where peace is far away from struggle makes people forget that, compared to superficial interests, everyone's own life is the most important source of interests.
When Kiel figured this out, he smiled, scratched his golden-brown hair, and told his plan.
-
Kiel's plan is not complicated. It is mainly a comprehensive plan that brings out the advantages of the old hunter and the female knight and eliminates the disadvantages as much as possible.
The rocky mountain stronghold has plenty of supplies, which can provide them with a certain period of time.
But the northern land wolf can't.
The reason why the northern land wolves living in the forest have to live scattered is very simple, because it is difficult for herbivores in one place to meet the survival needs of the excessive number of carnivorous northern land wolves.
Even if northern land wolves are cruel and intelligent, they are animals after all. Without human intelligence and organization, it is impossible to develop the habit of storing food for war~www.mtlnovel.com~ They are inferior to some rodents and forest monkeys in this matter.
Combat is different from everyday survival. As a member of the forest, northern land wolves usually need to spend a lot of time hunting. If they can't catch their prey, they will have to go hungry.
And the wolf king gathered all the northern land wolves, and it seemed that their strength had been strengthened, and the number would definitely exceed what they could handle. But it will also bring great hidden dangers. As hunting animals, when they gather together in large numbers, the herbivores in this area will be killed or run away.
In less than half a day, there will be no other animals in the places where the northern land wolves gather.
what do they eat
So if you stick to the rocky mountain stronghold, the most dangerous thing may be the first few days when the northern wolf is assembled by the wolf king. After that, a large number of northern land wolves will still leave here, either return to the wolf den to take care of the young wolves, or scatter in large numbers to attack other animals that escaped.
But it is also difficult for them to say that they can survive the first two or three days.
After all, although the rocky mountain stronghold has geographical advantages, when the Wolf King and Lanisa Knights fight, whether these geographical advantages will not be destroyed by their battle is another matter.
Hearing what Kiel said, Knight Lanisa looked at the armor pattern on her arm in embarrassment, because she also thought that when fighting the wolf king before, the battlefield would often be destroyed in a mess.
The old hunters and the young hunters who participated in the battles in the past also looked scared. If the battlefield is really placed here, the situation will be really hard to say.
But this doesn't mean that it's not good to place the battle here. On the contrary, the terrain here couldn't be more suitable for dealing with a certain number of northern land wolves.
Keel then began to analyze.
