Chapter 375 Let’s reconstruct the attack
After resting and making a series of preparations, this improvised reconnaissance team set out in the middle of the night.
They took a light Marutori carriage and arrived at the ruins of the attacked village before dawn.
Find a random place to park the Marutori car.
Looking at Marudori's blank eyes, Gordon felt heavy - he had a hunch that he might not be able to take these two Marudori cars back.
Since the hunt for Thunder Wolf Dragon began, the Marutori cart has become a consumable item, and the Marutori pulling the cart often doubles as a "bait".
Who makes Thunder Wolf Dragon’s favorite food is Marutori?
Leave these unimportant things behind.
More than a day has passed since the last time they came here. The decomposition of the corpse has become more serious, and the air is filled with a pungent stench.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Julius's usually stern face became even colder.
"Nearly a hundred casualties" as a word sounds and brings a completely different feeling than seeing it with one's own eyes.
Even Nadia, who is usually gentle and cheerful, could not help but clenched her fists.
Gordon patted Julius **** the back of the shoulder and continued walking forward, "Let's get started."
“Well, Nadia, height alert.”
“Understood, Hayata, help me keep an eye on my back.”
"OK."
Gordon and Julius walked into the ruins of the village and carefully observed and analyzed the various traces around them.
Gordon had already observed some of them when he came last time, but after all, he was in a hurry before and there were always many things he missed.
The two of them wandered around the ruins for nearly half an hour.
“This should be the place where the hunters stationed in the village fought.”
"Why"
Julius sighed softly and bowed to the two blackened and mangled corpses.
They fought desperately to the last moment, but unfortunately the absolute gap in strength cannot be made up by willpower alone.
“They have a clear division of labor.”
Gordon whispered: "Only one of them fought with the hunters. The other Thunder Wolf Dragons went to attack the villagers. One hunter tried to stop them, but failed."
“Can you confirm the specific number of Thunder Wolf Dragons?” Julius asked.
Gordon thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "It's difficult, the footprints are too messy."
“You don’t need an absolutely precise answer, just tell me your opinion. Intuition is sometimes more important than evidence.” Julius looked at Gordon and said.
Gordon tapped his forehead with his knuckles. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Looking at the overall situation, my judgment is that there are three to four heads.
One of them fights the hunters, and one or two attack the villagers separately. I prefer two in this part, otherwise there should be more villagers who can escape and survive.
In addition to the above, there is another special one. "
"special?"
“Well, come over here and take a look.”
Gordon took Julius to the main road in the village, "Look at these paw prints, are they bigger than the previous ones?"
“Yes, obviously, this one should be bigger.” Julius confirmed after visual inspection.
“I didn’t notice this set of footprints when I came here last time, because these are the only traces left by that ‘special’ guy.”
Julius frowned, "The only trace? These are obviously tracks left by slow walking. Do you mean this one didn't participate in the siege and killing of the villagers?"
“That’s what I think.”
Gordon nodded and pointed to a house not far away, "Did you see that urn?"
At that time, Ted was comparing 'kings' and 'lords', and the little girl suddenly said, 'The first lord is cyan, and the later king is golden.' This was the only sentence she ever said. .
I thought that she might have seen something while hiding in the urn. "
"later"
Julius's eyes narrowed slightly. His focus was not on 'gold', nor on 'king', but on the most inconspicuous attributive.
“You noticed it too, right?” Gordon knelt down and stroked those particularly huge paw prints.
“The village chief’s lady also asked the survivors for us, and they only mentioned the terms ‘giant blue wolf’, ‘blue monster using thunder and lightning’ and ‘super-large wolves everywhere’.
Only the girl mentioned the word "gold". Let's temporarily ignore the possibility of "illusion" and "misunderstanding".
The villagers who successfully escaped did not see it, but the girl who had been hiding in the urn saw it, which shows.”
“The golden guy only appeared after the attack.” Julius continued.
“Let’s use the existing discoveries as a skeleton, fill in the guesswork, and try to restore what happened at that time.”
Gordon stood up, "At night, two or three, well, let's call it three, three Thunder Wolf Dragons attacked the village.
One of them was stopped by two hunters, and the other two attacked the villagers separately. The villagers fled in all directions. After the two hunters died in the battle, the three thunder wolf dragons continued to surround and kill the villagers, and few managed to escape.
After the attack, the golden guy appeared and led the three thunder wolf dragons away. This scene was seen by the girl hiding in the urn, and this is why the saying "first come, later" came into being. "
“It should be pretty much the same.”
Julius took a deep breath and added: "Leader monsters such as the Blue Speed Dragon King also let their subordinates hunt for them, and then reappeared afterwards to enjoy the harvest.
Whether it was out of caution or disdain, it was not too surprising that the leader of the Thunder Wolf Dragon group did not directly participate in the massacre of the village. "
Gordon smiled bitterly and said: "I hope it is because of the 'strong man's self-esteem' or something like that. If it is because of caution, the difficulty of dealing with that guy will go up a few steps."
by
Two crows sounded, and Julius immediately became alert, "It's Nadia's alarm, there's something going on."
Hayata ran over quickly, but made no sound.
She came to the two of them and reported: "Senior Nadia discovered that a Thunder Wolf appeared about three hundred meters to the west and was heading here."
“Confirm one end?”
“Only one has been found for the time being.”
There are only two options at this time, fight or retreat.
Gordon looked at Julius, and the two made the same judgment.
“Hidden?”
"Um."
Julius nodded, "You two find a place to hide first."
After saying that, he quickly ran away alone.
Gordon and Hayata found the ruins of a collapsed house to hide.
They were not worried about being discovered. There were human corpses everywhere, and there was sulfur to cover up the smell. It would not be easy for the Thunder Wolf Dragon to find out through its nose that there were two living people hiding here.
Julius quickly ran to the place where the Marutori cart was parked outside the ruins of the village.
He wants to further reduce the probability of Thunder Wolf Dragon discovering them.
The two swords were unsheathed, and in the blink of an eye they cut off the reins of the two cart-pulling birds, and then lightly slashed each of them with the sword.
The frightened Marutori screamed "quack" and flew into the woods.
Julius breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and quickly sneaked back into the ruins to hide.
The cries of these two Maru Birds and the smell of blood should be enough to attract the attention of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.
的lves in the evening.
Maru—bird—! (I vomited for you)
