Next, with reference to the distribution of half-orc forces and the topography on the sand table.
Leo Ray used a command stick to demonstrate, while explaining his plan in detail to all the subordinates present.
In this process, based on the practical combat experience gained by Bianca White and the werewolf elders over the years, they engaged in a discussion and repeated deductions, making several minor adjustments.
At this point, the entire battle plan was thoroughly agreed upon.
During this process, their party and the werewolves also enjoyed a meal of the werewolf tribe’s specially made large skewers of roasted meat and smoked meat, which were very delicious.
“In short, aside from the first two steps I mentioned earlier, the final step is to lure the remaining half-orc army to this narrow point, and then ambush them to annihilate them.”
Saying this, Leo Ray pointed his command stick at the narrow chokepoint on the bottom right corner of the sand table, and turned back to the werewolves with a faint smile, “As for the hidden ambush troops here, I will deploy the elite forces from my territory. You don’t need to worry.”
“As expected of the Lord, with this plan, we can indeed eradicate these hateful half-orcs at the lowest cost!”
On the other side, the werewolf grand elder Lucas Harper’s old face couldn’t help but reveal a suppressed excitement, clapping and exclaiming continuously.
At the same time, Bianca White and the other two elders also looked ecstatic, their white tails wagging back and forth restlessly.
“Alright, to ensure nothing goes wrong, let’s conduct another on-site inspection before we officially execute the plan tonight.”
After a brief pause, Leo Ray lifted his command stick again and continued assigning tasks.
Undoubtedly, from the map, their party needed to scout a total of four areas.
The first two were the main camps of the two half-orc tribe alliances and their respective affiliated tribes.
Since both areas had two half-orc tier 4 powerhouses stationed, in order to avoid detection by the enemy.
The reconnaissance missions were given to Taylor and the sister duo, Serena and Stella.
As a tier 5 powerhouse, Taylor needed no introduction.
South Star South Moon, who were good at hiding their aura, along with the concealment effect of their invisibility cloaks, were hard to detect even by ordinary tier 5 powerhouses, making them very reliable.
“Taylor, Serena and Stella, I’ll assign these two areas to you.”
Handing over the invisibility cloaks that had been collected earlier to the three of them, Leo Ray continued, “Report to me promptly if there’s any situation.”
“As you command, my Lord!”
On the other side, the three subordinates respectfully put on the cloaks and then disappeared on the spot.
“As for the remaining two areas, which are the half-orc outposts on both sides of the river, I’ll personally lead a team to investigate.”
After a brief pause, Leo Ray pointed his command stick at the central area of the sand table once more.
After saying this, he seemed to think of something and pursed his lips slightly.
“By the way, I’m only at tier 2 nine-star level now, and Taylor is off to scout the half-orc’s main camp. This mobility issue is a major problem.”
At this thought, Leo Ray put down his command stick and frowned.
On the other side, Bianca White, who had followed Leo Ray back with him, seemed to have noticed something due to her acute sensitivity.
She hesitated for a moment before a determined look appeared on her delicate face.
Then, the resolved Bianca White bolstered her spirits, reddened her face, and stepped forward to whisper a bow to Leo Ray, “My Lord, as for your concern, I might be able to help…”
Half an hour later, at a certain spot in Wind Sigh Hillock.Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
On the uneven ground, seven silhouettes were moving at high speed.
Leading the way were the Grand Elder Lucas Harper, who had transformed into a white giant wolf and was at Tier 3, 5-stars, and the middle-aged werewolf powerhouse Owen Montgomery, who was at Tier 3, Two-Star.
On the left and right flanks of the team were the short-haired Abigail and the braided Amelia.
At the rear were Gideon Black and Scarlett, flying in midair.
As for the core position in the middle of the team, it was naturally occupied by their leader, Leo Ray.
Of course, he wasn’t running on the ground either, but instead riding on a huge white wolf.
This white giant wolf was none other than Bianca White, the young leader of the werewolf tribe, who was at Tier 3, Two-Star.
“Well, I didn’t expect my first mount to come so suddenly.”
As they moved at lightning speed, Leo Ray, who was clinging to the back of the giant wolf, was feeling the cold gale hitting his face while tightly holding onto the specially made reins, silently thinking to himself.
Half an hour ago, when a blushing Bianca White had proposed this idea, he was initially taken aback. However, after careful consideration, he realized that it was indeed the best solution.
Since the horses that had been unloaded from Kombu’s carriage were being kept in the territory, Leo Ray, who had been practicing horse riding in his spare time, quickly mastered the art of riding a wolf as his control over his
body improved with his increasing power.
After all, the white giant wolves transformed by the werewolf tribe were enormous and almost no different from ordinary horses, undoubtedly equivalent to a special kind of demon beast.
Their fluffy and broad backs were quite comfortable, completely fulfilling the conditions for riding, which was a far cry from ordinary wolves.
As they galloped, looking at the desolate scenery that was quickly retreating around him, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile at the uniqueness of riding a giant wolf.
Just as Leo Ray thought about this, Grand Elder Lucas Harper’s hoarse voice came through the mind talk: “My Lord, we are not far from the Brown Demon tribe’s riverside outpost.”
“Very well, start to slow down and we’ll approach it slowly.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray composed himself and responded.
Thus, 5 minutes later, having suppressed their auras as much as possible, the team arrived at a hidden spot by a low, earthen slope.
At a glance, they could clearly see the small fortress made of a mix of rocks and wood, situated on a slightly higher earthen slope in front of them.
This small fortress seemed to be in a state of disrepair, with the wooden walls showing signs of decay in many places, but still, it was heavily guarded.
“My Lord, there’s the Brown Demon Tribe’s outpost,” said Lucas Harper, who had returned to his human form, as he crouched low and whispered an introduction to Leo Ray. “There are about five middle teams of Half-Orcs stationed here permanently, and three Tier 3 Powerhouses, and the same scale at the other Dark Badger outpost.”
“Understood.”
With narrowed eyes, Leo Ray observed the small fortress for a while, then asked, “How much do we know about the patrol routes, guard shift times, and alarm measures for the Half-Orc soldiers here?”
“Among the outposts on both sides of the river, this and the other one have always been our key monitoring targets,” Lucas Harper replied confidently. “My Lord, we have all of them under control.”
“Very good, let’s check out the other outpost”, Leo Ray nodded slightly, a cold curve emerging at the corner of his mouth: “Tonight, it is destined to be a night of bloodshed..”
