The group quickly departed.

According to Leu, even for some sharp-nosed beastmen, their sense of smell wasn't infallible, as the scent left in one place would dissipate quickly.

Zhao E undoubtedly took advantage of this when retreating and combined with the deliberately left footprints.

He estimated they could fool the hyena people for a while.

After leaving, Zhao E and the others moved to Gio Sizwin's original tribe, which had long been bloodied by the Hyena people.

Looking at the large patches of dried blood on the ground, GSwin couldn't help but show some sadness.

After taking a deep breath and regaining some spirit, GISwin said to Joe E and the others, "The location of this camp is quite far from the original one.

And since the footprints and sense along the way have been dealt with theoretically, the hyena people shouldn't be able to find us so quickly.

However, just to be safe, it's better not to light a fire.

" Zhao he undoubtedly agreed with this.

Although the dark environment was not very friendly to humans without a fire.

Safety had to be considered.

In the middle of the night after such a commotion, everyone clearly had lost much of their sleepiness.

Calling over Lee Coup and Jizwin Zhao he casually found a tent to discuss the subsequent plans.

However, the atmosphere was subtly strange obviously because of Lee Coup's eyes which glowed green in the dark.

Well, they knew this wasn't something Le could control, but in the pitch dark, those two green eyes staring at them felt somewhat scary.

Lea seemed to realize this, too.

And for a moment, not knowing what to say, he directly cut to the chase.

"If there are only two to 300 hyena people, then our chances of winning are actually quite high.

" "This time, you brought 200 troops, right?" he asked calmly upon hearing this.

"Yes," Lika nodded.

The individual combat power of beastman soldiers is different from that of human soldiers.

200 werewolf warriors can basically match 500 human soldiers.

Not to mention that for this expedition, Laji had equipped them with decent sword and shield gear, making them even stronger.

This troop strength was indeed not weak.

But the problem was that the number of hyena people was greater than the werewolves on this expedition.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yi's calm voice rang out again.

We still have the advantage in weaponry and with the support of 50 crossbowmen.

If it comes down to a fight, our chances should still be quite good.

Hearing this, Leu subconsciously nodded, clearly thinking the same.

Without weapons and equipment, facing a number far exceeding theirs would be unwise.

But now they had the advantage.

However, the next moment, Zhao Yi<unk>s tone suddenly shifted.

But don't forget, your majesty's purpose for sending us on this expedition is to recruit the barbarians in a northern forest to expand our wania civilizations military strength.

Upon hearing this, Leica's expression changed slightly.

Undoubtedly, he already knew what Zhao was about to say, and what Joey said next was indeed consistent with his thoughts.

Zhao E continued, "Against that many hyena people relying on our advantage and weaponry, we can indeed win.

But the key point is that if we suffer heavy casualties before we can recruit the barbarians and expand our military strength, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?" Leo was completely unable to refute this as he was right.

Even with equipment, facing such a large group of hyena people, Liku couldn't say that they would definitely win easily and casualties were unavoidable.

So, what do you think we should do? Facing this question, Zhao Eth for a moment before slowly speaking.

Let's focus on maneuvering.

We'll split into two groups.

Your werewolf troops will be responsible for maneuvering with the hyena people, while I will take GISwin and the remaining people to recruit those barbarians.

At the same time, we should send a few messengers back to inform his majesty of the situation here so that he can send troops to assist us.

Then everything will be easier.

So the key is how to maneuver.

Liku pointed out directly, "The number of hyena people exceeds my werewolf troops, and maneuvering with them, if we are not careful, we might suffer even greater casualties than if we directly attacked.

" "This is indeed a problem.

" "Ha!" He nodded just as he was pondering what means to use to maneuver with the hyena people.

Gia Sizwin, who had been silent beside them, raised his hand.

How about setting traps? Chapter 398.

Setting traps hearing this proposal.

Zhao E frowned slightly.

This was indeed a method, but the problem was that setting a certain number of traps would require a lot of time.

Would the hyena people give us that much time? Don't worry, it won't take too long.

In the darkness, Zhao he couldn't see G Sizwin's expression, but he could sense the obvious confidence in his words.

There were actually many pits and traps nearby that were originally used for hunting beasts.

As long as we made some adjustments, we could set them up again in no time.

I see.

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes.

Unlike the civilization of the myriad worlds, the relatively primitive barbarian tribes largely relied on capturing wild animals to solve their food problems.

Therefore, the pits and traps were their first choice, and there must be quite a few of them.

However, I have another question.

If we want to use the traps to deal with the enemy, we must first be familiar with the terrain.

The terrain in the northern mountain forest is complex and the landscape is very similar.

It might be a bit difficult for us to remember the locations of a large number of pits and traps in a short time.

He wasn't trying to make things difficult for Jesus.

He was just stating the facts.

The truth was that when he first followed Jesus into the northern mountain forest, everything looked almost the same.

Basically, apart from big trees, there were stones and bushes, and there were hardly any distinctive landmarks to guide them.

How could they find their way? If there wasn't someone familiar with the terrain to lead them, their progress would probably slow down several times.

If they wanted to leave some markers near the traps, obvious markers would be discovered by the enemy.

But if the markers were too concealed during the battle, they might not have the extra energy to find those markers.

If they failed to notice them, wouldn't that risk injuring their own people? This issue also needed to be considered.

Zhao E undoubtedly thought a lot and was very thorough in his considerations.

While he asked these questions, he was also thinking of solutions in his mind.

However, G Sizwin, who was more familiar with the environment here, had a clear advantage in this regard.

If visual markers wouldn't work, what about using scent? Scent? Gia Siswin's idea raised Zhao Yei's eyebrows.

But the hyena people also had keen senses of smell.

Would they notice it, too? I don't think it would be that easy.

In fact, there are many plants and fruits in this forest, and the scents are numerous.

If the nose is sensitive enough, the sense should be quite chaotic, right? As he spoke, Jesus turned to look at Liku, seemingly wanting to confirm this guess.

Noticing Giz on his gaze, Leo noted.

That's right.

There are indeed many scents in this forest.

Then, General Leu, can you distinguish all these scents? Gizwin asked again.

Leu thought for a moment and then nodded again.

I can do it.

That's great.

As he spoke, Jesus quickly took out some fruits from his pocket.

These fruits were ones he had picked along the way when he was leading Zhao e and the others deep into the northern mountain forest.

It was a habit ingrained in him.

For people who often go hungry, they would definitely pick edible fruits to stash in their pockets.

This habit couldn't be changed overnight, but it unexpectedly came in handy at this moment.

When crushed, these fruits would emit a unique scent, and importantly, they generally only grew on the outskirts of the forest, not in the deeper areas.

At this point, anyone with sense would understand.

Using the scent of these fruits as a marker, as long as Leu remembered this scent, they could identify the approximate location of the traps.

The best part was that for the hyena people who were accustomed to smelling various chaotic scents, this added scent would blend in with others.

If no one told them in advance, who would notice it? Let alone in a situation where they were fleeing from the enemy.

It would be even more impossible to pay attention to such subtle changes.
