Chapter 31: Wolf Tribe

  The wolf tribe, a race feared throughout the continent.

  Copper head iron tail tofu waist, is generally used to describe ordinary magic wolf, saying that they are strong in both front and back, but the fatal weakness lies in their weak middle section, which often becomes the enemy's key strike target.

  This sentence also applies to werewolves. Adult werewolves have strong and powerful lower limbs, explosive power is very strong, good at jumping; the arm is flexible and powerful, is a famous knife guest among the hundred tribes. However, their slender waist cannot provide them with great physical strength, and endurance is especially insufficient.

  Werewolf warriors are covered in hard wolf skin all over their bodies, and they can naturally withstand ordinary blade slashes, so they almost don't need to equip defensive gear intentionally. However, the waist and abdomen area is not protected by this layer of hard skin, and it's even possible to directly stab into it with a blunt knife from here. It's as if a heavily armored infantryman wore full-body heavy armor but comically exposed his big belly. Therefore, if only considering individual strength, among the beastmen tribes, the werewolf's individual strength is undoubtedly in the middle to lower ranks.

  So, Wolf Tribe, what makes you feared throughout the entire continent?

  They have the best wolf cavalry on the mainland.

  A lone wolf knight, with absolute strength at the peak of 3rd level, although still not breaking through to 4th level, can still look down on all beasts.

  What's frightening is their numbers, their discipline, their savagery, their vindictiveness...

  Almost all the werewolves are soldiers, as long as they are young and strong, can tame the saddle wolf, and become a member of the glorious Wolf Rider; relying on their huge numerical advantage, countless powerful warriors were overwhelmed by their vast waves of attacks.

  The werewolf hierarchy is strict, with a high level of discipline from birth, even to the point of being servile, with obeying superior orders as their primary duty, born to be professional soldiers. But if you think they are very gentle and peaceful, then you are greatly mistaken. On the flip side of their servility towards superiors, is their cruelty towards subordinates or other weaklings. Unprovoked corporal punishment of subordinates is a common occurrence in the army, while worshipping the strong, they believe that being weak is a capital offense, the weak have no right to property and protection, everything the weak own belongs to the strong, the weak should all die...

  This is a race of robbers full of cruel savagery, and they are born to be vengeful. Once they feel that their dignity has been offended, it will be a fight to the death. Even if the opponent is stronger than them, they will rely on the speed of light cavalry to follow far away and call for reinforcements, like wolves hunting in groups, cooperating with each other, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

  What the other mainland races fear is not just the above. The most terrifying thing is that this is a perverted race with an extremely strong desire to possess. In the narrow and long wolf-like eyes, there is a bloody violence, lustful abuse of wild ambition.

  Once your civilians are on their marching route, you can declare that all these people have died. This group of beasts will not leave any survivors, even the elderly and children will be brutally slaughtered, if they are women, the inevitable outcome is to be gang-raped and then slaughtered, or even eaten.

  According to the internal statistics of the beastmen, the number of wolfmen who brutally slaughter civilians accounts for more than 70% of the entire tribe, while the number of those who torture and kill accounts for more than 80%. (Many beastmen are fond of killing, but they will not torture; being beheaded by a single sword is an absolutely normal way to die. However, when encountering wolfmen, you don't even have the right to be killed by a single sword.) Moreover, under the pretext of tradition, they repeatedly refuse to change... The respectable warriors are also terrifying butchers!

  This is a team that makes Beastmen high-ranking and loved and hated, and it is also the fundamental reason why Wolf Tribe can become a mid-level noble in the Hundred Tribes.

  Lin Tian took advantage of his quick movements to sneak out and attempt another ambush, but as soon as he approached the werewolves' camp at night, he knew he had no chance. This was a group with extremely high vigilance, even when resting at night, the camp was brightly lit, and patrol teams were densely packed.

  He didn't have the slightest desire to sneak attack, so he directly chose to teleport back to town. He couldn't sleep all night and after wrestling with his bed sheets for half a day, he actually came up with a pretty good idea.

  Day 2 of Week 4.

  "Upgrade Human Tier 3 Barracks to Crusader's Camp -3000!"

  "Upgrade the 3rd-tier building of the Elf tribe to Forest Archery Range, -3000! Remaining 73,500 gold."

  3rd stage swordsman, upgraded to Crusader. Larger twin-handed sword shines with cold light, full-body heavy armor, chest painted with bright red cross, head wearing a fully enclosed helmet, standard heavy infantry. Retains its original high attack power while defense has made significant progress. Added trait: Dual Wield!

  Twin Blades: An experienced warrior can wield their weapons more skillfully, able to instantly strike twice in quick succession during combat, with the target unable to switch.

  Although it looks like nothing, the attack effect is actually doubled without discount, which allows them to compete with 4th-order soldiers (of course, only in terms of attack power).

  3rd-tier Elf Archer, upgraded to Forest Ranger. The Elf Bow is replaced with the Elf Strongbow, still slender and agile, defense estimated to be not much improved, but also gained an additional trait.

  Double Shot: Forest Archer, the forest's darling, focuses on archery. Their shooting speed is faster and can quickly shoot out consecutive double arrows, making it impossible for the target to switch.

  Good! Brother has 120 forest archers, and the arrow rain can be formed on a large scale. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to upgrade to 150 archers today, but defending the city can add 100 powerful crusaders, which is already a well-considered trade-off.

  Last night, Lin Tian made a very detailed analysis of today's battle.

  Since the plan to launch a surprise attack at night has failed, another approach must be thought of. Like last time, directly setting up an ambush outside the city is unlikely to succeed, after all, the enemy is a wolf cavalry, acting swiftly and with extremely high vigilance. Not to mention whether the enemy will detect the ambush beforehand, even if they don't and suffer from the ambush, at most it can only cause damage to their vanguard troops. This group of light cavalry has a high-speed characteristic on the plains, if they really want to cut off their own arm to escape, sending a small number of suicidal soldiers to intercept while the rest retreat directly, then it's absolutely impossible to stop them. Some people dare to bet with their own ass, this group of hierarchical enemies will definitely be able to abandon their suicidal troops, haven't you seen Japan's Kamikaze special attack units?

  Once the enemy breaks out of the encirclement, their speed will have room to maneuver, constantly harassing the troops. Whether these soldiers can return to the city smoothly is still an unknown number... The variable of ambush is too large, and the success rate is not high, so I give up.

  Then we can only fight a defensive battle! But how to defend? This is the key.

  If the troops are all pulled out to defend the city and prepare for a hard fight, who doesn't know that defending the city has an advantage? The enemy is all light cavalry, without attacking equipment. Looking at the defenders of the city, there aren't many, unless they're taking the wrong medicine, the wolf-like general won't order an attack on the city, right? If some general isn't stupid, he'll definitely choose to temporarily pull back his troops and first occupy other territories in the prefecture, thus forcing Lin Tian to come out of the city for a decisive battle. The consequences are predictable!

  Can't let the enemy choose to retreat, must lure the wolf riders to attack the city... This is what Lin Tian thought of last night. Hide the trump card troops and leave only scattered soldiers to lure the enemy commander into making a false appearance that they can take down the city. If possible, provoke the enemy even more! Wait until all the wolf riders abandon their own advantages and fall deeply into the siege, unable to extricate themselves, then summon one's own living strength in one fell swoop, heavily damaging or directly devouring this force.

  Show weakness to the enemy, lure the enemy to attack the city, wait for the opportunity to annihilate, and pursue the victory! This is the script that Lin Tian has carefully thought out for the wolf cavalry!
