Chapter 16: Animals That Think with Their Lower Body
Lin Tian now has a bit of a professional military feel, doing things with lightning speed and not dragging on at all. After sending off President Jones, he immediately set off on horseback, guided by the strategic map, rushing all the way until he arrived at the border village in the east of Xianlin County by dusk. The speed was absolutely very fast, but this guy was still not satisfied, always thinking about getting a higher-level mount in the future.
These orcs are just like the first batch we encountered, similar to the pure-blooded orcs in World of Warcraft, and they're definitely well-trained regular army scouts, elite ones! They only scout from a distance, never getting close, but their main camp is nowhere to be found.
However, this is not difficult for a certain house. Relying on radar maps and eagle-eye techniques that are far beyond the opponent's field of vision, even Lin Tian, who has never learned tracking skills, can easily hang on to his opponent from afar.
As night fell, the beast scouts began to return one after another to report on their reconnaissance. Lin Tian chose the last beast scout and followed him from a distance.
Lin Tian was a bit disheveled, lying in a messy heap of grass. This was a small hill on the leeward side, so the smell wouldn't spread too far. The beastmen's keen sense of smell was one of their basic survival skills. Lin Tian watched intently, his line of sight fixed directly on his target. The beastman settlement had around 100 people, with a standard configuration of ten large tents and simple wooden fences surrounding them. These wooden defenses were weak and could be easily moved or broken, providing little security and only serving to hinder cavalry charges. Lin Tian patiently observed for over an hour, waiting until he was certain he understood the enemy's strengths and weaknesses before sneaking down from the hill and running about 2 kilometers away to find a secluded spot to set up camp. He pitched his tent in a low-lying area and prepared to sleep, not forgetting to summon eight flower spirits to hide in various trees or bushes... Lin Tian did not plan to launch a surprise attack on the beastmen that night; he was waiting for a better opportunity.
As if it were a biological clock, the system alert sound that rings at 6:00 every morning woke up someone's residence. According to the plan of action that had been rehearsed many times in his mind before falling asleep yesterday.
Day 2 of Week 2.
"Constructing Human Tribe 4th Tier Griffin Tower - 5000! Recruiting 20 Griffins - 4000!" Remaining 79600 gold.
Plans can't keep up with changes, and unexpected twists always seem to occur.
Lin Tian suddenly discovered that the 4th-tier buildings of the Elf tribe had two types, "Flying Horse Statue" and "Druid Totem". Lin Tian quickly analyzed from his past gaming experience that the "Flying Horse Statue" was used to recruit flying troops, Flying Horse Knights, while the "Druid Totem" was definitely used to recruit Druids, the magic archers from Heroes of Might and Magic 5. The human tribe already had a flying troop, the Griffin, which should have overlapping functions with the Flying Horse Knights. At this point, the magic archer Druid would be more useful. Lin Tian remembered that when he played Heroes of Might and Magic 5, the Druid was one of his favorite troops, which could use magic missiles to attack normally and summon powerful lightning spells when necessary. After upgrading, they could also use area magic spells like Earth Spike, and even had a very strategically valuable skill called Magic Spring, which could provide additional magic power to heroes. Among the 4th-tier troops of the same level, it was absolutely the most useful troop!
It's a matter of seconds now, and for once, So-and-so has abandoned his tradition of thinking with his lower body...
"Constructing a 4th-tier Griffin Statue - 5000! Recruiting 20 Pegasus Knights - 4000!" Remaining 70600 gold.
Damn it! Who says he doesn't think with his lower body? I can count out more than a dozen reasons to summon Druid magic archers, but this guy chooses these chicks...
The flying horse knights recruited, if the same as the elf archer's close combat version, are also multi-hollowed and inlaid with gold edges on their bright silver armor, which is very tempting. The same ultra-short battle skirt, when sitting on a horse to fight, reveals more sexy legs. Because they are knights, they wear a beautiful silver helmet, with exquisite white wings on both sides of the helmet, and their weapons are no longer bows, but instead a snow-white silver single-handed sword, similar to the ancient swords of the East, with a straight and sharp blade, double-edged for slashing, and a sharp tip for high-speed thrusting. Most importantly, they have pure white flying horses as mounts, which are like the creator, specially inserting huge pure white wings on the horse's ribs. This is a powerful flying cavalry, moving swiftly and coming and going like the wind.
Damn it! Didn't you say we need to fight for every second? When will this saliva of yours finally stop flowing?!
Compared to the sexy and domineering appearance of the flying horse knight, the Griffin of the 4th stage of the human tribe is truly majestic and overbearing. Continuing the style of Heroes V, it has an eagle head, lion body, sharp mouth and claws, a huge physique, and an aura that exudes majesty. Looking at its powerful wings and broad, flat back, a certain otaku can't help but have some wild thoughts. The countless cross-dressers in the starting point tell us that as long as it's a bird, you can ride it, and having wings doesn't necessarily mean it's an angel, it could also be a birdman. Can't I just create my own birdman? So he summons a 3rd stage swordsman, strictly ordering the Griffin not to move, trying to get the swordsman to ride the Griffin and fly into the sky, so that at least they can synthesize a Griffin knight, and later find an opportunity to equip it with spears, lances, incendiary bombs, atomic bombs, and other things, and randomly throw them around... The dead otaku is again seriously indulging in fantasies. However, his fanciful ideas are destined to be crushed by the strict system.
Warning: Due to system restrictions, Griffin refuses to mount other troops! If forced to ride, the consequences of violating operations are that they will all be wiped out!
Unlike the green system-friendly prompts, this time the red warning made Lin Tian have no choice but to succumb to the system's power, and the Birdman Synthesis Plan was aborted.
Cut it, don't let that guy get away with it!
"Dead house, how did you suddenly remember this again? These lions that look very ferocious at first glance must be carnivores, right? Then feeding them would require a large amount of meat food. Looking at their nearly 4-meter-long bodies, they must have a huge appetite. If we continue like this, won't we go bankrupt from being eaten away by them? Lin Tian, who was worried sick, quickly entered the system and carefully searched every corner, but couldn't find any information related to grain supply. Recalling his previous experiences, it seemed that he had never paid attention to it before, but these divine warriors seemed to really not need food supplies. Did the system completely cut off the troublesome logistics supply system?"
With such doubts in mind, a certain mansion invited a flying horse knight. The beautiful female warrior dismounted her horse and respectfully gave Lin Tian a standard knight's salute.
"Do your divine warriors need to eat? I mean, do I need to provide extra food for them? Do their mounts require corresponding pastures?"
I think this guy is just talking nonsense, wanting to flirt with the girl, why not add her on QQ instead!
"The heroic space is filled with divine power, our god-given warriors can get energy directly from the divine power in the space when they are injured or hungry, so there is no need for extra food supply, and our mounts are the same!" The female warrior told her master seriously.
It seems that the rear guard is no longer a concern, with a huge weight lifted off one's mind. Suddenly remembering one's own plan, it's already wasted nearly half an hour. Quickly gathering all the soldiers, they sprint towards the beastman camp that was scouted out last night.
Why don't you ride a horse?
Kid, we're going for a sneak attack, not a frontal assault!
