Chapter 166 Trap
At the middle of the night, after a while of trouble, everyone obviously lost much sleepiness. Richard simply found a few Deli subordinates and Xiao and discussed the subsequent plans.
However, looking at Richard's werewolf eyes with green light in the dark, the tension on Owl's face had never dissipated. It was dark and surrounded by green eyes. How could Owl, a human, not be afraid?
Although Owl also knew that this was not something Richard himself could control.
Richard seemed to have realized this, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he simply got to the point.
"There are really a lot of Hyena people. Although with our current strength, it is not difficult to defeat them. I am afraid that after the war, our werewolf warriors will also suffer huge losses."
Although Richard's side has an advantage in equipment, the number of Hyena people on the opposite side is more than twice theirs, so it's better to be cautious.
One of the werewolf said: "We still have the advantage of our weapons and equipment. If we are more cautious, the chances of victory should still be very high."
Richard nodded subconsciously after hearing this. Obviously, he thought so too.
But soon, the words of another werewolf made Richard dismiss the plan to confront the Hyena.
"Don't forget that the purpose of Your Majesty's order to go on the expedition this time is to recruit the barbarians in the mountains and forests of the northern part, and thus expand the troops of our Daxia." The werewolf who spoke was called Zhuoer, and he is the second only to Richard among this werewolf.
Hearing this, Richard's face changed slightly.
Indeed, relying on the advantages of weapons and equipment, they can win, but the key point is that they went on an expedition this time to recruit barbarians to expand their troops. But before that, they themselves lost a large amount of troops. Wouldn't that put the cart before the horse?
Ri checked and asked, "What do you think you should do?"
Zhuoer did not encounter the clan leader's consciousness at all, and continued to speak loudly: "I think we should focus on dealing with the throne. Our troops are divided into two groups, and some of them are responsible for dealing with the Hyena people, while the rest are responsible for taking the owl to recruit the barbarians. At the same time, a few more messengers will be sent back to send messages to your Majesty and inform your Majesty of the situation here, and ask your Majesty to send troops to help us. At that time, everything will be fine."
"So, the point is how to deal with it..." Richard said directly to the point.
"The number of Hyena people is far more than my werewolf troops. If you are not careful, the casualties may be greater than the direct attack."
“This is indeed a problem.”
Just as the werewolf were thinking about some means to deal with the Hyena man, the owl, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, raised his hand and said:
“How about setting up a trap?”
“Design a trap?”
Richard frowned slightly at the suggestion and said, "This is indeed a solution, but the problem is that it takes a lot of time to lay out a certain number of traps. Will the Hyena give us so much time?"
"Don't worry, it doesn't take much time."
“How to say it?”
Xiao explained: "There are actually many animals that were originally used to hunt wild animals near this forest.

The pit trap can be re-arranged if it is slightly trimmed and it doesn’t take much time to do it.”
"So that's it." A trace of understanding flashed in Richard's eyes.
"But I have another problem. If you want to use traps to deal with the enemy, you must first be familiar with the terrain. The terrain of the northern mountains and forests is complex, and the terrain and the landscape are very similar. It is probably a bit difficult for us to remember the location of a large number of pit traps in a short period of time."
This is not because he is making things difficult for Xiao, but because the fact is that when he first followed Xiao into the mountains and forests in the north, he almost saw the same thing along the way. He basically couldn't see anything more iconic, except for big trees, stones and bushes, so he could not see anything more iconic, which made them recognize their way.
If no one familiar with the terrain guided them, their propulsion speed would probably be several times slower.
"If you want to leave any marks near the trap, too obvious marks will be discovered by the other party. However, if we do it too hidden, we may not have the extra energy to find those marks during the battle. If we don't find them, we have to consider the issue of accidentally hurting our own people."
Richard undoubtedly thought a lot and thought very thoroughly. When he asked these questions, he was also thinking about solutions in his mind.
However, the Owl, who is more familiar with the environment here, undoubtedly has a more advantage than Richard when thinking about this issue.
"It's not OK to see the mark with your eyes, how about smelling it with your nose?"
"Smell?" Xiao's thought made his eyebrows slightly raised, "But the hyena people have a very sharp sense of smell. Will the other party notice it too?"
"I don't think it's that easy. In fact, there are many plants and fruits in the forest, which smell a lot. If the nose is smart enough, the smell you smell should be very messy, right?" As he spoke, Xiao turned his head and looked at Richard, as if he wanted to confirm this guess.
Seeing the owl's sight, Richard nodded and replied: "Yes, there is indeed a lot of smell in this forest."
"Then General Richard, can you distinguish these odors?" Xiao asked again.
Richard thought about this question for a moment, then nodded again.
“It can be done.”
"That's easy." As he spoke, Xiao quickly took out some fruit from his arms.
These fruits were picked on the road when he led the werewolves deep into the mountains and forests of the northern land. There was no way. This was an instinctive habit. For those who often couldn't eat enough, they would definitely pick the fruits they could eat and put them in their pockets when they saw them.
This habit can't be changed for a while, but it unexpectedly comes in handy at this time.
"After this fruit is crushed, it will emit a relatively unique smell. The most important thing is that this fruit is usually only available on the periphery of the forest, but not inside."
Speaking of this, as long as you are not a fool, you should understand. Use the smell of this fruit as a mark, and as long as Richard and others remember this smell, they can distinguish the approximate location of the trap.
The most wonderful thing is that for people who are used to smelling various messy smells, under the cover of other smells, another smell has quietly become added.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If no one told them in advance, who could notice such things, let alone a situation of pursuing the enemy, it would be even more impossible to have the extra energy to pay attention to this subtle change.
"Yes, this plan works."
Richard nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with the plan proposed by Xiao. At the same time, he thought about it for a while and spoke again.
"Early tomorrow morning, let the soldiers remember this smell first, and then divide a few waves to lead the hyena people searching for our trails all over the mountains to help us get the time to arrange the traps. This task will be handed over to Zhuoer, is it okay?"
"No problem." Zoer nodded.
"Okay, there is still some time before dawn. Let's take a nap and take a break, so you can keep your energy in order to implement your plan tomorrow."
After saying that, Richard leaned directly into the tent and started to take a nap. After the discussion just now, he didn't know if the tense nerves were relaxed, so he felt a little sleepy again.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, when it was still dawn, Richard and others woke up one after another and began to arrange the contents discussed yesterday.
The fruit that Xiao took out before looked round and black. According to Xiao, the fruit was sour and astringent. If it weren't for the fact that there was no food, no one would have been willing to eat it.
After mashing the fruit into a puree, Richard approached and smelled it, which was indeed a recognizable smell.
While having breakfast, the fruit mud was passed on among the werewolf warriors, so that all the werewolf warriors could remember the smell, and the two groups of people officially separated.
Zoer took one of the werewolfs to attract the attention of the hyena people, while Richard followed the owl to repair the pits and traps. For a moment, the originally dead forest became much more lively.
At the same time, on the other end, in the northern forest, the creepy howlings of the hyenas almost resounded throughout the forest!
Feeling the pressure of approaching behind him, the werewolf warriors responsible for restraining the hyena people acted according to the plan, fought and retreated, and dealing with the group of hyena people, but they did not fight hard at all.
His eyes glanced at the hyena people scattered left and right, and surrounded him,
Zhuoer sniffed and immediately sneered in his heart. Those two places were not very safe.
Just as it was thinking this way, the people of the hyena who were trying to surround the two sides obviously stepped on the trap arranged there. After stepping on the air, the heavy body suddenly fell into the pit trap.
Then, waves of shrill screams rang out, and the bottom of the pit trap was covered with sharpened wooden stakes. According to the weight of the hyena people, after falling down, you can imagine the outcome.
Zhuoer's own mood was also subtle. Who would have thought that before it could attract the hyena people who liked to surround and kill, they could not wait to step on the trap?
No matter what, its handling is going well. Although the trap is used a lot, these hyena people will definitely be careful, but they can still gain several days.
And what level can be achieved in these few days depends on Richard and Owl's efficiency.
