Lord Tiger ordered the good people to bury the dead and treat the wounded. Then he led a group of people back to the meeting hall, waiting for Mr. Duo to arrive to discuss countermeasures.
He couldn't help but be impatient. The other party was so strong that he couldn't hold himself tight. Although he has not yet fully contacted them, he can also see that this group of people is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and they are definitely not comparable to the original weak teams in Cenqi Castle.
People dare to shout and kill when they disagree. If they are not very confident in their own strength, and if they are not a team accustomed to fighting, who would dare to do this?
This is still on someone else's territory, in an unfamiliar environment, so you dare to take action so decisively.
The opponent's combat effectiveness will definitely not be inferior to his Tiger Army.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
Even if the opponent is injured, can one really withstand such a high-intensity confrontation and a large number of sacrifices?
Master Hu was in a state of confusion and thought of several countermeasures, but none of them could be considered perfect.
When he was anxious, Lao Ba returned quickly with a bad expression.
"Master Hu, when he arrived at Duoye's side, he was blocked by Aqian. He said that Duoye was sick and had just taken medicine. He needed to rest for a few hours. It is not convenient to see guests for the time being. I can tell you what, then Aqian He just refused to listen and laughed at me."
Lao Ba's tone was full of grievance.
"This bitch, you didn't tell him the specific situation. Is there an invasion from a foreign enemy?"
"I told you, make it clear." Old Ba felt very wronged.
"Then he's still blocking you? Is he so ignorant?"
Lao Ba said angrily: "Not only is he ignorant of the general situation, this bastard is simply a troublemaker. He said that the invasion of foreign enemies has nothing to do with them. No matter who becomes the master of this castle, they must treat the people of the Baoshu tribe with respect." As a distinguished guest.”
The whole audience was shocked when they heard this.
These words of tiger and wolf really sound like they deserve a beating.
But the sad thing is that although these words are crude, the truth is not crude at all. If you think about it carefully, this is really what happened.
Previously, when Cen Qi was in charge, the Baoshu clan discussed cooperation, and at least the talks were very pleasant. The two parties completely reached a consensus on cooperation, and everything went very smoothly.
As Duo Ye's partner, Hu Ye should have been closer. After taking over the foundation, he should have promoted the cooperation more quickly and happily. But Mr. Hu's operations in the past few days have not shown that kind of enthusiasm. Although it was not unpleasant, it was far from pleasant.
At least compared to the head of Cen Qi, the current situation definitely makes Duo Ye very unhappy. how? Those previous promises have only been made for a few days, but they are not going to be fulfilled? Just leave us alone, aren't you going to give a specific explanation?
After so many days, it is completely normal for people to be unhappy. If it had been before, this might have just been A Qian's one-sided statement and his complaint. But after so many days, these words may not be just a complaint from A Qian, but a heartfelt sarcasm on behalf of Master Duo.
In addition, A Qian is a person who always speaks outright and shows no mercy. Even when facing Master Hu, he didn't mince words and just said what he wanted to say.
It has to be said that Ah Qian looked like he was mocking Lao Ba, but in fact he was mocking Master Hu, slapping Master Hu in the face, and scolding him for crossing the river and destroying the bridge, saying that he did not keep his words. He was even more disdainful of Master Hu occupying the castle, so he said that it would be the same if he changed the owner. This is clearly the anger coming from Master Duo.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed extremely awkward.
If it were someone else, that would be fine. Duoye is a descendant of the Baoshu tribe. If they complain like this, do these people dare to confront the Baoshu tribe? Offending the Baoshu Clan is no joke.
"Master Hu, you have to tie the bell before you can untie it. Mr. Duo has some ideas and is ill at heart." Old Ba boldly reminded Mr. Hu.
In fact, Lao Ba and Lie Chi have also thought about this matter in private, and both feel that Master Hu's methods are too unkind and unjust, and they are also too radical.
Now that the situation is like this, even Duo Ye, a close friend, no longer supports them, and the situation is really ugly.
Mr. Hu took a deep breath. He knew that if he expected these subordinates, he would definitely not be able to hire Mr. Duo.
Lao Ba is right, the person who unties the bell must also tie the bell. Looking back on the changes in my mood in the past few days, in the final analysis, it was still too exaggerated.
After seizing such a huge foundation, I felt that I owned the world, and my ambitions and appetites became bigger, so much so that I became somewhat unwilling to give away the benefits promised to Master Duo.
Do you regret it?
If what happened in front of him had not happened, Mr. Hu would definitely feel at ease and not regret it at all.
But now that things have come to a head, Mr. Duo needs to take action. If he says he doesn't regret it, that would be a lie.
This hand is still played too hastily and snobbishly.
However, if Master Hu rushes there in person now, everyone has said that he should rest for a while after taking the medicine, so if he rushes over there rashly, he will probably hit a wall.
It would be better to wait for a while until both parties have a staircase, and then go over and visit in person.
But Mr. Hu hates Ah Qian even more.
The same thing happened to Lao Ba, who said bitterly: "Master Hu, this Aqian really succeeds more than fails. If such a person stays with Master Duo, he will be a troublemaker. From what I see about Master Duo's mentality, he is probably also attracted by him. It was arousing. This guy didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he was always against us. When we were in the medicine garden, he always had a bad eye with me. Later, he targeted us everywhere and even interceded with those three damn mushroom people. If he hadn't interceded on behalf of the three mushroom men and Master Dao hadn't hesitated for half a minute, how could the three mushroom men have escaped?"
Lao Ba was always angry because he took the blame for not chasing the three mushroom men.
At this time, he also took advantage of the situation and put the responsibility for not catching the three mushroom men on A Qian.
Mr. Hu frowned and said, "Based on time, could those three mushroom men be the ones they pointed the way to this group of people?"
Old Ba naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire: "I think it's 100% correct. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Judging from the time, it is a perfect match. I told you that those three mushroom men were not good people. If they escaped, they would definitely be punished. Let’s look for trouble.”
After being rejected by Mr. Duo, the awkward atmosphere at the scene was significantly relieved because of the condemnation of the three mushroom men.
Some people also took the initiative to join the ranks of condemning the three mushroom men. He kept saying that he should have been more decisive at the beginning and executed the three mushroom men directly without giving them a chance to escape.
Some people say that the three mushroom men were hiding too deeply. In fact, they had evil intentions for a long time.
Although this kind of hindsight sounds stupid, I can't help but that Mr. Hu likes to hear it.
The three mushroom men they had denounced were gathering again in a dense forest on the outskirts.
Master Hu's sentinels did have encounters with the people in the canyon, and there were some frictions, but no lives were lost at first.
Until Jiang Yue and the other three pretended to be castle spies and joined in, they actually killed several of the opponent's men with ruthless hands. Then he pretended to be a soldier from the opposite side and struck hard at Master Hu's sentry.
Since then, the anger between the two sides has continued to escalate in conflicts, and it has evolved into the current situation. It can be said that Jiang Yue and the others are the "culprits".
"Second brother, if these two groups of people bite me, then Mr. Tiger will have to shed his skin this time even if he doesn't die, right?"
"What I want is more than just letting him shed his skin." Jiang Yue sneered.
Just as he was talking, Jiang Qiao suddenly said: "Their main force has moved this way. It seems that they have set their sights on the castle."
This is exactly the purpose of Jiang Yue and others to alert the enemy. This is the effect you want.
"Visually there are five to six hundred combatants. Compared with Master Hu's side, the number is still a little lower. However, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is not comparable to that of Cen Qi's men. I am a little strange, where did this group of people come from? If they are escaping Those who suffered from the ground smoke disaster, why are their team all made up of combatants and not old, weak, women and children?"
For a hero like Mr. Hu, if there is a large-scale migration, it is inevitable that there will be a group of old, weak, women and children in the team. Even a ruthless man like Master Hu would never give up on the women, children, old and weak in the team.
No matter who it is, once they give up women, children, the elderly and the weak, it means that the morale of the entire team will be shattered.
But this team is actually all combatants, and everyone is an elite. Even if there were a group of wounded people stranded in their deep valley camp, they were not old, weak, sick or disabled.
Could it be that they arranged for the old, weak, women and children to take shelter elsewhere?
That evening, this group of people had advanced to the back of the foothills on the north side of the castle. The team of several hundred people was hidden in the mountains and forests. They were so secretive that they seemed to be integrated into the mountains and forests. If Jiang Yue hadn't known about it a long time ago, there wouldn't be any clues at first glance.
This made Jiang Yue a little more curious about the abilities of this group of people.
The straight-line distance from this place to the castle will never exceed thirty miles. As long as you climb over this mountain, you can go down to the flat ground and impact the castle.
What surprised Jiang Yue was that the sentinels on Master Hu's side actually retreated on their own initiative and did not come close to conduct reconnaissance at all. I don't know if it's because he's afraid of this group of people, or if Lord Tiger has other strategies to defend himself against the enemy.
Out of curiosity about this group of people, Jiang Yue decided to investigate closely. With the dual blessing of ground magic and stealth skills, it is not difficult for Jiang Yue to conduct close-range detective work.
Based on the combat effectiveness and strength of this group of people, they should be able to judge that this castle must be a tough nut to crack.
But after they discovered the castle, they almost didn't hesitate at all and advanced very fast. In almost one day, they reached the foothills on the north side of the castle. Looking at this posture, I am afraid that there may be an attack on the castle early tomorrow morning or even in the middle of the night.
Normally, to attack a fortress, you must at least conduct reconnaissance in all directions. You must carefully understand the castle's structure, personnel composition, surrounding terrain, including water sources, etc.
But this group of people are so eager that they don't seem to have time to do this. Judging from their marching speed and momentum, they clearly wanted a quick victory.
Of course, their previous encirclement and annihilation battle against Tiger Lord's sentinel seemed to have given them a certain understanding of the power of the castle and great confidence in their own strength?
But why are they so eager?
Could it be that this group of people's desire for supplies has reached such an exaggerated level? Although this group of people is short of supplies, it doesn't look like they will run out of food soon.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Yue decided to go closer for reconnaissance. With the dual blessing of ground magic and stealth skills, it is not difficult for Jiang Yue to conduct close-range detective work.
He was also a very brave man, and when he got closer, he discovered that the concealment skills of this group of people were indeed very good. Several hundred people were hiding in the mountains and forests, and they did not even notice the buzzing of insects around them. It was as if they were born to belong to the forest and were part of it.
However, Jiang Yue relied on his skills. Although it took some trouble, he quickly locked in the core department of this team.
Several team leaders sat around and were urgently discussing countermeasures.
Judging from their energetic appearance, although there was a hint of embarrassment on their faces, the light shining in their eyes showed that they were very excited at the moment.
This kind of excitement is not unfamiliar, the kind of excitement that is about to do something big.
In an open area on the ground, they were playing with small stones back and forth, apparently deducing the details of the castle's attack and defense.
It seems that they are not unprepared, nor are they sending troops blindly.
When the troops actually come to the city, they have to do their homework.
One of them said: "Master Ka, I still feel that we should not attack by force. This castle is too perfectly built and the defense system is too tight. Even if the guards inside are mediocre people, with this geographical advantage, it is enough to create a huge threat. We It’s not that the warriors can’t chew off this hard bone, but after chewing it off, how many warriors will be left? Even if we take this castle, how many people will we have left, and will we be able to hold on to this castle?”
The man called Ka Ye is a middle-aged man with three eyes. He has a strange emerald-like eye on his forehead, slightly smaller than his two normal pupils, but extremely conspicuous.
"Do we still have a way out? The Arrow Wolf Tribe is chasing us. If we hadn't found the valley and repaired it for two days, temporarily getting rid of the Arrow Wolf Tribe's pursuit, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a few of us left now, and the team would have been destroyed. We are broken up. The Arrow Wolf Tribe will not be able to find us forever. The Women and Children Camp abandoned itself to allow us men to escape and created a way for us to survive. Now, are we still afraid of giving it a try?" Ka Ye said with a sad tone. , but extremely firm.
Arrowwolf tribe?
Jiang Yue vaguely understood something.
This group of people was hunted by the Arrow Wolf tribe and hid all the way in the valley. Moreover, there were originally old, weak, women and children, but in order to hold back the Arrow Wolf tribe, the women and children camp took the initiative to sacrifice themselves and saved their elite group.
After being hunted all the way to this point, those who can survive must be elites.
"Master Ka is right. Now that we've reached this point, what else can't we gamble on?"
"Afraid of death? Death at the hands of the Arrow Wolf Tribe is death, but it will only be worse."
"This castle is our only escape route now. If we can capture the castle, we will have a way to survive. Otherwise, we will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Arrow Wolf tribe in the end."
"Listen to Mr. Ka. We will attack at night tonight and try to capture the castle in one fell swoop."
The person who raised the objection before did not shut up because of everyone's rebuttal, but said: "Everyone, if we want to enter the castle, we don't necessarily have to fight bloody battles. There are other ways to choose from."
