After more than two months, Tang Wen went to work again and appeared in the general meeting hall.
On the table, four large pieces of cowhide were put together to form a large map.
"Three weeks ago, on the way back from Taohuayuan when transporting grain, we were attacked by a group of high-level exotic beasts, such as black clouded leopards, giant ant swarms, and ground beasts. According to the memories of the escaped commanders and guards, there were still several animals at the scene that they had never seen before. A strange beast that we have seen. As for our grain transport team, three people died, no bones were left, more than ten people were injured, and 30,000 kilograms of grain were missing!"
There was a sudden roar of curses in the conference room.
Strange beasts have the wisdom of strange beasts.
Without food to eat, they can form groups to rob humans.
General Zhao ignored what everyone said and continued:
"Fifteen days ago, swamp poison dart frogs and jumping frogs left the hardened swamp one after another and touched the lakeside. Many scavengers and homeless people were poisoned to death. Examination of the corpses revealed that their stomachs were full of frog eggs! "
There is also insufficient food in the swamp. The swamp loses water, and many fish, shrimps, and loaches may die on a large scale. These swamp animals have to come out to find food.
Tang Wen judged silently.
General Zhao: "According to our sentinel observation point and the information from the Silver Wolf Pack in the north, there is a group of advanced alien beasts called War Bears that have begun to try to invade the Silver Wolf's territory.
These war bears are covered with snow-white bodies and have great fighting prowess. They occupy the iceberg area of the northern forest all year round. It is a large area. In other words, there must be king-level war bears!
The same goes for the southern wilderness. Further south in the sand wolf group's territory, a group of giant snapping turtles of unknown strength moved in. Our sentries did not dare to approach, but what is certain is that there must be high-level alien beasts. Otherwise, the sand wolf will not be afraid..."
Crisis abounds near the camp.
The people who came to the meeting today were also very neat.
Except for Zhou Bing and the Queen, the other generals and commanders came.
Including Generals Xia and Zhang, who have never participated in foreign affairs, as well as the commanders of the imperial guards and the commanders of the caravans.
After General Zhao finished speaking, the room became quiet.
Everyone was mentally calculating the strength of the enemy and ourselves. No one spoke, waiting for the generals to make up their minds.
General Zhou didn't say anything, but looked at Mr. Xia.
The latter held a tobacco bag and was stuffing slender tobacco and mint leaves into it. After doing all this, he said slowly: "Do you know why we built an underground palace in our camp?"
No one answered, and Mr. Xia didn't need anyone to answer. He said in a tone full of memories:
"I have experienced many disasters in my life. The first was the earthquake. I was a martial arts disciple at that time. In order to protect my mother, the beams on the roof fell down. I tried to block it with my hands, and my arm was broken.
In the summer when I was 20 years old, there was a flood in the lake. At that time, all the corn in the camp was planted in that area, and there was no harvest. Many people died of starvation and disease. So now, our main grain growing area is placed at the foot of the mountain and turned into terraced fields.
It turns out that our breeding area is on the edge of a swamp and is heavily guarded. Then, we encountered a riot of swamp animals. After a night, there was no pig hair left...
When I say this, I want to tell you that among all the disasters I have experienced, animal disasters are the most terrifying. Facing the high-level alien beasts, you have nowhere to escape!
The underground palace was dug out to prevent animal disasters.
Literally, those of us who hide in as a last resort.
Those strange beasts ate other people, and when they were full, they withdrew.
We can survive. "
The room was silent, with only sounds echoing.
Mr. Xia stretched out his hand and took a pinch of tobacco on the pot. Sparks ignited and the smell of tobacco leaves wafted out.
"Don't take chances! We have no choice. Fighting out is the only way! It just so happens that many guys from nowhere have joined the camp, so let them rush in front.
Also, these people are not allowed to enter the inner city!
Especially near the royal palace, underground palace, granary and ice cellar!
Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy. "
"clear!"
General Zhao agreed and looked at everyone in the room with serious eyes.
Everyone nodded.
Mr. Xia's voice did not soften at all: "What Xiao Zhao just said is not all crises."
Um?
besides?
Everyone's expressions changed.
Tang Wen frowned secretly: There are really only a few good days, and there is no stopping for a moment!
"That tyrant bear must be dealt with."
No one answered, and the generals frowned.
The Tyrant Bear's ability is related to the earth, its defense is extremely high, and it has no group and lives alone, which makes people's heads ache just thinking about it.
General Xia: "The Black Mountain Camp has its favorite nectar, and we can bribe it to deal with us!"
"But it has rough skin and thick flesh, and it has king-level combat power. We can't kill it at all, we will only anger it!"
"No need to kill, just think of a way to prevent him from joining forces with Montenegro!" Mr. Xia frowned.
"..."
Before everyone could finish the discussion, General Xia waved his hand directly:
"You, commanders, don't have to worry about the Tyrant Bear!"
Immediately, he signaled General Zhou to assign tasks.
"...Commander Wu, Commander Li, you bring sharpshooters and experienced fishermen to deal with the monsters in the swamp...Tang Wen, Qian Dong"
"exist."
"Take your people and follow the sand wolves to the south to see what's going on with the group of snapping turtles."
"clear!"
After the mission was assigned, General Zhou's voice was sonorous: "Get ready now and set off separately."
"yes!"
Tang Wen and Qian Dong left the General's Mansion.
The latter couldn't hide his excitement: "I work as a guard every day, and I can finally go out for a walk! Give me half a day, and I'll call someone."
Tang Wen nodded: "Okay, when you're ready, come find me at my house."
Qian Dong left first, and Tang Wen returned to the palace, took away the black horse, and went home to prepare dry food.
Although the camp will also prepare one, the taste and other aspects cannot be compared with that at home.
Two days later, in the wilderness, a group of people were riding horses against the wind and sand.
"Ouch!"
"It's the sand wolf! Two commanders, we have joined them. But, what should we do next?"
The one who came to report was a member of the imperial guards. He didn't have much experience in performing tasks and didn't know what to do.
Qian Dong didn't understand either, so he looked at Tang Wen.
The latter crossed his legs, and the black horse stepped out from the crowd with elegant little steps.
"Where are those snapping turtles? How many are there?"
"Ouch!"
A wolf howled.
Tang Wen nodded and turned around and said: "It's still far away from here, and the sand wolves have to run for a long time. It's getting late, so let's take a rest first. They will take us to a safe place."
Qian Dong looked shocked, touched his ears and said, "You can't fool me. Do you understand this?"
"Don't worry!" Tang Wen, who wanted to retort him, saw that the guards were equally shocked, so he changed his words to be as gentle as possible.
"Fine."
"Okay! Everyone, believe me, no one understands strange beasts better than me."
In order to enhance his persuasion, Tang Wen pointed to the large blood crow flying in the sky.
"Okay, keep going." Qian Dong took a breath.
Wu Zhui truly took the lead.
When we came to a valley, the wind and sand gradually became smaller.
Everyone looked at the herbivores being kept by sand wolves in the valley, and they all showed surprised expressions.
After washing and tidying up, it was dinner time.
The team members responsible for cooking were about to take out dried meat, mushrooms, and dry biscuits from the donkeys to cook.
Suddenly I saw three sand wolves driving two big rams running towards me.
"Ouch!"
"Thank you for the hospitality, don't leave, stay and eat together!"
"Ouch."
"You're welcome, we not only have salt, but also chili pepper."
Tang Wen seemed to be talking to himself.
But the three wolves really stayed.
Qian Dong and the other guards fell into deep self-doubt:
"Is there any difference between these wolf howls?"
"It seems there is, but it seems there isn't."
"Go to hell! If you don't understand, just say you don't understand."
"Hey, I didn't hear any difference!"
