In the seemingly endless white world, a team marched on the snowy field.
After arriving at the canyon base, Ye Qiong immediately arranged for the soldiers to put things together first.
You can have a good rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, you will need to camp in the wild.
The weather has been pretty good these days. As for what will happen in the next few days, it's hard to say now. With luck, we can get rid of that wave of madmen before the next snowstorm comes.
If you are unlucky, a snowstorm will come in a day or two, which will be more troublesome.
This thing is completely unpredictable based on the current level of technology. Although a snowstorm can be predicted based on changes in some clouds, this time can only be within a few hours.
We can only allow humans to respond as quickly as possible before the blizzard comes, to minimize losses and casualties.
After a night of adjustment and rest, the soldiers gathered on the side of the canyon base at dawn the next morning.
Including the twenty warriors from the Huiliang tribe, the number of frontline warriors on this expedition reached one hundred and seventy.
The fact that the twenty warriors of the Huiliang tribe could survive the battle with the madman is enough to illustrate their strength.
Although he can't compare with the poor warriors of the Ye Qiong tribe and the powerful archers in the tribe, there is still no problem in joining the team of first-line warriors.
Everyone was divided into two large teams. The front-line warriors marched on the canyon, and the carriages pulled giant crossbows and some strategic materials.
The soldiers on the second line were marching in the canyon on the frozen river inside.
Supplies and food, as well as the heavier black armor, are placed on the raft, and the ice on the river has the smallest friction, so the second-line soldiers can easily pull it along.
It takes much less effort than on the snow.
A total of eighty sets of black armor were installed on a dozen rafts.
The soldiers are now traveling lightly.
Now the tribe's plan is to set up camp one day in advance, about ten kilometers away from the original location of the Huiliang tribe, which is where the madman is now. Ye Qiong needs to take some scouts to explore a closer area. for a moment, and then start formulating a specific battle plan.
If they attack by force, it will be difficult to directly crush them with the overall strength of the Ye Qiong tribe's current expedition team.
Casualties are inevitable. It depends on the specific number of casualties after the battle is over.
Therefore, a forceful attack would be very risky. Ye Qiong's idea was to see if there were any natural dangers over there, just like he did when he ambushed the crazy group last winter, so as to minimize the tribe's losses.
When it was getting dark, the reconnaissance soldiers who explored the road in front came back.
After Ye Qiong asked about the situation, he decided to go to the windy place on the side of the mountain to establish a temporary strategic base.
Let the soldiers on the second line take out the supplies from the rafts, and place the rafts on the edge of the canyon first. There is no need to bury them, just place them directly against the slope.
Eighty sets of black armor will be worn by soldiers tomorrow.
These armors obtained from the waterfall are themselves prepared for the battle with the madman.
Now is the time for practice. In the tribe, Ye Tianling has already had some soldiers specially trained.
After putting on the black armor, the warriors became veritable heavy-armored warriors, and the Snow Demonic Wolf they played was also the largest among the demonic wolves. If these heavy-armored warriors were armed with spears, they would be able to attack the Snowy Demonic Wolf when they charged. Under the pressure, the spear can easily pierce the madman's chest.
It is definitely not something that ordinary madmen can resist.
Ye Qiong rode on Dudu's back and climbed directly to the highest point of the mountain, followed closely by Ye Tianling, Lanfeng, and several high-ranking warriors from the tribe.
The altitude of this mountain is the lowest compared to the surrounding ones. Even so, after climbing up, the temperature has dropped a lot, and you can feel the biting chill.
Fortunately, there is no wind here, so we can still withstand this level of cold.
It was getting darker now, but not completely dark.
Madmen can use fire, so Ye Qiong came up this time to determine the specific location of the Huiliang tribe.
In order to better formulate combat plans.
After arriving at the top, before Lanfeng could speak, Ye Qiong had already seen the location of a fire.
It was almost exactly ten kilometers away from where they were now.
The light of the flames can easily spread here if there is no wind, snow or fog.
However, only the light of the fire can be seen. It is completely unclear what the specific situation is over there. If you have a telescope with a larger focal length, you can have a look.
It's a pity that there is no such thing.
Although Ye Qiong has been tinkering for many years, he has never come up with materials that meet the diopter and transparency standards.
Therefore, we can only wait for the refining technology to continue to improve and find suitable raw materials to produce things like glass.
By then, not only will the problem of the telescope be solved, but the greenhouse will also be able to be manufactured.
Lanfeng looked at the firelight coming from his own tribe, and his expression was not very good. After all, a few days ago, many of his relatives and friends were killed by the madman's sword and stick.
When he saw the firelight now, he was so angry that his teeth itched, and the murderous aura in his eyes was projected out like a substance.
It's a pity that looks can't kill people, let alone madmen. If the warriors of Lanfeng and Huiliang tribes want revenge, they need to pick up the weapons in their hands and kill them.
Ye Qiong is still somewhat familiar with this area. In the summer of this year, Ye Qiong took Ronngling and others on a long trip to the Ruishui base and passed by here.
Ye Qiong also paid attention to the place where the Huiliang tribe chose to live in the winter.
It is a relatively suitable place for habitat nearby, and it is difficult for the beast tide to find it.
However, their luck was not very good. After being discovered by the crazy crowd, they almost lost their lives.
It was really not easy for Lanfeng and the others to lead more than a hundred tribesmen and fight their way out from the hands of the mad crowd.
Ye Qiong and the others stayed on the top of the mountain for a while, discussing what they would do tomorrow.
The battle will not start tomorrow. Ye Qiong's plan is to take a few people, ride on the Snow Demon Wolf, and wander around for a while.
Most of them will be hidden here for the time being, and the mad crowd will never be able to find them.
In winter, the warning range of ordinary small tribes of humans is not as far as ten kilometers.
After coming down the mountain, the soldiers had already prepared the snow cave and camp.
What the soldiers have to do today is to have a good rest.
