The next day.
After dawn, Ye Qiong did not get up so early. When he rode Daidai and brought the soldiers back to the base here last night, it was already late at night, so Ye Qiong needed to sleep a little longer in the morning, otherwise , the energy level during the day will be a little worse.
It wasn't until the sky was completely bright and the starlight had appeared at the end of the sky and began to rise slowly that Ye Qiong opened his eyes.
There are already the sounds of soldiers busy around, continuing to dig holes. At the base here, some defenses have been built to defend against the sudden attack of the beast tide.
After Ye Qiong got up, he immediately called Ye Tianling and the high-level soldiers here together.
More than a dozen people crowded directly into a tent. Ye Qiong briefly talked to everyone about what happened last night, mainly talking about this group of madmen, who seemed to be quite cautious and wanted to lure them out. , getting to the ambush circle seems not that simple.
So now we need to re-examine the new combat plan.
Ye Tianling and the soldiers began to discuss it at random. With Ye Tianling's temper, his strategy was to directly bring the large troops over and win a quick victory!
With the current comprehensive strength of their tribe, as well as the troops and giant crossbows brought out this time, although they do not directly crush this group of madmen, there is definitely no big problem in winning. The only thing that needs to be considered is the battle. As long as the battle damage is acceptable, Ye Tianling feels there is no problem.
Ye Tianling has always been fond of fighting. In previous years, if he met other tribes while hunting and collecting supplies in the summer, according to Ye Tianling's temper, he would just say it with a hard fist.
When Ye Tianling led troops, he also had very strict requirements and was a very ruthless character.
Ye Qiong also thought that if there was no way to lure those madmen out, then there was only one way left, which was to attack directly.
After all, they are now in the wilderness of Snow Star, and there is no way to fight for a long time. It is best if they can fight quickly. If the battle time is extended, it will definitely not be a good thing for the tribe.
Even this kind of small-scale battle requires a lot of manpower and material resources for the tribe. When fighting, the soldiers who come out and the second-line soldiers responsible for logistics are all from production and construction for the tribe. Extruded from above.
The final result of the discussion was to observe for another day. If the madman could not be lured out, then directly launch a frontal attack on them the day after tomorrow.
After the meeting, Ye Qiong went off to do other things. It was not until the afternoon that several soldiers responsible for the investigation came back in a hurry and brought a piece of news.
That is, the current madman tribe is very quiet, without any sign of madman activity...
Ye Qiong asked carefully and felt something was not right, so he immediately called Dadai over, mounted Dadai and galloped towards the Huirang tribe.
This time, Ye Qiong didn't bring anyone with him, and planned to go over and see what was going on.
Ye Qiong rode Daidai as fast as possible to the edge of the Huirang tribe. After finding a higher place, he looked into the Huirang tribe.
I found that just as the previous soldier said, the Huiliang tribe is extremely quiet now.
There was no sign of madman activity in the tribe, that is to say, not even a shadow of a madman was seen.
It's broad daylight now, not night, so it's a bit abnormal.
Although neither madmen nor humans come out very often in winter, they still have to come out to solve physiological problems. If there are only a few people, it is normal to not see anyone all day long, but as the number of people increases, The probability of going out will also increase.
After reaching the scale of dozens of people, there will definitely be several figures coming out within an hour on average.
Ye Qiong looked at the peaceful Huirang tribe and had no intention of rushing in. Instead, he jumped off Dudu's back and continued to watch.
Until about twenty minutes later, there was still no figure seen. However, in the distance, Ye Tianling led a dozen soldiers and rode the Snow Demon Wolf over.
Now Ye Qiong is basically certain that there should be no madmen in the Huiliang tribe, but he just can't figure out why. Could it be that they are ambushing them?
Now someone must go into the Huirang tribe to investigate.
Ye Qiong looked at the few Qiongqi warriors behind Ye Tianling and waved his hand to let them come over.
A total of five soldiers were arranged by Ye Qiong to investigate, and Ye Qiong asked Ye Tianling to take the remaining people to follow behind.
I took Dadai with me and went to another place.
In winter, if a group like the Madman leaves a tribe, it will inevitably leave traces, unlike in summer, where once they can't be found, they can never be found again.
In winter, snow will expose the whereabouts of all humans and monsters. It is impossible to hide them.
Although it is possible to hide one's footprints, a madman cannot.
Only when humans are lurking and hunting, they will move forward while arranging people to be responsible for cutting off the trail, and use branches to clean up the footprints along the way.
Therefore, to judge whether there are any madmen in the Huiliang tribe, other than going in directly to take a look, you can also walk around. If they really leave, they will definitely leave their footprints.
The troops were divided into two groups. Ye Tianling and the others went in the direction of the Huirang tribe, while Ye Qiong rode Daidai and started running towards another place.
There are still many footprints in the area near the Huiliang tribe. After all, it is a tribe with 500 people. The soldiers who are responsible for patrolling on weekdays and some bored children staying at home will walk around the tribe. Go, so Ye Qiong wants to judge whether this wave of madmen has left through the footprints, and needs to go a little further.
Ye Qiong now started running with the Huirang tribe as the center and the distance between the current high slope and the tribe as the radius, riding on Daidai's back.
After Ye Qiong arrived at the north location, he quickly discovered a long footprint.
After arriving, Ye Qiong jumped down to take a look, then grabbed some trampled snow and put it on the tip of his nose to smell...
"Hiss..."
Fresh.
Ye Qiong frowned and looked at the footprints disappearing at the end of the northern sky, and immediately muttered: "Did you really run away?"
Although I don’t understand it a bit, the facts are here. The group of madmen who were still in the Huiliang tribe last night, under the leadership of the Madman King, packed up their things and ran away overnight!
This point, from Ye Qiong's current perspective, is too abnormal. After all, the madman is not so cowardly in Ye Qiong's impression and the records in the ancient tribal books.
Ye Qiong threw the ice cubes in his hands directly on the ground, then clapped his hands and looked towards the north.
Now there is a new problem before Ye Qiong.
Should we pursue or not?
