Chapter 588 Assassination
Yang Ding's goal today is very clear, to assassinate the master of the jackals.
After serious thinking, Yang Ding thinks this is the way to maximize his strength.
With the characteristics of jackals, without these masters, no matter how many ordinary jackals there are, it is impossible to break through the acropolis.
The shield of the Great Wall has a high ability to build a city. In addition to being fast, the city wall is also very strong. It depicts a strong formation and a defensive formation.
The jackals who lacked siege equipment could only use the lives of experts and ordinary jackals to capture the city wall.
So this time the jackal warriors are the main force to attack the city, the commanders are the vanguard, and ordinary jackals can only be reduced to cannon fodder.
Cannon fodder can fill up the moat and consume defensive equipment, which is still somewhat useful.
Wanting to count on cannon fodder to break through the city is just delusional.
So Yang Ding set his target on the leader of the jackals. He didn't want to be able to assassinate the leader of a team of ten thousand people every time, even the leader of a team of thousands of people.
They are the building blocks of an army.
For example, now, Yang Ding has found a target, the leader of the wolf man patrol.
After lying in this straw nest for two hours, he finally summed up the rules of the patrol team and found the leader of the patrol team.
The jackals seem to have forgotten that there is a human being behind them, or maybe they don't take Yang Ding to heart, what a mere human, no matter how powerful it is?
Now, Yang Ding came to tell them that a powerful human could keep them awake at night.
coming!
The leader of the patrol team is actually the leader of the thousand-man team of the gnolls, and their strength is above level five.
Now it is patrolling along the edge of the grass nest with a hundred gnolls.
Every place with peculiar terrain is the focus of patrolling, and it has to inspect it in person to be at ease.
What Yang Ding was waiting for was this opportunity. The leader of the wolf man walked at the front of the team, meticulously inspecting the situation in the grass nest.
Do not think that the grass nest is lower than the ground because the grass below is short. It is difficult to have a hole more than ten meters deep in these grass nests, but it is covered by grass and looks only a little lower than the ground.
In order to avoid trouble, the wolf man did not clear the grass inside, nor did he have any plans to send people down. At most, the wolf man on patrol should pay more attention.
Yang Ding saw the leader of the wolf man walking in front of him, and took out a dagger bought from the Infinity Spear Station. It was better to use a short weapon when assassinating.
clap clap...
Before the sound of Yang Ding rubbing against the surrounding grass reached the ears of the wolf man, he had already arrived behind the leader of the wolf man.
In the shocked eyes of many wolf men behind the leader of the wolf man, Yang Ding pierced its heart with a dagger from the back.
"Ugh..."
A slight and short sound sounded, and the life led by the wolf man quickly dissipated in the air.
Whoosh!
clap clap...
After killing the leader of the jackals, Yang Ding jumped into the grass nest before the other jackals could react, and disappeared into the grass more than two meters high.
The ordinary gnolls who were patrolling with the leader saw that their leader was assassinated by a human (maybe??), howled angrily, and then rushed into the grass nest without hesitation.
"Hey, buy one get one hundred free, great deal!"
Yang Ding didn't expect these jackals to dare to follow, they felt like being buried with him.
Since they dared to come down, Yang Ding naturally had the confidence to send them to reunite with their leader.
A hundred jackals caught in the grass were killed one by one by the elusive Yang Ding, and few of them even saw Yang Ding's figure.
An hour later, the other gnolls on the patrol finally discovered the problem. Their leader and a centurion were missing.
After half an hour of searching, they found bloodstains next to a grass nest.
The jackal's excellent sense of smell allowed them to easily find a hundred corpses scattered in the grass nest.
In the end, this matter attracted the attention of a jackal leader who led five thousand-man teams.
"Whatever strikes them, you must find him, life or death."
"Ouch..."
After Yang Ding successfully completed the assassination, he immediately left Caowozi. Since this is an excellent place to hide his body, he should not stay for a long time.
"I'll be back."
As long as this grass nest exists, Yang Ding will come back sooner or later, this is an excellent battlefield for him.
The death of a patrol leader did not disturb the Gnoll camp. After Yang Ding approached the camp from another direction, he found that it was very quiet inside.
The jackal army was besieging the Acropolis, and there were only three [-]-strong teams guarding the camp.
"The soldiers and horses haven't moved, but the food and grass go first. Do you want to find out where the wolf man's food is?"
Yang Ding looked at the camp, which didn't seem to be very well-defended, and suddenly came up with an idea.
The plan works!
Burning food and grass is more efficient than assassinating the leader of the wolf man.
It’s just that there are two difficulties in burning food and grass, how to find food and grass, and how to burn them.
The Gnoll's food and grass are divided into two parts. One part is the food that has been prepared, including grain and meat. They are stored in the big camp, and Yang Ding should be able to find them after he enters.
The second part was the livestock he had seen. This part of the food was all live and kept on the grasslands around the camp. It was very troublesome for Yang Ding to burn them to death.
"Destroy part of the food first, and the remaining herds cannot feed so many wolf men."
Yang Ding understood very clearly that although gnolls mainly eat meat, their huge number determines the indispensability of grains.
Burning the food stored in the big camp would leave at least one third of the wolf people without food.
If you don't eat, you have no strength, and if you don't have strength, you can't attack the city.
Yang Ding: I am the hero who defended the city!
It's done!
Yang Ding waited patiently not far outside the camp, waiting for the night to fall.
The jackal's eyes are quite special, and he can see far away at night, but the effect is similar to wearing night vision goggles, everything he sees is light green.
Yang Ding's vision is almost the same at night as during the day, so he prefers to act at night.
"Sleep first, then act at night."
Yang Ding, who is familiar with the habits of jackals, found himself a very safe bedroom, a cave.
There is not enough space to dig by yourself, so you have to sleep comfortably.
Yang Ding began to rest, and neither the Wolf Man nor the Great Wall Shield of the Acropolis had time to rest.
The jackals in the rear were searching for that bold human being all over the grassland.
The jackals ahead are planning an attack.
The leader of the wolf man is very aware of his own weakness. If he wants to break through the human city, he must find its weakness, and then gather the strong members of the clan to break through.
"Let the kobolds and piggies prepare to attack the city in an hour."
"Yes."
As the big clan among the orcs, the jackals have many vassal races, and the kobolds and piggies are two of them.
They don't have high combat power, but they are very suitable for testing.
An hour later, horns sounded in front of the gnoll army, and the siege began.
The war has fallen into a state of frenzy from the very beginning!
