Passing through the camp of the orc soldiers and continuing to track the fresh scent of humans, the pace of the forced march suddenly quickened.
Yang Yu observed Kunya's every move and judged Kunya's current state of mind.
In case he loses his mind over this matter, Yang-woo is ready to take over the command from him at any time.
But for now, there are no problems.
In this way, Yang Yu and his companions traveled several miles under Kun Ya's leadership. Suddenly, Kun Ya issued an order.
"stop!"
The entire army stopped as ordered, and Kunya immediately squatted down to check the footprints left by humans. He found that the footprints in front of him were not deep and did not reach the bottom.
This goes against common sense.
And the taste of this path has become a bit monotonous
He put his hand into the snow and felt the soft frozen soil that was a bit prickly. Then he reached down and touched a piece of solid ice. Kunya immediately realized that something was wrong.
"I see. How cunning. I never thought that humans had anticipated that we would send out a team to follow them and set a trap.
All troops, please pay attention. There is a trap dug by humans ahead of us. They should be not far away, waiting for us to fall into it.
Keep your spirits up and don't miss a single sound."
Kunka whispered the order. The orcs have extremely sharp hearing, and as long as the sound is not mixed with other noises, it is loud enough for everyone in the army to hear it.
of course there are exceptions.
Yang Yu did not have the same keen hearing and sense of smell as the orcs, so he could not hear clearly even though he was standing in the front row.
Fortunately, Yang Yu had Lothcar by his side. Lothcar could hear and smell everything that Yang Yu could not hear or smell.
Lotkar told Yang Yu all the details and conjectures he had observed.
There was a huge area in front of their army, which was divided into a huge rectangle by the faint smell of human beings, and the footprints went straight through the center of the rectangular area.
Needless to say, a huge trap appeared before them.
Now Lotkar could still detect dozens of scents in the footprints beneath them, but there was only one smell in the footprints passing through that area.
Perhaps the Rose Empire had anticipated from the beginning that the Wansheng Kingdom would send its elite troops to target their elite troops, or perhaps the whereabouts of the Wansheng Kingdom's forced march had been exposed, so the mysterious army dug a deep pit, transported the soil to a distant place, and then transported the snow from afar here, and spread it on the deep pit to create a trap.
In order to lure the orc army to take this route, the troop may have used some flying magic or something to leave footprints on the trap.
Yang Yu stared at the footprints in front of him again and again. While Kun Ya led the soldiers to listen carefully to the sounds around them and look for the enemy, he was also thinking calmly.
As we all know, orcs have a keen sense of smell, and the Rose Empire, which has fought against orcs for so many years, cannot be unaware of this.
To build such a trap, either the enemy is cutely stupid, or they have forgotten the characteristics of orcs, or they really have other intentions.
As the saying goes, when you can't figure out something, it's best to think about it from the other person's perspective.
If I were to stand in the shoes of Rose's elite troops and collide with the elite troops of Wansheng Country, how could I ensure my team's victory with the least casualties
Yang Yu pondered over it and came to his own conclusion.
As expected, launching a sneak attack is the most effective way of fighting. Cutting off food supplies, sneaking through Chencang, and other various strategies are essentially a sneak attack.
If there is nothing wrong with other people's tactics or strategies, then use tricks to create some problems for them, and then take advantage of their weakness to destroy their life.
In this endless plain, especially the plain that is frozen silent by ice and snow, human actions will definitely be discovered by the orc soldiers with keen hearing.
If I were them, what kind of sneak attack would I use to catch the opponent off guard and kill them by surprise
"It looks like there is no ambush, just a simple trap. All troops, please follow my steps to avoid this trap. Be careful not to alert the enemy. We need to continue tracking and give them a big surprise."
Without hearing any unusual sounds, Kunya gave the order to march, and at that moment, Yang Yu thought of a possibility.
In this world, there is a barrier that can eliminate sound. If that kind of barrier is used alone, it consumes a lot of magic power. However, if one barrier protects multiple people, it can save a lot of magic power.
This trap is covered with a layer of ice. Even if you notice the magical ice under the snow, you rarely think about the barrier.
The best time to attack the enemy is when the enemy thinks he is safe and lets down his guard, that is, this moment!
"Hibiscus, chant magic, and all troops on alert!"
When Yang Yu shouted this, it was already too late. Bai Jin could feel that there was no magic fluctuation in front of them just now, but suddenly a huge amount of magic fluctuation came out without any warning, and a giant magic circle suddenly unfolded under their feet.
A feeling of heaviness suddenly came over him. This was a magic [Slow Down Array] similar to the [Ghost Shadow Array] used by Bai Jin, which could greatly slow down the enemy's movement speed.
However, the scope of this formation is too large now, and it is impossible for ordinary people to use it.
Suddenly, Lotkar's ears caught the sound of something breaking. The next moment, a blue beam of light broke through the ice cover and rose suddenly. Countless ice crystals and soil were flying around, like a violent snowstorm.
But this fierce snowstorm did not bring cold, but something more terrifying than cold.
Dozens of soldiers in purple tights jumped out from the blue light column and headed straight towards Yang Yu and his troops, wielding all kinds of weapons and launching indiscriminate killings.
Even veterans who had fought in many battles had never seen such an attack. The enemy had hidden underground and then rose to high altitudes to launch a surprise attack on them.
Screams suddenly rang out one after another, blood splattered everywhere, and the elite troops who had not been trained together were in chaos during the rapid march.
"Calm down! Pick up your weapons and fight! Only by fighting can you survive. They are human beings, extremely cruel and ruthless. If you run away now, you will only die."
After Kunya's roar, the chaos in the army came to an abrupt end. They all took up their weapons and fought, and actually managed to resist the enemy's attack to some extent.
However.
A giant with white hair stood up from the pit. He was more than five meters tall. A white light emanated from his body and his muscles bulged greatly. He had undoubtedly released some enhanced skills, and he climbed up to the plain nimbly.
Clench your fists, activate your skills, and slam them hard on the ground.
"[Rip the Earth]!"
I felt the entire plain suddenly tremble, and the ground instantly cracked along the giant snowman's fist, becoming a distinct color from the white snow. The Rose soldiers in purple tights seized this opportunity to cause heavy casualties.
But the snowman did not show any joy, on the contrary, he looked a little strange. He slowly moved his hand away, and saw a man half-kneeling on the ground in the deep pit, holding a shield high.
