"See," Gander replied. "It's very similar to you, coming here from the south alone."
"What's wrong with that person?" Ashu Rufate heard some clues from the other party's tone.
"Diet." Gander shrugged. "He is a very powerful man, but no matter how powerful he is, it's useless. He beat twenty people alone, and fought with the masses very beautifully. In the end, he knocked down four opponents. But he himself was also dead and his head was cut off. Well, I'll be honest, that's my father." He paused. "All the southerners who came here are very powerful, but unfortunately, not everyone is as smart as you."
"Actually, we all see that. Although you say you are a chef, I bet that cooking is definitely not your profession. You are a warrior." Seeing Ashu Rufate speechless, Gander continued.
"Ha." Because I didn't know how to answer, Ashu Rufate could only laugh.
"People from the south are either warriors or mages," said Gander. "And they are all very confident... quite powerful. It is said that they usually join the first tribe they meet... or are killed by the first tribe they encounter. You are an exception. Speaking of which, the first time I heard that people from the south actually claim to be a chef."
"Ha ha."
"But you are really amazing and worthy of Claire," Gander continued. "Although you have never picked up a sword, I believe you are a good weapon, aren't you?"
"I? I deserve it?" Ashu Rufate ignored the second half.
"Well, she is very smart, beautiful, and has great potential. If she had time, she would have a bright future. If one day she replaced Asovin, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Hope so."
"She will give you a lot of babies."
"This..." Ashu Rufat felt that there was no need to continue the topic. "This... do you think the Wandering Hunter Tribe will lose?"
"Assovin thinks so, I have no reason to think I'm a little smarter than Assovin."
"But, you also said that the strengths of both sides are roughly equal, and the outcome is difficult to predict." Ashu Rufate asked.
"There is a Chaos Lord in the Kazar tribe." Gande admitted. "The newly promoted. Maybe it is relatively weak among Chaos Lords, but Chaos Lord is the Chaos Lord, and he is much stronger than the Chaos Champion. The ruling of the divine will will never go wrong. I also agree with Asovin's view. I think the outcome of this battle is obvious."
"This is not bad..." Ashu Rufate thought, but he made up his mind to try not to have anything to do with the four evil gods.
"By the way, have you heard about something in the morning? Ned is dead."
Ashu Rufate tried his best to pretend to be surprised.
"The scouts we sent found his body at dawn today. He was killed in the wilderness, and the bodies were a little rotten. There were a lot of crows flying there at that time. They saw the crows and judged that something was dead there." Gander said. "By inferred, he was killed in a one-on-one duel." Seeing that Ashu Rufate had nothing to say, he added. "That move was so neat, some people said it was just as neat as killing the terror champion."
"You mean...the same person did it?" Ashu Rufate had confirmed that this was not a test, but just Gander said casually.
"It's very likely that even Asovin was uneasy." Gander said. "If you're not mistaken, a very powerful wandering warrior will be moving next to us. That warrior... is probably also a Chaos Lord."
Ashrufate already knows that "Chaos Lord" has two concepts. One refers to a Chaos believer leader with actual power, and the other refers to a group divided among believers by the Chaos evil god based on ability as the standard. The other belongs to the group that only belongs to the strong. The former is one of the latter.
"Host towards us?" Ashu Rufate asked intentionally.
"I'm afraid not." Gander replied. "He just killed the guys who were blindly close to him as he pleased. Asovin just notified all the scouts as quickly as possible, so that everyone could be careful."
The scout's journey was not simple. At least, in terms of reconnaissance, these Chaos believers, considered "barbarians", knew something that the southerners did not know.
"Look, this is the way a team of hunters pass by. Don't look at the footprints, they are close to the rock to hide their traces. Look at this stone, if it was not kicked down by a horseshoe, then I am a woman!" Gander carefully checked the suspicious traces around. "A clever detour, at least fifty cavalrymen walked around here, hoping for a raid."
Ashu Rufate listened carefully to Gander's analysis. "Which side is from?"
"Who knows. But I must be an old fox with this team of cavalry." Gander said. "He was so cautious all the way. If it weren't for me, he would have hidden it. Think about it, such a cavalry had sneaked to a certain position, and it didn't leave too many traces..."
"You mean..." Ashu Rufate thought for a moment. "Fifty cavalry? Even a hundred, it doesn't make much sense to detour on the battlefield. This is not a roundabout way to the enemy's side, but once..."
"Steal the camp!" The two looked at each other and said the word at the same time.
The two of them had known that this time, all the combat power of the Hunter Tribe had been fully deployed, and the troops left behind in the camp were almost worth mentioning. Since this is the case, the Qazar Tribe was undoubtedly a comprehensive mobilization. At this moment, if a force could secretly bypass the front line and go to the other party's empty base camp...
This is simply a fatal blow. If the enemy succeeds in the rear, the morale of the front-line troops will definitely be extremely low.
"Cunning guy," said Gander. "If you succeed, you will probably decide the outcome."
Ashu Rufate shook his head, "No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"oh?"
"You said that the battles of life and death... are all cautious. In this case, how could the hunter tribe make such a mistake? There is no doubt that even if you don't adopt this cunning marching method... you just need to go around a big circle to achieve the purpose of sneak attacking the enemy's base camp. It only takes one or two more days. One or two days... The frontline battle will not end in one or two days, which means that this sneak attack will inevitably happen."
"you mean……"
"I guess, this kind of action of the whole army to leave women and children unprotected to stay in the camp is a trick in itself," Ash Rufate replied. "A trap, a trap with tempting bait."
Gander's face changed a little. "Then we must repay Asovin."
"No, no need." Ashu Rufate thought carefully again. "Since Asuwen is so optimistic about the newly promoted Chaos Lord, perhaps this sneak attack is a trick. Think about it, what is the trap of wandering hunters? A camp that looks full of women and children without combat ability? I bet that there must be a large number of soldiers hidden inside, just waiting for the enemy to attack and then kill them all in one place! However, this cavalry only... fifty people, or a little more." Ashu Rufate said while thinking. "The forces on both sides are about three thousand... fifty people, which is an insignificant number. It is no big deal if you lose. I understand."
"what is going on?"
"The Wandering Hunter Tribe sets up a trap, and wants to lure the enemy into and strangle it with fat bait. In order to master the initiative in combat. However, the Kazar Tribe has made plans. I guess... on the one hand, they sent this insignificant small army of fifty people, and on the other hand, they will launch a full-scale offensive on the front line. This is a perfect strategy: if the Wandering Hunter Tribe is really stupid, fifty cavalry launches unexpected sneak attacks, it will be enough to cause huge damage. If this is a military trap, then the troops on the front line are far less than they seem... In other words, the Kazar people have an overwhelming advantage in military strength on the front line."
"Ah...ah..."
"This means that this battle will probably not delay too long," said Ash Rufate. "If the Chaos Lord personally led the army to attack, coupled with the advantage of troops and unexpected effects... Then perhaps, the failure of the Hunter Tribe this time will be faster than anyone expected. Notify Asovin."
Gande immediately took out the magic communication scroll from his body. This was made by Asovin and used to inform emergency military information.
After completing this report, the two continued to move forward. Now, Ashu Rufate can truly learn Gande's scout skills. Unlike the Southern Army scouts relying on their eyes to search for enemies, Gande is more accustomed to finding the traces he needs from the ground. His eyes can always find something that Ashu Rufate ignores and then infer valuable information from it.
"...Yes, this is the camp they camped that night, just as I had just guessed." Gander said. "This is a small outer camp where scouts stay, which means that their army's camp is in front... If it weren't for a highly alert body, the scouts wouldn't have set up such peripheral camps... I think we are close to the battlefield. The place where they fight will not be too far from here... Young people, be careful to keep up with me. You may be an excellent warrior, maybe your actual strength is already of the level of the God-Selected Warrior, maybe you still have great potential to explore, but the place we are going to is the battlefield. Now, there are thousands... or even tens of thousands of people fighting to survive. You can't imagine how terrible that kind of scene is."
Ashu Rufate smiled and followed Gander.
