Hu Bin and his party were taken to the stronghold of the Isilian rangers. The entrance to the stronghold was actually in a tree hole, and the rangers actually dug a cave for hiding soldiers underground. The heroic knights were taken to the cave at the rear to smear their wounds. Although they were protected by shields when they were attacked, some of them were still shot and wounded by these rangers with superb archery skills. The venom on the arrows of the rangers was very strong. It's troublesome, so it's better to deal with it as soon as possible. "Sir, Captain Okov of the Third Isilian Squadron is reporting to you." A strong man with a beard saluted Hu Bin after reading Hu Bin's paperwork. This burly man turned out to be a member of this team. The squadron leader of the ranger squadron, the Ithilien rangers should not be all slender and agile guys. It is hard to imagine this guy standing on the treetops shooting arrows. "Well, are you the only ones?" Hu Bin looked at the soldiers in the cave through the light and found that there were only more than 20 people here. "Sir, the 3rd Squadron is fully staffed with 50 people. Some of us are still monitoring the actions of the Runes. It will be our turn to take over from them in a while. There is also a team of five people hunting in the woods. Bearded Huo Cove introduced the team's situation to Hu Bin: "What is the approximate size of the Rune people's supply team? " "There are about 400 infantry and 30 cavalry following, usually escorting ten large carts of supplies at a time. Sometimes there are some mercenaries following. Although they are not many in number, our people have been there several times during investigations. They were noticed by this group of mercenaries. Sir, these people should not be underestimated. "Okov said with some worry. "Of course I know to be careful about those guys. 400 people! "Hu Bin felt that things were a bit difficult to handle. Although this unit was called a squadron, the Ishilien Ranger unit, which was mainly for reconnaissance, had a different organization from other units. Hu Bin originally thought that there would be two hundred people waiting for him, but he didn't expect There are only fifty people. Although these soldiers are elites, it is too difficult for them and their knights to take down a heavily guarded supply team, let alone the possibility of encountering hostile forces. Numberer. ¡°Do we really need to join up with the Lord Numberers, or should we wait for the temporarily recruited numberers. "Hu Bin thought to himself, while Okov stood there waiting for the other party, showing no sign of impatience. He could let Baicheng directly appoint him to take over his squadron. One can imagine the energy of this elf . Thinking of this, Okov felt a little moved. Seeing that Hu Bin was very talkative, he wanted to ask the other party something. There are more than me, and it will be difficult to seize the initiative when the time comes. It's not fun to be tricked into looking for Tao Zi. It seems that you need to calm down first. "Hu Bin hammered his palms when he thought of this, stood up and saw Okov looking at him eagerly, and immediately shivered. "Okov, what's the matter with you? " "Sir, I would like to ask for news about General Faramir. I haven't received an order from him for a long time. During this time, the military department was directing us. Did something happen? "Okov asked a little nervously, for fear of causing the commander to misunderstand. "Your Excellency Faramir was imprisoned by the regent because he failed to defend the Aocheng Fortress. Now his brother Boromir is serving as your commander, and I am Boromir's friend. He was sent here to assist you. You don't need to be restrained, I'm just an honorary nobleman, and I'm just here to assist you. "Hu Bin looked easy-going. Although he concealed some facts, he did not lie. Although he was sent by Gandalf, the military badge was indeed issued by Boromir. "Is that so? I'm sorry, sir. What is our next mission, shall we continue to monitor the Runes? "Although Okov was a little surprised, the high-level affairs are not something that he, the squadron leader, can pry into. "No, recall all the people and let the soldiers have a good night's rest. I brought some supplies. You can try the elves tonight. Lambas of the tribe. We might get some support tomorrow and that's when we'll really need you to shine. "Hu Bin felt that his strength was not enough to swallow up the supply team alone, so he simply gave up the initiative and waited in the dark to see what the lord numberers would do. "Yes, sir! "Although he was a little hesitant about Hu Bin's order, Okov still didn't ask. Obeying orders is a necessary quality for soldiers. Okov didn't want to leave a bad impression on this commander. There is no General Faramir now. Cover yourself up above "Li, are you sure those aboriginal people won't stumble us. "A brown-haired middle-aged man asked slowly. "They have no troops left. If they stumble us, who will contain the runes? I have been waiting for a long time for this good opportunity. "The man called LiI couldn't bear to be asked in 2016, so I finally replied. "David, you asked me several times on the way. If you're scared, just quit this operation. It just so happens that Li and I can share some more benefits." The numberer next to him looked very tough at first glance. Speaking sarcastically next to him. "Belikov, there's nothing wrong with being careful. Do you think I'm just as obsessed with biceps as you are." The middle-aged man named David responded to Belikov without changing his expression. "That's enough. If I had known your virtues, I should have come with Ye Lang and the others." Li finally had enough of the quarrels between the two of them along the way. Seeing Li's outburst, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the other two people, and they immediately stopped arguing and continued on their way. "What are you looking at? Let me explore the way ahead." Belikov turned around and took out his temper on his men, and the cavalryman received the order and immediately accelerated towards the front. These three people are the lord numberers that Hu Bin is waiting for. Behind them is a large army. They are rushing to the hilly area in the north overnight, which is the only way for the Rune supply team according to the intelligence. Presumably those The aboriginal nobles would not lie on this information. After all, they still needed these three people to delay the Rune army. Li looked at these two guys with a headache. There were a total of eight members in the Numbered Lords Alliance. Although they are united for various reasons, in fact the relationship between the eight people is not very good. "Hmph. If my cavalry hadn't fought so hard with those desert peoples in the south, I wouldn't have shared this mission." Li thought with some annoyance that he was the one who triggered this mission, but he didn't have enough The troops were swallowed up alone. Li's territory was just south of Baicheng. He had previously fought a tough battle with the scattered camel cavalry. As a result, the cavalry unit he had spent great efforts to cultivate died in that battle, and the aboriginal nobles Doing nothing against the enemies who were plundering in his territory was also the biggest reason why Li joined the Numbered Lords Alliance to resist the top leaders of Baicheng. Li is the more powerful one among the numbered lords. Although he lost all the cavalry units, he still managed to accumulate some troops in more than a year. For this mission, he spent a lot of money and brought all the noble private soldiers over. There are 150 well-equipped soldiers behind him. The Gondor infantry is his greatest confidence. Belikov and David are not as powerful as Li, and their territories in the west of Gondor are not rich. Therefore, they did not accumulate too many troops, but the biggest reason why the two were chosen as partners by Li was the cavalry in their hands. David brought about 40 cavalry troops for this mission, while Belikov only brought about 20 cavalry troops, but he also brought a group of about 50 archers. Of course, the combined strength of the three men may not necessarily be able to capture the Rune supply team, but there are more than just soldiers following them, as more than 60 numbered people have gathered under their command. Prepare to take a share of the pie in this mission, and after adding the strength of these numberers, the total number of troops doing the mission has reached an astonishing 600, which is enough to crush the army that is said to be only more than 400 if nothing unexpected happens. Human supply team. "Should we bring the wild wolf with us, that way this operation will be more secure." David repeated his old tune again after a period of silence. "He has already fallen in love with someone else. Do we still need to take into account the old relationship and give him a piece of the pie? Stop joking." Although Belikov's words were still full of irony, his tone softened. David is right. It was not safe to have only the three of them on this mission. The numbered lord named Wild Wolf originally had a good relationship with them, but he hooked up with others and took away many numbered people. Li was silent as he listened to the words of the two people behind him. He knew very well that the words of the two people were meant for him. At that time, he was the one who firmly opposed letting the guy Ye Lang join. He did not feel the behavior of Ye Lang taking refuge with others. There was nothing to be angry about, but he chose to take refuge in that guy. Although that guy was superior to him in terms of strength and means, he still hated that guy's condescending expression. David and Belikov looked at each other and noticed the helplessness in each other's eyes. The lords' alliance is not monolithic. Although there are many bad factions in it, it is also divided into several small groups. They and the four wild wolves originally occupied the leading position in the alliance, but due to the participation and differentiation of others, they lost the control they had over the alliance in the past, and their interests were greatly weakened. If this had continued like this, they could have endured it, but because Li's territory was turned into ruins due to the invasion of the desert peoples, the strongest point among them was weakened, and the departure of the wild wolf at this time was undoubtedly for this A sharp stab in the wound of the small group. "I hope this mission goes well!" Looking at Li's back in front of him, Belikov sighed in a rare way. "Let's camp here today. I heard that there is a disabled Ithilien Ranger force nearby. Although those guys can't be of much help, the information in their hands is still very important. David, you Send the cavalry ahead to see if you can meet those people." Li kept thinking about the details of this mission, and finally suddenly thought that there was a scout force here, and he might be able to get some useful information from there. . "Okay, but I've wanted to ask for a long time. Is it really a problem for us to bring this group of numberers to the territory of the Runes in such a big way?" David asked still calmly. "We know what's going on, so just go quickly and stop asking questions." Before Li could speak, Belikov couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately urged David to get on his way. Seeing David's retreating figure, Belikov turned around and asked Li: "Well. Although he was very reluctant, I have to say that David's worry is very reasonable. Li, what do you think about this group of numbers?" "Do you have any plans?" "You want to ask if there are other spies here! Don't worry, this is a game between us and Baicheng. They have no reason to sabotage our mission, otherwise there will be nothing in this alliance. It makes sense, they won't do such mindless things. I'm more worried about the enemies on the opposite side. According to the news from Ao Cheng, many numberers from the hostile camp are active in this area. These guys are much more difficult to deal with than the Luen army. ""Don't worry, it's not like we haven't encountered those guys before. Besides, the number of numberers on our side will only be larger." After saying this, Belikov suddenly said. He asked, "Is it David who has the problem?" Li glanced at the Russian man in surprise. It seemed that this guy wasn't all about muscles. It was felt so quickly. "David really talked too much today. Although he is usually so cautious, he never makes me feel so impatient." Li's faint voice reached David's ears. "Even he is like this, what should we do in the future?" Belikov said with some disappointment. No one else knew that his relationship with Li was actually the closest among the four. Because they had met in the previous world, and Belikov had saved Li once. Unexpectedly, in this world, the Chinese young man who once did not dare to kill anyone would actually become so calm, calm and even cold. . Belikov was sure that during the period after he and Li separated in the previous world. Li must have encountered some big changes. "Let's take it one step at a time. At least we still have the path to surrender to the aboriginal people. But I hope those guys don't push me to any step, otherwise I will become a very good knife." Li's eyes flashed. There was a cold light, and Belikov shrugged and said nothing. David didn't know that the other two people had noticed something was wrong with him. After getting out of their sight, he immediately contacted an unknown person using remote communication means, and then began to look for the ranger unit, but unfortunately, until At dawn, he didn't find a single figure, so he had to join the others. What he didn't know was that the person he had been looking for all night was watching him not far from him. "Hey, I'm really a bad guy for letting this guy look for me all night." Hu Bin laughed at himself, while Okov next to him curled his lips and said nothing when the elf Hu Bin found him. Well, if anyone could easily discover Ithilien, they would be dead long ago. The rangers who were out investigating were all called back to their stronghold. Of course, David could not find any shadow. Hu Bin only discovered that the numbered lord's troops had arrived when he felt magic fluctuations nearby. David's communication was directly exposed. He took his position, and Hu Bin didn't bother to rest, so he asked Okov to lead a few rangers to explore the entire camp. "Sir, aren't they our reinforcements? Why don't you go up and communicate with them?" Okov asked with some confusion. "Because the superiors told them that your Third Squadron has been completely destroyed after two unsuccessful sneak attacks on the supply team." Hu Bin glanced at Okov and slowly told the squadron leader a piece of news that made the squadron leader think deeply. "You can communicate with them, but hey hey hey!" Hu Bin suddenly thought of a good idea. If he let Okov inadvertently leak some information he wanted to let those people know, those people would Will people take the bait? He couldn't wait to see the head-to-head confrontation between this force and the defenders of the supply team. As for whether he would intervene or not, he would wait until then. After Hu Bin finalized this sudden idea, he began toOkov gave instructions, and Okov's face became darker and darker. Finally, he hurriedly left Hu Bin with a look of fear. He must have been frightened by this sinister elf. "Fortunately, those rangers were recalled in time, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought of such a good idea." Hu Bin patted the briefing sheet in the package, hummed a little tune and slowly disappeared into the forest. ??Reconnaissance briefing of the Third Isilian Squadron: At night, five kilometers away from the stronghold in the northeast, the enemy mobilized abnormally, felling trees, collecting stones, loading trucks, and disguised themselves as a supply convoy, with the real convoy following behind, a trap. The soldiers who went to recall the reconnaissance force did not bring back those people, but handed the briefing of the battle to Hu Bin, and Hu Bin was glad that he did not act rashly. It seemed that someone had exposed the movements of the numberer lords to the Rune people. If he hadn't seen the numberer named David contacting other people, Hu Bin would have even suspected that Baicheng was the culprit. Even Li didn't expect that David not only betrayed him, but also defected to the Rune people. He didn't know how he got in touch with the opponent. If Hu Bin hadn't accidentally discovered David's abnormality, it is estimated that even if this mission was successful, David would continue to lurk in the Gondor camp. Who would have thought that a lord-level numberer would betray Gondor? One can only imagine how much harm this guy will bring to Baicheng in the future, and what Hu Bin really cares about is how many such spies there are in Baicheng, and whether his every move is in the eyes of the person numbering on the opposite side. Thinking of this, Hu Bin hid his figure in the woods even more secretly. PS: This chapter is really difficult to write. My brainstorming ability is a bit weak. The next few chapters will usher in a small climax, which can be regarded as the final foreshadowing of the decisive battle in Baicheng. After that, people from all walks of life will go into battle. Don¡¯t say anything at that time. This is adventure.
