Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 64: Xiao Lin’s plan (2)
After a brief argument, Xiao Lin and others finally stepped into the Sunset Canyon. Although he himself did not have full confidence, if he didn't want to die of thirst here, he had to find a supply station first.
The entire sunset canyon is V-shaped, and the entrance is relatively narrow. After turning the first corner, the view in front of you immediately becomes wider. Looking into the distance, the canyon is winding and winding, and the surrounding rocks are stacked in layers. At the same time, following the twists and turns of the Grand Canyon, it is like a tie, walking and dancing on the earth.
Although the high temperature is unbearable, clusters of plants grow in the crevices of the rock formations, and some even produce light red, thumb-sized wild fruits. Despite Xiao Lin’s repeated warnings, some people could not help but taste one. Within a few minutes, this hapless guy rolled on the ground with pain and covered his stomach, his face turned pale. In the end, Xiao Lin could only stun him first, hesitated, and let others take turns to help him move on.
This episode made the team slower and the water consumption was faster than expected, especially because many people didn’t know how to distribute the limited water, so they drank most of the pot in one breath. It took only two hours. Around half of the people drank all the water.
The heat and thirst torment many people, but there is no sign of the supply station that Xiao Lin said. Some people have regretted: "In fact, we should go all the way with Wang Dalin. Other than that, the rear is the plain area. I also looked at the signs on that map. The water sources are basically distributed in that area."
Xiao Lin's idiot's eyes swept at him, and he said with no good air: "You can think of this, can't the garrison of the Thunder Kingdom think of it? The climate around here is very dry, and I want to ensure the supply of water, the garrison’s barracks. They must be built near the water source, and they can’t escape."
"Why are you so sure that they can't escape? Although I don't want to take risks, Wang Dalin's words are actually somewhat reasonable. The success rate is at least 50-50. It is risky, but as long as it is not discovered..." /
"It's impossible to succeed!" Xiao Lin sighed: "Have you noticed how the mandatory missions are written to get rid of the pursuit of the kingdom's army? This is the prerequisite for setting the mission, which actually means from the beginning The enemy already knows that we are coming."
Xiao Lin scratched his hair with some annoyance: "I have been thinking about this problem since just now. This prerequisite is very contradictory. If we say that the real battle in history is completely simulated, then the enemy should only be after the start of the exam. I know of our existence."
"How did they know? No scouts like scouts were found."
Xiao Lin Tantanshou: "I don't even think about it, but if my guess is true, if I go to reconnaissance now, it's just going to die."
"Impossible, even if it is accidentally discovered, just disperse and retreat..."
"Wolf cavalry." Xiao Lin shook his head and interrupted the other party: "Don't you look at the information seriously? This garrison includes two infantry brigades and a wolf cavalry squadron."
"What about the wolf cavalry, uh, okay..." The man who was speaking was a dark-skinned man with a long bow on his back, but he was frank, realizing that he was thinking too simple, so he took the initiative to apologize to Xiao Lin.
Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge can understand how terrible the impact and speed of the cavalry in the plains are. Xiao Lin doesn’t know much about the wolf cavalry, and there is no detailed description in the information, but he How could they not believe that their group of new students, who have not even reached the level of black iron, can run through the four legs of a cavalry on the plain with only two legs.
The man hesitated, and then asked: "If the garrison of the Thunder Kingdom is really prepared for a long time, with the advantage of the cavalry, they may really not escape, why don't you remind them?"
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly: "Wang Dalin certainly didn't expect this, but others may not have expected it. All this is just my baseless guess. To put it bluntly, this is still a risk."
Others nodded in agreement. Compared with Wang Dalin’s radical approach, they appreciated Xiao Lin’s steady and conservative. Xiao Lin’s choice was based on the premise that his side was discovered. Under such circumstances, they entered the canyon. Avoiding the wolf cavalry chase is the best choice.
Xiao Lin glanced at Gu Xiaoyue for a while. This girl was also looking at him with frowning, but her eyes were not so good. Xiao Lin smiled sadly. He must admit that Gu Xiaoyue's life span made him like a throat, and there was no way to approve of adventure and success. Although it is good, you can complete optional tasks to get extra rewards, but if it fails, this girl has only 2 years of life left!
The talking man patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder, and said, "My name is Lu Renyi, and I am taking a course in the direction of bow and arrow. Just talk about it if you need it, class, class leader."
The man is in his thirties and he is quite strong. It seems a little embarrassed to call the monitor. Xiao Lin doesn't mind: "Call me by name, Lu Renyi? If I remember correctly, your basics Archery has reached LV2, right."
"Yes, I got a big knife at random in the entrance test. I rushed out and killed a few zombies and was killed." Lu Renyi nagged with regret: "Later, I learned from it and felt that close combat was too dangerous. It’s easy to die, so I took the bow and arrow course."
It turned out to be afraid of death, but Xiao Lin was dumbfounded. The number of people taking bow and arrow courses is far fewer than those in spells and melee classes. Xiao Lin occasionally uses his squad leader’s authority to view other people’s skill information. Those few people who chose to take bows and arrows inside paid special attention.
Xiao Lin’s explanation temporarily stabilized everyone’s irritability. After a short rest, the team moved forward again. If Xiao Lin’s map was not marked wrong, they would still have about half a day to reach the suspected supply. The location of the station.
"This road seems to be far from the agreed meeting place." Lu Renyi said suddenly. He also had a hurriedly hand-painted map, which was very vague, but he still vaguely felt it. But I don't have any other ideas, I just asked them out of curiosity.
"According to what Squad Leader Xiao just speculated, as long as those people are found, there is no possibility of retreating on the plain. There is no need to gather, let's just go our own!" Another girl helped Xiao Lin Answer ~IndoMTL.com~That's right, anyway, you can survive this mission! "Lu Renyi didn't think too much, or that the people who followed Xiao Lin all made survival as the ultimate goal of this exam.
Gu Xiaoyue cast a strange look at him again, but did not speak, Xiao Lin smiled wryly, I am afraid that his careful thoughts can't help this girl.
Gu Xiaoyue opposed the establishment of a meeting point, while Xiao Lin insisted on doing so, but the two people actually considered the same direction. They didn’t think that Wang Dalin’s group could really detect intelligence or even under the eyes of the enemy. Leave safely.
But the conversation between Xiao Lin and Song Junlang the day before the exam made him think more about them. They are the invaders of this world. If the exam is almost a 100% simulation, then it is not just the environment that is restored. , Their enemies may only be NPCs, but at least they are also very intelligent high-level NPCs.
The Thunder Kingdom they are going to face this time also belongs to the human kingdom. They are not zombies without IQ and reason. When the enemy catches a group of unidentified invaders, will they really be killed on the spot? Xiao Lin put himself in and thought about it. If he was the commander of an army and caught the intruder's spy or scout, he would definitely give priority to finding ways to dig out the other party's intelligence and intentions.
As for the method of obtaining information, torture is still to use special spells. The method is not important. Anyway, Xiao Lin doesn't think that once Wang Dalin and those people are caught, they have the spirit of preferring death to surrender. When Wang Dalin decided to take the initiative to conduct investigations, it almost meant that their group would be 100% exposed.
Xiao Lin agreed to set up a meeting point, not to fool Wang Dalin and the others, but to deliberately pass this information through the captured students to the commander of the enemy's garrison! ) Book friends hurry up and pay attention!
