Chapter 393 Leading the Army into Battle
Orcs have skin that is far stronger than humans, so the bamboo spike trap may not work on all leopards.
Therefore, if Huangfu Zique's plan goes wrong, they may all perish on the front lines.
He couldn't let Ahuang and Mu Yunya take this risk. Anyway, if they followed Zique's plan, it wouldn't matter whether they went or not.
Long Yuan's prediction was indeed correct.
The people of the Beast Tribe did not go down into the pit this time.
The paths on both sides of the circular pit were very difficult to traverse, so if the Leopard Head Army wanted to reach the Beast Tribe but did not want to take a long detour, they had no choice but to go through the pit.
The leopard army was still wondering, even though they had fought around the pit just a few days ago.
However, the initial battle took place quite a distance from here.
They fought for a whole morning before the people of the Hundred Beasts Tribe were forced back to this area.
How did we manage to arrive here so easily today?
They discovered that the people of the Hundred Beasts Tribe were all standing on the opposite bank of the circular pit, and they showed no intention of stopping them from crossing it.
The Leopard Head Army all assumed that the enemy had been so frightened by them that they no longer had the courage to stop them.
They didn't even dare to stray too far from the tribe's front line, waiting to escape back to their tribe if they realized they couldn't win.
Hmph! The outcome is already decided; there's no way they can escape now.
These rebellious creatures of the Beast Tribe must not be allowed to live.
Although it's unclear why there's so much withered grass piled up in the pit today, it doesn't diminish the leopard army's ambition to wreak havoc and dominate the forest.
"Warriors, did you see that? Before the battle even started, those cowards on the other side were already so scared that they didn't dare to fight anymore!"
Everyone, follow me and charge in to kill them all.
Surrendering won't help.
Only when these rebellious bastards are all dead can peace be restored to the Taihe Forest!
A powerfully built leopard-man raised his stone knife, shouted, and leaped into the pit.
Countless people rushed in after them, some of whom were so agile that they could leap several meters in one bound.
Long Yuan smiled and let those people leap into the pit like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Those who charged at the forefront were naturally among the strongest members of the leopard clan.
According to Huangfu Zique's meticulous statistics, the leopard clan has approximately seven hundred of the most valiant and skilled warriors.
If we could use the big pit to take down all 700-plus people, that would be wonderful.
However, it seems not so easy, because only a hundred or so people can be lowered into the pit at the same time.
When the second group of people jumped in, the pit was filled with cries of agony.
The third wave of people who wanted to jump had already started to retreat, and no one dared to take another step forward.
So in the end, only a little over two hundred people jumped.
"what……"
"what?"
"Damn it, something's fishy!"
In an instant, screams, roars, and curses mingled together.
Some had their feet pierced, some had their throats punctured when they fell, and some had their hearts pierced in their chests...
Blood was spraying everywhere!
The leopard clan leader immediately stopped the rear guard from advancing. Seeing people constantly dying from bamboo spikes below, he was instantly enraged.
The tiger-headed leader stared menacingly at the other side of the pit, who was silently observing everything.
mean!
They actually resorted to dirty tricks!
However, those who were killed by bamboo splinters were only those with weak constitutions, numbering only twenty or thirty.
As the vanguard force that took the lead, achieving this level of results is already quite impressive.
As for the other two hundred or so people, they were at most just pricked.
Even worse, some people don't even have any superficial injuries.
A dozen or so of the most valiant-looking leopard tribesmen charged forward furiously, using their weapons to destroy the bamboo spikes and clear a path.
They were determined to fight and kill those shameless bastards, leaving not a single one alive.
They will also strike at the lair of the beast tribes. This war, which has lasted for thousands of years, is finally coming to an end today.
They weren't afraid at all that the Beast Tribe might have any tricks up their sleeve.
Today, the Leopard Clan has mobilized all its warriors who are capable of fighting.
The bear clan will soon come to help. The two clans have already discussed that they will continue to share the forest equally and share the sacred tree.
As the dozen or so Leopard Head Army soldiers, who looked to be generals, were about to cross the pit, Long Yuan stretched out his long arm, revealing a wooden spear that he had personally crafted, radiating a chilling aura.
This is the toughest type of wood in the Beast Tribe, so tough that even a dagger would have difficulty cutting through it, and its lethality is second only to bronze and stone knives.
The stone knives here are not ordinary stones; they are as hard as diamonds, but their only drawback is that they are too heavy.
Compared to swords, Long Yuan preferred playing with wooden spears. The Long family's spear technique would have been considered a high-level martial art in ancient times.
With his eagle eyes locked onto the most muscular man in the enemy ranks, he didn't hesitate, raised his gun, and leaped down.
More than twenty warriors of different races followed closely behind.
Having experienced the battle a few days ago, they were confident that they could cooperate with the Dragon Warriors to take down the dozen or so enemy leaders.
Huangfu Zique was not in Longyuan at the moment; he was waiting in a dense forest with a hundred warriors.
"Just follow my instructions." Fearing they might disobey, he reminded them again.
The hundred warriors held not weapons in their hands, but a sapling they had uprooted.
If a tree that's five meters long can be called a sapling...
Huangfu Zique hadn't expected these people to be so strong; no wonder two rat-men could easily kill a fully grown tiger.
He underestimated them.
"Strategist, this won't kill anyone," an orc, unaware of the specifics of the plan, said disdainfully, patting the tree branch in his hand.
"Who gave you permission to hit people with it? After I give the order, sweep the ground up and kick all the dust into the air." After saying this, Huangfu Zique nimbly climbed up a thick tree.
The orcs looked at each other, wondering what kind of tactic this was.
While a fierce battle was raging ahead, they were assigned to sweep the floor here.
What are you doing?
Huangfu Zique was surprisingly confident in his arrangement.
One of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is "Flowers Bloom on a Tree," which is perfectly suited to this situation.
I refuse to believe I can't fool those leopards.
On the very night he became the strategist, he had already sent scouts to the Bear Clan to gather information, so there was no need to investigate the Leopard Clan at all.
These orcs are all incredibly naive.
Including the bear clan.
The bears are a little smarter; they know the principle of "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
But that's all the smartness he has.
Two days ago, Huangfu Zique received news that the Leopard Clan, after suffering a defeat, wanted to join forces with the Bear Clan.
The bear tribe readily agreed, seemingly feeling exhausted from continuing the fight and preferring to join forces to eliminate the Hundred Beasts Tribe as soon as possible.
Interestingly, as soon as the leopard tribe left, the bear tribe leader told his men, "Let the leopard tribe fight for a morning first."
Let them both exhaust each other first, then we'll set off this afternoon!
I've long disliked that bastard Leopard Prisoner.
This time, we'll try to take down the Leopard Clan as well.
The Taihe Forest can only have one ruler, and that is me, Bear Overlord!
Upon receiving this news, Huangfu Zique immediately gave Xiong Ba a thumbs up.
Well done. They said they would arrive at the battlefield around 10 a.m., but they chose to send out troops in the afternoon.
