Since the geomancy formation is difficult to depict, it's temporarily impossible to assemble a magic army with both offense and defense capabilities. Yang Ling concentrated his energy on sweeping through the Ladak mountain range. After preparing to obtain a large number of laborers and crystal coins to develop Visen Town, he would slowly and carefully study it later.
With the guidance of the familiar terrain by the earth spirit, there was no need to disguise themselves as a merchant group and wait for an ambush. Yang Ling led his army directly towards the nearby indigenous tribe.
After some initial training and weeding out the weaklings, the goblin army looked somewhat organized. Although they couldn't compare to the elite barbarians and elven archers, at least they were much better than before and wouldn't rush into a mess when encountering something.
"Sir, the cannibal tribe is just ahead!" After passing through a patch of low shrubs, the goblin elder hesitated, "The cannibals have thick skin and flesh, with boundless strength. Are you certain you want to attack their lair?"
Although he knew that Yang Ling was very powerful, the Earth Spirit elder still worried about the terrifying Food People. The Food People were born cruel and violent, a notorious tribe in the area, and unless absolutely necessary, he would not dare to fight against such a powerful race.
"Haha, don't worry, the cannibals are no match for my mighty beast army!" As they approached the Barbarian tribe, Yang Ling noticed that the dwarves were getting increasingly tense, so he summoned his unicorn to boost their morale.
Although the combat power of the earth spirit is insufficient, it has a large number and can instantly cast magic with several magicians. With proper command, it is also a good force. At worst, it can attract the enemy's energy.
Getting the greatest benefit at the least cost is the true royal way!
Although he had the confidence to command the demon beast army to kill all the way, Yang Ling did not want to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred himself. Using the earth essence and guards to attract the enemy's energy was a good idea. Then summoning the demon beast army to launch a surprise attack would be the best plan. Of course, if he could command the demon beast army to set up an ambush and lure the enemy into the encirclement to annihilate them, that would be even more ideal.
A lightning-fast blitzkrieg is the best choice for a sneak attack!
He absolutely did not want to engage in a war of attrition with powerful enemies, every single demon beast had cost him a lot of effort, and he absolutely could not afford to have any casualties. Although low-level demon beasts like the Evil Eye and the Hornet Beast could be tamed and replenished in the Tristram Forest, wanting to evolve from first-rate to third-rate, or even higher, was absolutely not an easy task.
In addition, in the face of absolute power, both numbers and plots will be utterly meaningless!
Yang Ling hopes that after Weisen Town is on the right track, he will go all out to tame high-level magic beasts. Like horned wasps, evil eyes and spiders and other low-level magic beasts. With more than 2,000 of each, it's already enough, next we need more than 2,000 powerful soldiers like the Ku Mu warriors. Of course, if we can have more than 2,000 high-level magic beasts like the unicorn, that would be even more perfect.
Ogres are a relatively stupid species, with immense strength but limited intelligence. They can give birth to tigers and leopards, but often have no way to deal with the hair worms that parasitize on their bodies, and in order to get rid of the grain-sized hair worms on their backs, they often rely on grinding against hard rocks until they are covered in blood.
They like to eat the raw flesh of monsters or humans, and enjoy swallowing the fresh brains of their prey, bloody and cruel. To a certain extent, it can even be said that they are a kind of humanoid monster. In the vicinity of their habitat, not to mention weak races such as goblins, even large ferocious beasts are scarce.
Unlike the secretive lair of the earth spirit, the den of the man-eating demons consisted of a series of massive caves with open and flat terrain. Except for a few inattentive sentries, most of them hid inside the caves to avoid the cold wind.
Perhaps it was because of their formidable fighting strength that no one dared to provoke them, or perhaps it was due to the cold weather that they had relaxed their vigilance. The barbarian tribes were basically unguarded and unaware of the impending disaster.
After quietly taking out a few patrolling ghouls, Yang Ling led the army to hide on a small hill opposite the ghoul tribe, using low shrubs for cover. This place was not far from the opponent's cave, and the entrance was just within the range of the evil eye. As long as they could withstand the enemy's strong attack, he believed that no ghoul would be able to escape his grasp.
According to the goblin's reflection, this cannibal tribe has more than 500 people. Fortunately, maybe we can catch two or three hundred cannibals as laborers, with their height of over three meters and abundant physical strength, they are absolutely the best candidates for mining and logging.
As the most formidable close combat troops at present, the withered wood warriors transform into a cluster of shrubs standing in the front, their lush branches blocking the dense and numerous evil eyes behind. Next to the evil eyes are the powerful barbarians and the agile elf archers, whose most important task is to guard and defend the weak evil eye army together with the withered wood warriors.
As the best troops for an ambush, the spider army went down on both sides of the mountain slope, responsible for surrounding the rushing cannibals from the side and alleviating the pressure on the withered warriors, barbarians and elf archers.
The horned beast and the stone statue ghost are extremely fast, with sharp attacks. Their main task is not to attack the incoming cannibal demons, but to wait until the opponent's elite troops have rushed over, then launch a lightning-fast sneak attack on the opponent's cave, preventing them from retreating into the cave to defend themselves.
******
As for the tense and powerful Dark Elf army, they served as bait, responsible for luring over a large group of man-eating demons. Yang Ling did not expect them to kill many man-eating demons; as long as they could smoothly lure over the enemy's elite forces, they would have basically completed their mission.
After making preparations, Yang Ling looked at the tense goblins and then at the elder goblin who was trying to appear calm. He thought for a moment before ordering a group of horned beasts to hide on them. Give them some courage and confidence, also prevent them from suffering heavy losses all at once. After all, they still need these goblins to study magic arrays in the future. Losing one or two is no big deal, but if they suffer heavy losses all at once, it won't be worth it.
"Elder, go! I'll dispatch a team of horned beast guards to secretly protect you. Just lure the enemy's elite over and don't engage in a prolonged battle!"
"Thank you, sir! Our Jinyi tribe will never disappoint you!"
Although they were nervous, looking at the cornered beasts hidden among their tribesmen, the earth spirits who had experienced their ferocity felt more at ease. Moreover, this time's task was just to lure the man-eating demons over, and they didn't need to fight them to the death.
After bowing to Yang Ling, the earth spirit elder gritted his teeth and led his tribe down the small hillside, shouting as they charged towards the nearby cave of the man-eating demons. Soon, they attracted the attention of the man-eating demons patrolling near the entrance of the cave.
"Yibi Lisi, a group of goblins? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"These guys must be starving to death, actually thinking of attacking our cannibal tribe, seeking death!"
"Heh heh, I wasn't full yet from eating earlier. These guys who don't know when to die have arrived just in time. Ybilis, how long has it been since you've had fresh brain juice?"
Looking at the rushing earth spirit, the touring cannibal demons were extremely surprised. In the Ladakh Mountains, the earth spirit was a synonym for waste, and usually a large group of people would have to avoid a lone wind wolf from afar. They never thought that these normally timid guys would dare to attack their own tribe.
The heavens are cold and the earth is frozen; it seems that the goblins have been starved to the point of having nowhere to go!
Looking at the body that was not even as thick as their own arm, the man-eating demons shook their heads disdainfully, completely unaware of the horned beast hidden on the goblin's body. In their opinion, the goblins were simply coming to send themselves to death, and they estimated that the other side had no more food left, and could not survive anyway.
Although their legs were short and small, with the help of a small hill slope, they ran at full speed, and soon rushed to the face of the touring man-eating demons.
Just as the cannibals were about to have a big meal, something unexpected happened!
Without any warning, the cannibals would often raise their thick wooden clubs only to be suddenly shaken all over and then attacked wildly by the goblins.
"Quickly, smash their occipital bone, quickly!"
Seeing the opponent's carelessness, he was stung by the poisonous horn of the Angle Beast, his whole body numb and powerless. The Earth Spirit Elder was overjoyed and ordered everyone to launch a crazy attack. Wooden sticks, stones, fireballs... they used all their strength.
The flesh of the cannibal demons is thick and rough, but the back of their heads are relatively weak spots. As long as you kill these roaming guys and lure out the enemy's elite troops, it's equivalent to completing the task.
As expected, after knocking down a few patrolling ghouls, the cave quickly spawned a bunch of ferocious guys, who charged over with killing intent. They hadn't even arrived yet, but they were already crazily howling, causing the earth spirits to tremble all over.
The goblin elder saw the opportunity and acted, successfully attracting the attention of the enemy. He quickly ordered his men to retreat under the cover of the horned beast, swiftly withdrawing in the direction of a small hill. The man-eating demon was truly too terrifying; if they had hesitated for even a moment, they might have been completely annihilated.
Each of the horned beasts can launch three poisonous stingers per day, under their cover, the goblins retreated quickly and safely. Under the raging fire, the dull-witted ogre didn't notice anything out of place for a while.
Being killed by a group of lowly goblins right at my doorstep is simply a great humiliation!
Looking at the goblins who were no taller than their knees, the ogres were furious and shouted loudly. Helplessly rushing to the back of the goblins, they often felt a numbness all over their body as soon as they raised their wooden sticks, and the more they ran, the slower they became.
The cannibals were shocked and thought that the earth spirits had some evil magic, but Yang Ling on the mountain slope was even more shocked!
Ordinary people would be completely paralyzed after being stung by the poisonous spines of the Angle Worm Beast, and even the strongest barbarians were no exception. Unexpectedly, these cannibal demons not only didn't fall down but could also quickly chase over, worthy of being thick-skinned and meaty human-shaped demons.
Kulí, absolutely top-notch coolie!
After the unexpected event, looking at the increasingly approaching large group of man-eating demons, Yang Ling's heart moved, preparing to capture all the man-eating demons alive. Weisen Town needs logging, mining, and even large-scale road construction, it really needs man-eating demons with thick skin, strong flesh, and infinite strength as laborers.
