The scarecrow did not waste his clever mind and used every opportunity to provoke the wolf and the tengu on his back.
The alpha wolf looked ugly, his eyelids rolled up, and he fiercely warned the Tengu overseer riding on his back.
"Stupid bird! If you dare to interrupt again, I will throw you down and bite your throat out!"
In the pairing of Tengu and Warg, the real superior is the Warg with Tengu riding on his crotch.
The tengu was so frightened by the warning from the alpha wolf that he closed his mouth and did not dare to imitate the other person's tone of voice.
However, his silence could not last long.
"Why should a strong and intelligent beast like you be a mount for a wretched Tengu who can only parrot words?"
The question raised by the Scarecrow made the Alpha Wolf look embarrassed.
What made him even more embarrassed was that the tengu riding on his back could not control his beak and imitated and tampered with the scarecrow's questions.
"Why can't such a wretched beast that can only parrot words be used as a mount for the strong and smart Tengu?"
"Ouch~ Noisy stupid bird, I've had enough of you!"
The alpha wolf couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly shook his shoulders, threw the tengu from his back, and pounced on him with red eyes, biting his neck.
"quack……"
At the last moment of his life, the tengu could only scream in vain like a crow, and in the blink of an eye his throat was bitten by the mad alpha wolf.
The other tengu were so frightened by this bloody scene that they had to guard their mouths and remain silent.
"Great! I like this feeling of clean ears!"
The alpha wolf, whose fangs were stained red with blood, turned to stare at the mine where Gao Fei and others were hiding, grinning ferociously, and his eyes looked particularly sinister.
"Dwarfs, listen to me!"
"Before the first vulture comes down to peck at the carcass of this stupid bird, you must arrest all the strangers hiding in the mines and escort them out!"
"Otherwise I will light a pyre at the entrance of the mine, choke all you little fools to death, and bury them with the outsiders who dare to offend Lord Theodora!"
"This evil wolf is really cunning." Ma Yun said bitterly, "He even tried to sow discord between us and the dwarf."
"Miss Mage, I swear on behalf of my people that I will never do anything to repay kindness with enmity!"
Gas patted his chest with a solemn look on his face.
"Don't worry, the evil wolf's vicious plan will not succeed!"
"There is a secret exit in the mine. Before the Tengu lights the firewood pile and pours the choking smoke in, I can take you out of the mine and fly far away!"
"It's certainly good to have a way out, but Mr. Gas, what are you and your people going to do next?"
Jiang Feng looked at the dwarfs and asked softly:
"Are you going to escape the mine together too?"
Gas shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Of course I want to leave, but where can I escape? Besides, my wife is still in the town. I can't leave her and the child in her belly and escape alone."
"Escape is not an option. We have to deal with the group of evil wolves and tengu outside."
Gao Fei turned his head and looked out of the mine.
Under the command of the alpha wolf, the tengu were piling dry firewood at the entrance of the cave and preparing to light it.
Gufu
There were a dozen wargs on the opposite side, and even more tengu.
It's not impossible to just rush out and fight hard, but it's very likely to cause casualties.
If a member of the protagonist group dies, you have to load the file and start over.
The death of NPCs led by Gas may also affect the subsequent plot development.
In order to avoid casualties as much as possible, Gao Fei felt it was necessary to take a detour and asked Gas: "How far is the secret exit you mentioned just now from here?"
"It's not too far. Run faster. We'll be there in six or seven minutes."
Was replied.
Gao Fei stared at the dwarf's short legs. Calculating his own running speed, it shouldn't take him more than five minutes.
"Where is the approximate location of the exit? Will Tengu and Wargs discover it?" Gao Fei continued to inquire.
"The exit of the secret passage is an abandoned mine, just opposite, right behind the Warg and Tengu overseers."
The gas points out of the cave.
"There are occasionally tengu supervisors patrolling near the exit. Now most of the supervisors are attracted here, so no one should pay attention to what's going on there."
"Brother Fei, do you plan to sneak around behind the enemy and make a surprise attack?" Ma Yun asked.
Gao Fei smiled and nodded.
"This is a good idea, but we can't all participate in the raid. At least one person must be left here." Tin Woodman Nick said thoughtfully.
"Why do you have to leave one person behind?"
the lion asked inexplicably.
The Tin Woodman first looked back at the dwarfs, then looked outside the cave, and answered unhurriedly:
"If we all withdraw, it may arouse the vigilance of the group of guys outside the cave, so it is necessary to leave one person here to scold the enemy from time to time, so that they will mistakenly think that we are all staying here."
"So that's it!" the lion said sincerely, "Brother Nick, although you have a cold and iron face, your emotional intelligence is quite advanced!"
"My friend, Nick may have thought more carefully than you think."
As soon as the Scarecrow interjected a sentence, he was interrupted by the displeased look in the Tin Woodman's eyes. He shrugged and closed his mouth knowingly.
Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Ma Yun exchanged glances with each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Although Nick often tells bad jokes and makes sharp comments, his emotional intelligence is indeed high.
He said that he wanted to leave at least one companion here. In addition to the obvious reason of attracting enemies outside the cave, there was also a more important but inconvenient factor to explain, which was to appease the dwarf workers, including Gas.
If everyone leaves through the secret passage, from the perspective of the dwarf workers, it is inevitable to suspect that the so-called "detour raid" is just a beautiful excuse, but in fact they are trying to escape, leaving them to face the wrath of the wargs and tengu alone.
Leaving a companion behind and gaining the trust of the dwarf laborers is actually a bit like a "hostage".
"So, who are we going to keep?" asked the lion.
"How about we draw lots?" The scarecrow pulled out six straws from himself, "This is the fairest way."
"The pile of firewood is lit outside, so there's no time to draw lots! Dimitri, you stay!" Ma Yun directly called the names.
"Huh? Why me?" The lion looked confused.
"The most important thing about a roundabout raid behind enemy lines is the first wave of attacks. You are the only member of the team who lacks long-range attack means and are not suitable for participating in raids."
"In addition, you have the loudest voice among all the people, and your roar can be clearly transmitted outside the cave. It is best to stay here to lure the enemy."
"The last and most important reason, Dimitri, haven't you noticed that your body is too big for the tunnel? I didn't prepare the 'shrinking technique' today, just in case you get stuck in the narrow tunnel and can't move.
