Eleven days have passed since the last time the lizard men attacked the small village of Nisei.
In the past eleven days, not a single lizard man has appeared near the small village of Nisei.
A peaceful scene!
The villagers neither dared to leave the city wall and reached outside the village, nor did they need to go out.
Every villager has enough rye at home, and the grocery store sells both sweet powder and briquettes. Recently, snow salt has also been added as a luxury item.
Domestic water can be boiled directly from the snow on the ground, which is natural and pollution-free!
Therefore, no traces of the lizard men were found again during this period. The villagers and wild slaves were in a relatively happy mood, thinking that they could sit back and relax!
However, in the earthen house, William's expression became more and more solemn.
The magic mirror was placed in front of him.
After so many lizardmen died, the magic mirror has really gained weight.
This gave William the confidence to use the magic mirror to detect intelligence.
At this time, the magic mirror showed the situation in the dark forest: a group of lizardmen with scars on their bodies and no fighting spirit met another group of larger lizardmen. At this time, they were dancing and communicating,
From time to time, they use their sharp claws to point in a certain direction.
William knew that this direction was exactly the direction of his village.
And this group of scarred and hopeless lizardmen were the remnants of the group of lizardmen he had defeated before.
With William's magic mirror in hand, he has always been very aware of the movements of the remnants of the lizardmen.
They spread out and hovered in the nearby dark forest.
Although they did not dare to come out of the forest to face William's team, they never stayed away.
They were in the nearby forest, gnawing on tree bark, hunting wild animals everywhere, and when they were extremely hungry, they even ate their own people.
William saw that it was not a problem that they were always hovering nearby. After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative and enter the dark forest alone to hunt down the remaining lizardmen.
In a battle involving thousands of people, William was severely restricted.
But in assassination, especially when William has a treasure like the magic mirror, he is invincible.
After William entered the dark forest, he quickly killed a group of remaining lizardmen with the magic mirror's detection ability.
But within a few days, the lizardmen came to their senses, thinking about moving deeper into the forest, and spread out to dodge.
William's efficiency suddenly dropped.
Especially since the terrain in the forest is complex, William has to use the magic mirror to detect the whereabouts of the lizard men every time, but he can only find two or three each time. The cost-effectiveness of using the magic mirror is too low.
William was afraid that the energy of the magic mirror would be exhausted before all the remaining lizardmen were killed.
So I had to exit the dark forest.
But he still closely monitors the dynamics of the nearby forest.
It was not until this period that William discovered the remnants of these lizardmen and finally came into contact with other lizardmen tribes.
The number of people in this lizard-men tribe is much larger than that of the lizard-men tribe that attacked William. The entire tribe has more than 3,000 members!
The whole tribe of lizardmen is a soldier, which means that this tribe has more than 3,000 soldiers.
This is a scary statistic.
Seeing the two groups of lizardmen dancing and looking in his direction from time to time, William knew that these groups of lizardmen knew about the existence of his village and regarded them as dinner.
William could even see the greedy look in the eyes of the new leader of the lizard tribe in the magic mirror.
This is not a good sign.
During this time, use the magic mirror to observe the movements in the dark forest.
William gradually figured out the situation in Shadow Swamp.
There are hundreds of thousands of lizardfolk living in the Shadowmarsh.
The swamp is rich in natural resources. Normally, just one swamp is enough to meet the lizard people's survival needs.
In addition, lizardmen like moisture and darkness by nature, so they rarely wander into dark forests.
But it changes when it snows in winter.
Snowflakes were falling, and the low temperature froze the water in the swamp.
A large part of the lizard people's survival resources come from the aquatic resources of the swamp.
As soon as the water surface is frozen, the lizard people's survival pressure appears.
Therefore, every winter, the lizardmen have to gather in groups and rush in all directions outside the swamp.
It’s just for one bite.
But there are things to pay attention to in which direction you rush!
William's side was deserted before. For the lizard people, this was a barren land for food.
As for other areas, the area close to the Kingdom of Golden Rose is relatively densely populated. For the lizard people, this is a sacred place.
In the animal kingdom, the strong animals enjoy everything, while the weak can only eat scraps.
There is no doubt that the lizard man tribe that attacked William before is a weak one among all the lizard men.
But now this weak man has met a strong man who is stronger than him.
This is what will give William a headache.
Is it still the same as before, relying on the city wall and guarding the goal to counterattack?
As soon as this idea came to William's mind, he was immediately rejected!
The attack power and coverage of three thousand people are not comparable to the attack power and coverage of one thousand people.
If one point is breached, the entire line will collapse, and the small village of Nisei will immediately overturn.
By then, William and the guard team leader may be able to escape, but everyone else will probably be buried in the belly of the lizard man.
The territory that he had worked so hard and spent so much effort to establish was destroyed like this. This is something William cannot accept at any cost!
What should we do? William thought to himself.
You can't sit still and wait for death! Then take the initiative! This idea suddenly flashed in William's mind.
He remembered Taizu's guerrilla policy: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!
Although it cannot be completely applied to my own situation, for example, his base camp is here and there is no way to retreat!
But he has a magic mirror, and he can predict the future and know the lizard people's movements in advance, which gives William a lot of room for maneuver.
When fighting guerrillas in the dark forest, it is impossible to push all the escort members and servants up like in the previous life.
Compared with the lizard people who have been living in the wild, if William really did this, he would not be fighting guerrillas.
Instead, he went to give away his head!
But William was able to form an elite team and use the best equipment to continuously harass the lizard people and fight guerrillas.
Just like the special forces in previous lives.
In this world, knights with superhuman physiques can be used like this.
And William has exactly such a team at his disposal!
Especially those surviving members of the convoy who had performed meritorious services and were rewarded with folk remedies by William.
