Even when the sun set and dusk fell, no suspicious creature was seen coming out of the cave.

To be honest, he was getting a little sleepy from waiting.

Fortunately, when the sun completely set and night fell, light appeared in the cave, followed by flickering light and shadows.

"Here it comes!" Luo Ning reminded in a low voice.

Everyone's nerves were tense. After waiting for half a day, they finally saw the enemy.

Soon, a team came out of the cave.

The last time, Redal saw only three people, but this time the number increased three times, a total of twelve people.

It should be because the last time Redar led his men intruding here, the other party became more vigilant, which is why the number of patrols was increased.

Under the moonlight, this group of people formed four teams of three, and then began patrolling in the four directions of front, back, left and right.

One of the groups was facing the direction where Roning and others were.

According to the information provided by Redar and others, this group of guys had a particularly sensitive sense of smell. They had already hidden themselves in advance that night, but their whereabouts were exposed because of the smell.

Luo Ning sensed that the wind blowing in the forest was from the southwest, which would not blow their breath into the valley below the hillside.

Moreover, there was still a distance of one or two hundred meters between them and him. Even if the other party's sense of smell was as sensitive as a dog, the possibility of being able to smell their scent should be very low.

Roning's worries seemed a bit unnecessary.

These patrolmen had no intention of going up the hillside; they just patrolled back and forth around the bottom of the valley.

If the flat land at the bottom of the valley is regarded as a rectangle, then the four teams are moving back and forth on the four sides of the rectangle.

They looked like they were guarding the border, preventing anyone or anything from outside from entering the valley.

"Their alert area is so small?"

Both Rydar and McKen had a look of doubt.

If they were responsible for the defense here, they would definitely set up a guard post on the hillside and arrange personnel to stand guard.

There is no need for twelve people in this bare and flat valley below. Three or four will be enough.

Time passed slowly, half an hour, an hour...

Roning watched this group of people moving back and forth. They were like the monsters set in the game, just moving back and forth along the predetermined route.

Everyone's mentality changed from nervousness at the beginning to confusion, and even felt a little bored in the end.

"Sir, what are we going to do?" asked Redal in a low voice.

When they came, they had already made a plan on how to deal with conflicts in the event of one, but they did not expect the current situation where everyone was not interfering with each other.

"First observe and understand their habits, and then see if there is a chance to take one away alone without making too much noise."

This observation lasted for three days.

Through intelligence gathering during this period, Luo Ning and others confirmed two things.

The first thing is that people in the cave will not come out during the day.

Every day when the sun rises, the patrollers return to the cave; when night falls, they come out of the cave.

They repeat the same thing every night, just like programmed robots, never tired or bored.

Luo Ning was a little confused. Don't these people have to worry about food and drink? Is there enough water and food in the cave?

As for the second thing, based on the information obtained from the battle that night by Redar and the comparison of the opponent's clothing observed in the past two days, a rough estimate of the strength of this group of people was made.

This patrol team of twelve people should be led by a bronze-level knight, with two senior knights, and the rest are probably junior and intermediate knights. Their overall strength is not strong.

It's another night.

"There is no need for us to continue observing."

This group of people in the cave cannot think with common sense. Continuing to observe is just a waste of time and no more valuable information can be collected.

When everyone heard the lord say this, they were shocked and were finally ready to take action!

"Everyone needs to collect enough dry firewood tomorrow morning. At noon, take a break to restore your strength and spirit. In the afternoon, we will bring the dry firewood to the cave and light a fire for them."

"My Lord, do you want to use fire to force them out?"

“That’s a good idea!”

"They are in a sealed cave. If they are smoked, they will not be able to get out!"

Some people were confused, but some people already understood Roning's intention.

"I have been thinking about one question these past two days: Why don't they come out of the cave during the day?"

Roning asked himself and answered his own questions.

"After thinking about it, I came up with a possibility, that is, they don't like daytime, or in other words, they hate sunlight."

There are few records of creatures that are afraid of sunlight in this world, but Roning had seen quite a few in books before he traveled through time.

For example, the vampires in many movies and TV shows are very afraid of sunlight, and some will even turn into ashes once exposed to sunlight.

On Earth, these things are fictional, but in this world where supernatural powers exist, it is very likely that such creatures that fear sunlight will appear, right? "Since they don't want to come out, we will force them to come out."

If the other person can smell the odor, it means they need to breathe.

When Luo Ning sent the smoke into the sealed cave, it would be like using smoke to smoke out a vole hole in the field. The people inside would not be able to bear it and would definitely try to rush out.

As long as he rushed out and came under the sunlight, Roning would be able to gain the advantage of terrain.

To put it another way, even if the other party is not afraid of the sunlight, Roning still needs to lure them out of the cave before dealing with them.

After all, this cave is someone else's territory, and there might be traps or mechanisms inside.

Knowing all the dangers, if Roning did not consider the opponent's geographical advantages and rashly rushed in with his men, it would be tantamount to walking into a trap and becoming a sheep among wolves.

He doesn't want to learn from Wiggins on the battlefield.

Next, Roning discussed tomorrow's attack plan with his subordinates. It was not until midnight that everyone went to sleep in their respective caves, leaving Tom and others to take turns to keep watch.

As the early morning passed, familiar words emerged.

"April has passed, and today is already May 1st."

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, eight days have passed since he left Black Earth Town. It is time to sound the clarion call for attack.

He also wanted to see what unusual things were hidden in the cave.

Luo Ning added all the attribute points to himself, then slowly closed his eyes and took a good rest.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, everyone started collecting firewood in the mountains and forests.

One bundle, two bundles, three bundles...

Luo Ning even collected a huge pile of them in his space ring.

The knights were very strong and each of them could carry several bundles of firewood. Since those guys didn't come out during the day, they directly moved all the firewood they collected to the flat ground at the entrance of the valley.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was afternoon.

Luo Ning stood up and looked at the quiet cave entrance, "It's time to attack!" (End of this chapter)
