Just as Chen Feng was leading his well-trained and well-equipped reconnaissance squad, carefully carrying out patrol and reconnaissance missions around the camp, Si Yuniang, who was in command far behind, decisively issued an important order.
She ordered the entire battalion to act swiftly, focusing their attention on a relatively low but strategically important hill not far away, and to use it as a key stronghold to carry out a series of intense and orderly engineering operations—building sturdy and practical defensive fortifications.
Upon receiving the order, all soldiers immediately demonstrated a high degree of discipline and execution.
Like busy worker ants, they methodically devoted themselves to their respective tasks.
Some soldiers skillfully wielded shovels and picks, diligently digging trenches; others carried heavy timber and stone on their shoulders, hurrying between construction sites; and some skilled civil engineers were meticulously designing and building watchtowers and bunkers.
At the same time, Si Yuniang was not satisfied with relying solely on this small mountain stronghold to ensure the safety of the entire camp.
After careful consideration, she dispatched some elite troops to occupy two other, slightly smaller hills nearby.
Although these hills are not large in scale, they can form a strategic triangle with the main stronghold, supporting each other and thus further expanding the defensive range, making the newly built stronghold more stable and reliable.
Si Yuniang stared intently into the distance, pondering to herself: This large-scale operation launched by the human race is definitely not just a small-scale skirmish!
Judging from the current situation, the human race is very likely to choose to build several large-scale strongholds in the Little Wolf Mountain area.
After careful consideration, Si Yuniang keenly realized that if the human race were to do this, then advancing approximately 150 miles and establishing some new forward outposts would be a highly probable strategic decision.
With this in mind, she made a quick decision to start building the prototype of the stronghold here ahead of schedule.
Si Yuniang knew that once this stronghold was initially established, it would be like a nail deeply embedded in the enemy's formation, and its role would not be underestimated.
If her battalion can successfully establish a foothold here, it will inevitably attract the attention and vigilance of many werewolf units in the surrounding area.
In this way, their attention will be firmly drawn to this objective, while other human forces nearby can take this opportunity to advance undetected towards their intended targets, creating more favorable conditions for the overall human operation and making this military operation progress more smoothly.
Chen Feng led a well-trained reconnaissance team cautiously out of the camp, carrying out an important mission—to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the surrounding environment.
The scope of this operation was set within a radius of ten miles, which meant that no inch of land and no corner could be overlooked.
Chen Feng took the lead and personally traversed the edge of this vast region.
His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, not missing a single rustling sound; his steps were as light as a feline, silently treading over the grass and piles of rocks.
At the same time, he also instructed his team members to cleverly set up small warning formations in some key and easily overlooked locations.
Although these formations are not large in scale, they contain ingenious mechanisms and can keenly detect the whereabouts of werewolves in the vicinity.
Time passed quietly, but Chen Feng and his team remained highly vigilant.
Gradually, they began to detect more and more werewolf sightings.
At first, only one or two gray-furred werewolves were occasionally spotted sneaking around, but as time went on, the situation became more and more complicated.
In addition to the common gray werewolves, black werewolves with black hair, red werewolves with crimson fur, and blue werewolves with blue fur have appeared one after another!
Fortunately, after some observation and analysis, Chen Feng discovered that most of these newly emerged werewolves were only at the middle-third rank.
Nevertheless, facing the ever-increasing and diverse threat of werewolves, Chen Feng knew he could not afford to be careless.
Even if only one powerful werewolf breaks through the defenses, it could bring annihilation to the entire camp.
So he continued to monitor the surroundings intently and constantly adjusted his deployment strategy to ensure that nothing went wrong...
"Commander Si, within a radius of ten miles, we have detected the presence of more than three thousand werewolves, including over a hundred black werewolves, red werewolves, and blue werewolves. However, most of them are sixth-rank experts, and there are a few fifth-rank experts as well."
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Chen Feng returned to the camp headquarters, travel-worn and weary.
He traveled non-stop, just so he could report the details of the mission to Si Yuniang in a timely manner.
When he set foot on this familiar land, the sight before him filled him with awe.
The once ordinary hillside and two other small hills nearby have undergone tremendous changes.
They were all cleverly constructed into impregnable defensive fortifications!
These fortifications were ingeniously designed, with a network of trenches and numerous bunkers.
At various key locations, there are also all sorts of terrifyingly powerful weapons.
They possessed giant crossbows with extremely long ranges, capable of easily penetrating the enemy's heavy armor; and catapults with fierce firepower, able to hurl huge stones hundreds of meters away.
Moreover, the 1,400 brave and fearless human soldiers were already in position, ready for battle.
