Flying is much faster than running!
The two ghosts who sneaked away early, leaving their companions behind to continue watching, and who seized the opportunity, felt a lot of emotion in their hearts. If it were before they turned into ghosts, their speed might not be able to catch up with the jackals, but after becoming ghosts, it was just a matter of a blink of an eye for them to surpass the jackals.
He quickly flew back to the Undead Fortress and found Li Ziyu on the roof of the main building, and quickly landed.
Li Ziyu leaned against the wall, gazing at the night view of the Ghost Mountain Range in the distance. Suddenly, two ghosts appeared beside him, kneeling on one knee.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Ziyu turned his head to look at the two ghosts falling from the sky and asked.
"Lord of the Undead, we have discovered the invaders' scouts." said a ghost.
"Scouts? How many people are there and how far away are they from us?" Li Ziyu looked serious and asked solemnly.
"10 jackals and 5 local dogs, about 5 kilometers away from us." The ghost thought about it. After becoming a ghost, his perception of distance became much weaker.
A gleam of light flashed in Li Ziyu's eyes. He didn't care too much about the jackals who came to investigate, but he was very happy about the alert range of the undead. The range of 5 kilometers was enough for him to predict many things in advance. The detection range of the skeleton undead was not that far.
The ones coming are gnolls, so there is no doubt that they were sent by the time traveler. The other party is so aggressive that it is impossible for them to ignore the undead after discovering them. It is normal for them to send out a scout team.
Now that we have discovered it, we can't let the other party take the news back so easily.
I sent 1,000 skeleton undead to ambush a scout team. I should be able to keep them there, right?
Thinking of this, Li Ziyu immediately summoned the skeleton undead, asked the soul that came to report the news to lead the way, and rushed to the road that the werewolf scouts had to pass and ambush them.
"Lord of the Undead, don't worry, we promise to complete the task." The two ghosts who came to report the news patted their chests and said solemnly.
"Well, I leave it to you." Looking at the two dead souls, Li Ziyu nodded.
Mei Ji suddenly floated to his side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "Master, this is not appropriate."
Li Ziyu turned around in surprise and looked at Mei Ji, asking in confusion, "Is there a problem? Are the jackals so powerful that they can fight 100 alone?"
It is true that the Skeleton Undead are not included in the battle sequence and are the lowest level of Undead, but the number is there, 1000 to 10, including the coyotes, there are only 15 of them. How can they not be defeated? Li Ziyu doesn't believe it.
If the gnolls were so fierce, they would have conquered the wasteland long ago.
Mei Ji shook her head, her red lips parted as she spoke tenderly, "What I mean is that although the undead are very strong, they may not be able to surround that group of gnolls. If they escape, the master will be very distressed."
Li Ziyu then remembered that the charming beauty in front of him was once a noble of the Orc Empire and had a deep understanding of the orcs in the wilderness. From what she said, it might not be as easy as he thought to kill the gnoll scout team.
He really didn't know much about the races in the other world, so he had to ask Mei Ji, "Then tell me, what should we do to defeat the gnolls."
Mei Ji chuckled and turned to look at the heroic Bing Ji. Among the four fox princesses, Bing Ji was the one who was best at fighting. The remaining three had far less experience in battlefield fighting than her.
Seeing this, Bing Ji floated over to Li Ziyu, bowed slightly, and spoke in a clear, cold voice, "Jackals are excellent at tracking, very sensitive to all kinds of scents, have a strong sense of danger, and are also good at night combat. If the master directly sends the undead to ambush them mid-way, they will definitely be noticed."
Li Ziyu nodded, motioning her to continue. Bing Ji continued, "I suggest that the master send more longbowmen. When the enemy discovers the ambush and prepares to escape, we can take advantage of their unpreparedness and snipe them."
"Wouldn't it be better if I just sent the longbowmen?" Li Ziyu asked doubtfully.
Since the ambush doesn't work, why bother with it? Just let the longbowmen hide in the dark, and when they find the enemy, they can just draw their bows and shoot arrows and that's it.
Bing Ji shook her head and explained, "A plan within a plan is a safer strategy. The gnolls are difficult to deal with. They run very fast. If we only send longbowmen, they will easily escape."
Well, listen to advice and eat your fill.
Li Ziyu himself didn't know much about the gnolls, but Fox Lady and the others knew them very well, so he just listened to them and sent another 100 longbowmen to follow the skeleton undead.
…
Under the moonlight.
The gnoll scout team ran quickly along the footprints left by the undead. The scout captain who was running in the front suddenly stopped, looked forward vigilantly with his dim eyes, and the mane on his back stood up.
There is danger ahead!
He raised his paw, and the team members behind him also stopped and looked around, their noses constantly moving, and they smelled a familiar scent.
"Undead..." The scout captain grinned, revealing a mouthful of dirty fangs, and growled to remind his team members.
Although everything seemed normal in front of them, the smell and the bristling mane behind them made them realize what was hidden in the calm.
As beast-headed orcs, the gnolls retained the habits of their wild beast days. They believed in intuition and sixth sense, believing that they were reminders from their ancestors.
"Captain, what should we do?" The gnolls growled and asked in a wolf-like voice that only they could understand.
"We've been discovered and can't move forward." The scout captain responded immediately and prepared to retreat.
"But we haven't found the lair of the undead. How are we going to explain to the city lord when we go back?" another gnoll asked.
