Chapter 366 Yeenoghu's Descendants (Ⅱ)

"Wow! That's..."

Dick jumped up in surprise, and flew towards the field officers who were gathering under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool, and shouted while pulling his neck at a distance.

"Report sir! Joan... Joan is back!"

Colonel Harrison first heard the noise of the armor colliding, frowned and looked back at Dick, and was about to scold the frizzy young knight, when he suddenly heard him mention Joan's name, he quickly got up and asked, "Boy, what did you just say? "

"Second Lieutenant Tyndale, hold your breath and speak slowly if you have something to say." Major Green warned Dick gently.

Major Vasa and Magny also stopped talking and turned to look over.

Dick quickly straightened his chest and reported to the officers what he saw just now.

After hearing what he said, everyone looked up at the sky in unison.

Sure enough, he saw a black shadow spreading its wings and hovering in the air. The sun shone from behind him, and every feather seemed to be shining with black gold luster.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Joan's incarnate Yingman landed slowly, turned back into a human form and ran quickly to the shade of the tree, saluting a standard imperial military salute to Colonel Harrison and others who were waiting for his return.

"Joan, as long as you come back safely, tell me about the situation in the fishing village." Magni asked impatiently.

"Half an hour ago, I successfully flew over the fishing village and conducted a comprehensive aerial reconnaissance. I confirmed that the village has been occupied by a gang of wolf men. It is estimated that the number of gangsters is between 100 and 150."

"Besides, there are almost the same number of hyenas accompanying the Gnolls."

Joan finished reading according to the draft that had been typed in advance, and then handed the draft paper to Colonel Harrison.

"Hehe, you are really student-like!" Colonel Harrison took the note and said to Joan with a smile: "The military situation on the front line is urgent, and there is no need to issue a written report when scouting the enemy's situation. Oral reports will be fine in the future." OK."

Joan nodded silently, without explaining that he didn't write a written report on purpose, but was just used to making a draft in advance, otherwise, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of strangers, he might be nervous and unable to speak smoothly.

"Joan, have you checked that watchtower near the pier?" Major Green asked.

"I've checked. There are two Gnoll sentries standing guard on the watchtower, but they look more like they are taking a nap, and they are probably asleep at the moment."

Joan's report elicited bursts of laughter. Knowing that the Wolf man's vigilance was so lax, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Joan felt that it was necessary to sound the alarm to the officers to prevent them from making misjudgments, so he had to raise his voice and suppress the laughter around him.

"Actually, the sentries set up by the jackals are optional. After all, there are hundreds of hyenas roaming the village. These beasts have sharper noses than hounds and are very alert. If our army is approaching, the hyenas will definitely be alerted and send out a collective call." Barking wildly, it wakes up the gnolls and bandits who are taking a nap in the house."

Colonel Harrison put away his smile, stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that we can't be in a hurry to launch an offensive. Why don't we wait until the sky darkens before attacking the Gnoll camp under the cover of night..."

"Mr. Colonel, with all due respect, attacking gnolls at night is not a good idea!"

Joan couldn't help but refute Colonel Harrison's plan to his face.

Colonel Harrison's expression froze slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He asked Joan in a deep voice, "Tell me your reason."

"The wolf man is born with dark vision, and is a creature that is used to being nocturnal, but we humans do not have dark vision. Night attack is tantamount to using our weakness to counter the strength of the wolf man."

knowledge is power.

Although Joan himself had never had contact with the Wolf Man, he believed that the relevant records in the "Vares Monster Illustrated Handbook" were credible.

When Colonel Harrison was young, he led a team to defend against the rogue bandits from the southern Gobi more than once. After being reminded by Joan, he immediately recalled that the jackals did have the habit of plundering villages at night, and he no longer had any doubts about Joan's advice. He looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully:

"Since night battles are more detrimental to our army, we can only launch a surprise attack at noon when the sun is the most blazing. At that time, most jackals are still dozing off. If we can manage to attract those annoying watchdogs, we can Take the lead."

To lure hundreds of hyenas away without disturbing the Gnolls sounds like a fantasy, and there is no possibility at all.

Colonel Harris himself knew that this idea was unrealistic. Seeing that Vasa, Green, and Magny were silent, he laughed at himself and planned to give up this unrealistic idea and lead his troops to fight a tough battle.

"Mr. Colonel, it is too difficult to divert the hyenas away, and it is relatively easier to put the hyenas into a coma." Joan suddenly said.

"Oh? Little mage, can you cast a spell to make all the hyenas in the fishing village fall asleep?" Colonel Harrison's eyes lit up.

Joan thought for a few seconds, looked up to meet Colonel Harrison's expectant gaze, and nodded solemnly.

"I can't guarantee success, but there is no harm in trying."

"The first thing you should consider is your own safety. If it's too risky, forget it." Major Vasa couldn't help reminding Joan.

Joan smiled at him gratefully, with full confidence in his words.

"Don't worry, I won't take risks and act recklessly. If I miss, I will fly away invisibly before the jackal gang reacts."

Vasa knew how stubborn this young mage was. Hearing what he said, he knew that no matter how much he tried to dissuade him, it would be useless, so he nodded heavily.

"Since you insist on going, I can't stop you, but for the sake of safety, I suggest that the whole army should be dispatched while you are on the road. Before the large army arrives, you have about half an hour to hypnotize the hyenas."

"Whether it succeeds or not, our army will launch an offensive on the fishing village as planned after that. You must evacuate before the offensive, so as not to be surrounded by bandits alone, understand?"

"Understood!" Joan replied solemnly.

He silently calculated his spell reserves in his heart. He had to complete the secret infiltration, retreat, and casting spells at least twenty times within half an hour. The time was a bit tight, but it should be enough!

"Little guy, I've seen a lot of smart mages, but what you have is not only a superhuman mind, but also your courage, which makes me, a veteran, very impressed."

Colonel Harrison patted Joan on the shoulder, showing a rare look of appreciation.

"Whether this battle can be successfully won depends on your performance! Go, may the gods be with you!"

"Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Colonel, I will try not to let you down." Joan bowed deeply to the elderly colonel, and then changed back into the form of Jotunheim eagle, fluttering his wings and soaring upwards.
