"Col. Xu, how are you preparing?"

"It's OK, where are your data?"

"It's all here. According to the past 138 records, the average number of reconnaissance monsters is 5.87, the highest is 8, and the lowest is 5."

"What I counted here is the mass. The peak is the fourth-level dark shell beast, the low is the first-level short-leg deer, and the average level is 2.45."

Xu Ling understood in his heart that in other words, the monsters that came out of the pass generally looked like six or seven, and most of them were second and third-level monsters.

No wonder, the purpose of these unlucky guys sent by the orcs is to "record" everything with their eyes, and then swallow the magic crystal to obtain information. The loss is very high. If the sending is too high, it will be inexpensive to be sent to the east side for nothing, or if it is swallowed by itself.

"How is it, Colonel Xu, are you sure?"

"If it is based on this intensity, there should be no problem. If there are four levels and eight, it may be a bit difficult. As long as the quantity and quality are not full, I am sure." Xu Ling said truthfully, neither exaggerating nor modesty.

The staff officer was very happy: "It's great. Generally speaking, their quantity and quality are out of sync. If there is a fourth-level monster, there are usually only five in total, and there will be no situation where both sides are at the same time."

"That's good."

Xu Ling felt relieved and began to make the final preparations.

...

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Okay, stop and go to that position, hey, say you! Don't tear the tent first! Ouch, don't move that disguise net."

Jiang Sanjin, who has always been a good temper, was very big at this time. The expeditionary army was elite and had never moved forward. It was easy to command them to fight, but now it was a bit difficult to arrange a false retreat and disguise.

"Slow down, don't retreat all at once." He walked back and forth between the team, constantly instructing the ministers to lead his people to hide as planned.

They were asked to move slowly because they tried to let the reconnaissance monsters see the movements here before they completely retreated, and then bring the news back.

In this way, the Orc Legion will learn that the Expeditionary Force is being mobilized on a large scale. At that time, Xu Ling uses illusion to control the next batch of reconnaissance monsters, making them think that it will be more reasonable for the Expeditionary Force to completely evacuate.

"Sir, the entire army has retreated, the camouflage has been completed, the firepower line has been set up, all hidden points have been confirmed, and the plan can be implemented at any time."

"Okay, you go first."

Zhu Talan sent the commander away, and then said to Xu Ling, "It depends on you now. I should remember several sets of follow-up actions. Then it depends on how the orcs react and adapt to the situation."

Xu Ling nodded solemnly.

Zhu Talan smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter, don't be under pressure. They will not be able to let the entire army surge out of the pass in a short period of time. Even if they fail, it is nothing more than the plan that cannot be completed and there will be no serious consequences."

Xu Ling also gave him a confident smile: "No, I'm just considering how to control the energy."

It is very complicated to use illusion to control multiple monsters at the same time. The difficulty is not only in control, but more importantly, at the same time, he wanted to use the Dream Sword Technique to make several monsters fall into the illusion the moment he appears, and no one can be missed.

"I'm ready and can start anytime."

"Okay, hope everything goes well."

Zhu Talan walked back to the rear of the position and ordered all combat sequences to retreat into the hidden location prepared in advance, while the logistics personnel retreated further away, and then the entire army was silent and no sound was allowed.

Xu Ling was hiding very close to the pass. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the reconnaissance monster to arrive.

However, since they crossed the pass and caught the group of people, the monsters seemed to be more cautious. They no longer came out at a fixed time, sometimes not coming for a long time, and sometimes two waves came for a few hours.

So the Expeditionary Force didn't know how long it would take to wait, but in such a large battle, everyone retreated more than a kilometer and tried their best to hide. Everyone was holding their energy to succeed.

At this moment, all his eyes were focused on Xu Ling. He was the key to the key. If he could not confuse the reconnaissance monsters with illusion, then everything would be useless.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

The Expeditionary Force was not very lucky. It took more than five hours to wait for this wave before several monsters arrived late.

They approached the east exit from the west side of the pass, and slowly moved forward with their noses. Suddenly they found that the air had reduced a lot of human scent.

"Aoao."

They walked forward against the stone walls on both sides and gradually reached the end.

A dog-shaped monster walked out first, looking around carefully, confirming that all the humans here in Chen Bing had disappeared, and shouted a few times and summoned their companions out.

At this time, Xu Ling, who was hiding not far away, started the storm of wind.

Then they quickly approached the monsters, and the gap between them and him was too big, and they were completely unaware of the slightest warning.

At this time, the Jiuxuan Jin technique did not help him much. What he needed now was an opportunity to remove the wind step, and then instantly draw the sword and use the illusion to confuse all the monsters.

But he had to wait until they could cover the angle that Xu Ling's illusion could. After all, it was impossible for him to cast the magic when his target butt was facing him.

There are six monsters this time, all of which are in the third level, within the reasonable range of previous statistics.

Xu Ling had practiced it in his mind many times in advance, and was very skilled in illusion. At least for his side, it was foolproof.

After seeing the human retreat, the monsters seemed very excited. They looked around and gradually began to walk out.

In the eyes of the monsters, the surrounding woodland was very calm and there was no suspicion. If the orcs had not instructed them to search carefully, they might have already gone back with the news.

But the expeditionary army hiding behind was a little anxious. They did lay some bunkers and camouflage on the periphery, which blended with the environment from a distance, but once they got close, they could easily find flaws.

As the monsters approached step by step, their hearts gradually rose up.

Due to the existence of the Qifeng Step, most people don’t know where Xu Ling is. Only experts like Zhu Talan can detect Xu Ling’s location.

The leading dog-shaped monster walked forward with his head down. When he encountered a pile of waste that had not been taken away, he would double it with his claws. He would continue to walk after confirming that it was completely normal. But he was extremely careful and soon he approached a hidden bunker of the expeditionary force.

Logically speaking, this distance is enough to make it discover anomalies.

But it seemed as if it had not seen the disguise net hidden in the forest at all. Even though it was only a few meters away from some soldiers, it still lowered its head and sniffed it.

Finally, the reconnaissance monsters turned their heads one after another and returned to the direction of the pass.

Everyone knew that Xu Ling had succeeded, and he unconsciously controlled all these monsters with illusions.

Zhu Talan was lying low behind, recalling the details just now. As the strongest combat power of the expeditionary force, he could see clearly. Xu Ling just canceled the state of the Fiery Wind Step in an instant, and at the same time drew his sword to perform illusions on the monsters that were advancing in a synchronous manner, and then hid himself with the Fiery Wind Step in an instant.

This set of operations takes place in an instant, but the difficulty is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

The returned monster ran faster and faster, and finally ran back from the pass. Xu Ling finally withdrew his martial arts and returned to the hidden position.

"Report, the task was completed smoothly, the illusion was set successfully, and in their memory, we have completely evacuated."

Everyone in the command center wanted to cheer excitedly, but to prevent exposure, they suppressed such impulse.

The observer continued to observe the pass in the hidden corner, and there was movement within two hours.

An orc covered in armor walked out in heavy steps. He held a steel spear in his hand and strided with his head high, with a somewhat arrogant look on the world, as if he was shouting loudly at the unmanned open space.
