Chapter 582: Victory In Numbers
"Look, my lord, the big monkeys in the city are really making some noise."
Zhuge Guo said, and pushed the picture returned by the bird in front of Chen Tao.
The picture shows the city where the ape-men live. At this time, a large number of troops are moving in the direction of Chen Tao and the others, so the purpose of this trip is self-evident.
Lu Lingqi, who came over, looked at the test screen on the tablet and complained: "How do these apes communicate? When I went out just now, I brought a few Shadow Sisters with me, but they are not around our city. Found the slightest clue.”
Elite Shadow's reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities can be said to be the strongest under Chen Tao. If they find no trace of the enemy, there are only two possibilities.
The first is that there are really no enemies around, and the second is that the enemy responsible for monitoring you is so powerful that even Elite Shadow cannot detect it.
Not long ago, Lu Lingqi took thirty or fifty people out to "explore the road" and returned to the territory before it was completely dark.
As soon as it turned completely dark, troops began to gather in the ape-man city, which was really unsettling.
"General Lu, don't be anxious. Maybe the other party has some reconnaissance and communication methods that we don't know about. If their strength is really high enough that we can't detect it, they will attack us when they first meet. , instead of choosing to take a shortcut by sending troops five times our size."
Zhao Xiang spoke to comfort him.
"really."
Lu Lingqi's nervousness calmed down slightly after hearing this.
"Lord, just now, two small groups of more than a dozen ape-men were dispatched from the ape-man city, and they set off in the other two directions."
Zhuge Guo, who had been paying attention to the trends in the city, suddenly reported the newly discovered situation to Chen Tao.
Chen Tao turned around and saw two small groups of people heading in two different directions.
Looking at the constantly moving team, an idea suddenly popped up in Chen Tao's mind, so he said casually: "It seems that except for the disappearance of humans, other races in this world are thriving."
Zhuge Guo suddenly raised his head and said: "My lord, what you mean is..."
Chen Tao nodded and said: "I think it is very likely that after all humans disappear, other races that were originally suppressed by humans will emerge. The ape-men should be afraid that only one family will not be able to completely eat us."
Everyone nodded, and then Zhuge Guo said again: "By the way, my lord, are we going to let General Guan and General Zhao lead people to attack the ambush from behind later? After all, the other party may have eyes and ears that we don't know about."
Chen Tao thought for a moment after hearing this and said: "No need, let the four of them lead the team and attack directly from the canyon, and let the army of agencies take charge of the response."
Then Chen Tao's territory fell into a state of silence, and everyone was charging up Essence Nurturing, waiting for the arrival of midnight.
However, Zhuge Guo did not stop using the machine bird to monitor the enemy and investigate the surrounding areas.
"Lord, there are about ten thousand people coming out of the city. They are stationed half an hour away from us."
...
"Lord, one of the two teams seems to have reached its destination, which is also a small city, but the enemies inside seem a little stranger than these big monkeys."
Just when he was about to set off, Zhuge Guo suddenly ran up to Chen Tao holding a tablet.
Chen Tao took a closer look, and sure enough, a new small city appeared on the screen. The green creatures in the city were constantly moving. However, because it was already late at night and he was afraid of being noticed by the enemy, Zhuge Guo let the machine bird fly very quickly. High, so the true appearance of the monster cannot be determined.
After a while, the ape-man team left the city and began to return, but by this time there were several more green figures in the team.
Seeing this scene, Lu Lingqi complained: "Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect these beasts to know how to send a few over first to explore the truth."
Chen Tao announced his departure when he saw that no new enemies had appeared for the time being.
To be on the safe side, Chen Tao brought Hero and Athena along with him in addition to Guan Yinping, Lu Lingqi, Joan of Arc, Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Xiang and Zhuge Guo.
Athena is considered a big killer and is responsible for protecting Chen Tao in case of uncontrollable situations, while Hero is Guan Yinping's strong request to bring someone who is responsible for protecting Chen Tao.
It was only ten minutes after Chen Tao's more than a thousand men started to move that the ten thousand or so ape troops behind them began to move. Of course, these situations could not escape the eyes of the surveillance birds in the sky.
"How did these beasts find out that we were leaving? There was not even a single enemy scout in sight."
Lu Lingqi's expression was a little bad at this time, because it was now basically certain that the enemy did have reconnaissance methods that were unknown to us. In the eyes of a leading general, this was a very scary thing.
"Don't panic. If we're lucky, we'll know the reason soon, from the enemy's mouth."
Chen Tao, who was not far behind her, comforted her.
After three or four hours of trekking, Chen Tao and a leisurely group of about a thousand people finally arrived at the canyon where the ape-man ambush.
This is when the general of the ape-man army who was following Chen Tao's troops from a distance finally breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that this group of humans would have to wait until dawn to reach the canyon.
Then the general ordered his soldiers to be ready to go with all their strength and strive to enter the battlefield as quickly as possible, because only in that way can more humans be captured alive.
The general asked his soldiers to move quickly while mobilizing them before the war: "My sons, the vanguard of mankind is at the front. As long as you defeat them, the sharp weapons in their hands and the gorgeous armors on their bodies will be yours. For the sake of wave God, come with me!!!"
At this time, he is no longer afraid that his whereabouts will be discovered by Chen Tao. If the human beings are not fooled, then it is confident that with the troops of 10,000 people, it will completely defeat the 1,000 human beings in front.
This is not because the ape-man general is blindly confident. After all, he still has something to rely on.
And its so-called reliance is on the murals about humans passed down by their ancestors. It is said that humans drove the ape-man family into the deep mountains and old forests to live in the mountains and forests only because of their numbers. They did not dare to come out to live until decades after the complete disappearance of humans. Some apes are convinced of this.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Boer ape-man does not take Chen Tao and the thousand people into consideration.
Chen Tao started moving again after pretending to be repairing in front of the canyon for more than ten minutes.
Due to the terrain of the canyon, most of the roads can only allow two or three people to walk side by side. In order to pass quickly, Chen Tao had to stretch his team to an extremely long distance.
This is also the fundamental reason why the apes chose this place to ambush Chen Tao's troops.
