341 The Original Strategy (I)
After hesitating for a long time, the leader of the Gravel Tribe ordered a small group of people to go to the outpost to help put out the fire while the others continued to guard the door and be on guard against Lin Ye, who was hiding in the forest.
However…
What he didn’t expect…
Lin Ye had already sneaked into the interior of the walled city. He was the one who ignited the red flames that appeared out of nowhere.
The concept of invisibility was too advanced for these primitive orcs.
Lin Ye hid in the dark alley and watched the Gravel Tribe orcs running towards the outpost with buckets of water. He was secretly thinking about how to kill a wave of people and then leave.
‘Should I just jump out and start killing?’
It was possible, but he had to kill all the orcs on this road in one breath and hide their bodies. He couldn’t let the orcs who came later to bring the water find them dead.
Otherwise, the witnesses would have blown the horn and told the other orcs that Lin Ye was hiding on this street.
So, he quickly gave up on this idea.
‘Should I use the fire as cover to go to the outpost and kill the orcs, then wait for an opportunity to act?’
Lin Ye thought about it for a moment. The risk was quite low since the orcs of the Gravel Tribe were in a mess and the main force guarding the gate didn’t dare to leave their post so easily, which means they could only send a small group over. After he killed the enemy, he could use the flames to burn the corpse on the spot and not worry about being discovered.
Whether it was the reinforcements stuck on the mountain by the fire or the army guarding the gate at the foot of the mountain, none of them knew what was happening with the orcs who had come to extinguish the fire.
However, he had to do something.
If Lin Ye was discovered by the enemy…
If so, how could he retreat from the gate of the walled city from such a long distance?
It was impossible.
He could only find a place to hide and pray that he would not be found by the black-skinned orcs.
‘Hmmm…’
‘I have my reservations for the time being…’
Lin Ye started to think about his third plan.
He continued to use “CNOOC” to set the Gravel Tribe’s buildings on fire, burning all the way down the mountain. Then, he used his self-created invisibility skill to escape as he watched these guys being flustered by the fire.
When they were completely in a mess and scattered, he would make his grand entrance and run away after finishing with his AoE attack, leaving no trace of himself behind.
This plan was the safest.
But it was also the most time-consuming one.
Also, if the black-skinned orcs would rather burn down their buildings than split up to fight the fire, then Lin Ye’s goal of “reducing the population” tonight would basically be for naught.
In the end, he still had to face them head-on.
He would run away after the fight.
Then…
What about the fourth plan?
He would rush through the burning outpost and use healing to heal their burns. When they were fully recovered, he would kill the black-skinned orcs who had come down from the mountain.
Then, he set fire to the mountain and went straight to the second checkpoint. The burning fire would prevent the orcs from going up the mountain to help, so Lin Ye could kill the Gravel Tribe Bosses hiding on the mountain without worry.
As long as he could kill the last Great Chieftain, he would be able to ignore the orc army guarding the gates of the stronghold.
However…
Even though this plan seemed good, it had a fatal flaw.
That was, Lin Ye couldn’t use Time of Silence to kill them without avoiding a large group of orcs rushing to him after he finished his fun.
At the same time, he had to reserve enough stamina to deal with the final Boss, Great Chieftain Dark Fantasy, especially if he still has his “Summoning Apostle” ability.
To top it all off, he didn’t know the Gravel Tribe’s defensive formation.
It would be too dangerous.
‘Forget it. I have the advantage. It’s better to play safe. I shouldn’t rush when dealing with the final Boss.’
After much deliberation, Lin Ye dropped the fourth option. Now, there were only the second and third options left. One had more benefits but was more dangerous, while the other was safer but had unstable benefits.
He thought for a moment.
Since Su Mumu didn’t contact him for so many days, Lin Ye assumed that the military train hadn’t reached Stormwind City yet. He still has time to play with these black-skinned orcs for a while.
He didn’t need to be in such a hurry to weaken the population of the Gravel Tribe.
‘The safer route it is.’
First, he had to ensure that he had the strength to safely evacuate the Gravel Tribe’s City before considering killing more orcs.
So, Lin Ye sneaked all the way back to the gate of the village where the orc army was gathered.
He took out a match from his backpack, drew a spark, and ignited a flame. He threw it on the “line” of oil he had sprinkled down along the way, making the flame rise like a long dragon and sweep through the first batch of areas of the Gravel Tribe’s walled city.
Immediately after.
Lin Ye hid in a dark corner and used the random items to cover himself while he observed the confused orc soldiers.
“Alioba! (To hell with this! Why is this place on fire?)”
“Chao! (Something’s not right!)”
“Ol lie gei! (Look at the fire, it looks like a long snake. A normal fire doesn’t look like this. Someone must have deliberately set it on fire!)”
“Aogen! (Remember to walk together! Don’t get separated! That guy is too strong!)”
...
“Ya mei te! (This is bad. The enemy has sneaked in. He set the two fires. Hurry up and find him. This guy must still be hiding in our stronghold!)”
“Aogen rai! (Remember to walk together! Don’t get separated! That guy was too strong! The moment we split up! He’ll definitely kill us one by one!)”
Realizing that the enemy had infiltrated the tribe, the Gravel Tribe leader was decisive. He immediately ordered the main force to move out and search for Lin Ye’s location instead of finding a water source to extinguish the fire.
