Spellcaster of Azeroth

Chapter 140
1 Forty Chapters Before the War
At night, Wayne and the others gathered around the campfire and prepared food.Teddy has already begun to eat the prey caught during the day.Although they were not far from the Jackal's camp, they were not worried about being discovered by the Jackal.The reason is very simple, there is a concealment spell by Venn outside.The effect of this masking spell is to create a thin layer of material that is the same as the surrounding environment, used to cover up and block Wayne and the others behind them.Therefore, the firelight cannot penetrate this layer of obstruction.

Taking advantage of the fact that the food on the bonfire was not yet cooked, Wayne took the opportunity to explain to Balka, Kalia, and Anna what everyone had to do in this operation: "Kaliya, come and summon the water and make it like this The shape of the trail is on this half of the trail near the slope."

With that said, Wayne used a trick to project what Kalia was going to do.

"Well, I understand." Kalia carefully observed Wayne's projection, nodded and agreed after understanding all the details.

Seeing that Kalia fully understood, Wayne turned to Anna and said, "Anna, your task is to freeze the water mass Kalia summoned into ice."

On the other hand, the magic image projected by Wayne also changed at the same time, and a magic ray was shot from above to freeze the water mass below.Then the process is repeated until the entire path is frozen into ice.Wayne looked up, looked at Kalia and Anna, and signaled if they had any questions, and asked quickly if they had any questions.

After watching the projection, Anna asked after Wayne signaled, "Why is the freezing ray shot down from above? Do we want to cast spells from the top of the mountain?"

"That's right, you have to know that gnolls have good noses. Although they are not as smart as us, they are also more intelligent than murlocs. Even murlocs know how to arrange guards to guard them when they are resting, gnolls How could we not know? Coupled with the problem of wind direction, the slope is just upwind, so as soon as we get to the slope, the gnolls will be able to smell us immediately. We will have no time at all Let's set up the ice, understand?" Facing Anna's question, Wayne gave a very detailed explanation until Anna nodded.

"What about me? What about me? Kalia and Anna both have things to do, what should I do?" Balka saw that Venn had finished speaking, and immediately asked Venn, for fear that Venn would miss him.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you, Balka." Neither Kalia nor Anna had any problems, and Wayne turned to Balka and said, "Your mission is very important."

"What is it?" Barka asked impatiently.

"Listen to me, Balka." Wayne stretched out his hand to comfort Balka and said, "As I said just now, the gnolls will arrange guards. Kill the guards on the path. Don’t let the guards make any noise. Create an ice surface for Kalia and Anna to create opportunities. How, can it be done?”

"No problem." Barka nodded heavily, and then asked: "Is there anything else? Is this the only thing I have to do?"

"Don't worry." Wayne patted Balka's shoulder and said: "After Kalia and Anna have made the ice surface, you need to use rockets to set those gnolls' thatched huts on fire, and then start shooting those who are not wearing clothes. Gnolls in metal plate armor, shamans are the top priority."

"What's the purpose of doing this? Didn't you mean to let these gnolls slide down the mountain and fall to their deaths?" Anna questioned at this time.

"This is not to kill these gnolls, but for two purposes. The first is to create chaos so that they will not notice the problems on the path and the gnolls who fell off the cliff. The second is to let them discover Baal. Ka, know that the attacking enemy only has a high elf child, so they will not think too much and will chase him out directly. You must know that the wisdom of the jackal shaman is much higher than that of ordinary jackals." Wayne Explained to Anna in detail.

"Then when do I want to light the gnoll's thatched shed?" Balka was a little confused at this moment. Wayne said that his task was very important, and he was afraid that he might not grasp the timing.

"I will notify you when the time comes. You just need to follow my instructions. When I tell you to light it, you can light it." Knowing Balka's worry, Wayne said to Balka.

"That's good." Balka nodded reassuringly.By this time the food on the fire had been cooked, a pot of sweet gnocchi soup made with fruits and gnocchi.

After eating, the four Waynes took Teddy with them to the place where they observed the gnoll camp during the day and started observing again.

Sure enough, the gnolls had arranged night guards, but there were only two of them squatting on the path connecting the slopes.Once something wants to sneak attack them from that path, just one Gnoll guard can resist it for a long time, enough for all the Gnolls to wake up and join forces to fight the enemy.The other was constantly walking around the camp in case something suddenly jumped down from the top of the mountain and attacked them.

"I didn't expect these jackals to be quite guarded." Anna whispered after observing carefully.

"Of course, after all, they are groups living in the wilderness. If they don't have enough ability, they won't be able to survive, right?" Wayne looked at the situation below and said softly.

"How about it, can we start?" Balka couldn't bear it now, and wanted to shoot and kill the Gnoll guard at the small intersection.

"That's almost it. It seems that the patrolling Jackal will not come close to the path. Just in case, it's best to wait until the patrolling Jackal reaches the farthest point while you shoot the guard at the intersection. This way the voice is low, reducing the possibility of being discovered." Wayne whispered to Balka.

Then he turned his head to Kalia and Anna and said: "You two are ready to retreat at any time. Once Balka fails, we will leave here immediately. Even if we give up this operation, it is better to go back and report to the ranger troops than to be killed by ourselves." Gnoll finds it better."

"Well, I see. Brother Wayne." Kalia nodded.

"Hey, Wayne, you don't believe me too much." Barka turned to Wayne dissatisfied at this moment.

"I don't think there's any problem with Wayne's thinking this way. After all, if we fail, we will face a group of jackals. The difference in strength between the two sides is really too big." Anna softly narrated in a calm voice.

"It's not a matter of belief or disbelief. The main reason is that we don't know how high the jackal man's hearing is, just in case." Wayne simply explained it to Balka, but this explanation didn't make Balka Ka was relieved, and made up his mind to use all his strength to complete this task, so that Wayne could take a good look at his abilities.
