Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wei Xiuyuan had killed mostly insectoids in the galactic battlefield, but insectoids were also intelligent, and some of them were even more cunning than humans.

Also, during the ceasefire, he had often led his troops out to hunt down space pirates, so his experience in tracking tracks was definitely far beyond anyone on this ancient planet.

Therefore, it didn't take long for his team to discover the carefully concealed tracks of Xirong's scouts.

Following this trail of clues, the eleven of them discovered them before the enemy could.

It was a 20-man scout team, and every one of them was a strong Xirong youth, causing Wei Xiuyuan's ten men to cower in fear.

The man who used to be a hunter named Lin Zhong whispered to Wei Xiuyuan, "Captain, we can't beat them. Why don't we retreat?"

The enemy was an experienced Xirong scout team, all of them strong and fit, and they all carried quivers of arrows on their backs. Xirong people were basically all good archers.

On the other hand, they were just ordinary people who used farming tools a month ago. They didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and their bodies weren't strong enough either. They couldn't even wield their swords properly, let alone shoot arrows.

Moreover, the difference in numbers between the two sides was so great. The enemy should have been able to fight one against three, but in the end, the enemy had nine more people than them.

There was no possibility of a successful sneak attack at all, so Lin Zhong was telling the truth.

Wei Xiuyuan glanced at the Xirong scouts who were still far away and hadn't discovered them, then looked at the ten faces beside him and nodded slightly. "We can't fight them head-on."

He didn't have much hope for the combat strength of his ten men at all. He only brought them out to see some blood and let them slowly grow.

Wei Xiuyuan waved his hand and led his men away. They found a suitable place not far away and began to set up traps. "You guys come and help. Set up the traps first, and when those Xirong people fall into them, you guys can come out and finish them off."

Someone said fearfully, "Captain, let's retreat quickly!

They could have just reported this scouting team to the higher-ups. Why did they have to stay behind to set up a trap?

Even if we set traps, we can't kill twenty Xirong players! "

Wei Xiuyuan looked at him coldly and said, "Running away is useless. As a patrol team, even if we go back and report this news, we will still be sent out again.

Are you going to run back every time you discover a Xirong scout? "

He had built up a good reputation in the past month, and no one dared to question his decisions anymore. They all obediently followed his instructions and set up the traps.

The trap set by Wei Xiuyuan was obviously not simple. The others could only set it up step by step under his guidance. As a hunter, Lin Zhong could tell what kind of trap it was. He asked curiously, "Captain, does this trap need someone to activate it?

But this place is empty, and we have to hide behind that hill. Even if the Xirong people fall into the trap, it's useless if no one activates the trap! "

Wei Xiuyuan smiled faintly, "I have my own plans. Just do as I say."

Lin Zhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Wei Xiuyuan's confident look, he was full of doubts and didn't say anything. He buried his head and helped set up the trap.

After the trap was set, Wei Xiuyuan personally covered it up carefully. When no one could see anything strange about the place, he led everyone to hide behind the hill.

The hill where they could hide was far away from where they discovered the Xirong scouts. Unless the Xirong scouts came over, they would never be able to see them.

If the Xirong scouts wanted to come over, they would have to go through the place where they set up the trap.

Everyone tied up the horses and sat on the ground. Suddenly, someone asked, "Did we forget to lead the Xirong scouts to the trap?"

Wei Xiuyuan smiled, "We don't have to take the risk to lead them because I found out that the Xirong scouts were heading towards us. They will definitely find out that we were hiding and spying on them, and then they will follow us."

Someone else said in annoyance, "We should have erased the tracks we left behind along the way. That way, we wouldn't be discovered."

If they wouldn't be discovered, why would they set up a trap here and wait for a fight? Wouldn't it be better to just avoid the scouts?

Wei Xiuyuan shook his head, "If it were just the few of us, it would be easier to erase the tracks. But we still have eleven horses. The tracks left by the horses' hooves in such a short time won't be easy to erase. We won't be able to fool the experienced scouts.

This is also the reason why I didn't run away with you when I found the Xirong scouts. Even if we ran away, we would still be tracked. We might as well use the time before they found us to set up a trap and kill them. It would be a great achievement. "

However, the others were not as confident as Wei Xiuyuan. Instead, they were worried. What if the trap didn't work?

What if they were killed by the Xirong scouts?

Although they had spied on the Xirong scouts from afar and knew that the Xirong people's facial features were more three-dimensional and deeper than the Daqing people's, they were still humans like them. They were not the rumored three-headed, six-armed, iron-faced demons with fangs.

However, the fear caused by the Xirong's repeated killings of the Daqing people would not dissipate so easily. These recruits who had never seen bloodshed began to sweat as they held their weapons.

If it weren't for Wei Xiuyuan's high prestige and strict military law, they would have scattered and fled.

Wei Xiuyuan didn't care what his subordinates were thinking. His ears perked up as he listened to the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Xirong scouts usually wouldn't ride a horse unless they encountered an enemy. This was because it was inconvenient for them to cover the tracks left behind by the horse's hooves.

Therefore, it was difficult for Wei Xiuyuan to hear the sound of the horse's hooves moving slowly from afar.

However, not long after, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly become faster. It was probably the Xirong scouts who had discovered the tracks they had left behind. They rode their horses and chased after them.

Wei Xiuyuan closed his eyes slightly. The sound in his ears became clearer. He listened carefully. At the same time, the psychic power in his mind extended out like a tentacle and reached out to the place where they had set up the trap.

Then, he used his psychic power to 'see' the Xirong scouts galloping over on their horses. Just as their horses' hooves stepped into the range of the trap, his psychic power tentacle pulled the manual switch of the trap like an invisible hand.
