Although the transcendents who participated in this competition are very young, as the elite of the elite, they are not reckless people, let alone some rice buckets. Therefore, after discovering that the current situation is not good, most people choose to retreat to a safe place around them to find a solution to the problem instead of head-to-head collisions with complete defenses and neatly staffed fortifications.

　　 Soon, Lawrence and the others followed the traces of some people left on the tree and found a camp for the contestants in a valley more than 500 meters away from the kobold fortress.

　　 In this valley, a large number of tents and shacks lined up one after another on the slopes on both sides of the valley. There are many traces of personnel activities on the open space below the jawbone. At the entrance of the valley, the contestants used nearby stones, soil and wood to build a simple fortification, guarding the entrance of the valley like a checkpoint.

　　 "Hi, Lawrence, is that you?" When they appeared in front of the level, a person on patrol waved hello to Lawrence. "You guys are here too today!"

　　 "It's nice to meet you, Zhu Yan." Squinting his eyes, Lawrence immediately recognized that the man who stood on the barrier and greeted him was Zhu Yan, the demon gunman of the New Continent Republic that he met the other day. After confirming each other's identities, a rattan woven ladder hung from the barrier for Lawrence and the others to climb up.

　　 "What the **** is going on in this camp?" After watching Zhu Yan hand over the task to an orc shaman who had just climbed the fortification shift, Lawrence asked him curiously. "Would you not be discovered when you set up a camp in this place?"

　　 "Don't get excited, let me answer these questions little by little." Zhu Yan smiled and motioned Lawrence and the others to follow them to the middle of the camp, explaining as they walked. "This camp was established three days ago, and everyone here wants to go to the cave on the volcano to take a look."

　　Speaking of this, he scanned the surrounding circle to confirm that no one else was around and said. "The investigators we sent before found that the kobolds had a lot of jewelry made of precious metals and gems, so everyone hoped to kill the kobolds and get wealth."

　　 For the transcendents, precious metals and gems are not merely symbols of wealth. These things are indispensable raw materials in the production of many transcendent-related objects, and they can also assist transcendents in their practice. So they are regarded as part of extraordinary resources. For the transcendents, the more transcendent resources used in practice, the better.

　　 The transcendents now appearing here are the top part of young people, but they either belong to their own struggle and have great luck to this day, or they belong to the best new generation of an elite group. These two types of people have a common feature, that is, the resources on hand are not enough.

　　Because if they are struggling on their own, they will consume a lot of resources to this day. It is difficult for them to do this while accumulating enough resources at the same time. The resources allocated to everyone by various large organizations are limited, and every point of use must be carefully calculated to ensure the greatest effect. There is basically no chance to save resources.

　　 So for the vast majority of people in this camp who lack resources, this opportunity to obtain a large amount of resources at one time is really rare, and basically no one is willing to let this opportunity go. It's just that in the face of a military fortress, it is basically impossible for these contestants to take advantage of it alone, so that everyone can only gather here to find a way.

　　 Of course, not everyone here lacks resources. However, even if there are more resources, if there is a chance to get more resources and points, not many people will refuse.

"As for those kobolds, of course they know we are here." What Zhu Yan said did not exceed Lawrence's expectation. As a kobold who is good at activities in the forest, he would not know the camp of a large group of humans five or six hundred meters away. That is strange.

　　 It’s just that according to Zhu Yan, the group of kobolds returned to their simple fortress only after investigating. Did not try to attack here.

"It seems that these kobolds are more cunning than we thought." John said next to him. "They didn't attack all the enemies in their territory like wild beasts, but they knew how to think and how to disagree with themselves. An invincible enemy head-to-head, such a monster is even more difficult to deal with."

"You're right." Zhu Yan gave him a thumbs up after hearing John's words. "Now the extraordinary men who have served in the military as the leader in this camp think so too. They I think that the group of kobolds should not treat them as simply monsters, but as an army of wild creatures."

　　 While talking, everyone came to the middle of this valley. In the middle of the valley is an open space the size of four basketball courts. Now two people are playing in this open space, and a bunch of people are cheering loudly around the open space.

　　 On the **** behind this open space, a platform half the size of a basketball court was also cleared out, and a large tent stood on the platform.

　　 "This is the competition platform. All participants in this camp can choose this place to play against other people. This kind of battle can be a team battle, or one member can be selected to represent the whole team."

"And the big tent above is the meeting room of the camp. Everyone is discussing the way to attack the kobold fortress. You came in time. If the team comes back after lunch today, it will be basically because of time. It’s impossible to participate in the decision-making process, you can only choose to participate or not to participate in the next action."

"This is reasonable." Lawrence nodded. He saw nearly 300 people in this camp. It is not easy to integrate these guys who are good at fighting alone to attack a completely militarized kobold tribe. It’s necessary to take half a day to do a basic integration.

　　If someone comes too late, even if the plan proposed is better, everyone can't adjust it. Because at that time, instead of getting a so-called perfect plan that everyone can't execute smoothly, it is better to choose those slightly flawed but everyone is prepared to execute the plan~lightnovelpub.net~Not everyone in Lawrence and his team can enter that action Of the conference room. After negotiating with the guards at the entrance of the tent, Lawrence and John were allowed to enter the tent, while the other three were led by a guard to camp in a clearing.

This is a convention among the transcendents: if a bunch of transcendents who are not familiar with each other are ready to do something collectively, then the commander of this operation will be based on the caster, the paladin, and the past. Selected from the extraordinary who served as an officer.

　　 Of course, spellcasters like sorcerers or druids tend to barely replace them when no one else is qualified to command. Lawrence was allowed to enter this tent because he was the captain, and after becoming an official-level warlock, his strength was one of the best among the more than 300 extraordinary men.

　　 Walking into the tent, Lawrence found that the furnishings in the tent were very simple. Just hanging on the front of the most tent is a map with nearby terrain and monster information. The people in the tent stood there, and there was no table or chair to rest on. An extraordinary person from the New China Republic wearing an unmarked blue-gray military uniform was standing on the edge of the map with a pole, pointing and talking.

"——In short, this is the approximate layout of the six kobold camps surrounding this volcano. Although it is different from the information in the data, it does not affect our next move." When Lawrence came in, The member of the delegation of the New Continent Republic seemed to be about to finish his reporting work, and he spoke quickly in Frans. "If anyone finds something different, please tell me as soon as possible."
