Chapter 108: A Fight Broke Out?
When Zhou Yue said this, Zhao Pan, who was standing nearby, clearly heard everything.
His expression immediately turned anxious.
“Chief, I’ll go stop them!”
“No need. You stay here and continue selecting people.”
Luo Ji raised a hand to stop Zhao Pan.
Zhao Pan’s heart was filled with a bitter smile as he looked at Luo Ji’s expressionless face.
This was a sign that their Chief was angry.
“You two better pray for yourselves…”
Following Zhou Yue, they arrived at the training camp.
Inside, over a dozen shield-axemen and archers had formed a circle.
Inside the circle, Liu Zheng and Luo Yong were fighting intensely.
Everyone’s attention was completely focused on the fierce battle in front of them.
Not a single person noticed Luo Ji, who had already arrived outside the camp.
Zhou Yue’s face was filled with embarrassment when he saw this.
He was about to cough twice to remind the ‘beasts,’ but Luo Ji stopped him with a raised hand.
Facing this situation, Zhou Yue secretly grumbled to himself.
He had originally intended to find his elder brother, Zhao Pan, to break up the fight.
He never expected that the Chief, who was usually so busy that he was rarely seen, would actually have time to join in on the fun outside the camp today.
As a result, he was caught red-handed.
Looking at the current situation, he knew that today was over for him.
Ignoring Zhou Yue’s mournful face, Luo Ji’s expression softened slightly after scanning Liu Zheng and Luo Yong.
Having experienced so many battles, he was accustomed to duels between skilled fighters.
Luo Ji could clearly see that neither opponent was trying to kill the other and were fighting with a sense of restraint, which significantly reduced the anger in Luo Ji’s stomach.
At the same time, he was a little surprised that Luo Yong was not using his usual twin axes.
Instead, he was holding a round leather shield in one hand and a stone axe in the other, fully equipped like a shield-axeman.
Moreover, he was using it quite skillfully, managing to fight Liu Zheng to a standstill.
Luo Ji conveniently opened Luo Yong’s attribute panel.
He had been curious for a while.
After a person used a weapon for a long time, they would easily gain proficiency skills like ‘Axe Mastery’ or ‘Sling Mastery,’ but Luo Yong had none.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Ji realized that it might be Luo Yong’s extraordinary combat instincts at play.
Aside from ranged weapons, he seemed to be able to use any melee weapon proficiently.
The only requirement might be that the weapon had to be heavy!
Because of his ‘Innate Divine Strength’ talent, weapons that were too light felt flimsy and had no feel when he swung them.
Thinking of this, and looking at Luo Yong’s shield-axeman equipment, Luo Ji inexplicably got an idea.
However, at that moment, the two fighters in the camp simultaneously noticed Luo Ji standing outside the camp due to a change in angle.
Their hearts jolted, and they immediately stopped their attacks.
“Chief (Leader)!”
Their shouts served as a warning to all the shield-axemen and archers who were gathered around.
The crowd, who had been engrossed in watching the fight, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Without time to think, their bodies instinctively moved, quickly forming a neat square formation.
Their anxious eyes darted around, and their gazes at Zhou Yue were almost murderous.
Luo Ji was quite satisfied with the efficiency of their formation.
To be honest, his anger had mostly dissipated, but he maintained a stern expression on his face.
“Why aren’t you fighting anymore? Keep going.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji even made a ‘please’ gesture.
No one dared to speak.
The shield-axemen, who had been like gods of death when charging the Barbarian Bear Tribe’s defensive line a few days ago, were now silent as cicadas before Luo Ji.
“Discipline Rule number 3, who can tell me what it is?”
:I seem to have forgotten.”
The crowd remained silent.
No one was foolish enough to think that Luo Ji had truly forgotten.
“What? Are you all mute?”
“What is Discipline Rule number 3?!”
Facing Luo Ji’s repeated questioning, everyone braced themselves and spoke.
“No private fighting!”
“So you still remember?!”
Luo Ji revealed a surprised expression.
“It seems the training tasks I assign you daily are too light.”
“Everyone is full of energy and has nothing to do after finishing, is that right?”
As he spoke, Luo Ji changed the subject.
“Everyone, run thirty laps around the outside of the Mirror Tribe, followed by five hundred push-ups, five hundred sit-ups, and thirty rounds of planking.”
“If you don’t finish it, you don’t eat!”
At this point, Luo Ji paused, then turned to look at Zhou Yue, who was standing beside him with a mournful face.
“Zhou Yue, you too.”
“One person makes a mistake, and everyone gets punished!”
With that, Luo Ji had no intention of lingering.
He turned and left, not bothering to find out whose fault it was.
He also didn’t care.
The more he investigated such matters, the more difficult it would become.
So, he simply cut the Gordian knot and dealt with it swiftly.
You’re all full of energy with nowhere to vent?
Then I’ll give you something to do!
This was the experience Luo Ji had accumulated over several months.
Luo Ji’s decision quickly reached Zhao Pan’s ears.
After hearing it, Zhao Pan breathed a sigh of relief and then muttered to himself.
“It seems the Chief’s anger has subsided.”
After returning to the camp, Luo Ji didn’t forget to visit the Armament Department, instructing them to make a heavier stone axe for Luo Yong.
Luo Ji was quite supportive of Luo Yong switching to the shield-axe.
If Luo Yong was accustomed to using it, having an extra shield in his hand would always increase his safety on the battlefield.
Originally, on his way back, considering Luo Yong’s strength, he had wanted to custom make a double-bladed axe for Luo Yong.
This would increase offensive power and meet Luo Yong’s requirement for weapon weight.
However, after careful consideration, Luo Ji realized that their tribe’s current level of craftsmanship couldn’t achieve it.
More accurately, they couldn’t securely fasten the two axe blades.
To achieve this, the only method Luo Ji could currently think of was to pour molten copper or iron into the joint, but this was already within the realm of bronze casting and iron forging.
Unfortunately, they had not yet discovered any copper or iron ore resources.
Given the current circumstances, Luo Ji could only increase the size of the axe blade.
The stone axes previously made in the tribe had to consider each person’s arm strength and the axe handle’s load-bearing capacity, so the axe blade couldn’t be made too large.
However, the problem of the axe handle’s poor load-bearing capacity had been resolved.
With the successful production of bows and arrows, their tribe had discovered trees with sufficient toughness!
This meant that the plan to increase the size and weight of the axe blade to increase the stone axe’s lethality could now be considered.
