Chapter 109: The Invaders Arrive
Time passed day by day.
During this period, Zhao Pan’s selection and training of slingers proceeded smoothly.
Meanwhile, the construction team at the Black Rock Tribe worked tirelessly, finally completing a full circle of ancient city walls the day before the truce token expired.
Naturally, the scale was incomparable to the Mirror Tribe’s.
Luo Ji had marked out territory for the Mirror Tribe based on city-building standards, leaving plenty of open space behind the ancient city walls.
The Black Rock Tribe’s settlement, however, resembled a small fortification.
Now, it was time for troop deployment.
Although his plan, if successful, meant the Black Rock Tribe wouldn’t be attacked, it was always better to be cautious and not leave anything to chance.
With this in mind, Luo Ji waved his hand.
Two shield-axemen and five slingers were dispatched to the Black Rock Tribe.
If attacked, they were to defend to the death, using the advantage of the city walls to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
The remaining ten slingers, five archers, fifteen shield-axemen, and the two fierce generals, Luo Yong and Liu Zheng, were all concentrated at the Mirror Tribe.
After Luo Ji’s deployment, the day the truce token expired quietly arrived.
[System Notification: Player ‘Zhou Kai’ has invaded your civilization!]
Listening to the system notification, Luo Ji couldn’t help but sigh at the misfortunes of new players.
Sure enough, these veterans mercilessly targeted and bullied unfamiliar newcomers.
However, this time, Luo Ji simply thought.
“Perfect timing!”
At this moment, figures appeared out of thin air on the plains outside the Mirror Tribe.
Their location was slightly different from the previous player’s but not by much.
Leading them was a burly young man in his twenties, who was the invading player, Zhou Kai!
Feeling the midday sun on his head, Zhou Kai stretched his limbs.
“Is it noon here?”
He didn’t order his subordinates to spread out and search.
Zhou Kai looked down at the ground covered in footprints, a subtle hint in his voice.
“Such good luck?”
“I was randomly teleported by the system to a location with clues as soon as I entered?”
However, it wasn’t too surprising.
According to the system rules, players were randomly teleported near the opponent’s territory.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Kai beckoned to a subordinate beside him.
“Follow the footprints and scout the situation.”
“Once you find the enemy tribe’s camp, immediately return and report to me.”
The warrior who received the leader’s command quickly moved out.
Their original location was not far from the Barbarian Bear Tribe.
The scout easily discovered the Barbarian Bear Tribe’s camp and returned to report to Zhou Kai.
After hearing the report, Zhou Kai rubbed his chin.
“The tribe has two hundred to three hundred people? It seems this unfamiliar newcomer is a warmonger. What about their weapons and equipment? Did you find anything?”
“Yes sir, I saw slings and round wooden shields.”
Zhou Kai wasn’t surprised that the opposing player had slingers.
As a ranged unit from ancient times, any new player with basic common sense could create them.
However, the round wooden shields were a bit troublesome.
After all, he had brought fifteen archers with him on this trip.
If the enemy put up their shields, at least half of his archers’ advantage would be blocked.
At the same time, Zhou Kai completely confirmed the identity of the opposing player.
With this number of people and equipment, who else in ancient times could have produced such things besides a player?
“I didn’t expect to be blind by accident and pick a tough nut to crack…”
Zhou Kai rubbed his chin, pondering countermeasures.
“Should we launch a night raid after dark?”
“No, no! After dark, my archers won’t even be able to aim.”
“Wouldn’t they all be useless?”
At this moment, Zhou Kai felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
He had brought fifteen archers intending to gain an advantage, but he ended up running headfirst into the enemy’s spear.
Not being someone skilled in strategy, Zhou Kai sat on a rock and pretended to ponder countermeasures for a while before slapping his thigh.
“Alright, a head-on assault it is!”
The moment they heard this, the subordinates standing behind him simultaneously showed a hint of speechlessness on their faces.
Their leader always liked to be profound for a bit, but every time he finished being profound, he still ended up going for a head-on assault.
So what exactly was he being profound about?
Of course, they only thought such things to themselves.
They were quite satisfied with their leader.
At Zhou Kai’s command, the group of thirty people charged mightily towards the distant location of the Barbarian Bear Tribe.
It’s worth mentioning that, besides the fifteen archers, the remaining fourteen warriors were all equipped with shield-axemen’s weapons and gear.
Zhou Kai himself was carrying a very eye catching battle axe on his shoulder!
However, what they didn’t notice was that in the forest behind them, among the lush branches of a large tree, a pair of eyes was quietly watching their every move.
After watching Zhou Kai and his group leave, Luo Jin, who was hiding in the tree, moved his body and quickly slid down the main trunk of the tree.
He then took off the camouflage suit woven from vines and leaves.
“The outsiders have indeed come.”
“I must quickly return to the tribe and report the information to the patriarch.”
Shifting the perspective back to the invaders, the combat strength Zhou Kai brought with him was, to some extent, already capable of doing whatever they wanted in ancient times.
A commotion erupted within the Barbarian Bear Tribe.
The slingers’ stone attacks were easily deflected by Zhou Kai’s shield-axemen.
With the shield-axemen blocking in front, the fifteen archers behind them naturally fired at ease.
Arrows continuously flew from their bowstrings, striking the Barbarian Bear Tribe’s warriors.
The Barbarian Bear Tribe’s warriors, imitating their opponents, raised their imitation round wooden shields to block.
However, with their ranged unit strength and equipment inferior to the enemy’s, how could they outlast them?
In just two rounds of long-range exchanges, several Barbarian Bear Tribe warriors had already died under the barrage of arrows.
The current situation made Savage Bear mistakenly believe that Luo Ji had once again led people to attack.
A look of grief and indignation immediately appeared on his rugged face, followed by a distortion.
“These guys, after taking ten prey animals, they’ve come to kill again?”
“Do they really think I’m easy to mess with?!”
Furious, Savage Bear led the Barbarian Bear Tribe’s warriors, roaring and charging forward with their round wooden shields raised.
The two groups instantly clashed, and a fierce battle officially began at this moment!
