Chapter 115: Submission
Ignoring A’Lu, who was almost driven mad by his torment, Luo Ji shifted his gaze to Savage Bear, who was clearly in a bad mood but remained silent.
“Savage Bear, you haven’t said a word since we started, have you?”
“I’m responsible for fighting, and A’Lu handles everything else.”
Savage Bear replied gruffly after Luo Ji questioned him.
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Ji’s eyes at these words.
Although they were brothers, Savage Bear surprisingly valued his younger brother.
According to Savage Bear’s statement, A’Lu was responsible for everything in the Barbarian Bear Tribe except for combat.
As if sensing Luo Ji’s surprise, Savage Bear, who had been silent, spoke again.
“A’Lu is very capable. Perhaps other tribe members don’t know, but I’m his older brother, so I know. I can’t manage a Barbarian Bear Tribe of over three hundred people, but A’Lu can.”
“Elder Brother…”
A’Lu’s eyes clearly showed a touch of emotion.
He had been worried that his elder brother’s straightforward nature would mess things up when they came to surrender today, so he had specifically asked him not to speak after meeting Luo Ji.
Now, although Savage Bear had broken their agreement, he had helped A’Lu, who was almost losing confidence due to Luo Ji’s taunts, regain some of it.
Seeing this, Luo Ji decided not to trouble them any further.
“Alright, you have successfully convinced me.”
“As the Chief of the Mirror Tribe, I accept your surrender.”
“Now, submit!”
Without needing to say more, from ancient times to the present, there has only ever been one way to show submission to the strong.
A’Lu, relieved, knelt down directly before Luo Ji.
After what had just transpired, he had completely lost any desire to be an enemy of this man.
An unpredictable enemy was often the most terrifying, no one knew what he would do next.
He had clearly had enough of this uncertainty.
Luo Ji glanced at A’Lu, who had already assumed a posture of submission, then his gaze shifted and finally landed on Savage Bear, who remained standing ramrod straight.
Luo Ji said nothing, but Savage Bear, upon meeting Luo Ji’s gaze, spoke first.
“I answered one of your questions just now. Now, I hope you can also answer one of mine.”
“What do you want to ask me?”
Luo Ji was not annoyed by Savage Bear, who stood perfectly straight.
Instead, he looked at him with interest.
Savage Bear turned his head slightly, pointing to the skull placed in Luo Ji’s tent.
“Is that skull from a saber-toothed tiger?”
“That’s right.”
Luo Ji admitted generously, having probably guessed Savage Bear’s thoughts.
A person who relies on their intellect often acts from a place of self-interest and makes the most rational choice.
A’Lu clearly belonged to this type.
Surrendering was more in line with his and the entire Barbarian Bear Tribe’s interests, so he would choose to surrender without hesitation.
However, Savage Bear clearly didn’t belong to this type.
He believed more in the idea of strength being paramount, otherwise, his self-esteem would inevitably resist.
Submitting to a man who could kill an ancient overlord like a saber-toothed tiger was certainly not humiliating.
After getting the answer he wanted, Savage Bear also very directly adopted a posture of submission.
“Savage Bear is willing to submit!”
[System Notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully annexing the ‘Barbarian Bear Tribe.’ Tribe population +267]
Listening to the system notification, Luo Ji felt a mix of joy and worry.
He was happy that he would definitely gain two talents and over two hundred laborers this time.
However, he was worried that the troublesome food problem had completely landed on his lap, with no way to avoid it!
In any case, before facing this vexing issue, Luo Ji decided to first examine A’Lu and Savage Bear’s attribute panels!
First, Savage Bear. With a thought from Luo Ji, Savage Bear’s attribute panel immediately appeared before him…
[Name: Savage Bear
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Loyalty: 80
Bravery: ★★★★
Intelligence: ★★
Spirit: ★★★
Endurance: ★★★☆
Leadership: ★★☆
Talent: Wounded Might: When injured, depending on the severity of the injury, gradually gains a 20%/40%/80% combat power bonus, and the injuries do not affect the display of his combat power (this talent is affected by ‘Bravery’).
Skill: Frenzy (Passive): In battle, has a 20% chance to enter ‘Frenzy’ state. In ‘Frenzy’ state, combat power increases by 50%.
Tactics: None]
While looking at Savage Bear’s attribute panel, Luo Ji remained outwardly calm, but his internal emotions were quite turbulent.
The 4-star bravery limit caused him a slight disappointment, as he had originally thought this was a fierce general with a 5-star limit.
But upon seeing Savage Bear’s ‘Wounded Might’’ talent, Luo Ji was shocked.
This talent was quite ruthless, it was the type where the more severe the injury, the fiercer he fought.
In a dying state, he could even forcefully drag down an opposing general as a shield!
This was the complete opposite of Liu Zheng’s ‘Breaking Through Encirclement’ talent in adversity.
The former sought a way to survive, while the latter had a feeling of fighting to the death without retreating!
Also, perhaps because the other party surrendered voluntarily, and because Zhou Kai had previously drawn some aggro for him, under the blessing of his ‘Ruler’ talent, Savage Bear’s initial loyalty reached the passing mark of 80 points, which made Luo Ji slightly happy.
With a somewhat pleasant mood, Luo Ji then opened the attribute panel of the younger brother, A’Lu…
[Name: A’Lu
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Loyalty: 83
Valor: ★☆
Intelligence: ★★★☆☆
Spirit: ★★☆☆
Endurance: ★☆
Leadership: ★★☆
Talent: Counter-Scheme: When engaging in battle with enemy forces, has a 45% chance to see through the enemy’s schemes and provide countermeasures (this talent is affected by ‘Intelligence’).
Skills: Tribe Management: When handling internal tribal affairs, personal work efficiency increases by 45%.
Task Assignment: For work tasks assigned by him, the executor’s efficiency increases by 30%.
Tactics: None]
Luo Ji found A’Lu’s attribute panel thrilling to look at.
The 5-star intelligence limit was self-explanatory, he was actually mentally prepared for it.
However, the main point wasn’t there!
The ‘Counter-Scheme’ talent destined A’Lu to be a talent specifically for targeting enemy strategists.
First, he would see through the enemy strategist’s schemes, and then counter them in a way that infuriated the opponent without costing him his life!
How formidable this talent would be in future wars needed no further explanation.
But the problem now was that the skill tree was completely skewed!
And not just by a little!
Oh god, Luo Ji felt his stomach aching again.
What were those two unsightly internal affairs skills in the skill bar?
You’re not meant for internal affairs at all!
