Chapter 197: Time for Burning, Killing, and Plundering
[System Notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for achieving victory in the invasion battle!]
[System Notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining item ‘Black Iron Treasure Chest ×1.’]
[System Notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining ‘Zhang Peng’s Belongings.’]
“Tsk! So it was indeed a Black Iron Treasure Chest?”
Although this outcome was within expectations, it was still a bit irritating.
However, what Luo Ji hadn’t expected was that before he could complain much in his heart, another system notification rang out in his mind…
[System Notification: The invasion battle has ended.
Do you wish to withdraw directly?]
“Huh?”
Luo Ji, who had never fought an invasion battle before, clearly didn’t know about this step.
After a brief thought, he chose ‘No,’ wanting to see what would happen next.
“After 1 hour of this world’s time, you and your troops will be forcibly sent back. Before then, you can choose to withdraw at any time.”
“I see.”
Luo Ji suddenly understood.
This was giving the winning side 1 hour for burning, killing, and plundering!
It should only trigger if the enemy player is killed.
Otherwise, if the opposing player is alive, you wouldn’t be free to plunder their life and property as you please.
As for whether this was truly the case, he’d note it down and ask Gao Su to confirm later.
But the most pressing matter now was to quickly recover all the heavy crossbow bolts that had been shot out!
Are you kidding me?
They’re very expensive, okay?
Didn’t you see that large piece of brass on the arrowhead?
Those are all money and resources!
Of course, while recovering the heavy crossbow bolts, Luo Ji certainly wouldn’t let go of the various resources in this tribe.
He directly dispatched his soldiers to search for them.
As for population, the people in this tribe probably already regarded him as an enemy, right?
Instead of taking back a bunch of disobedient commoners, it was better to take some more practical resources.
Would his world lack population?
“Chief, there’s a tent in this tribe filled with stones like these…” Because their tribe itself mined coal and copper, Luo Ji’s soldiers were careful to pay attention to various strange stones, let alone stones that were deliberately piled inside a tent.
“This is a crystal?”
Luo Ji reached out and took the stone the soldier handed him.
He raised an eyebrow.
The entire ore had a faintly translucent feel, and its color was green, making his first reaction upon seeing it be ‘crystal.’
Of course, he was also a bit unsure in his heart.
For now, he would just consider the ore in his hand to be crystal.
But there were many types of crystals!
And when he went offline before, he had only simply learned information about common metal ores like copper and iron.
As for others, he clearly didn’t have any, the scope was simply too vast.
It was impossible to learn everything in a short time.
“Tell everyone to go and transport all these ores.”
“Take as much as you can!”
In short, bring them back first.
Since they could be collected like this by the opponent, they must be useful.
At this moment, Luo Ji only regretted that 1 hour was too short.
He couldn’t finish transporting everything before being forcibly repatriated by the system.
Returning to the Mirror Tribe’s camp, Liu Meng, as a surrendered general who had come back with them, was clearly also someone with invasion experience.
He did not show much surprise on his face.
His eyes were full of curiosity as he surveyed this unfamiliar yet prosperous tribe.
“Liu Meng.”
“Sir.”
Looking at Luo Ji walking over, Liu Meng quickly and respectfully responded.
“You should have seen this kind of ore before, right?”
“Do you know what it is?”
As he spoke, Luo Ji fiddled with the green ore in his hand, which resembled crystal.
As Zhang Peng’s former general, theoretically, Liu Meng must have known.
It was just that he had stayed outside and hadn’t come in before, so Luo Ji was too lazy to go and ask.
Anyway, they had taken all of it.
“The previous Chief called this stone ‘Fluorite.’”
Liu Meng indeed recognized it.
“Fluorite?”
Luo Ji frowned slightly.
He had heard of fluorite, but only heard of it.
As for what it was used for, he said he had no idea.
“Do you know what this fluorite is for?”
“I don’t know. When it was first discovered, the previous Chief was very excited. He even threw this stone into a bonfire to burn. After tinkering for a few days, he didn’t get anything out of it, so he just left it aside and ignored it…”
A flicker of understanding flashed in Luo Ji’s eyes upon hearing this.
It seemed Zhang Peng’s conditions were not up to par, and he couldn’t do anything with this fluorite.
However, the purpose of this fluorite still needed to be figured out.
They had brought back quite a lot this trip.
It couldn’t be that they would just leave this mountain-like pile of fluorite in the warehouse to mold, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively decided to go offline.
He had accumulated many development issues before, and this was a good opportunity to investigate all of them thoroughly.
However, before that, he would first arrange all the necessary tasks here…
However, after only taking 2 steps, Luo Ji, as if remembering something, immediately turned back.
There were suddenly many things to do, and he had almost forgotten to check Liu Meng’s attribute panel.
This was truly an oversight.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji quickly clicked to take a look…
[Name: Liu Meng
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Status: Exhausted, Minor Injury
Loyalty: 79
Bravery: ★★★★
Intelligence: ★★☆
Spirit: ★★★

Skills: Inspire Morale (Active): After activation, overall morale increases by 30% through simple words and actions.
Shield-Axeman Mastery (Passive): Combat power of subordinate shield-axeman troops increases by 30%.
Tactics: None]
After reading this attribute panel, Luo Ji was overjoyed.
Two 4-star attributes!
And they were the very useful 4-star Bravery and Command!
This was truly a treasure he had stumbled upon.
And somehow, as a newly recruited fierce general, the opponent’s loyalty was surprisingly high, reaching 79 points.
This was clearly a good thing.
He quickly called over his assistant secretary, Bai Xu, and asked him to help Liu Meng settle down in the Mirror Tribe first.
At the same time, he also took the opportunity to explain all the necessary tasks and assignments to Bai Xu.
When the time came, Bai Xu could directly convey his intentions to the various departments within the tribe, after all, conveying the Leader’s orders was also one of an assistant secretary’s duties.
After all these arrangements were completed, Luo Ji, having gained a fierce general, went offline in a considerably joyful mood…
