Chapter 220: Submission
Looking at Burigude kneeling before Luo Ji, Bai Ze, who arrived shortly after, felt a sense of relief mixed with complex emotions.
He had originally thought that his tactical arrangements would allow him to capture these grasslanders in one swift move and finally feel triumphant.
However, he hadn’t expected his tactics to go awry at a crucial point.
Burigude almost escaped again, and in the end, it was Luo Ji who charged in to clean up…
At the same time, Luo Ji’s arrival, like a divine force, astonished Bai Ze to the extreme.
Logically speaking, how could Luo Ji, coming from behind, have bypassed him?
Both the distance and speed made it incredible to him.
Bai Ze, whose mood was quite complicated at the moment, clearly wouldn’t ask Luo Ji this question.
Even if he did, Luo Ji wouldn’t know how to answer him.
He couldn’t possibly tell him, “Actually, I arrived ages ago, but I was just watching the show from the sidelines. Once I saw you were about to mess up, I activated the ‘Speed is of the Essence in War’ tactic, marched rapidly, and took a shortcut to come clean up,” could he?
He had just managed to get Bai Ze’s loyalty up to 83 points, and what if it dropped after saying that?
Regardless, with Burigude’s submission, things here could temporarily conclude.
However, Luo Ji, having just arrived, obviously couldn’t immediately return to Mirror Tribe that same day.
He would at least need to stay for two days.
While letting his soldiers adjust their condition, he would also take the opportunity to inspect the situation at Wild Horse Tribe.
To be honest, he had never personally inspected Wild Horse Tribe since its establishment.
The advance party had clearly already informed Sun Li of Luo Ji’s arrival.
Riding along, Luo Ji saw Sun Li standing outside the tribe, ready to greet him, from a long distance away.
Upon seeing the light cavalry unit led by Luo Ji approach, Sun Li quickly stepped forward two paces.
Then he bowed in salute.
“Your subordinate Sun Li respectfully greets the Leader!”
Luo Ji, accustomed to this, raised his hand, signaling Sun Li not to be overly formal.
He then led his troops into Wild Horse Tribe.
The Speed is of the Essence in War tactic consumed a significant amount of stamina.
Having made two rapid marches today, Luo Ji and his group were both hungry and tired.
After eating the food Sun Li had prepared, he went directly back to his tent and fell asleep, deciding to deal with anything else tomorrow.
He slept straight until dawn.
Because he was so tired, he also overlooked the relatively simple conditions of Wild Horse Tribe.
Awakening, Luo Ji slowly stretched his stiff body.
Then, after breakfast, he met with Batu, the chieftain of that grasslander tribe.
That Batu was also sensible.
Upon learning that his son Burigude had submitted, he knew that his side no longer had the strength to resist.
He acted decisively, saving Luo Ji a lot of trouble.
The weak obeying the strong is an unchangeable truth in this world, and this concept is particularly evident among grasslander tribes.
The submission of the first grasslander tribe was undoubtedly beneficial for the development of Wild Horse Tribe.
After all, these native grasslanders were more familiar with this area than Bai Ze, and it also gave Luo Ji a good start in establishing a bow cavalry unit…
At the same time, because he was too tired yesterday, Luo Ji hadn’t immediately checked Burigude’s attribute panel.
However, a character who could fight Bai Ze to such a degree, he thought, would not disappoint him…
[Name: Burigude
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Status: Minor injury
Loyalty: 70
Bravery: ★★★★
Intelligence: ★★★
Spirit: ★★☆
Endurance: ★★★☆
Leadership: ★★★☆
Talent: Prairie Eagle: In mounted archery state, combat power increases by 80%
Skills: Hunt (Passive): When pursuing prey or enemies, movement speed increases by 20%, combat power increases by 40%
Expert Horsemanship and Archery (Passive): When riding a mount and using bow-type weapons, overall combat power increases by 40%
Tactics: None]
After quickly reviewing Burigude’s attribute panel, Luo Ji felt a surge of secret joy.
Burigude indeed did not disappoint him.
Although no single attribute reached the 5-star maximum, the point was that his overall growth was high.
His total star rating reached 18 stars!
Only 1 star less than Bai Ze.
Just based on this attribute panel, he was already fully capable of joining the ranks of top-tier fierce generals!
Luo Ji was increasingly able to appreciate the importance of overall growth lately, especially for military commanders who needed to lead troops into battle.
This was truly a demanding profession.
It wasn’t to say that if your Bravery reached 5-stars, you would definitely be a divine general.
To give a simple example, if your Bravery is 5-tars, but your Intelligence and Leadership are only 2-stars, would I dare let you lead troops out?
3-stars is just the qualified line for leading troops, only considered a good general.
In comparison, a fierce general with both Valor and Leadership at 4-stars is reassuring just to think about.
They are completely capable of being independent, major general-level presences.
Under this premise, if Intelligence could also reach 4-stars, then that would truly be a divine general!
The gap between game and reality was once again evident, in real warfare, it’s not about excelling in just one single attribute.
Luo Ji was satisfied with Burigude, or rather, super satisfied.
In comparison, Burigude’s father, Batu, had an attribute panel that was not as brilliant as his son’s.
Bravery at 4-stars, Leadership and Intelligence at 3-stars, a typical good general panel.
Regardless, the commander for his future bow cavalry unit was practically decided.
It was just that his loyalty still needed to be boosted when an opportunity arose.
Since he was to lead troops, seventy points of loyalty were a bit too low.
It would need to reach eighty points or above to be safe.
But before that, he would first let Batu lead his people to take over all the remaining tribesmen from their tribe.
Luo Ji would also take this opportunity to inspect the development of Wild Horse Tribe.
Sun Li originally wanted to follow, but Luo Ji dismissed him with a few words, telling him to quickly go back and prepare for receiving new populations.
Although he hadn’t interviewed them individually yet, Luo Ji estimated that the talents of those grasslanders would most likely be in herding, mounted archery, and such.
There would be no suitable work arrangements for them back in Mirror Tribe.
It would be better to keep them directly at Wild Horse Tribe.
At the same time, since he was going to establish a bow cavalry unit, and he didn’t have the time and energy to slowly train them, he could only acquire existing ones.
Attacking other grasslander tribes was unavoidable.
Once battle began, the population of Wild Horse Tribe would surely increase rapidly, and expanding the tribal scale also became an urgent matter.
In other words, in the coming months, Sun Li was likely to be very busy…
