Chapter 25: Fluctuations in Loyalty (Part 1)

At this moment, Luo Yong, holding dual axes and wearing a wolf bone mask, was simply a complete monster.

In that instant he leaped down from above, a strong sense of oppression mixed with the fear of the unknown instantly weighed down on everyone’s hearts.

Almost making it impossible for them to breathe!

“Monsters, those monsters have caught up!!”

“Run, hurry up and run!”

“What are those things?! Stay away from us!”

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

For several consecutive days, the life of displacement and sleeping in the open had already left the members of the Red Fox Tribe with low morale.

At this moment, the attack of the Wolf Warriors instantly pushed their already dispirited spirits to the brink of collapse!

There was simply no way to escape.

Why did the Wolf Warriors, who had been closely following the three barbarians, only appear now?

It was simple.

After roughly confirming the location of the Red Fox Tribe.

Luo Ji had decisively chosen to outflank them.

Directly going around to the back of the Red Fox Tribe’s temporary stronghold.

They were just waiting for Luo Ji’s command to instantly leap down from the hillside.

Taking the high ground advantage and cutting off the Red Fox Tribe’s escape route!

A drop of cold sweat trickled down the Red Fox Tribe leader’s face.

He was completely frozen in place, his mind blank.

Facing these unknown monsters that defied his common sense, he completely lost his usual calmness and composure.

Luo Ji was not in a hurry to attack.

Although he could not view the enemy units’ attribute panels, anyone could see that the Red Fox Tribe’s morale had collapsed.

He did not mind if the other party simply walked towards self-destruction, allowing him to take in these 20-plus people without shedding blood.

However, reality was clearly not that smooth, and a small unexpected event soon occurred…

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!”

A hoarse roar came from a barbarian warrior of the Red Fox Tribe.

The other party clearly did not want to sit and wait for death and decided to fight to the death.

However, unfortunately for him, the barbarian warrior who planned to break through and fight to the death happened to pick Luo Yong.

The worst possible opponent, which was a dead end!

Facing the enemy tribal warrior charging towards him, beneath the wolf bone mask, Luo Yong’s expression was somewhat indifferent.

The opponent was clearly in disarray, full of openings, simply a pathetic sight.

With this level of strength, let alone the Wolf Warriors present.

Any warrior casually picked from their tribe could easily knock this guy to the ground.

He did not strike with killing intent, and he did not even use the stone axe in his hand.

After all, he knew the importance of population resources in this era.

After easily dodging the opponent’s attack, Luo Yong raised his leg and kicked.

With a heavy thud, he directly kicked the barbarian warrior attempting to break through back into the Red Fox Tribe’s crowd.

All of this happened too quickly.

Looking at the tribal warrior lying on the ground, who had essentially lost the ability to fight, the Red Fox Tribe leader’s breathing faltered.

The sliver of hope in his heart was extinguished before it even had a chance to rise.

As for the other members of the tribe, they were all struck dumb with fear, the overwhelming difference in strength making them feel despair.

Seeing that the situation was almost settled, Luo Ji, also wearing a wolf bone mask, slowly walked out from the side.

He wasted no words.

Having his peaceful life disturbed, he was currently a little irritable, and even his tone carried a hint of unkindness.

“Choose, surrender or death!”

Falling into the hands of a group of monsters, the members of the former Red Fox Tribe had already despaired.

Now, hearing that there was still a way to survive, what else was there to choose?

They all threw away the weapons in their hands and expressed their surrender.

[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully annexing the Red Fox Tribe. You have gained 100 civilization points and 1 military point. Tribal population increased by 26 people.]

Successfully annexing the Red Fox Tribe was within expectations, and Luo Ji was not very surprised.

However, earning a military point in the process made his mood slightly better.

Without hesitation, he directly upgraded the ‘Military Training’ project to Level 1.

Afterward, on the way back to Mirror Tribe escorting these 26 people, he naturally could not help but check the attribute panels of these new people.

After this round of checking, Luo Ji’s expression immediately darkened.

“How can their loyalty be so low?”

After checking them all, the person with the highest loyalty was actually the Red Fox Tribe leader, reaching 71 points, while the loyalty of the remaining 25 people was only a little over 60 points.

This meant that these people could rebel at any time!

A hint of disbelief flashed in Luo Ji’s eyes.

Was his ‘Ruler’ effect not working? Impossible, the system notification had clearly stated that the Red Fox Tribe had been annexed by him.

This meant that these 26 people should already be affected by his ‘Ruler’ talent.

Based on this premise, if their loyalty remained so low, it could only indicate that their initial loyalty was abysmal, only just reaching the minimum after the default 10 points were applied.

“How could this happen?”

This answer was truly disheartening.

Luo Ji’s brow furrowed as if he realized something.

Then, to confirm his guess, he raised his hand and removed the wolf bone mask from his face.

At that moment, the Red Fox Tribe members who had been secretly observing the situation all showed stunned expressions, and each of their faces revealed clear surprise.

“So you are human?”

The person who blurted out this sentence was the Red Fox Tribe leader.

“Nonsense!”

Luo Ji rolled his eyes slightly, annoyed.

“Who told you we aren’t human?”

Facing this rhetorical question, the former Red Fox Tribe leader was momentarily speechless, unsure what to say.

But no matter what, upon learning that the other party were not man-eating monsters, everyone in their hearts felt a sense of relief.

Seeing these subtle changes in expression, Luo Ji quickly opened the attribute panels of a few more people to confirm.

Their loyalty had indeed increased, but the increase was not significant, only rising by 1 or 2 points. They would still rebel when the time came…

This left Luo Ji a bit confused.

He had initially thought that the reason for such low loyalty was their terrifying monster-like appearance, but now it seemed that while it had some impact, it was not the main reason.

This situation made Luo Ji’s brow furrow deeper and deeper, and it also plunged him into a deeper level of thought.

“Where did the problem occur?”

With this doubt, Luo Ji’s gaze constantly swept over the members of the Red Fox Tribe, as if trying to discern something from them.

As he scanned the Red Fox Tribe leader, his expression suddenly froze.

“Could it be that the reason lies with this guy?”
