Chapter 40: Luo Ji’s Goal
The loyalty of these barbarians was unexpectedly high.
The youth’s defeat didn’t seem to dampen their morale, but it instead ignited their fury.
After all, the opponent had the advantage in numbers.
Facing the barbarians who swarmed them at once, Luo Ji frowned slightly, and he immediately activated his ‘Inspire Morale’ skill.
“Luo Yong! Don’t prolong the fight, fall back first!”
Although the stone spears and stone axes in the hands of these barbarians were poorly imitated and not numerous, it was undeniable that their threat had increased.
As one of the tribe’s most important combat forces, and the only warrior with a 4 star maximum ‘Bravery.’
Luo Ji had no intention of risking Luo Yong when victory was certain.
After all, from the perspective of individual combat power, Luo Yong was currently the only fierce general he had at his disposal.
However, what Luo Ji hadn’t expected was that as he was speaking.
A barbarian from the opposing tribe suddenly seized a gap and thrust his inferior stone spear towards him!
Facing this situation, the two wolf warriors closest to Luo Ji were instantly shocked.
“Chief, danger!!”
“What are you panicking for? Maintain your formation!”
He roared, he himself had a 3 star maximum ‘Bravery’ and wasn’t a weakling in combat.
Although he was nervous facing a surprise attack from an ordinary barbarian, he wasn’t so flustered that he lost his composure.
Knowing that the opponent’s weapon was inferior, a weakness as obvious as that, how could he let it go?
He had practiced a few moves over a period of time.
Seizing an opportunity, he swung the stone spear in his hand, hitting the opponent’s spearhead precisely.
The simple binding couldn’t withstand Luo Ji’s blow, and the entire spearhead immediately went crooked, and the opponent’s surprise attack consequently crumbled.
However, would Luo Ji just let him go like that?
Clearly not.
A hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes.
Maintaining the swinging motion of the spear, he directly initiated a follow-up pursuit.
He swung the stone spear quite skillfully.
After a series of thrusts, with a ‘splurt,’ the sharp spearhead pierced into the barbarian’s chest.
“Too shallow!”
Feeling the feedback in his hand, Luo Ji’s pupils contracted slightly.
His entire nervous system remained tense.
In the next second, an indescribable special sensation spread throughout his body.
His arms, gripping the stone spear, inexplicably swayed and trembled!
The already exhausted stone spear actually unleashed a second burst of power.
Accompanied by a scream, the sharp spearhead was forcibly driven another inch deeper, and a bright splatter of blood blossomed.
His skill ‘Weakness Pursuit’ actually triggered!
Luo Ji inwardly called himself ‘lucky.’
After succeeding with one strike and knowing when to stop, he took a step back.
With a push from his arms, the stone spear in his hand pulled out, trailing a splatter of blood.
In the meantime, the other two wolf warriors also arrived in time.
Two stone spears, carrying killing intent, pierced the now pale barbarian almost simultaneously, mercilessly taking his life.
However, this was just the beginning.
The equally enraged barbarians did not retreat because of the death of a companion but instead, they swarmed forward like madmen.
At this moment, even the exceptionally strong wolf warriors felt noticeable pressure.
On the other side, seeing this situation, Luo Yong had no intention of continuing to fight that youth.
He swung his two stone axes repeatedly and charged back to Luo Ji’s side, relying on his ‘Bravery’ that had soared to 4 stars.
Then he glared fiercely at the two derelict wolf warriors.
“I’ll settle the score with you two later!”
The situation temporarily fell into a stalemate.
Luo Ji’s gaze swept over the youth standing within the camp.
To be honest, that youth made him feel a sense of threat.
“Luo Yong, are you confident you can kill him?”
Luo Yong clearly knew who ‘he’ in Luo Ji’s words referred to.
After a moment of thought, he quickly replied.
“It’s not easy.”
“They have a lot of people.”
Hearing this, Luo Ji nodded.
Luo Yong’s meaning was very clear.
If he wanted to kill that youth, the other barbarians would definitely rush up to interfere, and they, being at a disadvantage in numbers, would find it difficult to effectively stop them.
At that point, he would not be facing just one enemy, but a group of enemies.
“Then retreat. Anyway, the objective has been achieved!”
Retreating as soon as he said it, with Luo Yong leading the way, and their strong desire to leave.
Those barbarians couldn’t stop them at all.
In just a few breaths, they had already broken out of the opponent’s camp.
Looking at the eight retreating figures, the barbarians, whose blood was boiling at the moment, subconsciously wanted to give chase but were stopped by the youth who called out.
“Don’t chase, everyone come back!”
He had to stop them.
The opponent’s strength was obvious, they simply couldn’t defeat them.
Their only advantage was numbers.
In this situation, if they chased, their advantage of being a group would not be obvious.
After running for a distance, Luo Ji looked back, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
“Huh? They didn’t chase after us.”
Seeing their enraged appearance earlier, Luo Ji had thought that those barbarians would be too hot-blooded and would chase after them.
At that point, throughout the chase, considering everyone’s stamina and running speed, the battle line would definitely be stretched.
The opponents couldn’t stay in a group, and even with more people, they couldn’t pose a threat to the wolf warriors who had an advantage in individual strength.
However, the current situation clearly didn’t go as Luo Ji had wished.
Retreating all the way back to the temporary camp, Luo Yong, who had been holding it in the whole way, immediately exploded.
“You two, how exactly were you protecting the chief?”
“You couldn’t even stop someone like that?!”
Facing Luo Yong’s questioning, the two wolf warriors did not refute.
With lowered heads, they were clearly immersed in deep self-blame.
“Please punish us, Chief!”
“Alright.”
Luo Ji waved his hand, not particularly concerned about this situation.
After all, they didn’t have the advantage in numbers, and even if every wolf warrior’s individual combat ability was outstanding.
They couldn’t cover all bases when facing fewer against more.
However, looking at it from another perspective, these two wolf warriors were indeed responsible for protecting his safety during this operation, and they had indeed failed in their duty.
If there was no punishment, wouldn’t he be breaking his own rule of ‘rewarding merit and punishing fault?’
How could he convince others in the future?
Thinking of this, Luo Ji already had an idea.
He slowly spoke.
“Considering the current situation, the punishment will be postponed for now. After this operation ends, your training volume will be doubled for one month!”
“Yes!”
Looking at the two who readily agreed, Luo Ji nodded, then glanced towards the direction of that tribe, and his expression immediately took on a hint of playfulness.
“After this round of attack, they will most likely fear us attacking again.”
“Considering the safety of the tribe, the warriors will definitely choose to stay and defend, unable to go out hunting.”
“Without food supply, they’ll starve.”
“Let’s see how long they can last!”
