Chapter 91: The Invader
On the plains outside the Mirror Tribe’s forest, figures appeared out of thin air, revealing their forms and faces under the moonlight.
Dressed in leather armor and armed with stone spears, stone axes, and similar weapons, their considerable numbers made them appear formidable at first glance.
Standing at the forefront of this team was Wang Chao, a young man with slightly dark skin, appearing to be in his twenties.
He looked up at the night sky, then a sinister smile appeared on his face.
“What good luck, the time here is actually midnight.”
“This is perfect for a night raid on this unfamiliar newcomer!”
“Let’s help him accumulate some valuable life experience!”
As he spoke, Wang Chao waved his hand.
“Find it for me, their tribal camp should be nearby!”
Upon receiving the order, the warriors following him immediately dispersed.
This Wang Chao was clearly not invading other players for the first time, his warriors all appeared exceptionally skilled.
Within ten minutes, one of the warriors, holding a stone spear, quickly ran back to report to Wang Chao.
“Leader, light detected ahead. It should be the bonfire at their camp.”
Wang Chao could not help but chuckle.
“He’s indeed a rookie.”
“Lighting such a bright fire in the middle of the night, isn’t that clearly exposing his position?”
Wang Chao, now fully convinced that his opponent was a rookie, felt even more confident.
Under the cover of night, he led his men and stealthily approached the enemy camp.
“Heheheh…”
Pushing aside the bushes that obstructed his view, Wang Chao imagined the rookie’s panicked expression after being attacked.
He finally could not hold back, letting out a nasty laugh.
But as he looked up, the massive dark silhouette that came into view instantly stiffened the lewd smile on his face, leaving him dumbfounded.
“Damn it!”
“How is there a city wall?!”
Facing Wang Chao’s questioning, the warrior who had earlier spotted the firelight looked utterly innocent.
If not for respecting Wang Chao’s status as leader, he would have retorted, ‘You ask me, who should I ask?’
At this moment, the Mirror Tribe, illuminated by the moonlight, looked like a sleeping ancient behemoth!
It gave Wang Chao an intense sense of oppression.
One moment he thought he was facing a beautiful elementary school junior who he could tease at will, but the next moment, she transformed into a burly man with a chest full of hair!
This sudden turn in life came too quickly, causing Wang Chao’s mindset to explode for a moment.
“Damn it!”
“Did I not check the almanac before going out today?”
“Did I hit a wall?”
Wang Chao was a bit bewildered.
The number of ‘Civilization Rising’ players was neither too many nor too few.
Coupled with the tier restrictions, after playing in the same tier for a long time, he naturally knew which names on the player list were formidable characters, which were veterans, and which were scoundrels.
Among the unranked novice players, Wang Chao was not a seasoned veteran, but he had played many matches and had some experience.
When browsing the player list, he suddenly saw the name ‘Luo Ji.’
His first thought was that the name was unfamiliar since he had never seen it before!
When facing newly protected novice players, everyone was usually far from benevolent, with plenty of malice.
Do you want a few kilograms?
Who would not like the easy opportunity to snatch resources, get a high rating, and at least a silver treasure chest?
If it was a gold treasure chest, that would even be a huge profit.
If a world shard popped out of the treasure chest, it would truly be an instant rise to fame!
Thus, adhering to the golden rule of ‘first come, first served,’ everyone, while relying on their luck, also unleashed their arms, which they had trained for over a decade or two, bursting with hand speed.
They basically seized every opportunity they saw.
Being soft-hearted?
Protecting newcomers?
Non-existent!
Facing such torment, if you can endure, it’s your skill.
If not, it’s your fate!
Just accept it!
However, Wang Chao’s current situation was a clear case of being blind, mistaking a veteran for a newcomer.
After all, from a normal player’s perspective, a newcomer could not possibly build an ancient city wall within the 6-month novice protection period.
Not to mention newcomers, even some unranked veteran players had not built one yet, for example, the Wang Chao right in front of him.
“Should I fight or not?”
Looking at the Mirror Tribe with its towering ancient city wall, radiating an aura of ‘strength that discourages.’
Wang Chao felt a crushing frustration.
If he did not fight, he could only turn around and leave, run far away, endure seven days in this world, and then withdraw.
But if he did, the system would judge him as defeated as the invading party.
As a punishment for defeat, he would directly lose half of his civilization points, and gratuitously give the other party a bronze treasure chest, ultimately becoming a foolish delivery guy!
But if he fought, he had not brought a battering ram.
As an invading party, every extra soldier sent and every extra piece of military equipment brought cost civilization points!
Commonly known as military expenses.
The principle was simple, who goes to war without spending money?
And bringing a battering ram would cost 500 civilization points.
When he invaded, he thought that dealing with a rookie, he would not need a battering ram at all, and he also felt a bit pained by those 500 civilization points, so he did not bring it.
Now he was in trouble.
However, he was at least a veteran with plenty of invasion experience.
A siege was out of the question.
Without a siege equipment, attacking a city was equivalent to seeking death.
But from another perspective, he could guard this forest outside and wait for the people inside to come out.
Then he could launch an ambush, and withdraw immediately after.
This way, the system would record his achievements. When evaluated, he would not be judged as defeated, having successfully launched an ambush, and earning at least the worst bronze treasure chest would still be a good outcome.
After his mind calmed down, Wang Chao’s intelligence came back online, and he decisively settled on this plan for the invasion battle.
On the other side, inside the tribal camp, Luo Ji looked up at the dimly lit sky, a hint of bewilderment on his face.
“It’s been a whole night, how come that guy named Wang Chao hasn’t made any moves?
Did he get lost?
No way?
I’ve made the fire so bright, can’t he see it?”
After a few simple complaints, Luo Ji, who had slightly recovered, could not help but worry again.
“Did he run to the Black Rock Tribe?”
The Black Rock Tribe had no city wall.
Although he had sent five more wolf warriors to assist in defense as a precaution, if a real fight broke out, they probably would still not have a chance of winning.
This was why Luo Ji had made the bonfire so bright, deliberately exposing his position to attract the enemy here, precisely so they would not discover the existence of the Black Rock Tribe!
Thinking of this, a trace of unease inexplicably arose in Luo Ji’s heart.
“Calm down! Calm down.”
“Luo Jin is already at the Black Rock Tribe.”
“If the Black Rock Tribe was attacked last night, Luo Jin would definitely rush back overnight to request aid.”
“Since Luo Jin has not returned, it means the Black Rock Tribe is fine.”
