Chapter 100 The Current Situation

In this era, battles between tribes were always fought directly without any tricks.

At this moment, the confidant on the side couldn't understand why the leader, who was chatting and chatting with his buddies just a moment ago, suddenly turned against them?

"What about sending them pheasants?"

"Send it to him."

Good guy, even more confused! But since it was their leader's order, he didn't bother to think too much and just did it.

They are all on the same mountain, and the main camp can only be as far away from the camp at the foot of the mountain.

Here, the biggest problem affecting mobility efficiency is the difficulty of mountain roads, and there are no good mountain roads on the mountain, which greatly reduces mobility efficiency.

Wang Luchong certainly knew this problem, but paving a mountain road is not such an easy task.

Normal road paving is a huge project, let alone a steep mountain road.

Even if you just lay it casually, it will take a lot of time, energy, and labor!

They certainly know the importance of paving the way.

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

But in this era, taking Zhou Xu and his people as an example, the limited manpower is used to maintain the "survival" of the tribe, and there is no room for more people to do things like "paving the road".

The tribe is short of manpower, which makes them completely trapped in a closed loop. If they want to "pave the way", they must first break this closed loop.

To achieve this, they first need more manpower and more food.

As it was approaching noon, the opposite tribe sent a batch of pheasants over.

Although Zhou Xu brought some salt on this expedition, the salt was basically enough for their daily use and was definitely not enough for trading.

Therefore, according to what he said at the time, the specific transaction could wait until later, and then they could trade face to face.

But Wang Luchong insisted on sending a batch of pheasants first to show his sincerity.

At the same time, he hoped that Zhou Xu could release his tribal members. Obviously, this was the point.

During this period, there was no mention of asking Zhou Xu to exchange the camp.

The other party should also know that returning the prisoners is easy, but asking Zhou Xu to hand over the camp that he had conquered with great effort would probably be difficult.

So Wang Luchong simply didn't mention this matter.

Now, this batch of pheasants was brought to his eyes. After a rough count, there were about a dozen of them.

Although a dozen pheasants are nothing to a large tribe that can mobilize more than a hundred people as fighting force, it is enough to show his sincerity.

In addition, the cooperation had already been agreed upon in the morning. Unless Zhou Xu wanted to directly break up with the other party, he would not let this guy go.

"Let him go."

After the order was given, Zhou Xu's men acted quickly and released the prisoners quickly.

"Chief, is this the end of the matter?"

Looking at the other tribe member who took the captives and turned away, standing next to Zhou Xu, Zhou Chongshan couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Zhou Xu spread his hands without comment, and then threw the question to Li Ce.

"Li Ce, what do you think about this matter?"

In response to this, Li Ce said after a brief thought...

"The enemy does have a lot of soldiers. If a fight breaks out, we won't be afraid of them, but we will suffer heavy casualties. It's hard to say who will win or lose. It would be best if we can resolve the battle easily like this."

In response to Li Ce's words, Zhou Xu laughed.

"I don't want to hear this kind of objective statement that anyone with a little bit of common sense can see. Don't you have any ideas yourself?"

“…”

After a brief three seconds of silence, Li Ce slowly opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.

"Although it is a wise decision for both sides not to fight, it does not rule out the possibility that the other side will still take action."

"reason?"

"If I were the leader of the other side, I would definitely not want the existence of other tribes in this mountain, not to mention that this tribe has the strength to threaten me and is so close to me!"

Having said this, Li Ce paused.

"So we must not be careless!"

How can I allow others to sleep peacefully beside my bed? Although Li Ce's words were crude, they were true and to the point.

Even though Wang Luchong treated him as a brother and buddy from the beginning, it was impossible for Zhou Xu to be so foolish as to believe him completely.

If the other party does not want to fight with him, he doesn't mind exchanging supplies first, and then occupying this camp near the foot of the mountain for a while.

Obviously, the longer he stays here, the better it will be for him.

"Well said. If the other side doesn't want to fight, then we can use this camp as a base and gain a foothold here. If the other side wants to fight, then we must also be mentally prepared in advance."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although Zhou Chongshan's intelligence ceiling is also three stars, it is estimated that his intelligence is entirely focused on mastering and learning combat skills and the use of various weapons.

He is really not good at these complicated things.

But there was one thing he understood clearly, which was that the other party might not have good intentions.

"So, Chief, what do we want now?"

"Take a good rest and stay calm in the face of ever-changing situations."

Zhou Xu sat down as he spoke.

"We have already made all the necessary preparations before daybreak. If the other party really wants to take action, he will definitely not wait until dark, because it will be disadvantageous to him after dark. Just wait and see, he will not let us wait too long."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu closed his eyes slightly.

He hadn't had a good rest for the whole night and morning, and a look of sleepiness inevitably appeared on his face.

Considering the possible fighting in the afternoon, we had to rest quickly.

He closed his eyes and soon started snoring.

Faced with this situation, Li Ce and Zhou Chongshan exchanged glances and looked at each other in confusion.

Their leader is really careless. How can he sleep at a time like this?

To some extent, Li Ce also admired him in his heart.

At this moment, although he appeared to be calm and clear-headed on the surface, analyzing the situation logically, only he knew the tension in his heart.

Are you kidding me? There are more than a hundred soldiers on the other side!

When he first ruled the mountain, he had only fifty or sixty soldiers under his command.

And his tribe is already considered a large one.

He had never seen a tribe with more than a hundred warriors before.

The reason is simple, they can’t be supported!

With so many people, a lot of food would be consumed every day. A normal primitive tribe simply cannot support so many people, so the tribes, big and small, are usually only a few dozen people at most.

In this way, time passed quietly, and as the sun moved in the sky, the sky gradually turned yellow, telling them that it was approaching evening.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the camp.

"Chief, Chief! A large force is approaching us!"
