Chapter 98: Singing the Same Song

It turns out that he came to persuade Li Ce to mend his ways.

But think about it, after they surrendered, they ate well and slept well every day, and the new tribe was also very powerful.

To a certain extent, from their perspective, they came to persuade Li Ce to surrender, perhaps out of kindness.

But now Li Ce obviously does not want to accept this favor.

Judging from the number of people alone, although the enemy has more than a hundred soldiers, they may not be able to come out in full force.

Don't forget that when a tribe has multiple camps, in order to ensure the safety of multiple camps, limited military forces must be dispersed.

If the other side wants to forcibly gather all its forces to fight them, that is of course possible.

But this move itself would be very risky. If something went wrong, for example, during the battle with them, his camp on the other side was attacked by other enemies, then his camp would be vulnerable.

Of course, even if we leave this point aside, if they really compete in military strength, they may not be afraid of each other now.

In terms of numbers, although they only have more than fifty people, don't forget that they also have fifty skeleton soldiers!

The inherent advantages of the skeleton soldiers, coupled with the reinforcement of their leader's mantra, make these fifty skeleton soldiers undoubtedly the core combat force of their tribe.

Not to mention that their leader now has the hyena skeleton to use as a killer weapon.

If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

Regarding the combat power situation of both sides in this wave, Zhou Xu undoubtedly thought the same.

But even so, it could not change the fact that the combat power in the opponent's hands was completely beyond his expectations.

Should I say, he is truly a time traveler like him?

He monopolized the resources of the entire mountain and became the king of the mountain. Now he is doing very well.

In the current situation, Zhou Xu is not afraid of the opponent, but the problem now is that once the two sides engage in battle, since the scale of each side cannot be underestimated, even if he can win in the end, he is likely to pay a very heavy price in casualties.

Although there are wars that break out due to hatred in this world, for most rulers, fighting is ultimately for the sake of interests.

If you end up spending more than you earn after a battle, then why did you start the battle? Are you bored? After learning about the size of the enemy, Zhou Xu's fighting spirit really faded a little.

But now, most of his troops were already in this camp, and even though his will to fight had faded, he had no intention of withdrawing his troops.

Apart from anything else, this mountain camp itself is valuable to him.

The surrounding environment allows him to obtain many resources unique to the mountains, further enriching the resources in his hands.

Besides, compared to the centaurs and hyenas whom he didn't want to fight at all, he at least had the confidence to compete with the tribe in front of him.

At a time when the tribe’s development is in a dilemma and they have to find a breakthrough anyway, this is the best option at this stage.

Just as Zhou Xu was weighing the pros and cons and thinking about this matter in his mind, time passed quietly, and before he knew it, a hint of paleness had appeared in the distant sky.

After taking a breath of the morning mountain air, Zhou Xu stood up and stretched his muscles.

Then he looked around and he could clearly feel how solemn the atmosphere in the camp was.

This pressure undoubtedly comes from the upcoming enemy.

There is a high probability that the enemy will attack after daybreak. After all, this is a matter concerning the lives of all of them, so Zhou Xu must make deployments in advance.

This naturally made everyone know the news, causing psychological pressure, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

During this time, seeing their leader standing up with a serious face, the tribal warriors gathered in this camp were already ready. As long as their leader gave the order, they would immediately rush out and fight a bloody battle with the enemy.

They were already prepared, and at this moment, the expressions in their eyes seemed to be saying, "Leader, please give the order!"

At the same time, their leader seemed to have received their signal. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes...

"It looks like everyone is ready!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes showed determination. They gripped their weapons tightly and stood up.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good! Let's have breakfast then!"

"WOW!!!!"

At that moment, the atmosphere was undoubtedly set just right, and the crowd, inspired, roared like a war cry, not even realizing at the first moment that there seemed to be something strange in what their leader said.

It was not until they were halfway through yelling that they slowly reacted.

"Um wait, did I just hear 'eat breakfast'?"

“I think I heard it too…”

"Me too."

“…”

With doubts in their hearts, everyone in the camp looked at Zhou Xu.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this moment, after shouting "eat breakfast", Zhou Xu completely ignored the other people around him. He sat down happily and took out a package from his body.

The package contained a few palm-sized pieces of dried fish, which was the main dry food for their expedition.

After taking it out, Zhou Xu started to eat breakfast properly.

My goodness, this has completely confused everyone.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do for a moment, Li Ce sat down aside and shouted while taking out the dry food he had on him.

"The leader is right! How can we have the energy to fight if we don't fill our stomachs first?! It's time to have breakfast!"

At this moment, everyone felt that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

"What about breakfast?"

"Eat breakfast, eat breakfast!"

Invisibly, the solemn atmosphere that originally enveloped the entire camp was swept away.

During this time, Li Ce, who was sitting next to them, was chewing on the dried fish in his hand while looking at their leader with eyes full of admiration.

[The leader's thinking is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. I almost couldn't react.]

Little did he know that while he was thinking this, Zhou Xu was also extremely satisfied with his performance just now.

The atmosphere in the camp was too depressing just now. In that situation, how much effect would it have if you said a few meaningless words like "calm down" and "don't be nervous"?

So he simply took a simpler and more brutal approach and directly disrupted the atmosphere.

At this point, everyone was no longer able to deal with him, and their entire attention was diverted. The original atmosphere had dissipated invisibly, and Zhou Xu's goal had actually been achieved.

Of course, at this time, it would be even better if someone else could sing the same tune with him and respond to the previous wave.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chongshan failed to react. Among this group of people, the only one who reacted in time and responded to him was Li Ce.

It is not difficult to see from this that Li Ce also has this awareness.

Knowing how to adjust the atmosphere within the troops so that subordinates can face the battle in a better state is also an important part of the ability to command troops.

Now it seems that the 'Four-Star God of War' he identified has begun to slowly show his abilities.

Afterwards, just as he expected, he didn't have to wait too long. Less than an hour after dawn, the opposing large army had already appeared near the camp!
