Chapter 112: Long-term Planning
The Fifth Xuan reflected on why he always rejected the witch instead of the chief first. Was it his own prejudice or some other reason?
After thinking about it, he came to the conclusion: because he always had high hopes for the witch.
The witch was the bridge for him to communicate with the tribe. Even if the sixth-generation chief seemed wise and courageous, he would not try to communicate with him, nor would he try to understand the world through himself.
The witches were different. They looked at the future of the tribe through totems. They guided the future of the tribe through totems.
With more expectations, there would naturally be more disappointments, and in the end, resentment would inevitably arise.
When the sixth-generation witch gave up his power to study totems, the Fifth Xuan was happy for him, but when he did not produce any results and foolishly persisted every day, the Fifth Xuan could not help feeling dissatisfied.
Such emotions, after learning that the Shaman of the Sand Tribe could communicate with the Totem, rose to a new level. For example, he would let the little turtle kick the Sixth Generation Shaman for no reason.
This was a simple and direct expression of dissatisfaction, but he underestimated the Sixth Generation Shaman's thick skin after giving up power. It was really as thick as a city wall.
He actually misinterpreted that this was the Totem's love and praise for him. Otherwise, with so many people, look at the old man Totem's mount, who has he kicked?
The Fifth Xuan sneered at this, but the little turtle took it in.
"You mean... I'm the mount?"
So without the Fifth Xuan's instruction, the little turtle kicked many more times privately.
These episodes are all trivial matters. The Fifth Xuan's recent focus is on the Sixth Generation Leader's handling of the war.
At a meeting regarding the Dragon Tribe’s invasion, he proposed a new term: war drill.
He first analyzed the teams participating in this battle: Fire Tribe Yin Yang Totem Warriors, Five Hundred Warriors, Sand Tribe Totem Warriors, Sun Totem Warriors, Moon Totem Warriors, and Wolf Totem Warriors. With
so many types of totem warriors, the size of the team has exceeded that of the enemy, which is good news, but how many spiritual weapons the enemy has is still unknown.
There is no conclusion on how the tribes can unite to fight, and if they rashly go to war with the enemy, it is likely that they will fight on their own, disrupting the battlefield, and end up in a draw or even a narrow defeat.
Such arguments were first sneered at by the Moon Totem leader. After becoming a Spirit Totem Warrior and armed with a bloodthirsty gun, she now has a bad temper and has a tendency to challenge the position of the Sixth Generation Leader.
In this regard, the Sixth Generation Leader has not confronted her head-on due to the war being imminent, but the Moon Totem Warriors' increasingly arrogant attitude has caused more and more dissatisfaction.
This issue is not the focus for the time being. The Sixth Generation Leader still handled the dissatisfaction of the Moon Totem Leader very smoothly.
He simply held a martial arts performance, which made everyone realize the seriousness of the problem.
First, there was the 500-man team that had expanded to 1,000 people. Their fighting style was perfect, and the coordination of bows, spears, short spears, shieldmen, and spearmen was dazzling.
After their martial arts performance, the six-generation leader sent out 500 Yin-Yang Totem warriors to cooperate with them and demonstrated again.
The originally neat and orderly formation became chaotic because of the addition of the 500 Yin-Yang Totem warriors who didn't know how to coordinate.
The archers didn't dare to shoot arrows rashly, because their comrades would use their backs to receive the arrows, and the short spears didn't dare to shoot rashly.
The shieldmen were rushed to pieces by their comrades, and the meaning of the formation had been lost. The entire battlefield was noisy and disorderly, and no matter how the leader controlled the team, it couldn't play the rhythm it should.
"We request to fight alone."
After the martial arts performance, the leader of the five hundred people asked the six-generation leader.
"This is the problem, and cooperation with the wolf tribe totem warriors will be even more difficult."
The six-generation leader did not answer his request, but let the wolf tribe totem warriors perform martial arts.
The wolf tribe totem warriors with bows and arrows jumped on their giant wolf mounts one after another. More than 3,000 wolf cavalrymen charged, and arrows fell like rain. The scene was both beautiful and magnificent, but everyone's mouths twitched. When shooting
arrows while riding on a giant wolf, the general direction can be controlled, but it is impossible to shoot accurately.
In this case, if you rashly cooperate with the wolf cavalry, it may be that more of your own people will die than the enemy. How can the leaders feel at ease?
"My team, let's demonstrate it once, too." The leader of the Sand Tribe spoke up immediately.
He already understood what the Sixth Chief meant, and he also wanted to show the differences of his warriors to avoid problems among his comrades due to lack of understanding.
The Sixth Chief readily agreed, and then the Sand Tribe warriors went out. They stood on the snow, and instead of attacking directly, they jointly released the power of the totem.
As the power of the totem was released, the stones and sand on the ground were blown up, mixed with snowflakes, covering the entire team together, making it difficult to see the inside clearly.
"Is this how the Sand Tribe fights?"
Looking at the team moving forward like a blizzard, the Sixth Chief asked in surprise.
"There is a lot of yellow sand in the desert. Normally, we raise sand and dust, not snowflakes. When the enemy enters our team, they will not be suitable for such a visual environment. We assassinate the enemy in the sand and dust, which is very effective."
The leader of the Sand Tribe frowned, looking at the blizzard team in front of him, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and added.
"The sand and dust we raise can be sensed by ourselves, so in the sand and dust, the enemy is blind, but we are not, but in the blizzard... we are also blind." It was
freezing cold, and it was difficult to raise sand and dust. The mixed snowflakes would also float into the air. They could feel the sand and dust and judge the enemy through the sand and dust, but the snowflakes could not.
In this way, the snowflakes are equivalent to losing their sight for them. The advantages they had in the past are no longer there. It is even possible that their weak individual combat ability will give the enemy a greater advantage.
"This is really not a battlefield suitable for us." The leader of the Sand Tribe concluded.
"The strongest weapon of our tribe now is the bow and arrow, which requires cooperation." The leader of the Ritu Totem said with pursed lips.
The display of the Ritu Totem warriors was quite standard, but their close combat ability... let's not talk about it.
"My tribe is best at close combat and can protect the Sun Totem Warriors." The Moon Totem leader swung the bloodthirsty gun in his hand and said arrogantly.
The subsequent display of the Moon Totem Warriors also illustrated this point. Warriors using long guns have many more changes in close combat flexibility than warriors using spears, and their assault and defense capabilities have increased to a certain extent.
The sixth-generation leader nodded, and finally his eyes met with the leader of the Sand Tribe. Both of them saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Close combat expertise, long-range combat expertise, battle formation expertise, mobility expertise, blizzard and other anti-damage capabilities... So many different warriors gathered together, if something goes wrong, not only will the enemy not be hurt, but their own people will start to mess up first.
"Everything needs to be considered... in the long run." The sixth generation leader sighed.
