The man was locked up for three days, given only enough food to keep him from starving to death, and then it was another sunny but very cold day.
Lin Xiaoman came for another loyalty test.
There are 278 people in this group. There are relatively few elderly people and children, and most of them are young people who can run fast.
After three days of tireless brainwashing and chicken soup feeding by the patriarch, the result was quite good. There were 1, 2, 3, 4... 65 people holding their heads and screaming!
Most of these 65 people are young and strong men.
Lin Xiaoman: Tsk, Chief Jie’s MLM brainwashing skills are not good enough!
She had to find some time to teach him.
The 213 people who truly surrendered became slaves of the Hu tribe and were still placed in that cave. The tribe leader's wife distributed supplies and food, which slightly improved their quality of life. Although the food was still unpalatable, at least they could eat their fill.
Chief Jie continued to give people chicken soup, saying that as long as they made meritorious contributions, they could escape slavery, become members of the tribe, and enjoy the treatment of tribe members!
As for the 65 unqualified people who were either loyal to the Ling tribe or had other ulterior motives, they were locked up in a small cave.
After leaving the two of them cold and hungry, Lin Xiaoman went to the detention cave in person. He first threatened them, frightening them all to the ground. Then he punished them with a stick and a date, brainwashing them with the words "Follow me, you will have a bright future", and called it a day.
The Jie tribe leader, who was learning on the spot, said that he had learned it. Then, in the next few days, it was the Jie tribe leader's beating show, beating these 65 rebellious troublemakers one by one. Finally, "Do you want to be as powerful as me? Following our Qingwu Lord is the wisest choice..." The whole process was filled with flattery for Lin Xiaoman.
Five days later, after another loyalty assessment, 58 out of 65 people truly surrendered, while the remaining 7 were still hypocritical and had other intentions, and were punished by the totem stone.
If you still have bad intentions after a second chance, then you will be killed.
The Jie clan leader showed no mercy and single-handedly challenged seven of them, killing them all. This action was not only to make an example of others but also to show off his own strength.
After the ceremony, Lin Xiaoman once again announced that a warrior awakening would be carried out. Whether they were tribesmen or slaves, everyone could participate, and this time twenty places were directly released.
The tribe once again started a fierce competition...
On the third day after the awakening competition began, Warrior Li and his group, who were responsible for gathering information from the Ling tribe, returned.
Warrior Li brought back news that the Ling Tribe's territory had been occupied by a group of people, presumably from the Rui Tribe. According to their observations, the enemy numbered around 200, of whom 70 or 80 were young women, apparently slaves captured from the Ya and Ling Tribes.
As for how many soldiers there are, it is difficult to determine.
At present, they are recuperating in the territory of the Ling tribe. At present, there seems to be no sign of attacking other tribes.
Their Hu tribe is closest to the Ling tribe. If the people of the Rui tribe have rested, their Hu tribe will definitely be their next target. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to... strike first!
He who strikes first gains the advantage, and he who strikes later will suffer the consequences!
As for how to start?
Lin Xiaoman has a great idea.
After finding a few former leaders of the Ling tribe and asking them carefully, Lin Xiaoman found out the location of the water source within the Ling tribe.
Well, go ahead and poison him.
Poison magic is definitely Lin Xiaoman's livelihood skill, so during the vigorous vegetable search in the hot season, he also discovered some plants that were fine for dinosaurs to eat, but would cause adverse reactions for humans.
Some people may feel dizzy or have diarrhea after eating it.
Lin Xiaoman collected some and ground them into powder. Although the quantity was not much, he used it all, so it definitely worked.
As for how to poison?
Very simple.
Every tribe has one or two large puddles at their gathering place, where the entire tribe uses water. Although there are people guarding the puddles, it is inevitable that people will feel sleepy late at night.
There are two large water holes in the Ling tribe that provide water for the entire tribe.
After the plan was formulated, two first-level Dashan warriors and Li warrior set off with several junior warriors, several warriors from the former Ling tribe, and two large pottery jars of poison powder.
Three days later, the group returned and said that the poisoning was successful.
The competition for spots accelerated, and the top 20 were decided the next day, half of whom were slaves.
Lin Xiaoman held an awakening ceremony on the same day.
Because there were so many people and the magic power consumed was also high, Lin Xiaoman directly spent 50,000 magic powers. Fortunately, the result was quite good.
Twelve out of twenty people successfully awakened and became warriors.
Next, the patriarch made a pre-war mobilization and selected the participants.
The number of the opponent is about 120, and if we put out 200, our chances of winning are very high.
In order to prevent the nest from being attacked, it is very necessary to retain combat effectiveness in the tribe.
The Dashan warriors, the Li warriors, and the witch Lin Xiaoman all stayed behind in the tribe, while the Jie tribe leader led the troops into battle.
Chief Jie brought about 100 of his tribesmen, and the remaining 100 were newly joined slaves. They all took some dry food and set out the next day.
After two days of travel, they arrived at the gathering place of the Ling tribe, and the war began.
Because Chief Jie had made a big promise that slaves who had made contributions could escape from their slavery and obtain the status of tribe members, the original slaves were full of hatred towards the Rui tribe that had occupied their tribe. In addition, because of the success of the poisoning operation, most of the people in the Rui tribe were physically unwell and their combat effectiveness was halved.
The fighting lasted for a whole night, and under the leadership of Chief Jie, the Hu tribe won a great victory.
At the end of the battle, most of the Rui tribe were killed or wounded, and many escaped. There were about 40 people who survived. As for the women they captured, only a very few were unlucky enough to die under the swords, and most of them survived.
With his men, he carried the Ling tribe's grain reserves and returned in triumph, led by Chief Jie.
After returning to the tribe, Lin Xiaoman, who was the best at math, took inventory.
There were 200 people when they went there, more than 30 people from their tribe died, and the total number of prisoners of war and women was 114.
Summary: 84 more people.
The prisoners of war from the Rui tribe were directly imprisoned, while the women were first placed in slave caves and their original tribesmen did ideological work on them.
Three days later, there was another blood oath, and Lin Xiaoman came for a loyalty test.
All the women passed, but the prisoners of war from the Rui tribe were obviously more loyal to the Rui tribe. There were 42 people in total, and only 20 of them truly surrendered.
Lin Xiaoman just went through the motions and conducted a loyalty test, and the rest of the work was the patriarch's job.
Chief Jie made the distribution according to the situation. New women who originally belonged to the Ya tribe were directly given the status of ordinary tribe members, while those who originally belonged to the Ling tribe were made slaves.
There are still 22 prisoners of war. If they continue to be imprisoned, they will be disobedient. They will be fine after being starved for a few days...
