Chapter 106 Deep in the Mountains
After a night of adequate rest, Zhou Xu's mental state was obviously better the next morning. After breakfast, the group quickly moved to the main camp on the mountain.
There is no need to count the number of people who died in the previous battle. Just counting the number of people who are still alive and have surrendered, there are currently as many as 137 people, which is more than the total number of people in their original tribe.
At the same time, don't forget that at this moment, there are still many people hiding in various places in this forest. They are all those who fled after the previous battle.
However, after just one night, more than a dozen people had realized the reality and came to the camp to surrender.
After all, these tribal members who fled in all directions had nothing, and if they didn't surrender, they would basically die.
From this point of view, they are still clear-headed and not stupid.
As for these people, they would be accepted since they came. One of the main purposes of Zhou Xu's trip was to expand his manpower. Now that he had successfully killed the enemy leader Wang Luchong, there was no need for him to incur additional casualties.
Here, it is worth mentioning that thanks to the cooperation between the skeleton soldiers and the contradictory tactics, and Wang Luchong's own confusion and voluntary death, he successfully surrendered the opponent.
Therefore, no members on their side were killed in the battle. After counting, there were 17 people with obvious injuries, but the problems were basically not serious. By now, the wounds had already been cleaned and applied with herbal medicine.
It can be said that we have successfully avoided the worst possible situation.
You have to know that at that time, after the two sides engaged in close combat, the destructive power of the stone axe was still sufficient against the door panel and the large shield.
After the battle, many door panels and shields were smashed.
Wang Luchong's side still has an obvious advantage in terms of military strength. If they continue to fight, the shield wall will definitely be broken. When the two sides start fighting outright, the number of casualties will definitely be huge.
Fortunately, he had successfully broken the opponent's mentality before that, causing Wang Lu to be confused and launch a series of attacks. Afterwards, he was frightened by the hyena skeleton and called back the large army that was fighting well to protect himself.
To a certain extent, it is not a big problem to say that he dug his own grave.
According to the information obtained here, the population of Wang Luchong's tribe is nearly 200 people! In this era, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task to feed a tribe of nearly 200 people. Wang Luchong was able to do it, no doubt thanks to the crop "potatoes".
Apart from the main camp near the top of the mountain, the facilities deployed on both sides are more like sentry posts than camps.
The purpose is to facilitate his deployment of defense, keep an eye on possible enemies on both sides, and protect the safety of the main camp.
According to the system prompt, Wang Luchong named his tribe "God of War", which is the so-called "God of War" tribe.
According to Zhou Xu's personality, he was basically too lazy to change his name.
Just like the Black Moon Tribe before, he simply adopted the name ‘Black Moon’.
But the name 'God of War'...
[I didn't realize this guy is quite a middle school student.]
"This camp will be called the 'Wild Mountain' camp from now on."
Zhou Xu changed the name casually. He didn't plan to name the three camps on the mountain one by one.
At the same time, just as he said, two of the camps were more like sentinel outposts. They were actually only about one to two hours away from the main camp. They were originally a small hill and could be considered a camp.
Next, the first issue Zhou Xu had to face was the issue of personnel allocation.
Although these three places are considered as one camp, people must be sent to guard the two strongholds.
Wang Luchong's previous arrangement was to go to the side close to the desert. He felt that the probability of the enemy appearing was lower because he had sent people to explore it. The longest time they walked was three days, but they still couldn't get out of the desert and found nothing. So he gave up and had no plans to continue to invest more manpower and time in this desolate area.
Therefore, this stronghold has more symbolic significance than practical significance, and he basically arranged for more than 20 people to be stationed there.
On the other side, there were more people, and he arranged a full fifty of them.
"This mountain has no end in sight. We are only at the edge of the area. The deeper we go, the richer the resources are, but there are also more powerful tribes. The resources deep in the mountains are basically occupied by powerful tribes."
"We are the first..."
Before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man who was kneeling below and speaking froze in expression when he realized something, and then he looked at Zhou Xu nervously.
In response, Zhou Xu calmly waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not bored enough to bother with a dead person."
Zhou Xu showed his magnanimity and didn't care at all that those primitive people still called Wang Lu Chong the chief.
But the middle-aged man still had some sense. After a brief mental struggle, he read out Wang Luchong's name.
"Wang Luchong was no match for those big tribes, so he decided to migrate with our entire tribe to avoid those big tribes and accumulate strength."
"originally."
Having said that, the middle-aged man couldn't help but glance at Li Ce.
Li Ce, probably realizing what the other party was going to say, curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you looking at me? Can I kill you in front of the leader?!"
Although he said so, Li Ce's expression and posture at this time really looked like he was going to kill the other person, which gave Zhou Xu a headache...
"Alright, Li Ce, let's just let it go. We'll all be one family from now on. If the tribe wants to grow stronger, this is a necessary process. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Don't worry, Chief. If I wanted to take action, I would have done it long ago!"
Li Ce dared to say it. After hearing it, Zhou Xu laughed and then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man again.
"Go on."
"Originally, after we annexed the evil wolf's tribe, Wang Luchong had already begun planning to fight back deep into the mountains, but in the end..."
Having said this, feeling the other person's gaze on him, he obviously didn't need to continue.
Because what happened next was that they came and Wang Luchong died.
"How much do you know about the tribe deep in the mountains?"
"Over the hill ahead, the strongest tribe is called the 'Manshi Tribe'. The leader, Manshi, can control flying stones to launch attacks. The surrounding small tribes are all dependent on the Manshi Tribe and protect their lives by paying tribute to the Manshi Tribe on a regular basis."
"Wang Luchong was defeated by this barbarian stone?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I understand the general situation."
