Chapter 200 Messenger
The next morning, the snow was still falling sporadically, and no one knew when it would stop.
However, this little snow had no impact on their daily work.
Although the saber-toothed tiger's attack last night caused him a lot of trouble, he was unable to work due to the heavy snow outside in the past few days, so he had enough rest. Therefore, Zhou Xu's condition is pretty good now.
After breakfast, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the camp, attracting the sentry's attention.
At this moment, a figure was seen in the distance riding a horse, breaking through the snow and rushing towards them on the snow waves.
Seeing this, the sentry quickly sent a message downwards.
"Someone is coming on horseback! It's from the direction of Black Moon Village. It must be the messenger!"
Messenger is the general term Zhou Xu uses to refer to the messengers between villages.
After receiving the notification from the watchtower, the nearby patrol members quickly went out to meet them.
If you are sure that he is one of your own, then welcome him in. Otherwise, if he is not, then take action directly.
However, at this stage, the person coming from the direction of Black Moon Village and riding a horse basically cannot be anyone else.
The messenger was quickly welcomed into the village and came before Zhou Xu.
"Meet the leader!"
"No need to be polite."
After simply signaling the other party not to be polite, Zhou Xu quickly asked about the situation in other villages.
"What's the situation in the other villages now? Has Black Moon Village been affected by the snowstorm?"
Normally, news from the village over there would be sent to Black Moon Village first, and then sent to him by the messenger from Black Moon Village.
The same is true this time.
In response to Zhou Xu's question, the messenger answered quickly.
"Reporting to the leader, it snowed heavily in Black Moon Village a while ago. The wind and snow blew a little, but there was no blizzard. The situation in Salt Lake Village was similar..."
As he spoke, the messenger described the situation in several villages during this period.
During those days of wind and snow, there was no doubt that every village suffered more or less losses.
However, because Zhou Xu had made sufficient preparations before the winter, and except for the grassland village, other villages were not directly swept by the blizzard, the losses in this area were within controllable range.
At least it is much better than the grassland village that suffered so much.
But what the messenger reported next made Zhou Xu frown quickly.
"Something like this actually happened over in Huangshan Village?"
He had thought that the primitive tribe in the Huangshan Village would attack them after winter due to livelihood pressure.
However, he obviously did not expect that the other party could cause such a big scene. It was obviously not something that an ordinary primitive tribe could do.
At the same time, as someone who had once walked out of the depths of the mountains, Wang Chuan had some understanding of those tribes. According to Wang Chuan, it was probably multiple tribes that attacked at the same time.
This made Zhou Xu even more surprised.
Even though they successfully formed an alliance with the Centaurs, in fact, in this primitive era when tribes competed for limited food resources, it was not so easy for tribes to form an alliance.
Looking at Zhou Xu who was lost in thought, the messenger continued his report.
"And according to the message that Village Chief Shi Lei wanted to convey, there was a talkative guy on the battlefield who tried to get close to him, saying something like a time traveler..."
"Wait a minute! What did you just say?"
"Um, there's a talkative guy on the battlefield trying to get close to Village Chief Shi Lei?"
"Not this one, the next one."
"Talking about time travelers or something like that?"
When this sentence came out of the messenger's mouth again, Zhou Xu confirmed it completely.
[No mistake, there is a time traveler on the other side! 】
[The attack on Huangshan Village by the coalition forces of the opposing tribes this time was probably the work of this time traveler! ]
Zhou Xu is no longer surprised at the appearance of the time traveler.
After all, since he traveled through time, he has met two travelers.
And these two travelers all died in his hands! A new traveler appeared in this world and stood on the opposite side of him. This was not a good thing no matter how you thought about it.
But Zhou Xu did not become too nervous because of this. After all, judging from the result of this battle, the opponent's strength was not as good as his.
Otherwise, Huangshan Village would have been captured long ago.
"Did the other party show any special abilities?"
Faced with this question, the messenger shook his head.
"The message didn't mention any special abilities, but Village Chief Shi Lei did mention that there was a very capable guy on the other side. He almost died at his hands, but was able to survive thanks to the protection of the rattan armor."
Hearing this, a strange look suddenly flashed in Zhou Xu's eyes.
[Shi Lei's upper limit of bravery has reached the excellent level of three stars. Although it is only two stars now, his talent and strength are not comparable to ordinary two-star characters. It almost took Shi Lei's life.]
[The opponent must at least be a character of the same level of bravery! ]
In this era where tribes are the carriers and the scale of battles is still limited to small-scale armed conflicts, a powerful individual warrior is enough to dominate the outcome of an entire battle! So at this moment, Zhou Xu still wants to get a role like this.
However, he had already used the "Eye of Insight" to check all the people under his command and made sure that no talent was missed.
Under this premise, if he wants to acquire more talents, the only way at the moment is probably to annex other tribes, recruit their population, and acquire talents from them.
Now, the brave warrior who almost killed Shi Lei has undoubtedly successfully attracted Zhou Xu's attention.
However, Zhou Xu had no intention of sending troops immediately to support Huangshan Village.
Don't forget that the situation in Prairie Village is not peaceful right now, and we don't have the spare capacity to transfer troops to other places.
Not to mention that he had left enough people in Huangshan Village from the very beginning. He believed that with this population, plus Shi Lei's ability, they would be able to deal with the situation there.
Of course, under this premise, he did not intend to ignore it completely.
"Notify the Black Moon Village's forging department to send the latest batch of swords to the Desolate Mountain Village as quickly as possible."
Losing a few swords was not a big deal for Zhou Xu.
Because he also knows that once this weapon is used, you cannot guarantee that it will not fall into the hands of the enemy.
But the other party has no way to make it themselves. As long as Huangshan Village can obtain more swords and arm more soldiers, they will have a big enough advantage in armed strength.
After explaining everything that needed to be instructed to the messenger, Zhou Xu picked up a roll of animal skin paper from his desk and handed it to the other party.
"Remember my order. Take this blueprint and return to Black Moon Village. Have the villagers make the things on the blueprint as quickly as possible!"
"yes!"
