Chapter 36 New Discoveries (extra update for Alliance Leader H Aquarius)
After the death of the enemy leader, these captives now clearly follow Dashima's lead.
When they saw Oishi surrender, they also followed suit and swore allegiance.
Zhou Xu didn't particularly care about this.
They had just finished a battle, and you wanted these people to follow him wholeheartedly right away? That was unrealistic.
Zhou Xu's current requirement for these people is very simple, that is, they just need to work for him honestly, and he doesn't ask for anything else.
"Is the camp over there far from here?"
“Not far.”
If the distance between the two tribes is too far, it is impossible for the other side to gather people and kill you immediately at noon after just a meeting in the morning.
In fact, their movement efficiency was quite slow. After all, they had to cooperate with the tactical ideas of the original leader. Each of them had to carry a door panel and a large shield, as well as a skeleton, and move with a heavy load.
After receiving this reply, Zhou Xu turned around and looked at Feique.
"Fei Que, you take a team of people and settle them down. Da Shan, you take those skeletons and follow me to the camp over there."
Fei Que immediately understood what was meant by this simple sentence. To say "settlement" actually meant to keep an eye on these captives to prevent them from causing any trouble.
Under this premise, the ten people led by Dashan quickly gathered together. Without any delay, they took the big stone and set off directly.
There should be some defensive forces in the other camp. Normally, they cannot ensure their advantage with only ten people, but Zhou Xu is not afraid at all.
His confidence at this time comes from two aspects. On the one hand, it is his own strength. After obtaining the power of the mantra of "skeleton control", he can pull up more than a dozen skeletons to fight for him.
Its own combat power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary individual units.
On the other hand, it is because of the mountains.
Dashan's actual combat capability at this stage has been fully demonstrated in previous battles.
To be honest, it was completely beyond his expectations.
According to his original idea, although Dashan's 'bravery' growth limit is four stars, it is only two stars at the moment. Even if he is stronger than some ordinary two-star members with the bonus of talent, it is estimated that his strength is limited.
Now it turns out that he was naive.
Dashan's performance in the previous battle clearly told him that even if they were both two stars, the difference in actual combat power could be very large.
This forced Zhou Xu to rethink this star rating.
The upper limit of two stars should be the limit that ordinary people can reach through their own efforts without any extraordinary talents.
But in fact, most ordinary people in this world cannot even reach this limit. They just barely maintain an average value and live their lives in mediocrity.
As for Dashan, he was undoubtedly above the average, even more than a little bit! Unless the opponent had the same combat power as Dashan, otherwise, with Dashan and the ten tribal warriors, plus his "skeleton control", they could definitely defeat the opponent even if there were 20 or 30 people!
It is worth mentioning here that the mantra of 'Skeleton Control' obtained from the other party was not quite what he had expected at first.
According to Zhou Xu's imagination at the time, after casting the mantra, a skeleton should crawl out from the ground, or simply open a magic circle or something and come out of the magic circle.
This was his idea of a spell to summon skeletons.
But it turns out that it is not the case. What the other party possesses is not "Skeleton Summoning" but "Skeleton Control".
These are two completely different concepts.
The prerequisite for "skeleton control" is that there must be a skeleton in order to implement "control".
This is also the main reason why he must carry the skeleton on his back when the opponent attacks, otherwise his mantra will not be effective.
Of course, even this cannot conceal the value of this truth.
The skeleton soldiers are not afraid of death. Even if they are beaten to pieces, they can be pulled back together through the power of mantras and continue to fight.
Even if it is impossible to summon it out of thin air, its value on the battlefield is unquestionable.
On the way to the target location, Zhou Xu was certainly not idle. He kept learning information about the tribe from Dashi.
"Are you the original leader of this tribe?"
"Yes."
Judging from the reactions of the captives at that time, it is not difficult to see Dashi's original status in the tribe.
"Then why did you choose to summon the Chosen One?"
"Our tribe was in conflict with a neighboring tribe at the time, and we couldn't defeat them..."
There is basically no need to say much about what happened afterwards. Basically, the summoned Chosen One helped them reverse the situation and win.
At the same time, the other party naturally became their new leader by virtue of his identity as the chosen one of God.
"So why did you gather your forces and come to us?"
"The explorers we sent out discovered a strange forest, so they came back to report that the original leader possessed the power of mantras to control skeletons. For us, it is safest to send skeletons directly in to explore."
Zhou Xu agreed with this idea.
If he had these skeletons, he would also give priority to sending them to carry out such potentially risky tasks to save his own manpower and resources.
only……
"From the perspective of 'exploration' alone, isn't your plan a bit too grand?"
When Zhou Xu said this, he couldn't help but have a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
This really made Oishi a little confused about what to say.
You can't say their leader is a coward, can you?
Although Oishi had some complaints about some of their leader's behavior, their leader did help them through the crisis and brought them a better life.
Now that the leader is dead, he naturally won't gossip here.
Seeing Dashi's reaction, Zhou Xu didn't dwell on it too much. After all, this matter didn't matter now. What he cared more about now was the following problem.
"Is that mantra from your tribe?"
"no."
Daishi shook his head.
"The former leader found it on the grassland himself."
This answer undoubtedly exceeded Zhou Xu's expectations.
He initially thought that each tribe had a mantra as a "benefit" for the chosen ones, but now it seems that this is not entirely true.
And from this simple conversation, Zhou Xu captured a new piece of information that was enough to cheer him up.
"Grassland? There's grassland near your camp?"
"Yes, there is a grassland near our tribal camp."
When Zhou Xu heard the news, he could no longer hide the smile on his face.
Before, he was troubled by the environment of the Black Forest. In addition, due to manpower limitations, the exploration efficiency could not be improved, and he didn’t know where to move the tribal camp.
Now, an area with an obviously better environment than theirs has gradually appeared in front of him!
The update is here. Thanks to book friend '世上闲人也' for the reward. Finally, I would like to ask for a vote!
