Chapter 83: An Important Mission
At the same time, at the grassland camp, Zhou Chongshan and Ye Jinghong, two of Zhou Xu’s most trusted confidants, were staying here.
In terms of combat power, there is no doubt that Zhou Chongshan is stronger, but in terms of overall planning, Ye Jinghong has already demonstrated an overwhelming advantage at this moment.
Ye Jinghong, who often needs to lead reconnaissance troops on missions outside, has no way of reporting problems to their leader in a timely manner and has to solve them on his own.
Therefore, as the commander of the reconnaissance unit, Ye Jinghong must have strong enough decision-making ability.
As a commander with four-star potential, he has fully proved that he can do it. This is also the main reason why Zhou Xu was confident in letting Ye Jinghong do it, and at the same time, he dared to hand over the newly established grassland camp to Ye Jinghong during the time he was away.
Following Zhou Xu's instructions, Ye Jinghong took over the management of the grassland camp on the day their leader left, and quickly began to arrange work for the tribal members who followed.
The attitude is very straightforward, leaving no room for doubt.
This is also a bit of experience that Ye Jinghong has accumulated. As a commander, you must be strong enough. When giving orders, if you yourself don't have enough confidence, how can you expect others to listen to you?
As it turned out, the newly established grassland camp soon started to operate slowly under his arrangements.
During this process, looking at Ye Jinghong who was coordinating the overall situation, Zhou Chongshan couldn't help but have a dazed look on his face.
He and Ye Jinghong grew up in the same tribe and were familiar with each other.
But I don’t know since when, the other party has become so unfamiliar.
It’s not that they have become strangers, but Ye Jinghong has become different from before.
In Zhou Chongshan's impression, Ye Jinghong was the little brother who always followed him, but when he turned around, he felt that he had been left behind by him...
At this moment, my mood is really a bit complicated.
Just as he was struggling with this, after arranging all the things that needed to be arranged, Ye Jinghong's sight fell on Zhou Chongshan, who was standing there, staring at him in a daze.
"What's wrong? Chongshan?"
With doubts in his heart, Ye Jinghong walked over subconsciously.
Faced with the question, Zhou Chongshan shook his head.
"Nothing, I just feel that you have changed a lot."
In response to this, Ye Jinghong scratched his head.
"It's okay. I just don't want to disappoint the leader, so I try my best to do everything."
These simple words gave Zhou Chongshan a sudden feeling of enlightenment.
"You're right, Jinghong, I'm going to work hard too! Is there anything you want me to do?!"
Looking at the excited Zhou Chongshan, Ye Jinghong smiled slightly.
"Of course!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chongshan became more motivated.
"What's up?"
"That is, stay in the camp."
"ah?!"
After receiving this answer, Zhou Chongshan was stunned for a moment, then he asked a question reluctantly.
"Is this what the leader meant, or is this your idea?"
"That's the chief's idea, but even if the chief hands you over to me, I will basically make the same decision."
"Why?!"
Zhou Chongshan asked this question with a tone full of incomprehension. In fact, he had been holding this question in his heart for too long.
This time, facing Ye Jinghong, whom he had known since childhood, he finally couldn't help but ask...
"Is it because I was the previous leader of the tribe?"
At that time, after their tribe escaped from the attack of the Wolf Tribe, the original leader died. Under this premise, as the person with the highest prestige in the tribe, the tribal members naturally acquiesced in him becoming the new leader and obeyed his orders.
This can be seen from the fact that when Zhou Xu just arrived, the tribal members obviously listened to Zhou Chongshan more.
Zhou Chongshan himself is definitely not a fool, and he is more or less aware of this problem.
However, when Ye Jinghong heard this, he laughed twice.
"Don't think too much. Let's not talk about Li Ce first. Wasn't Shi Lei also the leader of the tribe? Isn't he still valued by the leader now?"
Ye Jinghong's example really made it impossible for him to refute.
"Why is that?"
"Because you are the bravest warrior in our tribe!"
After hearing this, Zhou Chongshan felt even more confused.
In his opinion, the bravest warrior in the tribe should take the lead in hunting.
However, the reality is that he doesn't need to do this at all.
All he needs to do every day is stay in the camp and eat and drink.
If it were an ordinary person, living a life like this would be very comfortable.
But this kind of life only brought Zhou Chongshan endless anxiety.
Because in this era, men need to demonstrate their value by hunting and obtaining prey, especially as the bravest warriors in the tribe.
However, Zhou Xu's arrival brought about earth-shaking changes to this structure.
The era of hunting has come to an end in their tribe, and instead, they have entered an agricultural era centered on agricultural development.
In this era, obtaining food requires labor, and the brave warriors in the tribe no longer have to go out hunting, but to defend the camps and villages they have established.
But in such a short period of time, such earth-shaking changes had taken place, which undoubtedly made the tribe's first warrior feel a little "uncomfortable".
Faced with this situation, Ye Jinghong could only explain the problem as patiently as possible.
"Our camp may be attacked by the enemy at any time. As the bravest warrior in the tribe, what you need to do is to stay in the best condition and protect the safety of the tribal camp at this critical moment."
Having said this, Ye Jinghong paused.
"It's the same here. The leader has already said that those centaurs are very powerful. If we encounter them, we don't need to worry about this camp and just run away."
"But you see, those centaurs have four legs. Even if we run away, we may not be able to escape. When the battle is unavoidable, you will have to protect everyone."
As a 'weapon master' who can use various weapons flexibly, Zhou Chongshan cannot be a fool. In fact, his upper limit of intelligence is three stars, which is completely beyond the intelligence level of ordinary humans.
Even if all the intelligence points were added to weapon use and combat, it is impossible not to understand this.
Before, it was just a fixed mindset formed by the original life framework.
As long as he opens this framework and starts to think, he will be able to figure this out quickly.
Indeed, his main task is to stay in the camp, but once the enemy attacks, the life and death of all members of the camp will depend on him! From this point of view, he can be said to have a heavy responsibility, and no task is more important than the one he is shouldering now!
