Chapter 92 Preparation for Departure
Zhou Xu didn’t care about Li Ce’s little thoughts.
To some extent, it is even a good thing that Li Ce is so motivated.
"Tell me the details of the situation first. How did you lose?"
Li Ce had only briefly mentioned this matter at the time, so Zhou Xu only knew a general idea and did not understand it in detail.
Whenever Li Ce thinks of that battle, his face still looks extremely ugly, because he was defeated so unfairly.
"The situation at that time was like this..."
As he spoke, Li Ce recounted the situation at that time.
I have to say that Li Ce’s defeat was indeed frustrating.
In this era, the camp of primitive tribes, to put it simply, was composed of a group of animal skin tents, and there were basically no defensive facilities.
The enemy tribe attacked their camp, and Li Ce led his men out to fight back, but was immediately attacked from a long-range distance by slingers.
For a primitive tribe that still uses bone spears as weapons, using long-range troops like slingers against them is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
At that time, it was the first time that Li Ce faced the slingers. Faced with the stone bullets that were thrown at him in large numbers, he obviously didn't know how to respond. He could only flee in a panic after being hit by the rain of bullets. Finally, after paying a certain price in casualties, he abandoned the camp and fled.
After escaping, Li Ce kept thinking about this matter, and it was during this thinking process that he came up with a way to deal with it and used it on Shi Lei.
After all, the situation at that time was that they had just fled in defeat. If they fought back immediately, the tribal members who escaped with him might not have the confidence to do so.
Not to mention that the other side was of considerable size. Even if they reduced the threat of the slingers by dispersing their formation, by the time the two sides came to a head-on confrontation, they would already have suffered casualties and might not be the opponent's match.
Li Ce is good at understanding other people's mentality, and of course he can also understand the mentality of his own people.
Instead of rushing back now, it would be better to find a place to regroup and wait for them to recover before slowly taking revenge! As for the fact that he fell into Zhou Xu's hands...
This was clearly an accident.
However, after submitting to the new leader Zhou Xu and seeing the scale of their tribe, Li Ce had thought that their new leader would attack that tribe.
By then, he can also take revenge.
However, compared to the west where a troublesome character has been confirmed, their leader is obviously more interested in the east where there are abundant supplies and no trouble has been found so far.
After Ye Jinghong began to explore along the eastern grassland and discovered resources, and then the pioneering troops set out and established the third camp on the grassland, Li Ce felt that he might have to wait a long time.
What he didn't expect was that fate played such a trick on him. This day came sooner than he expected!
After that, Zhou Xu confirmed everything that needed to be confirmed with Li Ce.
For example, the terrain there...
In fact, Zhou Xu had asked Zhou Chongshan about this piece of information on the way back from the grassland camp. After all, Zhou Chongshan and his group also came from there.
Leaving the Salt Lake Camp and continuing westward, after passing through a desert wasteland, you will see a continuous mountain range.
Their tribe was located near the foot of a hill near the wasteland.
The food resources were not abundant, but they were better than those in the Salt Lake Camp. They could barely make ends meet until Li Ce's tribe attacked them.
Under this premise, Li Ce's tribe was deeper in the hill at that time.
According to Li Ce, the mountains in the west become more barren as you get closer to the periphery, and richer in resources as you get deeper into the mountains, but also, the competition becomes more intense.
Relying on the mantra of 'speed enhancement', their tribe was still very powerful on the small hill outside. After defeating Zhou Chongshan and his tribe, the entire hill became their territory.
Although the place is not that big, you can still be called the "king of the mountain".
Until they were defeated by the guys coming out from deeper in the mountains...
If Zhou Xu was more interested in the grassland rich in various animals before he met the centaurs and hyenas, then now his interest has undoubtedly shifted to this mountain range.
They have a word to describe food called "delicacies from land and sea".
The "mountain delicacies" here refer to the delicacies found in the mountains.
At the same time, mountainous areas have always been high-yield areas for wild fruits and vegetables. They might be able to find some to solve the problem of insufficient nutritional intake of fruits and vegetables in their tribe and completely usher in the era of farming.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu gained more strength.
"That's settled then. Li Ce, you should be more familiar with the environment over there. You can lead a team as a pioneer to explore the way first and then wait for us in front!"
"yes!"
Li Ce had no objection to being asked to take the lead.
In fact, Li Ce’s idea was very similar to Zhou Chongshan’s before. Compared to staying in the camp, he was also eager to show his value.
At the same time, he can also get his revenge, which can only be said to be the best thing.
Feeling Li Ce's excitement, although he felt that he was not an impulsive person, Zhou Xu still gave him a warning.
"Don't be impulsive. Your mission is just to lead the team to explore the way. Everything else can be done after the main force arrives!"
"clear!"
After hearing Li Ce's response again, Zhou Xu said nothing more and turned to look at Shi Lei.
"Shi Lei, I will also go with you to the western mountainous area this time. After I lead the team out, I will stay in the rear to ensure our rear safety. The task of supplying materials will be left to you."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.
"I can't think of anyone better than you to do this job well!"
From the tone of voice, Shi Lei could tell that the leader valued him. At the same time, their leader's words were undoubtedly a high evaluation of him.
For a moment, even Shi Lei, who was known for his calm personality, couldn't help but show some excitement on his face.
"Don't worry, Chief. I will never let you down!"
Taking into account his natural abilities, Shi Lei was a four-star war god certified by him personally.
However, the following battle, to put it bluntly, is an armed conflict involving dozens of people. Compared with the ability to command troops, a unit with outstanding individual combat power can better demonstrate its value.
With this as a premise, even though Shi Lei and Li Ce's bravery levels and even their upper limits are exactly the same.
But in fact, even with the same star rating, there will be differences in strength, and sometimes, the gap will be very obvious.
The fact is that Li Ce's individual strength is obviously stronger than Shi Lei, and he has more combat experience.
Not to mention that the place he went to this time was his hometown.
After comparing them like this, is there any need to decide which one to take? (End of this chapter)
