Chapter 189 'The Halo of the Protagonist'
After being summoned by the primitive people of his tribe in a ceremony, although Zhang Peng did not make any contribution, he successfully took the position of tribal leader by virtue of his identity as the "Chosen One".
However, it was winter when he came out, and there was not much room for him to play, and the tribe was facing food problems.
Originally, according to his idea, he would use his clever brain to solve the food problem for the tribe and establish his own prestige at the same time.
He soon discovered...
[Shit! There's nothing in the middle of winter, how am I supposed to deal with this?!]
[If I can’t do it myself, then I’ll go rob other tribes. That’s right! That’s what’s written in novels! Wait until I upgrade the weapons in the tribe and improve their combat effectiveness. Then it will be easy to deal with other primitive people, right? ]
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Zhang Peng's face.
"You, go and bring me the weapons from the tribe."
The tribesmen who received the order hurried to get the weapons.
Zhang Peng took a closer look and his expression froze.
Seeing that their leader had not made any move, the tribe member thought that their leader did not recognize the weapon, so he hurriedly explained...
"This is a stone axe, and this is a sling. With the sling, you put the stone here, spin it, and throw it out."
[I fucking know! ]
It feels really bad to be treated as a fool by primitive people.
But at the same time, it also made him realize that he had oversimplified things.
Since the tribe already has slingshots and stone axes, if they want to upgrade further, they will probably need bronze tools and bows and arrows, right?
What should he do? For a moment, he was numb and just stood there in a daze.
However, he even encountered something like time travel. Zhang Peng, who believed that he had the "halo of the protagonist", was sure that he could definitely overcome the difficulties.
Now that he has no room to maneuver with food and equipment, he can only rely on strategies.
According to his brain as a time traveler, it would be easy to fool some primitive people. He first called the people in the tribe and briefly told them about the surrounding situation. He soon had an idea.
[According to the people in the tribe, the strongest tribe in this area is the Stone Tribe, and these tribes are all small tribes that are dependent on the Stone Tribe. Every once in a while, they need to pay tribute to the Stone Tribe.]
After hearing this, Zhang Peng understood clearly.
[This Barbarian Stone Tribe should be the small BOSS that I have to deal with in the early stage. It sounds quite powerful. I definitely cannot defeat it now. However, the other small tribes around that are dependent on the Barbarian Stone Tribe don’t sound that powerful. How about I start with them? ]
Originally, Zhang Peng was thinking about attacking these small tribes, plundering their food, and getting through the current crisis first.
But before he could start implementing it, he realized a problem.
[Wait a minute, according to what you just said, all these tribes, including my tribe, are within the plundering range of the Barbarian Stone Tribe, and soon, we will have to pay tribute to the Barbarian Stone Tribe again. If we cannot pay tribute by then, the Barbarian Stone Tribe will come and destroy us...]
[Under this premise, no matter how many small tribes I plunder, in the end I will just be working for the Barbarian Stone Tribe in vain. Damn it!]
Zhang Peng, who had figured out the current situation, cursed in his heart.
[My most important task now is to get food while escaping from the control of the Barbarian Stone Tribe. When I become prosperous, I will return as a king and destroy that broken tribe!]
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that he must first solve the current troubles.
As a time traveler, Zhang Peng's mind was quite active, and he quickly set his sights on the tribe that had been defeated and fled by the Manshi tribe.
"That tribe fled to the outskirts of the mountains. The Barbarian Stone Tribe gave up the pursuit because they were too far away..."
While muttering to himself, Zhang Peng seemed to have found a breakthrough and became very excited.
"Does that mean that if we escape, the Barbarian Stone Tribe won't be able to do anything to us?"
"But there is still a problem. From what you said, although that tribe was defeated by the Barbarian Stone Tribe, it is still quite strong. I'm afraid we can't deal with it."
After thinking about this issue for a while, Zhang Peng uttered two words.
"Alliance. I can get other tribes in this area to form an alliance! Other tribes definitely don't want to stay here and continue to be exploited by the Barbarian Stone Tribe. I can form an alliance with them and go together to deal with the tribe on the periphery. We can destroy them and then move all of them to the periphery. After that, I will find an opportunity to swallow up other tribes and strengthen myself..."
At this moment, Zhang Peng was thinking loudly, and felt that he was a genius for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
So they quickly began to arrange for an alliance with other tribes.
But the implementation process was much more difficult than he thought.
It’s not that the natives saw through his plan, but that those guys didn’t believe him from the beginning. They always thought that they wanted to steal the earthworms in his pocket and eat them, which made Zhang Peng speechless.
Fortunately, as a time traveler, he was able to fool a few primitive people. With the help of the big promises he made, he finally facilitated the formation of this alliance and got himself the title of "leader of the alliance".
Then they came here with people from various tribes, ready to take over the camp of Huangshan Village.
To show his sincerity, he took the initiative to accept the task of being a pioneer, thinking in his mind that he should first establish prestige within the alliance so as to secure his position as the leader.
As a result, the first round of attempts failed in Huangshan Village.
"Fuck! The other side already has swords?!"
The gleaming sword made Zhang Peng's eyelids twitch, and he even wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
This discovery made Zhang Peng a little confused, and his head was buzzing.
At the same time, seeing that he had failed, several other tribal leaders came to him and asked him whether the pie he had drawn before was feasible.
Of course Zhang Peng couldn't admit that he was incompetent, so he gritted his teeth and quickly came up with a new plan.
"Don't panic. There are only a few people on the other side. We have more people! I will use a method to lure the other side out first. Then we will rush over and kill them. Isn't it easy?"
When the leaders on the opposing side heard this, they thought it was a good plan and asked Zhang Peng to start immediately.
If someone else was in charge of Huangshan Village, facing his repeated harassment and provocation, he would most likely become angry and fall for it.
But unfortunately, the person sitting here was Shi Lei, who refused to take the bait. Following his instructions, the soldiers stopped immediately every time they reached the border.
At this position, they only needed to run back a little distance and they would soon be within the attack range of their own slingers and receive support from the rear.
From Zhang Peng and his friends' perspective, this was not a good position to take action.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Peng naturally tried to seduce her again.
But no matter how he showed weakness and lured him, Shi Lei just wouldn't take the bait. This made Zhang Peng so angry that his head hurt and his blood pressure kept rising.
Shi Lei's calmness made Zhang Peng almost lose his temper.
In the end, there was really no other way but to say with a smug face...
"Leaders, after these few rounds, I, as the vanguard, have almost consumed the enemy's forces. It's your turn to take action now."
“…”
After hearing this, the leaders looked confused.
Is this what you said before?
