This means that their walls might be completely useless against skeletons.
For a moment, the room fell silent, and even the air seemed to freeze. Finally, Jiuying spoke up, "Don't be so pessimistic. We don't know the truth yet. Maybe things aren't as we think."
Qingchen also said, "Yes, it's not a good time to deny ourselves."
Shen Miao didn't want to deny herself. The current situation was that the Ice Ling Tribe was no longer useful, so how could they gain any experience from this tribe?
It may sound cruel, but that's the reality.
Shen Miao shared her thoughts with the others, and they all agreed that her considerations were correct. They then split up to gather information.
After the skeleton soldiers conquered the Ice Ling tribe, they did not try to hide anything. So soon, Shen Miao learned that some of the orcs in the Ice Ling tribe had died in the battle, and others had been captured by the skeleton soldiers and become their slaves.
The skeleton soldiers forced these slaves to serve them, and if they were dissatisfied, they would beat and scold them, torturing them until they were neither human nor ghost.
Furthermore, they sent these slaves to the front lines to act as human shields.
In short, the lives of the captured orcs were entirely in the hands of the skeleton soldiers.
After hearing this, Shen Miao felt a chill run down her spine.
She absolutely must not come to that point.
When the other orcs in the tribe heard the news, they became agitated again, and panic spread throughout the tribe once more.
"What do we do? The Ice Ling Tribe is gone. Will we be next?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Our tribe's defenses are very good. The skeleton soldiers can't get in, and even if they do, they won't be able to get in. Everyone, please rest assured."
"The Ice Spirit Tribe also has defenses, but they were still breached. I think our tribe will end up like the Ice Spirit Tribe, occupied by skeleton soldiers."
The more they talked, the more pessimistic they became, and some of the orcs even hugged each other and started crying.
Shen Miao was getting a headache from all the crying, so she stepped forward to comfort everyone, "Don't rush to cry. The most important thing now is to think of a way to avoid ending up like the Ice Ling Tribe."
Frostflower shrieked, "You make it sound so nice, but what can we do? The skeleton soldiers are so strong, are you telling us to go and fight them head-on? You're going too far."
Shen Miao glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her, and simply said, "No matter what, the most important thing is to find out why the skeleton soldiers broke through the Ice Spirit Tribe's defenses, and then take targeted remedial measures."
"Then you go ahead, that sounds so nice, like you can actually find it." Frost Flower rolled her eyes.
Before Shen Miao could say anything, other beastmen started talking to her, "Can you stop causing trouble? Shen Miao is trying to help everyone, and you haven't done anything, yet you're making sarcastic remarks. Can you please get out of the way!"
Shuanghua blushed with anger, but faced with everyone's accusing gazes, she couldn't utter a single word.
Shen Miao ignored her, said a few more words, and then left in a hurry.
The reason why the Iceborne Tribe's defenses were breached was quickly revealed: the skeleton soldiers were using charm magic to control the orcs they wanted to control, making them work for them.
That's how the gates of the Ice Crystal Tribe were opened.
Upon hearing this answer, Shen Miao felt her temples throbbing; this was more troublesome than she had imagined.
With so many orcs in the tribe, no one knows which one will become the skeleton soldier's target. In the end, no matter how much they guard against it, they might not be able to prevent the enemy from opening the door from the inside.
Shen Miao rubbed her forehead; she was starting to go bald.
"Don't think too much about it now, let's talk about it after we finish eating." Jiu Ying came over and called them to eat.
Everyone gradually came to the dining table and sat down. Today's meal was cooked by Jiu Ying again, because Shen Miao was too busy to cook, and besides her, Jiu Ying was the only one in the family who could cook something edible.
It has to be said that Jiuying's skills are getting better and better.
Shen Miao temporarily put aside her worries and praised him, "Jiuying, you are so virtuous. You can find a female beast to follow and enjoy a life of luxury."
Jiuying's cheeks were a little red, as if she was shy.
Shen Miao stared at it for a while, feeling a bit strange. Then she heard a cough and turned her head, only to meet Qing Chen's deep eyes.
"Is your throat sore?" Shen Miao asked innocently.
Qingchen: "..."
He said rather unhappily, "No, I just ate a piece of burnt meat."
"Is it burnt? Where is it? Give it to me," Jiuying said immediately.
Qingchen remained expressionless. "It's already lost."
Shen Miao looked at the two of them and couldn't help but secretly smile.
The little ones, not understanding what was going on, also joined in the silly laughter.
However, the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table lasted for less than fifteen minutes. Soon, everyone remembered the skeleton soldiers so close by and couldn't help but feel worried.
"What do you think we should do about this?" she asked, referring to the fact that the skeleton soldiers possessed charm magic.
Jiuying shook his head and said, "There is no good way to deal with charm at present. We can only rely on personal willpower. But as we all know, almost no one can escape the charm of the skeleton soldiers by willpower alone."
This is why skeleton soldiers are so powerful.
"So how do they use their charm?" Shen Miao couldn't imagine how beautiful a group of skeletons could be.
Without beauty, how can one speak of charm?
This time it was Qingchen who answered, "Eyes, they use their eyes to deceive people."
Shen Miao exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't that mean you'd be able to seduce someone every time?"
You see, unless you're blind, you'll inevitably make eye contact with the skeleton soldiers, and at that moment, before you even realize what's happening, you've already been charmed.
That's so tragic.
Qingchen nodded, "That's right, that's why I said the skeleton soldiers' charm is too troublesome."
"Are there any successful examples?" Shen Miao asked hopefully.
Qingchen looked at her and shook her head, "No."
Shen Miao looked at Jiu Ying with hope, and Jiu Ying said apologetically, "I haven't found a way to resist the charm yet. The only thing I can think of is to close my eyes and try not to make eye contact with the skeleton soldiers."
"No." Shen Miao shook her head.
On the battlefield, you need to be 100% focused. If you close your eyes, you'll probably be riddled with holes the next second.
Jiuying shrugged. "There really is no other way."
After finishing the meal, the problem remained the same, and nothing was resolved. The children came to ask Shen Miao if she had encountered any difficulties. If so, they could join in and fight the enemy together.
They still hadn't given up on the idea of fighting the skeleton soldiers together.
Shen Miao said earnestly, "I do have some questions, but they're not serious. We don't need you guys for now, so my little ones, go play if you want."
