282: Chapter 282 Major Defeat

Cheetah didn't say much more.

After bandaging his wounds, he quickly glanced at Lin Heng, nodded slightly, and then swiftly departed.

Lin Heng watched the figure disappear into the night, then, as if nothing had happened, turned and walked back toward the room.

He was already feeling a bit sleepy.

He turned over and got into bed.

He was used to sleeping alone, but he forgot he had three women sharing the space with him...

And... for some unknown reason, just in the short time Lin Heng had been gone, the bedding that should have kept them clothed while sleeping next to each other was now in disarray, barely stopping short of complete nakedness!

Lin Heng felt helpless.

Could they sleep their clothes right off?

Lin Heng hadn't had much experience with women and didn't know...

A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he didn't dwell on it. He quickly found a spot on the wide bed, which was over three meters across, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

What he didn't know was that right after he lay down, the other two women quickly opened their eyes, looking disappointed, and quietly pulled their clothes back into place.

They acted as if nothing had happened.

Mmm... sleeping like this is much more comfortable.

...

Time passed quickly.

The tribe where Lin Heng was located soon entered a phase of rapid construction, with nearly everyone working diligently and enthusiastically.

And all major projects began to accelerate!

With five hundred people directing and over three thousand working, focusing their strength on major undertakings, high-rise buildings continuously sprang up from the ground.

Gradually, the outline of a modern city began to take shape.

Meanwhile... the situation on the other side was not good.

North Africa.

General Sam and the elders, relying on their force of over ten thousand men, had been continuously conquering cities and looting territories. It went very well at first; they absorbed tribe after tribe almost effortlessly along the way.

As soon as the other tribes heard they had arrived, they immediately sent people outside to raise white flags and surrender directly!

The disparity in strength meant they barely had to exert any military force.

Many people, when they first went to North Africa, had a few bullets left in their guns. By the time they were attacking the Pretty Country headquarters, how many bullets remained...

Just as they were about to wipe out the Pretty Country forces in North Africa, for some unknown reason, the tribes that had previously surrendered suddenly turned against them!

Before, the surrendered tribes served them like their own masters, giving them whatever they asked for—never mind vulgar things like guns and bullets.

They even offered up the wives of their tribal chiefs!

However, the more comfortable and complacent the people of the Sam Tribe were before, the more miserable and wretched their defeat became...

The grand force of ten thousand men they brought, along with advanced weaponry... all of this had been bought at great expense by the Sam Tribe from other places, behind Lin Heng's back.

Yet, in the end, they were completely wiped out by the enemy in one go.

The most ridiculous part was that at a critical juncture, they prepared to detonate explosives to buy themselves some time, but who knew this was a dud!

Looking at the markings, it was covered in dense English script; it was obvious it was something from the Pretty Country.

It was only by detonating a Guardian of the Arctic from the Bear Country afterward that they barely saved their own skins.

In the end, they had no choice but to retreat.

This was only possible because they managed to escape the enemy's grasp.

Along the way, they suffered continuous losses and heavy casualties.

The ten thousand men who set out proudly only had less than ten percent remaining when they returned...

Not even one in ten!

Similarly, this news also reached Lin Heng's ears.

...

At the same time.

The tribe where Lin Heng was located.

"It's bad...! It's bad!"

"Military Advisor!"

Soon, Lubisang ran over in a panic, his face showing deep shock, looking completely at a loss.

This was the first time in a long while anyone had seen him so flustered.

If it weren't for a catastrophe, Lubisang's personality wouldn't have allowed him to reach this state.

"What's wrong?"

"Did Sam and the others lose the battle?"

When Lin Heng saw him, he only raised an eyebrow slightly, but quickly understood what the other person was about to say.

"Eh... Military Advisor, how did you know?"

Lubisang was slightly shocked.

He hadn't even spoken yet, and he had only just received the news—why did Lin Heng suddenly know?

Before he could ask, he saw Lin Heng just calmly wave his hand.

"I thought from the beginning that they wouldn't be able to win."

It was just that Lin Heng hadn't said it at the time.

After all, the enemy was the Pretty Country, not some random nobody.

If they truly wanted to eliminate those forces instantly, Africa would have probably achieved unification long ago.

And even if they did succeed, the people from the Pretty Country certainly wouldn't give up such a large market...

Even if they captured it, they wouldn't be able to hold onto it.

So, Lin Heng's initial expectation wasn't very high.

At this moment, Lubisang looked grim.

"Then what should we do now?"

"I heard the Chieftain and the others suffered heavy losses. If the people from North Africa attack now, what should we do?"

This was what they were truly worried about.

In response, Lin Heng looked completely unconcerned.

"It's just a bunch of rabble. If they dare to come, I dare to make sure they stay here forever!"

His voice was very calm, yet it gave people a sense of shock.

Hiss...!

Lubisang was originally a little worried internally, but after hearing Lin Heng's words, his spirits immediately lifted, and he inexplicably felt a surge of confidence.

Under Lin Heng's leadership, they had never lost before!

Last time they managed to hold ten thousand enemies there; perhaps they could do it again this time!

This was the source of their confidence.

"Then... what should we do? Should we make arrangements in advance?"

After calming down, Lubisang looked up at Lin Heng and quickly inquired.

As soon as he said this, Lin Heng thought for a moment and then calmly replied.

"No need."

"They won't dare to come."

What confidence!

Lubisang didn't know why, but he still chose to believe Lin Heng's words.

Soon after receiving the order, he quickly turned and left.

...

Meanwhile.

Chieftain Sam and the others retreated south.

And General Max followed behind them, pursuing at a steady pace.

It was as if he were watching an injured prey.

Waiting for the moment the other side completely gave up.

And soon... they discovered they had reached the sphere of influence of Lin Heng's tribe.

"That's the Yuan Tribe ahead. Should we go up?"

A young soldier stepped forward and spoke.

At these words, the complexions of the few chiefs present quickly changed.

Last time, they lost ten thousand men right here, and they almost didn't survive themselves.
