283: Chapter 283 Is this still a primitive tribe?
"How about... we just forget about it?"
Soon, after hesitating for a moment, one of the relatively strong tribal chieftains finally spoke up.
As soon as these words came out, the others also had to consider the matter seriously.
Although no one expressed their opinion immediately, the general silence seemed to have already provided an answer.
They were all unwilling to recall that incident from before.
Ultimately, the final decision rested with General Max.
At this moment, General Max's expression was extremely calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a look of struggle quickly appeared on his face.
"Tsk..."
"Last time, we only suffered a loss because we didn't know their methods and were tricked. In reality, their military strength is completely inferior to ours. This time, we can definitely take them down!"
"This... might not be a good idea, right?"
Although General Max spoke nicely, if it really came down to execution, perhaps more than half of the chieftains present would not agree.
There weren't many people from Pretty Country, only one thousand in total.
It wasn't impossible to take down the enemy.
However, for General Max, help from afar was useless; he still needed these people to maintain his own influence.
Otherwise, without them present, the natives would just treat them as an arsenal!
He looked at the difference between having men and not having men. At that time, he wondered if these Black natives would rise up and seize their base!
"What's so bad about it? Don't you all want to carve up the land of South Africa?"
"The Sam Tribe is already on its last legs and poses no real threat anymore... Besides, didn't you already know before? There are only five hundred people here!"
"We have rifles and cannons, what is there to fear?"
"At worst, we can just use long-range artillery strikes!"
Long-range artillery strikes... That really wasn't a problem.
This way, they could still deplete the enemy's effective strength.
If the situation from before truly repeated itself, they could first send a few people to scout the situation.
They had such a huge advantage this time, so there was no need to rush.
Thus, after General Max finished speaking, they quickly exchanged glances, nodded, and agreed.
Continue the pursuit!
...
Sam deserters.
"What do we do? Those people behind us just won't let go!"
Many people were terrified.
They currently felt like injured hippos—bloated and completely lacking any means of counterattack.
And following behind them were the proctologists of the African savanna... hyenas...
If those people caught up, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Chieftain Sam glanced behind him, subconsciously licked his dry lips, and felt as if he was about to crack open.
Damn guys!
They neither chased nor retreated, just stuck closely behind them.
For them, this was simply a painful form of psychological torture!
If someone lacked mental fortitude, they might even give up resisting and choose to welcome death.
And soon...
"We're here!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
"The military advisor's tribe is right ahead. If we rush over now, maybe there's still hope!"
Upon hearing this, the others quickly regained their spirits.
Joy appeared on all their faces.
"That's great!"
Chieftain Sam was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected they had already covered such a long distance?
They were nearly in Central Africa...
If Lin Heng were here, he would surely have some way to save them, right?
However, an elder in the troop soon started gossiping.
"Hmph! What's so great about an outsider?"
"Maybe Lin Heng is still pondering how to deal with us right now?"
"It's not impossible that he might sweep away both us and the allied forces behind us into dust!"
"You must remember, in Lin Heng's eyes, we weren't sent as gifts!"
The elder's gaze was gloomy.
At these words, everyone quickly reacted, and their expressions turned extremely ugly.
What should they do now?
It was absolutely impossible to say that what the elder said was unreasonable.
Yet, they currently had no other options.
"Chieftain... what should we do?"
Finally, their gazes settled on Chieftain Sam.
Chieftain Sam was also at a loss.
He looked at the Yuan Tribe approaching ahead, then gritted his teeth.
"Charge!"
"If we get past the Yuan Tribe, we win!"
It turned out Chieftain Sam was also worried about the issue the elder raised; he could only plan to have this tribe buy them some time for maneuvering.
As for the tribe's fate... that was uncertain.
The elder looked at Chieftain Sam with great satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Not bad, there's some improvement."
When the others heard this, although they realized that Lin Heng and his tribe might be sacrificed, they couldn't worry about that much at this moment.
This was war!
It involved bloodshed and sacrifice!
But just as they slowly approached the tribe where Lin Heng was located, they suddenly froze.
Huh!?
This... Is this still that primitive tribe?
These tall buildings... What's going on with these city walls?
Everyone was dumbfounded soon after.
...
On the other side.
The people from Pretty Country quickly caught up.
When they saw the thick city walls, they were also momentarily stunned.
Huh?
"What's the situation here?"
"Have you been here before? When did such a huge city wall appear here?"
"I don't know... No! That shouldn't be right!"
"Shouldn't this place just be a barren plain?"
"How is that possible!?"
"..."
Everyone was shocked.
The last time they came, this place was still a desolate area, with only a few resource points.
Who would have thought that in less than ten days, a magnificent city wall would appear here...
Moreover, judging by the outline inside, there seemed to be quite a few exaggerated structures...
They all quickly rubbed their eyes, then waved their hands in front of their faces, thinking it was a mirage.
However, the result told them that this was not a mirage, nor was it an illusion.
It was something that existed in reality!
"General Max, what should we do now?"
Soon, the chieftains from North Africa couldn't sit still.
It only took ten days to build such a magnificent city. If some more time passed, they didn't know what other changes would occur here...
It was fortunate that they discovered it early; otherwise, it was truly unimaginable!
If the other side could build such magnificent structures in an extremely short time, then placing some weapons with considerable power inside didn't seem like an exaggeration...
