Chapter 198: Spreading the News
“This team won’t have many people. Including you, there will just be six people.” Su Bai stated.
“Six people?” Qing Yan was a bit surprised, paused for a moment and continued, “Shaman, six people is enough.”
Su Bai gripped his hand tightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and explained, “You can personally select the other five people for the team. They must be both strong and agile.”
“I’m going to choose these five people, myself?” Qing Yan thought he had misheard. He felt as though he had been given too much power.
“Yes, this team is crucial for whether the Tribe can take down the Black Snake Tribe, so we must strictly select the team members.” Su Bai solemnly said.
Qing Yan stood straight with his feet together, immediately responding. “Understood! After I’ve made my selection, I’ll report the list to you, Shaman.”
“Good, they must be agile and quick-witted. Gender does not matter.” Su Bai instructed.
“Understood.” Qing Yan nodded.
After arranging the Crocodile Blade Team, Su Bai turned to the rabbit eared girl and said, “Yue, you can achieve 100% accuracy with the recurve bow, right?”
Yue also stood straight, her crisp voice sounding, “Shaman, the recurve bow is not difficult for me.”The rabbit eared girl had shown astonishing talent when training with the recurve bow. On her first try, she could already hit the wooden stake. After practising for a morning, she could achieve 100% accuracy. Many people could not even reach this level of accuracy even after practising for seven or eight days. They would normally have two or three misses out of ten shots. Having 100% accuracy was truly frightening.
“Very good, you’ll also lead a team,” Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
Yue’s cold face showed a slight change in expression as she asked, curious, “Shaman, is it a Recurve Bow Team?”
She had just heard the Shaman’s conversation with Qing Yan, and Qing Yan was very skilled with the Crocodile Blade, so he was asked to lead a Crocodile Blade team. Since she was proficient with the recurve bow, she naturally thought of a Recurve Bow Team.
“That’s right, you’ll be leading the Recurve Bow Team. It also consists of six people, and you’ll choose the other five team members yourself.” Su Bai calmly said.
The power of the recurve bow was several times greater than the longbow. It was also smaller, making it far more convenient to carry.
“Yes, after selecting the personnel, I will also inform the Shaman of the Recurve Bow Team members.” Yue nodded in agreement.
Su Bai blinked his black eyes, looking at Qing Yan and Yue, and earnestly instructed, “These two teams are crucial for attacking the Black Snake Tribe, so you two must carefully select the personnel.”
The Crocodile Blade team and the Recurve Bow Team took up twelve of the Tribe’s Totem Warriors, and the Tribe only had twenty Totem Warriors in total. So the importance of these two teams was evident. Naturally, the subsequent positions arranged for these two teams would also be extremely important.
“Yes!” Qing Yan and Yue said in unison, their expressions also turning grim.
Yan Jiao was confused by this. Originally, there were not many Totem Warriors, and now they were suddenly divided into two teams, leaving only six Totem Warriors.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Shaman, if we divide like this, including me, there would only be six Totem Warriors left right now in the Tribe. How will we fight against the Black Snake Tribe?”
“Don’t worry, these six of you also have things to do. Trust me.” Su Bai’s eyes were full of seriousness.
This was the first time Yan Jiao had seen the Shaman so serious, with an expression that left no room for doubt.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Shaman, how should we arrange the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe?”
“I’ve arranged that too. When they arrive, I’ll tell them what to do,” Su Bai solemnly said.
“Shaman, what about our Tribe’s Warrior Trainees? Although they’re not as good as Totem Warriors in various aspects, they’re still better than ordinary people.” Yan Jiao wanted to know about the arrangements for the Warrior Trainees.
Su Bai glanced at the Wolf Tail Grass Paper in front of him and said, “They have other arrangements. Their positions are equally important.”
Yan Jiao suddenly felt a sense of reassurance in his heart. This feeling of having a plan was really comforting. He nodded heavily and said, “I understand.”
“Oh, Chieftain, have Cheng Shi and Ai’er lead people to pick Kerosene Fruits. I need a lot of Kerosene Fruits in these two days,” Su Bai instructed.
“Alright, I’ll have someone collect them right away.” Yan Jiao immediately agreed.
Su Bai picked up the wooden cup and took a sip of water, waving his hand and saying, “That’s all, go back and rest.”
“Shaman, you should rest early too.” Everyone nodded and left the Main Teepee one by one.
Su Bai watched as everyone left, thought for a moment, then turned to the fox eared girl and asked, “Xiao Yu, do you think we can reclaim our Ancestral Land?”
Yu Ying was stunned, not expecting to be asked this question. She had never been involved in matters of war. She blinked her pink eyes innocently and began to give her analysis: “Shaman, you’ve been thinking about the plan so hard these past few days, we must be able to reclaim our Ancestral Land.”
“If this plan doesn’t deviate in any way, reclaiming the Ancestral Land shouldn’t be difficult.” Su Bai calmly stated.
These past two days, he had been staying up late to make battle plans. Everyone in the Tribe with fighting strength had been arranged, what they should do, and what the enemy would do; all of this had been laid out and calculated.
Even the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe had been accounted for in this plan. Of course, those 260 people would not know the detailed battle plans.
When the time comes, they just need to follow instructions. As long as they understood the orders and acted according to his orders, everything would be fine.
“Xiao Yu, has Ah Ruo left the Tribe yet?” Su Bai looked up and continued, “Help me call her over, I have an important task for her.”
“I’ll go now.” Yu Ying turned and ran out of the Teepee.
Ten minutes later, the fox eared girl brought Ah Ruo back to the Teepee. She blinked her silver-white eyes and asked, “Shaman, do you have any more instructions for me?”
“I want you to do something for me after you reach Ye Jiu’s location. This task is very important, and also very dangerous.” Su Bai solemnly said.
“Shaman, please instruct me. I will definitely complete it.” Ah Ruo also became serious.
“I want you to spread news in the Black Snake Tribe.” Su Bai said with one elbow propped on the table.
“What news does the Shaman want me to spread?” Ah Ruo asked.
Su Bai looked at the sheep horned girl seriously and instructed, “I want you to spread the news among the Black Snake Tribe that there’s a Tribe recruiting slaves.”
“A Tribe recruiting slaves?” Ah Ruo’s silver-white eyes widened, doubting if she had heard correctly.
“That’s right, recruiting slaves. Say that we will give them enough food. Three meals a day, and after a certain period, they will be allowed to have their freedom again.” Su Bai added.
“Shaman, slaves usually don’t eat that much. One meal a day is enough. Aren’t your conditions too good?”
Ah Ruo could hardly believe it and continued, “And letting them regain their freedom, this…”
“Just spread the news as what I’ve just said. Tell them that if they’re willing, someone will come to pick them up,” Su Bai waved his hand.
Although Ah Ruo did not understand the reason for doing this, she still nodded and said. “Yes, I will definitely complete the mission.”
