Chapter 423: Incoming Attack (2)
The news of the destruction of the Red Mountain Department spread in a rapid time, and some people in the Salt Department were panicked.
Under the mobilization of Zhou Yan, the clansmen did not flee in all directions, and with the help of the Xia State Expedition, the Yan Department organized the personnel as quickly as possible.
In the past six months, the young men of the salt department have been trained to a greater or lesser extent, and the skills of using bows and arrows and ballistas can barely be called proficient.
Although in the eyes of the regular army, the combat power of these natives is not worth mentioning, but it should be enough to deal with those monsters who only know how to kill, after all, humans have intelligence.
Two days later, after learning the bad news of the Red Mountain Tribe, the surrounding tribes were immediately frightened and panicked, and after listening to the message of the envoy of the Salt Ministry, they immediately organized the tribesmen to think of the place where the Salt Department converged.
This kind of major event related to their own life and death cannot allow these small tribes to think about it at all, and in today's situation, only by holding together for warmth, can they get a glimmer of life.
Although the ballistae of these small tribes are not as numerous as the salt department, they are still quite a considerable number together.
When all the tribes arrived, there was a station of the salt department, and it suddenly became many times more crowded.
These natives were clamoring and asking what Zhou Yan should do now.
Zhou Yan waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly:
"Chiefs, the Red Mountain Department has perished, those monsters are getting closer and closer to us, since those monsters appeared, the vicinity of the holy land can be said to be a place of death, whether it is a beast or a human, it has become food for those monsters, go to me We don't kill them, we can only leave this mountain, I ask you are willing to run away like this?"
"There is the leader of the salt tribe, what are you talking about, our ancestors have always lived in this mountain, how can we escape."
"That is, our Giant Wood Tribe will never leave our land."
Looking at the extremely excited appearance of the leaders of these tribes, Zhou Yan nodded secretly, the morale is available, and he has a lot more chances of winning when dealing with monsters in the future.
"In this case, let's pick up the weapons in our hands and drive these monsters out of this mountain, I heard a sentence from these Xia people in the east, the snake has no head and grows in the body, and it is useless, now that so many of our tribes are gathered together, we can't kill those monsters by fighting ourselves, only by concentrating all our strength, we can win."
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the leaders of these small tribes suddenly fell silent, although they were indigenous and uneducated, it did not mean that they were fools.
Zhou Yan's meaning couldn't be more obvious, the strength of the salt department is the most powerful of these tribes, and if you really want to nominate a leader who serves the people, the most likely is the salt department.
But handing over the power of their tribe to outsiders to manage, these leaders are still a little reluctant in their hearts, it is impossible to deal with that kind of terrifying monster without casualties, what if Zhou Yan uses his own people as a substitute for the dead ghosts.
Looking at the scattered appearance of these tribal leaders, Zhou Yan couldn't help frowning, when has this happened, these people are still thinking about these useless things.
"Although I Zhou Yan is not a wise man, but I will definitely treat the tribesmen as my own people, and will never treat them differently, if you still have scruples, I would like to swear to the god of the mountain, if I Zhou Yan do something harmful to your people, I will die in the mouth of the beast."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan pulled out the short sword on his waist and slashed it hard in the palm of his hand.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and the captain standing on the side didn't have time to stop it, so he asked in surprise: "Patriarch Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhou Yan didn't speak, just wiped his forehead and cheeks a few times with his bloody hand, and then knelt down towards the mountain and solemnly made his oath.
For the natives living in the mountains, the god of the mountains is the most noble existence, seeing Zhou Yan swearing so solemnly, he stepped forward to dissuade him again and again, but the trace of hesitation in his heart dissipated a lot.
"There is the leader of the salt tribe, I agree to let you lead the warriors of my clan to kill all those monsters under the witness of the god of the mountain."
"The Giant Wood Department agrees!"
"The Bend agrees!"
。。。。。。
In the unanimous approval, Zhou Yan slowly got up and said murderously: "Okay, with all the warriors here, we will definitely be able to take back our land, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The sound of shouting and killing echoed in the valley, under the infection of this atmosphere, Zhou Yu and the others suddenly felt their blood boiling, although they were not soldiers and grew up in a peaceful environment, but at this moment, they also felt that they were no longer outsiders, but like these natives, they were part of the same human race, and in the face of the invasion of monsters, they had to take up arms and resist.
After doing the work of these leaders, Zhou Yan issued several orders to organize the scattered young people.
But for the natives, who are accustomed to being free and scattered, it is not easy to get them together.
Even with the help of Zhou Yu and others, it took half a day to barely complete the arrangement of more than 100 young people.
The young men were divided into small squads of about thirty people, each squad was equipped with four ballistas, and most of the rest were young men who used bows and arrows, and only two or three people held carbonized wooden spears as melee strength.
Looking at the more than twenty ballistas, Zhou Yan was very confident in this raid.
"Xia Guo's battle formation technique is really magical, and when you line up all the warriors like this, you have the feeling of facing a high mountain." Zhou Yan said with emotion.
The captain smiled and said, "We just imitated it simply, we know what kind of battle formation technique, I hope this can be useful!" ”
Zhou Yan waved his hand noncommittally and said: "You are too modest, if you can't defeat those monsters like this, then there is no way to win, if you can succeed this time, you will be our eternal friends of all the tribes of the mountains." ”
"Haven't we become friends?" The captain smiled.
"Haha! That's right! Zhou Yan smiled heartily.
After a day of repairs in the salt department, early the next morning, the soldiers hurriedly finished eating their own food, and after the old and weak women and children had taken refuge in a safe place, they set out in full gear.
After more than half a year of observation, Youyan has mastered most of the monsters' nests, and the number of monsters on the Holy Land is the largest, Zhou Yan did not plan to start from the most dangerous place, but planned to kill the past from the periphery little by little, and finally concentrated all his strength to completely exterminate the monsters on the side of the Holy Land in one fell swoop.
