Probably recently, the news of the attacks on the nearby tribal villages has been received, and the sporadic escape of people from other tribes, it seems that the hunters of the Ebony tribe have been prepared for a long time.

At dusk, the hunters sent out to reconnoiter spotted the large ranks of marauders, but they did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but set up camp not far from the village of Ebony with great saga.

Han Jianfei knew very well that the more than a hundred hunters of the Ebony Clan, even if they added half-grown children and women, could never be the opponent of this group of marauders.

He and Gen Chiko briefly discussed, absolutely divided into two ways, Gen Chiko immediately returned to Hedong Village, mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, and he went to Ebony Village alone to talk to Kuria, in the face of the current situation, the only way out for the two clans is to unite.

After experiencing the journey through the mines, Genchiko has a preliminary understanding of Han Jianfei and his world, knowing what terrifying power this man and the world behind him have, and subconsciously approves of his plan.

"In addition to persuading the patriarch to unite with the Ebony Clan," before parting, Han Jianfei specially advised, "Before I leave, let Xiao Tanzi and them continue to burn bricks and trade with other tribes, they should have saved a lot these days, after you go back, let them demolish my house, use those bricks to build a thick wall on the periphery of the village, build as high as you can, and then dig some deep trenches outside the wall, the deeper the better, we don't have time, let everyone go and build walls and dig trenches, it must be completed before the next cycle of work and rest!" ”

When Han Jianfei came to Ebony Village, the hunter leader Kuria was leading more than a hundred hunters to prepare for battle in the open space at the entrance of the village, although it was obviously no match for the marauders riding huge war beasts, but none of the tribes in the entire jungle would be afraid of a battle that came to the door.

Kuria noticed that his hunters were looking behind him, and he looked back to see the tall and weak outsider who had made him lose face at the campfire in Hedong Village.

Dealing with predators who would attack at any time had already made him anxious, and at this juncture, he would definitely not give this nasty guy any good looks.

"Knock him out." He only said one word, and immediately two hunters came out of the team and stood in front of Han Jianfei - if that was a team.

"If I say that I am here to save the Ebony Clan, would you like to listen to me a few more words?" Han Jianfei asked in a slightly stiff Haishan dialect.

"Just you?" Kuria seemed to laugh at his words.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, the last time you asked this question, you didn't think I could beat that Lis. A hundred of you, brave enough, could not be a match for those fellows—I had just returned from the mountain pass, and I had seen all that they had done along the way, and they had slaughtered all the tribes from the valley to the mouth of the lake. ”

The hunters of the Ebony tribe were in an uproar, these days, they had heard the rumors of the raider team from gossip, and when they heard the words of outsiders, they were even more sure that the rumors were true.

Curia's face was gloomy as if it was about to drip water: "If it's like what you say, what can you do?" ”

Han Jianfei pushed away the two obstructing hunters and looked around at the more than a hundred ebony hunters in front of him: "There are about more than a thousand marauders, ten times as many as you, if you fight them so hard, even if one person can fight two, after you die, who will protect your wives and children?" ”

Kuria didn't speak, and the crowd began to stir, with a look of hesitation and fear evident in the hunters' eyes.

"However, as long as you unite with the people of the Hedong Clan, we will have at least three hundred warriors who can fight, three hundred against one thousand, at least we already have a chance of fighting." Han Jianfei continued, "And I, once one of the most war-savvy people in those worlds in the heavens, all the wars I commanded, with a very small number of troops to defeat the enemy with great disparity, in the name of the gods, I will let as many of you as possible survive, defeat those marauders, and protect your families!" ”

The hunters were already hesitant, and when they heard that there was still hope of survival, they couldn't help but be inclined to believe the stranger in front of them.

"If what you say is true, prove it to us!" Kuria spoke, he had already made up his mind to die, and if the outsider was really as he said, even if there was only one possibility, he didn't mind, it was just a different way to die.

For people in despair, the most effective remedy is to give them hope, even if it is just a life-saving straw.

"I don't have time to prove it," Han Jianfei shook his head, "because you and the entire tribe must retreat to the other side of the river as soon as possible, where you will join the people of the Hedong tribe." When you begin to evacuate, the Marauders will be aware of it and attack ahead of time, and the strongest of you must stay behind to stop them and buy time for everyone to evacuate safely - and I will stay here and take them with me to stop the Marauders. ”

He turned to Kuria, whose face was heavily painted with oil, "Lord Hunter Leader, is this a proof?" ”

In today's Ebony Clan, the patriarch is bedridden, and it is difficult to lead the people anymore, and the hunter leader Kuria has become the de facto supreme commander, and he must be responsible for the future of the entire tribe.

He looked around at the male and female hunters in front of him who had been born and died with him, and met their expectant and eager eyes, he nodded heavily: "Okay, I will also stay and see how you prove it." ”

Then he named thirty-seven people: "These are the bravest warriors of the entire Ebony tribe. ”

"Tell everyone," Han Jianfei said, "don't take anything but people, all livestock and property, if you lose it, you can get it again, and what we need most is time." ”

Then he said to the thirty-eight men in front of him, including Kuria, "I know that each of you is a fierce warrior, but this battle is about the survival of the entire clan, and I ask each of you to carry out my orders without reservation, even if I order you to block the enemy's spears with your chest, without any hesitation or retreat, this is the only request I have for you." ”

"Executed without reservation, only those who are not afraid of the dead can live," he said word for word, "this is the only credo I have to fight in this sector." ”

After saying this, Han Jianfei suddenly thought of the betrayal of Zhai Liu, who was brought out by his own hands, and was betrayed by those Baishan soldiers who were fearless to raise their guns to him in order to carry out the order, and couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

But the situation in front of him couldn't help him think too much.

He looked at the thirty-eight hunters in front of him again: "Arrange your weapons, each of you should carry at least five throwing spears, a short knife, and those who can shoot arrows should bring bows and arrows, our goal is not to be tough with the marauders, so we must not passively stand in the way of the enemy's pursuit, but let the enemy pursue flawlessly." ”

Years later, when the crisis that engulfed the entire sector erupted, everyone would remember the name of the thirty-eight warriors - the Reaper Squad.

But what they reap is the life of the enemy.

But no one knew that the first battle these people participated in under the leadership of Han Jianfei was actually in a jungle, using the most primitive throwing spears, short knives, and bows and arrows.

"What if the enemy ignores us and goes after them?" Looking at the hunters in front of him as they sorted out their weapons, Kuria asked.

"We can't wait for them to find out what's going on here," Han Jianfei said, "we have to give them trouble first, and that's why I asked you to prepare these weapons." I spied a peek at the Marauders' camp on the way back—"

He crouched down and drew a simple map on the ground with the tip of a short spear: "...... This is the village of Ebon, up the river, here is the camp of the enemy, the camp is divided into two parts, near the river is the army of the marauders, about a thousand people, and near the woodland, is the place where the villagers of other tribes who have been plundered by them are concentrated, there are about seven or eight hundred villagers in it, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but they should also have some fighting ability. ”

Curia looked at the map and suddenly understood Han Jianfei's plan, and a chill rushed down his spine to the back of his head, making him shiver.

He glanced at Han Jianfei: "You're going to save these people?" Let them deal with the marauders who ride war beasts? ”

He knew very well in his heart that although there were many of these people, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and even if they rose up to resist, it would not have much impact on the enemy, and the only possible outcome was that these people were treated as a better target to help attract the attention of the marauders, but he did not know how many people would die because of it.

Han Jianfei didn't seem to have thought about the lives of these people in the slightest.

Even if it was a hunter who had been hunting in the jungle for a long time, Kuria was still full of fear of this man, as long as it had nothing to do with him, no matter how many people died, in his eyes it was just a consumable to use.

It's just that I don't know, when will he treat the Ebony tribe that he desperately saved today as another kind of expendable?

As if seeing through the hunter leader's thoughts, Han Jianfei smiled: "The marauders didn't slaughter these villagers, which means that they don't want their lives, what we have to do is to let them disperse throughout the jungle, and let the marauders divide their forces to chase, only in this way can we get enough time, and these villagers, the dead are certain, but not too many." ”

"Because the beasts are difficult to travel and fight in the jungle, the marauders have to spend more time capturing the villagers."

"What we're going to do is kill as many lone enemies as possible as the marauders begin to chase the fleeing villagers, but don't let them focus on the mouth of the lake."
