Chapter 200 Messenger


Chapter 200 The Messenger

Early the next morning, light snow was still falling sporadically, and I didn’t know when it would end.

However, this little snow has no impact on their daily work.

Although the attack of the saber-toothed tiger last night caused him a lot of trouble, he had not been able to start work due to heavy snow outside in the previous few days. He had taken this opportunity to get enough rest. At this time, Zhou His emotional state is pretty good.

After breakfast, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the camp, which attracted the attention of the sentry,

At this moment, they saw a figure riding a horse in the distance, breaking through the snow, riding towards them on the snow waves.

Seeing this, the sentry quickly sent a message down below.

"Someone is coming on horseback! It's from the direction of Black Moon Village, it should be the messenger!"

Messenger is currently Zhou Xu's collective name for messengers between villages.

After receiving the notification from the guard tower, members of the nearby patrol team quickly greeted them.

If you are sure it is one of your own, then welcome him in. On the contrary, if he is not, then go ahead and do it directly.

However, at this stage, the person coming from the direction of Black Moon Village and riding a horse basically cannot be anyone else.

The messenger was quickly welcomed into the village and came to Zhou Xu.

“See the leader!”

“No courtesy.”

After briefly indicating that the other party would not be polite, Zhou Xu quickly asked about the situation in other villages.

"What is the situation in the other villages now? Has Black Moon Village been affected by the snowstorm?"

Under normal circumstances, news from the villages over there will be reported first. Send it to Black Moon Village, and then send it to him together with the messenger from Black Moon Village.

The same is true this time.

Facing Zhou Xu’s question, the messenger quickly answered.

"Reporting to the leader, there was heavy snow in Black Moon Village a few days ago. The wind and snow blew a little bit, but there was no blizzard. It was almost the same over in Salt Lake Village..."

While speaking, the messenger The situation in several villages during this period was described.

During those days of wind and snow, every village undoubtedly suffered more or less losses.

However, because Zhou Xu had made adequate preparations before winter, and except for Prairie Village, other villages were not directly swept by the snowstorm, so the losses in this area were also there. Within the controllable range.

At least compared to Prairie Village, which had suffered so much, it was much better.

But what the messenger reported next made Zhou Xu quickly frown.

“Such a thing actually happened over there in Barren Mountain Village?”

Did he never think about the primitive tribes over there in Barren Mountain Village, who were forced to make a living after winter and would turn to them? Get angry.

However, he obviously did not expect that the other party could actually stage such a big battle. It was obviously not like an ordinary primitive tribe.

At the same time, Wang Chuan, as someone who once came out of the depths of the mountains, has some understanding of those tribes. According to Wang Chuan, it is possible that multiple tribes came over at the same time.

This made Zhou Xu even more surprised.

Although they have successfully formed an alliance with the centaurs, in fact, in this primitive era when tribes competed with each other for limited food resources, it was not that simple to form an alliance between tribes. things.

Looking at Zhou Xu who was deep in thought, the messenger's report continued.

“And according to the message that Village Chief Shi Lei wanted to convey, there was a talkative guy on the battlefield trying to get involved with him, talking about time travelers and the like...”

“Wait. What did you just say?”

"Um, there is a talkative guy on the battlefield who is having a relationship with Village Chief Shi Lei?" "Not this sentence, but the next sentence."

"Are you talking about time-travelers or something like that?"

The moment this sentence came out of the messenger's mouth again, Zhou Xu was completely confirmed.

【You can’t be wrong, there is a time traveler on the opposite side! 】

[Barren Mountain Village was attacked by the coalition forces of the opposite tribes this time, and it was probably the work of this time traveler! 】

As for the appearance of the time traveler, Zhou Xu is not surprised at all now.

After all, from the time he traveled to the present, he has already met two time-travelers.

And these two time travelers all died in his hands!

A new time traveler has appeared in this world, and they are standing on the opposite side of him. This is not a good thing no matter how you think about it.

But Zhou Xu did not become too nervous because of this. After all, judging from the results of this battle, the opponent was not as strong as him.

Otherwise, Huangshan Village would have been attacked long ago.

"Did the other party show any special abilities?"

Faced with this question, the messenger shook his head.

“The news did not mention special abilities, but Village Chief Shi Lei mentioned that there was a guy on the opposite side who was quite capable of fighting. He almost died in the hands of the opponent. Thanks to the protection of the rattan armor, this Just to save my life.”

Hearing this, a strange color suddenly flashed in Zhou Xu's eyes.

[Shi Lei’s upper limit of bravery has reached the excellent level of three stars. Although he only has two stars now, his talent and strength are not comparable to ordinary two-star characters. He almost took Shi Lei’s life. 】

【The opponent must at least be a character with the same level of bravery! 】

In this era where tribes are the carrier and the scale of battles is still limited to small-scale armed conflicts, a single powerful warrior is enough to dominate the outcome of an entire battle!

So at this moment, Zhou Xu still wants to get a role like this.

It's just that he has already looked at all the people under his command with his 'Eye of Insight', and has made sure that there are no missing talents.

Under this premise, if he wants to obtain more talents, the only way at the moment is probably to annex other tribes, absorb their populations, and obtain talents from them.

Now the warrior who almost killed Shi Lei undoubtedly succeeded in attracting Zhou Xu's attention.

However, Zhou Xu had no intention of sending troops immediately to help the barren mountain village.

Don’t forget, things are not peaceful here in Prairie Village right now, but there is no spare force to deploy troops to other places.

Not to mention that he had reserved a sufficient population in Barren Mountain Village from the very beginning. He believed that this population, coupled with Shi Lei's abilities, would be enough to cope with the situation there.

Of course, under this premise, he did not intend to ignore it completely.

“Inform the Black Moon Village’s forging department to send the latest batch of forged swords to Barren Mountain Village as quickly as possible.”

Lost a few swords, It's not a big deal for Zhou Xu.

Because he also knows that once you use this weapon, you cannot guarantee that this weapon will never fall into the hands of the enemy.

But the opponent has no way to make it themselves. As long as the Barren Mountain Village can obtain more swords and arm more warriors, they will have a large enough advantage in terms of armed strength.

After explaining all the things that needed to be ordered to the messenger, Zhou Xu picked up a roll of animal skin paper from his desk and handed it to the messenger.

“Remember my order, take this blueprint at the same time, return to Black Moon Village, and let the village make the things on the blueprint as quickly as possible!”

“ Yes! ”
