Chapter Thirteen: The Solution to the Big Problem

  Xia Sha finished speaking in one sentence, and the Miao beastmen present changed their faces at the same time. Even Tala, who was good at fighting, frowned.

  "Boss, you're not planning to take on the Human Whistle Squad, are you?!" Towards the usually fearless and reckless Biguo, he actually hesitated this time, but none of the other dozen or so Mongols laughed at him, all wearing the same hesitant expression.

  "Why not!" Xia Zuo sneered in a low voice, the sentry post must have had enough food, and under the current circumstances, he could only focus on humans to get through the cold winter.

  "Older brother... the humans in the outpost are different from those weak mercenaries, they have iron-made weapons, armor, war horses, and even warriors who can use Dou Qi. With our current manpower, even if we gather all the hundred or so Mangke beastmen from the entire tribe, we're no match for them!" Bi Gu hesitated for a moment before trying to persuade Xia Zha to give up on this idea.

  Although the individual strength of the Kampas beastmen is far stronger than that of humans, they are just ordinary beastmen and not the army of the Kampas Empire. Moreover, almost all the villagers are old men, women and children. With their current strength, facing dozens of elite armed human knights would be no different from seeking death.

  Xia Sha smiled slightly, although Bei Gu opposed his opinion, but the other party could think in this way, rather than being impulsive and warlike, which already made him very satisfied.

  "Who says we only have over a hundred people? Don't we also have over three hundred half-beast warriors?! Those are the strongest half-beasts!" Xia Zuo's words were not wrong at all. When they were being chased and killed, the stronger half-beasts naturally ran faster, so the remaining half-beast slaves in the village were indeed very sturdy.

  "Those craven wretches..." Tara's face was instantly filled with contempt. "They don't even dare to come within a hundred miles of a human outpost."

  The attitude towards half-orcs is one of the few consensuses shared between humans and beastmen. These despicable, cruel robbers only attack beastmen when they are in sufficient numbers or have no other choice, whereas relatively weak individuals, namely humans, are the preferred targets for half-orc plundering.

  So the human border sentry, apart from monitoring the movements of the Kampas Empire, also had the regular task of clearing out the half-orcs. These human soldiers would not show any mercy to those green-skinned bandits, and over time, the areas patrolled by the human border guards were places that the half-orcs generally did not dare to approach.

  "If it's for freedom, then both can be abandoned!" Xia Zuo's face showed a strange smile as he muttered a phrase in an ancient language that Bi Ge and the others couldn't understand at all.

  "Go inform those half-beasts that after the village is built, they will do something for me. If it's done well, I'll let them leave!" Xia Zuo thought for a moment, and already had a plan in mind.

  "Oh!" Mantas responded with a swift step forward. Since Xiazuo had already made his decision, they would also oppose it. The brave Kampas beastmen would never fear any battle, and to die heroically in the arms of Kampas was the greatest honor for every beastman.

  After Mantas left, Xia Zuo began to explain his plan to the Munk beastmen. The straightforward Munk beastmen listened for five times before roughly understanding it. At this time, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at Xia Zuo were filled with admiration. Their new leader was simply a cunning Fox.

  Time flies, the sun sets slowly, red hanging on the horizon, several ghostly figures quietly emerge from behind a giant boulder in the wilderness to greet the sunlight.

  "Boss, that's the human patrol squad!" Biguo said with envy and jealousy, his face twisted in a scowl as he pointed at the patrol team walking slowly in the distance.

  Not to mention Bi Gu, Xia Sao couldn't help but feel envious as he gazed at the team that was radiating a dazzling glow under the warm sunlight.

  There were not many human sentinels, five in a row, with uniform silver armor shining brightly in the sun, holding unified shiny long spears, and even the war horses under them wore simple fine steel armor to protect their vital parts.

  Such equipment is a luxury that the beastmen, who are underdeveloped in iron smelting, cannot afford, and it's undoubtedly **naked**.

  Ren Xiaozuo's thirteen pairs of crimson eyes returned to the giant stone, and twelve pairs of eyes converged on Xiaozuo.

  "Boss, what's the plan?" Taramo eagerly rubbed his palms together, waiting for Shaso's orders. The only thread of concern in his mind also disappeared after seeing the equipment on those humans.

  In a beastman tribe, an iron weapon can make them show off for half a day, let alone that exquisite steel armor and sharp long spear!

  "Follow me, we'll prepare something good for them... Hehe..." Xia Zuo's eyes flickered with cunning light. Thirteen Mang beastmen against five elite armed human sentries, even if they fought hard, they had an absolute advantage, but Xia Zuo couldn't bear to let the twelve Mang beastmen behind him get hurt.

  They are his most loyal brothers and now the only young and strong fighting force in the tribe.

  Those human sentinels had been having too quiet a time for too long, so that the five cavalrymen were more like tourists than patrols.

  Xia Sha's eyes flickered with cunning light, the leader of the Mank Beastmen who had gradually become accustomed to life in the rubble wasteland, was going to teach these humans a good lesson today.

  Every day the same route, looking at the same scenery, boring patrols are simply a daily disaster.

  Five people were chatting casually, from time to time bursting into loud guffaws, clearly not discussing anything healthy or positive.

  A young soldier gazed listlessly across the wasteland, hoping to find something exciting, and the great heavens seemed to have really heard his call.

  Just as he was getting extremely bored, a short and thin figure appeared on the distant horizon which was gradually darkening. At first, the soldiers thought it was just a lost human, but after only a few breaths, he clearly saw the fluffy tail swishing behind that emaciated figure!

  "God above, a high-ranking beastman... Captain, look quickly!" The young soldier pointed excitedly at the distant shouting, a high-ranking beastman representing strength, but a weak and underage high-ranking beastman, in his eyes was undoubtedly a bag of moving gold coins.

  "We'll go up, whoever captures it will be rewarded with an extra hundred gold coins and three women!" The small team leader at the front of the queue immediately lit up his eyes, urged on his war horse and rushed forward.

  "Haha... this little thing must be mine, Captain, you can prepare the reward!" The rest of the soldiers also burst into laughter and charged forward on horseback, their arrogant and reckless smiles completely treating the small beastman as a captive.

  It was also unthinkable that a scrawny underage beastman would be a match for five fully armed and trained human warriors.

  Tall war horses start quickly, with a powerful impact that is far from comparable to the short-legged cargo horse. The four hooves fly by, and although there are only five riders, they also make a loud noise.

  The little beastman seemed to have just discovered these human knights, his thin face turned pale with fright, and he turned around and ran away, not even bothering to take the package in his hand, which fell to the ground, scattering dirty sweet potatoes all over the place.

  "Haha...there's actually a beastman as timid as this..." The little beastman's reaction caused the five cavalrymen to burst out laughing, and their captain even intentionally slowed down his horse.

  It's rare to have a little beastman appear, such a fun thing, how can it be played so easily? The five of them didn't rush to capture him, but instead laughed and drove the panicked little beastman away on horseback.

  And this pale-faced beastman, if not Xia Zha, who else would it be? After Xia Zha gave each of the twelve Mank Beastmen a punch, they finally agreed to let Xia Zha carry out the task of luring the enemy.

  Although there was no danger, a sturdy and aggressive Mank beastman who had always been eager to fight turned around and ran away after encountering humans. This matter seemed suspicious in every way.

  Listening to the urgent horseshoe sound behind him, Xia Zuo smiled slightly as he counted silently in his heart.

  The emaciated body was like a dying struggle, sprinting and suddenly accelerating, in the midst of intense panting, only a few breaths away from pulling away from the sentry.

  "Haha... the little monkey wants to run away!" Several people laughed and accelerated their horses, even if they were running, how could this little monkey outrun warhorses on the barren plain?

  Five warhorses accelerated, only to see the flustered halfling stop and turn around, looking at them with a strange smile.

  "Rumble..." Rocks and stones flew everywhere, a thick iron chain linked by fetters suddenly emerged from under the rubble.

  "Whoa..." The accelerating warhorses let out a mournful whinny, their sturdy hooves almost simultaneously clad in iron chains. Under the powerful impact, the warhorses along with the knights on them didn't even have half a moment to react before flying forward.

  Instead, they were met with the curved blades, long spears and giant stones of the Mongol warriors. Five scouts who had been thrown off their warhorses never got back to their feet after hitting the ground.

  A cold-eyed Xia Zuo walked forward, kicked the corpse on the ground, and the helmet rolled to one side, revealing the face that was still ferociously laughing underneath. His mouth was slightly open as if he wanted to shout something, but he no longer had the chance!

  Bi Gu's mouth was almost split to the back of his ears as he laughed, gleefully pulling out the armor and long spears from the dead bodies. One put on a helmet, another wore a breastplate, and in no time, it was quite lively. Under the busy hands of over a dozen Mangke beastmen, the five sentries were quickly stripped bare.

  "Boss, what about these horses!" The helmet on the human's head was a bit small, and when it was put on Bei Gu's head, it made his ferocious face look somewhat comical. However, even so, he seemed to have no intention of taking it off again.

  "Take those corpses away and kill the rest!" Xia Zuo looked at the war horses on the ground, whining as they tried to get up. With such a strong impact, plus the weight of armor and knights, their legs were already injured. Although he was reluctant, Xia Zuo didn't have any extra manpower to take care of them now.

  "Boss, these are rare warhorses..." Bi Gu looked at several horses reluctantly, but after seeing Xia Zuo's gaze, he still stopped the words in his mouth and picked up a curved knife to walk towards several neighing horses.
