Chapter 904, Ingenious Advantages

Translator: Silavin

 

Yan Hua blinked her red eyes as she arrived on the second floor, holding a pillow in her arms.

 

Tonight marked her first experience with insomnia, never having encountered this situation previously.

 

Like tonight’s constant tossing and turning without sleep. Originally intending to relieve Sha Lan for patrol duties, the other party refused.

 

She could only lie in bed continuously staring at the ceiling with open eyes. Finally, unable to endure any longer…

 

Hearing sounds downstairs, she emerged holding her pillow, her facial expression appearing quite resentful.

 

“What’s wrong? Seems like you can’t sleep.” Su Bai had just finished eating the final orange segment.

 

Ga had just departed from the Yong’an Building. He originally intended to read a while longer after she left.

 

“Shaman, am I disturbing you?” Yan Hua asked tentatively. If disturbing him, she would definitely leave immediately.

 

“No. Come, tell me why you can’t sleep.” Su Bai warmly beckoned.

 

Yan Hua tentatively brushed aside her black long hair, revealing her snow-white neck and chin.

 

Holding her pillow, she sat opposite Su Bai, saying softly. “I don’t know why either. Perhaps it’s… perhaps regarding the Dark Scorpion Tribe matter.”

 

Most likely stemming from seeing intelligence agents two days ago, plus the Tribe currently cooperating with Ga’s theatrical performance.

 

Meaning after tomorrow, intelligence agents would transmit the Flame Dragon Tribe’s information to the Dark Scorpion Tribe. After this year’s snow season ends, the Dark Scorpion Tribe would definitely dispatch people to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

 

Perhaps this was what had Yan Hua worried, though her concerns were for quite far into the future.

 

“Relax. When they transmit the information back, it’ll already be the rainy season. Once the rainy season ends, the snow season will quickly arrive.” Su Bai personally peeled an orange, continuing. “Although there are twenty-plus days of buffer between the two periods, even if they rush here, they won’t be able to return to their Tribe. So, they won’t come until next year.”

 

Yan Hua’s delicate, pretty face shook negatively. Worriedly, she said. “Shaman, maybe they would want to settle in our Tribe? Or maybe they would want to directly seize our Tribe?”

 

“No worries. I’ve already come up with response strategies for those cases. Even if they bring people to occupy our Tribe, I will do everything in my power to stop them.” Su Bai smiled slightly, counter-asking. “I’ve worked so hard managing the Tribe to this state. Do you think I’d yield it to others?”

 

His expression remained extremely gentle, beyond the current nighttime hour, he also wanted to provide Yan Hua with a sense of security.

 

Because Su Bai understood that since the Flame Dragon Tribe progressively improved, some of the Leaders of the Tribe frequently worried about losing everything that had been built up so far.

 

Internally, naturally they appreciated the Flame Dragon Tribe’s continuous improvement. They were just simultaneously worried about other Tribes’ covetous eyes.

 

The primitive era was just like this. Many Tribes, seeing another Tribe’s prosperity, would try to seize that Tribe.

 

They fundamentally would not consider self-development, wanting only to directly claim ready-made benefits.

 

“Shaman, although we now possess recurve bows, explosive packages and firearms, we still lack men.”

 

Yan Hua’s red eyes appeared somewhat dejected. Continuing, she said. “I still worry the Tribe will…”

 

Yan Hua couldn’t bear continuing. Currently, confronting Small Tribes and Medium Tribes remained manageable.

 

However, the Dark Scorpion Tribe was a Large Tribe. Such a massive Tribe possessed an extraordinary army.

 

Yan Hua understood that even with far more advanced weaponry, the enemy’s numerical superiority remained tremendous. If the Dark Scorpion Tribe wanted to, they could wear them down with such numbers.

 

“So, our Tribe is currently researching new weapons, correct? After the rainy season ends, we should have some results.” Su Bai rubbed her head, continuing. “Moreover, we can prepare things in advance. I won’t be the one receiving a beating.”

 

He actually did not want to explain all this to everyone. Because sometimes, saying too much proves less effective than directly demonstrating.

 

It was better to just show them the result than explain. But since Yan Hua was now asking… Additionally, seeing her so worried, he could not bear to conceal such matters. Sooner or later, they would need to know anyway.

 

“Shaman, is creating the cannon very simple? Can it be completed in time?” Yan Hua innocently blinked her red eyes.

 

“Yes. We’ve already manufactured firearms. The principles of making a cannon is similar to creating firearms. It is not that different.” Su Bai smiled.

 

Currently, the only challenging aspect involved overcoming barrel construction, which demanded extremely high standards. Otherwise, the barrel might just explode while in use.

 

“Since weapons are going well, Shaman, you just mentioned things we can prepare in advance. Does Shaman have some excellent strategy?” Yan Hua asked curiously.

 

“What do you think our Tribe’s advantages are?” Su Bai asked back.

 

“Our Tribe’s advantages are its excellent merchandise, favorable position, followed by… followed by great training methodologies, plus numerous superior weapons.” Yan Hua answered without hesitation.

 

“You’ve omitted the most crucial point, our communication speed is much faster,” Su Bai smiled.

 

“That’s right! I nearly forgot about this. Does Shaman’s plan involve arranging personnel to infiltrate the Dark Scorpion Tribe?”

 

Yan Hua’s eyes widened incredulously. Worriedly, she said. “Shaman, a stranger probably cannot instantly integrate. Given their status as a Large Tribe, they should be extremely cautious.”

 

“No need to integrate. Just follow those intelligence agents, observing which Tribes they return to.”

 

Su Bai gently shook his head, continuing. “Simply knowing the other unknown subordinate Tribes would do. This way, we can obtain more information from them. Why do we need to risk traveling so far?”

 

He had no intention of dispatching his people to such distant locations immediately. It will take too long for them to come back.

 

Although they possessed carrier pigeons to send messages, those Warriors traveling to the Dark Scorpion Tribe would suffer great hardship.

 

Unable to infiltrate the Dark Scorpion Tribe internally, they would need to continuously station themselves in the forest, which would pose plenty of dangers.

 

“True. Anyway, those intelligence agents’ Tribe also maintain quite the distance from us. We can find opportunities for a breakthrough during this time.”

 

Yan Hua brushed aside her black hair, continuing. “Ah, we also have hot air balloons. So, we can fly ahead to distant locations for advanced reconnaissance.”

 

“Correct. When they approach our Tribe, we can prepare in advance. Those explosive packages will be enough to eliminate some of their Warriors.”

 

Su Bai pinched Yan Hua’s pretty face, asking. “How about it? Still worried now?”

 

“I’m not worried now. Shaman’s strategies are extremely useful. Moreover, we still possess Kerosene Fruit, another extraordinarily powerful weapon.”

 

Yan Hua smiled brilliantly, holding the orange Su Bai had just peeled for her.

 

She felt somewhat unexpectedly favoured, her pale white palms continuously holding the orange, reluctant to eat it.
