I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 814, Nothing Is One Hundred Per Cent Certain

Su Bai slowly rose and stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, his black eyes observing the entire Tribe.

The floor-to-ceiling window of the Yong’an Building was probably the wisest decision he had ever made. Looking out, he could see most of the Tribe.

Fortunately, he had led people to invent glass before the Yong’an Building was constructed. Otherwise, this floor-to-ceiling window would have been replaced by a large wall, and the current unobstructed view would have been lost.

“Shaman, are you worried about the war?” Yu Ying brought over a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

“It’s not exactly a worry, just that this day has finally arrived,” Su Bai said lightly.

He reached out to accept the freshly brewed hot tea, his expression and tone appearing very calm and composed.

[The Shaman usually stands by the window when something is on his mind. He said Ah’Hua and the others will definitely be fine.] Yu Ying swished her pink fox tail.

Yu Ying was actually very worried inside, watching helplessly as Yan Hua and the others departed.

“If this mission fails, we’ll need to switch to another method. And, that would come at a steep price,” Su Bai lightly took a sip of tea.

“Shaman, are you saying we will not be absolutely victorious?” Yu Ying asked. She didn’t understand matters of war.

“Nothing is one hundred per cent certain. Everything has the possibility of failure. This mission is no exception,” Su Bai slowly set down his teacup.

“Then are Ah’Hua and the others in danger? Is our Tribe also in danger?” Yu Ying immediately became tense.

Her voice trembled, clearly somewhat frightened.

Yu Ying had not been this frightened in a long time. The last time she was scared was when Su Bai went to the Hunting Ground. At that time, she was truly worried whether the Shaman would return, or whether he would encounter Ferocious Beast attacks and so on.

“Don’t worry. They’ve been training for so long. I’m sure they’ll bring us good news this time,” Su Bai rubbed her head.

He did not want to see Yu Ying’s worried expression. She looked far too pitiful. It actually made him feel somewhat heartbroken.

“I trust Ah’Hua. She has returned safely from so many previous missions. I’m sure she can return safely this time too.” Yu Ying nodded heavily and continued asking, “But, Shaman, if something really does go wrong this time, what will happen to our Tribe?”

Yu Ying had just heard Su Bai say that nothing could be absolute. Moreover, she had also heard something about another method, which made Yu Ying somewhat worried.

“I’m not worried about Ah’Hua and the others being unable to defeat the Dark Scorpion Tribe people. I’m just worried that the Dark Scorpion Tribe people wouldn’t follow the pre-arranged ambush route.”

Su Bai swirled his teacup and continued, “Given that they’re only half a day’s distance from our Tribe, they could very likely threaten our Tribe.”

He still had confidence in Yan Hua and the others’ abilities. He just lacked confidence in the Dark Scorpion Tribe people.

They very likely wouldn’t follow his plan ‘to the T’. If they did not pass through the route where explosive packages had been pre-planted, intercepting them later would be somewhat difficult.

This was because most of the people dispatched were Warrior Trainees and soldiers. Their abilities were far inferior compared to the group sent by the Dark Scorpion Tribe.

Although Su Bai had also arranged quite a few Totem Warriors to go out, the numbers ultimately were not as many as the opposition. Moreover, explosive packages needed to be ignited in advance to be useful. If that group didn’t arrive at the designated area, there would be no way for the explosive packages to assist in battle.

“Shaman, then what should we do? The Chieftain and the others are still at the Tribe. They can certainly stop those people,” Yu Ying immediately said.

Yu Ying recalled the previous conversation about having Yan Jiao remain at the Tribe. At the same time, the Tribe still had many Totem Warriors staying behind.

“This is also why the Chieftain is currently drilling the Warriors. Now we can only see whether they follow the plan.” Su Bai glanced at the area below the second floor.

…

At the plaza position in front of the Yong’an Building, Yan Jiao was rallying a group of Totem Warriors.

For no other reason than, calculated by time, the Dark Scorpion Tribe people were currently one day’s distance from the Flame Dragon Tribe.

It was now early morning, past seven o’clock, which meant the Dark Scorpion Tribe people had already begun advancing towards the Flame Dragon Tribe.

Sha Hong, Qing Yan, and Ye Jiu had already departed with Yan Hua, Sha Lan, and the others. They had set off on hot air balloons.

They would arrive at the pre-arranged ambush location several hours earlier than the Dark Scorpion Tribe people. At the same time, preparations inside the Flame Dragon Tribe also needed to begin.

This was to prevent them from getting any closer, so they could intercept those people before they entered the Tribe.

“Shaman, do we need to pre-plant explosive packages around the Tribe now?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

“No need. If the Dark Scorpion Tribe people don’t pass through the ambushed explosive package area according to the plan, our Chieftain and Ah’Hua will execute a pincer attack from front and back.”

Su Bai took another sip of tea and continued, “With our Animal Hide Cloth soaked in Kerosene Fruit Juice, we’ll still have the upper hand.”

He had considered things thoroughly. When the Kerosene Fruit was previously harvested and the fruit juice got extracted, he had already instructed people to soak some Animal Hide Cloth in it as preparation.

Moreover, the catapults were items the carpenters had made some time ago, essentially catapults created using lever principles.

Originally, they were prepared to defend against some Ferocious Beast attacks on the Tribe, and also to be placed on ships as preparation.

But unexpectedly, the catapults’ debut performance might now be given to the Dark Scorpion Tribe.

Of course, all this depended on whether the Dark Scorpion Tribe people followed the plan. If they followed Su Bai’s plan, the Tribe’s catapults need not take action.

“That’s true. No wonder you don’t seem particularly nervous. Instead, you seem to be anticipating something,” Yu Ying suddenly understood.

It turned out she had been worrying pointlessly all along. Now she could finally set her mind at ease and prepare lunch.

“If my plan holds, we’ll hear good news tonight.” Su Bai said softly.

“Shaman, should we prepare some delicious food in advance? So when Ah’Hua and the others return, they can eat,” Yu Ying asked curiously.

“We can prepare some first. The specifics can wait until evening,” Su Bai said lightly.

“Alright, I’ll have those maidservants prepare the kitchen right away,” Yu Ying nodded.
