Chapter 204 Darkest Hour
Under the anxious gazes of the tribesmen, Lin Shuang spoke slowly.
"I don't know if you still remember that in previous years, after the strange phenomena, our supernatural powers would be lost for a period of time. This year's strange phenomena came before the beast tide, so we have to prepare in advance."
After Lin Shuang finished saying this, the old people knew that it was time to start working, but the newcomers were still curious as to why the witch doctor had called them out so late at night.
Lin Shuang summoned the orcs to work and asked the tribe leader for his opinion.
Lin Shuang knew that he could not replace these things. After all, the patriarch was in his prime and he could not overstep his authority. However, if he found anything, he could tell him in time.
After weighing the pros and cons, the clan leader decided to listen to Lin Shuang and deploy defenses in advance.
Ye Qiqi in his beast cave is very powerful, and he will definitely benefit if he listens to her.
Isn’t it true that all the houses and everything in the tribe have been built?
And it is true that the tribe has absorbed a lot of new females, and the number of single orcs has decreased by more than half recently.
Now is a good time to advertise.
Moreover, in previous years, the tribe suffered heavy casualties, wasn’t it because they didn’t think of making preparations in advance?
Now that someone has reminded him, the clan leader is extremely pleased.
There is a lot of time to rest in winter, so it is just right to work at night.
They had nothing to do during the day, so the patriarch decided to enslave them.
And seeing that Lin Shuang seemed a little anxious, the clan leader simply blew the horn that had not been used for a long time.
When everyone heard that they had to work at night to prevent casualties, they all actively cooperated and worked.
If you work now, maybe you will not die later. But if you don't work now and it is too late to deploy defense later, you will most likely be the one to die.
These orcs are quite clear-headed.
"We will follow the witch doctor's orders."
"Yes! Fight for our homeland!" I don't know who shouted this slogan from the audience, but everyone's hearts were instantly ignited.
"Fight for our homeland!"
Everyone kept repeating this sentence.
"Fight for our homeland! So, we have to complete the task at night. It will be a bit hard, but after we finish it, we will have a bonfire party in the square to reward everyone!"
After Lin Shuang finished speaking, many people began to cheer.
"Master Witch Doctor is mighty!"
"Master Witch Doctor, we will do it as soon as possible!" There were various voices from the audience. Lin Shuang saw that everyone seemed to be very enthusiastic and was satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
This is how it should be. Tribes should help each other.
"Okay, now split into two groups, one group will go to the back mountain to move stones, and the other group will go outside the city wall to dig traps!" After Lin Shuang finished speaking, everyone consciously stood on both sides.
Only some confused newcomers were left, hesitating and not knowing where to go.
"Hey, brother, it's okay, just come over here." Ning Shuang was in the team, and when he saw anyone confused, he would pull him to his own team.
The remaining orcs followed in.
The number of people in the two teams is about the same. The team led by Lin Shuang is going outside to dig traps.
Ye Lin led the team to move stones from the back mountain.
Some small animals choose to dig traps. They are not strong in other things, but digging holes is easy.
It is actually possible to move the stones, but if you do it yourself, your efficiency will be reduced, so you might as well not go.
Everyone has a kind of self-awareness, which feels magical.
Ye Qiqi saw the orcs working in an orderly manner in the distance, and felt deeply moved.
"The orcs in the tribe are really united."
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a united tribe. It feels like it's a natural civilized society like ours." Shi Jing also sighed.
Ye Qiqi nodded without comment.
She also felt that whether it was dealing with people or some management methods, she felt that Lin Shuang handled it very well.
"Why do you have such a feeling?" Ye Qiqi had heard about Shi Jing's experience and knew that she was a refugee.
But then, what had Shi Jing experienced before that made him sigh so much about the good things in their tribe?
Ye Qiqi looked at her curiously, afraid that she wouldn't say it.
After all, her curiosity had been aroused, and it would be a bit too much if she didn't say anything!
"I've seen too many tribes engaged in internal strife, and many of them don't regard females as normal people." Shi Jing actually had to thank the five higher-level beast husbands. If it weren't for their escort along the way, he wouldn't have made it to this tribe alive.
It is certainly feasible to take the water route, but under the water, the people there will not give way to a yellow-level man or woman like her.
You might be ambushed by some wild beast while walking in the water.
This world is inherently unfair to females. Females are not precious in every tribe.
Some large tribes even treat females as trading items. They directly cooperate with other tribes to exchange females in exchange for more useful things.
During the escape, Shi Jing had seen in the tribe that some females were forced to mate directly on the high platform to entertain the orcs below. She almost got caught in that same situation, but she managed to avoid it.
She couldn't bear to be exposed in broad daylight, in front of so many people...
During those days of fleeing famine, Shi Jing didn't know how he managed to hold on.
Fortunately, now everything has finally settled down.
After listening to Shi Jing's description, Ye Qiqi felt that she was quite lucky.
In the tribe, I was pampered by the beastly husbands, who also pulled me to work with them, and they also respected me very much.
In comparison, it seems that I had a harder time at the beginning, but life is ordinary and there is nothing bad about it.
Compared to Shi Jing, I am extremely lucky.
Many children were born, and all survived.
"It's okay, it's all over. We need to work hard and slowly establish rules in this terrible world. We don't have to charge at the front line, we can serve as think tanks." Ye Qiqi said this to Shi Jing, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
Yes, females are physically weaker, but that doesn’t mean they are useless.
She knows medicine and can teach the females in the tribe some basic common sense and how to take care of themselves.
In this way, they will take good care of their bodies and know how to take care of themselves.
These hygiene awareness is still too weak in the animal world.
They have to be established.
Sometimes Shi Jing simply couldn't stand her five previous beastly husbands. They would not take a bath for several days and then act violently. That period was simply the darkest moment in Shi Jing's medical studies.
