However, this small delusion was broken when they returned to the camp.

The camp was preparing for war - not even needed to go in, and Ash Rufate judged this from afar.

The trenches outside the camp have been widened, and many thin-pointed wooden stakes are inserted into the trenches. In addition, many triangular caltrops are also sprinkled outside the trenches. Of course, the so-called "caltrops" are actually not iron, but wood. But hard wood can also threaten people's feet. Several arrow towers made of wood were added to the original wooden wall.

All of this was during the period when Ashu Rufate left... In other words, within five or six days of leaving, the small tribe prepared for combat.

When their carriage appeared, it even caused a panic. With his superhuman vision, Ashu Rufate clearly saw someone running back and forth on the arrow tower.

But a little later, when they approached the camp further, the people inside recognized who the person was. Then, the door was opened, and a group of soldiers with weapons walked out and welcomed the big cart that returned to the trade with the most cautious attitude.

Wizard Asovin was one of them. When he saw the piles of salt bags in the car, even as a wizard, he had to express his surprise.

All commodities in the world have an approximate price, and salt is no exception. Aso Wen originally wanted to exchange a truck of fur for three bags of salt, but this time, there were a lot of salt piled up on the truck, at least twenty bags.

"You changed it?" The Chaos Wizard, who was a little surprised, couldn't help but ask.

"You can see it yourself." Claire replied.

"Good job!" Although the salt problem is no longer the most urgent issue, seeing such results, Asovin had to express his encouragement. He glanced at the girl with admiration. "It turns out that I thought you have great potential, but now it seems to be true."

Others around have also discovered this amazing achievement and are talking about it. This achievement means that they don’t have to worry about salt for a long time in the future—perhaps three or five years—for the future.

The following thing is very simple. After the vehicle was parked, someone moved the salt away, while Asovin stayed to explain what happened to Claire. As mentioned earlier, Asovin had made a promise before that if the task of purchasing salt could be completed smoothly, Claire would be able to gain the status of a plunderer. This is a very critical step, which means that she was regarded by the tribe as a formal warrior and had a certain say.

In fact, what happened during this period was very simple - that was a wandering war gang came to the vicinity. Moreover, unfortunately, this war gang had discovered this small tribe.

The so-called "war gang" is a special organization in the Chaos Territory. If it is said in the Southern Kingdom, it can be simply understood as a group of bandits. However, in the South, bandits and robbers are despised. Those arrested bandit leaders either end up with hard labor or gallows. In the Chaos Territory, the war gang is a form of organization approved by the gods. The leaders of the War gang are usually not inferior bandit leaders, but the Chaos Champions.

The biggest difference between the War Gang and the tribe is that there are always men, women, young and old in the tribe, and there are always some people who are not capable of fighting. The War Gang does not have such burden at all. All of these War Gang members are those who are full of ambitions and eager to please the gods to gain a higher status.

Of course, from another aspect, tribes have the ability to develop continuously. It is precisely with the existence of these elderly, weak, women and children that tribes can reproduce with childbirth, and the chaotic population will grow. If the war gang cannot be supplemented by outsiders, one will definitely die less.

In summary, it is natural for you to see that a war gang is always full of aggressiveness and always wants to attack prey that can be attacked around you. A tribe, unless it has great interests (such as taking advantage of the situation or something), or is to protect itself, or the other party is too weak, the desire to fight is not particularly strong.

A war gang came nearby... It's nothing, because sometimes the war gang is willing to live in peace with others - of course this is based on common belief, and the other party can provide them with soldiers. But the worst thing is that this war gang actually believes in the Blood God torture.

Anyone in the wilderness knows that terror and Slaanes are not in dealing with each other. Among the rules revealed by the Blood God to believers is to massacre Slaanes' believers as much as possible. Killing Slaanes' worshippers can make the Blood God more satisfied and happy than killing other preys.

So after both sides realized the existence of each other, as the leader of the tribe, the wizard Asowen immediately understood that the conflict was inevitable. Considering his lack of strength, Asowen immediately strengthened the fortifications of the entire tribe and planned to rely on the fortifications to fight. To be honest, if it were not for the limited time and the enemy was worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to launch an attack, otherwise the fortifications in the camp would be further strengthened.

"How many of them are there?" Claire asked.

"Around three hundred to four hundred." The wizard replied. "There are quite a lot of Chaos warriors. However, they have no cavalry and should have been completely lost in the last battle."

"Where is their leader?" This time Ashu Rufate asked.

Asovin glanced at Aso Ruffat, but finally replied. "If you're not mistaken, you should be a Chaos Champion."

"What are they doing during this period?"

"I believe they are raising their energy," said Asovin. "They didn't attack immediately because they were probably tired from the journey, so they wanted to take a break and recover for a while."

"Please let me take the liberty, but why can't we take the initiative to attack while they are resting? A sneak attack may offset our number disadvantage."

"No chance." Asovin frowned. It was not because Ashrufate's problem offended him, but because this problem aroused his uneasiness. "They carried limited supplies, but they did not take advantage of this time to hunt around and replenish food. I guess they have made up their minds to solve us in the short term!"

This is also the difference between the War Gang and the Tribe. The Tribe will be as self-sufficient as possible, while the War Gang's idea is to use war to support the war and focus the target on the spoils.

"If I was right, they would attack in just one or two days." Asovin said. "Fortunately, you are back, at least we can have one more combat power."

His eyes glanced at Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate had already stated his purpose when he came, so he would probably leave the tribe soon to avoid this difficult and dangerous battle - now the entire tribe already knows this "weak Southern chef" - but Ashuwen noticed that Ashu Rufate was very concerned about the inevitable battle, but not the kind of bystander care.

In fact, after saying that, Ashu Rufate seemed to have been bowing his head and pondering - if he wanted to avoid the war, then he would not have to spend such a great effort to think deeply.

The champion samurai warrior of terror... Ashu Rufate did not expect anything like "escape, avoid danger". He thought this was a great opportunity. It must be said that although Ahsovin's tribe is a Chaos tribe, he worships Slaanes, not terror. In this tribe, he can know a lot, but he can't do what he wants to know the most.

He needs to have a good talk with a terror believer - if it is a Chaos champion, it would be more appropriate.

"We only have two hundred people," Ashrufate said suddenly. "They have three hundred or more. According to my experience in the south, I think the key to this battle is bows and arrows." He said, because the Chaos believers do not know how to make gunpowder, even if they seized fire/gun cannons on the battlefield, they would not use it. "If there are enough bows and arrows, we can greatly weaken and kill them before the enemy gets into battle."

"We don't have many bows and arrows." Asovin sighed. "They are mainly hunting bows. They are okay to deal with wild beasts, but they don't have much effect on warriors in armor."

Asu Rufat looked at Claire next to him with a strange look. He remembered that she had a pretty good crossbow.

"The crossbow of Claire was the spoils her father received in the battle." Asovin noticed the confusion of Aso Ruffat. "The number of such good bows in the tribe is very limited, and I'm afraid it won't play much of a big role."

"How many deputy?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"Three mates, no more than five mates at most." This time it was Claire who spoke.

"That's it." Ashu Rufate thought for a moment. "Are there any other weapons in the tribe that can be used for combat? I mean something other than melee weapons."

"This... I'm afraid nothing." Asovin looked at Asofut in a little surprised.

While speaking, Ashrufate's eyes were looking at the wooden stake wall. There were only two ways to attack this camp: break the gate and climb the wooden wall. The gate area must be the focus of defense, but it is difficult to deal with the matter of climbing the wall. Because people cannot stand on the wooden stake wall. If the enemy uses a hook rope to catch the wall, then the only way to attack is to use those simple arrow towers to attack. However, there are too few arrow towers (and the bows and arrows are also poor), which means it is difficult to prevent the enemy from climbing into the wall.

In fact, according to the defensive arrangement he saw, Asu Ruffatt believed that Asovin had not come up with a good way to attack the wall climbing offensive. His defensive method was probably to send troops behind the wall and attack him the moment the enemy crossed the wall. However, if he could not be killed, he would soon fall into a melee. This was very beneficial for the attacking terrorist war gang. Because they had advantages in terms of numbers and combat power, and there were many elderly, weak, women and children in the tribe who were dragging him down.

If the Chaos champion had a normal mind, he would definitely attack in full swing. He would restrain the defenders' attention at the door, and then let the soldiers climb the wall with hooks and ropes from all directions. Hooks and ropes are very simple tools, and they would definitely have a lot of them.
