Chapter 11 Never Betray
Near midnight, the Garlic Tribe was attacked again by the Barbarian Tribe.
A total of 25 Barbarian warriors wearing animal skins, holding stone axes, rushed all the way from the western forest.
The hunters of the Garlic Tribe shrank their front early this time, holding bows and arrows. Under the command of the two heroes, the Pig and Fish brothers, they stood at a distance and shot arrows at the Barbarian warriors.
In the long-range shooting baptism, the charging Barbarians were full of arrows. They seemed to have no experience in fighting with bows and arrows, relying entirely on animal skins and bodies to resist, and only six or seven people rushed to the hunters in the end. The others fell to the ground one after another.
With the absolute advantage in numbers and the blessing of bows and arrows, the Barbarian warriors were completely wiped out this time. In addition to the enemies killed by bows and arrows and those who escaped, the Garlic Tribe also captured four Barbarian warriors.
The prophet interrogated them separately.
"Where is your tribe?"
"Never betray!"
"What demon do you believe in?"
"Glory belongs to the Lord God! All you heretics must die!"
"How many of you are there in total?"
"Never betray!"
"If you tell us the truth, we will let you go."
"Never betray!"
...
The four did not reveal anything.
The experienced shaman chose another way.
"Your bravery and loyalty have won our recognition. To show our respect, I now invite you to join our tribe."
"If you lose the battle, you will only be punished by the demons and the tribe when you go back."
"Here is wheat to fill your stomach, bows and arrows to make you stronger, delicious garlic, dried meat and salt."
"If you become a member of the garlic tribe, it will not be considered a betrayal, because you will believe in the great God Yao, and with the protection of the gods, the demons cannot hurt you."
The four warriors were silent for a moment, and exclamation marks appeared above their heads.
"Join the garlic tribe!"
"Join the garlic tribe!"
They shouted in unison.
Lu Yao sighed, the shaman was really good at judging people.
Then, the four barbarians explained everything.
"The tribe is in the northwest of the mountain, next to a huge cave, with a total of 82 people. Excluding the prophet and the old and weak, there are 40 available warriors."
"There is a statue next to the cave, a god wearing the fur of a beast, called Jack."
"Jack needs us to offer a living sacrifice, peel off the fur of the beast, and we offer all the beasts we hunt to Him, so the tribe must rob food."
"The tribe has received the blessing of Jack, and two beast heroes were born. They can both change into beast form and are the most powerful warriors in the tribe. Everyone wants to be a hero."
"One hero disappeared when attacking the forest tribe, and he should be dead."
"There is another hero left in the tribe."
"Barbarian tribe, enemy! Demon, enemy!"
"Never betray the garlic tribe!"
They shouted the same slogan as before, and the change of camp was smooth.
Four barbarians joined the tribe. They took off their past animal skins, put on leather vests like tribal uniforms, held bows and arrows, and quickly integrated into the local area.
What surprised Lu Yao was that the demon Jack had no idea how to run a tribe, or he had never thought about developing step by step. He had been controlling the barbarians to hunt and plunder everywhere to gain faith.
After the Garlic Tribe was equipped with bows and arrows, the threat of the Barbarian Tribe was greatly reduced. Lu Yao's top priority was to further increase the faith value. The more strategic reserves, the better.
After repelling the second attack of the Barbarian Tribe, the Garlic Tribe ushered in another period of stability.
The pixel people of the Salt Pond Tribe kept coming over, buying garlic and bows and arrows from the Garlic Tribe, and then selling salt, medicinal materials and farm tools that were lacking locally.
Later, the Salt Pond Tribe even built a wooden house here as a store for long-term transactions between the two tribes.
As the exchanges and transactions between the tribes increased, the hunters with bows and arrows continued to expand their range of movement, and the Garlic Tribe attracted more immigrants.
The population in the upper right corner became 247, and the faith value also rose to 448 points.
Within a day, the faith value continued to surge, causing Lu Yao's previously suppressed thoughts to emerge.
The conversion of the [Apostle] in the temple requires 500 points of faith.
Currently, there is only 52 points left.
If we hold on for a while longer, relying on the two props [Energy Cane] and [Cactus Follower], which increase the faith by 2 points per hour, and a little immigration, there may be a chance.
Having said that, until 8:30 in the morning when Lu Yao left home for work, the faith value was still stuck at 459 points.
…
Lu Yao was a little absent-minded that day.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and he just wants to rush home and stare at the simulator.
Although the [Energy Cane] can replenish energy in the middle of the night and make him feel less tired. But once he is separated from the cane, the muscle soreness and fatigue of the body are still like a shadow, and the physical consumption is still real.
The cane is more like a powerful stimulant, which can maintain personal energy for a short time, but it does not change the limit of the human body, and sleep is still indispensable.
In addition to understanding the mechanism of the cane, Lu Yao also pondered the old god apostle in the temple.
Is she worth such a big investment?
After all, he is a capable subordinate of the God of the Forest. Xiaohuo, a handyman guarding the temple, is very useful, so the apostle should not be too bad.
The most important thing is that Lu Yao has not found other ways to create apostles. At present, it seems that the only way is to naturalize the apostles of the old gods.
After all, apostles are also high-level soldiers above heroes and prophets, right?
He was filled with expectation and anxiety, and he was fidgeting in his chair.
After finally getting off work, his boss suddenly arranged a temporary task for him, asking him to go to the boss's house 20 kilometers away from the company to deliver concert tickets to a certain singer.
When Lu Yao returned home from work, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
He took off his backpack and immediately went to the computer regardless of the sweat.
The faith in the upper right corner of the screen has become 489 points. Basically, magic items are used to increase faith, and the population growth becomes very slow.
So Lu Yao went to take a shower first to wash away the smelly sweat.
Then he walked to the window, blowing the night breeze, and looked at the street lights in the alley.
No one is hanging there today.
This is also a matter of course. If someone is hung up there every now and then, that demon player is provoking the entire police system.
Lu Yao returned to the computer.
Faith is displayed as 501.
He opened the temple interface and clicked on the [Apostle] on the sarcophagus icon.
——It takes a lot of faith to resurrect it and convert it into an apostle of your temple. Do you need to spend 500 faith points to convert an apostle?
【whether】
Lu Yao put his mouse on [Yes] and did not click on it in a hurry.
He asked the cactus beside him: "Xiaohuo, does it cost so many faith points to resurrect an apostle?"
"Apostles are the most important arms of every god. This is completely worth it, but..."
"But what?"
"Your humble servant never knows this apostle of the forest god in the sarcophagus, and has no idea what kind of abilities she has."
"Do you know all the apostles of the Forest God?"
"Uh... I remember the chief apostle Mr. Forrester. He is very powerful and can summon the soul of the forest. I have never seen the others. They are all walking the world for the god of the forest."
Lu Yao looked at the cactus with an unkind expression.
I bet you know one.
Xiaohuo seemed to feel the pressure, and said nervously: "Lord God, I just, just say, I really don't know this apostle. Different apostles have different abilities, some are good at fighting, and some are good at investigating... "
“But an apostle is definitely worth it, and you need a walking apostle too.”
Lu Yao returned his gaze to the computer screen.
Done!
He clicked [Yes].
The faith value was immediately cleared to only 1 point left.
A reminder pops up in Pixel World.
——The sleeping apostle heard your call. The power of your faith has repaired her broken body and dried soul. She is quickly recovering from the sea of immortality.
——[Apostle] Forest Sword Isabel, follow your will, execute your oracle, and fight for the fire of your faith.
