I am a Primitive Man

The arrival of the eldest senior brother and his group not only brought a smile to the face of the person from the Sheep Tribe, but also calmed the panic-stricken women who were driving the sheep and running towards the cave. When they saw the warriors of the Green Sparrow Tribe, armed and arriving, their anxious hearts settled down.

This sense of calm even exceeded the feeling when the chief was present.

The somewhat older primitive man who returned with the eldest senior brother felt quite uncomfortable about the arrangements made by the Wise Divine Child.

On the one hand, he did not believe that his tribe would bring back evil people to attack them.

On the other hand, he found it hard to accept the idea of himself and others joining the Green Sparrow Tribe, since many sheep remained in their tribe — it was not yet a matter of survival.

However, such thoughts had completely disappeared at this moment. Instead, he was very grateful that the Wise Divine Child could immediately send so many people to help their tribe migrate!

Because the evil enemies had already arrived at their tribe, without the Green Sparrow Tribe warriors coming, their tribe's people surely would not be able to resist those evil people!

The older member of the Sheep Tribe, seeing from afar a person from their tribe being beaten to death by these enemies, was especially enraged.

"¥%…" (muttering incomprehensibly)

With a mix of anger and some fear, he begged the eldest senior brother to kill those evil people who had come to their tribe and disturbed them.

He could not bear to see his people killed from afar for even a moment.

But the eldest senior brother did not heed the Sheep Tribe man's request. Instead, he led his people and charged directly toward the enemies.

He shouted commands such as "Attention! Form ranks!"—orders that the Sheep Tribe people did not understand.

Following the eldest senior brother's orders, the several dozen Green Sparrow Tribe warriors immediately formed up according to their usual training, quickly organizing into lines based on their different weapons.

The few Sheep Tribe men who were anxious to attack those few Semi-Farming Tribe people were still stunned upon seeing such an orderly formation.

They had never seen people lined up so neatly and could not understand the usefulness of such a neat formation.

But the shock they felt still rose.

"You take your men, go over there!"

Once the formation was set, the eldest senior brother pointed to Shang and then toward the rear of the few Semi-Farming Tribe people.

Shang, holding a long spear, took four or five people and immediately moved to one side.

"You all go over there."

He then told four others, pointing toward where the Semi-Farming Tribe people were located.

Those men took up their weapons and quickly left.

Shang's two groups did not charge straight at the Semi-Farming Tribe people but instead split left and right, moving around behind them.

After these arrangements, the eldest senior brother, carrying a shield, led the remaining twenty or so people in the formation the tribe had practiced the longest—the shield line at the front, long spears behind, and archers and slingers on the sides—slowly approached the few Semi-Farming Tribe members in the distance.

They moved very slowly, with the eldest senior brother controlling the pace at the front line, taking just a small step forward at a time.

They also took these steps at a low frequency, advancing only a short distance after a considerable amount of time.

This method had a purpose.

Because in their daily training, Han Cheng had repeatedly emphasized the importance of formation.

When many people formed a complete line facing the enemy, their potential for inflicting damage was greater.

Moving slowly maximized the integrity of the formation.

Another reason was that Shang and his group had not yet moved behind these people. If they moved too fast now, they might scare the enemy away.

Some of these instructions came from Han Cheng's usual training, others from experiences the eldest senior brother and his group had gained during past hunts.

"Don't shoot now!"

As they slowly closed in, some archers quietly drew their bows, aiming at the few Semi-Farming Tribe members.

The eldest senior brother noticed and quickly shouted, "Stop!"

The distance was still quite far, and the troops were not in position; shooting now might scare the people who had not yet fled.

If that happened, the formation would break as they had to chase, and they might not catch everyone.

When the Divine Child sent them, the instruction was explicit: if they encountered those attacking the Sheep Tribe and the enemy was few, they were to try to capture them all alive, while ensuring no harm came to their people.

Not letting these people escape was to prevent leaks of their own tribe's situation.

Keeping prisoners alive was to gather intelligence from them.

The eldest senior brother never slackened in following the Divine Child's orders.

Still, as they gradually closed in on the few members of the Semi-Farming Tribe, the eldest senior brother felt puzzled.

Because the few enemies, faced with the surrounding attackers, only climbed onto the backs of the larger beasts and did not flee immediately.

If the roles were reversed, the eldest senior brother thought he would have at least tried to flee with his tribe rather than be surrounded by them.

The Semi-Farming Tribe people were not foolish; they had strong confidence in the beasts they rode.

They believed that riding these animals would allow them to escape from the enemies that suddenly appeared.

Moreover, those enemies were still far away and could not attack them at such a distance.

Especially seeing their slow approach, the Semi-Farming Tribe people became even more confident.

From previous contact with other tribes, they knew those tribes were very afraid of riders on these beasts.

Even though the suddenly appeared tribe was larger in number, it would be no different!

They wanted to stay a while to memorize this tribe and report to the Wise Female Shaman.

Then, guided by the Shaman and led by their strong chief, they would return, defeat the newcomers, and capture all the sheep for their tribe!

What these few Semi-Farming Tribe people did not realize was that although riding such beasts could frighten many, it did not include the Green Sparrow Tribe.

Firstly, because they rode in front of the eldest senior brother and others, it was hard to associate them with the four-legged creatures.

Secondly, the Green Sparrow Tribe raised a herd of deer.

Although these deer were generally smaller than the larger beasts, they helped reduce the panic when facing larger animals.

In fact, with the Divine Child Han's various uses for the Green Sparrow Tribe's deer, the sudden appearance of the large beasts ridden by the Semi-Farming Tribe people excited the Green Sparrow Tribe members instead of frightening them!

Catching such large animals to bring back to the tribe, whether for pulling plows or sleds, was very valuable.

Therefore, what looked like an intense intimidation from the Semi-Farming Tribe's beasts became something that boosted the Green Sparrow Tribe's fighting spirit.

If the Semi-Farming Tribe people knew what the Green Sparrow Tribe was thinking, they wouldn't have waited until Shang's group almost circled behind them and the eldest senior brother's group was within fifty meters before shouting challengingly, then turning their beasts around and fleeing.

"Shoot!"

When the eldest senior brother saw them trying to escape, he finally gave the order to shoot.

The Green Sparrow Tribe archers, who had been wanting to shoot these guys for some time, immediately released their bowstrings.

Six bronze arrows, glowing a yellowish hue, flew straight toward the fleeing people.

Four arrows missed, but two found targets: one pierced the back of a man whose leg had already been bitten by a Sheep Tribe member. His skin did little to stop the arrowhead from piercing him.

With a dreadful scream, he fell off his beast.

Another arrow lodged in the back leg of one beast.

The beast, already not very brave, was suddenly in intense pain and ran wildly.

The rider panicked and tried hard to hold the reins but was thrown off after a few jolts.

Pale-faced, he scrambled up but was kicked back down by the beast's hoof.

When he struggled up again, a massive shield slammed into him, knocking him down once more before he could react.

After being stepped on several times and dazed, two men tied him up swiftly with ropes.

They then left him and chased the main force forward, where others were waiting to capture them.

The tied Semi-Farming Tribe man struggled fiercely, hoping to break free while no enemies guarded him, and return to report to the Wise Female Shaman.

He was confident, based on past experiences with ropes in his tribe, that he could free himself.

But the truth was harsh.

Despite struggling hard, the ropes showed no loosening at all.

He broke into a cold sweat from frustration.

Of course, he couldn't undo the ropes.

Although the two Green Sparrow Tribe men tied him up quickly, the binding method was personally taught by Han Cheng.

Simple but very effective.

For Han Cheng, who had watched many binding videos, this was nothing.

But for the bound man, it was a nightmare.

While he struggled, two more members of the Semi-Farming Tribe were caught during the pursuit by the eldest senior brother's group.

One was pierced in the back by a thrown bronze spear, the other, panicked, was thrown off his beast as it ran wildly.

Those fallen had no chance to resist and were knocked down and tied up again by the fierce Green Sparrow warriors.

Not far from the Sheep Tribe's cave, it became very lively.

The Green Sparrow Tribe shouted and rushed to surround the only two remaining riders from the Semi-Farming Tribe, just like during a hunt.

Previously, the Semi-Farming Tribe's two survivors had always been the hunters, but now they became the prey.

With their companions killed or captured one by one, their spirits collapsed.

They no longer thought clearly and only urged their beasts desperately to flee from the fierce enemies.

They deeply regretted staying too long there and not fleeing immediately when those terrifying people appeared.

Who would have thought these frightening people were not afraid of riders on beasts!

And could attack from such a long distance!

"Thunk!"

An arrow shot diagonally and pinned exactly the arm of a Semi-Farming man holding a rope.

The piercing pain made him instinctively loosen his grip.

He was thrown to the ground by the wildly running beast.

This noise terrified the last Semi-Farming man so much that he dared not look back.

One hand held the beast's reins, the other hugged its neck, running fast.

Only two men remained ahead of him.

And these two had no weapons!

He finally thought he was safe, that he could escape these brutal enemies and return to tell the Wise Female Shaman.

He grimly resolved to do so as he charged between the two Green Sparrow Tribe men.

But at that moment, the two unarmed men suddenly pulled their ropes hard, leaning back with force.

The rope that had been slack on the ground suddenly tightened.

This sudden change made the Semi-Farming man break into a cold sweat.

He hurried to pull the beast's reins to turn it around, but it was too late.

The beast's uncontrolled hooves hit the rope, tripped, and screamed as it collapsed.

The rider was thrown up and slammed hard to the ground.

The beast's substantial impact also knocked down the two Green Sparrow men…
