Chapter 285

Not far from the Green Sparrow Tribe, the leader of the Bone Tribe led his people, hiding in the grass and trees, quietly observing the tribe.

After watching for a while and seeing no opportune moment, they openly came out with ladders and weapons, heading towards the main gate of the Green Sparrow Tribe to the south.

They were familiar with the terrain around the Green Sparrow Tribe and knew that besides the main gate, a wide ditch surrounded the rest of the tribe, making it difficult to approach the walls.

So they carried ladders and headed straight for the gate.

The Second Senior Brother stood on the wall with a sling, pacing in a small circle. After sleeping for the morning, he looked very energetic.

"Huh, why are there more people coming?" He saw the Bone Tribe and then shouted to sound the alarm, banging on the gong.

The sound awakened some people still sleeping in their houses and quickly ran towards the wall.

The shaman also came out of the house and hurried towards the wall.

Before he could get there, the people who had rehearsed many times had already done what needed to be done.

"Why are these guys here again?" The second senior brother had already recognized the newcomers' identities.

Looking at this group of people who seemed somewhat strange compared to before, he felt puzzled.

He told the shaman about what he had seen.

Before Han Cheng arrived, the shaman was the wisest person in the Green Sparrow Tribe. After hearing what the second senior brother said and considering their tribe's current situation, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Be prepared; they want to attack the tribe," the shaman shouted to the people on the wall.

Then, he climbed a shaky ladder.

Facing such a situation, even though he was old, he was still unwilling to lag.

Upon hearing this, the second senior brother and the others were stunned, and many laughed.

They still remembered vividly the scene when the Flying Snake Tribe came to attack them in the winter.

Although they hadn't practiced much at the time, they were able to defeat the Flying Snake Tribe—not to mention now.

Although there were fewer people in their tribe without the leaders, there weren't as many people from the Bone Tribe as there were from the Flying Snake Tribe back then.

In their original plan, including the Bone Tribe, several nearby tribes were supposed to be merged gradually into their tribe.

The people of the Bone Tribe had long been on his mind.

Now, if a fight broke out, many people from the Bone Tribe would inevitably die. For the shaman, this would weaken the strength of their tribe, so he gave this instruction.

Then he spoke to the leader of the Bone Tribe, gesturing to convey his meaning.

The shaman was more inclined towards the strategy formulated by Han Cheng, which aimed to avoid casualties as much as possible.

So, he wanted the leader of the Bone Tribe and others to stop and not move forward.

When the leader of the Bone Tribe saw the shaman's demeanor, his smile widened. He thought the shaman was afraid, so he made such a gesture.

So after the shaman shouted and gestured, he not only didn't stop but urged everyone to hasten their pace.

The other people of the Bone Tribe, seeing the usually mysterious shaman now acting like this, were even more certain. They believed the words the leader had said before, thinking they could easily take down this wealthy tribe.

"Shaman," the second senior brother shouted, holding a sling.

The shaman sighed when he heard his words and saw the Bone Tribe people, who were now speeding up rather than slowing down. He didn't say anything further, nodded vigorously at the second senior brother and others, then found a place where he wouldn't be in the way and entered a state of observation.

"Attack!"

After seeing the shaman nod in agreement, the second senior brother didn't waste any words. After shouting, he swung the sling he had prepared over his head.

With sharp whistling sounds, the projectiles flew out.

The others either swung their slings or shot arrows, aiming at the people of the Bone Tribe, who were still sixty to seventy meters away from the wall.

The Green Sparrow Tribe had selected thirty people who regularly participated in training, but that didn't mean the others had completely given up on practicing slings and bows and arrows.

Few people in the tribe disliked these two things, which could greatly extend the distance of attack.

Their accuracy might not be as good as those specially selected, but the distance wasn't much different.

At a time like this, they could still play a significant role.
