Chapter 296: Setting out for battle

In the next few days, under Han Cheng's leadership, the focus of work for the people of the Green Sparrow Tribe shifted entirely to preparing for the capture of the Bone Tribe.

Han Cheng continuously pondered their possible situations and the corresponding strategies. Occasionally, he would consult with the Eldest Senior Brother and Shaman and call the others together to make arrangements.Alll latest novels at novelhall.come of the Green Sparrow Tribe members were busy repairing weapons, and those who frequently participated in training sometimes conducted attack drills as per the requests of the Shaman.

Time passed by in this atmosphere, second by second, until the five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The eastern horizon began to glow with the dawn, gradually dispelling the darkness. After a night of deep sleep, everyone's spirits were replenished, and they were now fully awake.

The atmosphere in the Green Sparrow Tribe was different from before. There was an indistinct air of solemnity in the tranquil and quiet ambiance.

The fortress's gates were open, and thirty people stood in four rows in front of the gate, each under the leadership of their respective captains. They were the warriors of the Green Sparrow Tribe who were about to set out for battle.

Standing in front of the formation was Han Cheng, the one in charge of the armed forces. There was a half-filled basin of warm water on a makeshift table made of stones and wood.

A wild chicken with fluttering wings had its neck slit with a stone knife, and its blood dripped into the water, blossoming like peach blossoms.

After a stir with a long-handled ladle, bowls of warm water tinged with a faint red hue were handed to each person preparing for battle.

"Safety first. I will prepare a feast to celebrate your return," Han Cheng said, not particularly inspiring but practical, before raising the bowl of water mixed with blood and drinking it down.

With no wine available, they had to make do with this.

The warriors preparing for the expedition also raised their bowls, imitating the Shaman's actions and drinking down the contents. However, they drank too carefully, without a drop spilling down their chins, lacking the heroic spirit.

"Snap!"

Han Cheng slammed his bowl down after finishing, and the others, subconsciously following his lead, also smashed their bowls onto the ground. Many regretted their actions afterward, trying to salvage their bowls, only to find them shattered beyond repair.

What was supposed to be a solemn and stirring ceremony was somewhat botched at its climax.

Han Cheng felt like laughing but managed to suppress it forcefully.

"Go!"

Watching the children happily playing with the telephone bowls on the wall, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.

With everything that needed to be done already completed, all that was left was to leave it to fate and endure the long wait. Finding other activities to pass the time and ease the tension during the long wait was also a good idea.

The women's hairstyles in the Green Sparrow Tribe had significantly changed.

The catalyst for this transformation was the appearance of two braids on Milk Tea Sister's head.

When Han Cheng first arrived, everyone in the Green Sparrow Tribe had messy hair. However, after his intervention, they all sported uniform ponytails, albeit somewhat messy ones.

At first, everyone liked the new ponytails, but after some time, they started having other ideas, especially the women.

The appearance of Milk Tea Sister with two braids inspired them.

Without Han Cheng's knowledge, braids began to trend throughout the entire Green Sparrow Tribe.

When Han Cheng discovered this, he was both shocked and amused. It was understandable if Star, Little Beauty, Little Lily, and the other young girls wore braids, but why were Chen, Xi, and the other boys joining the fun?

Han Cheng couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sight.

Without much thought, Han Cheng, feeling shocked and irritated, immediately instructed these individuals to untie their braids. He felt like he would go crazy if this continued.

Seeing these guys dragging their feet, unwilling to untie their braids, Han Cheng wanted to kick them with his foot.

Unable to stand the resentful looks from these guys any longer, Han Cheng immediately made some regulations regarding their hairstyles.

Girls would wear two braids until they reached adulthood, then switch to a single braid. Boys would keep their hair short and tie a small braid on their heads, resembling seventh-grade sesame officials.

Adult men would tie up their hair using a tree branch as a hairpin for fixation, exuding a bit of ancient charm.

Han Cheng was the only exception, still sporting a ponytail.

These new hairstyles immediately delighted everyone, and they abandoned their attachment to braids. Han Cheng was relieved to be rescued from the overwhelming visual impact.

This was also good in another way; with fixed hairstyles, it was easy to distinguish between men and women of all ages. Unlike before, when one wasn't familiar, telling men and women apart required getting up close to look at chest sizes.
