A war without preparation is tantamount to suicide.
Wei Xun was well aware of the strength of the indigenous people, because their scattered tribal system and their habits in the jungle allowed them to exert greater power in the jungle.
He didn't want endless wars, so once he went to war with the natives he had to defeat them with thunder and lightning, otherwise these guys hiding and harassing him would be a nightmare.
Wei Xun did not have any extra time to waste on such things. It was not that he did not have the confidence to fight a tug-of-war with the other party, but that his mind was completely focused on order. The Blood Battle Tribe was his true home. Compared with order, this land was still too comfortable.
The current population of Order has exceeded one million, with 50,000 people in the Blood Battle Department alone, and thousands of professionals among them. To put it simply, in Order, Wei Xun is like a general, but here, he is just a captain of a thousand men.
People go to high places and water flows to low places. This is an eternal truth.
Wei Xun is now like a highly efficient machine, with all his energy focused on completing the orders issued by Chen Feng. He is waiting, waiting for Chen Feng to come again and see all his efforts.
The best outcome would be that the adults are satisfied and let him return to serve the order.
What Wei Xun has to do now is to achieve results in exchange for the bargaining chips to go back.
These natives are first-class warriors and hunters. They are quite dangerous, more dangerous than many professionals. They can be regarded as warriors trained since childhood. They are proficient in stealth, bows and arrows, tracking and other skills, and most of their tasks are hunting and fighting.
The wars between indigenous tribes were brutal and bloody, and occurred frequently throughout the overseas archipelago.
… … … … …
A day passed quickly, but the jungle that seemed a little dark a day ago was now ablaze with fire. In addition, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood plasma.
The fire did not cover up the smell of blood, which was also mixed with some barbecue smell. However, thinking of those figures burned by the fire, even the most elite warriors of the Order could not help but feel retching and their stomachs were churning.
Wei Xun stood aside with a solemn expression on his face. He looked pale, as if he had suffered a serious illness, but there were no wounds on his body. Obviously, the exhaustion at this time did not come from the flesh and blood, but from the soul.
Personally ordering the burning of tens of thousands of natives was obviously too much for even Wei Xun to bear for a while.
The natives are not insects, nor are they wild beasts with fur and claws. Instead, they look similar to humans. They also walk upright and have facial features. In a sense, they are indeed intelligent creatures.
It is precisely because of this that their wisdom is also elevated to the highest point.
Even though Wei Xun had been prepared for this, and had persuaded the Naya people to join the siege, and even mobilized a large number of professionals and advanced equipment, he still underestimated the determination of the natives to resist.
Just like when humans exploded in despair when faced with zombies and insect siege, when faced with the attack from Wei Xun, the natives did not simply escape. Instead, they strengthened their courage and launched a frantic counterattack.
In addition, there are unique creatures in this jungle, the corrosive ants.
Strictly speaking, these ants are the most dangerous. They have very sharp jaws. Even though they are only the size of a thumb, their numbers are endless and they can secrete special acid, which allows them to eat any enemies that stand in their way when they move in groups.
Moreover, the acid is slightly toxic. Once it enters the target's body, it will slow down the enemy's speed. Even a gold-level heavily armored elephant will be devoured in a short time.
The natives have lived here for countless years. Even though they cannot control the corrosive ants, they have mastered the ability to avoid their attacks. They will smear a thick layer of plant juice on their bodies. The corrosive ants naturally hate this juice, so they will not attack the natives.
However, the corrosive ants will show no mercy to other invaders. Relying on professionals and guns, Wei Xun's large army had already advanced into one-third of the jungle. However, the appearance of the corrosive ants disrupted this expected victory.
The corrosive ants appeared too quickly, and by the time Wei Xun was prepared, more than dozens of professionals had already been killed in the ant colony.
The jaws of those corrosive ants are extremely sharp. When they bite the target, they will instantly destroy the enemy's defense. Rescue is meaningless. It can be seen with the naked eye that those companions who accidentally fall into the ant colony have their flesh and blood eaten away into piles of bones.
Even the professionals were extremely powerful, yet they still suffered such injuries, not to mention the ordinary soldiers. Even though their bodies were transformed by energy, their reaction abilities were slightly weaker after all. When facing the corrosive ants, they had almost no chance of escape, and more than three hundred people died.
Wei Xun encountered a rare failure in his life!
Facing the double-sided ambush of the natives and the corrosive ants, the more than 2,000 people brought by Wei Xun were reduced to more than 1,300 people...
One third of the combat power has been reduced, and war will result in casualties. Wei Xun has long understood this truth, but now victory or failure is related to his own transfer. Wei Xun will not allow any person or thing to become an obstacle to returning to order.
Wei Xun is crazy!
The natives were difficult to tame.
They are very xenophobic, and if you don't scare them by killing them, they will treat you as a soft persimmon to be taken advantage of.
Wei Xun could not tolerate such a casualty rate, so he chose the most vicious method, fire attack!
Once a fire attack is launched, the casualties among the natives will become uncontrollable.
But at that time, Wei Xun no longer had the energy to care about the lives of the natives. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was revenge!
The things Chen Feng left behind were actually very mixed, including almost all the necessities for life and combat.
A special oil with added animal fat, it even has some ability to resist the water element.
This meant that the fire was difficult to put out and time passed quickly.
Wei Xun looked at the rare solemn atmosphere in the camp, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it seemed a little cruel.
"Clean up the battlefield!"
He looked up into the distance and murmured, "The living natives were captured and made into slaves, and the heads of the rest were chopped off and made into Jingguan Towers. I want the remaining natives to understand one thing..."
"I have only one principle: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
For Wei Xun, the indigenous people still have great significance. The development of power requires a large number of slave labor forces. One failure is nothing. After all, there are some other forces distributed on this island.
