Chapter 11 Never betray

 At midnight, the Garlic tribe was attacked a second time by the barbarian tribe.

A total of twenty-five barbarian warriors wearing animal skins, armed with stone axes, rushed over from the forest to the west.

The hunters of the Garlic tribe shrank their battle line early this time, armed with bows and arrows. Under the command of two heroes, the Pig Fish Brothers, they stood in the distance and shot arrows at the barbarian warriors.

 In the baptism of long-range shots, the charging barbarians were covered with arrows. They seemed to have no experience in fighting with bows and arrows. They relied entirely on their hides and bodies to resist. In the end, only six or seven people rushed in front of the hunter. Others fell to the ground.

With the absolute numerical superiority and the support of bows and arrows, the barbarian warriors were completely wiped out this time. Apart from the enemies who were killed by bows and arrows and escaped, the Garlic tribe also captured four barbarian warriors.

 The Prophet interrogated them individually.

 “Where is your tribe?”

 “Never betray!”

 “What is the devil you believe in?”

"Glory to God! All you heretics must die!"

“How many people are there in total?”

 “Never betray!”

“If you come out honestly, we will let you go.”

 “Never betray!”

 …

These four people did not reveal anything at all.

 Experienced shamans choose another way.

“Your bravery and loyalty have earned our recognition, and to show our respect, I now invite you to join our tribe.”

“If you are defeated, you will only be punished by demons and tribes 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 you will be protected by the gods, and the devil will not be able to harm you.”

 The four warriors were silent for a moment, with exclamation marks appearing above their heads.

 “Join the Garlic Tribe!”

 “Join the Garlic Tribe!”

 They shouted in unison.

Lu Yao lamented that the shaman was really accurate in seeing people.

 Then, these four barbarians explained everything.

“The tribe is in the northwest of the mountain, next to the huge cave, with a total of 82 people. Excluding the prophets and the old and weak, there are 40 available warriors.”

“There is a statue beside the cave. It is a **** covered in beast skins, called God Jack.”

“God Jack needs us to offer living sacrifices and skin the beasts. The beasts we hunt are all sacrificed to him, so the tribe must rob the food.”

“The tribe received the gift from God Jack and gave birth to two beast-morphing heroes. They can both transform into beast forms and are the most powerful warriors in the tribe. Everyone wants to become a hero.”

“A hero disappeared while attacking the forest tribe. He should be dead.”

 “There is still a hero left in the tribe.”

 “Barbarian tribes, enemies! Demons, enemies!”

 “Never betray the Garlic Tribe!”

 They chanted the same slogans as before, and the change of camp was smooth.

 Four barbarians join the tribe. They took off the animal skins of the past, 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 didn't know how to run the tribe at all, or he didn't even think about developing it step by step. He has been manipulating the barbarians to hunt and plunder everywhere in order to gain faith.

 After the Garlic tribe is equipped with bows and arrows, the threat from the barbarian tribe is greatly reduced. Lu Yao's top priority is to further increase his faith value. The more strategic-level reserves the better.

 After repelling the second attack of the barbarian tribe, the Garlic tribe ushered in another period of stability.

  Pixel villains from the Yanchi Tribe keep coming over to buy garlic and bows and arrows from the Garlic Tribe, and then sell salt, medicinal materials and agricultural tools that are lacking locally.

 Later, the Yanchi tribe even built a wooden house here as a store for long-term transactions between the two tribes.

As exchanges and transactions between tribes increased, hunters with bows and arrows continued to expand their movement range, and the Garlic tribe attracted more immigrants.

  The population in the upper right corner has become 247, and the faith value has also increased to 448 points.

Within a day, his faith value continued to increase sharply, which made Lu Yao's thoughts that he had suppressed come up.

 The [Apostle] conversion in the temple requires 500 points of faith.

 At present, there is only 52 points difference.

  Staying through it for a while longer, relying on the two props [Energy Cane] and [Cactus Follower] to gain a total of 2 points of faith growth per hour, and adding some immigrants, maybe there will be something to play.

Having said that, until Lu Yao left home for work at 8:30 in the morning, his faith score was still stuck at 459 points.

 …

Lu Yao was a little absent-minded on this day.

Tomorrow is the weekend off, and all he wants to do now is run home and stare at the simulator.

 Although the [Energy Cane] can replenish energy in the middle of the night, he will not feel tired. But once you get rid of the cane, the body's muscle soreness and fatigue are still there, and the physical exertion is still real.

 The cane is more like a powerful stimulant, which can maintain personal energy for a short period of time, but does not change the limits of the human body. Sleep is still indispensable.

 In addition to figuring out the mechanism of the cane, Lu Yao also thought about the apostles of the old gods in the temple.

Is she worth such a huge investment?

At any rate, he is also a capable subordinate of the God of the Forest. Xiaohuo is very useful as a handyman guarding the temple. The apostle will not stretch his hips too much.

 The most important thing is that Lu Yao found no other way to create apostles. At present, it seems that the only way is to convert 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 restless in his chair.

Finally, after 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.

　　It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Lu Yao returned home from work.

 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 bath first to wash away the smelly sweat.

Then he walked to the window, blowing the night wind, 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 devil 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.

 —Converting it to resurrection into an Apostle of your temple requires a large amount of Faith Power. Do you need to spend 500 faith points to convert to an apostle?

【whether】

Lu Yao put the mouse on [Yes] and did not click on it in a hurry.

 He asked the cactus beside him: "Small fire, is it worth spending so much faith to revive an apostle?"

 “Apostles are the most important arms of every god. This is completely worth it, but...”

 “But what?”

“Your humble servant does not know this apostle of the forest **** in the sarcophagus, and does not know what kind of power she has.”

 “Do you know all the apostles of the Forest God?”

"Well... I remember Mr. Forest, the chief apostle. He is very powerful and can summon the spirit of the forest. I have not seen the others. They are all walking the world for the **** of the forest."

Lu Yao looked at the cactus with an unkind expression.

If you are interested, you will know one.

Xiao Huo seemed to feel the pressure and said nervously: "Lord God, I'm just saying that 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 absolutely worth it, and you also need a walking apostle.”

Lu Yao returned his gaze to the computer screen.

 It’s done!

 He clicked [Yes].

 The faith value was immediately cleared to only 1 point left.

 Pixel World pops up a reminder.

—The sleeping apostle has heard your call. The power of your faith has repaired her broken body and dried soul. She is quickly resurrecting from the sea of ​​​​mortality.

—[Apostle] Forest Sword Isabel, follow your will, execute your oracle, and fight for the fire of your faith.
