Chapter 97 Art Of War!

Females, a gender long thought to be the weaker gender by primitives alike, however unlike this time, under Alvin's various inspections and discoveries, the tribe he found could be said to be quite the opposite

With a population of almost a hundred people, a matriarchal society had been firmly established.

In their tribe, different from other humans, that he and Elric had encountered, the women in this tribe had some features that clearly stood out

At having an average height of one and a half metres tall and some even reaching two metres, the first time Alvin saw them, he couldn't help but doubt if they were humans, but rather a tribe of mini giants, unfortunately there was no one to answer his doubts.

So while still unsure of their race, Alvin decided to temporarily name them as humans until their race could be confirmed.

However, their height wasn't the only thing that made Alvin doubt their human identity, the other thing was their strength!

While maintaining a far distance to observe their tribe, Alvin discovered that almost every female seemed to be gifted with some sort of inborn divine strength, as each of them performed some unbelievable feats before his eyes

Thinking back to how they easily crushed giant rocks bigger than their bodies with a fist, or some of them could tear down trees by giving them a few chops, Alvin who hid not too far from them personally witnessed their strength

Thankfully, although each was super strong, they were not without their weakness, it was due to these weaknesses that Alvin proposed to attack them first.

During the course of his exploration, Alvin noticed that each of them became uncharacteristically weak at night, so much so that he even doubt their earlier strength was fake, but seeing them regain their strength as soon as the sun became visible, Alvin suddenly realised he seemed to have grasped a key to victory

As long as he attacked them in their weakened state, their chances of winning would exponentially increase, resulting in fewer casualties and more efficiency

Already seeing himself completing the task successfully, Alvin could already imagine himself reporting to Elric, and telling him they were zero casualties

*Haha with this, the young master would see that I'm responsible, and maybe this can help make up for this whole Ristarte even later*

Thinking about how he caused Elric's current accident state, Alvin decided to put in extra effort in order to redeem himself

Clenching slightly, Alvin gathered the crowd as they began to discuss attack methods f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

Soon time passed, and contrary to Alvin's expectation, the discussion was pointless and uneventful, but after thinking about it, Alvin knew why

Obviously, these people are a group of people who lived without knowledge of the outside world and couldn't even communicate clearly a few days ago.

Now suddenly expecting them to be masters of the art of war? It was like asking a whale to fly through the sky

Sighing slightly, Alvin knew this conversation wasn't going anywhere, thankfully before he left, Elric had already told him a bit about the art of war. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

Recalling Elric's words to him before he left, Alvin couldn't help but sigh as he admired Elric's wisdom

"Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak."

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting"

'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle"

"Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."

These were all things that Elric told him to remember before he went to war, and now looking back to these sentences, Alvin admired their profoundness.

Although he couldn't decipher everything he meant, Alvin could still read a few of their meanings, and that alone was enough to give him confidence in this and his future battles

"However, I wonder where the young master got this knowledge?"

Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a few seconds, Alvin shook his head slightly, obviously there was no gain.

"Forget it then, it doesn't matter even if I don't know, as long as I fully understand what he means and become a master in the art of war, there's no way he won't tell me!"

Clenching his fists, Alvin suddenly had another goal that he had to work hard in order to achieve.

Thankfully, Alvin didn't see this new goal as stress, rather, his flame of motivation seemed to burn brighter than ever.

*Haha, I suddenly can't wait to start this war!"

Looking at the sun still high in the sky, Alvin had no choice but to calm himself knowing it was not time to act

Taking a deep breath, Alvin focused on what was at his front as he tried to press down his impatience.

At this time, most of the crowd after being led by Lilith had already resigned their fates to them fighting the war

? And hearing they were going to be fighting a tribe headed by women, their expressions turned happy, unfinished Alvin's next words dampened their moods

Two metres tall!

Possessing can crush rocks with bear hands!

Gain strength under the sun!

Any of these features were completely contrary to what they had in mind, compared to the easy takeover they were expecting

But listening to Alvin's words, they knew they had no choice, so after giving a resigned sigh in their minds, All of them. Waited for Alvin's next words, ready to take in more bad news, thankfully it was quite the opposite.

After seeing their changed moods, Alvin decided not to talk more about it, but rather focus on learning the art of war, so thinking of this, Alvin without any hesitation promptly dismissed them

"Alright everyone, let's get some rest and prepare our supplies"

"We leave by nightfall!"

Saying this, Alvin left the podium and went looking for a quiet place to study the art of war.
