Chapter 409 First Time
The Green-Eyed People are indeed less cunning than the Kingdom's people, and they lack advanced technology and management systems.
However, Tuscarola believes that they are absolutely the people closest to nature in the world.
They coexist with the forest and fight against wild beasts and poisonous insects.
They are born with keen intuition and a strong physique.
Nine out of ten men among the green-eyed people are hunters.
They were both skilled with bows and spears.
It's just that there's no iron in the New World, otherwise they would certainly be able to use iron swords and scimitars well.
Look, even though her compatriots have not been involved in military training for very long, they have already acquired some combat capabilities.
They wielded the weapons of those who had enslaved them and fought against their bloodthirsty slave owners.
This is a battle for freedom, Tuscarola thought, the right to freedom should never be given up lightly!
Of course, the Kingdom's soldiers have undergone professional training, and their skill in wielding iron weapons is far superior to that of the Green-Eyed People.
However, their numbers were far too small.
They only managed to kill a few green-eyed people before being successively slaughtered by the green-eyed people who had the numerical advantage.
Assuming Tuscarola also joined the attack, absolutely no one would have died.
But she did not choose to do so.
Using her fellow countrymen to coerce her into her position is far too subtle, as if the other party had calculated that Tuscarola's methods couldn't reach there.
This is true.
Doesn't this mean that the other party is trying to lure Tuscarola to the rescue?
If Tuscarola continued to think along these lines, he couldn't help but suspect that the other side might have set up an ambush.
Moreover, the fact that there were so few soldiers made it seem like they were trying to lull Tuscalola into a false sense of security.
If it were the old Tuscarola, I might have been fooled.
But Lola is dead, and the current Tuscarola is no longer naive.
Although she still longed to live a lazy and carefree life.
In short, Tuscarola will not put himself in danger.
She was selfish; she cared more about her own life.
But she didn't think she was wrong. In fact, if it came to the point where she had to sacrifice everyone else to save herself, she would do it without hesitation.
Even my past self would have made the same choice.
She was indeed naive in the past, but not stupid.
This battle went much more smoothly than Tuscarola had imagined.
The army rescued the slaves who had chosen to rebel, killed all the kingdom's soldiers, and led everyone back to the warehouse.
Tuscarola was very pleased to see this.
This was the first time her compatriots had achieved victory without relying on her own abilities.
There was only one thing that surprised Tuscarola: the other side hadn't actually set up any ambush.
Tuscarola felt that the other party was a bit careless this time, as if they were certain that she would soften her heart and agree to their demands in order to save her compatriots.
Or perhaps, they actually set up an ambush, but simply didn't launch an attack rashly.
As for the reason for not launching an attack, it is most likely that Tuscarola did not take action.
If that were true, it would send chills down Tuscarola's spine.
Doesn't this mean that the other party has truly found out that she is the only one in the entire warehouse who can fight?
At the same time, the other party can accurately identify her identity!
Indeed, casting the Radiant Realm requires constructing a magic circle, and enemies can indeed pinpoint Tuscarola's location by observing the magic circle.
However, Tuscarola was particularly careful not to leave any obvious traces, lest the other party lock onto him.
The magic circle she constructs will almost certainly destroy itself within a second.
Although Tuscarola had her doubts, doubts were just doubts, and she would never know the truth behind them.
I only reminded her of one thing: being cautious is absolutely the right thing to do, and she must be cautious as soon as possible afterward.
"Boss, everyone's back," Gillian reported to Tuscarola.
"Close the gates tightly, stay alert, and notify me immediately of any enemy movements," Tuscalola ordered.
Gillian nodded: "Okay, I'll go and give the order."
"In addition," Tuscarola added, "ask those compatriots who were just rescued about the situation. They should have some information. Whatever they tell you, collect it all, and report back to me after you have compiled it."
"Yes, boss," Gillian nodded.
"Also, send out a small contingent, preferably composed of former hunters from the tribe, to patrol near the warehouse."
Look for any enemy traps or arrows.
"I understand," Gillian replied.
Tuscarola looked at her, puzzled. "Then go and do something! What are you standing there for?"
"I was wondering if you have anything else to add," Gillian said, scratching her head.
Tuscarola pursed his lips: "That's all, go ahead."
"Yes, but boss, I feel like you've changed," Gillian said tentatively. "You've become more—how should I put it, you could say 'proactive'."
"I also want to be passive," Tuscarola complained inwardly, "but you guys are really unreliable."
Tuscalola just wants to lie down!
In the library, she only needed to follow Anne and occasionally listen to Aaron's arrangements.
Later, Anne said she wanted to be her personal herald, and all she had to do was follow Anne's advice.
On the frozen continent, they do whatever Loloti says.
Ah, thinking about it this way, all the happy times are gone!
I'm so tired. I just want to space out.
However, she feels she is getting closer and closer to the state she wants.
She witnessed her compatriots' spontaneous resistance and saw the warehouse troops achieve victory without her help.
Although these people know very little about the Kingdom's people, Gillian is a strong learner and she will surely learn everything quickly.
At that point, Tuscarola will be able to completely extricate himself from this incident and let these people fight for their own destiny.
Tuscarola returned to her room.
All her orders were issued and carried out well by her fellow citizens.
The newly rescued compatriots did indeed bring back a message.
The enemy's new leader is a mysterious man dressed in strange clothes and wearing a mask.
They knew nothing about the enemy's battle plans.
The patrolling comrades also brought back intelligence, confirming that there were indeed many enemy spies around the warehouse.
They evacuated immediately after discovering they had been exposed.
This proves Tuscalola's conjecture that the cunning and mysterious commander had been monitoring the warehouse's every move.
Tuscarola became even more aware of the importance of intelligence, and she ordered increased surveillance around the warehouse and sent additional personnel to further expand the surveillance area.
However, this requires a high level of ability from the executors, so Tuscarola decided to personally conduct the selection tomorrow.
After such a long day, Tuscarola felt exhausted.
After finishing dinner, all she wanted to do was lie down in bed and sleep.
Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tuscarola, accustomed to the cold of the permafrost continent, still felt hot.
But Aaron said that no matter how hot it is, you have to cover your belly button, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.
She and Anne had long since developed this habit.
Tuscalola pulled up a corner of the blanket, gently covering her stomach, and gradually fell asleep.
She had a dream.
She dreamt of bright sunshine that, due to some mistake, came the night.
It illuminated the sky with a cruel red.
People fled in panic, shouting in fear.
All sorts of sounds mingled together, creating utter chaos.
But there are two voices, the most obvious of which.
A knocking sound on the door, and—
"Boss! Boss!"
Tuscarola suddenly woke up.
She was not fully conscious and could only observe.
The thick curtains could not conceal the lingering firelight, which shone on Tuscarola's green pupils, turning them into Anne's pomegranate red.
The urgent knocking and shouting were a reminder to Tuscarola that something serious had happened—
And it's extremely bad.
At that moment, someone broke down the door.
It was a man.
Gillian followed closely behind, calling out, "Boss!"
Tuscarola frowned. "What's wrong?"
"The enemy has broken in!" Gillian exclaimed in terror.
Tuscarola couldn't believe Gillian's words, but the light and shadows projected through the doorway reminded him that it was indeed true.
She asked, "How could that be! Didn't I tell you to be vigilant? And to notify me immediately of everything!"
Gillian moved her throat:
"This is the first-hand response!"
