Since the birth of human civilization, battles have been inseparable from it. Day after day, year after year, human beings have emerged from barbarism through fighting and sacrifice, and civilization has progressed amidst destruction and setbacks. As long as the race is not extinct, humankind will not stop.
The pace of progress.
In the light of swords and blood, courage and self-confidence are the cornerstones of legends. In the purgatory of blood and fire, human beings can always find the right path to overcome difficulties and move towards success.
When the brutal fighting stopped, the strong man who won the victory stood proudly. Under the gaze of countless eyes, the surging crowd shouted loudly. The struggle of life and the recognition of others condensed into 'prestige' at this moment.
In front of the muddy beach of Voodoo Swamp, three corpses of sludge monsters fell. One of them was particularly large, terrifying, and ferocious in appearance. In the past, when encountering such monsters, people would just run for their lives and not dare to offer any resistance.
But at this moment, people gathered around, pointing at the corpse of the monster on the ground, and sighed. In this era, the strong enjoy the respect they deserve, and everyone looked at Zhou Qingfeng with fear, surrender, and flattery.
The strong are not criticized, the strong have power, and only by following the strong can they survive better. This is the truth that the weak grasp in their miserable life. The strong can win people's hearts, control resources, and practice their will, so they are stronger.
Regardless of whether Zhou Qingfeng is happy or not, even if he is just a "parallel import" strong man now, as long as everyone recognizes him, his status will naturally improve. Not to mention that the people in the settlement still believe that he is a noble, which is even more important.
Leadership halo identity.
The old dwarf was almost dead from exhaustion, but the result of the battle also made him extremely happy. He called a few people, got a stretcher, and carried the injured Todd to the witch doctor's shack. The latter was poisoned and comatose, and must be treated as soon as possible.
Others gathered around Zhou Qingfeng, admiring and fearing him. Some people boldly stepped forward and asked, "Dear Sir, do you need us to do anything?"
The tense fight had just ended. Zhou Qingfeng's bones and muscles were soft and he felt powerless after the incident. He could not move while standing there. After being surrounded by a group of people, he was still a little scared. He didn't know what these people wanted to do.
When the respectful greetings rang out, Zhou Qingfeng just breathed a sigh of relief. The 'Shadow' was mocking him because he was lucky enough to survive. But he couldn't tell where he got the courage just now? He actually dared to jump behind the leader of the sludge monster.
Go back and fight.
"How many people are willing to accept my order?" Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath and shouted loudly. He didn't know what he wanted to do, but he always felt that his morale was available, so it would be wrong not to take the opportunity to gather people in the settlement.
The people gathered around took a step forward, raised their hands noisily, and responded loudly to Zhou Qingfeng's call. The exact number of people was difficult to count, but there were at least hundreds of them.
Although they are just a bunch of people who lack food and clothing and have bad character. But Zhou Qingfeng is full of energy after a big battle. He believes that as long as he is well organized, even "a piece of loose sand" can be used by him - even skeletons will be used.
He uses it to cultivate the land, let alone people?
Anyway, these people are inherently lowly and despised like snakes and rats. With Zhou Qingfeng as the leader, they will definitely live a better life than they would on their own. This is the biggest reason why people in the settlement are willing to attach themselves.
With popularity and fame, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
"Come ten people and move the remaining corpses of the sludge monsters to old Borg's shack. Ask him if this thing is useful?"
"Another thirty people will form a patrol team. Those who need to bring their own weapons will be divided into three groups. I will choose a small leader for you and light bonfires inside and outside the settlement. Especially facing the swamp, patrol day and night to prevent monsters and
Enemy invasion."
"The patrols come to me to get paralysis poison and apply it on the arrow blade of the weapon. My poison is stronger than what you used in the past. In the future, you will make the monsters run away when they see you."
"Who in the settlement has food in stock? I am willing to buy it at a high price. If there are ten more people to prepare food, those who work with me will never go hungry."
Voodoo Swamp has been invaded by swamp monsters and has suffered heavy casualties all year round. It is long overdue that we should unite to defend ourselves. However, the entire settlement lacks a core figure. Everyone is selfish and no one is willing to pay for others. The result is that everyone is unlucky.
Now it was Zhou Qingfeng who came forward to get rid of the sludge monster, gather people's support, and finally organized a sparse team. The people in the settlement had some hope and motivation, and felt happy and cohesiveness emerged spontaneously.
The body of the leader of the sludge monster was lifted up and dragged to the dwarf witch doctor's shack. This monster looked scary, and no one would dare to provoke it on weekdays. Today's attack should have caused a bloody storm in the settlement, but unexpectedly it did.
Lost his life.
The person carrying the corpse was smiling broadly, with wind under his feet. This kind of monster leader has a sense of territory, and there is often only one in one place. As long as it is around, other scary monsters will generally not come close to the Voodoo Swamp.
Similarly, after getting rid of the sludge monster leader, the escaped sludge monster will not dare to stay in the Voodoo Swamp. At least for half a year, the security of the settlement will be greatly improved.
Although the leader of the sludge monster stinks all over, and its meat also has a strong smell of rotting corpses, it is inedible. But this kind of monster is usually full of treasures, and there are too many places that can be used.
Zhou Qingfeng hunted this monster, which meant that he naturally had a lot of wealth. Those who worked for him were not worried that this 'noble young master' could not pay, but were only upset that they could not do more work for him.
In exchange for more food and rewards.
The Voodoo Swamp is so lively for the first time since its establishment.
People who had been running away just now came back one after another, marveling at the monster's corpse. They encountered such a powerful monster, and it was an amazing miracle that no one died in the settlement. It was worth being happy about.
As for Mr. Victor Hugo who killed monsters and protected the settlement, he was even more favored by everyone. When Zhou Qingfeng returned to the settlement, everyone who saw him along the way respectfully stepped aside and bent down.
Lower your head and say hello to him.
Some of them were so excited that they even knelt down to thank Sir Hugo for avenging their devoured relatives.
Zhou Qingfeng stunk all over during the fight. He pulled out his stiletto sword, called someone casually and asked, "How do you take a bath in the settlement on weekdays?"
Take a bath? The people in the settlement shook their heads. They didn't take a bath.
"What do you do with water on daily basis?"
"Sir, we have a well." Someone replied.
"Go and boil some hot water for me, I want to take a bath." Zhou Qingfeng is no better than the residents of this poor settlement. He hopes that he can be clean whenever he has a chance.
"But sir, we don't have a pot to boil water. We can only use a wooden bucket to take a bath on weekdays."
"Who has the pot?"
"Old Borg has it. He often boils medicine in a big pot."
"Ask Lao Borg to borrow it. If you need anything, ask him to borrow it. I will pay the fee to Lao Borg." Zhou Qingfeng solved the problem with one sentence, "By the way, boil more hot water and let the settlement people
Everyone comes to take a bath, everyone is happy today!"
The weather is a bit cold today, and it would be a great pleasure to have a hot shower. But for such a simple need, even the poor Voodoo Swamp cannot popularize it.
After Zhou Qingfeng announced that everyone could take a bath, there was a burst of joy in the settlement. This was more exciting than seeing scary monsters being hunted, and it greatly boosted people's morale.
A true leader can always make his subordinates feel happy, and happiness starts from every little thing. From this moment on, Zhou Qingfeng ascended to the position of leader, and no one doubted it.
