2: Chapter 2: War Begins!

Fighting right from the start?

That's for sure!

Standing on the Floating Island, Xu Xuan could already see several primitive tribes of Japanese Lords in the surrounding area.

In this relatively backward Stone Age, the means of obtaining food were quite limited.

Men were responsible for hunting wild animals, while women were responsible for gathering wild fruits in the vicinity.

Farming? For now, humans in the early Stone Age had not yet mastered this ability.

There was no agricultural technology at all in the primitive era. Farming was extremely inefficient, not nearly as fast as hunting.

Things modern humans take for granted must be achieved by climbing the technology tree, step by step!

Looking back ahead, the reason Xu Xuan ordered preparations for battle was simple.

As a lord of the Great Xia faction, he had been air-dropped by the system into an area filled with Japanese Lords. His territory was surrounded from birth, with Japanese people all around him.

Aside from a few small hills, the surrounding terrain was almost entirely flat.

Lush grass and rivers provided an ample supply of water.

It could be said that his Floating Island Tribe stood out like a crane among chickens in this area; others could see Xu Xuan's Floating Island from far away.

Moreover, a group of lords had appeared in the chat channel before him.

[Nearby Chat Channel (Automatic Language Translation)]

[Tada Arisu: Minna-san, konnichiwa! I am of the Tada Clan. Please treat me well.]

[Oda Daisuke: Hello, Tada-san. Although Earth has undergone such a change and everyone is unaccustomed to it at first, we will all be neighbors from now on and should assist each other in developing our territories.]

[Ashikaga Hide: Yoshi! Let's form a mutual aid group to develop our territories quickly. In the future, we will kick the Koreans, trample the American brutes, and punch the Xia nation—it's just a matter of time!]

[Tokugawa Ieyasu: Excuse me, everyone, have you noticed the island floating in mid-air? What is that?]

[Oda Daisuke: I'm curious too. Could it be some kind of wonder? I've already sent out some Tribal Warriors to investigate.]

This group was discussing Xu Xuan's island in the chat channel. It was far too obvious and conspicuous; it was impossible for them not to see it.

Clearly, even before Xu Xuan had made a move, these Japanese Lords had already set their sights on him.

Under these circumstances, Xu Xuan had to strike first! Before the surrounding lords could develop, he would use his altitude advantage in the early stages to destroy their villages!

By this time, Xu Xuan had called out all 100 people in the tribe. He spoke, "Prepare stones!"

[You have initiated a war mobilization. All members of the tribe will be transformed into Tribal Warriors! Every citizen is now a soldier!]

Since it was just the beginning, the men and women in the tribe were all young people; there were neither children nor elderly!

Everyone brought over the stones on the island, smashing them into fragments.

Wars between primitive tribes involved clubs and stones. Bows and arrows hadn't been invented yet; it was the very beginning of a destitute civilization.

Having mobilized all tribal members on the island, Xu Xuan prepared to move the island toward the nearest Japanese Lord to strike first!

Since it was a Floating Island, it could naturally be moved anywhere.

He tapped the screen in the air and quickly found the function to control the Floating Island's movement.

[Floating Island Movement.]

Control options appeared before Xu Xuan.

[Forward] [Backward] [Left] [Right].

Facing the direction he was standing, Xu Xuan looked toward the territory of the nearest Japanese Lord and pressed forward.

In the next moment, the ground beneath him suddenly vibrated. Xu Xuan's body swayed, and the female savage beside him immediately supported him.

This female savage had naturally curly, wavy long hair, wheat-colored skin, and was strong and sturdy. Her figure was very hot, possessing a primitive beauty!

After all, this was a Lord's War; these primitives seemed as if they had been created out of thin air by a deity, maintaining a very healthy state.

Xu Xuan remembered that this female savage had been by his side since he first arrived. It seemed she was likely an auxiliary-type character.

"What is your name?"

"Chief, what is a name? I don't understand! Everyone in the tribe calls me Hu Zi!"

This female savage was robustly built; in the words of the older generation, she had wide hips, perfect for childbearing.

With slightly curly long hair, she grinned to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, her smile carrying a sense of fierceness and simplicity.

Xu Xuan understood that if she were a real female savage from a prehistoric civilization, a single kiss would probably knock him out with her stench.

A pure savage was truly impossible to stomach. He would rather "Press F to enter a modern tank" than choose a primitive savage.

Under normal circumstances, people in primitive societies would be stinking all over, with yellow teeth and withered hair.

However, the subjects in these tribal territories were created by the system—brand new humans endowed with flesh and blood, still in a pristine, "factory-fresh" state.

To him, this female savage even smelled fragrant.

The female savage called herself Hu Zi because primitive tribes worshiped beasts and believed in animism.

A female savage who earned the name Hu Zi was bound to have fierce combat strength.

[Ding! You have noticed the first Female General of your tribe.]

[Primitive Female Savage — Hu Zi.]

[Age: 18 years old.]

[Lifespan: 20 years.]

Furthermore, the lifespan of primitive people was very short; many did not even live to adulthood.

Such a beautiful female savage would soon age and die, which made Xu Xuan feel a bit regretful.

What a pity. This cute and beautiful savage girl, Hu Zi Mei, would be gone after staying with him for at most 20 years.

However, Xu Xuan steadied his emotions. Having read many novels, he knew that lords must be cold and ruthless, unable to invest too much emotion in their subordinates.

At the thought that Hu Zi Mei would grow old in 20 years, Xu Xuan's attitude toward her turned a bit colder.

After all, he had raised a hamster when he was a child, and a hamster could only live for two to three years.

The feeling when a hamster you've bonded with suddenly passes away one day is not pleasant.

Looking at the carefree Hu Zi Mei, Xu Xuan said with a stern face, "Be serious. Prepare for battle!"

"You got it, Chief!"

As she spoke, Hu Zi Mei grinned and winked at Xu Xuan, radiating her primitive charm at every moment.

At this time, the Floating Island was moving slowly at a snail's pace of 20 kilometers per hour.

However, that Japanese Lord's territory was less than 10 kilometers away from Xu Xuan's starting point.

In just over ten minutes, the hundred-meter-diameter Floating Island had gradually approached.

At this moment, Tada Arisu, within his territory, was still watching with a face full of curiosity.

"How amazing! Is that some kind of outdoor wonder? It's actually coming toward me. Could I be about to encounter some fortuitous event like in an anime?"

As Tada Arisu was excitedly observing the island, a piece of information popped up before his eyes.
