268: Chapter 268 I'll Defend My Territory

Lin Heng spoke calmly.

This...

As soon as these words came out, everyone exchanged glances.

To be honest...

The thing they worried about most before was that those people would disregard martial ethics and rush in directly to wipe them out.

However, at this point, the informants at the front line still hadn't sent back any news, which was enough to explain the situation.

Those people didn't have any intention of touching them at all...

If they merely had the thought, their subordinates would probably be frantically sending them messages right now, right?

If that's the case, what else can it prove?

Isn't that obvious?

Those people have no intention of attacking them!

"However... even though that's the case, we still need to take precautions, right?"

"After all, the people from Pretty Country love to settle scores later. Once they clean up the people from North Africa, they will probably quickly turn their attention to us."

"I'm afraid that by then, it won't be a problem that a large oil field can solve."

Soon, one of the great generals in the meeting room licked his dry lips and said with a frown.

As soon as these words came out, everyone became even more worried.

Tsk!

It's still a hassle!

"Exactly, exactly... If it weren't for this large oil field, we wouldn't have this kind of problem..."

"And we wouldn't be targeted by those people from Pretty Country!"

At this time, the people in the meeting room all started to complain.

And when it came down to it, the root cause of everything was that large oil field.

Speaking of which, they uniformly blamed Lin Heng for it.

Chieftain Sam, however, looked rather displeased.

Good heavens...

How dare they speak about Lin Heng like that?

"All of you, say less. Look clearly, this is our Strategist! If it weren't for Mr. Lin, we wouldn't have been able to reach this stage!"

"Watch your words, or I won't mind replacing one or two of you here!"

He snorted coldly and spoke in a stern tone.

The others quickly shut up and stopped talking immediately.

However, they were not entirely convinced in their hearts...

After all, all these headache-inducing problems were caused by Lin Heng, even if he had made so many contributions to the tribe before...

Seeing this, Chieftain Sam looked at Lin Heng with a fawning smile.

"Strategist, please don't take it to heart. We are all used to being outspoken. If we have offended you, please bear with us..."

"But what they said isn't entirely unreasonable. How should we deal with the current alliance between Pretty Country and the North African chiefs?"

They thought Lin Heng would be troubled...

However, at this moment, Lin Heng's gaze was calm.

He just waved his hand lightly.

"Trust me, the people from Pretty Country absolutely cannot attack in the short term. If they were truly united, there would probably be no South Africa left by now."

"What South Africa should do now is proceed as planned..."

"We should do what we were doing before."

Ah!?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Good heavens...

Do nothing at all?

Is that real or fake!?

Their eyes clearly showed some shock.

Although the Strategist always gave them plenty of ideas, which were frighteningly stable...

This time, however, they couldn't help but feel that Lin Heng must have lost his mind...

Can this be the same!?

"Chieftain Sam... I don't think this is appropriate!"

Someone quickly stood up to object.

"With a great enemy at the door, we should mobilize the southern soldiers here... As long as we let those people from North Africa know the might of our South Africa, they naturally won't covet our territory anymore!"

"No, no... I think it's better to just return the large oil field to Pretty Country. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, it will be an astronomical figure. Although South Africa is vast and rich, there isn't much we can truly use to wear down the opponent."

"Moreover, General Max has the support of Pretty Country behind him. With the balance shifting, we will probably find it hard to act."

"..."

The scene was filled with dissenting voices.

Some even suggested that they should directly abandon this place and return everything...

Chieftain Sam's expression was a bit grim.

To be honest, he had the same thought, but he couldn't completely disregard Mr. Lin's face... He became conflicted for a moment.

And at this time...

Just as everyone was arguing endlessly, Lin Heng suddenly waved his hand.

"This matter is simple!"

"You're just worried that I can't hold off the combined forces of Pretty Country and the North African chiefs, right?"

"I already have a solution."

Hm!?

Everyone was greatly surprised to hear this.

Good heavens...

"We'd be happy to hear the details!"

Chieftain Sam's face immediately lit up. He licked his dry lips and quickly asked.

The rest were also full of curiosity.

What kind of solution could there be to make them send the combined army of Pretty Country and the North African chiefs back?

Not a single person present wasn't curious!

And at this time, Lin Heng quickly spoke.

"This matter is simple!"

"Since you already want to give up this piece of land, you might as well just hand it over to me. Divide some people and hand them to me to manage. Even if we are defeated, the problem can be resolved with minimal loss."

"Of course, if any problems arise, I will naturally be responsible."

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

Heh heh...

It's just letting him govern this area himself...

If he can't defend it, he'll just hand it over to others.

That's no different from giving it away from the start.

They could at least maintain a good impression.

But Lin Heng doing this... was clearly going too far.

However, they didn't have any other good solutions at the moment, so they could only agree.

"Chieftain Sam, what do you think of this matter?"

They all looked towards Chieftain Sam in unison.

He was the only one here who could make the decision.

Regarding this, Chieftain Sam gave a wry smile.

He quickly shook his head and then said: "Since it's like this, let's listen to the Strategist... I see the Strategist seems to have his own confidence."

"I am also relieved to hand this place over to you."

The remaining elders frowned one after another upon hearing this.

How could this guy be siding with an outsider?

One of them naturally couldn't agree so easily.

He immediately snorted and continued: "Strategist... Your proposal is not bad, but we still feel there is a certain risk... To reduce this risk, we have a decision, I wonder if you can accept it?"

"Say it..." Lin Heng opened his mouth.

"That is, the territory can be given to you, but you cannot have many soldiers..."
