275: Chapter 275 Plans to Invade North Africa

Gulp.

This wasn't the sound of anyone swallowing saliva, but rather the sound of everyone present subconsciously swallowing.

Not a single one of them wasn't terrified in their hearts by Lin Heng's actions...

Soon... the space immediately fell silent.

Even the elder from before looked utterly frightened. None of them dared to say another word.

"I want these five hundred people. If you disagree, you can fight me for them!"

"As for being a strategist for your Sam Tribe... as long as you agree, I will remain your strategist. If you refuse, then I will simply live peacefully as a freeman on this land."

Lin Heng's tone was very calm.

However, the sheer audacity radiating from his words was unmatched by anyone present!

Soon, the numerous elders exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

But Chieftain Sam already had his answer in his heart.

"Good!"

"Strategist, you have made countless contributions to our Sam Tribe. Even giving you this piece of land would be nothing to complain about."

"But you are still our Strategist... this point will absolutely not change! Without you, there would be no Sam Tribe today!"

"Regarding the Strategist's proposal, do you all have any other opinions?"

"If not, shall we approve it?"

After saying this, Chieftain Sam turned his head and looked at the others with a gaze that wasn't exactly friendly.

These people also knew that they had to give Lin Heng some face openly. If things truly went south, it was likely the Sam Tribe wouldn't have an easy time either.

Previously, the Council of Elders had already conducted some secretive discussions. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better, and the less internal strife there should be!

They didn't put much thought into Lin Heng anymore.

Anyway, they had achieved their goal: temporarily separating Lin Heng from their tribe would not affect the upcoming plan.

As long as their plan succeeded, they could deal with Lin Heng's matter slowly then...

The crowd exchanged glances and quickly confirmed their mutual understanding.

After Chieftain Sam provided them a way out, the elders had nothing more to say, so they raised their hands one by one, acknowledging Lin Heng's arrangement.

In response, Lin Heng merely waved his hand lightly and said:

"Since the matter of this land is settled, then you all probably don't need to stay here anymore."

"If you have urgent matters, you can leave now. I won't see you out..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the elders who were preparing to rise darkened instantly.

This guy... he was too arrogant!

If it weren't for the grand unification they needed to accomplish next, they would surely make this arrogant fellow pay the price!

However, they all snorted coldly in their hearts.

The monk can run, but the temple cannot.

As long as this piece of land remained on their Africa Grasslands, they were the masters of this land.

How could it be Lin Heng's turn, an outsider, to dictate things?

"Hmph! Strategist... we shall meet again!"

They all snorted coldly and immediately turned to leave.

In the end, only Chieftain Sam remained.

He cast an apologetic look toward Lin Heng.

"I apologize, Strategist... these fellows just have that temper; please forgive them."

After that... this man also wanted to quickly escape the place.

After all, they had all offended Lin Heng before, and things couldn't possibly be as easygoing as before.

But Lin Heng quickly grabbed the other man's shoulder.

"Strategist?"

Chieftain Sam was about to leave when he realized Lin Heng had grabbed him the next second.

This man's strength... naturally needed no further explanation!

His heart trembled, and then he quickly forced a stiff smile onto his face, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

Lin Heng's expression was calm.

He didn't feel much towards those old guys from before.

Let alone being angry.

At worst, he would just take action himself and help clean up those fellows. After all, this was on his territory.

The reason those people were able to leave unharmed was more than half because Lin Heng hadn't intended to keep them there.

That was all...

At this moment, Lin Heng was only concerned with one thing.

He raised an eyebrow and quickly spoke.

"Are you preparing to make a move against the people of North Africa?"

Huh!?

Chieftain Sam's expression changed rapidly upon hearing this.

He subconsciously licked his dry lips, then spoke with some difficulty.

"Strategist... how did you know about this matter?"

Heh heh...

Did this even require knowing?

Lin Heng already had an answer after hearing that response.

He quickly smiled.

"The people of North Africa have suffered significant losses here, and they are currently in a state of panic. This is a good opportunity for you to consolidate your forces northward. A little thought reveals it."

"Not to mention those old foxes just now... their intentions were written all over their faces. Do you think I wouldn't know?"

Indeed!

Lin Heng knew about this from the very beginning!

Chieftain Sam gave a wry smile internally.

Indeed, nothing could be hidden from this man.

He didn't deny it and quickly nodded.

"Just as the Strategist said, North Africa is in chaos right now. A lightning strike at this time would be enough to take them all down!"

Chieftain Sam licked his dry lips, and a glint flashed in his eyes!

Regarding the idea of the elders wanting to dismiss Lin Heng from his position as strategist, Chieftain Sam had initially refused, but later on...

In order to decisively conquer the North, Chieftain Sam had no choice but to agree to their demands.

It was something he couldn't avoid.

He shouldn't have allowed those old guys to divide up the military power in the first place... but back then, Chieftain Sam was just a minor figure in the tribe...

Without the support of those old foxes, he naturally couldn't have risen step by step to become Chieftain, nor reached this point.

For this reason, he could only sacrifice Lin Heng slightly.

And at this moment...

Lin Heng suddenly spoke.

"My suggestion to you is... it's best not to make a move at this time, or rather, not to make a move at all from the beginning!"

"As for the people of North Africa, we can completely subdue them without bloodshed!"

Huh!?

As soon as these words came out, Chieftain Sam's eyes widened. Looking up, he naturally saw Lin Heng's calm and composed demeanor!
