ensure quality and make 10 of them first.

Laji's sudden order for the production of round leather shields was fortunate since the structure of the shield was not complicated.

Even with a lastminute command as long as there were enough materials, Lu Shu and the others could handle it.

Of course, the process wasn't entirely smooth.

The main trouble lay in the reform of troop types within the tribe.

Currently, Lajia's troops were roughly divided into four categories.

Stone axe warriors, spear warriors, archers, and slingers.

The emergence of the round leather shield clearly impacted these four fixed troop types, with spear warriors being the most effective.

Anyone who has played strategy war games knows that in most of them, spear or polearm warriors are used to counter cavalry.

A classic example of troop countering.

When enemy cavalry charges in, spear warriors can set their formation to deliver devastating blows using the cavalry's momentum.

But now the problem arises.

In the ancient era, there were no cavalry yet.

Therefore, under the influence of this entire era and natural environment.

The initial emergence of spear warriors was not to counter cavalry, but simply to increase attack range.

However, the advantage of spear warriors in attack range gradually diminished with the appearance of slingers and archers, making their status increasingly awkward in this era.

Now, the round leather shield invented by Luagia dealt a fatal blow to spear warriors.

The reason was simple.

They couldn't equip it or it felt awkward to use.

One hand holding a round leather shield and the other a spear.

It seemed harmonious in theory, but in practice it was quite cumbersome.

Lajia personally tried out the length advantage of the spear became a major burden when needing to hold a shield with one hand.

It was simply unusable.

If he forced it, learning to use the spear for one-handed thrust would significantly weaken its lethality.

Thus, in a hunting team, the spear's role might still be considerable.

But in the current tribal army, spear warriors were facing the fate of being eliminated.

After seriously pondering this in his mind, Luaji had decisively decided that all melee warriors in the tribe except for Luo Yong and Lu Jang would be equipped with leather armor, round leather shields, and one-handed stone axes, transforming into shield axe warriors.

Two to three days later, a team of fully armed shield axe warriors stood neatly, their demeanor looking impressive and majestic.

At this moment, a brand new troop type was officially born in this ancient era.

At the same time, having received two points of military points in succession, Lagia was also decisive, finally upgrading the equipment production project that he had neglected several times.

After all, he could clearly feel that if they continued to develop, the trib's demands for equipment production efficiency would only become higher.

With the birth of Shield Axe warriors, it was time to start the counterattack against the Manar tribe.

Thinking of this, a glint of cold light flashed in Lodge's eyes.

Calculating the time, there was less than half a month left until the end of the truce.

It seemed necessary to leave a deep impression on those natives of the man bear tribe.

Chapter 103.

Demonstration.

The cold wind blew gently, carrying a hint of chill that mingled with the howling gusts of early spring.

A group of figures exuding a sense of ruthless intent boldly charged towards the manbear tribe located at the other end of the plane.

They displayed their dominance and power without reservation.

Upon encountering the attack, chaos erupted within the manbear trib's camp.

A group of similarly armed barbarians quickly emerged and formed a defensive line outside the tribal camp to resist the invasion.

Standing on a nearby high ground, observing the defensive line of the Man Bear tribe, Logic's eyes flashed with a cold light.

This time, although he had brought along a team of archers, he had no intention of using them, as he was here to demonstrate power and use the Man Bear Tribes warriors as a test to gauge the strength of his team of shield axemen.

Setting aside the two warriors stationed at the Black Rock Tribe at this moment, facing the Man Bear Tribes counterattack, Lu Jang led 15 shield axemen.

Fearless and poised, waiting for Logic's command.

Attack, Logic decisively activated the Inspire morale skill, further enhancing their combat power through morale bonuses.

In an instant, the shield axemen, receiving the command, charged forward with a fierce shout of kill.

Their figures surged towards the Man Bear Trib's defensive line with an astonishing momentum, strong enough to shock even the usually doineering man bear tribe, who felt as if they were being overwhelmed in that moment.

With no time to think further, they quickly retrieved the recently acquired weapon, the sling, behind the defensive line, the sling wielding soldiers of the man bear tribe began to whirl their slings at high speed.

At first glance, it seemed they were handling it well.

However, as soon as they launched their projectiles, the five archers behind Logic burst into laughter.

Their aim was simply too poor.

It's worth noting that these five archers had also transitioned from being sling soldiers.

And they knew just how difficult it was to master the accuracy of the sling.

Just like when they trained daily with high intensity for over half a month to gain some confidence in their aim, the Man bear tribe clearly lacked such conditions.

Nevertheless, even with poor accuracy, if they threw enough stones, they would occasionally hit something.

Facing the incoming stones, the shield axemen remained calm and composed.

Previously, Logic had implemented a series of training plans to help them skillfully use their round leather shields.

In addition to basic offense and defense drills, he had also brought in a team to simulate sling attacks, throwing stones at them while requiring the shield axemen to block the incoming projectiles with their round leather shields.

Due to the limited training time, they could not be said to be exceptionally skilled, but they had developed a sense and awareness for parrying ranged attacks.

The shield axeman quickly raised his round leather shield in front of him and with the sound of stones striking the shield.

eyes watched as the stones rebounded off the surface of a shield.

In that moment, it seemed to declare the end of an era dominated by ranged troops.

The two groups clashed fiercely.

The well-trained shield axemen moved with precision while blocking incoming attacks with their round leather shields.

They wielded their stone axes mercilessly, striking at the vulnerable necks of their opponents.

The scene of blood and flesh flying painted a picture of one-sided slaughter.

This brand new unit displayed its formidable dominance on the battlefield as if proclaiming the rise of a new generation of battlefield kings.

As Logic had always said, dealing with the Manar tribe was never about whether he could win, but whether he could swallow them whole.

It was likely that when Logic made that initial judgment, he never expected their chieftain could assemble such a powerful team of shield axemen in such a short time.

Watching his warriors fall one after another.

The leader of the Man Bear tribe, the violent bear, was filled with shock and anger.

He wanted to do something, but he was tightly entangled with a man wielding the strange weapon before him.

Unable to move freely.

Get away from me.

With a furious roar, the violent bear charged fiercely.

Truly living up to his name, resembling a human-shaped violent bear.

Faced with such ferocity, Lu Jang naturally did not dare to be careless.

Wielding his ax after a series of exchanges, he secretly marveled at the violent bear's strength.

In a one-on-one duel, they could likely fight for a 100 rounds without determining a victor.

And all Lu Jang could do now was to keep this human-shaped bear occupied.

Had the violent bear hunted black bears before? It seemed he was not undeserving of his reputation.

Logic narrowed his eyes.

In this era, there was a habit among the people to adorn themselves with their spoils to showcase their strength and intimidate other barbarians.

Thus, the violent bear dressed in black bear skin was quite eye-catching.

By the way, Logic was also wearing leather armor, but over it he had a coat made from saber-toothed tiger fur with a pair of saber-tooth daggers at his waist.

as personal defense weapons, giving him a commanding presence as a ruler.

At this moment, Logic was completely unhurried.

He acknowledged the violent bear strength, which rightfully made him the strongest dominant tribe in the original area.

Without Logic's intervention, given the violent bear strength, he could have ruled this entire region for a longer time in this savage, primitive society.

Unfortunately, he encountered Logic.

This was a war, not merely a duel determined by a single person's strength or weakness.

Apart from the exceptionally strong, violent bear, the defeat of the other members of the Manar tribe was already a foregone conclusion.

Faced with the ferocious advance of the shield axemen, they were simply unable to resist.

After three waves of assault, they were directly pushed back into their tribal camp.

Seeing his subordinates being driven back, the violent bear realized that continuing to fight Lu Jang would only result in being surrounded by the opposing shield axemen, leading to certain death.

Realizing this, the violent bear was not willing to accept such a fate.

He immediately unleashed a burst of energy after a forced exchange with Lu Jang.

Quickly retreated into the camp at the first opportunity.
