My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Chapter 92: Seek For An Alliance, Expel The Wolves By Steering The Tigers

“Good gracious. Kento Maeda, this bastard, developed this kind of weapon for the kobolds. It’s no wonder the opponent can’t get in.”

Sweeping his vision across the ground, Su Mo saw a lot of broken boulder fragments. Besides the fragments, the ground had also been stained blood red, looking extremely terrifying.

The catapults were huge.

Beside them, there were dozens of human beings hurriedly conducting maintenance nearby. Some were carrying some big stones and placing them aside.

In the center of the camp, he could vaguely make out the figures of Kento Maeda and the kobolds, and…

Several treasure chests had been opened, but had yet to disappear!

“No wonder this scoundrel developed so quickly. It turns out that this wage earner sought refuge from the kobolds by helping them to deal with an unspecified species. Perhaps there is no reward when a kobold kills an enemy, but if a human kills one, there would definitely be treasure chest rewards.”

“The bug in the system was caught by this person! No, the kobolds gain from this as well and their strength will become even stronger!”

“Damn the scumbag!”

Lying on the hillside, Su Mo licked his flakings lips, a murderous intent growing inside his heart.

The better Maeda’s development was, the worse it was going to be for his neighbors.

“I really can’t prolong this anymore. If this guy gets lucky with a treasure chest and finds a gun, my only long-range advantage will be gone. By the time that comes, I’ll have no choice but to submit to them!”

Su Mo stood up and slid down the hillside.

The distance was still too far, and Su Mo did not know the layout of the camp very well. Unless he could capture those catapults and launch all the explosive packs in, it would be an idiotic dream to attack directly.

However, Su Mo did not lose confidence.

Since the two sides were at war, there was no need for him to take personal risks. Perhaps to reverse the war, all he had to do was…

Just pour oil onto the fire!

Su Mo’s gaze grew sharper and his mind quickly turned.

He continued to drive along the crummy road slowly, at the speed of 20 yards per second. He kept on driving for 20 to 30 kilometers.

Su Mo stopped along the sides around the hillside, got out of the buggy from time to time, and moved according to the traces on the ground.

“Oreo, do you sense them yet?” He held out a fistful of golden hair to Oreo’s nose.

After sniffing it, Oreo barked twice and barked toward the front-right direction.

“This direction…”

The currently unknown species of creatures were located to the south of the saltpeter mining camp. The kobold castle was in the north, and this middle camp was coincidentally a buffer point for both sides.

Reaching the plains, the buggy traveled at high speed. After about twenty or thirty minutes, at the end of his line of sight, the nest of these unknown species of creatures appeared.

Su Mo parked the buggy in a recessed terrain and hid it carefully, before quickly ascending to higher ground to observe the surroundings with the binoculars.

Not far from him, about two kilometers away, the sparsely-grouped monsters sat on the ground, seemingly demoralized because of the defeat.

Su Mo took out the binoculars and saw them clearly this time.

“It turns out to be the lion people…”

In the camp, smoke from the cooking rose wafted the houses and hung inconspicuously in the distant sky.

On the whole, the lion people’s clan was more like a small, well-organized village.

Compared to the castle of the kobolds that looked like the nouveau riche, the lion people looked a lot poorer.

The wooden houses were neatly scattered across the wasteland. At the edge of the wooden houses there were huge logs neatly stacked in place.

There were a large number of these giant logs, each with a diameter of more than eighty centimeters, that were placed in three directions surrounding the village, leaving only the front accessible for people to pass through.

“One, two… thirty…”

Su Mo tried to estimate the number of lion people in the village.

Their numbers seemed to be far inferior to that of the kobolds. In such a large camp, if you roughly counted them, there were not more than a thousand of them.

Especially in the center of the clan, where there was a large group of wounded soldiers seated at this time.

Including the wounded soldiers and the intact warriors, plus the other lion people from the clans, it was doubtful that there were even five hundred warriors in fighting shape.

On the contrary, the kobolds had around one or two thousand of them in the castle. The difference in the levels of strength on both sides was obvious.

“Are the lion people crazy? They are overestimating their abilities. Are they planning to attack other people’s castles with just the flesh and bones on their bodies?”

After scanning through the lion people’s slack defense, Su Mo clicked his tongue, not knowing how to evaluate the lion people’s unexpectedly shoddy operation.

If one knew how to use fireballs, one could knock down this saltpeter mining camp, and that would be understandable.

But the problem now was…

What advantages did the lion people, who could only use the wind magic, have in order to win this battle? Was there a conflict because of the differing races?

Su Mo could not figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Su Mo put down the binoculars, and checked once again that there were no problems with the equipment on his body. He then slowly moved forward.

As the giant logs were blocking the line of sight, and the lion people did not have a surveillance structure like the watchtower, Su Mo managed to reach a distance of one kilometer away from the lion people’s camp after carefully avoiding their line of sight.

If he continued to move forward, Su Mo had to worry about being discovered by them.

“The lion people’s camp seems to have more loopholes than the kobold’s camp…” Laying on the ground and thinking of the dozens of kilograms of explosives in the storage space, Su Mo quickly thought about the pros and cons.

With the current amount of explosives he had, it may be too difficult to beat the kobolds, but they were enough to blow up these lions!

Even if all the lion people could not be killed, relying on the chaos the explosions would cause, Su Mo was confident that he could successfully disrupt their positions.

The rewards at the end of it would be gratifying!

“On the other hand…With these lion people around, they could balance out and resist the currently powerful kobolds. Otherwise, I would have to face Kento Maeda straight on…”

“Let’s see if I can form an alliance with these lion people for a while. At the very least, I have to figure out a way to disrupt the development speed of the Kobolds.”

Lowering his head, Su Mo moved forward quickly.

After walking forward about five hundred meters, Su Mo stopped and continued to observe the situation.

This time, Su Mo could see more!

In the center of the lion people’s camp, there were approximately a hundred wounded soldiers and over two hundred soldiers in good condition.

Looking around, Su Mo located the only elder lion creature wearing a robe among all the lions, and…

“There are human captives caught by these damn lions!”

“I knew it… after coming to the wasteland, all foreign races are enemies. These beasts!”

On the side of the camp, dozens of human beings were tied onto a huge wood.

Observing with the binoculars, Su Mo felt frigid and infuriated.

The men were tied to the wood, the flesh in the key areas of their body had already gone missing, and the blood shed had already stained the wood behind them and the earth under their feet.

Su Mo could not see the expressions on their faces from this distance, but his imagination filled in the gaps; he could only fathom the pain of being skinned alive while being tied up!

As for the pots of meat that were brought out to feed the wounded and the soldiers at this time, Su Mo dared not think about where that meat had come from!

“Damn it! The human race is inherently slow in development. Only once we amassed a large number of basic tools would it be possible for us to contend with these supernatural races!”

“In this race for the survival of all creatures, humans were already on the backfoot from the beginning!”

Kobolds were beasts, but Su Mo had at least seen humans working with them. As for these lions… they should all die!!!

Relieving the urge to blow up the lion people’s camp to the sky, Su Mo continued to look around coldly…

The features of the male and female lion people were very distinguishable.

The ones with a mane wreathed around their necks were males, and the bare ones were lionesses.

As for the elder lion person, Su Mo watched for a while…

“Well, it seems this is the leader of this lion camp, and it looks like it is a female!”

The Lioness stood in the center of the circle, surrounded by wounded soldiers and warriors, seemingly shouting to boost morale.

As the meat was served, the Lioness raised her staff, and all the lion people cheered for a while and began to eat.

It was originally a harmonious scene but, in Su Mo’s eyes, it was like hell on earth.

This group of uncivilized beasts treated all other races as food. Even if these creatures had evolved a human body and some slight intelligence, they were still beasts!

“Wait… Intelligence?”

Looking at the Lioness who was still speaking in the center, a bold idea came to Su Mo!

“The lion people have lost the battle with the kobolds. They are also aware that humans helped the kobolds to defend their camp. If I also show a certain degree of strength and will to help them, would it be possible to…”

“Expel the wolves by steering the tigers! And let the whole situation re-enter a balanced state!”

The situation suddenly became more complicated, and Su Mo’s mind raced with various thoughts.

Compared to the danger of going out, with these two timebombs located near his shelter, one should instead be careful of the attacks of these beasts when one sleeps at night.

How could he allow an enemy to sleep so soundly beside his nest?

If he could create conflict between the lion people and the kobolds, it would be Su Mo, who was weak in comparison, who could profit from the chaos.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this strategy would work!

Su Mo stood up and patted off the dirt from his body. He signaled Oreo to wait where she was and not to move from her spot. Su Mo then turned on the electric switch on his boots and walked forward tentatively.

After he approached the three-hundred meter mark, the lion people on the opposite side noticed Su Mo’s existence and began to yowl.

In the distance, Su Mo held aloft the leftover moldy sheets from yesterday in his hands. He waved over his head, indicating a friendly demeanor.

The lion people from the opposite side understood it as well. They did not attack rashly, but bellowed threateningly, beckoning Su Mo to not continue moving forward.

Tentatively closing the distance to one hundred meters, he confirmed that the lion people had no long-range attack abilities or the tendencies to attack. Su Mo felt relieved and stopped moving forward.

Separated by a hundred meters on both sides, Su Mo waved the floral bedsheet in his hand, while the lion people raised their spears and roared, forming a strange balance.

There were more than two hundred healthy warriors in the camp, but no one dared to rush out hastily.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo was overjoyed.

“It was a correct gamble. This group of lion people possess intelligence, just like the kobolds. I can try to communicate with them!”
