Chapter 167: Watching the Battle!

Zhang Fan never intended to bring the females straight onto the battlefield to fight; his recent move was merely to provoke them, to see how the chieftain and the elders would react.

But the result was indeed disappointing! Besides Elder Jiadejia, who gave a good suggestion on this matter, no one else was willing to step forward and voice their opinion.

Of course, Zhang Fan was still pleased with the chieftain's approach! That unconditional trust let him clearly feel that the chieftain already regarded him as his own child.

Zhang Fan and Fei Er walked out of the office together, then directly led all the females away, heading toward the tribe's city wall.

Before they even reached their destination, Zhang Fan already faintly heard the wailing cries coming from outside the city wall, and the sounds of the male beastmen guards on the wall drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

When they arrived at the city wall, everyone clearly saw the male beastmen continuously shooting arrows with bows and arrows on the wall, as well as the male beastmen busy transporting arrows and large stones at the wall's edge.

Because they had arrived at a spot not far from the tribe's main gate, through the gap in the gate everyone could even see the scene outside the tribe where blood flowed like a river.

Some beastmen were severely injured but still maintained their beast form; however, others, struck in a vital spot, had permanently closed their eyes, and after death their bodies automatically transformed into human shape.

Seeing the enemy male beastmen lying everywhere outside, Zhang Fan, without a second thought, had everyone stop in their tracks.

Looking back at the females' reactions, Zhang Fan hadn't expected them to once again open his eyes to them! He had thought that, facing war for the first time, they might be frightened pale or even faint outright!

But when Zhang Fan turned around, what he saw was not pale, fainting females on the ground; instead, he saw each female standing straight as a regiment! Seeing the females' performance, Zhang Fan felt greatly relieved.

"Very good! Everyone is doing well! Indeed, none of you have let down my efforts! I am proud of your bravery! I just don't know whether, once you go onto the battlefield, you will still be able to satisfy me."

After saying that, Zhang Fan gave a light smile, turned around, and stopped looking at the females.

Regarding Zhang Fan's words, which were clearly praising their current performance and encouraging their morale, the females each had their own opinions.

Now that Zhang Fan was no longer looking at them, some females secretly began to discuss below.

"Hey! Instructor, what does this mean? Are you giving us a new difficult problem?" Female A said anxiously.

"Hey! Who cares! No matter how difficult the problem, we still have to face it, right? Since we originally chose to become guard members, we can't back down!" Female B said, waving her hand indifferently.

"Right! Right! I'm still looking forward to what difficult problem the instructor will give us next! If we could go onto the battlefield, that would be great! Hahaha! I can't wait to use the bow and arrow in my hand to shoot the enemy male beastmen's buttocks!"

Female C, stroking her chin, said with an evil laugh.

"Hahaha! How can you be so violent! We are elegant females! How can we think of using bow and arrow to shoot the male beastmen's buttocks! We should use the beast-skin whip in our hand to whip their little buttocks instead!"

Female D, squinting her eyes, said with ill intent.

"Hahaha! Ge Rui Si is still awesome! Your moves probably wouldn't even be enough to look at in front of him! You could totally go back and try this with your male as a fun activity! Ge Rui Si is different—he directly challenges the male beastmen!"

Female E could be considered a little fan of Ge Rui Si; he disagreed with Female D's statement, and in his opinion Ge Rui Si's straightforward approach was still better. So, upon hearing Female D's words, Female E immediately began to tease.

As soon as Female E's words fell, the surrounding females who heard it couldn't help but cover their mouths and secretly laugh.

Although Zhang Fan appeared to be facing away from the females, seemingly observing the battle situation outside the tribe, he was actually secretly listening to the females' conversation.

When he heard Female D say she would whip the male beastmen's buttocks with a beast-skin whip, Zhang Fan couldn't help but chuckle secretly—he hadn't expected that there would be females who would think of such a "brutal" method.

However, upon hearing Female E's remarks, he realized he had been completely wrong! He hadn't imagined that among those females who seemed to have no ulterior motives, there would actually be a "seasoned driver"!

At this moment Zhang Fan felt that perhaps this world had gone mad! Never mind that this is a crazy planet where dinosaurs and various mammals coexist; just speaking of these so-called females, Zhang Fan found them utterly unbelievable!

They clearly look like men, yet they can serve as the ones who give birth?

Even the legendary mermaids said to be unsurpassably beautiful on Earth, when they come to this planet, although the mermaids remain beautiful, their appearance actually turns out to be male-like as well! Even the legendary female mermaids are male in appearance!

And now, there are actually females who can think of "SM"! Although they currently don't know that term, Zhang Fan still feels that the females have once again refreshed his understanding of this beastman planet!

After that, the females chatted about other things, but Zhang Fan no longer continued to listen. He felt that with his current brain capacity, he simply couldn't hold all the females' wild ideas unrelated to war.

Of course, he didn't immediately speak up to stop the females from talking; he just turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, pretending not to hear. Zhang Fan believed that, after all, this was their first time facing war directly, so letting them talk a little could help ease everyone's fear.

Zhang Fan gazed at the scene before him, silently calculating in his heart when and how he should appear before the male beastmen guard unit to propose that the females join the fight.

After thinking for about ten or so minutes, Zhang Fan still had no clue, because it was obvious that the tribe's high ground made it easy to defend and hard to attack. Moreover, with the presence of bows and arrows and catapults...

... when facing the invading foreign tribe, they could effortlessly drive them to utter defeat, making them cry for their fathers and mothers! At that point, if he went to tell the males that the females wanted to join the fight...

... the male beastmen, even if they superficially agreed to let the females go onto the battlefield, would likely only assign the females to observe, not allowing them to actually engage in combat.

Thinking this, Zhang Fan turned his head. As he turned, the females' chatter below ceased abruptly, as if nothing had happened; they all stood straight, just as they had when they first arrived.

Seeing the females' reaction, Zhang Fan secretly chuckled in his heart. This really reminded him of the days when he used to whisper secretly in class back on Earth! Only difference is that, back then the one whispering secretly below was himself, whereas now he is equivalent to a teacher.

And those who were whispering secretly below have now been replaced by the females of the beastman planet. No longer are they the classmates who used to mischief around with him. As for those teachers who used to stand on the podium lecturing back then, nobody knows what they look like now.

Every time he thinks back to those days on Earth, Zhang Fan feels an endless sense of emotion.

Zhang Fan stood silently before the females for about five minutes, then raised his head and shouted sternly:

"Those who spoke just now and those who made unauthorized small movements without permission, please step forward voluntarily, go to the city wall's edge to watch the tribe's outside "scenery" and do eight sets of eight push‑ups! Now! Immediately!"

As soon as Zhang Fan's words fell, more than half of the females stepped forward. They automatically and voluntarily followed Zhang Fan's instructions, went to the city wall's edge, lay down, and began counting the rhythm themselves while doing push‑ups.

Zhang Fan coldly eyed the remaining half of the females and said loudly:

"Did you see that? This is the consequence of not paying attention to the battle! Originally I still thought you were all experiencing war for the first time, so I wanted to give you a little appetizer. But you? How are you "repaying" my good intentions?"

Zhang Fan said this while slowly pacing among the females. After letting out a cold snort, he continued:

"Since some people are not well‑meaning, they should suffer a bit! Look! The hardship is still to come!"

The male beastmen who had been busy, upon seeing Zhang Fan disciplining people, also couldn't help but shrink their necks, fearing that Zhang Fan would discover them. At the same time, they couldn't help but sneak a glance at the females being punished.

Many male beastmen wanted to see reluctance on the females' faces, but the females disappointed them. Not a single face showed any reluctance; instead, they all especially agreed with Zhang Fan's words.

Moreover, quite a few of the punished females, when they noticed male beastmen secretly looking at them, would even greet them with a silly grin, completely unaware that they were being punished.

Seeing this, the male beastmen began to wonder. "Are these still the arrogant, overbearing females? This is completely like a harmless little rabbit! This bears no resemblance to the females originally in the tribe—it's as if they've been replaced!"

Although a replacement of one or two might be plausible, the possibility that all eight hundred females have been replaced is still infinitesimal! Moreover! Females are the tribe's treasure!

They cannot easily leave the tribe! They must be accompanied by a beastman to be allowed out of the tribe's gate! In the past month, there has been no magnetic departure at all! So could it really be that the Divine Envoy's training has made them so different?

This is truly unbelievable! Moreover, the action they performed is really strange! I've never seen anything like it! Looking at this, some male beastmen, out of curiosity, might even try it.

However, many male beastmen, even with excellent physical strength, might not necessarily be able to complete three sets of eight push‑ups. Consequently, the male beastmen admired Zhang Fan even more.

Eight sets of eight push‑ups are not difficult for the females who are already accustomed to them. So, not long after, the females finished them one after another.

Zhang Fan watched as everyone, after finishing, merely used their arms and legs to support their bodies. He silently nodded to them, and then they each stood up, one by one, reporting to Zhang Fan and requesting to re‑join the unit.
