As a vassal tribe under the jurisdiction of the middle-grade Iron Hoof Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe had the right to rule the territory under its control. However, it had to pay tribute to the suzerain tribe regularly and provide military services. The suzerain tribe had the right to recruit the warriors of the vassal tribes under its jurisdiction to fight and defend.
"What?
Recruit 10 Blood Refining Realm warriors to the Iron Hoof City to defend the battlefield of the Blood Clan! "
At this moment, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe were no longer happy about the increase in the tribe's rank. Not to mention the double tribute as a low-grade superior tribe, just the 10 Blood Refining Realm warriors already accounted for half of the combat power of the Gu Yuan Tribe. This was including the five Qiu brothers. Otherwise, the ratio would have reached 80%. This was equivalent to transferring all the high-end combat power of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Why, Chief Xiao? The Gu Yuan Tribe dares to disobey the enlistment order of the Iron Hoof Tribe!"
There were no free benefits in the world, let alone in the Wasteland, which was full of endless dangers. Xiao Chen could not help but smile bitterly in his heart. This was not something that could be refused. The only way to disobey the order of the suzerain tribe was for the Gu Yuan Tribe to leave the territory of the Iron Hoof Tribe. However, where could the Gu Yuan Tribe go in the vast Wasteland?
"I dare not. As the people under the jurisdiction of the middle-grade Iron Hoof Tribe, the Iron Hoof Tribe has suppressed the millions of miles of the Wasteland and protected the peace of the Wasteland. This is a great contribution to the Human Clan. How can the Gu Yuan Tribe not accept the imperial edict?"
"Good!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen had no objection, Tie Mo spoke again, "Our Iron Hoof Tribe has a large number of Cultivation Methods and Martial Techniques. There are even secret manuals left behind from the ancient times. As long as you have enough military merits, our Iron Hoof Tribe will not be stingy with rewards. After the period of guarding here ends, our Iron Hoof Tribe will allow you to pass on these Cultivation Methods and Martial Techniques to your clansmen!"
Tie Mo's words were sonorous and powerful. As the suzerain of the suzerain, how could he not give some rewards to the warriors of the various tribes? Of course, there were some things that he did not say, which was that the life and death of the recruited warriors would be up to fate.
Life and death were up to fate, and wealth and honor were up to the heavens!
This was the naked reality!
"Our human race has fought hundreds of battles in the Great Wasteland and shed our blood on the blue dome of heaven. What we have relied on is generation after generation of our clansmen. Although our Gu Yuan Tribe is not a large tribe with a legacy of tens of thousands of years, the blood of our ancestors flows in our veins. Of course, our Gu Yuan Tribe will not let you guard the battlefield of the Blood Race. After the annual sacrifice, ten Blood Refining Realm warriors of our Gu Yuan Tribe will rush to Iron Hoof City and listen to the orders of the Iron Hoof War Division. Not for rewards, but to live up to the countless loyal souls of our ancestors!"
Since he couldn't refuse, why not leave a good impression on this captain of the Iron Hoof Tribe? Xiao Chen could tell that as a captain of this tribe, he must be an iron-blooded person who had dominated the Great Wilderness. Acting coy would only make him look down on him.
Eh?
Sure enough, in the next moment, this captain's eyebrows, which were originally tightly furrowed, slightly opened. He was a little surprised. The chief of this small tribe in front of him was indeed to his liking. He had spent his entire life on the battlefield and had fought countless foreign races. He hated them as if they were his mortal enemies, and a martial artist who could put the greater good of the Human Race first was naturally to his liking.
"Chief Xiao, it is said that the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Treasure Elephant Tribe have made a battle agreement. After the annual sacrifice, they will fight to the death!"
At this time, Tie Mo changed the topic and unexpectedly mentioned the battle agreement between Xiao Chen and Elephant Sky. This battle agreement was made by Xiao Chen in Duanmu City in front of the Shadow Forest Tribe and the other tribes. It was not a secret. Although he didn't know why Tie Mo brought it up, Xiao Chen calmly agreed.
Not only that, but the young man from the Dark Wood Tribe also pricked up his ears to listen.
Under the rule of the Iron Hoof Tribe, there would often be disputes between the tribes. After all, in this chaotic wasteland, if one wanted to survive, they would need to constantly fight and fight. Only the strong would have the right to survive and continuously strengthen themselves.
The Iron Hoof Tribe normally would not interfere with the disputes between the tribes under their rule. After all, a dragon could not be bred in shallow waters. The survival of the fittest was the survival of the fittest. The Wasteland was only suitable for the survival of the strong. As long as the tribes under their rule paid tributes on time, the Iron Hoof Tribe would let the other tribes do as they pleased. This was also the reason why Tie Mo brought this up.
"This battle is over!"
What?!
"My lord, this is a battle agreement between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Treasure Elephant Tribe. It is an ancient agreement that has been passed down since time immemorial. There is a saying in the Great Wilderness that anyone who violates it will be attacked by all the tribes!"
The news shocked everyone, but the first to jump out was Wu Yuan of the Dark Wood Tribe. He was a bit anxious, but when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he stopped talking.
"Hmph!"
Tie Mo suddenly turned his gaze, and two rays of white light shot out from his eyes. The rays of light were like rainbows, and they contained a bone-piercing chill as they descended on Wu Yuan.
Boom!
Wu Yuan was sent flying more than 30 meters away without any resistance, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with shock, as if he was surprised that Tie Mo dared to attack him.
"This is my business, and no one is allowed to interfere. If this happens again, even the young chief won't be able to save you. I believe that even if I kill you, the young chief won't be able to do anything to me!"
This time, Wu Yuan seemed to be frightened by the fear of death, and his eyes were filled with resentment. In the next moment, he got up and flew into the Great Wilderness, ignoring the gazes of the people around him. He didn't even care about the jade horned lion.
"This time, my chief has ordered all vassal tribes to stop all internal conflicts and focus on exterminating the remnants of the foreign tribes. I have already discussed this with the chief of the Treasure Elephant Tribe, and he has agreed to give up this battle and deal with the foreign tribes together!"
Tie Mo didn't care about Wu Yuan, who had left, and continued to narrate in a cold tone.
"I won't hide this from you. I believe that this news will spread throughout the Great Wilderness soon. Now, not only has the battlefield of the Blood Clan, which is guarded by the Iron Hoof Tribe, been disturbed, but the battlefield of the Ghost Clan, which is guarded by the high-grade Eternal Night Tribe, and the battlefield of the Evil Spirit Tribe, which is guarded by the middle-grade Emerald Cloud Tribe, have also been disturbed. Therefore, in order to prevent the foreign tribes from retaliating, the many tribes under the rule of the Iron Hoof Tribe must work together to resist the foreign tribes' attack!"
What!
Everyone couldn't help but wonder if the foreign tribes' chaos was about to break out again. The Great Wilderness was in a precarious situation, and the human race was plagued with disasters!
In the end, the captain glanced at everyone again, then gently patted the jade white lion he was sitting on, and immediately flew into the Great Wilderness.
"Chief Xiao, I hope that your Gu Yuan Tribe will prepare for war. In the upcoming battle, protect the bloodline of the human race, and defend the land left behind by our ancestors!"
The middle-aged battle envoy's voice came from afar. Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked into the distance. His eyes were indifferent, without joy or sorrow, and it was difficult for others to guess what he was thinking!
"Chief, is our human race going to fall into the era of blood and fire again?"
"Our human race has never died in a hundred battles, and we have reproduced since ancient times. Countless loyal and brave warriors have been bathed in blood in a hundred battles. Even if we fall into the blood and fire, there will be a day of return!"
Xiao Chen's eyes became hot, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, as if dispelling the fear of his tribesmen.
"Chief, can the Treasure Elephant Tribe really let go of their grudges?" At this moment, the Grand Elder on the side said with some uncertainty.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. At this moment, he didn't want to say anything more. He had completely integrated himself into the Great Wilderness, and he understood that the Desolate Dwellers here weren't as simple as they seemed. He had already seen through some of their dirty tricks.
Perhaps. The human race had fought against the hundred races of the Great Wilderness, and since ancient times, the land had been stained with blood. If someone stirred up trouble in this unstable time, then the hundred races wouldn't even need to join forces, and many of the human tribes would collapse on their own!
