Thousands of miles away from the Gu Yuan Tribe, there was a bluestone mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a low-ranked human combat division that occupied an area of more than ten miles.
This human combat division was called the Magpie Mountain Tribe. It got its name because the mountain behind it was shaped like a magpie soaring in the sky. The Magpie Mountain Tribe had been established for thousands of years and had a population of more than thirty thousand people. It was ranked as a mid-ranked low-ranked tribe on the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele under the rule of the Iron Hoof Tribe.
However, the Wasteland was full of dangers. Natural disasters and man-made disasters were frequent, and the rebellions of the foreign races were frequent. Moreover, fierce beasts often appeared in the ancient mountains. Even though the Magpie Mountain Tribe had more than ten Blood Refining Realm warriors, it was difficult for the tribe to increase its strength after reaching such a level while being besieged by these external dangers.
Not long ago, the Magpie Mountain Tribe was besieged by nearly a hundred vengeful spirits that were as powerful as human Blood Refining Realm warriors. There were also countless vengeful spirits that were as powerful as human centurions. After several days of continuous darkness, this human army, which was not weak at all, collapsed. Not only was the chief, who was the strongest warrior in the tribe, gravely wounded and killed by more than ten vengeful spirits, even more than half of the elders and chiliarchs of the tribe had fallen. In this battle, it could be said that the tribe's foundation, which had been built up for hundreds of years, had been completely destroyed.
However, disaster did not come alone. In the depths of the Magpie Mountain Tribe, there was a two-star fierce beast that was comparable to a human late Blood Refining Realm warrior. It took advantage of the fact that the Magpie Mountain Tribe's strength was greatly reduced to wreak havoc and hunt humans. In order to resist this fierce beast, the Magpie Mountain Tribe once again paid the price of two Blood Refining Realm warriors to drive this fierce beast into the depths of the mountain.
Disaster and chaos prevailed. With the continuous battles, the Magpie Mountain Tribe could be said to be in a precarious situation. Every family's white sails fluttered as they cried and groaned day and night!
"Alright, everyone, this is the information about the Magpie Mountain Tribe that the tribe's scouts have found. The Magpie Mountain Tribe can be said to have lost all of its strength. There are only three chiliarchs left in the tribe, and all of them are heavily injured. The higher-ups of the tribe have almost all been wiped out, but the other ordinary tribesmen still have their strength and can be recruited into our Gu Yuan Tribe. What do the elders and chiliarchs think?"
At this moment, in the great hall at the top of the stone tower in the center of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Blood Refining Realm warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe had gathered and were discussing the tribe's next development. It was already the second day since the mid-rank Iron Hoof Tribe's war envoy had left.
Hearing what Xiao Chen had said, everyone in the hall could not help but nod. Everyone in the great hall nodded in agreement. Hearing of the war envoy of the people of the Gu Yuan Of the tribe, the Iron Tribe, the people of the Gu of the Tribe, the Of Of Tribe, Blood Iron Tribe of the of people of the Blood of of of the tribe of Gu Yuan Tribe.
The news brought by the war envoy of the Iron Hoof Tribe forced Xiao Chen to increase the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe as soon as possible in order to deal with the various crises that might break out in the Wasteland.
Not to mention the various crises that might happen, the Gu Yuan Tribe's assessment as a high-low-rank tribe was already very difficult. The combat power of the higher-ups was barely enough, the number of tribesmen was too few, and there was a shortage of soldiers to protect the tribe. There was no way the Gu Yuan Tribe could resist the future rebellion of the foreign tribes. The Gu Yuan Tribe's current strength was far from enough!
Therefore, Xiao Chen had made up his mind to gather the weaker human tribes in the Wasteland and bring them under the rule of the Gu Yuan Tribe, thus enriching the tribe's population.
Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe had gone through a new expansion, the newly built city had a radius of more than 20 kilometers. Even if the surrounding hills and some other areas were excluded, it was still enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of tribesmen. Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe had less than 20,000 tribesmen, so it was difficult for them to take care of such a large city. The high-low-rank combat tribe did not live up to its name at all!
It lived up to its name, but it had few tribesmen and insufficient soldiers!
Fortunately, absorbing other tribes that had suffered heavy losses in the Vengeful Spirit Rebellion had already been agreed upon by Xiao Chen and the elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe. It was just that the arrival of the war envoy had sped up the process.
"Reporting to Chief, the Magpie Mountain Tribe used to be a more powerful tribe than our Gu Yuan Tribe, and they had many tribesmen. Even though they were ravaged by the Vengeful Spirits, according to the scouts, they still had nearly 20,000 tribesmen. It won't be easy to subdue them!"
At this moment, the Great Elder spoke. It was normal for him to be so worried. A human combat tribe that was originally more powerful than the Gu Yuan Tribe had suffered a blow, but with the foundation that they had accumulated for thousands of years, how could they simply lower their heads to another tribe, let alone a tribe that had a weaker foundation than their own tribe?
"Therefore, we need a powerful warrior to subdue them in one fell swoop and completely shatter their thousand-year glory. We need to let them understand that the Magpie Mountain Tribe has become a thing of the past. If they cling to the past, they will not only lose the thousand-year glory of the Magpie Mountain Tribe, but also the true destruction of their tribe!"
"Chief, Xue Sha has just joined the Gu Yuan Tribe and has yet to make any significant contributions. Why don't you let me go to the Magpie Mountain Tribe? I will definitely not disappoint you and bring them under the rule of the Gu Yuan Tribe."
Xue Sha volunteered, which was something that Xiao Chen had expected. Moreover, apart from Xiao Chen, Xue Sha was the most powerful and meticulous person in the Gu Yuan Tribe. He was the best candidate for this mission.
"Alright!
Elder Xue will go to the Magpie Mountain Tribe! "
After Xue Sha joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen made him a nominal elder of the Gu Yuan Tribe. He did not have any specific duties.
"For an ordinary low-level combat tribe, a population of more than 10,000 is enough. However, the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe has long reached a bottleneck and has been unable to break through. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Iron Hoof Tribe to raise the status of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe must recruit enough tribesmen in one fell swoop. Without enough tribesmen, we will not be able to accumulate enough resources, and we will not be able to expand the number of Guardian Soldiers. In this way, the number of tribesmen that the Gu Yuan Tribe needs to recruit is several times the current population of the tribe. Therefore, all the elders must strictly guard against all kinds of crises and ensure that they are eliminated in the bud!"
Xiao Chen's words became sharper, and in the end, there was even a murderous intent!
"In addition, except for a small number of Guardian Soldiers who will guard the mine, the rest will enter the tribe. This month will be a crucial period for the Gu Yuan Tribe to establish its foundation. Anyone who dares to make a move will be killed!"
"Yes!"
The chiliarchs immediately stood up and shouted in unison!
Immediately afterward, the higher-ups of the Gu Yuan Tribe continued to analyze which of the surrounding tribes were suitable to be recruited into the Gu Yuan Tribe through the intelligence sent back by the scouts. Based on this rough calculation, there were more than 10 tribes that could be recruited into the Gu Yuan Tribe, which added up to 150,000 tribesmen!
This was more than seven times the current number of tribesmen in the Gu Yuan Tribe. It was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse that such a large number of people were forcibly absorbed.
On the second day, when the sky had just turned bright, several streams of light suddenly shot out from the Gu Yuan Tribe and shot toward the end of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
