After Xue Sha's words fell, all the warriors in the hall could not help but fall into deep thought. After the battle, everyone's tense nerves had relaxed, and they had time to analyze the reason for the Ghost Race's attack.
The Wasteland was vast. Even in the hinterland of the Human Race, it was normal for there to be some wandering foreign race warriors hiding. However, all of these wandering foreign race warriors in the hinterland of the Human Race were very cautious, fearing that they would be wiped out by the major military divisions of the Human Race. How could they not be suspicious when a group of wandering foreign race warriors of the Ghost Race had crossed tens of thousands of kilometers of the Wasteland and attacked their Guyuan Tribe without any warning?
"Elder Xue, where are the rogue combat masters of the Ghost Tribe that you know of?"
"In the Desolate Ancient Forest near the Dark Wood Tribe in Giant Stone Valley, there is a foreign tribe's joint combat master. This subordinate paid attention to them because the leader of this foreign tribe's combat master is a peak Ghost General of the Ghost Race. However, this foreign tribe is tens of thousands of kilometers away from our Gu Yuan Tribe, and there are dozens of human battle divisions between them. If this foreign tribe's independent combat master is purely hunting humans for blood, then there is no need for this foreign tribe's independent combat master to search far away. Moreover, it is said that this foreign tribe's independent combat master can barely fend for themselves, and has suffered heavy losses from the joint attack of the Dark Wood Tribe and several human battle divisions!"
"The Dark Wood Tribe!"
Hearing the Dark Wood Tribe mentioned by Xue Sha, Xiao Chen could not help but murmur. The name of this tribe sounded very familiar to him.
However, after a while, he remembered that when the middle-grade Iron Hoof Tribe's envoy arrived at the Guyuan Tribe, he was accompanied by a member of the Dark Wood Tribe. Although he did not know why the young warrior was with the envoy of the Iron Hoof Tribe, the young warrior's hostility towards the Guyuan Tribe was very obvious.
Xiao Chen was very sure that he did not know this young warrior. There was no conflict of interest between his tribe and the Dark Wood Tribe, so why did the young warrior hate his Guyuan Tribe so much?
After a while, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about it. Some things in the world had a cycle of cause and effect. Instead of wasting time here guessing, it was better to send the tribe's scouts out of the Wasteland to find out the truth.
Last night's battle had also exposed some problems in the Gu Yuan Tribe. A large group of wandering Ghost Race combat masters had entered the tribe's territory, but no one in the tribe had noticed them.
The Wasteland was covered densely with mountain ranges, swamps, and ancient forests. Not to mention those that were far away, just thirty to fifty kilometers away from the Gu Yuan Tribe was covered with mountains, rivers, and ancient forests. These were the natural hiding places for the remnants of the foreign races. For these wandering foreign race combat masters, every time they absorbed enough wandering soldiers and accumulated a certain amount of strength, they would start eyeing the human combat divisions in the surroundings. This was also the reason why Xiao Chen had to force the tribe's soldiers to take turns to fight in the Wasteland. It was to prevent the foreign race's wandering soldiers from forming an army. However, he didn't expect that an organized group of wandering ghost combat masters would take advantage of this loophole.
"Hall Master Shi, send the tribe's scouts to the Dark Wood Tribe. Investigate the relationship between the Dark Wood Tribe and the Elephant Artifact Tribe!"
Thinking of the hostility shown by the young warrior named Wu Yuan that day when he heard the battle envoy inform the Guyuan Tribe that the battle with the Elephant Artifact Tribe was canceled, Xiao Chen had always wondered where this young warrior's hostility came from. Perhaps he could start from this aspect.
"Our Guyuan Tribe is fair in rewards and punishments. In the battle tonight against the Ghost Race, all the elders and warriors of the tribe have contributed greatly. I have already ordered the Internal Affairs Elder to take out a large number of ores, materials, elixirs, and precious blood from the tribe's warehouse as rewards."
Hearing this, the many warriors in the hall immediately became noisy. In the battle tonight, many warriors had fought bravely against the Ghost Race. At this moment, they could not help but look forward to Xiao Chen's rewards.
After signaling for everyone to quiet down, Xiao Chen spoke again, "Third Elder, this time, the Ghost Race has wreaked havoc, and the tribe's houses, food, and various other resources have been greatly damaged. There are also many clansmen who have died in battle or are injured. You must appease the clansmen. Those who have no one to rely on will be provided for by the tribe!"
Internal Affairs Elder Xiao Qin stood up to receive the order, but he looked a little tired. After the battle last night and the aftermath, the tribe's reorganization and the tribe's settling down were all his responsibilities as an Internal Affairs Elder.
"After last night's battle, I have decided to set up four more positions: Guardian, Punitive, Guest, and Grand Elder, in addition to the three elders of Punishment, Technique Imparting, and Internal Affairs!"
At this moment, there were more than thirty Blood Refining Realm warriors in the Guyuan Tribe. After some consideration, Xiao Chen decided to set up four more positions: Guardian, Punitive, Guest, and Grand Elder. After all, the Guyuan Tribe was constantly developing, and the number of Blood Refining Realm warriors in the tribe would continue to increase. There was a need to set up corresponding positions to accommodate them. Today was just a prelude. At the same time, these four positions did not refer to a single person, but to a group.
"The Guardian Elder's responsibility is to protect the tribe's safety. Normally, he will guard the tribe and guard against the foreign races. He will be made up of seven elders: Que Lei, Que Dang, Li Shan, Xiao Ying Shan, Dang Lin, Sun Xing, and Wei Heng!"
Hearing this, the seven figures stood up to receive the order. These people were all Blood Refining Realm warriors who had recently joined the Guyuan Tribe. The only thing they had in common was that they were too old. They had passed the golden age of cultivation, and their Qi and blood were on the decline. The strongest among them was only at the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Xiao Chen had set up this position just to arrange a place for them to settle down in the tribe.
"The Punitive Elder's responsibility is to go out and fight for the tribe during times of war, and to protect the tribe during times of peace. He has the right to patrol the tribe's territory and go out and fight for the tribe. He will be made up of five elders: Shi Ya, Xue Sha Rhino Ming, Lin Yue, and Xiao Lin!"
The Punitive Expedition Elder was the tribe's protector. He was the main fighting force of the tribe. The members of the Punitive Expedition Elder were all young warriors.
"The five Qiu brothers will be the guest elders!"
Ever since the five Qiu brothers had followed Xiao Chen back to the Guyuan Tribe, they had been enjoying themselves. They used to wander around the Great Desolate to hunt beasts, collect medicinal herbs, and improve their cultivation. Xiao Chen could provide them with all of these things in the Guyuan Tribe. Not only that, they would be rewarded every time there was a great battle, and they could obtain the medicinal pills that they had hoped for in the past every month. Of course, they were not willing to leave such a good thing. Even though they did not join the Guyuan Tribe, they did not refute Xiao Chen's appointment of them as the Guyuan Tribe's guest elders.
"As for the Supreme Elder, he will be a warrior who has broken through to the Blood Refining Realm in the tribe, or a warrior who has made a great contribution to the tribe!"
One appointment after another came out of Xiao Chen's mouth. Some people were happy, while others were sad. However, they were powerless to change it.
