Even though they had the sharp blades of the giant crossbows, they still couldn't avoid casualties among the tribe's warriors. Blood flowed like a river in the valley, and countless broken limbs and mangled flesh bloomed in the valley. This victory was built on the blood and flesh of their tribesmen.
After wiping out the Evil Spirit soldiers in one fell swoop, there was only one group of foreign races left that had besieged the Gu Yuan Tribe. Moreover, this group of foreign race soldiers was a motley crew. The Gu Yuan Tribe had the advantage of time, location, and manpower, so wiping them out was a piece of cake.
After the battle, the Gu Yuan Tribe's soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the remains of their fallen comrades and retrieving the steel arrows that had been shot out. Apart from a few damaged arrows, the rest could still be reused.
However, there were still some tribesmen who were somewhat indignant. The foreign races had wreaked havoc on the land of the human race in the Great Wilderness, and countless humans had been slaughtered by them. Slaughtering the foreign races could be said to be the lifelong belief of every human in the Great Wilderness. Countless human soldiers had fought against the foreign races in the Great Wilderness, and not even their bones remained. However, today, they found out that there were humans colluding with the foreign races. They fought and fought against the foreign races, but those traitors stabbed them in the back. This made the tribesmen feel very uncomfortable.
As warriors, they were duty-bound to protect their wives and children, as well as the land that their ancestors had left behind. Ever since they were born, they had been instilled with the belief of protecting the human race and slaughtering their people in the Great Wilderness. This time, they actually found out that someone was betraying this belief that had been passed down in the human race's bloodline since ancient times. Damn it!
"Chief, the tribe's warriors have finished recuperating, and the remains of the fallen warriors have been cremated. Return to the tribe and bury them in the tribe's land. They will be worshipped by the tribe for generations to come!"
Not long after, the chiliarchs and the other elders had already arrived in front of Xiao Chen. This time, they had once again obtained a complete victory. They had completely annihilated the foreign race's stragglers with only a few casualties. This was something rarely seen among the many tribes of the Wasteland.
Xiao Chen did not waste any time and immediately asked, "How many soldiers are there that can continue fighting?!"
"Fortunately, with the help of the giant crossbows, besides the soldiers who died and were seriously injured, the six 1,000-man battle masters have nearly 5,000 soldiers that can be used. It's enough to encircle the remaining foreign race soldiers!"
"Alright!
Now, there is only a group of wandering foreign tribe warriors around the territory of my Gu Yuan Tribe. The warriors of my tribe have killed more than seven thousand foreign tribe warriors, and there are more than twenty Blood Refining Realm warriors among them. Now, even in the middle rank Iron Hoof Tribe, my Gu Yuan Tribe has a say! "
After saying that, Xiao Chen handed over an animal skin scroll to his subordinates. This was a message from the Great Elder delivered by the Blue-eyed Goshawk a moment ago.
What!
"The Battle Envoy of a middle-ranked combat division has once again descended upon our Gu Yuan Tribe!"
"Could it be that there's another anomaly in the Boulder Valley?!"
"This Battle Emissary knows that the elite warriors of the Ancient Yuan Tribe are going to the Great Wasteland to hunt the Outsiders. But how did he find out?"
Everyone exclaimed. This Battle Emissary rarely came once in a hundred years, but in just a few months, he had actually come to their unknown small tribe twice. What was the reason for this? After all, Xiao Chen was currently tens of thousands of miles away from the tribe. He also did not know why this Battle Emissary from a middle-ranked combat division had returned.
"Since the Battle Emissary of the Shang Nation's Sect Master has come, I must rush back to the tribe. However, this time's expedition can't be considered as giving up halfway. The two largest groups of wandering foreign tribe warriors have already been annihilated by the children of the tribe. The remaining ones are just a motley crew."
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen immediately said, "Six chiliarchs and five elders, listen up."
"Yes."
"Lead the injured warriors and the remains of the dead warriors, as well as 500 soldiers, back to the tribe at top speed!"
"As for the remaining group of wandering foreign tribe warriors, five elders will assist the chiliarchs in annihilating them. The Hall Master of the Dark Hall will lead the scouts in the tribe to provide you with intelligence support!"
"Once this group of wandering foreign tribe warriors is annihilated, immediately lead the troops back to the tribe."
"I will wait for the triumphant return of the warriors in the tribe."
"Yes!"
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the injured warriors of the Ancient Yuan Tribe had already packed up and returned to the Ancient Yuan Tribe under the leadership of Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was also constantly thinking about why the Battle Emissary of the Iron Hoof Tribe had returned, but he had no clue. If it was because the Ancient Yuan Tribe was besieged by the Outsiders, then it was because the Outsiders could not bear the loneliness and came out to wreak havoc in the Great Wasteland. The Ancient Yuan Tribe was not the only tribe that had been besieged by them. Some tribes had even been annihilated by these Outsiders, and many of them had died.
As the Battle Emissary of the Shang State, the various vassal tribes under his rule should also deal with these Human Tribe troops that needed assistance. Otherwise, even if the Iron Hoof Tribe was powerful and had a deep foundation, it would not be able to withstand the Outsiders' poaching.
Because Xiao Chen was leading the injured warriors of the Ancient Yuan Tribe, the journey was not very fast. It took them five days to travel from the nameless valley to the Wasteland, which was thousands of kilometers away from the tribe. He wondered if the Shang State Battle Emissary had gotten impatient.
After the Gu Yuan Tribe experienced the devastation of the ghostly night, the tribe had already regained its usual liveliness. Even though Xiao Chen had led the tribe's soldiers out to conquer the Great Desolate, the tribe was still bustling with noise. The city gates were filled with people. Within a short hour, several thousand people had already entered the city gates.
When they were about a hundred kilometers away from the tribe, the people of the tribe who had gone out to hunt discovered Xiao Chen and the others. They all came forward to help, taking care of the injured warriors of the tribe, regardless of the blood all over their bodies.
Xiao Chen did not hesitate anymore. He handed the injured warriors to the people of the tribe to take care of, and the Pegasus rushed toward the tribe. According to the people of the tribe, the Battle Emissary seemed to have settled down in the tribe, as if he was part of the tribe. He wandered around the tribe every day. At this moment, Xiao Chen could not figure out what the Battle Emissary was up to.
The Pegasus flew in the sky and flapped its golden flame-like wings. It turned into a stream of light and arrived at the top of the stone tower in the center of the tribe in a moment.
In the hall above the stone tower, the three elders of the tribe were sitting, as if they were waiting for Xiao Chen's arrival.
"Chief!"
Xiao Chen gestured to the three elders not to be too polite. He immediately said, "Elders, what's the matter with the Battle Emissary of the middle-rank military troops?"
Hearing this, the three elders smiled bitterly and repeatedly said that they did not know.
"Chief, this Battle Emissary suddenly arrived a few days ago. I originally thought that he was going to recruit warriors of our tribe to go out to war. Who would have thought that after he came to our Ancient Yuan Tribe, the Battle Emissary had no intention of speaking at all. He only praised you for your good management of the tribe. In just a few months, the tribe's strength has increased several times. He even said that we need a martial artist like you to join us!"
"Could it be that this Battle Emissary has his eyes on our Ancient Yuan Tribe?"
