Que Yue Clan's stronghold.
For the past two days, the entire Dark Moon Branch Tribe had a cheerful expression on their faces. Even the most important day of the Great Wilderness, the annual sacrifice, wasn't as joyous as they were now. Each and every one of them had an expression of hope on their faces.
Especially a day ago, when Que Yueming had returned safely from the Thousand Demon Mountain Range with that ridiculously young Lord, the entire tribe was extremely excited, because that Lord had already promised to take their Que Yueming Branch Tribe as a true Battle Tribe member, and from then on, they would be able to provide for their entire lives, and have someone to rely on in their old age.
Six thousand soldiers!
Hundreds of centurions!
Dozens of chiliarchs!
These were the few sentences that the Que Yue Clan members had said the most over the past two days. What kind of combat division would this be? From the elderly with white hair to the toddlers who were just learning how to speak, their hearts were filled with boundless longing.
At this moment, in front of the stronghold, the clan leader of the Que Yue Clan could no longer be called the clan leader. After joining the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen had appointed him as a centurion.
Behind Que Yuedeng stood all the soldiers of the Que Yue Clan. There were also some youths who were eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Lord Clan Leader, Big Brother Ming followed that lord out of the Thousand Demon Mountain Range. This time, he followed the lord to the encampment of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Does the lord really want to move the tribe here?"
"That's right. The Green Qilin River has almost no rich resources other than the Green Qilin Fish. However, for a low-ranked combat division, the Green Qilin Fish in the river cannot sustain the livelihood of a low-ranked combat division!"
However, Que Yuedeng understood in his heart that the rather young Lord Patriarch might have taken a fancy to the ancient human city in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, and that was why he had the motive to move the entire clan here. Could it be that the Lord Patriarch didn't know about the curse of the ancient human city?
Or did he already have a way to deal with it?
"My Que Yue Clan is a lowly person, and does not number more than two thousand people. Our strength is not even on the surface, how can we know Daren's thoughts. Now that we are fortunate enough to join a human battalion, I have not let down the ancestors of my Que Yue Clan. Since my Que Yue Clan does not have the power to create a human battalion, then joining a powerful battalion is our best choice!"
Que Yue Deng said with a sigh. As the patriarch of a tribe, even if it was just a scattered tribe, how could he not have the slightest bit of ambition? However, the cruelty of the Great Wilderness had already shattered his ambitions.
Looking at these youths beside him, Que Yue knew that all of this was worth it. In their Que Yue Tribe, if these youths could reach his level of strength before they died, it would already be considered a heaven-shaking achievement. The Que Yue Tribe didn't have any foundation, resources, or martial arts manuals. It would be hard for them to nurture true experts.
"Chief, does that mean that we can really become powerful soldiers if we join the Gu Yuan Tribe?"
The eyes of the young man beside him were filled with hope. In their world, becoming a powerful warrior and protecting their people was their lifelong belief.
"Of course!
A true battalion has countless resources and countless martial arts manuals. Compared to scattered tribes, it will be much easier for clansmen to become warriors. When we join the Gu Yuan Tribe, you will all be able to study powerful martial arts manuals and become true warriors! "
"When we are strong enough, we will definitely teach the Xiting Battalion a lesson. Every time they rely on the strength of their tribe, they force us to buy and sell, using very few resources to exchange for the green-scaled fish we catch. How despicable!"
"With resources, you will definitely become sergeants, centurions, or even chiliarchs. At that time, you will be able to lead a thousand warriors to conquer the Great Wilderness!"
Looking at these chattering youths, the soldiers of the Que Yue Clan felt both gratified and regretful. These youths were all around the age of thirty, and there were even quite a few in their fifties. Their strength was only at the early or middle stage of the Bone Tempering realm, and they had already passed the best time to cultivate. Even if they obtained martial arts manuals, they would not be able to achieve much in the future. As for these youths, they had only just started on their path of martial arts.
At the same time, outside the Fallen Dragon Ridge.
The temporary encampment of the Gu Yuan Tribe was filled with noise. The clansmen were busy gathering resources. Soon, the Evil Qi in the crack of the cliff would be at its weakest. At that time, they would enter the Fallen Dragon Ridge and go to a strange place.
Que Yueming, who had come with Xiao Chen, was dumbfounded. No wonder he had never heard of the Gu Yuan Tribe. It turned out that the Gu Yuan Tribe came from the Great Wilderness outside the Fallen Dragon Ridge.
Looking at the busy crowd in the valley, there were no less than 200,000 people. Outside the entrance of the valley, there were thousands of soldiers wearing fiery red leather armors and riding on horse-type fierce beasts. Que Yueming found that each of these soldiers was above the Middle-stage of Bone Tempering Realm. Their majestic Qi and blood were crushing each other, dispersing the fog outside the valley.
These soldiers formed a phalanx, and in front of each phalanx was a war chariot pulled by a Two-star Ferocious Beast. On the war chariot was a figure with majestic Qi and blood. There were six such figures, and he could even sense the aura bursting out of these six chiliarchs. None of them were weaker than the chief of the Xiting Battalion.
Apart from these official soldiers, there were tens of thousands of warriors gathered together to protect the clansmen. Someone told him that these soldiers were only temporarily formed to protect the clansmen. This was because these temporary troops were made up of clansmen below the middle stage of the Bone Tempering realm and some retired clansmen. In the Gu Yuan Tribe, if one wanted to become a real soldier, his martial arts cultivation had to break through to the middle stage of the Bone Tempering realm.
"Is this the strength of a low-ranked combat division?"
Que Yueming muttered to himself. The strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe shocked him. Although he did not know why the Gu Yuan Tribe had moved to the Fallen Dragon Ridge from the outside, with such strength, it was more than enough for them to compete with the three major tribes in the central area of the Fallen Dragon Ridge. However, he did not know why Xiao Chen had chosen the ancient city ruins.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a ray of light streaked across the sky and shot toward the valley. When the light dissipated, a figure appeared.
"Patriarch, the Evil Qi in the gap of the cliff has dissipated. We can set off now."
In the valley, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe had already packed up. The three elders of the tribe followed closely behind Xiao Chen. More than ten Blood Refining Realm warriors had already dispersed into the tribe.
This time, it was still Ding Shan who led the 1,000 combat masters to open the path in front. The rest of the soldiers protected the old, weak, women, and children in the middle. Que Yueming appeared on Ding Shan's bronze chariot. He had to lead the way for the Gu Yuan Tribe.
The destination of the Gu Yuan Tribe was the stone stronghold of Que Yueming's scattered tribe. The entire tribe would temporarily stay there until they attacked the Thousand Demon Mountain Range and drove the Demon Clan out. After that, they would move to the ancient human land to expand their territory and establish a new tribe.
