"This is the law of survival in the Wasteland. If you are weak, you will be beaten. If you are weak, you will have to bend your knees. You will be oppressed and even killed by other tribes!"
Xiao Chen's tone was calm, there was no hint of other emotions in it. However, every tribe leader in the hall felt an intense pressure. Everyone lowered their heads in deep thought. The joy they felt from the explosive increase in the tribe's strength had faded away.
After all, all the cultivators in the great hall had personally experienced everything that Xiao Chen had said. Just the Medial Grade Iron Horseshoe Battalion's Battle Envoy had failed to snatch the mutated beast, the Heavenly Horse. Then, he had concocted the vicious plan of the Gu Yuan Tribe colluding with the foreign races. He wanted to gather the many human battalions in Huge Rock Valley and completely destroy the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Although his Gu Yuan Tribe had foiled Battle Envoy Tie Mo's plot and even left the middle-ranked Iron Horseshoe Tribe, they were still forced to migrate hundreds of thousands of people to the Great Desolate Land and come to the Fallen Dragon Territory to hide.
As for the messenger who had framed his tribe, he was still free and unfettered outside. All of this was just because his tribe was weak. The Iron Hoof War Division had suppressed the Giant Rock Valley for thousands of years. They had thoroughly demonstrated the survival rules of the Wasteland.
"This time, the Gu Yuan Tribe intends to establish a Luck Tribe. This news has been made known to all the human combat divisions in the Fallen Dragon Territory. It can be said that we are on the same level as the human combat divisions. In one day, the Gu Yuan Tribe will offer sacrifices to the heavens. This is an opportunity for the Gu Yuan Tribe, but it is also a disaster. If we destroy this disaster, the Gu Yuan Tribe will be like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate and returning to the sea. The Fallen Dragon Territory will be a hunting ground for the children of our tribe.
If you can't get through this … "His voice stopped abruptly, but everyone understood what Xiao Chen had not said. He was saying that the Gu Yuan Tribe would be reborn from the fire. From then on, the Gu Yuan Tribe would be free to hunt and gather in the Wasteland, or they would be completely defeated. The Gu Yuan Tribe would no longer exist in this world.
"Great Elder!"
"Yes, Elder." Tie Wen, who was sitting on the left side of the hall, stood up and responded when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
"Have there been any abnormalities in the tribe's territory these days?"
"Reporting to Lord Patriarch, the situation has been the same these days. There have been warriors from other Human Tribes who have come to investigate within the tribe's territory. However, their goal has changed from plundering the resources in the Desolate Mountain Forest to investigating the situation of our Gu Yuan Tribe. Some of the warriors have even approached our tribe's city to investigate, but they have been captured or killed by our tribesmen!"
Xiao Chen nodded inconspicuously. He did not even need to think to know what these scouts from the other tribes were up to. Over the past ten days, the number of cultivators from other tribes who had been hunted down and killed by the tribe's soldiers numbered in the hundreds. There were even close to fifty Blood Refining Realm cultivators. Among them, the strongest cultivator had already stepped into the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm. However, he still died under the sabers of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Xiao Chen did not have the slightest bit of mercy for these warriors. He had captured the warriors from the three other tribes because the tribe needed to build a city and lacked manpower. These warriors who cultivated the martial path were all good laborers.
Furthermore, there were close to three thousand soldiers. Most of them were ordinary tribesmen. Xiao Chen felt that it was beneath him to slaughter them all. Furthermore, it was not a bad idea to stay in the tribe and do some work like building a city.
"All the scouts in the tribe have been sent out. The Ancient Desolate Mountain occupies two-thirds of the territory of our Gu Yuan Tribe. These places are full of secret places and valleys, which are the best places to hide. We must prevent anyone from hiding in these places and causing trouble."
"There are five teams of Green Feather Eagle warriors in the tribe. Each team is led by two Blood Refinement Realm chiliarchs. They have been sent out to patrol the thousands of miles of the tribe's territory. They have the right to kill all suspicious people first and report to the tribe later!"
"Also, the two two-star vicious beasts of the clan, the Snow Wolves, have entered the depths of the Ancient Wasteland Forest again after breaking through last night to gather their own kind. There are many wolf-type vicious beasts in the Ancient Wasteland Forest. With the cooperation of these large numbers of wolves, it will not be easy for the human battalions to hide in the depths of the forest without being discovered."
The two Snow Wolves were already Upper Rank Two-Star Vicious Beasts, and there had not been a single trace of a Three-star Vicious Beast in the wilderness thousands of miles away from the tribe for thousands of years. It could be said that these two Snow Wolves were enough to run amok in the entire forest.
With these two fierce beasts that could rival the peak of the Blood Refinement Realm, it would be extremely difficult for even some powerful warriors to hide in the forest.
Xiao Chen gestured for the First Elder to return to his stone chair. Then, he forgot about the ten commanders on the other side and said again, "This time, we are gathering Luck for the Luck Forging Race. The tribe's safety is of utmost importance. My Gu Yuan Tribe's ten-thousand-man combat masters, make your preparations!"
"To protect the tribe's bloodline, we, the Guardian Warriors, are always ready. Even if we are burned to ashes and our blood splatters in the wilderness, we will have no regrets!"
The ten chiliarchs immediately stood up and shouted. As the chiliarchs who held true power in the tribe, they led tens of thousands of Guardian Warriors. Xiao Chen had spent a lot of resources on these ten people. At the moment, each of them was at least in the late Blood Refinement Realm and had opened at least seven Heavenly Veins.
The amount of resources needed to open Heavenly Veins became greater the further one went. One could imagine the terrifying amount of resources needed to raise these people's cultivation to their current level.
The ten thousand-man Battle Masters had always been led by Ding Shan. He had been recruited by Xiao Chen from his position as a centurion of the Combat Troops. From the very beginning, he had fought in the Black Mountain Division to his current peak late Blood Refinement Realm cultivation. Now, he was the strongest Guardian Warrior in the tribe. This man from the wilderness had always remembered Xiao Chen's kindness. He had always been there for him.
Looking at the ten chiliarchs who were shouting in unison, the newly advanced Blood Refinement Realm cultivators sitting at the back couldn't help but feel envious. Not to mention the difference in cultivation, just the fact that Ding Shan was able to lead thousands of soldiers and become a peerless warrior was enough to make them extremely envious.
"Reporting to Lord Tribe Chief, all of our Combat Troops are ready. Those who openly offend our Gu Yuan Tribe will be killed no matter how far they are!"
As the leader of the ten Demonic Soldiers, Ding Shan looked at the few people below him. They were all Demonic Soldiers, cultivators with true authority. These people treated him as their leader. Hence, Xiao Chen's questions were answered by him.
"This subordinate, the chiliarchs, and the elders have privately come up with a plan to protect the tribe. However, we still need Lord Tribe Chief to make a decision!"
