At the outskirts of the Central Region of the Fallen Dragon Territory.
The sun shone brightly. More than two hundred thousand combat masters were gathered in a camp that stretched for dozens of li.
Ancient trees that were so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around them were dragged out from the depths of the forest and turned into various defensive stakes outside the camp. In just two days, the forest within a hundred li was in a complete mess, as if a ferocious beast had passed through. Ferocious beasts lay dormant, and ancient trees were all cut down.
Outside the camp, more than a hundred ancient trees that were twenty zhang tall stood tall. These ancient trees were stained with blood, and there were signs of being hacked by sabers and axes. Hanging on each ancient tree were different numbers of human combat masters. These combat masters had weak auras, and there were whip marks on their bodies. Some of them had even lost their vitality.
At this moment, a commotion broke out in the camp once more. The gates of the camp opened, and nearly a hundred people rushed out. Every combat master was wearing a Fire Rhino Armor. Not only that, more than half of these combat masters were Tempered Bone Realm Consummation cultivators.
Witnessing the scene before them, many of the soldiers from the combat divisions could not help but have their expressions change abruptly. They retreated a few steps in defeat. Those who wore fiery red armor were the most elite combat masters from the middle-grade Ancient Origin combat divisions. Their combat strength was extremely strong, and those who could become centurions were all extremely powerful centurions who could fight against a hundred enemies alone. Almost all of them had the strength to advance to the Blood Refining Realm.
"Greetings, Centurion!"
The surrounding people bowed respectfully. Although they didn't know the name of this Gu Yuan Tribe martial artist, it didn't stop these ordinary combat masters from admiring and revering the martial artist before them!
At this moment, the crowd noticed that among the hundred combat masters, there were several combat masters with weak auras. They couldn't help but wonder which tribe's combat masters were so unlucky as to be captured by the combat masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
More than two hundred thousand combat masters had gathered together, and most of them were brawny men from the wilderness. Not to mention, it was the innate nature of a cultivator to compete with others, so it wasn't uncommon for them to come to blows over the slightest disagreement. As such, Xiao Chen had ordered the most elite combat masters under his command to form a patrol team to patrol the entire camp. Anyone who tried to stir up trouble, regardless of the reason, would be captured and hung on an ancient tree outside the camp. As for whether they would be able to survive the ordeal, that would depend on their luck!
"This centurion will say it one more time. Anyone who incites trouble will be severely punished. If it's serious, they will be killed!"
The centurion didn't appreciate the crowd's compliments at all as he coldly snorted.
The Battle Soldiers behind him tied up a few Battle Soldiers from an unknown tribe and hung them on an ancient tree. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these Battle Soldiers were all severely injured. If they didn't receive treatment in time, their lives would be in danger. Now, they were hung in the air.
Death was not frightening, but the torment before death was extremely frightening!
It was as if he wanted to torture these troublemaking soldiers to death. This kind of deterrence was enough to make people tremble in fear!
In the central tent of the camp.
At this moment, all the leaders of the human combat divisions that had been subdued by the Ancient Yuan Combat Divisions were gathered in the tent. There were close to four hundred of them, and all of them were Blood Refining Realm warriors.
Of course, this did not include all the Blood Refining Realm warriors in the entire camp. Those who were qualified to enter the tent were all at least at the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. There were also the leaders and elders of the various combat divisions. As for the weaker combat division leaders who couldn't gather a thousand Battle Masters, they weren't qualified to enter the tent at all.
"Silence!"
A loud shout came from the tent, and all the noise stopped abruptly. In an instant, everyone was jolted awake and looked at the several figures who had entered the tent from the back. The first person was dressed in green armor and exuded a dignified aura.
It was the newly promoted middle-grade Ancient Yuan Combat Division, Clan Leader Xiao!
"Greetings, Shang Clan Leader!"
Everyone hurriedly got up to pay their respects. For many of the human combat divisions, what they had heard the most over the past few days was about Xiao Chen. It had only been a few years since he had become the clan leader, but he had forcefully developed a tribe that was weaker than theirs to such an extent.
Now, a single word from him was enough to determine the life and death of these tribes. With just a word, thousands of people would shed their blood for him. This was the great power that the Ancient Yuan Tribe had gathered under the leadership of Clan Leader Xiao!
Xiao Chen strode to the center of the tent. After he was seated, he nodded at the crowd and gestured for them to sit down.
Although Xiao Chen didn't release any aura, in just a short moment, the members of the human combat divisions felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them. Everyone seemed to have exhausted all their strength.
"Clan Leaders!"
After glancing around, Xiao Chen finally opened his mouth.
"Everyone, I believe you already know that the Ancient Yuan Combat Division values military achievements and rewards those who have made contributions. This time, you have gathered your troops here to encircle Ao Mountain and the other tribes. I, Gu Yuan, will reward you according to your contributions!"
Without saying much, Xiao Chen understood that the strength of hundreds of different human combat divisions gathered together was something that even the Ancient Yuan Tribe had to attach great importance to.
In order for them to follow the orders of the Ancient Yuan Tribe unswervingly, besides the deterrence of the Ancient Yuan Combat Division's current strength, the only other factor was benefits. This was an unchanging principle in any space-time.
"Everyone, as for how much you will be rewarded, it will depend on the results of the combat masters under your command!"
"Clan Leader, is this true?
We will also be able to obtain the martial arts pills that can allow a Bone Tempering Realm warrior to advance to the Blood Refining Realm! "
Finally, a clan leader stood up from the crowd, looked at Xiao Chen, and said hesitantly.
At this moment, the news regarding the Phoenix Creek Division had already spread throughout the entire headquarters. Due to the chief of the Phoenix Creek Division being bestowed with a Martial Pill for the construction of the Combat Master Barracks, a young Hundred Men Commander of the Phoenix Creek Division was able to advance to Blood Refinement realm several years earlier than expected.
"That's right!"
Everyone was extremely excited. Although some of them were forced by the Ancient Yuan Combat Division's prestige and had no choice but to mobilize their troops, it was still worth fighting for. As long as they could obtain two or three such martial arts pills, it would be enough to ensure the survival of their tribes for a hundred years. It was worth it.
"With the heads of Ao Mountain and the other Blood Refining Realm warriors, you can exchange them for martial arts pills at the Ancient Yuan Tribe after the war!"
"Early Blood Refining Realm warriors can exchange for one martial arts pill!"
"Mid Blood Refining Realm warriors can exchange for two martial arts pills!"
"Late Blood Refining Realm warriors can exchange for three martial arts pills!"
"Peak Blood Refining Realm warriors can exchange for five martial arts pills!"
"Peak Blood Refining Realm warriors can exchange for seven martial arts pills!"
"As for the heads of the clan leaders, they can exchange for ten martial arts pills!"
"Also!"
At this point, Xiao Chen paused, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he continued, "For every one thousand warriors of Ao Mountain and the other Blood Refining Realm warriors you kill, you can also exchange for one martial arts pill!"
Such a reward from Xiao Chen could not be said to be light, it immediately caused many clan leaders in the tent to exclaim. Ten martial arts pills were enough for a tribe to produce ten Blood Refining Realm warriors!
Perhaps the strength of these clans was not a match for Ao Mountain and the other Blood Refining Realm warriors, but many ants could bite an elephant to death. Many of the clans could cooperate with each other. At this moment, there were many clan leaders in the crowd who knew each other, they looked at each other and made up their minds.
However, some of the weaker combat divisions set their sights on Xiao Chen's last sentence. Killing Blood Refining Realm warriors was a little difficult for them, but killing ordinary warriors was a little easier, it was just that there were more of them.
Not long after, Xiao Chen ordered the clan leaders to disperse and return to their respective camps to organize their subordinates. However, the surging emotions in their hearts could not be calmed for a long time. When they left the tent, they had already gathered in groups of twos and threes, calling their friends to discuss how to kill the warriors of Ao Mountain and the other Blood Refining Realm warriors to exchange for martial arts pills.
Gu Yuan and the others saw all this, they looked at each other and smiled. Using benefits to drive the vassal combat divisions away. After all, although Gu Yuan Tribe had advanced to the level of a Middle Rank Combat Division, the strength of the tribe had not stabilized yet. It was better to reduce the losses of the tribe's strength as much as possible.
After waiting for the people outside to disperse, Xiao Chen said, "Huang Liang, what's the movement in the central area of the territory!"
"Reporting to clan leader, there are currently 25 combat divisions in the central area of the Fallen Dragon Territory. These combat divisions can be said to be loyal to Ao Mountain Combat Division. They also understand that what their own tribes have done in the past will not end well if they encounter us, Gu Yuan Tribe. Therefore, they have moved to the vicinity of Ao Mountain Combat Division, preparing to fight us to the death together with Ao Mountain Combat Division."
"According to the investigation of the Green Feather Soldiers in the tribe, these tribes have already mobilized all of their forces, conscripting the old and the weak as warriors. According to the estimation, the number of warriors is about the same as the number of warriors that I, Gu Yuan, have recruited. However, their strength is somewhat uneven!"
"It seems that Ao Mountain Combat Division is going to use all of its trump cards to fight us to the death!" Hearing this, Xue Sha, who was listening by the side, said.
However, Xiao Chen did not care and said in a deep voice, "That's good too. A battle to decide the outcome will also allow me, Gu Yuan, to quickly control the Fallen Dragon Territory and shift my attention to the development of the tribe!"
"In that case, three days later, we will enter the central area of the territory and destroy Ao Mountain Combat Division!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison!
At the foot of Hundred Flowers Mountain.
Hundreds of flowers were swallowing their fragrance. The entire Plucking Flower Tribe was surrounded by a sea of flowers. Young girls carried bamboo baskets and danced in the sea of flowers like butterflies.
Shi Ya followed behind Xiao Chen. However, their arrival was not welcomed by the Plucking Flower Tribe. Those young girls who were interested in Xiao Chen two days ago were now glaring angrily at Xiao Chen. They clenched their fists tightly, wishing that they could ruthlessly hammer him a few times.
This caused Shi Ya, who was behind them, to feel a little confused. He could not help but glance at Xiao Chen in front of him. In his heart, he continuously guessed whether his clan leader had done something that angered the Plucking Flower Tribe.
It was still the pavilion on the lake. However, today, there was no good wine. Not even a figure could be seen. Just like that, Xiao Chen and Shi Ya were left to dry.
