After Xiao Chen stabilized Gu Lin's body, he turned around and shouted, "Everyone here is the cornerstone of my Gu Yuan Tribe. Could it be that some trifling difficulties are enough to scare you all into saying that you will die for the tribe? If you die, what will happen to your wives and children? What will happen to the eight hundred years of my Gu Yuan Tribe's inheritance?" "Everyone here is the cornerstone of my Gu Yuan Tribe.
Although he knew that these warriors below him had no selfish motives and were all unyielding warriors, Xiao Chen did not hold back. He wanted to let these tribesmen know that as the cornerstone of the tribe, they could not be like boorish men who only did things to their heart's content.
Seeing Xiao Chen's calm expression change in the blink of an eye, all the warriors were as cold as cicadas in the winter. They did not know why their tribe leader's temperament had changed so much. There was an ancient saying, "When one is in a position, one's body will change." Ever since Xiao Chen became the tribe leader, as his martial arts realm continued to increase, the aura he emitted became more and more intense. The invisible pressure made everyone feel like they were facing a volcano that was about to erupt.
"Ten days later, I have my own arrangements. Everyone just needs to settle the affairs of the tribe in this period of time. Do not cause any more trouble."
"Tribe leader!"
"Lord tribe leader!
Ten days later, Shi Chuan is willing to be your vanguard and fight on the frontline! "At this moment, centurion Shi Chuan stood up and shouted at Xiao Chen.
"We are willing to follow the tribe leader to hunt the Black Cloud Mountain. We are willing to die ten thousand times!"
Perhaps they were influenced by Shi Chuan, all the centurions stood up at the same time. Even the severely injured Ding Shan did not fall behind. They all came to the center of the hall and knelt on one knee. They cupped their fists and asked Xiao Chen for orders. Their loud voices echoed in the hall. Even the ordinary tribesmen in the city looked at the top of the stone tower.
"Centurions, please rise."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at the brave warriors of his race kneeling on one knee below. A warm feeling flowed in his heart. He paused for a moment and suppressed the emotions in his heart. Then, he said, "Ten days from now, I will make my own arrangements. At that time, I, Gu Yuan, will definitely show my might to the other races."
"Great Elder, although I have received your message, there are still some things I do not understand. What is the current situation of our tribe?"
"Reporting to tribe leader, according to the information collected by the tribe, the discovery of the Yuan Stone Vein in the Black Mountain region was only a fuse. Even without the Yuan Stone Vein, the Black Snake tribe and the Kuishui tribe would find other reasons to cause trouble for our Gu Yuan Tribe."
Hearing Tie Wen's words, Xiao Chen could not help but frown. After a while, he understood the reason. After a moment, he understood the reason. After all, it, it, the tribe, the tribe, and the tribe, the tribe, the tribe, the tribe, the tribe, the Gu tribe, the Yuan tribe, Clan, the Chen, the Gu, the tribe, the Yuan tribe, and Black tribe, the tribe, the tribe, the tribe, and the tribe, the tribe, and the tribe, the tribe, the tribe, they tribe, of the tribe, of tribe, of tribe.
Although all of this was just the Gu Yuan Tribe's counterattack, the other tribes did not necessarily think that way. What they saw was the Gu Yuan Tribe expanding 2,000 miles of land, which would greatly increase the tribe's strength.
There was no room for two tigers on one mountain. The Gu Yuan tribe, led by Xiao Chen, suddenly rose. There were only so many resources in this area. If the Gu Yuan tribe obtained more resources, the benefits of the Black Snake and Kuishui tribes would correspondingly decrease. Instead of the Gu Yuan tribe growing stronger in the future, it was better to strike first.
"Great Elder, how many people in the tribe were taken away?"
"A total of 800 people were taken away by the Black Snake and Kuishui tribes. However, most of them were people from scattered tribes that had just joined us. There were more than 600 of them, and only about 200 of them were old members of the Gu Yuan Tribe. At the same time, when the allied forces of the two tribes besieged the Gu Yuan tribe, they also took away the scattered humans who had not officially passed the test outside the city. There were about 3,000 of them. If I'm not wrong, these thousands of people should have already been sent to the Yuan Stone Mine to dig for Yuan Stones," Elder Tie Wen said in a deep voice.
"The sudden attack by the Black Snake and Kuishui tribes has destroyed our tribe's expansion plan. It's really despicable. The scattered tribes outside the city originally sought refuge with the Gu Yuan tribe, seeking our tribe's protection. If nothing goes wrong, they will be absorbed into the tribe and become members of our tribe," Elder Xiao Qin, who was in charge of the tribe's internal affairs, said unwillingly.
As a member of Xiao Chen's tribe, Xiao Qin did not disappoint Xiao Chen. He was even more loyal to Xiao Chen's arrangements and completed them without a single mistake. He firmly controlled the various affairs of the tribe for Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen could be said to have chosen the right person.
"What's even more despicable is that these days, the Black Snake and Kuishui tribes have sealed off the area within a hundred miles of the Gu Yuan tribe. All the tribesmen who went out to hunt have been captured by them. At the same time, the warriors of these two tribes have come to harass our tribe every day, making it impossible for the tribe to have peace. Due to the drastic increase in the tribe's population, the amount of food we need every day has increased dramatically. The food within a hundred miles cannot satisfy the tribe's consumption at all. The food stored in the tribe can only last for three days at most, and this is the result of this old man's careful calculations."
Food was the most important thing to the people. After all, it was related to the stability of the entire tribe. However, since Xiao Chen had returned, the crisis of food shortage would not be allowed to happen.
Through the reports of the tribe elders and centurions, Xiao Chen had a deeper understanding of the tribe's changes over the past two months. In general, although the tribe was besieged by other tribes, the tribe's strength had increased significantly over the past two months. Just the population alone had almost doubled. Of course, the loyalty of these new tribesmen had yet to be determined. At the same time, there were good and bad people mixed together, and it would take time for them to truly integrate into the Gu Yuan tribe.
"While the tribe leader was away, you handed over the tribe's affairs to this old man. However, in the past two months, more than eight hundred newly affiliated tribesmen have defected and escaped from the Gu Yuan tribe. Please punish them, tribe leader." Tie Wen cupped his fists and apologized to Xiao Chen.
"Lord tribe leader, the Great Elder is very busy every day. How could he take care of the tribe's people? The defection of those newly affiliated tribesmen was due to Ding Shan, the commander of the soldiers, who did not handle the matter properly. He allowed them to escape, and it had nothing to do with the Great Elder. Please punish Ding Shan severely for failing to protect the tribe!" Ding Shan defended himself when he saw Tie Wen pleading guilty.
It was not only Ding Shan who stepped forward to plead guilty. Even the centurions on the other side had hesitant expressions. They wanted to step forward to plead for Tie Wen and Xiao Chen, but due to Xiao Chen's might, they could not advance or retreat.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Chen stood up and walked out of the hall. When he arrived at the corridor outside the stone tower, he could see the entire Gu Yuan tribe in a panoramic view. Compared to when Xiao Chen had left, the Gu Yuan tribe had grown larger. Three miles of land had been expanded in both the east and west directions for the new tribesmen to live in.
The sun was setting. Other than some patrolling soldiers, there were only some children playing on the streets. Smoke rose into the sky, and the tribe became very quiet and peaceful at this moment.
Looking down, Xiao Chen pointed at the tribe below and shouted, "The Great Elder has made great contributions. What crime has he committed?"
