Chapter 125: Conquering the Monkey Tribe (Part I)

The Monkey Tribe is a large tribe living near a water source, and there is a small river at least eight meters wide more than 100 meters to the south, and a large river more than 50 meters wide two or three kilometers to the east of the Monkey Tribe.

The population of the Monkey Tribe is quite large, with more than 240 people, and the population of the Monkey Tribe has not developed much for more than ten years due to the problem of food.

Although they live close to water sources, the Monkey tribe does not catch fish swimming in the river for food, but instead feeds them by hunting and gathering wild vegetables to dig up the roots and stems of plants.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the leader of the monkey tribe led the hunting party out hunting, and the other tribesmen were also busy, either going to the river to fetch water, or going to the nearby jungle in groups of four or five to dig the roots of plants, and some tribesmen were guarding the surroundings with weapons.

Life in the monkey tribe is no different than usual, but a crisis arises unexpectedly.

In the jungle three thousand meters west of the Monkey Tribe's residence, the huge relocation team of the Dragon Tribe had just had breakfast, and Su Yan summoned the five patriarchs of Zhi, Biao, Yuan, Shen, and Song to make the final arrangements.

"I also have Zhi, Biao, and Song, leading a hundred male clansmen and fifty female clansmen to go on the expedition, and Yuan He is cautious to stay behind."

"No."

After receiving the order, Biao was the happiest of the five, the dragon tribe went out many times, and Biao was arranged to stay in the tribe, and this time he finally didn't have to stay behind.

Separately gathered the teams that went out and stayed behind, Su Yan made arrangements respectively, and the team left behind was to protect the pregnant female tribe and the underage tribe in the Dragon Tribe, and Su Yan also made the final tactical arrangements for the team that went out.

"Let's go!"

With Su Yan's order, the dragon tribe expedition team set out again, and the clansmen in the temporary camp behind them silently prayed to the dragon god, hoping that the dragon god would bless the trip well.

The distance of more than 3,000 meters is not far, and the exploration team has walked this road many times and is already familiar with it, and the expedition team is advancing rapidly.

Su Yan formulated two battle plans for this expedition, which were to deal with the two situations of the hunting team of the target tribe in the tribe and those not in the tribe.

If the hunting party is in the tribe, the expeditionary team can only attack, first throw a short spear to consume the enemy's living strength, and then fight in close combat with a spear and a vine shield to destroy all enemies who dare to resist.

If the hunting party is not in the tribe, the other way is to capture the women and children of the target as much as possible, take them hostage, and finally force the others to surrender.

Soon, the expedition team was close to a kilometer away from the place where the target tribe lived, and no trace of the target tribe was found.

"Wisdom, you take half of the men to go around first."

"No."

The expedition team was divided into two, Zhi set off first with fifty male clansmen and twenty-five women, Su Yan, Biao, and Song took the rest of the people to hide in the jungle temporarily, and when Zhi's team went around to the other side of the target tribe's residence, Su Yan took the rest of the people to the target tribe.

There is no clock to time, you can only rely on your own feelings, about an hour, Su Yan's team set off again, towards the target tribe's residence, as the team gets closer to the target tribe's residence, the more likely it is to be discovered, the team did not do anything to hide, Su Yan only asked them to be ready for battle, ready to fight at any time.

After walking a distance of more than three hundred meters, Su Yan's team met for the first time with the people of the target tribe, which was a group of four adult women who excavated plant rhizomes from the monkey tribe, and they saw a strange team appear in the distance, they shouted and ran behind them, and even threw down the plant rhizomes they had picked before.

The shouts were like "there is an enemy" or "the enemy is coming."

Su Yan did not order the team to pursue them, and still unhurriedly advanced towards the target tribe's residence, letting those women go just so that they could gather the clansmen, even if the hunting team of the target tribe was still in the tribe, the expedition team also had an overwhelming advantage, and finally could wipe them out, instead of the enemy wandering around.

"There are enemies! The enemy is coming! All the monkey tribesmen who heard the roar gathered towards their place of residence, and when Su Yan and his team were still more than a hundred meters away from the target tribe's place of residence, a team of more than 80 people, mainly adult women, came out of the target tribe.

"It seems that the hunting party of the target tribe is not in the tribe." A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yan's mouth, the hunting team of the target tribe was not there, and it was easier to conquer the target tribe.

The two teams faced each other at a distance of nearly ten meters, one side was armed with various weapons such as stone spears, stone axes, wooden sticks, and stones, and the other side was more standardized, with the people in the front row holding a rattan shield and a spear in the other, and the people behind them holding a short spear in their hands, ready to throw a short spear at any time.

"You leave, this is our territory." The adult clansmen who led the other side shouted while gesturing with gestures, although the language was different, but the gesture was a lingua franca, and the general meaning could still be understood.

Su Yan's team had no one to pay attention to the people opposite, silently holding weapons in place, Su Yan waited, waiting for Zhi's team to rush into the target tribe's residence, capture the minors of the target tribe, and then join forces with Su Yan's team to surround the enemy in front of them.

The person at the head of the Monkey Tribe team has the intention of using force to drive away the strange team in front of him, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, although there are about ten more people in the Monkey Tribe, but the adult women in the team of the Monkey Tribe are the main force, and less than ten are adult men, and some of the adult women are pregnant, and the combat power has been reduced a lot, he has no confidence in driving this strange team by force, and can only expect the other party to take the initiative to retreat.

Just as Su Yan's team and the Monkey Tribe's team confronted each other, Zhi's team walked out of the jungle and rushed into the target tribe's residence.

The Monkey tribe did not dig caves to live, but relied on large trees to build houses out of wood, stones, and plant leaves, and there were more than 20 such houses in the Monkey tribe's settlement.

There were quite a few people left in the Monkey Tribe's residence, more than a hundred people, but most of them were minors, less than ten adults, including Monkey Witch and Monkey Witch disciples who did not have much combat power, and they gathered in a few houses in the middle of the Monkey Tribe's residence, waiting for the tribe to drive away the outsiders.

They seem to have gotten used to it, with the younger children still playing, and the adults and older children holding weapons to guard or watch over the younger ones.
