A layer of ice has formed on the river, and the fishing activities of the dragon tribe have officially ended, before this, the dragon tribe has caught enough fish reserves, plus the fruits picked before and the daily pickled fish and animal meat, the food stored in the dragon tribe may not be able to be consumed at the end of the first month of spring.

This year's winter was a little earlier than last year's, and a little colder than last year, but it was not yet up to the standards of a cold winter, and when the snow covered the entire land, almost all the people of the Dragon Tribe hid in their houses, except for the few clansmen who were routinely on guard outside.

Eat, sleep, do a little indoor activity, only go outdoors when the weather is a little better to move the body, of course, do not forget to feed the animals in captivity every day, the outer wall is not fully completed, in order to prevent the beasts from destroying the animal pen to eat the animals in captivity, the animal pen has been reinforced in advance.

Winter passed day by day, and there was no trace of the enemy except for the beasts that roamed outside the dragon tribe's habitat every day.

In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, and the time had entered the spring of one or three years.

On the third day of early spring, the dragon tribe holds a grand sacrifice, one is to worship the dragon god, the second is to celebrate the deer clan to join the dragon tribe, and the third is the coming-of-age ceremony of nine teenagers and ten young girls, after the sacrifice is over, they will officially become adults, and can join the fishing team, hunting team and even the exploration team in the future.

After breakfast the day after the end of the sacrifice, Su Yan summoned the witch and patriarch of the three major clans of the dragon tribe snake, tiger and deer in the cave, and Su Yan told them that the war was coming again, and this time the dragon tribe wanted to conquer the mountain tribe and the rabbit tribe!

Hearing the king's words, the snake witch, the tiger witch, the wise and the biao did not react much, they put their left hands on their chests and bowed slightly to the king to show their obedience to the king's orders, such a thing happened once last year, and when this kind of thing happened again, they were able to accept it calmly.

However, the two of them were more surprised, but after seeing the four people next to them saluting, the deer witch and Yuan also saluted, after all, this was the king's order, they could not object, they could only obey or make a little suggestion to the king, and the other four people had already saluted to show their compliance, and the deer witch and Yuan could not leave the group.

After that, Su Yan promulgated the war plan, ten days of war preparation time, ten days later, depending on the weather conditions, choose the best time to march into the mountain tribe, the rabbit tribe and the mountain tribe of the two tribes Zhongshan tribe is the weakest, first take down the mountain tribe, and then rest for five to ten days to march into the rabbit tribe after moving the mountain tribe to the dragon tribe residence.

To annex two tribes in a row is a lot of pressure on the Dragon Tribe, but this pressure is less than the pressure of annexing the Deer Tribe last year.

In the spring of last year, the total population of the Dragon Tribe was only more than 350 people, and the pressure of swallowing up the Deer Tribe of nearly 140 people can be imagined.

In nine months, the Deer Clan had been completely integrated into the Dragon Clan, and there was no other difference between the clansmen except for the clans.

Even if the combined population of the Rabbit Tribe and the Mountain Tribe is larger than the original Deer Tribe, but now that the total population of the Dragon Tribe has exceeded 550 people, the pressure on the Dragon Tribe to annex the Rabbit Tribe and the Mountain Tribe this year is smaller than last year's annexation of the Deer Tribe.

The strength of the rabbit tribe and the mountain tribe is weaker than the deer tribe, and the number of the expedition team does not need to be more than when the deer tribe was conquered, and finally Zhi, Biao, and Yuan selected a total of forty male tribesmen and thirty female tribesmen, and like the last time, the male tribesmen are the main force of battle, and the female tribesmen are auxiliary, mainly responsible for carrying weapons and food.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the spring of the first year, Su Yan, Zhi, and Yuan set off with the expedition team, and the Biao who was left behind could only sulk in the tribe.

Su Yan still used the words of the last time to comfort Biao, he will definitely bring Biao when he really starts a war in the future, and now the main purpose of conquering the mountain tribe and the rabbit tribe is to force the other party to surrender with strength, and the possibility of a real war breaking out is very small.

Two days later, the expedition team and the people of the mountain tribe came back safely, the process of conquering the mountain tribe by the expedition team was extremely smooth, in the face of the strong strength of the expedition team, the mountain tribe could only surrender to Su Yan, and everyone in the mountain tribe came to the dragon tribe one by one, and the mountain witch did not seek death like the deer witch.

There is no way to surrender, the dragon tribe expedition team plus Su Yan, Zhi, and Yuan reached seventy-three people, while the mountain tribe, there are eleven adult men, twenty-five adult women, and thirty-three minors, plus mountain witches, mountain witch disciples, and leaders, a total of seventy-two people, one less than the expedition team.

In recent years, the total population of the mountain tribes has not only not increased, but has decreased by several people, which is the sadness of the small tribes.

The difference in strength between the two sides was immediately apparent, if they did not surrender, the mountain tribe would only be conquered by the dragon tribe by force, some of the clansmen would be killed, and the rest of the clansmen would become slaves, although the mountain witch and the leader of the mountain tribe were a little reluctant, but in order to survive, they could only surrender to Su Yan and let the mountain tribe join the dragon tribe as a mountain clan.

The expedition team rested for five days and set off again, and under Su Yan's order, the patriarch of the Shan clan and his five adult males also joined the expedition team, bringing the total number of expeditionary members to seventy-nine.

Three days later, the expedition team and the people of the rabbit tribe returned safely, this time the expedition team conquered the rabbit tribe was not completely smooth, during which the expedition team and the rabbit tribe broke out two skirmishes, the expedition team had two people injured, the rabbit tribe also had four or five people injured, fortunately the injuries were not serious, will not cause physical disabilities.

The population of the rabbit tribe is only a little more than that of the mountain tribe, there are fifteen adult males, thirty-one adult females, forty-five minors, and one is sick, plus the rabbit witch, the rabbit witch disciples, and the leader of the three, the total population of the rabbit tribe is a total of ninety-five people, and in the past few years, the population of the rabbit tribe has not grown, and it is almost standing still.

Both the mountain tribe and the rabbit tribe were forced to surrender to Su Yan in the face of the strong strength of the expedition team, which made the dragon tribe have a trace of worry, but there is a precedent for the dragon tribe to annex the deer tribe, and in less than a year, the mountain tribe and the rabbit tribe can be completely integrated into the dragon tribe, which is the confidence brought by the strong strength.

Having just moved to the Dragon Tribe's residence, the people of the Mountain Clan and the Rabbit Clan are curious about everything about the Dragon Tribe, their state is similar to that of the people of the Deer Clan at the beginning, and they feel the better life here in the Dragon Tribe, they quickly accept the life of the Dragon Tribe, and they have become active to integrate from the cautious at the beginning.
