A cool breeze from the mountains blew, bringing with it a bloody smell.

Lin Yuan rubbed his nose and looked back at the battlefield that had just been cleaned.

Under Blade's command, the bodies of the headhunters and captives were buried on the spot, and the traces of the battle were almost gone, except for the smell of fish wafting in the air.

In the battle just now, they killed a total of 17 heavily armed headhunters, and the losses on Lin Yuan's side were not small, in the melee, 23 prisoners were killed, and more than a dozen wounded.

However, there were more survivors, thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a lot more comfortable, after all, these people did not sacrifice in vain.

He looked at the black oppression of primitive people in front of him, there were about 300 people, and most of them sat silently in place, bowing their heads and silently.

It's no wonder that after being a captive for so long, I thought I was going to die, but suddenly gained freedom, and everyone will need to adapt for a while.

"Brother Lin......"

A crisp voice came from not far away, it was the little girl Qiao Jing.

I saw her running from a distance, and her two pigtails were like the ears of a little white rabbit, flicking around behind her.

Lin Yuan smiled with relief, after going through so much, this little girl has always maintained an optimistic and positive attitude, which is really commendable at her young age.

"What I gave you, done?" Lin Yuan stood up, waved his hand and asked.

Qiao Jing gasped, wiped the sweat on her head, and said:

"Whew...... Of course...... Ha ......, I've counted them, there are 341 survivors, not counting the captive called the bone slave. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said slowly, "Very good, very good......

He nodded to the little girl and motioned for her to rest for a while, and then he turned his gaze to Anna, who had been sitting on the edge of the cliff, and had been sitting there alone since the end of the war, without speaking.

But at this time, she also raised her head suddenly, and then, as if she had made a decision, she stood up and walked quickly towards Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked thoughtfully at the sunset on the horizon, waiting for Anna to come to his side and take the initiative to speak:

"Lin Yuan, I'...... Sorry, I was a little stupefied just now...... I just thought I was running for my life......"

"It's okay, being scared is the reaction of every normal person," Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Anna, a strong woman in a large company in the past, but at this time, she was in tears and stumbling.

Lin Yuan felt a little emotion in his heart, and he continued: "You don't have to blame yourself, how many of us who have crossed over from the era of peace have seen the real battlefield?" Not to mention that you're still a woman, and it's good that you've been able to hold on to this day, and you see, you're at least much better than those crying native......"

Lin Yuan pointed to the crowd in the distance, most of them women and children were huddled together, and occasionally one or two cries were heard.

Anna felt much better when Lin Yuan said this, she took advantage of Lin Yuan's inattention, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, groaned for a moment, and whispered:

"So, what are you going to do next? These captives ...... Except for the tribesmen before Zheng Jing, I don't know most of them, I'm afraid that there will be some barbarians in it, if there are ill intentions among them, and the three of us don't have any weapons, I'm afraid ......"

"Afraid of what? With Brother Lin Yuan here, Sister Anna, don't worry about it~" The naughty Qiao Jing slipped behind Anna at some point and said loudly.

Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly, this little girl, it's clear to be a sycophant.

Anna was unmoved, with a sad face, he bent down and whispered to Lin Yuan:

"You see, the group of captives in the far west, what they've been discussing, it seems, doesn't seem to be a good kind."

Lin Yuan followed Anna's hand and looked over, at the westernmost edge of the crowd, there were dozens of primitive people sitting tightly together, they were obviously different from the other captives, each with brightly colored feathers on their heads, and their skin was tanned.

Now this group of freed primitive people is forming a big circle, as if they are debating something fiercely.

Lin Yuan looked at it thoughtfully.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't react, Anna became more and more anxious: "Hey! Why don't you speak, those people seem to be coming from the other side of the mountain, maybe it's some kind of cannibal or something, what if there is a fight for a while? ”

Lin Yuan spread his hands and said to Anna with a smile:

"So what do you think we should do now?"

"You want me to say! Let's hurry up and call our own people now, hide first, those headhunters may come again, let's leave the mess here. ”

Lin Yuan raised his hand and motioned for Anna not to say anything yet, he cleared his throat, and just when he wanted to say something, suddenly, the captives on the side argued, the voices became louder and louder, and even let out a few screams.

Lin Yuan hurriedly grabbed a stone spear beside him and quickly approached the crowd with Anna.

I saw that the people who were sitting around casually on the ground were obviously divided into two groups at this time, one group was mostly adult men, and the other group was women and children, and both sides were arguing with each other at the moment, and the voices became more and more intense.

Lin Yuan stood aside and listened for a while, and then understood.

It turned out that these captives from all over the world had disagreements about where to stay next.

Most of the adult males of the past years ago advocated that they should immediately take advantage of the victory to chase after the headhunters' lair and save their own people.

The women with their babies in their arms mostly disagreed with attacking the headhunters, who had seen too much killing and sacrifice, had just escaped from the hands of death, and just wanted to find a safe place to hide.

What's more, there are also many family breaks, the husband and father want to kill the enemy, and the mother and wife try to persuade each other.

All of a sudden, everyone was in a mess......

"They need a leader......"

Lin Yuan silently thought in his heart, without a leader, this rabble would soon fall apart, and he had to do something.

"Peace--- quiet! An --- quiet!! ”

Lin Yuan used all his strength and shouted twice, and the echo reverberated back and forth between the valleys.

The struggle between the two factions suddenly stopped, and all the eyes of all the people were focused on Lin Yuan.

No matter how stupid the primitive man is, he knows in his heart that this fair-skinned young man in front of him is definitely not simple, and it is by relying on his miraculously transformed saw blade and calm and decisive counterattack command that everyone has achieved freedom, no matter how big the dispute is, for this person, they still maintain the necessary respect.

After everyone calmed down, Lin Yuan said loudly to everyone:

"Alive! More than anything else! We're so messy, how can we deal with headhunters next? ”

Primitives, you look at me, I look at you, silent.

"Revenge too! Save your life! There's nothing wrong with that, and there's no right or wrong! We are able to regain our freedom today, which is the result of our desperate efforts, and no matter what, we must cherish the opportunity in front of us! ”

"Uh-huh...... Woo woo...... "Many of the primitive people began to nod their heads in agreement.

Lin Yuan glanced at Qiao Jing and found that the latter was looking at him almost adoringly, so he couldn't help but smile, and then continued:

"After so much, our homeland and tribe have long been turned into ashes, our way back has long disappeared in the wind and rain, we can no longer go back, now, we can only insist on moving forward, and we must be united! Only in this way can we see the sun tomorrow and ensure that our children live! ”

"For the Horde!" A young primitive shouted a slogan.

Lin Yuan glanced at him, and then continued:

"For whose tribe?" The primitive man was startled, and took a step back in silence, Lin Yuan paused, and then said to the others: "For whose tribe?" There are no more tribes! The headhunters have destroyed everything, and now, standing by your side is your new family, no matter what you think, in this valley, the only people who don't want to kill you immediately are the people around you! There are only 300 of us. ”

The words are a little rough, but they are ......

Lin Yuan silently recited in his heart, he didn't write this sentence in advance, God knows what effect it will have on these primitive people.

After a while, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, because he saw that the primitive people in front of him looked at each other, and the opposing emotions gradually disappeared.

It's time to strike while the iron is hot.

Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said loudly:

"So! We should form a new tribe, a new family, our goals are the same, our hearts are together! Now, we also need a leader to bring everyone together......"

"A new chief?"

Suddenly, an eerie voice came from behind Lin Yuan, startling him.

He hurriedly turned around, and a swarthy face appeared in front of him, with a pointed chin, a hooked nose, and an exaggerated feather on his head.

Anna hurriedly pulled Lin Yuan back twice, and whispered:

"This is the tribe that was hiding on the sidelines just now, be careful!"

Lin Yuan snorted, he saw that the feathered man who was originally sitting in the distance had come here at some point, and dozens of people were gathered outside the crowd with expressionless faces.

Lin Yuan found that these people were all men, and there were no women.

"Chief~ or the chief, whatever you call it," Lin Yuan looked into the other party's eyes and said, "What I'm saying is that we people need to have someone to lead, otherwise ......"

The leader of the feathered people snorted coldly, interrupted Lin Yuan's words, forcefully picked away the people in front of him, squeezed into the center of the crowd, and said loudly to everyone: "Elect the chief!" Of course, it is necessary to choose a leader who can win the battle, and when it comes to killing, no one can compare to our southern Xinjiang Yuren. ”

After saying this, this feather leader glared at Lin Yuan viciously, and then continued:

"I am the last chief of the Feather Clan, the brave and fearless Xiang, I think that I should be your chieftain and lead you to kill those headhunters!"

The people around him began to whisper one after another, Lin Yuan frowned, he originally planned to use this speech, which he had been thinking about all afternoon, to control these primitive people once and for all, but he didn't expect to kill Cheng Cheng halfway to bite the gold......

"Anna, Qiao Jing, what's the origin of this guy?" Lin Yuan turned his head and asked in a low voice.

Anna thought for a moment and said:

"I don't know, but I've heard Zheng Jing say before, there are still many primitive tribes in the south of the mountain, but most of them are very murderous, this Yu tribe is in the same area as the headhunters, maybe they were captured as prisoners after the defeat and sent to the north of the mountain...... We need to be careful. ”

Lin Yuan nodded, it seemed that this one called Xiang was obviously targeting himself.

He didn't want to fight hard, he didn't want to lose such a rare opportunity to control the tribe.

Lin Yuan decided to retreat.

"Okay, then let everyone choose for themselves, whoever they want to follow, everyone will stand behind whom! What do you think? Lin Yuan said loudly.

Xiang Leng snorted, walked to a place more than ten meters away with his arms in his arms, and glared at Lin Yuan.

A dozen primitive people quickly walked out of the crowd and stood behind Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan found that they were all survivors of the previous Zheng Jing tribe, the clansmen of the blade.

The people around him, after whispering for a long time, then a dozen young men hesitantly walked out and ran behind Xiang, and then dozens of strong middle-aged men followed.

Lin Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart, those strong primitives, he had already taken a fancy to them, and they would definitely come in handy in future wars.

But there's not much you can do at this point.

Seeing that someone had already made a choice, most people began to get ready to move, and people either resolutely or hesitantly chose their own chieftain.

After a while, the crowd had already been divided, and about two-thirds of the population stood behind Lin Yuan, while one-third stood behind Xiang.

However, Lin Yuan couldn't be happy.

Because most of the people behind him were wounded or women and children, and there were very few young men, and most of the people who had combat effectiveness ran to Xiang's side.

Qiao Jing carefully counted the number of people on her side, then she frowned, ran to Lin Yuan's side, and said:

"Brother Lin, why didn't I see the blade? Where did the blade go? ”

As if he had been reminded of something, Lin Yuan said to himself:

"Oh!! Right! Blade! It's time for him to come back now......"
