Chapter Seventy-One Returns
Rugged huge tents
A burning fire
Two people, a young man and a middle-aged man, one was lying on the bed and the other was sitting next to him.
"How's the end of our personnel?" a hoarse voice with a sad voice came out of the mouth of one of the men, and on closer hearing it was the young man speaking.
"Five people, Hei Da is still alive. Heavy words sounded in the tent with difficulty, and when the middle-aged man finished answering these questions, he saw that the body of the person opposite suddenly stiffened, and then slowly relaxed after a while.
"What about the white-clawed wolf?" the young man, who seemed to have relaxed himself, asked again after a moment of silence, although he had slowed down his tone as much as possible to make it sound a little more easy-going, but he could not hide the coldness, hatred, and murderous intent in his words.
"Except for their leader, who was shot into the river by a giant crossbow and lost his track, all the other white-clawed wolves were killed. The middle-aged man spoke quickly in a tone that seemed to relieve hatred or relief, perhaps feeling that he had not finished the previous situation, so he quickly added: "I have arranged for the warriors to search for the traces of their leaders along the river, anyway, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die." ”
"Well, that's how it should be. ”
For a moment, there was silence in the huge tent.
"You have a good rest, I'll go out first. After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man stood up and slowly walked towards the outside of the tent, and when he opened the animal skin door of the tent, he stood at the door, turned his head to the young man lying on the bed and said: "As a warrior of the tribe, there are only two results in the end, one is to die in battle, and the other is to die of illness and old age on the bed. But for a warrior, being able to die in battle is their highest honor. ”
The middle-aged man was gone, and only the young man who was lying alone in the tent was left, and his mouth kept murmuring: Is it true that people cannot be resurrected after death?
The army of the Fire Tribe camped in place and waited for half a month, and the warriors searching along the river still did not find a trace of the leader of the white-clawed wolf, it may have died, maybe it did not have time to continue to explore.
Autumn is almost over, and it is now a month before the first snow of winter falls.
Now not only the weather in the future does not allow them to stay any longer, but also the most important prey on the plains, which have all migrated a few days ago.
The people in the camp had been eating the meat of the beast that had been marinated earlier for two days, and it was urgent to return to the tribe.
Finally today, the leader Lie gathered all the clansmen and began to pull out the camp to pack up supplies, and the Fire Tribe, which had spent half a month in vain, began to evacuate, and after a while, the Fire Tribe's team meandered through the vast plain that was already rarely green.
Su Ming, who had recovered, rode on a sturdy two-horned horse, looked back in the direction of the forest in the team, and said silently in his heart: Wait, I will still come back, and next time it will not end like this.
Half a month later, before the official start of winter, the fire tribe's outing team returned to the tribe's station.
The left-behind clansmen, who had already learned the news in advance, all walked out of the city walls to greet those who were about to return in the wilderness, as well as those warriors who were alive or dead after the long journey.
After entering the tribe's station, Priest Hui also deliberately held a large-scale sacrifice, in order to praise Su Ming for their bloody battle with the white-clawed wolf, and tell the ancestors of the Fire Tribe about the miraculous battle, so that they could know the bravery and strength of the Fire Tribe.
After the sacrifice was completed, Hui Helie, Su Ming, Shan Er and the others returned to the tribe's council hall to discuss important matters in the tribe that had not yet been decided, including the matter of collecting new affiliated tribes.
"What are you talking about? The newly split He tribe wants to become our subordinate tribe? "When the leader Lie heard the news, he instantly felt bad. I have never encountered such a good thing in the tribe for decades, and I have only left the tribe for more than two months and gone out to hunt, so something so exciting suddenly happened.
"Yes, after our confirmation, the He tribe is unable to feed so many people due to the sudden shortage of food. And when the division was carried out, it was already autumn, and it was too late to migrate, but in order to survive, they wanted to attach themselves to us as soon as they were divided. Mon Ear also smiled and told everyone what he had learned.
"That's a good thing, I absolutely agree. Now it seems that the small plain can finally be fully utilized, and let the He tribe take care of it, which can make up for the tribe's current lack of plant food. Lie Ke knew that the He tribe was very famous for planting plant food, so after knowing the authenticity of this news, the whole person was also very excited.
After all, after the village of the Deer Tribe was repaired, the huge plain between the Deer Tribe and the Fire Tribe was completely free of the threat of land creatures. If that plain was only used for the deer tribe to raise domesticated animals, it would be too wasteful.
And now with the addition of the He tribe, they can reclaim a large amount of land on the plain for growing food, and then the tribe will not only have a large amount of new food income, but also make full use of the land on the plain, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"Well, I also agree to collect the He tribe, which will not only increase the number of people available to our tribe, but also give the other tribes a deep impression that we are strong enough to protect or take in other tribes. After that, the other tribes took a very good lead. As long as those tribes encounter difficulties that they can't have in the future, such as the fierce conflict between the savage beasts and humans that they are about to face next, the first thing they think of is our Fire Tribe, and let our Fire Tribe become their first choice when they take refuge, so that the power of our Fire Tribe can be quickly expanded. ”
Su Ming has now come out of the depression and grief of losing his clan, and instead of playing everywhere except cultivation as before, he has begun to actively participate in the management and decision-making of the tribe.
"Well, it's settled, I'm going to go to Heli, the new leader of the He tribe, and set a specific date for the ceremony together, and implement this matter as soon as possible. Seeing that Su Ming and Lie also agreed, Shan Er immediately got up and prepared to go to the temporary camp of the He tribe to discuss this matter with their leaders and priests, especially the new priests who received the process and specific rituals of the affiliated tribes and taught them.
Seven days later, the totem temple of the Fire Tribe was filled with people from the Fire Tribe and the He Tribe both inside and outside the temple.
Now the Fire Tribe is carrying out the ceremony of collecting the He tribe as its own affiliated tribe, this time it is still presided over by Hui and Su Ming, the ceremony has already been held once, and they already have specific experience, as long as everything is in accordance with the established process.
With the leader Lie and the leader of the He tribe, He Li, announcing the completion of the ceremony and announcing the results to heaven and earth, the He tribe will be a subordinate tribe of the Fire tribe from today onwards.
He Li continued from the beginning to the Fire Tribe until he had just announced the completion of the ceremony with the leader Lie, and then he exhaled a good breath, as if the heavy pressure was dissipated in one day, and he gained a whole body of comfort. He has always been afraid that the Fire Tribe will regret it halfway, so in this season that is about to enter the cold winter, the He tribe will fall into a desperate situation, and may become the first shortest-lived tribe to be wiped out as soon as it is divided.
But luckily, nothing happened along the way, and everything went well.
Thinking about what the one-eared deputy leader came to him a few days ago, reclaiming the small plains. He Li began to think about how much land he would have to reclaim at the beginning of the next spring, so that he could plant all the plant seeds brought from the clan tribe, especially the rye seeds.
After the harvest, the value of the He tribe is no worse than that of the deer tribe.
