Chapter 12: The Reaction of the Beast Tribes
It can be said that the defeat of the orc alliance was not taken to heart by those big chiefs, they left Mao Yisig and fled, and each returned to his tribe, although the loss of thousands of people, but it is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of clansmen, and soon the orc herdsmen can be recruited to form a new army.
But another news came next, but it completely shocked the entire beast tribeββββ the great chief of the White Tiger tribe, Mao Yixige, after being besieged by the barbarians, actually chose to surrender. He also sent an order to let the entire White Tiger tribe move in the direction of the savannah occupied by the barbarians.
Although he was shameless first, after Haoji Geri and others learned the news, they still scolded angrily. Immediately afterwards, the big chiefs and small chiefs gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
It can be said that the crowd is excited, and most of the people are clamoring that the White Tiger Tribe should be stopped halfway, and they should not be allowed to join the barbarians. But the only few beast soul shamans left behind remained silent. In the end, Haoji Geri and the others were curious, and couldn't help but ask: "A few venerable shamans, what do you think we should do? Do you just let the White Tiger Tribe make such a shameless move? Our beast clan's face has been completely lost." β
The Beast Soul Shaman Demutu looked worried, and suddenly said a piece of news that shocked everyone even more: "You chiefs may not know that the Great Chief of Mauisig has surrendered to the barbarians, but all the other Beast Soul Shamans who have followed you in the war have not returned. Most likely, they all fell on the battlefield. β
"Impossible!" "All of you great chieftains have the power of beast souls, they are extremely powerful, and if you really want to retreat on the battlefield, no barbarian warrior can stop them. β
"Hmph, this is to ask you, why did you six great chiefs form an alliance to attack the barbarians, but in the end Maoyisig fell, but you returned unharmed?
Shaman Demutu gave him a cold look, and without asking, he could guess what was really going on on the battlefield. With the virtues of people like Hajigger and Mondurak, it was not uncommon for them to flee early.
The five Great Chiefs including Haoji Geri were a little embarrassed, but they still felt that it was unlikely that the Beast Soul Shaman would all be captured by the barbarians. "Maybe they're lost on the road and on their way back," he comforted. Haha, let's discuss it now, how to punish Mao Yisig and his White Tiger Tribe, right?"
"Mauisig has three sons, and they often fight with each other for inheritance, and I wonder how they react to their father's surrender?" asked a small tribal chief.
Hu Yake, the great chief of the Alatan tribe, who is relatively close to the territory of the White Tiger Tribe, is very clear about this, and said with a chuckle: "The three brothers reacted differently, the eldest Masi Bayar and the second Wuyin Bayar almost immediately rebelled with their loyal men, and the two of them have already fought for the position of the big chief of the White Tiger Tribe. As for the third Tumen Bayar, hmph, he was honest, and obediently took the remaining White Tiger tribesmen and migrated to the border area of the Tulun Wasteland in the north. What we have to do is how to stop Tumen Bayar. β
As for the civil strife of the White Tiger Tribe, in fact, all the big chiefs are happy to see it, and even they can't wait for the White Tiger Tribe to be as chaotic as possible, so that they can benefit from the fish, and it is best for the three Bayars to fight and lose both, and then they will go over to annex and divide it up to strengthen the strength of their tribe.
But on the face of it, it still has to be reasonable. Those small tribes didn't get any benefit anyway, so they naturally didn't speak. The only two beast soul shamans were worried about the safety of their other companions, and they didn't care about that. Therefore, in the end, the five patriarchs unanimously made a decision to send troops to intercept Tumen Bayar halfway.
This time is a good thing, the five major tribes will naturally not let other small tribes send troops. But at the end of the meeting, there was no mention of the threat...... No one is allowed to follow the example of Mao Yisig and make a shameless act of surrendering to the barbarians, otherwise they will face an army of retaliation from the entire beast clan.
The White Tiger tribe is the most powerful, with nearly 200,000 people, although it was divided by the three Bayars, but Mao Yisig was highly respected after all, and the number of people who chose to follow him was also the largest, as many as nearly 100,000 people followed Tumen Bayar on the migration journey. The rest of the men were probably evenly matched with the other two Bayars.
For this, Masibayar and Uyin Bayar were also very helpless, but because the two of them had serious differences, they had not yet decided the winner, so they had to watch the third child leave with someone.
What they didn't know was that the other five beast tribes had already assembled a large army and were ready to intercept Tumen Bayar halfway.
Tumen Bayar had just turned eighteen years old and was Mauisig's favorite son. He didn't have much ambition or ability, he just listened to his father very much. Since his father chose to surrender to the barbarians and sent people back to gather the White Tiger tribe to migrate, he must have a reason to do so. As a son, just obey orders. As for the two eldest brothers who are willing to fight for life and death, he can't control it, and he doesn't want to care about it.
The migration of 100,000 people is a long one, and they can't walk much in a day with a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, as well as packed tents and other daily necessities. Tumen Bayar also felt that it was dangerous for him to do so, so he sent scouts in advance to spy around in case other tribes were working against them.
His vigilance soon paid off, and a few scouts quietly returned one night and reported to him: "Master Tumen, we can't go any further. The road ahead is blocked by a large army!"
Tumen Bayar was taken aback, but still asked calmly, "Have you heard which tribe's soldiers and horses it is?"
"It was too dark at night for us to get too close and not see clearly. But the number is very large, at least three to fifty thousand people. β
Tumen Bayar's heart sank, although he led 100,000 people, most of them were old and weak women and children, and the young and strong ones were less than 10,000 people except for the eldest brother and the second brother who fought for power and profit in the back, and they were obviously not the opponents of the people who stood in the way on the opposite side.
What should we do?" Tumen thought for a moment, summoned dozens of scouts, and gave them an order: "Spread out, and run north from different directions, taking advantage of the night, to find my father, Mauisig, and tell him what we are doing. I think he'll have a way to solve the crisis at hand. β
These scouts were all loyal orcs, one by one obeying orders, in the night, silently circling the large circle, avoiding the orc army in front of them, and rushing in the direction of the barbarians.
Tumen Bayar then issued an order for all the old and weak women and children to gather in the inner circle of the habitat, and the only 10,000 or so young warriors stood in the way. At the same time, pray in my heart...... I hope my father can come to the rescue in time with reinforcements!
