Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 120 - 120 119 Raising the Flag!_1

120: Chapter 119: Raising the Flag!_1 120: Chapter 119: Raising the Flag!_1 Tens of thousands of tribespeople had assembled, their murderous intents converging.

The air seemed to thicken and the wind lulled, leaving only the heavy sounds of panting echoing across the scene.

Kill intent quietly flickered in the eyes of the many War Soldiers as they lifted their heads.

The five Blood Refining Realm Warriors stood at the front of the many War Soldiers.

They were not as frantic as the average War Soldier, knowing that Xiao Chen would have more words to say.

“My kin, the dignity of Gu Yuan has to be fought for.

Our race has relied on countless ancestors to sacrifice their lives, spilling their blood, to establish extensive territories in this endless Great Wasteland, bringing forth generations of our tribe.

Similarly, today, in order to ensure no future generations of the Gu Yuan Tribe are bullied by other tribes, I, Xiao Chen, will lead everyone, for my fellow tribespeople, for our descendants, to seize an even broader place on this earth.

Would you rather have your descendants repeat the oppression our ancestors experienced, being forever confined within these thousand miles, resigned to mediocrity, and never seeing the mysteries of the Great Wasteland as they sadly grow old and die?”

“No!”

“Good!

Use the weapons in your hands to carve a path out of Gu Yuan towards the Great Wasteland for future generations.

You are tribespeople of the Gu Yuan Tribe, warriors of Gu Yuan Tribe.

You have flesh and blood, brothers and sisters of the tribe, parents, spouses, and children.

Ten days ago, I, as the tribal chief, challenged the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes to a contest in the Black Cloud Mountain Area.

Tell me, tribespeople, to whose tribe does the Black Cloud Mountain Area belong?”

“It belongs to the Gu Yuan Tribe!”

Over two thousand War Soldiers roared in unison, a trace of anger visible in their eyes.

“That’s correct.

Black Cloud Mountain lies within the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

However, it is now occupied by the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes.

Today, I, as the tribal chief, will reclaim this land.

All lands within Gu Yuan territory will not be surrendered!”

Pausing briefly, Xiao Chen continued, “My kin, today might lead to the loss of tribespeople, but the steel-hearted men of the Gu Yuan Tribe cannot retreat.

We have nowhere to retreat.

Beyond you are your wives, children, and the elderly.

Your family.

Buried behind you, on the hillside, are past generations of our tribe that have died in battle.

Their spirits are watching you, blessing Gu Yuan.

Where your War Spears point, fear nothing!”

Bang, bang, bang!

Just then, a continuous rumbling sound echoed from the crowd.

Soon, the closely clustered crowd parted, revealing several dozen raggedy men with shackles on their hands and feet, struggling to move forward.

Their long hair fell past their faces, obscuring sight of their features.

Like this, step by step, they shuffled closer under the guard of tribe soldiers until they were before everyone.

Showing no sign of compassion, the guards kicked them to the ground; they shattered the prisoners’ knees, forcing them to kneel in front of everyone else.

Moreover, there was not a hint of pity in the gazes of the Gu Yuan tribespeople as they looked at these prisoners.

On the contrary, their eyes were filled with endless hatred.

They wished they could tear the prisoners apart.

These several dozen people were the War Soldiers of the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes who had been captured by the Gu Yuan Tribe!

“Today, I, the tribal chief, will lead all of you brave warriors to reclaim our tribal territory and take back the Elemental Stone Vein!

These people are the tribal soldiers of the Xuan She Kui Shui Tribes.

Their hands are stained with the blood of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

They are the executioners who killed our tribespeople.

Today, I, the tribal chief, will use their heads to honor the spirits of the departed in our tribe!”

“Kill!

Kill!

Kill!”

Perhaps knowing what awaited them, the prisoners didn’t resist at all.

They simply allowed the Gu Yuan Tribe’s warrior to behead them, blood spraying everywhere.

However, with the last captive to be sacrificed, perhaps seeing the death of his companions helped him overcome his fear.

As the War Soldier raised his War Saber to sever the captive’s neck, the captive surprisingly struggled to his feet and let out a piercing scream, “One day, the brave warriors of the Kui Shui Tribe will repay the humiliation of this day by soaking the Gu Yuan Tribe in their own blood and souls!”

In the Great Wasteland, being captured by another tribe and becoming a sacrifice was quite common.

But this captive from the Kui Shui Tribe had not resigned himself to his fate.

His curse before death had somewhat inflamed the fury of Ding Shan at his side.

Because he had been injured by a Kui Shui Tribe member, he did not have a positive impression of members of the Kui Shui Tribe.

He quickly dashed forward, snatched the War Saber from the War Soldier, and struck the captive from the Kui Shui Tribe in his knee.

The captive crumbled.

The flashing blade sliced down swiftly, and the prisoner’s head rolled several meters away — clearly not ready for death.

Ding Shan, expressionless, handed the blood-stained War Saber back to the waiting soldier.

He then returned to his position to await Xiao Chen’s next command.

Dozens of heads rolled in full view of everyone, and a thick scent of blood permeated the air.

As the essence of blood stirred up even greater killing intent among the crowd, a wild glint flashed in their eyes.

Indeed, as per the ancient traditions, beheading the enemy as a sacrifice before a war had its reasons.

Watching the invigorated War Soldiers before him, Xiao Chen gave a nod of approval, then moved forward once again.

In a deep voice, he announced, “Nothing matters more to a tribe than its rituals and its wars.

This battle demands the very best of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

But the tribal base’s defenses must not be neglected.

I am assigning both the Grand Elder and the Third Elder, along with five hundred War Soldiers, to stay behind and guard the base during this Black Cloud Mountain campaign.

The remaining brave warriors will follow me to Black Cloud Mountain to clear the Gu Yuan Tribe’s eight-century-long grudge!”

“Yes!”

After a joint attack by both the Black Mountain and Kui Shui Tribes, allowing the foreign Scorpion Clan to infiltrate the Gu Yuan Tribe and cause many seasoned soldiers to die in battle, Xiao Chen had learned a bloody lesson.

Thus, this time around, he decided to leave two Blood Refining Realm Warriors behind to guard the home base, ensuring full-proof security.

Half an hour later, aside from Xiao Chen, the four figures of Ding Shan, Shi Ya, Huang Liang, and Mu Qing, along with the tribe’s fifteen authoritative Centurions and eighty Centurion-level warriors who had been specially promoted, were already standing in front of Xiao Chen.

“The Gu Yuan Tribe has persisted for eight hundred years, with only three rules of war!”

“Those who retreat without fighting, kill!”

“Those who surrender without fighting, kill!”

“Those who flee without fighting, kill!

Kill!

Kill!”

“We heed this order.

Those who retreat in combat, kill!

Those who surrender in combat, kill!

Those who flee in combat, kill!”

All bowed to acknowledge the order, each one of their eyes reflecting a determination to disregard life and death in order to seek justice for those from the Gu Yuan Tribe who met tragic ends!

Riding atop the King Unicorn brought to him by one of his men, Xiao Chen turned to look at his soldiers and his tribespeople, his eyes flickering with unwavering resolve.

Soon after, a roar broke out.

“Mount up!

Move out!”

The horn blew once more, the entire tribe once again reverberating with the thunderous sound.

Two thousand soldiers moved as one, swiftly mounting their prepped rides.

Made of iron and gold, they followed Xiao Chen forward.

This time, they’ll go for revenge, behead enemies, in sacrifice!
