_1 “Xiao Clan Leader, now that Gu Yuan Tribe has consumed the Clan of the Eight Directions, sweeping over the wilderness and continuously absorbing several human tribes, their occupied territory is large enough to span three thousand miles.

Currently, they may simply have a small number of tribespeople, but in the Great Wasteland, there are countless wanderers without homes.

This won’t be a problem for the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Moreover, Xiao Clan Leader, you are so young, in just a few years, you will be at the Peak of the Blood-Refining Realm.

The potential for the Gu Yuan Tribe to emerge is massive, befitting a low-tier top-grade tribe.

So why do you not seem pleased?”

Perhaps due to his techniques, Tie Mo’s voice carries a slight chill.

Seeing that Xiao Chen doesn’t share the same excitement as the other tribe members, Tie Mo’s words become more pointed.

“I dare not.

The Gu Yuan Tribe is just a remote small tribe, which has had a bit of development and has been sought after by the Sect Master’s Tribe.

This is an honor for the Gu Yuan Tribe and an honor for Xiao Chen.

How could I not be moved?

I just need to think about how to thank the battle master from the Sect Master’s Tribe.”

When something is abnormal, there must be a demon.

At this moment, Xiao Chen is fully convinced that there must be some hidden element in this.

The Gu Yuan Tribe is simply a remote small tribe.

Even with Xiao Chen’s rise now and the tribe’s improvements, he believes that the Gu Yuan Tribe’s current strength is not enough to attract the Iron Hoof Tribe’s consideration.

There must be another reason.

“There is no need for thanks.

We all belong to the Human Bloodline, and although we belong to different tribes, as members of the Great Wasteland Ancient Human Tribe, we must unite to resist the tyranny of the Hundred Realms Great Clan.

As long as Xiao Clan Leader prioritizes our human cause, that would be the best repayment for me and a return for the support of our Iron Hoof War Division.”

Despite how Xiao Chen seems somewhat constrained, Tie Mo turns a blind eye.

Because behind him stands the Iron Hoof Tribe, a force capable of crushing the small tribes like Xiao’s tribe into dust countless times over.

Under the accumulated power of the Iron Hoof Tribe over thousands of years, all the affiliated tribes under the Iron Hoof rule are as defenseless as clay chickens and pottery dogs.

“This is the copy of the tribal seal.

Xiao Clan Leader, press down your tribal seal, and when I return to Iron Hoof City, I will give it to the tribal leader to record.

Then, the Gu Yuan Tribe will become a low-tier, top-grade tribe under the rule of the Iron Hoof Tribe, and might even be rewarded with gifts from my Iron Hoof Tribe every year.”

As he spoke, Tie Mo threw down a piece of shiny beast skin from the Jade Horn Lion’s body.

It was several feet wide, filled with tiny characters, recording all the Human War Tribes in the Stone Valley.

Of course

There were also some tribe names that have been crossed out, representing the tribes that have already been destroyed.

Because they cannot change the situation, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate and used his finger as a pen to imprint the mark of the Gu Yuan Tribe on this piece of shiny beast skin.

The man in front of him is a representative of the middle-tier War Division; he doesn’t want to disobey them at the moment.

Even if it’s a chasm in front of him, he still has to tread ahead.

This is the reality; without strength, even if one wants to stick to their principles, they will still be helpless.”

“Good!” Seeing Xiao Chen imprint his seal on the beast skin, Tie Mo nodded in approval.

“Xiao Clan Leader, as a low-tier, top-grade tribe, you have the right to select warriors to enter the Blood Clan Battlefield.

However, this year, an unexpected incident happened on the battlefield.

In order to reseal it, our Iron Hoof Tribe suffered heavy losses.

Some unforeseen circumstances also arose within the battlefield.

Therefore, after discussion between the clan elders, it was decided to close the Blood Clan Battlefield.

The decision of when to reopen will be made later.”

The Blood Clan Battlefield is both a battlefield and a treasure trove filled with countless weapons and armor left behind by fallen Human War Soldiers over thousands of years, as well as medicinal herbs and casting materials.

It is a dream treasure for countless warriors in the Stone Valley.

Despite the dangers, the prospect of great wealth drives people forward.

Hearing news of the closure of the Blood Clan Battlefield, the five brothers of the Qiu family couldn’t help but show a look of regret.

“There were about 10,000 remnants of the Blood Clan that escaped from the battlefield this time, and they have spread and fled to various regions under our Iron Hoof rule.

Not only this, multiple ‘Ten Thousand War Masters’ from our Iron Hoof Tribe suffered heavy losses in the fight to resist this invasion.

To quickly make up for our loss, prevent a counterattack from the other tribes, and avoid further losses, we have decided based on deliberation by the clan elders to double the tributes of each tribe for the next five years!”

What!

Doubling the tribute…taking the former Gu Yuan Tribe as an example, every two years, they need to give two hundred Yuan Stones, five medicinal herbs over 500 years old, and countless normal herbs to the Iron Hoof Tribe.

These resources alone are enough to deplete the accumulation of the Gu Yuan Tribe for two years, and these are just the tributes from a lower-tier tribe.

Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe has become a low-tier top-grade Human War Tribe, the contribution is even more demanding.

At this moment, everyone finally understood why Tie Mo insisted on promoting the Gu Yuan Tribe’s grade level.

The reason turns out to be here, but they are incapable of expressing their indignation.

“Xiao Clan Leader, as a low-tier top-grade tribe, you have to pay a tribute every two years, which includes 2,000 Yuan Stones, twenty treasure medicines over 500 years old, and one Spirit Medicine over a thousand years old.

Double that is 4,000 Yuan stones, forty 500-year-old treasure medicines, and two thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines.

I believe that the Gu Yuan Tribe, which has continuously absorbed several tribes from the four corners, should be able to afford this tribute.”

This was Tie Mo’s real intent in overseeing Giant Stone Valley.

To evaluate the strength of many Human Tribes in the valley and force them to pay tribute.

The Iron Hoof Tribe gives nominal positions to their affiliated tribes, but these affiliated tribes have to pay substantial tributes to the Iron Hoof Tribe.

For these nominal positions, the Iron Hoof Tribe doesn’t have to sacrifice anything; they only need to give the order.

This is a clever move indeed, gaining maximum benefits by word of mouth alone.

The number of tributes from so many affiliated tribes is immeasurable.

“Let it be!

The Gu Yuan Tribe will do its utmost to pay its tribute.”

Xiao Chen raised his head to look at Tie Mo, his eyes filled with a trace of anger.

Eventually, the anger subsided, and he replied in a deep voice.

Even though Xiao Chen had long since stopped considering these tributes significant, he did not dare to show it.

Sure enough, upon seeing Xiao Chen’s forced and bitter acceptance, Tie Mo did not harbor any suspicion.

Tie Mo finds it hard to speak out about the command to double the tributes from the affiliated tribes.

This is undoubtedly a desperate move, but the Iron Hoof Tribe’s losses this time have reached a critical point.

To protect the tribe, there are no alternatives.

Although the Iron Hoof Tribe seems immensely powerful in the eyes of the human tribes in the Stone Valley, there are also enemy tribes within the Border Wasteland Region.

Of course, in order not to provoke public anger and undermine their rule, the Iron Hoof Tribe has dispatched representatives to all the Human Tribes in the region.

After evaluating the situation of each tribe, they will be commanded to pay an appropriate tribute.

They will not push the affiliated tribes to their limit.

Even if they know about the immense price, they still have to grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

“Good!

There’s one more thing.

After the annual ceremony, each low-tier, top-grade tribe must dispatch ten Blood Refining Realm Warriors from their tribe to rush to the Iron Hoof Tribe, to be enlisted as War Soldiers to guard outside the Blood Clan Battlefield.

This is a military order!”

At this moment, Tie Mo threw out another smaller piece of beast skin, which was the conscription order issued by the Iron Hoof Tribe and the imprint on it was indeed that of the Iron Hoof Tribe.
