Chapter 260 - 260 254 The Duel Agreement is Cancelled!_1

260: Chapter 254: The Duel Agreement is Cancelled!_1 260: Chapter 254: The Duel Agreement is Cancelled!_1 As a subordinate tribe under the medium-ranked Iron Hoof Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe enjoys sovereign rule over its own territory.

However, it has an obligation to periodically provide tributes and military service to the ruling Sect Master’s Tribe.

The supreme Sect Master’s Tribe even has the right to conscript warriors from its subordinate tribes for warfare and defense.

“What!

They are drafting ten Blood Refining Realm Warriors to guard the Blood Clan Battlefield in Iron Hoof City!”

At this moment, the joy that the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe had felt about their tribal rank promotion had already vanished.

Ignoring the doubled tribute demands from them as lower-level superior tribes, just the ten Blood Refining Realm Warriors alone accounted for half of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s strength.

This calculation included the Imprisoned Five Brothers; otherwise, the proportion would reach up to eighty percent.

This was tantamount to clearing out the entire high-end combat power of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

“What, Xiao Clan Leader, does the Gu Yuan Tribe dare to defy the conscription order of our Iron Hoof War Division!”

In this world, there are no free benefits, especially in the endless peril of the Great Wasteland.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but wryly smile in his heart.

There was no room for refusal.

To defy the imperial command of the Sect Master’s Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe would need to leave the territory of the Iron Hoof Tribe.

But in the vast Great Wasteland, where could the Gu Yuan Tribe go?

“Not at all.

As a tribe under the rule of the medium-ranked Iron Hoof Tribe, the Iron Hoof Tribe dominates millions of miles of wilderness territory, providing peace to a part of the wasteland.

Their merits to humanity cannot be denied.

How could my Gu Yuan Tribe not accept the command!”

“Good!” Upon seeing Xiao Chen give no disagreement, Iron Mo spoke again with conviction, “Our Iron Hoof Tribe possesses a vast array of techniques and martial skills, even including secret texts left from ancient times.

As long as there’s enough war merit, our Iron Hoof Tribe will not be stingy in its rewards.

Once the guard period is over, we, the Iron Hoof Tribe, permit the passing down of these taught techniques to the tribe members.”

Iron Mo’s words were firm and forceful.

As the Sect Master who was drafting the warriors for defense, he obviously had to offer some rewards.

Of course, there were some things he didn’t mention, such as the fates of the drafted warriors laid in the hands of heaven.

Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the vault of heaven!

Such is the naked reality!

“We, the Human Race, have fought in countless battles in the wilderness, sacrificing ourselves to the vast sky.

Relying on generations of successive tribe members, the Gu Yuan Tribe may not be a large tribe that carries thousands of years of history, but we carry the hot blood of our ancestors in our veins.

Obviously, we will not shy away from guarding the Blood Clan Battlefield.

After the annual ceremony, our Gu Yuan Tribe’s ten Blood Refining Realm Warriors will surely head to Iron Hoof City to follow the orders of the Iron Hoof War Division.

We do not seek rewards, only to live without regret and honor the loyal souls of countless glorious predecessors.”

Since refusal was impossible, why not leave a good impression on this leader of the Ten-Thousand Men of the Iron Hoof Tribe?

Xiao Chen could tell that as the leader of the Ten-Thousand Men, he must be a warrior of iron blood who experienced countless battles in the Great Wasteland.

Acting weakly would only lead to his contempt.

Hm?

Sure enough, the next moment, this leader of the Ten-Thousand Men, who emanated an aura of chill, slightly relaxed his furrowed brow.

His heart filled with some surprise.

The leader of this small tribe in front of him really fit his taste.

A lifetime in the military, battling countless numbers of exotic races, and possessing an unyielding hatred for them, a warrior who prioritizes the greater good of the human race certainly suits his temperament.

“It’s rumored, Clan Leader Xiao, that the Gu Yuan Tribe has set a battle wager with Chunroon’s Elephant clan.

This will take place after the annual ceremony, resulting in a battle to the death!”

At this point, Iron Mo changes the subject, bringing up the battle wager set up between Xiao Chen and Xiang Tian of the Baoxiang Clan.

This battle pledge was one Xiao Chen made publicly in Duanmu City among the Shadow Forest Tribe and other tribes.

It was no secret.

Although unaware of why Iron Mo mentioned it, Xiao Chen calmly agreed.

Not only that, at this moment, the young man from the Blackwood Tribe standing nearby also couldn’t help but prick up his ears to listen in.

In the jurisdiction of the Iron Hoof Tribe, disputes among the tribes were common.

After all, on this chaotic land of the Desolate Wilds, one had to constantly fight and strive for survival.

Only the strongest had the right to survive and continuously strengthen themselves.

For the disputes among the tribes under its rule, the Iron Hoof Tribe generally wouldn’t directly intervene.

It was believed that shallow waters could not produce dragons—survival of the fittest was the law in the wild, where only the strong survive.

As long as the subordinate tribes paid their tributes on time, the Iron Hoof Tribe almost allowed the tribes to govern themselves.

This was the reason Xiao Chen found it strange that Iron Mo would bring up the matter.

“Let’s cancel this tribal war.”

What!

“Your Excellency, this is a tribal agreement personally established between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Baoxiang Clan’s Xiang Tian.

This is an ancient pact inherited by our human race since time immemorial.

The Wild Wasteland decrees, anyone who violates it will face the joint strike of ten thousand tribes in the world!”

The news shocked everyone, but the first to react was Wu Yuan from the Blackwood Tribe.

He seemed anxious to speak, but stopped when he saw all eyes were on him.

“Humph!”

Tie Mo quickly turned his gaze, two dazzling white light beams erupted from his eyes.

The light was akin to a rainbow, mixed with a bone-chilling coldness that instantly descended upon Wu Yuan.

Boom!

Without any ability to resist, Wu Yuan was immediately knocked back over a dozen meters, spitting out blood.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was astonished that Tie Mo would dare to strike him.

“No one has any right to meddle in my affairs, if there’s a next time, not even the Young Clan Leader will be able to save you.

I believe if I were to kill you, the Young Clan Leader would not even reproach me,” he warned.

This time, Wu Yuan appeared to be terrified by the prospect of death.

Resentment flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, he stood up and, ignoring the gazes of everyone around him, dashed into the wilderness.

He did not even bother about his Jade Horn Lion mount.

“This time, my Tribe Leader commanded all subordinate tribes to stop all internal disputes and collectively wipe out the survivors of the exotic clan.

I have already discussed with the clan leader of the Bao Elephant Tribe and he has agreed to abandon the tribe war and confront the exotic clan crisis together,” Tie Mo continued without paying any heed to Wu Yuan’s departure.

“I won’t conceal this from you; I believe the news will soon spread throughout the wilderness.

It is not just our Iron Hoof Tribe’s Blood Clan Battlefield that showed signs of movement, but the Ghost Tribe Battlefield guarded by the top-tier Eternal Night Tribe to the North of the Iron Hoof tribe, and the Evil Spirits Tribe Battlefield guarded by the middle-tier Azure Cloud tribe to the East, have also reported activity.

Thus, to prevent the exotic clan from striking back, many affiliated tribes under my Iron Hoof Tribe must unite and resist the attack,” he elaborated coldly.

What?

Everyone began speculating.

Could it be that the chaos of the exotic tribe is about to erupt again, with the wilderness being in a turbulent state and mankind facing numerous disasters?

In the end, the Ten-Thousand Men Leader looked at everyone again, and then lightly nudged the White Jade Lion beneath him, and his figure shot into the wilderness.

“Xiao Clan Leader, I hope your Gu Yuan Tribe is ready for war.

In the upcoming battle, protect our human bloodline and defend the land left behind by our ancestors!”

The middle-aged leader’s voice carried across to them from afar.

Xiao Chen cast his gaze toward the distance, his eyes indifferent, neither joyous nor sorrowful, making it hard for outsiders to decipher his thoughts.

“Clan Leader, is our human race about to be plunged into a time of blood and fire once more?”

“Our human race has survived through countless battles, continuing to exist since ancient times.

Amidst blood and sacrifice, countless brave warriors have fought bravely.

Even if we’re cast into a sea of blood and fire, there will always be a day of return!”

Xiao Chen’s eyes glowed brightly and his voice was strong, seemingly scattering the original fear base.

“Clan Leader, can the Bao Elephant Tribe truly let go of their grudges?” asked the Grand Elder next to him, somewhat skeptically.

Xiao Chen didn’t reply.

He had no interest in talking at that moment.

He had wholly merged with the wilderness, knowing it wasn’t quite as simple as it appeared.

Some devious elements were clear to him.

Perhaps since the ancient epoch, the human race has been staining the land red with blood, resisting the raging of the Hundred Clans.

If in this turbulent time, someone were causing further mayhem, then there would be no need to combine tribes.

The manifold tribes of the human race would collapse on their own!
