Chapter 331: Chapter 322: Playing False Under the Table! (First update)_1

The arrival of Iron Mo and the chieftains of the four major overlord tribes instantly made everyone in the hall sit upright, hiding their previous languid expressions.

Iron Mo, seated at the throne, let his gaze roam over the crowd below before finally saying, "I, the tribal chief of Iron Mo, have received the imperial command to inspect all major Human War Tribes within the jurisdiction of the Giant Stone Valley and to urge the extermination of the survivors of the exotic clans that are wreaking havoc on our human brethren. Since our arrival in the Giant Stone Valley, I’ve been so troubled that I can barely sleep. I’ve covered most of the Giant Stone Valley, fearing that I might fail in executing the command, and betray the trust that the brothers and sisters of the Great Wasteland have placed in me!"

Iron Mo’s words instantly aroused the nobility in everyone present in the hall and they all ample praises for him.

"I was entrusted by the tribal chief to be fully responsible for the mission to deal with the exotic clan invasion in the Giant Stone Valley. To my surprise, I discovered that a Human War Tribe in the Giant Stone Valley had gone so far as to side with the survivors of the exotic clan, betraying the honor of our human forefathers. What do you all think should be done about this?

"Those who betray our human honor should be killed without mercy!"

Compared to the impassioned speeches of the many Blood Refining Realm warriors below, the chieftains of the four major Battle Divisions above remained silent, their eyes slightly closed, as if the affairs in the hall had nothing to do with them.

"Good!"

In the next moment, Iron Mo’s palm suddenly slammed onto the white jade stone table in front of him. He roared loudly, then strode down the stone steps, his eyes filled with fury, appearing to be deeply grieved and indignant.

"Since the dawn of time, our Great Wasteland Human Tribe’s azure blood has stained the sky blue, and our fervent blood has been spilled across the Great Wasteland. Our hatred for the exotic clans of Hundred Realms passed down from generation to generation will never cease. And yet, the Gu Yuan Tribe has abandoned our human honor that has been upheld since ancient times, disregarding the will of our predecessors and willingly siding with the exotic clans, aiming to inflict harm on our own brethren. These traitors deserve to be killed!"

Iron Mo’s voice was low, filled with endless shame and, perhaps, a hint of regret. His final words came out as a roar, reminiscent of one who would die to safeguard his people.

"The chief of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen, is a talented warrior. He was fit to contribute to the prosperity of our human tribe, and yet, he willingly became a puppet to the exotic clans. He is unworthy of being a descendant of our human tribe. You should know that our Iron Hoof Tribe has always treated talented warriors with great hospitality. This time, we even promoted the Gu Yuan Tribe’s status from the bottom to a higher level. Yet, Xiao Chen did not show gratitude for the favor of the great tribe. Instead, he betrayed the human tribe!"

"Lord Commander, such a traitor should be killed!"

"Lord Commander, we heed your command. Since Xiao Chen has shown no gratitude for the favor of the upper tribe and is disloyal and unrighteous, even if he is exceptionally talented, he is unworthy of being one of us. We are willing to help Lord Commander to exterminate this traitorous individual."

"Lord Commander, I am the chieftain of the Lu Mountain Tribe. When I heard about the human tribe extermination order from Lord Commander, I brought my elite warriors to exterminate them and return the organic serenity to our human tribe!"

"I, the head of the Fu Tribe’s tribe, came on the orders of the tribal chief, leading the elite warriors of the tribe to fight for our human brethren from miles away, to exterminate the treacherous and unfaithful."

........

"I am a ranger named Earth Shadow Mouse, here to contribute my efforts in eradicating the human rebels!"

At this moment, amongst the numerous warriors seated below, a rather unremarkable position suddenly stood up. A short-statured warrior with a rat-like face. His voice was remarkably high-pitched, which made a bad impression on people who looked at him for the first time.

Immediately after the rat-faced man came out, all eyes in the hall turned to him. Even the chieftains of the four major tribes, who originally had their eyes narrowed, opened them and gazed at him.

The Earth Shadow Mouse was a well-known figure among the people of the Giant Stone Valley. His reputation was no less than those of the four famed rangers, and he was at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm Late Phase, having opened up nine of his meridians. However, the Earth Shadow Mouse’s reputation was particularly poor. He was a violently brutal warrior who often killed and robbed others. In the depths of the Great Wasteland, any human rangers who happened across him barely escaped with their lives.

"Upon hearing about the Lord Commander’s operation to exterminate human rebels, I rushed here to serve!"

This man known as the Earth Shadow Mouse paid no heed to the gazes of the crowd and instead looked at Iron Mo with bloodshot eyes.

"Good! Everyone should punish the rebels of the human tribe. As the Commander, I have always been sincere to warriors who prioritize the greater good of the human tribe!"

Iron Mo then abruptly changed the topic and exclaimed, "A few chieftains, even the rangers in the Great Wasteland know that every man should punish the human rebels for the greater good. I wonder when the warriors of your tribes will arrive? You should know that it has been more than five days. Xiao Chen might have gotten wind of it. What if he escapes?"

Iron Mo said this because the moment the imperial command was issued, the tribal warriors from the four Battle Divisions should already have been assembled and ready to fight. However, it was only the Shadow Forest Tribe, which is the closest to the Chaotic Stone Region, that had their three thousand warriors in attendance. The tens of thousands of people outside the stone fortress were just human tribal people or rangers who had hastily gathered upon hearing his command. Furthermore, their combat power was questionable as they consisted mostly of logistical teams.

What he feared most was Xiao Chen abandoning his tribe and escaping on his own. With the Heavenly Horse on his side, who would be able to catch him once he fled? Unexpectedly, the four major tribes seemed to be pretending to accept the command on the surface but secretly violated it.

Thinking of this made Iron Mo’s expression darken a bit. Because of this, he had sent out Qingyu soldiers to investigate the Gu Yuan Tribe, but they did not return, causing the loss of several Qingyu soldiers. Unbeknownst to him, these soldiers under his command had been killed by Xiao Chen. With the Heavenly Horse, what fierce beast in the Great Wasteland could escape his chase?

As the saying goes, the local officials have more sway over the ground they rule than the provincial government does. Although Iron Mo is the Commander appointed by the mid-tier Iron Hoof Tribe to the Giant Stone Valley, he could not effectively command the four major overlord tribes who themselves carry substantial power to devote themselves completely to certain causes. Moreover, Iron Mo’s arrival in the Giant Stone Valley had more to do with aiming at the major tribes rather than just exterminating the exotic clan remnants. After all, considering the Iron Hoof Tribe’s current loss of soldiers and the tribal chief’s severe injury, he had to take precautions against powerful tribes.

Suddenly, a figure stood up from his seat. It was the chieftain of Bear Tribe, Invincible Bear. At this moment, he was dressed in a cyan battle robe with purple gold patterns on the edges. Despite looking like a rugged Great Han, he carried a certain nobility.

Seeing Invincible Bear stand up, all the people below shut their mouths and stopped talking. Some even stepped back involuntarily, trying to avoid being in the vicinity. They were anxious about being dragged into the crossfire of a conflict between a provincial imperial commander and the local snakehead powerful tribes.
