Chapter 469: Chapter 454 Kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, Rewards for merits!_1

The setting sun was to the west and the red glow was shining. The entire Sky Wolf Mountain seemed like a heavenly wolf lying on the Desolate Wilds. At the foot of the mountain, there was a constant noise, with flames rising in various places, signaling that some War Soldiers were preparing to cook their meat.

Roughly dressed Great Han men marched towards the depths of Sky Wolf Mountain, ready to enter the depths of the Desolate Mountain Forest to hunt for Blood Food. Some soldiers were pulling huge beasts back from the depths of the forest, leaving a long trail of blood from the deep forest to the side of the Great Camp at the edge of the mountain.

There were some advantages to waging war outside the Desolate Land. They didn’t have to worry about preparing provisions for the march. This Desolate Land was full of mountains and forests, with rivers and lakes scattered about, various beasts were abundant. For the Humans, these beasts were their food.

The ground worked out on the Desolate Land at the moment was densely covered with United Camps. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of camps of various sizes. Around these major camps, and stretching as far as fifty miles out, were towers as high as ten yards. On top of these towers were stationed soldiers whose Blood Qi was rising. They vigilantly observed the surrounding Desolate Mountain Forest conditions.

Coming and going War Soldiers, when looking towards the central Great Camp in the United Camps, all had a hint of awe in their eyes. The central Great Camp covered an area of ten miles. The walls were as high as five yards. There were lookout towers all around and orderly armored soldiers constantly patrolled.

Large green feather eagles were wheeling above. Soldiers stood on the birds. Despite the circling flight of the birds, these soldiers seemed rooted to their spot, as if they merged with the eagles.

This central Great Camp was the camp formed by the three Ten-Thousand Men Leaders from the Gu Yuan Tribe. After several days of travel, the three Ten-Thousand Men Leaders from the Gu Yuan Tribe arrived at the meeting place, Sky Wolf Mountain.

This time, the Gu Yuan Tribe was undoubtedly the protagonist. All the tribes that came would regard the Gu Yuan Battle Division with respect.

In the center of the enormous camp was a tent that was a hundred yards large. At this moment, within the tent, there was a constant buzz of noise. Those who passed by the tent could clearly feel a dense number of Blood Qi, as many as hundreds.

"Silence!"

A sudden roar came from the tent, and the originally noisy voices came to an abrupt stop.

In the tent, almost all the Blood Refining Realm Warriors from each Battle Division were gathered. However, at this moment, the warriors who claimed to be kings among their tribes were tight-faced and pale under the invisible momentum of pressure.

This was pressure from life order. Xiao Chen sat at the head of the tent. To his left were the Blood Refining Realm Warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe. To his right were the Blood Refining Realm Warriors from the vassal Battle Divisions under his command.

"Greetings to the Supreme Tribal Leader and Chief of the Battle Division!"

Suddenly, a group of warriors to his right stood up and bowed to Xiao Chen, shouting simultaneously.

"You chiefs need not be overly courteous!" Xiao Chen raised his right hand, indicating to many warriors not to be overly polite.

He casually scanned all the warriors, then said plainly

"You all are people who deeply understand the bigger picture. The Turtle Mountain and many other Battle Divisions are outrageous. Externally, they bow to the foreign races, making concessions, losing the Blood Qi of the Human Race. Internally, they bully their fellow blood relatives, rampant in many Battle Divisions, massively exploiting their own people."

"Our Gu Yuan Tribe established the destiny of the race, gaining the recognition of the Human Race Group. It can control tens of thousands of miles of Desolate Land. In the face of the day and the moon, the destiny of the race is vast. Turtle Mountain and other Battle Divisions ignore the righteousness of the Human Race and blatantly attack our Gu Yuan Tribe. This is a challenge to the dignity of the entire Human Race Group. This time, Gu Yuan Tribe is upholding justice, it is to rescue thousands of brothers from the Sea of Suffering!"

"Exactly, Turtle Mountain Battle Division relies on its strong power, doesn’t take our Human Battle Divisions seriously. Even though we, the Battle Divisions at the edge of the nearby territories, tribute Medicinal Herbs, mine veins, and Treasured Blood to them every year. But when we are ravaged by these beasts, they ignore us!"

Turtle Mountain and the other tribes have very ugly looks. They reap the offerings of many Battle Divisions, but do not protect the safety of their tribes. No wonder these Battle Divisions are full of resentment.

"Not only that, if our Battle Divisions can’t gather the materials needed for tribute, we could even face the risk of extermination. Young women are captured and enslaved. Men become their slaves!"

"For thousands of years, the great tribes in this central region’s many crimes are too numerous to record. They lose their courage in the face of foreign races, but to us, the same race, they are as fierce as wild beasts. Please Chief, stand up for us!"

Many Battle Division Chiefs were excited, as if they wanted to vent the resentment they’d held for many years. Suddenly, the newly appointed leader of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Ding Shan, spoke.

"Chiefs, our Gu Yuan Tribe received the mandate from the Race Group, announced to the Great Wasteland, established the destiny of the race, and will uphold the will of the ancestors of the Human Race, to protect the descendants of the Human Race!"

Finally, after a wave of excitement, everyone’s mood calmed down. They didn’t say much, waiting for the Imperial Command of the Supreme Tribe Leader.

In the head seat, Xiao Chen was silent, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the chair. Just like that, a round of strange calm fell over the tent, leaving only the sound of Xiao Chen’s fingers tapping the armrest.

After a while, Xiao Chen still didn’t speak, his eyes half closed, seeming to be thinking about something. At this point, many Battle Division Chiefs seemed to sense something unusual. Their eyebrows were even glistening with sweat, and some Battle Division Chiefs of weaker power couldn’t help but tremble.

"Gentlemen, without regulation, nothing can be accomplished! For our Human Battle Divisions, sacrifices and conquests are of utmost importance. Sacrifices are the commemoration of our heroic ancestors. Conquests are even more significant. Weapons and battle gear are crucial to the rise and fall, existence, and extinction of the tribe!"

Finally, Xiao Chen opened his half-closed eyes. A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he said, "So, it is a basic requirement to prohibit the act of conquest by issuing an express order. Elder Qiu Hu!"

"I am here!" Qiu Hu rose to his feet, filled with a fierce aura.

"Do you confess your crime? When did the tribe’s order call for the gathering of troops? Did you take the tribe’s orders as a joke, and not hand them over to the Chiefs?"

"I dare not! According to the chief’s order, I informed all the other Battle Divisions to gather under Sky Wolf Mountain at noon today to discuss important matters!"

"When our Gu Yuan Battle Division casts the destiny of the race and establishes the Clan Stele, the names of 135 lower-ranked Battle Divisions are inscribed on it. Have you transmitted the chief’s orders to all the Battle Divisions without omission? Was any of the Battle Divisions overlooked?"

"Gu Yuan cast the destiny of the race and gained the allegiance of 135 lower-ranked Battle Divisions. How could I not know! The chief’s orders were passed on without any omission to all the allied Battle Divisions. Not a single one was left out!"

"Since the sun is up, my clan’s imperial decree clearly states what, yet there are some who dare to defy the decisions made by our war division. Do they not consider me in their eyes? Do they not consider our Gu Yuan War Division in their eyes?"

Xiao Chen’s words were mild, not showing any signs of anger, but the temperature in the entire tent seemed to drop all of a sudden, as if ice shards were forming in the air, giving off a cold chill that seeped into one’s bones.

Among the many tribal leaders of the war divisions, several warriors were sweating profusely, their bodies shivering uncontrollably. Eventually, several figures flashed into the center of the tent, kneeling down, pleading loudly.

"Lord of the Upper Tribe, our tribe is simply too far from here, the Great Wasteland is extremely dangerous and travel is arduous, it is not intentional that we defy the orders of the War Division. Please, Lord, show mercy, we are willing to lead our War Masters, to serve as vanguard of the army!"

Looking at the nine warriors sprawling at his feet, Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent. He asked, "Ten-Thousand Men Leader Ding Shan, what should be done with those who disobey military orders?"

Ding Shan’s expression showed neither happiness nor sorrow, even as the nine warriors sprawled in front of him, pleading incessantly.

"Those who disobey orders, execute!"

What!

Everyone was shocked at once. Just because they delayed the assembling of the army, they were going to be executed as a warning to others. It was clear that they were trying to set an example.

Phew!

In the tent, a flash of bloody light illuminated, and before anyone could blink, nine large human heads shot into the sky. Bizarrely, there was not a single trace of blood splatter. The warriors that were killed had their bodies covered in a layer of white ice crystals.

Even the severed heads flying in the air were covered in brilliant ice crystals, their faces frozen in horrified expressions of their last moments, executed before they could even react.

It was Xue Sha nearby who had taken action! A chill permeated the area, freezing the void.

"This....this...."

Everyone was shell-shocked. Nine Blood Refining Realm Warriors had been so brutally executed right before their eyes, a sensation they could hardly comprehend. Blood Refining Realm Warriors were peak combat power for any lower-tier war division, individuals capable of supporting an entire lower-tier division with their immense strength. Yet, they were cut down without a chance to fight back.

Even so, not a single warrior stepped forward to object, for the gap between the ranks of the various tribes has them separated from the Gu Yuan Tribe by a chasm too wide to bridge.

This is not just a gap between the strongest fighters, but also between the resources of the tribes. In the Great Wasteland, top-tier medium war divisions can boast up to one million direct disciples, territory spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, and an army of a hundred thousand War Masters.

But even the best lower-tier War Divisions can muster up only ten thousand War Masters at most. It’s not just a difference in quality, but the quantity as well. Even if the Gu Yuan Tribe hasn’t grown into a top-tier medium war division, it’s still not something they can resist. The innate superior status makes it even impossible for them to resist, not to mention they have already submitted to the Gu Yuan War Division and are bound by its rules.

Then War Soldiers entered the tent and carried away the bodies, making the earlier scene seem like a dream.

"Ten Thousand Men Leader Ding Shan, momentarily arrange for the War Masters under these nine men to be led by the Thousand Men Leader of my Gu Yuan Tribe. If anyone disobeys the order, kill!"

"It shall be done!"

The two Thousand Men Leaders who came with Chief Xihuai of the Fengxi War Tribe glanced at each other, silently wiping away the cold sweat from their brows. Secretly attributing their luck to the wisdom of their Chief who had faced opposition from everyone but immediately led their tribe to Sky Wolf Mountain upon receiving the decree.

"Gentlemen, my Gu Yuan War Division values both warfare merits and clearly defined rewards and punishments."

Looking at the somewhat pale faces of the tribal chiefs, Xiao Chen knew that he had already established his authority and decided not to take any more extreme actions. He then said, "This time for the assembly at Sky Wolf Mountain, Phoenix Creek War tribe came the earliest and even set up a great camp and defense for the allied forces. Wherever there is punishment, there should also be a reward!"

"Chief Xihuai!"

"I am here!"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, the Chief of the Phoenix Creek War tribe, Xihuai, hurriedly stood up in response.

"This bottle contains a Martial Arts Great Pill, which can help a Perfect Bone Tempering Realm Warrior break into the Blood Refining Realm, consider it as a reward for your Phoenix Creek War Tribe this time!"

Xiao Chen tossed a jade bottle towards Xihuai.

What!

The next moment, everyone was staring intently at the jade bottle in Xihuai’s hands. No one doubted Xiao Chen’s words, that concerned the reputation of a medium-tier war division. Chen would not risk the reputation of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe for a single pill.

A Blood Refining Realm Warrior is a desired asset for any lower-tier war division. To think a pill could bring them an additional Blood Refining Realm Warrior, if that was true, this pill is enough to be passed down as a treasure of the tribe.

When a tribe could no longer produce Blood Refining Realm Warriors, this Great Pill of Martial Arts would be enough to ensure the succession and propagation of the tribe, keeping it from turning into a nomadic tribe wandering everywhere.

Ps. No Chapter today, because the upcoming battle scenes require some thoughtful planning. I’m not quite sure how to write it
