Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 795 - 781

Chapter 795: 781

At the foot of the barren ancient mountain, a group of war soldiers dashes past, raising plumes of dust. Ling the charge is a young warrior, closely followed by several others who gallop along.

"Chief, are... are we heading straight to the Black Mountain Tribe?" While on the move, the young warrior hastily calls to the burly man behind him, displaying a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Yes, since the Black Mountain Tribe has provoked us first, the Gu Yuan Tribe certainly can’t hold back!" The youth strides ahead assertively, his loud response setting the stout man’s teeth on edge, who then spurs his horse forward to keep up.

Ding Shan, kneeling on one knee, gazes up at Xiao Chen on the high platform. More than a decade has passed; despite Xiao Chen’s powerful strength, his appearance has hardly changed. Those were the times he led his fellow tribesmen through battles, storming the Black Mountain Tribe like a hot knife through butter.

The Black Mountain Tribe is now long gone, eroded by the passage of time. But his Gu Yuan Tribe has surged forward, enjoying a high-ranking status among powerful tribes. In contrast, despite his original status as a mere centurion at the Bone-Tempering Realm, he has risen to the fifth level of the Towering Realm. Looking back at his journey, it all feels like a dream, almost another lifetime ago!

Even after so many years, Ding Shan can’t forget that it was right after Xiao Chen became the chief that they carried out their first external conquest, with him at Xiao Chen’s side.

All these years, Ding Shan faithfully has followed Xiao Chen’s footsteps, witnessing Gu Yuan Tribe’s rise under Xiao Chen’s leadership.

"The guardian war masters are the tribe’s backbone, ensuring safety and stability. Headmaster Ding, you being in charge of the War Masters Hall, will provide insights regarding our Guardian War Masters to the elders," ordered Xiao Chen.

"Yes!" Ding Shan gets up, his voice resounding like thunder.

"The War Masters Hall of the Gu Yuan Tribe has a standing army of 350,000 soldiers, all at the Blood Refining Realm.

"We have formed five divine beast battle formations, each consisting of the green dragon, vermilion bird, white tiger, and black tortoise squads. Each of these squads comprises 10,000 Blood Refining Realm warriors, a total of 200,000 Blood Refining Realm soldiers!"

"Additionally, we have also formed ten 10,000-strong war master armies exercising the thousand-men battle formation, with 9,999 warriors as the formation base, forming the Thousand Blood Sword Formation."

"The remaining five 10,000-strong war master armies serve as reserves to replenish the ranks of battle losses."

Ding Shan’s voice, thunderous, echoes through the great hall. After a momentary pause, he continues,"Furthermore, there are tribal warriors and rangers who have joined the tribe recently, forming a total of 100,000 soldiers divided among ten 10,000-strong war master armies."

"To sum up, the Gu Yuan Tribe has a total of 450,000 Blood Refining Realm soldiers and 63 commanders at the Towering Realm!"

With 450,000 guardian war masters, and 63 towering realm high-level war masters commanding them, the Gu Yuan Tribe alone equals several high-quality Human Race Battle Departments in a decade’s worth of accumulation.

This is indeed a formidable force. Moreover, the war masters trained in formations will further enhance their might, enough to resist the campaigns of Divine Princes."

Ding Shan’s words instigated murmurs of discussion among the warriors in the Great Hall. Particularly among those who had recently joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, they had chosen to join the tribe primarily because of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s reputed strength and power. However, when such astounding numbers fell upon the ears of many warriors, the shock was unimaginable!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen also nodded in approval, instructing Ding Shan to return to his position and gesturing to the Grand Elder.

"Next, let me tell you about the Enforcement Hall that I’m in charge of!" Upon Xiao Chen’s nod of approval, the Grand Elder, Tie Shi, began to speak.

"The Enforcement Hall currently has 12 enforcement elders at the Towering Realm that each leads a squad of 1,000 enforcement members. Apart from this, the Enforcement Hall also has 10 enforcement missions, all being Towering Realm warriors, directly commanded by me, with each mission having a scale of 1,000 people."

"Apart from this, our Enforcement Hall also trains over 500 tribal prodigies."

The Grand Elder’s gruff voice resonated deeply. Enforcement Hall was integral to the tribe, wielding significant power, and thus its enforcement soldiers were strictly disciplined and stern-faced.

He summarized, "The total force of our Enforcement Hall comprises 23 Towering Realm war masters and 15,000 enforcement soldiers."

The Enforcement Hall, compared to the might of the War Master Hall, might be considered relatively weak. However, each hall has a different function; one is responsible for external conquests, and the other is responsible for internal inspections and maintaining tribal order.

"The Martial Arts Hall is where our Gu Yuan Tribe stores our martial arts classics and a collection of ancient hand scriptures from within the tribe, which need no further explanation!" The Grand Elder finished speaking, and then Xiao Chen added, "Lin Shan, the master of the Martial Arts Hall, and even the whole secret realm of the Martial Arts Hall have been placed in the Mountain and River Seal Dongtian World. As long as I, Xiao Chen, am here, the martial arts classics within the tribe are assuredly safe."

"Third Elder, let me inform our tribespeople about the wealth our Gu Yuan Tribe has accumulated over these years!"

"Yes!" Third Elder Xiao Tan agreed, rising from his seat.

"First, let’s talk about the population of our Gu Yuan Tribe. After a few days of forcibly absorbing the Human War Tribe outside the Mountain City, the population of our Gu Yuan Tribe has reached 6.5 million people. Among them, there are more than 4.6 million men, while there are less than 2 million women!"

The reason for this imbalance in the ratio of men to women was due to the rampant slaughter by alien races over the past few years. Many tribes were harassed by aliens, even engaging in bloody battles, and the elderly, weak, and women were the groups most easily slaughtered by aliens.

Besides many tribes dragging families along, rushing to migrate, the old and weak were also the most likely to die. Additionally, when Xiao Chen ordered the many elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe to absorb other low-quality battle departments, he deliberately chose tribes with many strong warriors to absorb. This resulted in a severe imbalance in the ratio of men to women within the Gu Yuan Tribe after forcibly absorbing many tribes. This, however, was what Xiao Chen wanted to see.

Third Elder Xiao Tan looked somewhat tired. In just a few days, the population of the tribe had doubled. All the warriors who were incorporated into the tribe needed to be settled by his Internal Affairs Hall, and the daily needs of the millions of citizens within the entire tribe still required the management of his Internal Affairs Hall.

"In addition to that, my Internal Affairs Hall has ten elders in the Towering Realm and hundreds of stewards at the Blood Refining Realm Perfection level. There is also a Guard Tribe Soldiers of 10,000 strong!"

After the Internal Affairs Hall was the Guardian Hall, the guardian hall master, Huang Liang, stood up at the urging of the Grand Elder.

"My Guardian Hall, responsible for maintaining the safety of the tribe, has two battle divisions of 10,000 men, and ten elders in the Towering Realm."

Next was the Hundred Herbs Hall. However, the two hall masters of the Hundred Herbs Hall were Mu Qing and Nianhua, the two wives of the chieftain of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The two women were sitting close to Xiao Chen at the moment. They looked at each other and Mu Qing began speaking.

"Our Hundred Herbs Hall now has 530 junior alchemists, 43 senior alchemists, and five grand alchemists. In addition, the Spirit Medicine Secret Realm has been completely reclaimed, with a million acres of medicinal fields opened. The Spirit Medicine required by the practitioners in the Bone Tempering and Blood Refining realms of our tribe can fully supply themselves. Even the Spirit Medicine required by the Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts can also be met to a large extent!"

"Furthermore, the Hundred Herbs Hall also has a thousand spirit plant masters, and tens of thousands of warriors who regularly manage and cultivate spirit medicine and spirit rice. In our secret realm, we have also opened up 500,000 acres of spirit fields for the cultivation of spirit rice, ranging from common spirit rice to terrestrial spirit rice, which is enough for all the warriors of our Gu Yuan Tribe to consume."

Mu Qing’s words made the warriors in the Great Hall listen attentively. The spirit medicine and spirit rice produced by the Hundred Herbs Hall, as well as the elixirs they refined, were intimately related to their cultivation. All the warriors in the hall, from ordinary stewards to high-ranking ones, received their required spirit medicine from the Hundred Herbs Hall.

"In my Divine Weapons Hall, there are a total of 5,300 craftsmen, among which there are 83 grand craftsmen who can forge spirit weapons."

"In the Moon Gazing Hall, we have our guardian beast clan, the dragon blood moon gazing rhinoceros. We have a total of 21,530 beasts in our clan, among which 3,200 are young moon gazing rhinoceroses. There are 18,600 two-star level dragon blood moon gazing rhinoceroses, 630 three-star level moon gazing rhinoceroses, among which 210 are at the peak of the three-star level, and six are at the four-star level!"

"In the Ferocious Beast Secret Realm of the Palace Of The Sacred Beast, we now have three four-star level ferocious beasts, 432 three-star level exotic beasts. As for the two-star level ferocious beasts, they are innumerable!"

After all the hall masters finished their speeches, the master of the War God Temple, Luo Yun Mountain, stood up. The management of the War God Temple had always been very loose, and Xiao Chen gave high autonomy to the War God Temple. However, the supply of resources behind it had never been lacking.

"Clan leader, we now have a total of 3,611 young warriors in the War God Temple. Their bone ages are all under 25 years. Among them, 103 geniuses have been promoted to the Towering Realm, more than 2,500 geniuses have reached the Blood Refining Realm perfect stage, and the rest are in the late-stage Blood Refining Realm."

The hall masters of the major halls, in front of Xiao Chen and the many elders and stewards of the Gu Yuan Tribe, stated the depth of their respective halls one by one. Such a huge power is the total strength that the Gu Yuan Tribe has gathered over the ten years since its founding.

Especially for the elderly who had followed Xiao Chen step by step, they could hardly imagine the grand scene today. Not to mention anything else, just the number of people in the tribe has increased by several hundred times, let alone the strength of the entire tribe.

"Clan leader, all the halls have reported their status, and I have summarized all the strength accumulated by the Gu Yuan Tribe!" After a brief moment, the Grand Elder spoke again, compiling all the strength that the Gu Yuan Tribe had accumulated!

PS Alright, here’s a book recommendation. As mentioned in the previous Chapter, the author of the "Big Lolita" novel has made available a live stream, "Wizarding in Conan’s World." Perhaps some of you, several years ago, have read the author’s "Refining Ghost and Cultivating Immortal." The chieftain remembered reading it...
