Chapter 1099: 496: Cultivation Breakthrough Again! Harm Goufu!_3

That night!

Ali’s husband Goufu, the chieftain’s wife’s brother, finally got his comeuppance.

He had humiliated Suo Mo several times and threatened to take the little girl as a side dish.

Because his wife wouldn’t let him touch her, Goufu was incredibly angry. He went to the tavern to drink and then looked for wild women.

The so-called wild women were not actually women from the wild but were women in the tribe who were unmarried or widowed and sold their bodies for money.

That night, back home, Goufu suddenly found an unbearable itch below.

When he unfastened his pants to look, he discovered his manhood covered in spots, already beginning to fester.

Terrified, he beat the wild woman almost to death and hurried to the shaman Goru for treatment, pleading with him to keep it secret.

After extorting some money from him, Goru began the treatment.

However, it was a virus, something beyond Goru’s ability to cure.

Goufu could only watch helplessly as his manhood rotted away completely, knowing the only way to survive was to cut it off entirely!

Every day afterward, he suffered terrible torment—pain and intense itching that were completely unbearable.

...

The next morning!

Chief Constantine assembled all the centurions and above from the tribe for a pre-battle mobilization.

Of course, centurions from the Foreign Tribe Army were not qualified to attend; only Suo Mo and Du Yan were eligible to join the meeting inside the castle.

"Our entire tribe consists of sixteen thousand warriors," Constantine said. "I will personally lead ten thousand warriors to attack the Wild Horse Tribe, leaving six thousand behind to defend the tribe under my wife’s command."

"Yes!" the gathered Barbarian Tribe commanders shouted in unison.

Some might wonder why the entire Chimera Tribe, with only fifty to sixty thousand people, has an army of sixteen thousand.

This is quite normal, as the Barbarian Tribes are much like the nomadic peoples of ancient China, where almost everyone is a soldier.

"This battle concerns the honor of our Chimera Tribe, it concerns our destiny," Constantine declared. "If defeated, we will not only lose the Falling Horse Mountain Range but also all fear from our enemies, who will pounce on us madly, devouring us."

"Therefore, this is our battle of destiny!" Constantine said gravely.

"Victory is assured!" Du Yan immediately shouted.

Then, everyone else followed with a shout: "Victory, victory!"

Constantine pointed to his daughter Nini’an beside him and said, "This time, Nini’an will also go to battle with me. She is not young anymore, and many might think I would marry her to a minor chieftain from another tribe. Let me make it clear here: Nini’an is the apple of my eye, the flower of our tribe, and I would never allow her to marry out. I will only choose her husband from within the tribe."

Upon hearing this, not only Du Yan but all the young elites’ eyes lit up, looking at Nini’an with determination.

Only three are qualified to compete for marrying Nini’an.

The captain of the Gryphon Knights, the tribe’s cavalry leader, and the Foreign Tribe Army’s second-in-command, Du Yan.

Among these three young elites, Du Yan is the most skilled in martial arts, the most handsome in appearance, but the lowest in status.

Chief Constantine continued, "I have decided that in this battle, whoever makes the greatest military achievements will marry my daughter!"

Upon hearing this, the whole place erupted, and flames seemed to ignite instantly in Du Yan’s eyes.

In the Barbaric Wilderness, military achievements are defined by the number of enemy heads—heads equal military achievements!

Nini’an, he’s determined to win her! This flower of the tribe, Du Yan must marry her!

...

Meanwhile!

Lanling and Dina, who were not qualified to attend the meeting in the castle, stayed in the military camp’s cave!

Lanling was soon to take up a post in the Foreign Tribe Army as deputy centurion. Tomorrow morning, he would set out to battle the Wild Horse Tribe with the main force.

This time, the Foreign Tribe Army would dispatch eight hundred men, leaving three hundred to guard the base.

To care for the little girl and stay behind to guard the tribe, Dina would not go to battle.

Dina handed a large bow to Lanling and said, "This is an eight-hundred-pound strong bow, my most cherished weapon. I hope you can kill many enemies and establish a reputation in the army. Remember, in the Barbaric Wilderness, heads mean military achievements; everything is about heads. After killing the enemy, remember to cut off their ears; each right ear represents a merit."

Lanling nodded and said, "I will try my best to collect heads, to earn enough Gold Coins to buy beautiful clothes for you and little Yaya."

Dina said, "Only by achieving enough military merits can you establish a reputation in the army. Remember, don’t fall too far behind your second brother, Du Yan!"
