Outside the city, the God-blessed Tribe began to set up camp on the spot, chopping wood to make fire, hunting and barbecuing.

Wu Yue walked down the city wall with a heavy expression.

The food that had been stored had been eaten up during the snowy season, breeding had not yet been carried out on a large scale, and the crops in the fields were still a long way from being harvested.

The food they have now is barely enough for the entire tribe to eat for about five days, and they have to eat frugally.

Although it is possible to go into the woods not surrounded by city walls for gathering and hunting, there are still few edible plants growing there, and the animals there are mostly birds and rodents, which have little meat and are difficult to kill.

Although the fish in the river can barely provide a subsidy, there are only so many wild fish. Once they are caught, they will be gone, and the food will not last long.

Therefore, it is not a good idea to hide in the city blindly. It won’t be long before you really starve to death, and the battle with the Blessed Tribe is inevitable.

His weapons were slightly better, but the other side had more people. If they fought head-on, even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, with many casualties, which was a consequence he absolutely did not want to see.

You can't attack by force, you must use your wits.

Although he was confused in his heart, he did not show it on his face. The people of this tribe regarded him as a messenger of God and their spiritual support, so he must not show any worry or anxiety.

Facing the worried expressions of the tribesmen, he could only smile and say, "It's okay. They're coming with about the same number of people as us, and their weapons aren't as good as ours. We have the city walls for protection, so there's no need to be afraid of them."

But even if he said so, only a few people were really relieved. Most people knew in their hearts that a group of tough opponents had come from outside the city.

Food is necessary anyway. After arranging people to collect and hunt in the woods, Wu Yue called several managers to a meeting in the small house.

"Actually, I have an idea." He looked at Ma Tian, ​​"Ma Wu is on their side, so we can send the Dama people out to pretend to surrender. If we can take this opportunity to kill Black Wolf, they will be leaderless, making it easier for us to attack."

"No way." Ma Wei interrupted, "Ma Wu is very smart, he won't believe it. Even if we go there, we can only meet Ma Wu, not Black Wolf."

Wu Yue nodded. "That's generally the case, but what if this Dama people brought something Black Wolf really wanted? For example, me."

"No!" This time it was Xiao who spoke. He frowned and repeated in a firm tone, "No!"

Others also echoed: "No, Divine Messenger, I don't agree with you going either!"

"This is too dangerous, Divine Messenger, I can't let you go!"

"I don't agree either. The messenger of God can't go!"

In fact, Wu Yue didn't want to go at all. The look in the black wolf's eyes made him feel sick, and he was also quite afraid of death. But there was nothing he could do!

As the ancients said, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If he can kill Black Wolf, many things will be much easier afterwards.

"God's messenger, it's useless even if you go." A cold voice sounded. It turned out to be Ma Zong. After this guy came back, he became a team leader and was also a manager. He just didn't speak much in meetings.

He rarely spoke up at this point, analyzing, "Are you planning to kill Black Wolf, Messenger of God? What weapon will you use? How will you carry it? How will you hide if someone searches you? Black Wolf is so much stronger than you. If you can't kill him with one strike, how are you going to fight him?"

Uh... Wu Yue choked and found that he couldn't even answer his own question.

The disparity in combat power was indeed insurmountable. After all, he was just an ordinary modern man who didn't exercise or learn any martial arts. He couldn't compare with the black wolf who had been hunting for years and could become a leader.

It would be terrible if you couldn't kill the opponent with one blow and were instead taken hostage by him.

Ma Zong changed the subject: "But this method is feasible. The Ma tribe all know my previous loyalty to Ma Wu. If I come forward, he should be more trusting."

"Ma Zong...it's too risky! You didn't follow Ma Wu at that time, how could he still trust you?" Wu Yue frowned.

Ma Zong smiled and said, "My sister went with him. He will believe an anxious brother."

Wu Yue was stunned. No one had told him about this. Thinking of Ma Wu's current miserable state, he felt a little uncomfortable. Even the respected Great Witch was like this. Ma Zong's sister must be no better than Ma Wu.

"This is the path she chose herself. She should bear the consequences no matter what the outcome is." Ma Zong said calmly, but the knuckles of his clenched fists turned white from the exertion.

Wu Yue nodded and said nothing.

He did not feel guilty. When he drove out the Ma Wu, all the Malaysians could choose to leave or stay, and he gave them a chance.

Sending Ma Zong should be able to contact Ma Wu, but...

"But like Ma Wei said, even if you gain the trust of Ma Wu, you may not be able to see Black Wolf. Ma Wu doesn't seem to have any status in the Sharp Tooth Tribe." Wu Yue frowned, thinking of other ways.

Seeing that Wu Yue had given up the idea of ​​leaving the city, Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately said, "Our city wall only surrounds the direction without mountains and trees. We can have Ma Zong pretend to lead his men in from the woods and launch a surprise attack. We have set an ambush and trap in advance and kill them directly in the woods!"

This was a good idea. Wu Yue nodded, but then added, "But since it's a surprise attack, they should only send a small team. Black Wolf, as the leader, may not be among them. Killing just one team won't hurt them at all."

Yes, everyone nodded.

Ma Zong spoke again, "That Black Wolf seems to be a very conceited man. I can tell him that the Divine Emissary has already planned an escape route. If the attackers aren't strong enough, the Divine Emissary will be able to escape easily. Then perhaps he will lead a team here. It's obvious that he really wants the Divine Emissary."

Xiao snorted coldly.

Wu Yue scratched his head awkwardly, thinking that what Ma Zong said made sense, so he said, "I think it's worth a try, but first we have to successfully gain the other party's trust. So, Ma Zong, go tell Ma Wu that we plan to..."

Wu Yue proposed a simple plan, and everyone present agreed that it was feasible. They were all primitive people, and since they thought it was feasible, Black Wolf should also believe it. Wu Yue gained some confidence.

That night, a small amount of food was distributed within the Sharp Teeth Tribe, but the aroma of barbecue wafted from the Divine Blessing Tribe's base outside the city. The smell was even carried into the city by the wind, making everyone salivate with greed.

"Tsk, what a barbarian! This meat doesn't smell like any spices at all, it's awful fishy!" Shi curled his lips in disdain as he sipped the broth. "It doesn't even have chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, or onions. It must be terrible!"

"That's right, it smells bad!"

"How can the food made by the barbarians compare to our broth? Come on, have another bowl!"

Listening to them comforting themselves like this, Wu Yue felt both amused and sad. He just hoped that the plan would succeed and that these damned God-blessed tribes would go back to their homeland.

That night, people from both tribes inside and outside the city were asleep, but someone secretly climbed up the city wall with a bundle of hemp ropes, slid down the wall, and slowly approached the Shenyou tribe.

"Who is it!?" The Sharp Fang Tribe had guards, and the Divine Blessing Tribe naturally had guards as well. They were discovered as soon as they got close to the horse's mane.

"I am from the Dama tribe, and I want to see our chief witch." Ma Zong opened his arms to show that he was not carrying any weapons. He was not afraid of the sharp weapons in front of him and spoke calmly.

The guards didn't know what to do and went back to report to Black Wolf.

Inside the largest tent of the God's Blessing Tribe, Black Wolf was enjoying being kissed by a gorgeous woman. Suddenly, he heard the guard coming to report. He smiled and pushed the woman away: "Little darling, wait a moment."

The woman snorted softly, stood up, and began to eat the barbecue. Black Wolf turned around and asked the guards to bring the visitor and the horse witch over.

Ma Zong entered the tent first. Although he saw the black wolf, he was suppressed by two guards and had no weapons on him, so he could not take any action.

As soon as he came in, he saw a naked man and woman in the light of the copper brazier in the tent, and he couldn't help but frown.

Ma Wu soon came over. He lowered his head and knelt respectfully in front of the black wolf: "Chief."

"Ma Wu, look up at the person next to you. Do you recognize him?" Black Wolf said to Ma Wu in a seemingly gentle tone, playing with a small copper knife.

Only then did Ma Wu dare to look up. Seeing that it was horse mane, he was delighted at first, then frowned: "Horse mane!"

Ma Zong was once loyal to him, but when he was expelled, he chose to stay in the Sharp Tooth Tribe, which made him secretly hate him for a long time.

Ma Zong nodded to him and asked, "Great Witch, where is my sister?"

Ma Wu felt a pang of fear in his heart. The woman had long ago died of cold and hunger on the road, and it was only with the help of her corpse that they managed to survive the most difficult days.

But of course he couldn't tell the truth. He sighed and said sadly, "She's dead. After we were driven out, the weather kept getting colder, and she got sick from the cold. I wanted to save her, but I had no medicine. Oh, if only I had those magical medicines that Wu Yue, the Divine Envoy, had."

Ma Zong's heart sank, and he didn't know whether he should be sad.

What if? If she hadn't followed Ma Wu out, she would still be living well in the Sharp Tooth Tribe, making a living by weaving or gathering.

But he said: "It's good to go out with you. I can die freely, unlike us-"

Ma Wu's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "Is the Dama tribe having a hard time in the Sharp Tooth Tribe?"

Ma Zong nodded and began to recite Wu Yue's lies: "Wu Yue said that he would decide whether to let us officially join the Sharp Fang Tribe based on our performance, so he assigned us a lot of heavy work, such as cleaning toilets and making a lot of mud bricks every day in addition to the necessary work.

The food we were given was very little, and it was all rotten and smelly. We were made to rush in front during the hunt, but when the good things were distributed, we didn't get any. The people of the Sharp Fang Tribe were given small houses, so we had to squeeze into one big house.

We thought that if we behaved well we could join the Sharp Fang Tribe, so we endured it all the time. But he kept going too far. In the winter, they all slept in the house, but he made us wear tattered furs and brave the cold wind to make mud bricks and build the city wall. Otherwise, how could the city wall be built so quickly?

Ma Wu secretly curled his lips. Is that it? It was much better than what he had experienced in the God's Blessed Tribe.

Black Wolf was also surprised. In his eyes, the Malaysians were no different from slaves. They were just lowly slaves. It was already very merciful to use them in this way.

However, this was a good opportunity to win over Ma Zong, so he winked at Ma Wu.

Ma Wu quickly grabbed Ma Zong's arm and said earnestly, "Ma Zong, you've suffered! The Dama tribe has suffered! Don't worry, when the great Divine Blessing Tribe attacks the Sharp Tooth Tribe, our Dama tribe will be able to live a good life!"

Ma Zong looked at the scarred, bony hand grasping his sturdy arm and said, "Great Witch, with your words, our Dama tribe will definitely help. We must make that liar Wu Yue pay the price. I came here this time to tell you that they plan to..."
