Everyone on the ground subconsciously looked at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu sighed inwardly.

There was still much she needed to teach her subordinates. She wanted to let go, to just focus on the overall situation, without having to do all the hard work herself. But she had a long way to go.

She raised her chin towards Leng and said, "I am the leader. What do you want to say?"

Not only was it cold, but all the people in the trap who had originally had wooden faces now showed expressions of disbelief.

The leader of the Dragon Tribe is a woman?

"Are you the leader?" Leng confirmed again.

"yes."

Leng looked at Ming, then at Mu Guan and the others. Seeing that they all looked normal, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he couldn't dwell on this issue any longer. Whether a woman was a woman or not was not a problem that needed to be solved urgently.

He directly stated his conditions: "If you want us to surrender, fine. But you must meet a few of our conditions. Otherwise, we would rather die than be tortured any further."

Qiao Yu didn't answer his question, staring intently at the others: "Do you all think the same as him? Would you rather die if your conditions aren't met?"

She asked this question to see if the people below were united. If they were united and harbored hostility or resistance toward the Dragon Tribe, it would be much more difficult to subjugate them. She needed to carefully consider how to accommodate these captives.

The number of captives was twice that of her own tribe. She was under great pressure and would lose everything if she was not careful.

Fortunately, the captives were composed of two tribes, the God Tribe and the Shanyin Tribe. Furthermore, the people of the God Tribe were not kind to the Shanyin Tribe, so even if they were very resistant to the Dragon Tribe, they could still restrain each other. Add in the women and children, and it would be a three-way restraint.

The people looked at each other, no one spoke. Silence reigned within the trap.

Ming became anxious when he saw it.

Although these people had previously opposed him in the Shanyin Tribe, those who sided with him had followed him to the Dragon Tribe. After all, they were once from the same tribe. He was a soft-hearted person who hated to see others suffer. He hoped that these people would honestly surrender, become members of the Dragon Tribe, and live a good life.

He began to lobby everyone earnestly.

But I don’t know if the people below had discussed it privately during the time when the people from the Dragon Tribe were busy dealing with the God Tribe. No matter what Ming said, they remained silent, as if following Leng Ma’s lead.

While Ming was talking, Qiao Yu walked aside and discussed with several team leaders how to detain the captives of the Divine Tribe.

Leng became anxious when he saw her disappear from his sight.

The Dragon Tribe could afford to delay, but they couldn't. Some of the weaker ones were already frozen to the point of freezing.

He interrupted Ming's unending speech: "After saying so much, can you make the decision?"

Seeing that Leng was willing to talk, Ming was not annoyed by the interruption, but felt a little happy.

He shook his head and said, "I can't make the decision. In our Dragon Tribe, everything is subject to the arrangements of our leader, Qiao Yu."

"That woman just now?"

Hearing the indifference in the cold words, Shanshi was not happy. He glared and said, "What's wrong with being a woman? Yu is the smartest and most powerful person in the world."

He sneered, but didn't argue with the rocks. Since the Dragon Tribe obeyed that woman, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to offend her now. After all, they were still at the bottom of the pit, keeping company with the ice and snow.

He ignored the rocks and said to Ming Dao, "I have a few conditions. First, we..." He gestured around him, "We must have the same food, clothing, and shelter as you do. We'll also have as much dried meat as you normally get. We'll live wherever you live. There can be no discrimination."

Everyone standing near the trap frowned.

Not only these people, but even they themselves, not every family lived the same way. More work, more pay; less work, less pay. Some people in the tribe, either due to laziness or heavy burdens, lived worse off than others.

Besides, the people of the Stone Tribe had been captives for six months, and their treatment at the time was incomparable to that of the Valley Tribe. The Shanyin Tribe people Ming brought with him were all cramped when they first arrived. They only built their own houses brick by brick, eventually settling into spacious dwellings. As for food, even Ming himself went hungry for a while.

Leng and his group have not made any contribution to the tribe, but they want to have ready-made houses to live in and eat as much dried meat as them. Are they dreaming?

Leng Wuzi continued, "Second, we, the Shanyin tribe, must live together and cannot be separated. Third, I want to be the elder of the tribe and have a certain degree of decision-making power over major tribal affairs, rather than just following your orders."

Everyone in the Dragon Tribe: "..."

What a big tone! He even calls himself an elder. Who does he think he is?

Living together was out of the question. Yu's principle had always been "divide and conquer separately." Didn't you see them working alongside brothers from different tribes during the day and living side by side with them at night? Didn't they get along better than those within their own tribe? The harmonious coexistence and solidarity they enjoyed were all the result of the principle of dispersion.

Yu had said they were all from the Dragon Tribe. Once inside, there was no longer any distinction between the Valley Tribe, the Stone Tribe, or the Mountain Tribe. Within the Dragon Tribe, all were brothers.

"Ming, go tell your leader what I said. As long as she agrees, I will make sure all the people of our Shanyin Tribe behave themselves, and I will also help you suppress those bastards from the Shen Tribe."

Qiao Yu's five senses were sharper than most people's. Although she was some distance away and still talking to the team leaders, she heard Leng's words.

She sneered in her heart, jumped on her horse, and drove straight towards the tribe.

It seemed these people hadn't been cold enough yet and needed a little more cooling. She decided to go into the tribe and check where the prisoners were being held.

As the snowy season arrived, the temperature dropped. To save manpower, resources, and fodder, Mang killed all the rabbits except for the thirty he kept for breeding. Some froze in the snow, while others were made into jerky. So the house where the rabbits used to be kept was left empty.

These houses are far away from the tribal residential area, and are very sturdy and suitable for holding prisoners.

Qiao Yu planned to detain these prisoners in batches, brainwash them one by one, and then conduct labor reform. He would then select the best-performing ones and incorporate them into the tribe, reunite them with their wives and children, become new members of the tribe, and disperse them into various teams.

Everything follows the original process of subduing the Stone Tribe.

Among them, the conflict between the Shen tribe and the Shanyin tribe can be appropriately utilized.
