Chapter 222: Those who betray the tribe will die

Before leaving, Jiang Xuan called Shan Jia aside.

"Chief Xuan, is there anything else?"

"Chief Shanjia, the fact that you took the initiative to come and help this time is enough to prove the deep friendship between the Teng Tribe and the Shangui Tribe, so I want to give you a suggestion."

"What suggestions?"

"I believe you have also seen that the planting and breeding of the Teng tribe has developed very rapidly. Now, even if we don't go hunting, we can ensure that we have a sufficient supply of food every day."

When the pangolin heard Jiang Xuan's words, he was immediately surprised. Getting enough food without hunting was an extremely huge temptation for any tribe.

Because the harvest from hunting is not stable, it depends on strength, luck, and the weather.

Not only that, casualties among soldiers during hunting are common, and many outstanding soldiers are killed in hunting operations every year.

If enough food can be obtained without hunting, the tribe's population will not be consumed so quickly, and the tribe will naturally be able to grow faster.

Shanjia's eyes lit up, and he excitedly grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand: "Chief Xuan, we want to learn planting and breeding!"

"Don't get excited." Jiang Xuan pulled his hand back with great effort. He was not as good as Long Yang. He felt very awkward having his hand held by a rough man.

"Since I have told you this, I will naturally teach you some planting and breeding techniques. I just hope that when the Mountain Turtle Tribe grows stronger in the future, you will not forget the kindness of the Vine Tribe."

"Of course not. I swear to the Turtle God that the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Vine Tribe will always be the best allies and will never betray each other."

The tribesmen have great respect for the totem gods and worship them fanatically, and they rarely break their promises once they make to the totem gods.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Leader Panther, there is no need to do this. I believe in you."

"Then...learning about planting and breeding..."

"No problem. You can select a few calm warriors to stay in the Teng Tribe for a while. I will have the planting and breeding teams teach them the techniques. As for how much they can learn, it depends on them."

Shan Jia said excitedly: "Okay, I'll go choose someone right away!"

Shanjia went to pick people in a hurry.

In fact, as a once large tribe, the Shangui tribe also mastered some planting and breeding techniques.

However, the technology they once mastered was very backward and the output was extremely low, which was far inferior to the technology of the Teng Tribe.

Shanjia picked twenty people and called them together. He said with a serious face: "You stay in the Teng tribe to learn planting and breeding techniques. This is related to whether our Shangui tribe can return to the central part of the Southern Wilderness in the future. You must study hard. Do you understand?"

"Know!"

"Okay, stay in the Teng tribe, do more work, and don't be lazy. We can't let others look down on our Mountain Turtle tribe. If I find out that someone is lazy, you'll see how I'll deal with him!"

After saying that, Shanjia brought the people to Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Xuan arranged them to the planting team and the breeding team.

Afterwards, the Mountain Turtle Tribe set out on their journey home. During this time, the Mountain Guardian kept looking back at the Teng Tribe, with great expectations for the tribesmen who stayed behind.

This expectation is not for himself, but for the entire Mountain Turtle Tribe!

…

After sending the Mountain Turtle Tribe off, Jiang Xuan returned to his own yard.

He stood by the pool and whispered, "Now that the external tribal issues have been resolved, it's time to resolve the internal issues."

After saying this, his face turned cold and his whole body exuded a terrible chill.

During the tribal war, some people from the Teng tribe took advantage of the chaos to escape, without caring about the life and death of the tribe at all.

This is desertion from the battlefield, this is betrayal of the entire tribe, the nature is extremely bad, the crime should be punished! If Jiang Xuan does not care about these people and does not let them pay the price, then every time the tribe is in crisis in the future, more people will choose to abandon the tribe.

Jiang Xuan would never allow this to happen! Jiang Xuan waited by the pool for a while, and Feng Cao came in.

"Chief, we have checked carefully. Those who defected did not go far. Some of them even shamelessly wanted to come back after seeing that the tribe was fine."

Jiang Xuan sneered, "Come back? They should come back, otherwise how can they apologize to the entire tribe?"

"Fengcao, I'll let Uncaria and Stone Eel cooperate with you. I have only one request: capture all the defectors!"

"I want everyone to understand that those who desert the battlefield will die, and those who betray the tribe will die!"

"yes!"

Fengcao straightened his back and turned around to contact Uncaria rhynchophylla and Stone loach.

Soon after, Hunting Team One and Hunting Team Two were dispatched to capture the defectors based on the information from the Thorn Vine.

The entire Teng tribe was suddenly in chaos.

At the north gate of Teng tribe, a man and a woman were making a scene.

"We are members of the Teng tribe. Why can't you let us in?"

"Exactly, why do you stop us?"

The men and women tried desperately to squeeze in through the door, but were stopped by the guards and could not enter.

One of the guards said, "This is the leader's order. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Teng Tribe these days!"

The woman shouted, "Then let us go to see the chief, we want to see the chief!"

Just when the guards were getting tired of it, Gouteng appeared with a hunting team of soldiers.

Uncaria walked to the door and said coldly, "Let them in!"

The guard turned around and looked at Uncaria, and said in embarrassment: "But, the leader said that no one is allowed to enter or leave these days..."

Gou Teng said: "I just came back from the leader. It was the leader's order to let them in."

"this……"

The guard soldier hesitated, because he knew very well that Uncaria had a high status in the Teng tribe and had a special relationship with the leader.

Just then, Nanxing also appeared.

"Listen to Chief Uncaria and let them come out."

"yes!"

Since the leader said so, the guards had nothing to fear and they all made way.

The man and woman were immediately proud. They knew that the divine vine had revived and that the Vine Tribe had defeated the Wild Boar Tribe. After returning, they could continue to enjoy the good life in the Vine Tribe.

They glared at the guards, then walked into the gate triumphantly.

However, when they passed through the door in the vine wall and came into the tribe, they saw Hooked Vine waving his hand, and a dozen warriors from the hunting team immediately rushed towards them.

"What? What do you want to do?"

The woman stepped back and asked shrill questions, but it was of no use. Several soldiers rushed forward and pinned her to the ground.

The man's face changed drastically. He realized that something was wrong and turned around to run away, but how could he possibly run away?

The guards had disliked him for a long time, and when he came over, they simply blocked him with their spears. The man didn't dare to rush forward again, otherwise he would be stabbed to death.

The hunting team warriors behind rushed over, roughly pushed the man to the ground, and then tied him up with a rope.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

The woman was still questioning loudly, but her tone was already extremely panicked and hysterical.

Uncaria frowned and said, "Too noisy. Shield their mouths and take them to the altar."

"yes!"

The hunting team warriors randomly dug out two pieces of torn animal skins and stuffed them into the mouths of the man and woman. Then they assigned two people to escort them to the open space in front of the altar.

Uncaria led a team of hunting warriors out of the gate and into the forest.

At the gate, a guard asked Nanxing, "Captain, what are they going to do?"

Nanxing sat aside, rubbing the already shiny bone whistle with animal skin, and said casually: "Catch the traitor."

"What traitor?"

"All those who escaped on the day when the Wild Boar Tribe attacked were traitors from the Vine Tribe."

"What will happen if you catch me?"

"Of course he will be executed. Otherwise, why would he be taken to the altar?"

"In other words, those two people just now actually walked into their own trap?"

"That's right. When the tribe had an accident, they ran away without hesitation. Now that the tribe is doing well, they want to come back. What do they think of our Teng tribe?"

After hearing Nan Xing's words, the two guards finally understood why they let those two idiots in. They were walking into a trap! "Guard the door well. If we encounter a situation like that again, let the people in first and then arrest them."

"yes!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Nanxing left the north gate and went to inspect other places.

In the forest outside the Teng tribe, two hunting teams went out together and captured the traitors one by one and brought them back to the tribe like they were catching prey.

With the cooperation of thorn vines, the capture efficiency is very high.

In just half a day, all the traitors who stayed near the Teng tribe were captured.

The hunting team did not give up on those who ran far away and chased them directly.

Jiang Xuan's order was not to let any traitor go, and they had to carry it out resolutely.

In fact, when the war broke out, Jiang Xuan knew that some people would run away, and he asked the thorn vines to record these people and track them one by one.

So, while the fighting was raging inside the Vine Tribe, the Thorn Vines outside were not idle either. They were keeping an eye on the defectors.

The thorny vine tissue of the Vine Tribe is like an invisible spider web, covering the area near the Vine Tribe and even further away.

If any thread in this spider web is touched, it will be noticed by the Vine Tribe.

Therefore, the hunting team does not need to look everywhere like looking for a needle in a haystack. They just need to catch people according to the clues provided by the thorn vines.

Five days later, the last defector was also captured.

On the morning of the sixth day, the four gates of the Teng tribe were closed, and all the tribesmen gathered in the open space in front of the altar.

In front of the altar, ninety-one defectors were tied up tightly and kneeling in front of the sacred vine. There was a soldier guarding each defector.

At the edge of the place, several strong and tall warriors from the Law Enforcement Hall stood on both sides holding bronze heavy swords, looking intimidating without even showing anger.

When all the tribesmen arrived, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao walked to the front of the altar together, facing the defectors and all the members of the Teng tribe.

"Be quiet!"

Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the members of the Teng tribe who were talking in a lively manner soon quieted down.

"Some time ago, our Vine Tribe experienced a very difficult war. Many members of our tribe were injured or died in that war, and even the vine wall was broken."

Many people are still frightened when talking about that war. Those boar riders were too terrifying. Once a large-scale charge started, mounts like elder deer and mountain sheep could not withstand it at all. Only the black wind rhino could collide with those giant wild boars.

"But then the Fuji God woke up, and we won the battle. We wiped out the wild boar tribe and turned those giant wild boars into food!"

Jiang Xuan's words made all the tribesmen feel their blood boiling. There was nothing more exciting than turning the enemy's mount into food.

"But……"

Jiang Xuan changed the subject and pointed at the defectors kneeling on the ground, his tone becoming a little colder.

"When our people were fighting desperately, there was a small group of people who betrayed the tribe and deserted the battlefield!"

"Because of their desertion, many places that should have been defended could not be defended, and many soldiers who should not have died were killed by them!"

"They are the shame of the tribe, they are harmful parasites, and they are unforgivable sinners!"

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the anger of all the members of the Teng tribe was ignited.

“Kill them!”

“Kill them!”

“Kill them!”

…

More than two thousand tribesmen roared at the same time, which was simply deafening. The faces of the defectors on the ground turned extremely pale, and their eyes revealed extreme fear. Some of them were even frightened to the point of incontinence.

Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand again and pressed down, and the roar slowly subsided.

"Master of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"exist!"

Bai Zhu stood out and stood straight.

Jiang Xuan looked at Bai Zhu and said, "Tell them what crime they committed and what kind of punishment they should receive!"

"yes!"

Bai Zhu walked in front of the defectors kneeling on the ground and said solemnly, "The prisoners are Luwei and Wuxi..."

Bai Zhu read out the names of the defectors one by one, without missing a single one.

"You have committed crimes such as betraying the tribe, deserting the battlefield, stealing tribal property, and attacking tribal members. Your crimes are unforgivable. According to Teng tribal law, you should be beheaded in public!"

The last four words frightened all the defectors, and some of them even became incontinent due to fear.

Although I knew I might not survive this time, I still couldn't accept the result when I faced it.

Few people can take life and death lightly, let alone those who are afraid of death.

After Bai Zhu finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, then returned to his seat.

Jiang Xuan looked at the defectors and asked, "What else do you want to say?"

The soldiers who were guarding the defectors immediately took out the things stuffed in their mouths so that they could speak.

"Chief, I really didn't mean to betray the tribe. Please forgive me. I don't want to die..."

"Chief, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never run away again next time!"

…

When the defectors opened their mouths, most of them were crying and begging for mercy, and the scene was in chaos.

However, Jiang Xuan had no sympathy for them.

"If I forgive you, the heroic souls who died on the battlefield will not forgive me!"

"There is no regret medicine in this world. I can't forgive you, and my tribesmen can't forgive you either. You must bear the consequences of the sins you committed!"

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he had someone stuff the mouths of the defectors again because they were too noisy.

This chapter will be super doubled in length, with a lot of words. Book lovers can refresh and read it in the evening.
