Having medicine now would be a tremendous boon for the children in the tribe, especially since almost half of the infected children are female, and the number could potentially be even higher.

Enough people have died already, so there's no point in arguing about this anymore. But leaving is impossible; I can't leave until I get my hands on the medicine.

When Haitang heard the commotion from below the city wall, she couldn't help but frown. She looked directly at the city wall and pulled Huoling beside her, asking, "What happened?"

"Those people came asking for medicine. I don't know where they got the news that our tribe has medicine to cure diseases, but Brother Huoqiu refused to give it to them..." Huoling refused too. Giving medicine now would just benefit those bastards.

When Haitang heard this, she couldn't help but purse her lips. At that moment, an orc climbed the city wall not far away and said a few words to Huoqiu. Huoqiu looked serious and quickly went to find Haitang.

When Haitang spoke to Huoling, her expression was grim. There were five hundred beastmen from the Leopard Tribe and several hundred from the Snake Tribe outside. If a real fight broke out, the Tiger Tribe would definitely suffer a crushing defeat this time, since the Leopard Tribe had been slacking off last time.

The snake tribe's fighting strength was originally inferior to that of the tiger tribe, which allowed the tiger tribe to gain an advantage. Now that the leopard tribe is no longer slacking off and is using its true abilities, the leopard tribe may not necessarily benefit.

During these days, the orcs have been working tirelessly, brewing medicine and making various defenses for their child's illness. It would be very disadvantageous to take action at this time.

It might not wipe out the entire clan, but many people would be sacrificed. Seeing Huo Qiu come to her, Haitang was stunned for a moment. Huo Qiu said, "Haitang... I want to give you the decision. How do you plan to resolve this? Give her the medicine or not?"

Hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Why are you making the decision for me?"

"The elders said that if this matter really breaks out into a fight, it will not benefit our Tiger Clan tribe. The last battle caused us to suffer heavy losses, and if we fight again this time, we will lose even more people. If we can avoid it... to be honest, I want to fight..." The problem is that if we fight again, the orcs will die.

There are over two hundred adult orcs, and although the young orcs are emerging, they are all still minors. There are also human soldiers on the other side. If things really get serious, everything that has been so hard-won will be sacrificed.

Upon hearing this, Haitang pursed her lips and said, "If you're going to give it to someone, then you'll need someone..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu was slightly taken aback. "We need a large number of slaves. With slaves, we can expand our breeding farms. Then, we can recruit some of our tribe's orcs and train them into soldiers for large-scale battles."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu looked at Haitang and said, "Of course, it's not just soldiers, but also people of all races. All people of the tribe can join the army, and the food will be grown and raised by slaves. In the future, our tribe will not need to worry about hunting, but can just focus on becoming stronger."

Haitang's words stunned Huoqiu. Looking at Haitang in this situation, he said, "Saving one slave at a time, and accepting females sent from outside, is like... interest..."

"Why not furs and such?" Huo Qiu asked, slightly taken aback. Hai Tang smiled and looked at Huo Qiu.

"Why supplies? We don't lack them, what we lack is manpower. In many cases, we don't have enough manpower. If we had more manpower, it would be different..." Haitang said.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded. Hai Tang actually had her own thoughts. Population is an important factor for development. With enough people, the tribe could develop rapidly.

Under these circumstances, the tribe didn't have enough resources to exchange for a large number of slaves. Since they weren't going to attack this time, they wanted to find a way to cripple the other side. "You go and negotiate..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded. As Huo Qiu descended the city wall, Bao Yun and the others' expressions darkened, and they became somewhat solemn.

As Huo Qiu went up, Snake Spirit and Leopard Cloud exchanged a glance. Under these circumstances, Huo Qiu spoke up, "Okay, we can give you medicine and treat you. What you need to do is gather people at the border between the Leopard Tribe, Tiger Tribe, and Snake Tribe to collect information. The price for the exchange is one slave per person, plus one pig. If you agree, you can start preparing."

Hearing this, Snake Spirit breathed a sigh of relief. Her own tribe had plenty of slaves, so sending them out wouldn't be a problem. The Leopard tribe had about the same number. Slaves weren't worth much, although pigs were.

However, compared to the lives of the tribespeople, it's not that valuable. "Of course, you'll have to find the herbs yourselves. We'll send people to help you find them and tell you what kind of herbs they are. But if you only want the medicine and not the treatment, give us four hundred slaves and we'll give you the prescription..."

Upon hearing this, Snake Spirit and Leopard Cloud walked a short distance away and began to discuss, "Now that we have the prescription, why do we need the Tiger Clan to get involved?" Leopard Cloud said.

"Yes, but have you ever thought about the dosage of the medicine and how it affects each patient's condition?" the snake spirit said. The snake spirit also had a dosage when administering poison; more or less would have different effects.

Upon hearing this, Leopard Cloud frowned, but he had to admit that Snake Spirit was telling the truth, and his heart sank. "Then let someone treat him."

Upon hearing this, the Serpent Spirit nodded, making a deal with Huo Qiu, and Huo Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
