Haitang heard about the snake tribe coming to cause trouble while she was at home. "If it weren't for those bamboo tips on the ground, the snake tribe would have already stormed in. Although there weren't many of them, they would have given us a hard time."

More than fifty orcs from the Snake Tribe arrived, intending to take advantage of the fact that most of the young and strong orcs from the Tiger Tribe were away at the trade fair.

The problem was that Meng Ran stepped directly on the bamboo tip, and the tip pierced through the sole of her foot. Most orcs are not interested in shoes, but of course, they are interested in bamboo that is deliberately made sharp. It would be strange if Meng Ran didn't bleed when she stepped on it.

Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded. "Is the village just going to be left like this?" Haitang asked. She felt that since others had attacked, the matter shouldn't be settled so easily.

"Of course we can't just let it go like this. Although our Tiger Clan doesn't have as many humans and beastmen as the Snake Clan, we're not easy to bully. Huo Qiu just returned this time and brought a lot of people with him, planning to go and kill some females as well."

"..." It felt like females were being snatched away no matter where they were, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy. "Will the females that are snatched back live a good life?"

"Lock him up for a few days to temper his temper, and he'll behave properly. Most of the beastmen in the village don't lack females, but we can also bring them back to the human side." The humans don't like him yet.

Of course, if the female is disobedient, it's fine to train her. It's normal for her to snatch away others' females as well. Haitang nodded, feeling that the females' lives were really not good.

The weather is a bit cold, but it hasn't snowed yet. The foal is parked not far away, and Xiao He is feeding it hay, which the foal is enjoying.

"Sister, is this something for us to eat?" Xiaohe immediately asked as soon as she saw Haitang come out.

"No, this is for transportation. We use our feet a lot to walk back and forth. With a horse, we can put things on it and ride it ourselves. Of course, more importantly, we can make a cart so that the foals can pull back even if we have a lot of things," Haitang said.

The wheels are a big problem. Although I don't know how to make them, I've seen them before. I'll make a rough one and ask Shi Ming to work on it. I'll give him some benefits, and once it's done, the females will have to do much less work when they go to harvest.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohe nodded, looking at the little boy's foal, somewhat looking forward to him growing taller. Haitang returned, and the picking continued.

When Dongfang Long and Shi Hu went out, Dongfang Long instructed Haitang to take the wolf cub with her. He wondered if the people in the snake tribe would forgive him now, so taking the wolf cub with her was a good precaution in case something went wrong.

Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded without objecting. The next day, she carried a basket on her back and went out. Meanwhile, the beastmen who had gone out to settle scores with the snake tribe returned.

The snake tribe has more people than the tiger tribe, and with more people comes more conflict. This time, the snake tribe attacked the tiger tribe and suffered heavy losses, but it still angered the tiger tribe.

Of course, they rushed over without hesitation. This time they managed to snatch quite a lot of things, including a lot of females, but they were all around fifteen or sixteen years old, and there were also some young females around eleven or twelve years old.

A dozen or so small females stood trembling not far away, crouching down and hugging their heads. They were dressed in clothes made of snakeskin, and their exquisite curves made many of the surrounding orcs lick their lips.

"Huo Qiu, do you think I can take one back with me this time?" someone asked Huo Qiu directly.

"Those with females are not allowed, but those without females are." Upon hearing this, the woman with a female sighed, though it was a pity.

However, there wasn't much opposition. In this era, everyone was thinking about survival, and no one wanted multiple wives and concubines. Of course, some tribes had multiple wives and concubines, but the Tiger Tribe was poor.

Hearing that someone was waiting, he looked at the females not far away, who were being chosen by the people around him in turn. Several orcs reached out to the younger females.

Haitang stood not far away watching directly, and at this moment, Huoqiu saw Haitang and said, "Stop arguing." He then walked to Haitang's side.

"Is this how you choose?" Haitang asked. Most of the females brought back by the hyena clan were chosen with the other party's consent.

"Of course," Huo Qiu said. "These are spoils of war. Everyone can choose their own, and we'll ask the races if they want the rest." Huo Qiu didn't see anything wrong with it.

They were almost always kind to the female hyenas, but they were less friendly to the females from the snake tribe. They were now spoils of war and were immediately divided up.

Haitang glanced at the girls not far away, their small bodies even smaller than hers. "There are still a few children inside. Are you sure they can survive until next spring if we let others choose them like this?"

Hearing this, Huo Qiu was slightly taken aback. He looked at the few young females not far away. They were eleven or twelve years old, very young, and their height was almost no more than a head taller than Haitang's. They looked like little babies.

Now, as some orcs were pulling and scrambling over those teenage orcs, they appeared somewhat repulsive to Haitang and the others, because at that moment, they treated those females as commodities, not as females.

The female began to cry and shout, and the surrounding beastmen watched the spectacle. The female merely frowned but did not react much.

The snake tribe was too arrogant. They weren't too resentful of the snake female they had snatched back, but they weren't exactly friendly either. Huo Qiu looked at Hai Tang and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

"To be honest, I won't stop you from taking other people's babies like this, but... if you just want to vent your anger and lust for a moment, then drag those little ones back now. I dare say if they get sick or injured in a couple of days, don't come looking for me... if you want to live a good life, if you really like that girl, then take care of her for a while, at least until next spring. How could you do this now?" Haitang said.
