When he was halfway there, he looked at the lower bodies of the two orcs again, shook his head, and thought to himself, what right did he have to look down on them for being dirty? Before he joined Qingshan City, he had been dirtier than them at times.
Thinking of this, he felt happy again that he had the honor to join Qingshan City.
Such battles did not only occur in this place. There was no so-called main battlefield in this tribal offensive and defensive war. The defending side did not even have time to gather their people before they were intercepted from underground or in the sky by people from Qingshan City on the way to the gathering.
Occasionally, a small group gathered together and had a small group battle with Qingshan City, but it was quickly subdued by the people of Qingshan City.
The battle ended much faster than expected, and before they could react, the entire tribe was completely defeated.
In the morning, around the time Meng Yuqing usually got up, the entire battle had already entered the final stages of its work.
This tribe had more than 3,000 people, but after sending some orcs to follow the God Tribe, there were only more than 2,000 people left.
The people of Qingshan City threw all the captives into a pile of grass and tied their hands behind their backs with ropes. They also searched their tribes for a lot of bone chains to restrain slaves and put them on them according to their strength. They also stuffed the Xuli grass into their mouths for free.
This was the scene Meng Yuqing and Qiu Ye saw when they came over. When they smelled an indescribable odor, Meng Yuqing rubbed his nose and said nothing.
After all, it was he who ordered the removal of chin bean powder, so this result was within his expectations.
The orcs of Qingshan City were still bringing in grass that could cover up the smell. Lian squatted aside and didn't even want to comb his feathers. Not only him, many orcs of Qingshan City did not lick their fur after the battle.
After taking a quick look around, Meng Yuqing asked Lian, "How are our people? Are there any casualties?"
Lian perked up and looked at Meng Yuqing and replied, "There were injured but no dead. There were still some among them who were not hit. They injured some of us, but we provided support quickly, and they were only minor injuries."
Meng Yuqing nodded and instructed, "Use the herbs wisely. If there's a real problem, there's no need to save them. Everyone's safety is the most important thing."
"Yeah, I know." Lian responded.
Not long after Meng Yuqing and Qiu Ye arrived, the slaves of this tribe were also brought out by the people from Qingshan City. The slave orcs were all restrained with bone chains around their necks, while the sub-beasts were not restrained at all, but they were skinny and had many wounds. However, they were in better condition than those orc slaves.
At Lian's instruction, the orc slaves were not freed. This wasn't the South after all, and the tribes here were used to fighting each other. Even if they belonged to the same God Tribe, they wouldn't hold back.
They were not sure whether there would be people from the tribes affiliated with the Tribe of God among these slaves.
Most of the slaves rescued from the Thorn Tribe before were from the Obsidian Tribe. As the slaves who had survived the longest in the Thorn Tribe, they knew the slaves of the Thorn Tribe inside and out.
But there is no such person among these people.
The people of Qingshan City arranged them not far from the prisoners of war, but only restricted their range of activities and did not pay too much attention to them. The orcs among these people were so weak that they could not pose any threat to them.
As long as the sub-beasts in the Qingshan City tribe who are good at fighting are fully equipped, they will not be afraid of them.
"Send a message to the main force. We've already taken the stronghold. We'll simply build this place as the first transit point." Meng Yuqing took a quick look at the number of prisoners and continued, "Tell them to stop by the river and bring back the supplies sent by the Sea Tribe."
As he spoke, he glanced towards the slaves. Lian thought Meng Yuqing was soft-hearted and quickly said, "We are not familiar with these people and are afraid that they may belong to that side, so we did not release them from their bonds."
Meng Yuqing looked at Lian with some surprise and said, "I was wondering if they can work in this state?"
Lian: “…” He was too naive.
The scene was eerily quiet for a moment before Lian spoke up, "Orcs should be able to work after two meals, but sub-beasts might be a little more troublesome."
"Well, let's send the sub-beasts to dig wild vegetables, and the orcs to move bricks." Meng Yuqing immediately decided on the slaves' destinations. After arranging the slaves, he looked at the prisoners of war and frowned. "That's a lot of people. We can't keep them for nothing."
Slaves were easy to manage because they had already suffered so much that they were very obedient in order to survive. Qingshan City hadn't released the tribe directly after conquering them, but at least they were living a better life than before. If they didn't want to go back to their old ways and didn't want to die, then obedience was the best option.
Even though there may be people who were once affiliated with the God Tribe, since no one comes to look for them, rescue them, or exchange with them, they can only rely on occupying Qingshan City if they want to survive.
Lian said nonchalantly, "Starve them for a few days and they'll be obedient."
Meng Yuqing turned his head to look at the chain, his eyes clearly showing: I knew you were not a good person.
"Orcs can withstand starvation for a few days, but cubs and sub-beasts can't. If they are so cruel as to watch the cubs and sub-beasts starve to death, then take the sub-beasts and cubs somewhere else." Lian winked and motioned Meng Yuqing to look at Qiu Ye. "Then it will be Qiu Ye's turn to show her skills."
"However, if there are particularly obedient ones among them, we can give them designated sub-beasts and cubs extra meals." Meng Yuqing added.
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled wickedly.
Don’t talk about the eldest brother or the second brother, both of them are not good people.
The news of the capture of the stronghold soon reached the main force. After Yang and Ji listened to the flying orcs' description of the "great battle", Yang was fine, but Ji and his friends once again showed an indescribable expression.
It turns out that not only Xia is "bad" in Qingshan City, but their witch is also "bad", and even many of the "bad" ideas were thought up by the low-key and easy-going "witch".
After Ji went through the more outstanding young people in Qingshan City in his mind, he found that even among these young people, there were many who had bad intentions.
Thinking back to the Obsidian tribe, where everyone was honest and upright from top to bottom, and only Xuan's biological uncle Yun Yao was a little evasive, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It's really a case of drought killing people and flooding killing people.
"Let's go, let's get the supplies first, and then go over and take a look." Ji said.
