"But he didn't resist at all and was captured very obediently. After we captured him, the underage orc said he wanted to see the person in charge on our side. He had something important to tell you."
"So when we saw that he had even brought out sub-beasts and newborn sub-beast cubs and they were caught by us, we decided to bring them all back first."
After saying this, the flying orc kicked the underage orc from the Bone-Bone Tribe and said, "If you have something to say, tell us now. If you lie to us..."
The underage orc sat on the ground, looking at Yang and Ji, who surrounded him but gave him a strong sense of oppression despite not transforming into beast form, and Meng Yuqing, who squeezed in between them and looked like a person who could make decisions. He then slowly spoke, "The leader is planning to gather all the adult orcs to fight you."
The underage orc had a very nervous expression and spoke slowly, but no one present interrupted him. Instead, they waited quietly for his next words.
They had known for a long time that the Bone Throat Tribe was gathering orcs. They didn't think that this underage orc had run out with his sub-father and brother just to tell such things to the people of Qingshan City. There must be a management of the Bone Throat Tribe supporting this underage orc.
Those who have made it to the management level cannot be so stupid as to think that the people in Qingshan City don’t know about their big move.
Sure enough, the next words of this underage orc made everyone present frown.
"These orcs aren't gathering to fight you. They're just trying to divert your attention. Regardless of whether you engage them directly or bypass them to attack the tribe..." the light in the immature orc's eyes dimmed at this point. "The leader will take advantage of the chaos to contact the God Tribe and have them come and encircle and suppress you."
Meng Yuqing, Yang, Ji, Lian, and Xun were still silent when the flying orc who had brought the underage orc back asked in disbelief, "Your leader is saying that he guessed that after he brought out the tribe's main fighting force, we might attack the tribe directly, so he's preparing..."
He swallowed the second half of his sentence, "Abandon the tribe and the people still in the tribe?"
The underage orc hung his head dejectedly, and the sub-beast didn't say anything, as if he agreed with the flying orc's statement.
The baby's crying broke the silence, and the sub-beast instantly became nervous. He immediately took out some wild vegetables from the animal skin bag he was carrying, and his eyes kept moving back and forth between Qiu Ye and the baby.
Qiu Ye didn't look at him, but just patted the baby's back gently, then said to Lian, "Lian, I think I still have some ground rice in my bag. Go and make some rice porridge."
Lian looked at Qiu Ye in surprise, then pointed at himself, as if he didn't quite understand why so many orcs who had raised cubs were here, but this job fell on him.
But Qiu Ye just called him and didn't even look at him. He shrugged and walked resignedly to where Meng Yuqing and Qiu Ye were resting, found Qiu Ye's bag and took out a small bag of ground rice from it.
These things did not exist originally, but after they captured the first stronghold, many tribes came with their families, and it was inevitable that there were some newly born sub-beasts among them.
In order to solve their food problem in a unified way, the orcs from Qingshan City in the stronghold temporarily made a large millstone to grind rice into powder and cook rice porridge for them to eat.
Soon, the aroma of rice porridge wafted out. Lian came over with a small bowl and a spoon. However, Qiuye was holding the baby in both hands and couldn't feed it. Finally, Qiuye stuffed the baby back into the arms of the sub-beast and took the rice porridge from Lian's hands.
He didn't even meet the sub-beast's gaze. Instead, he looked at the baby and whispered, "This is specially made for sub-beasts this big. The sub-beasts in our tribe mainly eat this."
He spoke so softly that people couldn't help but want to believe him. The actual situation was the same. The sub-beast was not wary of Qiu Ye, nor did he doubt what Qiu Ye said at all. He believed it directly.
After the two of them fed the baby who was still crying softly, Qiu Ye did not take the child away and returned him to his father-in-law.
After this little episode, Meng Yuqing looked at Yang and Ji and said, "We need to send more people! Their main force is made up of orcs. If they even think about looking for reinforcements, and a few of them sneak away to report the situation during the chaos, we won't be able to stop them!"
Meng Yuqing looked serious. When he heard the news, his first reaction was not to give up attacking the Bone Chilling Tribe or to take the opportunity to attack the Bone Chilling Tribe and then pack up the captured people and evacuate quickly.
Since the Bone-Bone Tribe abandoned the old, weak, sick and disabled people in their tribe as well as all the sub-beasts, don't blame them for taking over the Bone-Bone Tribe and then setting a trap for the people from the God Tribe to fall into it.
They have been in the north for almost half a year, and Xuan has been entangled with the "God" for half a year. He doesn't want to drag it on any longer, and he doesn't want to waste another year or two fighting with the God Tribe here.
If this continues, no matter how much food the South has stored or how rich the sea is, it will not be able to withstand such consumption. They are fighting here, and behind them is the South tightening its belt to save supplies for them. In addition to ensuring the daily life of their own tribe, the sea tribes also have to hunt and transport meat to them.
Whether it is transporting supplies or fighting in the north, it occupies the vast majority of a tribe's strong orc laborers. If Meng Yuqing had not laid a solid foundation in the south, I am afraid that many tribes would find it difficult to operate without these strong laborers.
"I don't know if the entire God Tribe army will come or just a portion of them after the Bone-Bone Tribe reports the news, but that won't stop us from gathering our forces and setting up an ambush here."
"If all of them come, we'll fight here. If only a portion of them come, we'll eat them all up, weakening their strength, and then attack them directly. The Bone-Bone Tribe is trying to get the God Tribe to surround us, causing us to lose important combat forces. We can also make their main force disappear here."
After saying this, Meng Yuqing looked up at Ji Heyang.
The two nodded, apparently agreeing with Meng Yuqing's idea. Then Ji asked the underage orc, "Do you know where the people from the God Tribe are gathering? How far away are they from the Bone-Bone Tribe? How many people are there? How many orcs have fully evolved? If they want to come here, which route are they most likely to take?"
He paused and asked one last question, "Do you know the movement route of the main force of the Bone-Bone Tribe?"
Ji Yi's series of questions confused not only the underage orc boy but also many orcs in Qingshan City.
The underage beastman looked at Ji blankly, his mouth opened, and he finally said weakly, "I... don't know, my father didn't tell me."
