Mu Guan's eyes were fixed on Leng and the dozen or so people behind him.
He was all too familiar with these people; they were originally from the Shanyin tribe. Leng, as a small chieftain, had bullied them constantly. Muguan's brother had had some conflicts with Leng when they were children, and after Leng grew up and became a small chieftain, he repeatedly retaliated against his family.
In order to survive, the Muguan family discussed and decided to go to Ming. Later, they followed Ming to the Dragon Tribe.
Meanwhile, the Muguan family was living a very good life in the Dragon Tribe. Or rather, all the people from the Shanyin Tribe were living a very good life after arriving in the Dragon Tribe.
But these people were pale and thin, wearing low-quality, uninsulated animal skins, and shivering in the cold wind. What shocked Mu Guan the most was the numbness on their faces.
Although they knew that being the advance troops was the most dangerous, these people did not show any resentment on their faces. They all had wooden faces, like puppets.
Seeing Leng suffering, Mu Guan should have been in a good mood. But for some reason, seeing the miserable plight of these people, Mu Guan felt a sense of grief.
It was obvious that after the Shanyin tribe was annexed by the Shen tribe, although they were not branded as slaves like the Sifang tribe, their treatment was definitely the worst. They had to do the heaviest and most dangerous work, but received the worst and least.
Mu Guan was once again glad that he had followed Ming to the Dragon Tribe, and was also extremely glad that the leader of the Dragon Tribe, Yu, was a particularly good person.
If the leader of the Dragon Tribe is like the leader of the God Tribe, the situation of these people will probably not be much better.
Seeing Leng and his dozen men, Beifeng seemed a little worried and called out, "Call the Fa and Gray Wolf teams over and have them follow Leng and his men in front."
"Yes." The person behind Bei Feng agreed and ran to inform others. After a while, thirty or forty people in a similar condition to Leng's team were brought up.
Seeing that the three teams had a total of fifty or sixty people, which was almost the same number as the new tribe that Bo had mentioned, Beifeng nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Let's go, follow this road forward."
The people of the Shanyin tribe had probably become accustomed to being oppressed over the past year. Upon hearing this, they obediently walked forward without hesitation.
Qiao Yu likes to leave room for maneuver when doing things. Although the car has not been built yet, she has left enough width for two carriages to run side by side on this main road.
In order to ensure his own safety, Beifeng simply left no gaps and let the fifty or sixty people line up in seven columns and move forward, with the distance between the front and the back being extremely short.
In this way, if someone attacks from the front, this group of people can fight with them, and the enemy cannot get through such a dense formation and run to the back, so they will be safe.
Mu Guan was relieved when he saw this situation.
Although he had a personal grudge against Leng, he still hoped that the people of the Shanyin tribe could live well and did not want them to lose their lives.
Beifeng saw the danger as the most dangerous, but Muguan knew they were the safest. If they fell into a trap, they would just freeze. After the war, the Dragon Tribe would capture them alive.
Those walking behind would be subjected to a barrage of arrows. Qiao Yu had said that victory in battle and the safety of the Dragon Tribe members were paramount. As for how many prisoners could be captured alive, it depended on the enemy's performance. If they were too brutal and their lethality was too great, they would simply be shot.
Anyway, we just capture as many alive as we can, without any pressure.
Therefore, to ensure victory and safety, everyone would try their best to shoot at the legs, but who could guarantee accuracy? And that anesthetic, Qiao Yu said, hadn't been tested on humans yet. What if it was poisonous?
So no matter how you look at it, it's safer to fall into the trap.
Mu Guan was daydreaming here, while other people who had nothing to do with the Shen Tribe and the Shanyin Tribe, such as trees, rocks and tigers, were staring at the people of the Shen Tribe.
Their ambush point was at the end of the tribe's road, and the trap they had set was only a hundred meters from the tribe's main gate. Although the people from the God Tribe were numerous, at least three or four hundred, if they moved forward in a single swarm, rather than forming a long line, they could easily be encircled.
The Dragon Tribe's men and women, a total of 235 men, were ambushed on both sides of the road, from the trap to the end of the road. Inside the tribe, Qiao Yu stood alone on the city wall, guarding the tribal gate; behind the traps on either side of the tribe were two groups of young men and women with little fighting power who had not signed up for the war.
Qiao Yu had said that the tribal defense was a war for everyone, and she wouldn't allow anyone to hide behind someone else's protection. With the exception of pregnant women and children under six, she required everyone to participate. If your fighting skills were low, then practice diligently and strengthen your physical training. The tribe didn't support idlers, nor did it have any obligation to protect cowards.
As for the road leading up from the river behind the tribe, Qiao Yu only assigned ten warriors from the hunting team, as well as disabled people such as Shan and Mang to defend it.
Fortunately, Qiao Yu had requested this. Otherwise, with only a hundred or so people from the tribe's hunting team facing twice as many warriors from the God Tribe, even with traps, ambushes, spears, and bows, it would have been an extremely difficult battle. To win, they would have to pay a huge price.
Seeing that the last group of people from the God Tribe also entered the encirclement and disappeared from their sight, Shu and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, they waited for someone to escape back here.
On either side of the trap, the two teams led by Hei and Yan were extremely nervous. They stared closely at Leng and his group as they approached, hoping they would fall into the trap.
It’s getting closer, closer, almost there, almost there…
Seeing the two rows in front walk onto the trap, and the people behind them also stood on it, the people in the two teams didn't dare to breathe, for fear that their excessive breath would disturb everything in front of them and cause the trap to collapse prematurely.
The frame above the trap was created by Qiao Yu after numerous experiments, drawing on the experience of the Stone Tribe's trap. She hoped that it would collapse only after more people reached it, rather than just the first two people falling in.
"Eh..." The person next to Leng uttered a soft "eh", lowered his head to look at his feet, and then asked Leng, "Do you think this road is a little strange?"
It feels very soft and shaky, as if the whole person is about to sink into it.
Without looking away, he shouted coldly: "Shut up and keep going."
After hearing Leng's words, everyone came to their senses, a sad look appeared on their faces, and they continued to move forward.
They were the inferiors of the God Tribe, without human rights. They had to keep going until Beifeng stopped. If they stopped without permission, they would be severely beaten.
