The Sun Tribe and the God Tribe were not far from each other, and were currently at odds with each other. So, with the arrival of spring and the warmer weather, the Sun Tribe's leader, Yang, sent his capable subordinate, the Eagle, to the God Tribe to gather information.
Calculating the time, the God Tribe's salt is almost gone. The weather is getting warmer, so it's time for them to take action, right?
The Sun Tribe was already prepared to fight the enemy, waiting for the God Tribe to attack. The most important thing now was to understand their movements.
Not long after, the eagle returned and reported: "Yang, the entire tribe of Gods has disappeared."
"What?" Yang sat up suddenly and looked at the eagle.
"Didn't you ask me to find out about the God Tribe? But when I got there, I found that there was no one in the tribe. Some tree houses were collapsed by the snow and no one cared about them. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time."
"How is that possible?" Yang was incredulous. "Over 800 people, how could they all disappear? Did you see correctly?"
"Absolutely. If you don't, ask Meng."
Meng went to the Divine Tribe with him and was also Yang's confidant.
Yang summoned Meng and questioned him, discovering that what Xiongying had said was indeed true: the Divine Tribe was deserted. Furthermore, the caves in the wealthy area had been emptied of their belongings, and many of the simple tree houses outside had collapsed under the weight of the snow. Meng and Xiongying hadn't seen a single body there.
Yang withdrew his surprised gaze and frowned, "How is that possible? Did they move?"
"Looking at the way they look, they must have moved." Meng said, "I guess they couldn't make it anymore, and they didn't dare to attack us, so they moved somewhere else."
Yang pounded the stone table twice in annoyance.
This is not what he wants.
He ordered Xiongying and Meng, "Go and check what happened. With so many people moving, there must be traces left. It was covered by heavy snow. Now that the snow has melted, the traces will definitely be revealed. Follow these traces and find out where they went."
Xiongying and Meng took the order and left.
The two of them quickly tracked down the broken animal skins and rattan baskets that the group of elderly, weak, women, and children from the Divine Tribe had accidentally left behind when they were evacuated. By following their trail, they could discover their whereabouts.
Xiongying and Meng didn't dare to chase them directly, so they came back to ask Yang: "What should we do? Should we send someone to chase them?"
Yang pondered for a moment and said to Xiong Ying, "Take a hundred men and chase them over to see what happens. When you get there, attack if you can. If there's danger, don't do anything. The main thing is to find out what they're doing."
Spring arrived, and the Sun Tribe needed to send its men out hunting. They couldn't send too many people. Taking too few would be dangerous. The God Tribe only had about 300 combat-ready men. With 100 men, the Sun Tribe could escape even if they were discovered.
"yes."
The eagle agreed, went back and picked out a hundred people, and led them to follow the traces left behind, and entered the sight of the first outpost of the Dragon Tribe.
…
The war between the Dragon Tribe and the God Tribe was over, but the conflicts between the Sun Tribe and the Sifang and Jiangyuan Tribes had not been resolved, so Qiao Yu did not withdraw the two outposts outside the tribe.
As soon as Xiongying and his companions appeared within the sight of the first sentry, the message tree was quickly lowered. The guard said to his companions with admiration, "Qiao Yu is truly amazing. She said the Sun Tribe would arrive in the next few days, and it turned out just as she expected."
"Of course, Yu is so smart, there is nothing he can't think of." People who are also from the valley tribe are very proud.
When the people at the second post saw the message tree at the first post fall, they also quickly knocked down the message tree.
Seeing this, the man at the third sentry post at the tribal gate quickly ran down the wall, rode his horse straight to the office, and blew his bamboo whistle all the way.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The people of the God Tribe looked up blankly at the man riding a horse galloping past, their eyes full of envy.
They had hunted many wild horses of this kind while hunting, but had never thought of taming them.
The leader of the Dragon Tribe was very clever. He tamed horses and let the warriors of the tribe ride them. They ran faster than anyone else. Moreover, when riding a horse, the warriors were much taller than others. When others attacked him, they could not hit him at all. This was a great advantage in battle.
They had heard their wives and children describe the heroic sight of the Dragon Tribe warriors riding horses to fetch their wives and children. It was truly remarkable that all the Dragon Tribe warriors, both men and women, could ride horses.
Even if they were not defeated by the traps and ambushes on both sides of the road, the people on horseback could easily kill them all on that road.
Thinking about it this way, they were still lucky enough to have the Dragon Tribe leader want to capture them alive.
"Alas, I think we have no hope." Gong, an elder of the original God tribe and now a captive, whispered to his fellow elder Changming.
Changming retracted his gaze and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Gong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He said, "Even if we kill Yu, there are still Man, Liushui, and a few elders. We can't control the people of the Dragon Tribe at all. We want to crush them with numbers, but the people of the Shanyin Tribe that Lei brought with him won't listen to us. They still have horses..."
As he said this, he sighed deeply and shook his head.
They used to live a life of luxury in the God Tribe, enjoying themselves without ever having to work. Now that they've arrived in the Dragon Tribe, their status has plummeted, and they're forced to toil every day. How can they be content with this?
Therefore, a group of people appear to be convinced, but are actually always looking for opportunities.
During this time, they also learned a lot about Qiao Yu from the boastful Dragon Tribe warriors, who all praised her intelligence. They thought Qiao Yu had gotten to her position by relying on her brains.
This kind of leader, who only had a brilliant mind but was completely powerless, was the easiest to eliminate. Furthermore, they had observed that Qiao Yu always kept to himself. Unlike their previous leader, who was always followed by a group of guards wherever he went.
At the time, they were filled with disdain. They thought anyone from a small tribe was ignorant, not even knowing how many guards to hire. If they could find a chance to eliminate someone like Qiao Yu, the Dragon Tribe might be transformed.
But during this period of time they found that their ideas were too simple.
Qiao Yu was not afraid of others taking away her power, and handed over most of the tribe's affairs to Man and Liu Shui, as well as the various team leaders. Above the team leaders, there was now a team leader.
In other words, under the leader of the Dragon Tribe were two assistant officers, under whom was the captain, and under the captain were the squad leaders. This administrative structure was so solid that even if they killed Qiao Yu, it wouldn't shake the Dragon Tribe in the slightest.
Of the 1,200 people in the Dragon Tribe, only 500 were from the original God Tribe. Even if all of them were united with them, they would still be no match for the 800.
