In the Dragon Tribe, the friends waited for a long time but they didn't come back.
No one dared to sleep.
Someone asked, "Why don't they come back? Is it because the gate is too heavily guarded, or do they just not want to come back?"
Everyone was silent.
Someone asked weakly, "Should we...really not inform the Dragon Tribe? If we do, we'll be rewarded, right?"
"Are you stupid?" another said. "If we tell on the Sun Tribe and they win, we'll all be dead. Now we're not helping either side. No matter which side wins, we won't have a good life, but at least we won't die."
The man stopped talking.
Hearing that no one was talking inside, Qiao Yu left and walked towards the office.
Man Heshu led the first team to escort Gong and others to reunite with Xiong Ying and others. Only Liu Shui stayed with Qiao Yu.
He asked, "What should we do with them? Should we keep them as prisoners for a while?"
"No need. Tomorrow, just like everyone else, you will become a free person again," said Qiao Yu.
"As for Gong and the others..." Qiao Yu said, "You discuss with Man and Ming and come up with a punishment plan. Let me review it first, then gather the elders to discuss it, and finally have the team leaders vote on it. From now on, anyone in the tribe who commits murder, desertion, rape, assault, theft, or defamation will be punished from the most serious to the least serious."
Liu Shui was stunned.
He originally thought that people like Gong would at most be captives for a while longer, but he didn't expect Qiao Yu to punish them according to the "crimes" she mentioned.
The crime of desertion is classified under the crime of murder, which shows that it is not as simple as just detaining them, but also imposing certain punishments to reflect the seriousness of this crime.
"I understand everything else. But what is this last charge of defamation?" Liushui asked, not understanding.
"Defamation is using rumors to harm others," Qiao Yu said. "For example, someone suddenly died. It could have been an illness or an accident. But their family, in order to extort money, insists that you killed them."
Liushui was stunned and his expression became serious.
"You say you didn't kill someone and you've even provided evidence. Does that mean the matter is over? No, it's to prevent people from making false accusations or throwing mud at others. For example, if someone who doesn't like you comes forward to testify and insists that you killed someone, then both the deceased's family and the witness will be guilty of defamation and will be punished."
Liu Shui nodded vigorously: "I understand. With this crime, no one dares to speak carelessly. Rumors can kill people. If there is no punishment, there will still be people who dare to make false accusations and spread rumors."
"First, detain Gong and the others along with Xiongying and the others. After we're done dealing with the Sun Tribe, we'll work together to formulate tribal laws, and then punish Gong and the others according to the laws."
"good."
"Okay, go back and rest first."
The next day, Qiao Yu summoned Qiang and Dian and said to them, "Last time the God Tribe attacked, I said I would let you take command, but something unexpected happened. This time the Sun Tribe is attacking, you two should discuss and come up with a battle plan. If it's feasible, I'll hand over command to you."
Qiang and Dian looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
After a moment of silence, Dian couldn't help but ask, "Does Wu still have the drugs?"
"have."
"Then what if we..." Dian scratched his head and grunted, "What if we use the same method you used to attack the God Tribe last time?"
Qiao Yu's fighting methods were always clever, which put a lot of pressure on Qiang and Dian. If they just copied Qiao Yu's methods, even if they won, it would not be a big deal.
But when they were asked to think about it, they couldn't come up with a better solution.
Qiao Yu laughed. "There's a saying that goes, 'A trick doesn't matter if it's old, as long as it works.' If the old method works, go ahead and use it. But war is ever-changing. You must flexibly adjust to the actual situation and not blindly copy it."
Qiang and Dian finally had some confidence in their eyes and nodded, "Okay."
A few days later, the Sun Tribe finally arrived. This time, Qiao Yu just stood on the wall and watched the battle, not participating in the command.
Dian was the commander-in-chief, and Qiang was the deputy commander. Although the battle plan was still based on Qiao Yu's last one, some adjustments were made.
After all, there are so many more soldiers available this time, including those from the God Tribe.
When mobilizing troops, whether it was Qiang, Dian, or others, they all felt that Qiao Yu had done the right thing in screening the prisoners last time.
If they had not picked out those with ulterior motives, they would not dare to use the people of the Divine Tribe at all. They would have to devote their energy to guarding against them stabbing them in the back, and would be hesitant in deploying troops.
Now we can send them out with confidence, just like we did with the original people from the Dragon Tribe.
This trust deeply touched the newly freed captives of the God Tribe, accelerating their sense of belonging to the Dragon Tribe. Instead of being looked upon with wary distrust, they began to see them as brothers. They secretly vowed to live up to this trust.
The people of the Sun Tribe came, still the same recipe, still the same taste, and the people of the Dragon Tribe shot arrows soaked in anesthetic from the bushes where they were ambushing, and the war was over.
So Eagle and others counted the time in the cave, waiting for people from their tribe to rescue them, and then they finally reunited with their brothers.
Qiao Yu also didn't have to worry about reforming the prisoners. Everyone was familiar with it. There was a set of procedures for how to detain them and how to arrange their training and labor, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
"There are so many captives in the tribe. Fortunately, we don't rely on hunting for a living now. We use traps and snares for hunting. We only need to send people to the mountains to collect the prey. Otherwise, I would be worried." Lu sighed.
"Yes, yes." Shi agreed very much.
If they continued to rely on hunting as before, they would have to send out hunting parties to make ends meet. Once their own people left, the tribe would be empty. There were still many captives working in the remote tribes. If they rebelled, it would be a disaster.
But now, the tribe's internal area is already large, and the planting area has undergone another round of development. The trees, stumps, vines and thorns on the ground have been removed, and the land has been dug up to plant and harvest a large batch of rice and yams. According to their experience, this season's crop harvest is enough for them to eat.
Three additional breeding areas were built around the planting area. These areas, along with the original breeding areas, now occupy four corners of the village. The number of animals raised has increased significantly. Rabbits, in particular, have grown in prodigious numbers after repeated breeding cycles. Goats have also been semi-grazed.
During the snowy season, someone caught a few wolf cubs in the mountains. Qiao Yu had them tamed. These wolves are now very friendly. They can control their mouths and not eat sheep, and they can also make the sheep obey their commands.
The Dragon Tribe truly had a life where people could stay in the tribe and have enough food and clothing. They no longer had to send their young warriors out hunting, putting the tribe in danger.
