"Kakuzu, you can go without worry, leave this to us!"
The young men of the Black Wind Tribe were in the prime of their lives, and after being "fooled" by Jiao Du, they not only stopped complaining but also patted their chests to reassure him.
Kakuzu turned around and smiled slightly at the warriors in the tribe: "Goodbye, wait for our good news!"
As Kakuzu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, the young people who had been standing ramrod straight, watching him leave, finally breathed a sigh of relief, their tension dissipating, and began to discuss among themselves.
"You're saying that Kakuzu and his group only have so many people? How can that be enough?"
"Yes, sigh, really. But we absolutely cannot let Kakuzu down. While he's away, we must protect the Black Wind Tribe!"
“I still find it a bit strange. Is it really necessary?” one person questioned. “The Moth Witch and the Horned One are both too cowardly. They keep saying they’re worried about other tribes attacking, but I don’t think any other tribe would dare to cause trouble for our tribe!”
"That's right, they're not stupid. Why would they bother us for no reason? Humph, we're being kind by not bothering them!"
"If it weren't for the Red Flower Tribe brats warning us that the White Feather Tribe was coming to attack us, we would have already..."
"Shh!"
"Stop talking, be careful the Moth Witch doesn't hear!"
"Ah, oh, I understand!"
Being young, the young man who had just spoken immediately picked up his stone axe and stood up nervously upon hearing the words "Moth Witch," pretending to be on patrol.
...
Dian Jingjing looked at the Black Wind Tribe. He could clearly see Jiao Du leading his warriors out of the tribe. When their shadows gradually disappeared from the Black Wind Tribe, he knew that the time was almost right and it was time to attack.
Once these guys leave, they probably won't be back anytime soon, and if they're lucky, some of them might even perish in the inferno of Black Crow Forest.
Dian took a deep breath and gave the order: "The time is almost right, we can attack immediately."
Boye asked anxiously, "Chief, I still don't understand why we can't kill all the bastards of the Black Wind Tribe. They're the ones who killed Yong and the others! Why do we still give them a chance? Why do we accept someone who admits defeat and surrenders?"
He wished he could kill everyone in the Black Wind Tribe. He didn't know how to express it, but he felt in his heart that Dian's decision was wrong!
When Boye asked this question, the surrounding soldiers gasped instantly. Of course, they also wanted to know the answer, but they couldn't ask Boye such a question so openly. Seeing that Boye had asked the question without even thinking, they all turned their eyes to Dian, waiting for Dian's answer.
Dian's gaze swept over the young warriors. He talked for a long time with Li Qing, Jie Wu, and Chu before reaching a consensus on this issue—for the future of the tribe, the tribe must continue to develop. And to continue to develop, with their current meager strength, they would definitely need other new forces, and these new forces could only be obtained from other tribes.
Dian really wanted to explain to them, but the words that came out of her mouth were: "Do as I say. The Black Wind Tribe has already paid the price they deserved. Tu, Tashan, and most of the others are trapped in the Black Crow Forest. If we do as you say, what difference will there be between us and the Black Wind Tribe? If they really wanted to fight us to the death back then, then we would just kill those few who didn't listen and make the others listen."
He said this because of something Li Qing said: "You need to let them know what 'obeying orders' means."
This sounded strange at first, but for someone like Dian, who had seen many storms, it made perfect sense after careful consideration. Imagine you point to a spot and tell your brothers to attack, but one by one they say, "Why? Why do we have to do it this way? It's wrong. We should do it this way..."
This is causing chaos.
Boye was taken aback, and his quick temper made him want to say something again—this was quite different from the chief he remembered; he was too heartless!
Just then, Chu rode his horse slowly to Boye's side and whispered, "If the chieftain tells us to do this, there must be a reason. We should just listen."
Boye became even more anxious, "Chu, how could even you be like this! Black Wind Tribe..."
“I know.” Chu was quite serious about this matter. “It’s alright, we’ll just do as the chief says. Everything the chief does is for the good of the Red Flower Tribe, he won’t lie to us.”
With that, Chu rode his horse away from Boye, saying, "Let's set off after we've packed up."
Dian glanced at Boye worriedly, concerned that his words might have affected Boye. He whispered to Chu, who had followed him, "Boye...?"
Chu smiled and said, "He may just be having some trouble accepting it, but that's normal and it will take time to resolve."
Dian nodded, then suddenly remembered something, pursed his lips, and made a self-deprecating joke: "I remember Boye is so old and still doesn't have a woman. Why don't we reward him with a few more women after we conquer the Black Wind Tribe? That way he'll be happier."
Chu laughed: "Haha, I didn't expect you to joke around, Chief!"
Dian: "What are you saying? Am I usually that serious?"
With that, Dian turned around and waved his fist at everyone behind him, shouting, "I believe you've all seen the raging flames in the Black Crow Forest. Clearly, Wheat has achieved great success. Now it's our turn to shine. We absolutely cannot lose to Wheat!"
"Let's go!"
...
Let's go back to the present.
Hu Tun reacted very quickly. He shuddered and laughed, "I've come to seek refuge with you."
Li Qing thought he had misheard. The White Feather Tribe would actually pledge allegiance to the Red Flower Tribe, which they had always looked down upon.
"To defect to us?"
Li Qing asked incredulously.
“Yes,” Hutun said, looking somewhat nervous, speaking rapidly, “My chief and my tribe are finished. I can only survive by joining your tribe, which is why I’ve come here…”
“Hmm, that’s a good explanation,” Li Qing said. “But why don’t you join the Black Wind Tribe? Just say that the conflict between your tribe and the Black Wind Tribe is a complete misunderstanding, and that we were the ones who orchestrated it. That would be more in line with the character of the guys in your tribe, wouldn’t it?”
“The Black Wind Tribe certainly won’t live long either!” Hutun said.
He seemed to realize that his tone was a bit decisive, so he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly and said with a fawning look, "You guys started such a big fire, the Black Wind Tribe will definitely lose a lot of people, and then they will be finished."
Li Qing said coldly, "That's not necessarily true."
"ah?"
Hu Tun was taken aback. He noticed that Li Qing and the people around him had somewhat unfriendly expressions. He immediately swallowed and asked guiltily, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
