"No, those people said it's the wall of the Tiger Clan tribe. If you have the wall of the Tiger Clan tribe, you can come to the Tiger Clan tribe to buy food." But the other party didn't want to believe it, because the people in the tribe were starving to death.
If they don't find food to take back, they won't survive and will definitely starve to death. There are no wild animals, and they can't hunt ferocious beasts outside. The problem is that ferocious beasts are almost nowhere to be seen in the outskirts these days, so going deep into them would be suicide.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu said, "The Tiger Tribe only sells grain and fodder to its own tribe using their own currency; they don't give any other currency to anyone who tries to buy it." Then he added, "You should leave immediately."
Huo Qiu was actually unwilling to sell grain, but considering that the money belonged to his Tiger Clan tribe, it was unreasonable not to give it to them, so he chose to sell it, albeit at a much higher price.
It's the dry season now, so food is more precious than at other times, and money naturally loses its value. Of course, this is all something Haitang taught her. Hearing this, the orcs below were immediately enraged.
"Damn it, if you don't give it to us, don't blame us for being impolite." With that, he transformed into a beast and tried to charge across the river, but the next second he was shot by arrows. The moat... was now about ten meters away.
Normally, the area is covered with wooden planks, but now that the planks have been removed, there's no way to jump over them. If these people were to make a move now, they would be courting death. Seeing the rain of arrows, the orcs gritted their teeth and decided to try to charge.
Huo Qiu didn't hold back and ordered his men to fire arrows. Since others were willing to die, Huo Qiu had no choice but to grant their wish. As the arrows rained down, many orcs were pierced through the body in an instant.
The remaining orcs were terrified when they saw this, and they didn't dare to leave. The people of the Tiger Tribe had mixed feelings, because they didn't know what to say.
If it weren't for the foresight of the Tiger Clan, the Tiger Clan would be in the same situation as it is now.
As for the other two tribes, the Lion Tribe and the Leopard Tribe, the people of the Lion Tribe and the Leopard Tribe are doing relatively well. However, they don't have as much food as the Tiger Tribe, but they can still get by by eating less.
Of course, the people of the Lion Tribe and the Leopard Tribe would hunt ferocious beasts. After they had eaten their fill, they would drag carts and go deep into the outer areas to hunt ferocious beasts.
Of course, how this method is used is naturally to use humans as bait. The humans ride horses to lure the ferocious beasts closer, and the lion tribe will join forces to kill them. At this time, no one knows whether the humans will die.
However, for the Lion and Leopard tribes, these were just slaves; their deaths were no big deal. Although the two tribes' attitudes toward humans had changed somewhat, their deep-rooted beliefs could not be easily erased.
Of course, compared to the people living in dire straits elsewhere, this place is obviously paradise. Under these circumstances, the Lion Tribe and the Leopard Tribe are doing quite well.
The drought has lasted for three months. During these three months, many tribes have started to rob other tribes at all costs, including the coal mining area of Haitang.
At this point, Haitang had no choice but to shut down the coal mine, but looking at the situation of those people, she realized that if the mine was shut down, they would have nowhere to go.
Under such circumstances, we can only think of other ways. Haitang sat alone in the room when Qiao Ming brought her food. "Fortunately, the people coming from this area are all from small tribes, otherwise it would be difficult for us to hold out."
"What are you planning to do next? Wouldn't it be better to wait until things have calmed down before starting the coal mine?" Qiao Ming asked, looking at Haitang. He didn't understand what Haitang was struggling with.
When Haitang looked at Qiao Ming, she said, "You're right, but what about our hundreds of employees here? If we beastmen retreat, they're doomed. The female children of the fox tribe have all been sent to the tiger tribe, but what about these other races?"
Haitang couldn't bring herself to discard someone after they'd served their purpose. She was 80% certain that she would abandon hundreds of people and they would face death at any moment.
It wasn't that Haitang was too arrogant, but that was the truth. Upon hearing this, Qiao Ming, who was standing to the side, looked at Haitang and sat down. "I know, let's think about it again. If there's really no other way, I will forcibly take you away. Haitang... you are the holy maiden of our tribe. I can't let anything happen to you. Although the lives of these hundreds of people are precious, in our Tiger Beastmen, and in the Tiger Tribes outside, they are no match for you."
For Qiao Ming, Haitang was the most important thing. The Tiger Clan was a small tribe, and if it weren't for Haitang, it would not have been able to develop so well in just a few years, nor would it be able to fight against many large tribes now.
All of this is because of Haitang. If they encounter danger, Qiao Ming will risk his own life to protect Haitang. For Qiao Ming, Haitang is the most important person. What about the lives of others... hundreds of people? He can abandon them without hesitation, even if he has to kill them with his own hands.
"I know," Haitang said upon hearing this. "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't risk my life." Upon hearing this, Qiao Ming nodded.
At this moment, everyone in the coal mine began to worry. "More orcs are coming. Those orcs are here to steal our food. If this continues, will our coal mine still be able to operate?"
"I'm also very worried. What will we do if the coal mine closes down?" Everyone's face showed confusion and a hint of fear.
No one knew what the Tiger Clan would ultimately choose or what arrangements would be made, and they awaited the outcome with a heavy heart.
