Hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded. However, there were many unknowns, and everyone was worried about them. Under these circumstances, Hai Tang felt a little sad looking at Huo Qiu, but she didn't say anything more about it.
Huo Qiu went down to make some arrangements. Under these circumstances, everyone was ready. As soon as the tribes outside made a move, the orcs and humans of the Tiger Tribe would also make a move immediately.
Meanwhile, the orcs outside, looking at the tiger tribe, wondered, "When do we make our move?" The sky was very dark, and it was snowing. "Many of our people have frozen to death. If we don't act soon, they'll either starve or freeze to death..."
Because of the lack of food, everyone's physical condition was poor. If this dragged on, everyone would eventually die. Upon hearing this, the orcs not far away also looked at the Tiger Clan tribe. "Yes, let's make our move. If we don't act now, we'll either starve or freeze to death. Do we have to wait for others? Doesn't the Tiger Clan tribe have a thousand orcs?"
“Yes, the Tiger Tribe has no thousand orcs, but the problem is the Tiger Tribe’s iron weapons. Do you think there’s no way for one of them to fight two?” one of the orcs said, looking at everyone. The Tiger Tribe’s greatest strength wasn’t its orcs, but its iron weapons.
With iron weapons, it would be easy to kill all the orcs. If there aren't enough people, they'll just be sent to their deaths. Everyone in the Tiger Clan is well-fed and well-clothed, which is quite different from these old, weak, and disabled soldiers who are holding their breath and ready to collapse at any moment.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Tiger Clan tribe, their eyes filled with greed. This time, it wasn't just about the food, but more about survival.
"By the way, are the Lion Clan and Leopard Clan making any moves?" The Lion Clan and Leopard Clan are the ones that these orcs are most worried about. If these two clans also come, there might be countless unexpected events when they take down the Tiger Clan.
"Don't worry, the Lion Clan and Leopard Clan aren't stupid. Why would they risk their lives for the Tiger Clan? They're all hiding like cowards." The Lion Clan and Leopard Clan also had food. Thinking of this, he said sourly, "Damn it, I should have befriended the Tiger Clan from the beginning."
If they had known from the beginning that they had befriended the Tiger Tribe, at least under these circumstances, they would not have lacked food. The Tiger Tribe could have food even in the dead of winter, and even if it wasn't all stored, there must have been other things. Thinking of this, everyone felt extremely regretful.
Of course, despite their regret, they quickly looked towards the Tiger Clan. The Tiger Clan had a Holy Maiden named Haitang. This woman was said to have brought prosperity to the Tiger Clan, and everyone wanted to take her back. They believed that once they took her back, the clan would develop rapidly and they wouldn't have to worry too much about such things in the future.
Haitang is unaware that she is now highly sought after, with almost everyone wanting her. There's not much to be surprised about; Haitang ensures that the tribe has enough to eat in winter, and she allows the Tiger Clan, a small orc tribe of a few hundred people, to contend with orc tribes of a thousand. That's the most reason why others would fight over her.
As dawn approached, the Tiger Clan was still waiting for the Lion Clan and Leopard Clan, but they still hadn't arrived. Under these circumstances, Haitang looked at the city gate not far away, while Dongfang Chen tightly held his mother's hand, "Little dumpling..." Haitang squatted down and looked at Dongfang Chen.
"If the city gates are breached, you take your younger siblings and run away," Haitang said, squatting down as she looked at Dongfang Chen. Dongfang Chen shook his head at his mother upon hearing this.
"No, Mom... Even if I have to run, I'll take you with me." Even if she had to run, she would take Haitang with her, but Haitang shook her head and gently ruffled the child's hair.
“Listen to me, Mom knows you love me the most, but… little dumpling… Mom’s most precious possessions are you and your younger siblings. Mom can run alone, but if there are many of us running, it’s easy to be in danger. You can go with Big Brother Yi to the Leopard Tribe…” Haitang said as she looked at Dongfang Chen.
We can't go to other tribes, so the Leopard Tribe is the best option. "Mom knows that you can take your younger brother and sister with you and live well no matter where you go. Remember... wait for Mom to come find you in the Leopard Tribe. Protect your sister and don't let her turn into a beast."
When Haitang looked at Dongfang Chen, she said this. Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen's eyes reddened, and he hugged Haitang tightly. While hugging her, Dongfang Chen said, "No, I don't want to leave Mommy, I don't want to..."
Dongfang Chen was unwilling to leave, but Haitang's gaze and expression turned cold. "If you don't leave, Mom might get hurt protecting you. Mom is very strong... Even if I get caught, I can find a way to escape. But with you and your younger siblings, do you think Mom can escape?"
"Dongfang Chen..." Haitang said to Dongfang Chen, "When your father left, he told you to be obedient and to protect your mother. Do you want your mother to suffer because of you?" Children are easily fooled. Dongfang Chen shook his head and cried when he heard this.
"That's right, be good, listen to Mommy, Mommy will be fine." Haitang said. Haitang knew in her heart that there were some things she needed to do, and she also knew that those people would come looking for her.
Huo Qiu told her to leave, but Haitang understood even more clearly than Huo Qiu that the most valuable person here was probably herself. She had never hidden her value on many occasions, and in this situation where there was no tribe to protect her, she would be the object of others' struggle.
