Snake Moon felt a mix of emotions. He knew that he should be grateful to both the people in front of him and himself, because... the initial annihilation of the Snake Clan was largely the work of his father and grandfather. And now, even though the Snake Clan had been captured by the Tiger Clan, they weren't tortured; they were simply made to work, and they were even given food while working.
In this era, food was of utmost importance, and after years of hiding, their bodies had already been severely depleted. Their beast-like forms were not very large, and they were weak... Hunger had long since eroded many things.
As she ate her hot meal, Snake Moon could sense that many of her people were beginning to have different feelings towards the Tiger Clan, a situation that made her feel somewhat sad.
However, there was nothing she could do. While drinking the porridge, Snake Moon lowered her head and tears streamed down her face. Her father hoped that she could make a comeback, but over the years, she had not been able to do so at all.
Even hiding was already an all-out effort; almost everyone was in great pain. Now… forget about revenge, survival was everyone's only hope. “Brother Snake Moon…”
A young female standing nearby paused slightly when she looked at Snake Moon. Her thin frame made her appear somewhat cautious, and she looked at Snake Moon with a hint of doubt. "Brother Snake Moon, is it not enough? I have some more here?"
"No, that's enough." Snake Moon shook his head and looked at the little female. "It's just that Brother Snake Moon was thinking about some things and felt a little sad." Yes, he was thinking about some things and felt a little sad, that's all.
The little female looked at Snake Moon and said, "Brother Snake Moon, I'm so happy. I didn't know meat could taste so good." Hearing this, Snake Moon was slightly taken aback, but quickly nodded with a light laugh.
Forget it, why think so much? Let's focus on our work now. As for whether the Tiger Tribe will discard us after we've served our purpose, we'll see. If they will, we'll find a way to escape; if not, we'll stay for now.
The pit was about ten meters deep. Under these circumstances, each little beastman was a slave, and the females simply pulled out the soil and piled it up not far away.
The orcs went up the mountain to break rocks and then transported them back. As Shi Hu watched the snake tribe and others working, he turned to look at Huo Qiu and said, "These people have been appeased."
"Well, if they're restless and don't know what's good for them, we can deal with them when the time comes." He said calmly, looking into the distance. Those who don't know what's good for them don't need to be kept around.
Huo Qiu initially kept these people to work because he was short-handed. The problem was also whether these people were stupid. If they were stupid... then there was no need to keep them; he could just kill them.
If the people of the snake tribe can work in peace, once things are done here, I can arrange other things and provide them with a few meals. Of course, this all depends on the people's own choice.
Now it seems that these people's choices haven't disappointed him too much; at least they're not fools anymore. Hearing this, Shi Hu nodded. Shi Hu and Huo Qiu stood on the city wall, looking at the distance.
"I wonder what the Eastern Dragon is doing? Also... how exactly is the Turtle Tribe going to launch their attack? Everything is worrying," he said, looking at the distance.
"What are you afraid of? Uncle, don't underestimate our Tiger Clan. We've weathered so many storms. The Tiger Clan isn't one that anyone can bully now. Look... at those little beastmen, and then look at our Tiger Clan. We're no weaker than any super tribe." Even though there's still a difference in population.
However, in terms of combat strength, the Tiger Clan tribe is definitely ahead. Under such circumstances, Huo Qiu was not too worried. When he heard this, Shi Hu nodded and looked into the distance, "You're right, I was worrying too much. But do you think it's necessary to build such a wide city wall?"
"Of course it's necessary." Huo Qiu plans for the city wall to be 15 meters wide and 50 meters high. This project is enormous, and you can imagine how strong it is with a thickness of 15 meters.
“The tallest of these ferocious beasts is over fifty meters tall. If it weren’t fifty meters, something could easily go wrong. Also, I’m a little worried that this fifteen-meter thickness isn’t enough, given the impact of such a powerful attack.” He looked down and said, “So, we’ll add two more meters.”
"Well... alright." Shi Hu was speechless when he heard this, but he still nodded in the end. In fact, the city wall was thick enough now, but just like Huo Qiu said, the thicker the city wall, the better.
In this era, if ferocious beasts were allowed to break in, even if they possessed highly lethal weapons, they still couldn't change one thing: these ferocious beasts were extremely dangerous.
Huo Qiu glanced at the distance and said to Shi Hu, "Don't be too picky about the food, otherwise... these people won't have the strength to work." Looking down, he said, "Haitang asked me to send a witch doctor every month, and I'll have the witch doctor stationed here tomorrow."
"Don't worry." Shi Hu nodded when he looked at Huo Qiu, but shook his head when Huo Qiu left, feeling a mix of relief and complicated emotions.
So many years have passed, and the children have all grown up. Huoqiu has grown up and can stand on his own. Haitang, Xingxing, and Yueyue have also grown up and can do many things.
At this moment, I felt a sense of relief. This was for the best. Only under such circumstances could I protect the Tiger Clan and prevent them from being harmed.
