"Fight for the tribe!"
The powerful concluding remark ignited the passion of the group of males, making them eager to rush out and wipe out the invading orcs.
They stood tall and proud, ready to fight the impending invaders to the death.
Among the beasts, Aoki and Wolf King Yang Yun huddled together.
"She went in?" Wolf King lowered his eyes, lost in thought.
"Yes, they're inside."
Relieved to receive a positive response, Yang Yun felt at ease.
Aoki was furious and said in a deep voice, "Wolf King, you stay here to protect the cubs. I'll go fight those vile beasts!"
His icy expression sent chills down the spines of even the beasts, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
Yang Yun nodded in agreement.
"No, you come with me to fight. Yang Yun will stay behind to protect the cubs." The Wolf King's tone was gentle, but his words left no room for argument.
Yang Yun is thoughtful; it's best for him to stay and take care of her.
Aoki hesitated, then opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
The Wolf King may seem easy to talk to, but he is actually very opinionated. His decisions are the result of repeated consideration and cannot be swayed by any beast.
And so, the beasts in the square split into two groups.
One group followed the chief to the outskirts of the tribe, while another group scattered to go home and fetch their mates.
Yang Yun's peach blossom eyes were as bright as cold stars, and his eyebrows and features were as exquisite as a painting. At this moment, he was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for Sheng Xia to come out.
He didn't know if the baby was sleeping in the space, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him and just quietly packed his things.
After tidying up the baby's clothes, I also gathered some common food items, then returned to the room and sat quietly waiting.
Before long, the height of summer arrived.
As soon as she came out, she saw Yang Yun by the bed, her head bowed, leaning against the bed.
When he noticed Shengxia coming out, he looked up in surprise, his delicate eyelashes slightly curled up, and his deep peach blossom eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Isn't the baby asleep?"
Shengxia raised her hand, touched his beautiful eyelashes, and chuckled, "I can't sleep without you guys. What's going on now?"
I wonder how Aoki and Wolf are doing.
Having gotten used to sleeping with a beast by her side, she couldn't fall asleep by herself, even though she was very tired.
Yang Yun pulled her hand down, held it in his palm and played with it carefully, his clear and melodious voice ringing in her ear.
“There’s an outside male hiding in the Yafatu Forest. There’s bound to be a battle. Wolf King and Aoki went with him. Little one, come with me to the cub cave later.”
Sheng Xia's smile froze slightly as a strong sense of unease welled up inside her. Her brows furrowed, and she looked thoughtful.
"Coming to steal supplies?"
Every year during the snow season, some tribes are driven to the brink of desperation and have no other choice but to come out and scramble for resources.
Some tribes, lacking strong warriors, were unable to withstand the beast tides and suffered heavy losses. During the snowy season, they lacked sufficient food and could not survive.
Some tribes, on the other hand, are simply out hunting and looting because of food shortages.
In short, they're up to no good!
"Don't be afraid, little one. We have plenty of food this year, and all the warriors are well-fed. After resting for so long, they are at their strongest. Besides, we have the Wolf King with us."
Yang Yun pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her back and softly comforting her.
"Yeah, I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried..."
"I didn't go into battle because my cub needs to be protected by a beast, it wasn't that I deliberately tried to escape..."
Shengxia could hear the caution in his tone. She felt that they had all gone out to defend against the enemy, and he was in the rear. He was afraid that Shengxia would misunderstand him as deserting his post and not being brave.
“I know you are all brave and great males. It must be because you are so thoughtful that the Wolf King asked you to stay and take care of me.”
Yang Yun's throat tightened, his heart softened, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and gratitude.
"Um."
As night deepened, Shangxia nestled in Yangyun's arms, her thoughts drifting.
"Do all the females go to the cub cave? How long do they stay there?" Shengxia asked, puzzled.
It's inconvenient to retrieve items from the cub cave, so you should take them out beforehand. It's best to bring some inconspicuous smoked meat or sausages.
"All the females are going. In previous years, the trip usually lasted about seven days, but this year it should be faster, around three days..."
Yang Yun answered earnestly and carefully, without being perfunctory just because the little one didn't understand.
"Okay, let's pack our things and head over to the meeting point as soon as possible."
In the height of summer, her eyes shone brightly, even brighter than stars washed by rain.
The cub cave... just thinking about it gives me a headache, what should I do?
With so many females crammed together and the hole not being very big, life must be quite inconvenient.
There was no other way; we couldn't expose the space, so we had to bite the bullet and go for it.
"I've packed everything up and put it in the living room. Would you like something to eat before you go, little one?" Yang Yun chuckled softly, turning her head to the side.
Sheng Xia waved her hand repeatedly, saying, "Just kidding, how can you handle eating in the middle of the night?"
"I'm not hungry, let's go."
At this very moment, on the outskirts of the tribe.
The males stood ready, atop the city walls with imposing air.
The persistently low temperatures have resulted in continuous snowfall, making life difficult for tribes throughout the orc continent.
After much deliberation, a group of males from the Lamobu tribe decided to take action against the Yafatu tribe.
This is a small tribe; it won't take much effort to fight them.
Like Yafatu, their tribe was nestled against the mountains, deep in the Lamobu Forest, but they had a much larger number of orcs than the Yafatu tribe.
But they didn't expect to see such a scene when they arrived.
The tall and sturdy walls provided excellent protection for the tribe, making it look nothing like a weak or vulnerable tribe.
They had no idea where to start, and they couldn't turn back; their tribe was two days and nights' journey from Yafatu.
