Chapter 450: Rongdi Joins the Small Town and Becomes the First Generation General
No one expected Rongdi to actually come; not only did he come, he also brought the leader of the Giant Tribe.
Aurora!
Aurora was captured by Rongdi and brought here to hand over to Ying; naturally Ying and Yao were very pleased. Ying immediately ordered a bonfire lit, slaughtered a pig and a sheep to celebrate Aurora's capture.
The capture of the Giant Tribe's leader signals their absolute victory.
This day is a carnival for all the townsfolk.
Ying sent people to prepare tonight's meal, while he went with Rongdi and Nan Qinghuan to the highest point of the Small Town.
This is a fortified bunker built outside the region against enemies, extremely sturdy; after Rongdi inspected Ying's town facilities, he truly felt ashamed.
So this is what the Small Town is like.
His tribe at most, and compared to here it is very poor and backward.
He also saw many houses sprouting up here; he knew those people were outsiders, hard to imagine Ying would abandon the tribe to become a Town.
Let all the people of Jiuzhou Dadi come to live, breed, and thrive.
Twilight draped low, a cool wind gently brushed.
Rongdi looked at the dimly lit town; at this moment he was glad he hadn't been provoked by Aurora, because such a wonderful place being destroyed would be…
That would truly be a pity!
"Ying, your Small Town is getting livelier and livelier, impressive."
He now had to admire Nan Qinghuan's wit; she truly is an extraordinary woman.
Ying felt a bit awkward, because he had taken in many tribespeople here, all of whom belong to Rongdi.
After thinking, he muttered, "Come, people."
Soon, Dashan hurried from behind, "Ying."
"Give all this money to Rongdi."
There was a lot of money, all given to Rongdi; Rongdi saw this scene but was puzzled, "Why give me money? What does it mean?"
He looked at the sizable sum; why would Ying give him money? Ying just smiled, "All this money was used by your people to buy land; I'm returning it to you. As long as you give a single order, I'll drive all those people away, not let them stay here. How does that sound?"
Ying knew many of Rongdi's people had arrived; now Rongdi calls this a town, it doesn't even look like a tribe anymore. Without his people, what can he use as a leader? So when Rongdi sent Aurora, it proved his heart; since that's the case, Ying isn't the type to take advantage.
He doesn't want Ying's people; let them all go back.
Hearing this, Rongdi's gaze fell on the pot of money in Dashan's hand; the coins glittered in the candlelight, and he chuckled, "These coins are from your land sale, giving them to me is inappropriate."
"You don't want them?"
Rongdi sneered, "Of course I don't. Where they choose to live is their freedom. Though I am their leader, I won't stop them from having a better life."
Hearing this, Ying and Dashan exchanged a look; it seemed Rongdi had truly changed a lot.
"But your town there…"
"I won't speak of my town there; look at yours, it barely qualifies as a town."
Ying felt somewhat guilty toward Rongdi; he had helped him a lot, yet in the end it seemed he suffered losses. He wanted to compensate him, but didn't know how. Giving his people away he didn't want, giving food and drink Rongdi wouldn't accept, so… it's really hard.
"Rongdi, I…"
"Haha, Ying, will you also have a day of hesitation?"
Rongdi actually teased Ying; Ying laughed heartily, "Never mind, what are your plans now? Aurora's capture won't let the Giant Tribe settle peacefully."
"I guessed it long ago, so I came to you to discuss: do we first advance on the Giant Tribe's palace, or first attack the Lasi Tribe?"
This was a matter they had planned years ago; now Aurora comes to sow discord, so don't blame Rongdi!
Hearing Rongdi's words, Ying slightly frowned, "Hold on, let me first show you how our Army's training is going."
"Army?"
Rongdi smiled, "No rush, I came today with another matter."
"What matter?"
Then Rongdi's gaze fell on Ying, and he clapped his hands.
"Lone Wolf, bring the item."
Soon, Lone Wolf came from behind, hesitating, "Leader, really have to do this?"
"Bring it over."
Quickly, he took a skull from Lone Wolf's hand; it was an animal skull, very fierce‑looking, yet it represented the highest authority of a Beastman leader.
He pressed his palms together in silence for a moment, then truly made up his mind; perhaps this was the best choice for them.
"Ying, this is the Rongdi Tribe's token; today I hand it to you. From today onward, the Rongdi Tribe declares its dissolution, and we officially join the Small Town."
Hearing this, Dashan was stunned.
What, Rongdi also wants to join them? How could that be? Ying was also quite surprised; Li Xiang and Nan Qinghuan, who came from behind, were also shocked by Rongdi's words.
Rongdi even proactively asked Yao to join the Small Town? "Rongdi, have you thought this through?"
Li Xiang stepped forward briskly, seeing him hand this item to Ying; he had seen it before, previously Rongdi never let anyone touch it, Duoluo said it represented the tribe's authority.
Now he is giving this item to Ying.
Nan Qinghuan also didn't expect this; she hadn't even persuaded him yet, and Rongdi already understood? This is unbelievable!
She hurried forward, looking at Rongdi, "Rongdi, have you really thought it through, to merge with us?"
From then on they will all be Small Town people, no longer any leader distinction, and then they will establish rules, and set up a dedicated department to manage disputes and daily trivialities.
They will also build a School to teach children to read and write.
They will gradually move toward a new civilization.
Rongdi knows they don't all believe it; actually he himself isn't fully convinced, but after coming here he decided completely, because he saw his people living well, eating better than before, and their bodies fatter; the children's laughter cannot be deceived.
He isn't a backward Beastman; if only change, then only change.
Being an ordinary Beastman, he also wants to integrate, do business, get rich.
"Nan Qinghuan, Ying, I've already decided; are you welcoming them?"
Under the candlelight, Rongdi's smile was exceedingly sincere; it was the most dashing smile Nan Qinghuan had ever seen.
Ying and Nan Qinghuan exchanged a glance; he suddenly let out a bright laugh, both hands reaching to seize Rongdi's hand, gripping it tightly.
"Today is a day of great joy, the grand day of our Ying Town; welcome the people of Rongdi to join the town."
"Welcome to join."
