Chapter 1398: All Dead

Jiang Cheng is quite clear about his own situation now. Having returned to the Shennong Clan, nothing awaits him but the severe punishment of the Shennong. Not to mention the tribespeople he brought with him, the remaining tribespeople would not have a good life either. It would be better to preserve his own tribespeople first.

The most urgent matter is to unite with the other two tribes first. Their combat strength has been weakened to the extreme, and there is not a shred of hope for victory. If they gather together, everyone can pool their wisdom and think of a way to see what to do next.

Jiang Cheng led the remaining men and women, numbering about several thousand, and took a long detour to head toward the Jiebing Tribe. Going to find Jiebing now is probably the best choice.

Looking up at the mountaintop, one cannot even see a few Soldiers. If the enemy were to charge down, they could only run as fast as they could.

Jiang Cheng does not even have time to count how many of his Soldiers have died or how many supplies are left. In any case, he will take as much as he can. His surviving Soldiers are certainly not fake. The camp was dismantled directly, and then they marched rapidly.

When he arrived at the Jiebing Tribe, he was given a big fright, because the people of the Jiebing Tribe actually took out their Weapons and aimed them at them.

"What are you doing? I am Jiang Cheng! Where is your Tribal Chief?! Let him come out and speak!" Jiang Cheng shouted at those Jiebing Tribe Soldiers.

The Jiebing Tribe Soldiers thought Jiang Cheng had also brought people to snatch their food, so they were very vigilant. But once they saw that he had brought so many people, and their own group, which was not very united, was no match at all, they had no choice but to put down their Weapons and answer the questions honestly.

"Tribal Chief Jiang Cheng! Our Tribal Chief is missing, and we haven't even found his dead body. Now the Soldiers don't know what to do and are inside snatching food!"

Jiang Cheng was greatly shocked: "Is Jiebing dead? Or did he flee? Why is no one to be found? Did your Tribal Chief go up the mountain with you yesterday?"

Those Soldiers all shook their heads: "The Tribal Chief did not go; the Tribal Chief was watching from the foot of the mountain the whole time. But when we returned, the Tribal Chief could no longer be found."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng began to feel anxious in his heart. Jiebing is dead, and now there is trouble. Moreover, the Jiebing Tribe has already begun to have internal strife. What should they do next?

He came to discuss matters with Jiebing. Now that Jiebing is dead and the tribe is in chaos, does he have to take over the mess of the Jiebing Tribe?

But thinking of the enemy facing him, Jiang Cheng did not have time to consider so much: "What is the situation in your tribe? Why are you fighting? Aren't you all one tribe?"

"Tribal Chief Jiang Cheng, some Soldiers do not want to return to the Shennong Clan and want to snatch food and leave on their own. There are also Soldiers like us who want to stay, saying that perhaps the Tribal Chief will return. In order to survive, we must snatch food."

"And that is the food of our Jiebing Tribe. They are already preparing to flee the Jiebing Tribe, so why should they take our food?"

"Fine, I understand. As long as you people are willing to listen to me, I will solve the problem for you, alright?" Jiang Cheng decided to unite those who could be united first and solve their troubles for them.

The Soldier naturally agreed. Someone with status had intervened, and with so many people under his command, he would certainly be able to quickly quell the chaos.

Sure enough, after Jiang Cheng brought his people into the camp, it immediately became much quieter.

"I am Jiang Cheng! Your Tribal Chief is gone, so I will handle your problems for now."

"We have already lost this war and cannot fight anymore. The remaining people from our tribes combined, including the women, are not many, so we cannot fight again."

"However, we must also look at what we are going to do in the future. I heard that some of you want to flee on your own and leave the Jiebing Tribe. Then those of you who want to, just leave. Do not take any more food; that belongs to the Jiebing Tribe. Just leave with your own Weapons."

As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, someone with a hot temper questioned him loudly: "Why should you be the one to decide? You are not a person of our Jiebing Tribe!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand, and the tribespeople behind him took a step forward: "I am not a person of your Jiebing Tribe, but I am a person of the Shennong Clan. I am also a Tribal Chief. You are just a Soldier; isn't it natural for me to manage you?"

"Besides, with so many tribespeople and Soldiers behind me, why shouldn't what I say count? How many Soldiers can you get to support you?"

That Soldier instantly lost his confidence, because they were only a small part of the Jiebing Tribe. Moreover, many people with the same thoughts as them had already run off after snatching food. They belonged to those who had not yet snatched food and could not easily run away. Now, facing Jiang Cheng, they truly had no confidence at all.

Jiang Cheng issued an ultimatum: "You people, leave now. In the future, just don't say you are from the Jiebing Tribe, and don't say you are from the Shennong Clan either."

Seeing there was no other way, those Soldiers could only take their Weapons and leave very unwillingly. They also knew that once they left, they would be wandering savages in the future. How difficult it is to create a new tribe without a foundation; it is almost impossible.

But the possibility of returning to the Shennong Clan to become a Slave is even higher, and then being tortured to death. It is better to seek survival in the wilderness; perhaps they might live longer.

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to take control of the Jiebing Tribe's Soldiers, the Soldiers of the Jiang Ming Tribe also snuck over. Seeing that the people of Jiang Cheng's tribe were also there, their courage grew much larger.

Jiang Cheng saw a Leader he was relatively familiar with and asked him: "Where is Jiang Ming?"

That Leader lowered his head: "Tribal Chief, the Tribal Chief is dead."

This news could be said to be extremely bad for Jiang Cheng, beyond the essential shock and grief of Jiebing's disappearance and the death of his own brother.

"Jiang Ming is dead? How could he possibly die? He wouldn't go to charge into battle, so how did he die?"

The Leader's expression was also very painful: "Tribal Chief Jiang Cheng, our Tribal Chief indeed did not go to fight, but, but we looked everywhere this morning and finally found him among the dead. We don't know how he died, but he is dead."

"Then we discussed it and decided to come over and unite with everyone to see what should be done. We have no Tribal Chief and no way to decide on major matters."

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng was silent for a long time. He pointed to the Jiebing Tribe and said: "It is not just Jiang Ming; Jiebing is also dead. Now, of our tribes, only this many of us are left."

"What?!!! Jiebing is also dead?"

Jiang Cheng added: "He should be missing, but he is likely dead as well."
