Chapter 1421: The Shennong Clan Must Perish

In the latter half of the year, the Xuanyuan Huaxia Alliance continued to push forward together, and just as Jiang Cheng had said, along the way, they truly did not encounter many tribes with relatively powerful strength.

Those smaller tribes only needed a simple beating, and they would give up resisting on their own; mainly because they had seen Jiang Cheng, and this person, on the way there, had also carried out a round of plundering against their small tribes, taking away much of their food, and now they had actually been defeated by Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe, and had surrendered.

They were very clear that if even the Jiebing Tribe could not defeat Jiang Cheng, how could they possibly do so? It was not that they had not seen people from the Jiebing Tribe, but the people of the Jiebing Tribe had been scattered in their fighting, with a single unit numbering no more than a few dozen, and they had not dared to harass these tribes, so they did not really know what had specifically happened.

As for these small tribes, the views of Xuanyuan and Lu were very consistent: let them retreat backward, leave the places where they currently resided, and go to the places that the Xuanyuan Tribe had already occupied.

The matter of accepting their surrender was handled entirely by Xuanyuan, and Xuanyuan naturally also offered appropriate compensation to Huaxia; the reason for doing this was because the Xuanyuan Tribe also needed tribes that were relatively balanced in gender and relatively healthy to consolidate and develop the lands he had occupied.

If they remained in their original places, next year they would very likely be seized again by the arriving Shennong Tribe, and these tribes would once again become a force attacking the Xuanyuan Tribe; after all, these tribes had no choice, and they could only listen to whoever had the bigger fist.

If they were to be brought back, the required expenditure would be even greater, because the distance was now too far, and the Logistics Team transporting food from the Xuanyuan Tribe was already struggling; they felt their own food was not that abundant either, and if the Logistics Team were to have any trouble on the road and be delayed for a few days, they would face the risk of running out of food.

Therefore, they did not dare to take such a big risk to take so many people into their own ranks; Lu also had this consideration, so he did not dare to bring up the idea of gathering these tribes, mainly because since Huaxia had merged with the Suiren Clan, they were actually not lacking in population, though it was acceptable to acquire population for Huaxia under suitable circumstances.

Because the Jiang Cheng Tribe did not need to participate in the fighting, they were left behind halfway, and they were told to find food and survive on their own first, and they would be picked up when the army returned; only Jiang Cheng was brought along in the unit, because Jiang Cheng's status was relatively important, he knew a lot, and he was needed to come forward to talk when facing some large tribes, or to tell Lu and Xuanyuan the specific situation of their enemies.

On the side of the Shennong Clan, the Shennong of this generation learned of the battle situation from the mouths of the Jiebing Tribe soldiers who had fled back, but he did not believe it.

Facing a unit of soldiers who were already in extreme disarray, he was already on the verge of a violent rage: "What kind of tribe can release Heavenly Thunder?! Last year, last year Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng lost the battle, and they used this reason to deceive me, and I forgave them.

Now, you are using this lie to deceive me again; do you think I will still believe it, and that I will still forgive you?!"

Linkui's violent rage was within the expectations of these soldiers, but they did not expect that Shennong would be unwilling to believe this matter; Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng had said it last year, and now they were saying it themselves, so what was there not to believe?

"Believe? How do you expect me to believe this? If they could release Heavenly Thunder, they would have long since let Heavenly Thunder strike Changyang Mountain, strike my head, but why hasn't it happened?

Heaven is always thundering, and even if I stand under dark clouds, not a single bolt of Heavenly Thunder will strike me, because I am Shennong! My ancestor is Shennong! If anyone can control Heavenly Thunder and release Heavenly Thunder, it can only be me!"

Linkui gradually could not control himself: "Fengbo deceived me, Yushi deceived me! Now you are deceiving me too?!

Where is Jiebing? Why is Jiebing not seen?! You say Jiebing is dead, then why did you return? Such a large tribe, why did only a few of you return?!"

"Why! Are you just afraid, so you ran away? Or did Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng also betray me, and Jiebing also betray me?

You are afraid that I would punish your tribe, so you came back to lie to me, is that it? Is it!"

Those soldiers had their heads touching the ground, but they still had to explain incessantly: "It is not so, Tribal Chief! It is not!

We truly could not defeat them! We even sent up our women, but we still could not defeat them, and the Tribal Chief is also dead!

Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng, their two tribes, perhaps, perhaps they are also as good as dead.

We did run, but that night, we truly had no other way, everyone was dead; if we had not run, we would not have been able to send this news back!"

"Good, good, good, you really did run; I do not believe Jiebing would flee, I do not believe Jiebing would die; if one Jiebing, plus Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng, still could not defeat one Xuanyuan, then wouldn't my Shennong Clan be destroyed by them?!

I will cut off the heads of you few fleeing rats to sacrifice to my ancestors!

As for your Jiebing Tribe, I will wait, I will wait a while longer; if I do not see Jiebing, do not see Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng, then whoever can defeat that Xuanyuan, or capture Jiebing and the others back, then these three tribes will all be his property, and I will bestow them all upon him!"

The soldiers kowtowed with thuds: "Do not, Tribal Chief, spare our tribe! We truly did not lie to you! Tribal Chief!"

Linkui remained unmoved: "Kill them!"

A soldier with red eyes suddenly stood up: "Linkui! You are not fit to be Shennong! You are ignorant, you are stupid! You are not a Shennong; the Shennong Clan is about to be destroyed in your hands!

Our Tribal Chief is already dead, he cannot come back! If you do not want the Shennong Clan to perish, then hurry and send all your soldiers over; otherwise, just wait for your head to be chopped off on Changyang Mountain to sacrifice to Xuanyuan's ancestors!"

"Ahhhhh!" Linkui roared, baring his teeth; this person's words had thoroughly enraged him, and he picked up a large battle-axe, then rushed over and slashed directly toward that person's head.

The axe got stuck in the head; he kicked with his foot, pulled out the axe, and then continued to slash, roaring in his mouth, venting incessantly, which made the other Leaders watching feel a tightness in their hearts, though they had seen such scenes many times before; they still felt a chill, wondering if they would be treated like this in the future.

The other soldiers also gave up shouting directly; they had exhausted their own tribes for the Shennong Clan, and their Tribal Chief was dead, yet they had ended up with such a fate, and their hearts were already thoroughly chilled.

One person suddenly shouted without fear: "The Shennong Clan will surely perish by your hand! The Shennong Clan will surely perish!"

"The Shennong Clan will surely perish! The Shennong Clan will surely perish!"

The remaining people shouted the same.
