Chapter 1437: They Are a Cannibal Tribe!

The Regimental Commander also suddenly recalled that there did seem to be such a tribe, the Wulengge Tribe, which had clashed with Huaxia back then and was defined as a hostile force; its strength was also relatively powerful, and among all the tribes in the world, it could be considered a large tribe.

At that time, it was evenly matched with the Jiangshui Tribe, but now the Jiangshui Tribe has been extinct for many years, and the territory of the Jiangshui Tribe has all become Huaxia's; now this Wulengge Tribe can be considered Huaxia's main enemy.

It is just that there has been no news of it for many years, and encountering the Wulengge Tribe so suddenly made the Regimental Commander a bit surprised; after all, ever since that earthquake, the Wulengge Tribe had lost contact, and they were not seen participating in the Golden Autumn Gathering either.

The Regimental Commander also keenly sensed a problem: if the Wulengge Tribe is out and active now, wouldn't they also be participating in the Golden Autumn Gathering? When the time comes, will Huaxia's ruling status still hold weight?

So the Regimental Commander hurriedly pressed: "Can you understand what we are saying?"

"Awu awu, Ibilisi..." The words spat out from the mouth of that prisoner of war were still completely unintelligible.

The Regimental Commander felt it was a bit tricky: "This is finished, can't understand a word; do we have anyone here who can understand what he says?"

The other Soldiers were also speechless: "Regimental Commander, we all grew up in Huaxia and are seeing people from the Wulengge Tribe for the first time; how could we possibly understand?"

"Oh dear, what should we do? Can't understand, can't ask anything out of them; now we don't even know how many of them there are or why they came here; this is troublesome."

The Regimental Commander had not expected that the first time he took charge of this job, it would be so tricky; if he had more Soldiers under his command, he wouldn't be afraid, but he only has a few hundred Soldiers now, and even if their equipment is good and they have Bombs in their hands, it is still difficult to resist an entire tribe.

Moreover, they feel that they should be very familiar with the environment here and have a greater advantage than Huaxia; their number of Soldiers should also be a bit higher. If they launch sneak attacks like this once or twice, not only will Huaxia be exhausted from responding, but they will also be slowly depleted. If they are bold and fearless of death, daring to charge over while braving Huaxia's Bombs, then Huaxia would hardly have any chance to resist. The Regimental Commander is also very worried.

"Quick, send a message to Huaxia, tell them the situation here, and see if Huaxia City will provide us with support; but even if there is support, we might not be able to wait for it. If we don't hold out, it will just be for them to avenge us." The Regimental Commander made the worst-case plan, and he continued to arrange: "Tie them up and hang them on the trees outside; see if they will come to save them. If they don't, then hang them to death."

"Starting tonight, begin resting in three shifts. For every shift, set up the Shields, guard all four directions, and take this opportunity to collect more firewood quickly. Light up the fire pits in every direction; as long as we aren't sneak-attacked at night, we will be stable."

The Regimental Commander sighed again: "Sigh! Not a single one who can understand!"

The Soldiers immediately took action. Several prisoners of war were tied up, bound with vines, and hung on the trees. Because their hands and feet had been pierced, let alone escaping, even struggling was a very difficult thing for them.

As for those enemies who were killed, a casual count of the corpses showed that they had already killed nearly thirty people; it is estimated that there are others who escaped with serious injuries, and those will most likely die.

They did not deal with those corpses, but just lit a few fires in that direction to block insects that might run over, as well as things that might carry diseases.

Using one's hands to touch and deal with those corpses is absolutely out of the question; they are dirty and smelly, the kind where you feel you'll catch a disease just by touching them. Those few prisoners of war are at least still living people, so they can barely be touched, but dead people are truly out of the question.

Although it might smell all night, they won't be staying here for long; they will leave early tomorrow morning and hurry to the next camp. No matter what, their mission is to attend the Golden Autumn Gathering; if they really can't make it, then they will retreat. Huaxia's Soldiers are not too rigid.

After all, if these people of theirs were surrounded by a tribe, they would definitely have no ability to resist. Rationally using the Bombs they carry might still give them a chance to escape with their lives. Preserving their effective strength to return home and report detailed information to Huaxia is more important; there is no point in forcing their way to the Golden Autumn Gathering.

The corpse of his comrade was burned with fire downwind, and then the ashes were collected and wrapped in cloth; the same went for the dog's, as they must be brought home.

It was just that the scene of putting people on the firewood gave the savage who was secretly watching from afar a huge fright. When he confirmed that Huaxia had lit the fire and started burning people, he hurriedly returned to his own tribe.

"Tribal Chief! It's bad! It's bad! The one we encountered is a Cannibal Tribe!" (Translated version)

The Tribal Chief of a small tribe of the Wulengge Tribe had encountered such a seemingly wealthy tribe halfway and was preparing to rob them. Who could have imagined that their strength would be so great? Not only did they beat them back, but they also used a very strange thing to blow many of them to death, which also scared them out of their wits.

This place has already been designated by them as the territory of the Wulengge Tribe, because they have already confirmed that the Jiangshui Tribe is extinct. Since the Jiangshui Tribe is gone, the land is naturally occupied by the most powerful Wulengge Tribe here, so they can attack any tribe that appears on this land, regardless of whether they are going to attend the Golden Autumn Gathering or not.

To attend the Golden Autumn Gathering and want to get what you want, you still have to trade for it; how could that be as fast as robbing it directly? They had already robbed one, but they didn't expect this small but very wealthy tribe to be a tough nut to crack.

Now, the report from the Soldier who went to spy and monitor gave everyone an even bigger fright: "What?! A cannibal tribe?! Did you see them eating people? Were our tribesmen eaten by them?"

"They, they... I saw them hung up, it looks like they are going to be hung to be cured like bacon! They are still calling out, still crying!"

"They put a person, it seems to be one of their own tribesmen, on the fire to roast; once it's roasted, they will definitely eat it." That Soldier was in extreme fear, because the level of fear between being killed and being eaten is different.

Being killed means you are on the same level, you just didn't beat the opponent; but being eaten means you are on their menu, a relationship between prey and predator, which is somewhat terrifying.
