Chapter 1490: The Dissipation of the Golden Autumn Gathering

"Although the King says he wants to wipe out the entire Wulengge Tribe, given the current situation, this is not something that can be accomplished in a short time; it might take several years."

"If it weren't for the fact that Lema City has also started recruiting and training soldiers, this time we probably would have only been able to rescue you and seek revenge, without daring to talk about wiping them out entirely."

"The Shennong Clan Battlefield is expanding, and it is estimated that the final decisive battle will take place within these two years. Our Huaxia must also commit more combat power and resources, so there will be even fewer soldiers and resources that can be spared for the Wulengge Tribe."

"Anyway, as it stands, the King's emphasis on the Shennong Clan is far higher than on the Wulengge Tribe. After all, as you can see, the Shennong Clan is such a large tribe, the largest in the world; how could he not value it? The benefits that can be gained from it are unimaginably large, whereas the Wulengge Tribe is just a place full of savages..."

"Sigh, it's not too bad now; after all, knowing that they domesticate livestock means the benefits we can get are actually quite significant, unlike other savage tribes where you conquer them and get nothing, and still have to rely on us to support them. If these spoils and information were brought back to Huaxia, the King should value this place more."

Huaxia had wiped out one of the Wulengge Tribe's settlements and brought the spoils back to Huaxia, but at the Golden Autumn Gathering, they hoped to see the Huaxia tribe again, only to be disappointed.

Not to mention the military strength of Huaxia, they were able to maintain the order of the gathering very fairly. Most importantly, Huaxia was generous, could provide them with salt, and when trading, the items they gave were the best, and the prices were higher. Who wouldn't like such a tribe?

Last year, the White Disaster was too severe, and basically all the tribes could not successfully reach the place of the Golden Autumn Gathering; they turned back halfway. Missing one year's opportunity had already disappointed them, and as a result, this year, they still did not see Huaxia.

Not seeing Huaxia was one thing, but they were also unlucky enough to encounter the Wulengge Tribe. The Wulengge Tribe did follow the rules at the gathering, but only to a certain extent, because they discovered that there was no tribe at the entire gathering that could compete with them; they were all small and medium-sized tribes, and not many people had come.

Therefore, they manifested their savage nature, taking advantage and making threats; all sorts of methods emerged, making this trade a complete mess. All the tribes were unconvinced, but they lacked the ability to resist.

They really hoped that Huaxia would suddenly return, defeat the Wulengge Tribe, and compensate for their losses. Unfortunately, more than half of the gathering time had passed, and no one from Huaxia had been seen. Huaxia's location had also been occupied by the Wulengge Tribe, and they were even less refined, making the water all dirty, and people from all the tribes were full of grievances.

After feeling that there was no hope, some tribes prepared to leave, but the Wulengge Tribe wanted everything; if you wanted to leave, they would send people to intercept you and rob you of all your wealth.

At the gathering, one must follow the rules. After all, although their tribe had many people, if they were pushed too far and all the tribes here united, these people from the Wulengge Tribe would also be finished, so they would choose to target those who were alone.

Tribes that understood the temperament of the Wulengge Tribe would sneak away at night. By the next day, when the Wulengge Tribe discovered it, it was too late; they had no energy to spare to chase over such a long distance and could only continue to keep an eye on the remaining tribes.

The tribes that escaped made up their minds never to come to the Golden Autumn Gathering again. In the past, when the Jiangshui Tribe was there, the Wulengge Tribe was kept in check, and the Jiangshui Tribe was also reasonable and would not treat them like this. The trade at the Golden Autumn Gathering could be said to be very good; everyone was active and enthusiastic, and they could indeed exchange for good things and get what they needed. After a gathering, it was always beneficial.

But now it is different. The Jiangshui Tribe has perished, and Huaxia has not come either. With two large tribes gone, it meant that the biggest customers were gone, because when they came to trade, they all brought their own specialties or strange things, mainly relying on luck to fleece the wealthy, as those large tribes liked strange things.

You see, between each tribe, the things exchanged were just the same things back and forth. What you have, I likely have too. If you can't exchange for the food you want, then the meaning of the gathering is gone, because there is no profit to be made.

Now they also have to face an unreasonable Wulengge Tribe. After a gathering, not only is there no profit, but one might even lose everything. It is too dangerous; there is no need to come again.

Almost all the tribes now hold such an idea: next year, they will no longer come to participate in the gathering, and they will not come in the future either, unless a wealthy and civilized large tribe like Huaxia can reorganize a decent gathering; only then would they consider continuing to participate.

The Wulengge Tribe itself came with the attitude of taking advantage; if they could rob everything, they would rob everything. They didn't care what would happen next year; what was robbed this year was this year's profit, and next year would be dealt with next year. And so, the Wulengge Tribe successfully ruined the entire Golden Autumn Gathering this year, and there will never be a Golden Autumn Gathering again.

The last of the tribes, feeling that the number of tribes at the gathering was getting smaller and smaller, all sensed a crisis. So, one night, after discussing it, they all left together, because if they didn't leave, once the Wulengge Tribe felt that all those tribes combined posed no threat to them, they would definitely start their robbery mode without hesitation or concealment, and all these tribes would be finished.

Rather than waiting for death, it was better to run now. If they ran now, the chance of survival would be greater. Everyone reached a tacit understanding and ran away under the cover of night.

The people of the Wulengge Tribe were a bit slow-witted and didn't know how to leave people to keep watch at night, because they felt their military strength was the strongest and were not afraid of being ambushed at all, which instead gave those tribes an opportunity.

When the Wulengge Tribe woke up the next day, they found that the entire gathering place was empty. Knowing they had been played, they began to pursue, their purpose no longer concealed.

After getting far away, those tribes scattered and headed toward their own tribes. As for who would be caught by the Wulengge Tribe after leaving, it was unknown; it depended on who was the unluckiest.
