Chapter 262: The Enraged Qiexin

The Suiren Clan's offensive had constant interruptions along the way, but overall, there were no major mishaps; they kept pushing forward, and the surrounding men were constantly sweeping through every place they reached.

At this time, they would not care if the people inside belonged to the Qiexin Tribe; whenever they saw a tribe, they would pick out the strongest Soldiers to kill, drag out the Tribal Chief or Leader to kill them as well, tie up all the remaining people, and finally treat them as Slaves. Only if they were from some large tribe would they possibly be released in the end.

As for those who wanted to resist, not a single one would be missed, so as not to affect their plan.

It was not that no tribes wanted to resist, but mainly that the people of each tribe could not unite; they were like loose sand. Those who fled, fled; those who accepted their fate, accepted it. The Suiren Clan only felt it was chaotic and did not receive much of a threat; after all, a Small Team had over a hundred people, and their military force could be said to be overwhelming.

The real main force, over ten thousand people, charged directly toward the main camp of the Qiexin Tribe. Along the way, they would not care about other matters, including the people who had infiltrated earlier; at this time, they also began to play a role, having long since surrounded and killed the Qiexin Tribe's guarding Soldiers.

The settlement of the Qiexin Tribe was very large, so large that even if someone shouted, it would not carry very far. Qiexin was sleeping peacefully in the largest tent in the middle of the tribe, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

A Soldier who had escaped wanted to go and report the news, but behind him were the Suiren Clan Soldiers in hot pursuit. He not only had to run in the dim light but also had to dodge the flying Spears coming from behind by listening to the sound of the wind.

His companions had either been killed at the start or pierced to death by Spears on the way. In his heart, he no longer had the thought of reporting the news; he only wanted to run quickly, as long as he could survive.

Because he was unfamiliar with the road, the Suiren Clan Soldiers eventually lost the trail. They did not rashly rush in either, so they waited on the road for the main force while also slowing down to recover their strength.

They were no longer afraid of the news leaking out because they could already hear the sound of the main force running. The Qiexin Tribe was so large that by the time their Tribal Chief received the news and began to organize men, they would already be able to advance halfway.

The person who escaped did not think about reporting the enemy situation first; instead, he found a hidden corner, crouched down in the shadows, clutched his chest, steadied his heart which was about to jump out of his throat, and rejoiced that he had escaped a disaster.

Only after his emotions calmed down a little did he remember to report it. However, he did not shout while running; instead, he ran directly toward the Tribal Chief's tent. At a time like this, shouting while running was of little use; it would only wake the tribesmen from their sleep, and then they would be confused and ask what happened, which would instead hinder him.

Furthermore, the place was too big, and it was impossible for him to shout to everyone. It was better to let his wise Tribal Chief think of a way, and only the Tribal Chief could organize the Soldiers to resist.

The Suiren Clan Soldiers began a comprehensive sweep of the Qiexin Tribe. As long as they saw a Tent or an earthen cave, they would first stab it twice with a long Spear, then push over the Tent, confiscate the Weapon inside, and tie up or hack the people to death. Their actions were swift, without any hesitation.

At the beginning, they were extremely smooth, but after advancing not far, they began to feel resistance. After all, the commotion was so great that those nearby could still guess what had happened.

Those who should be notified were notified, and those who should resist resisted. However, there were too few people, and it was too hasty; they were simply no match for the Suiren Clan. Yet, it was this initial resistance that caused the Suiren Clan to suffer casualties as well.

The first Qiexin Tribe Soldiers to resist were killed without exception. Because they were surrounded, it might take three or four people to trade for one Suiren Clan Soldier; it could be said to be very tragic.

In a Tent built by sewing dozens of cowhides together, Qiexin was sleeping soundly surrounded by a group of women, but he was startled awake by the noise outside. This made him feel very annoyed. He was about to shout and scold the Soldier guarding the night for him, but he did not expect that the Soldier would also rush in directly in a panic, which made Qiexin's mood even worse.

He casually picked up a log he had been using as a pillow and smashed it at the guard. The guard did not have time to dodge and was hit on the head.

The guard only felt a tightness on his head, and then his face felt cool; it did not hurt much. He casually wiped away the liquid that was blocking his vision and hurriedly told the news he had heard to the Tribal Chief.

He did not care about any rules anymore and shouted directly: "Tribal Chief, enemies have killed their way here! The number is extremely large; they probably want to seize our entire Qiexin Tribe!"

Qiexin was stunned for a moment, cleared his brain for a few seconds, then kicked away the woman who was in his way, and without even putting on clothes, rushed directly toward his Weapon.

He picked up his Bronze great axe, looked up to the sky and roared, then walked out of the Tent and shouted: "Brave Soldiers, enemies have come! Quickly pick up your Weapons and defend the Qiexin Tribe together!"

He shouted once, but there was no response. He shouted again, and only then did people nearby, in twos and threes, run out of their Tents in a panic to look at the Tribal Chief. Qiexin became more and more angry and threw his axe directly at a Soldier who was still holding a woman. It did not hit the person, but it smashed into the ground, which also startled that person awake.

After Qiexin roared again, the people nearby hurriedly took out Weapons from their own Tents and surrounded the Tribal Chief to wait for orders.

Most of the people around him were naked, but Qiexin did not care. He hurriedly issued orders, telling all the Leaders to quickly gather their Soldiers, and all the women should also pick up Weapons. There was no need to worry about the children and the elderly; if they died, they died.

The order was passed down, and the gathering speed became a bit faster. The autumn dawn was not very cold, but rather muggy. A breeze blew over, bringing a strong smell of blood and the screams of humans.

Qiexin's face was as ugly as the sky. Seeing that the people were mostly gathered, he had no patience to wait any longer and led the people directly toward the direction of the enemy. As for those who had not come yet, he would naturally settle accounts after the battle.

Of course, he did not believe that his tribe would be wiped out. Such a huge tribe, with the accumulation of who knows how many generations, could be considered to have some fame on this land. I am afraid that apart from those few larger tribes, no one could wipe them out.

However, Qiexin did not know that it was the Suiren Clan that had attacked. He only thought that some blind tribe was coveting their Qiexin Tribe and wanted to grab some benefits while the gathering was in chaos.
