Chapter 405: Baoxi Reunites

Baoxi has already led the troop to a point only a very short distance from the border, but this time he does not have much confidence in his heart; however, he is already prepared to pay a great price, even if all thirty thousand Soldiers die, it does not matter.

As long as they can conquer Huaxia, then all the troubles of their Suiren Clan can be solved easily; the massive population and the lack of food supplies can both be resolved in one war, and there is nothing more cost-effective than this.

It is just that he is very wary of Huaxia's Weaponry; those Iron weapons are far stronger than the stone weapons they are most equipped with.

Of course, it is not that the Suiren Clan has no metal weapons; after all, they are a super-large tribe that has continued for so long, and their foundation cannot just be land and population; after so many years of smelting, it has also allowed him to equip a troop of several thousand people with Bronze Weapons.

This troop is his trump card; the reason why he has been able to sit firmly in the position of Tribal Chief under such high-pressure conditions is partly due to bloodline inheritance, but this troop is the most important thing; it is just that in ordinary wars, he would not let this troop appear.

This time he brought half of them, a troop of over two thousand with Bronze Knives and Swords, the reason being his full awareness of Huaxia's weapons.

But then again, their understanding of Huaxia is truly too little; on the entire land, there are not many people who know the location of Huaxia City, and the trade between them is at a fixed time and place, without needing to be specially notified like the Xuanyuan Tribe.

They have even less seen the wandering savages and Sages who have come out of Huaxia; perhaps there are some, but they have likely all died in the wilderness.

The number of people is unknown, the military strength is unknown, but its wealth is known to everyone; otherwise, they would not take food to trade for bitter tree leaves that no one eats.

This time, what makes Baoxi feel a bit more secure is that although Xuanyuan had no intention of forming an alliance with them to fight, nor did he reveal Huaxia's combat strength to them, he did tell them the general direction of Huaxia City; as long as they enter Huaxia and head in that direction, they will definitely be able to find it, without having to waste that time wandering around like headless flies.

At this moment, in the Suiren Clan camp, everyone is anxiously pacing in place; having no leader is the most terrifying thing, but they have been unable to wait for the Tribal Chief, and in their minds, they have already imagined countless accidents that could have happened to the Tribal Chief.

Fortunately, at this time, there is finally a Soldier who brings news that the Tribal Chief is arriving.

Those small Leaders are incomparably joyful, finally not having to suffer like this, so they hurriedly get up and start running, wanting to tell the news to the Tribal Chief as early as possible.

Baoxi does not know what happened, but he sees that there are already garrisoned soldiers running to the camp, probably to notify Lanzai and Gongxia; this is for the best, as it can save him more time.

But the moment he just entered the camp, he felt that something was not quite right; everyone was sitting on the ground, motionless, not working, just sitting like that; Baoxi felt a bit unhappy in his heart, just wanting to have someone go and call Lanzai and Gongxia immediately; these two people should not have made such a mistake, letting the Soldiers rest without doing anything. If they do not prepare now, how will the subsequent war be fought?

But before he even finished speaking, several Soldiers whom he only found somewhat familiar but could not name rushed over.

Before Baoxi could react, those people knelt on the ground and shouted with a voice carrying a bit of sobbing: "Tribal Chief, Leaders Gongxia and Lanzai are dead!"

Baoxi doubted his own ears, so he questioned: "Who did you say is dead?"

The crowd continued to kowtow: "It is Leader Lanzai and Leader Gongxia."

Baoxi felt that he had heard something incredible; he had never thought that two extremely formidable Soldiers, the two people he trusted the most, would actually be dead after only a few days of not seeing them.

Baoxi had to ask: "How did they die? Did I not say before I came that they should not attack at will? They have always listened to me and should not have been so reckless; why exactly did they die? Did something major happen?"

The crowd knelt on the ground, shivering, and then one person said weakly: "Tribal Chief, they do not seem to have been killed by the people of Huaxia, and they indeed did not take the initiative to attack."

Baoxi felt that things were getting more and more chaotic: "What exactly is going on? Explain it to me clearly all at once."

The crowd pushed and shoved, and finally pushed out a bolder one with better eloquence, and then he explained everything he saw clearly to Baoxi.

After listening, Baoxi only felt it was too absurd and unbelievable; not only were Lanzai and Gongxia dead, but the Soldiers around them were also all killed; the most important thing was that the number of corpses on the ground did not match up, which shows that some people did not die and know the whole truth of the matter.

Baoxi also thought of the worst result, which is that there were deserters within their ranks, and the deserters, in order to survive, even killed their leaders together.

Baoxi always felt that he had to see it for himself, but just as he walked to the shed, he was shocked by the tragic sight around him; it was indeed exactly as those Soldiers had said.

Afterwards, Baoxi picked up a wooden stick and began to poke at the corpses; the Soldiers on the side saw this and immediately began to drag the surrounding corpses, leaving only the tragic corpses of Gongxia and Lanzai; Baoxi looked at the two unrecognizable corpses and only felt that this matter was too outrageous, and, with this happening at the juncture when the war was about to begin, anyone would be extremely angry.

Baoxi asked the surrounding Soldiers again: "Are you sure the people of Huaxia really did not come? Even for a sneak attack?"

Everyone shook their heads, because they were far away and really did not notice this; they only knew that they needed to build rafts themselves, and as for other things, even if they wanted to go and see, the two leaders would not let them join in.

But after a short while, a Soldier said slowly: "Tribal Chief, the people of Huaxia might have really come to attack, but this place is too far from me, and I am not clear about the specific details, but I heard the Soldiers here say that Huaxia killed people to provoke us, and then killed many people before retreating; whether they were pursued or did anything else, I really do not know."

After listening, Baoxi's face turned even darker; this means that not only did his Suiren Clan lose two important Soldiers before the war, but now their plan to attack Huaxia has somehow been discovered by Huaxia.

The surprise attack method he was good at can no longer be used, and he can only change his tactics.

However, he finally kicked the corpse at his feet and said: "Since everyone is dead, then why not throw the corpses away? Are you waiting for them to stink?"
