Chapter 471: Huaxia is Attacking

Chenshui was surrounded by a few Soldiers; he no longer had a shred of vitality left, his body went limp, and he slumped onto the ground. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Can you give me something to eat? I don't want to be starving when I die."

Regarding these words from Chenshui, the two Tribal Chiefs—no, they were now just two ordinary Soldiers of the newly formed large tribe called the Chenshui Tribe—acted as if they hadn't heard him and paid him no mind at all. They certainly didn't want to waste food on someone who was about to die.

The other hungry tribespeople had their minds set on eating and no one paid any attention to what was happening over there at all, until everyone had finished eating and noticed something was wrong.

The two former Tribal Chiefs said to their respective former tribespeople: "Everything about resisting Huaxia was a lie to you, and it was also a lie to Chenshui. Of course, it was mainly Chenshui who came to lie to us first. The Huaxia Soldiers definitely number over fifteen thousand, and every single one of them carries an Iron Weapon. What are we going to use to fight them? The wooden sticks in our hands?"

"It is impossible for us to win, so we are preparing to surrender. This way, we can at least save the lives of all the tribespeople. In the future, regardless of whether Huaxia treats you as ordinary tribespeople or as Slaves, at least you will be able to live, right? Besides, Huaxia is exceptionally wealthy and has a great deal of food; you will definitely not go hungry in the future."

"As for the two of us, the Tribal Chief will certainly die, but we have now merged our two tribes into one, and the Tribal Chief is Chenshui. When the people from Huaxia arrive, as long as you don't say anything and we don't say anything, the two of us will at least have some chance of surviving."

"During this time, we haven't treated everyone badly, have we? At least it's better than when we were at the Suiren Clan. So, for the sake of us trying to save you, as long as you don't talk nonsense to the people from Huaxia, it will be fine. If they ask who the Tribal Chief is, just say it's Chenshui, okay?"

Their posture and tone were slightly humble, but this was to save their lives; there was no issue of losing face. After they finished speaking, there was a brief silence below, mainly because the amount of information over these past two days was too overwhelming, leaving these tribespeople unable to react.

It was their trusted aides who first spoke up to agree, and then the other tribespeople said in a scattered manner that it was no problem. For the ordinary tribespeople, it was just a matter of not speaking themselves; what was difficult about that? They were even afraid of talking to the people from Huaxia.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Chenshui lay straight on the ground and began to wait for death. With his eyes closed, he didn't want to care about anything anymore. However, deep down, he was still thinking that in the end, he must expose these two people and drag them down to die together.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, the two of them also found some food and quickly ate a little. Now they were just waiting for Huaxia to arrive. Having not rested for nearly a day and a night, they were truly exhausted, so they no longer stood on ceremony, found a warm campfire, and lay down beside it to sleep.

They didn't wake up until it was dark, but they still hadn't seen any sign of Huaxia, so they continued to take out the stored food for everyone to eat. Looking at Chenshui's state, it definitely wasn't a lie that Huaxia was coming to attack, but if Huaxia didn't come for various reasons, they were very open-minded about it; anyway, things were already like this, so they would just have the whole group go over and defect to Huaxia when the time came—perhaps the treatment would be even better.

Chenshui hadn't eaten for too long and was now too hungry to sleep, but he kept his eyes closed and did not open them. His ears had already told him that Huaxia was definitely in the vicinity. Although he didn't hear the movements of humans, the sounds of the animals were not right.

Xiong and his men had traveled for a long time, but it was still a bit too late, and they hadn't been able to arrive at the predetermined location at the right time. Therefore, they could only camp and rest a little further away from the Third Tribe. However, he didn't plan to wait until the evening of the next day to attack; if they went at dawn when the sky was just turning bright, the effect would be the same, as long as they caught them off guard.

The two former Tribal Chiefs were still thinking about whether they should take some people to proactively find Huaxia early tomorrow morning. If they met on the road, they could just state their stance directly to avoid any other accidents. The two were in agreement, but they decided that only one of them should go, and one had to stay behind to watch Chenshui to prevent him from running away.

However, Huaxia did not give them this opportunity, because these Huaxia Soldiers had long since developed the good habit of waking up on time in the morning. Back in Huaxia, usually before the sun had fully risen, the chickens raised in the military camp for timekeeping would start crowing. Over the years, even without chickens, they could still wake up on time.

But people from other tribes did not have this ability, because they would only wake up when the sun had completely risen; after all, without light, they couldn't do anything and could only sleep.

Under Xiong's command, they successfully surrounded the Third Tribe. But during the process of surrounding them, they discovered something wrong. Although the people of the entire tribe were still sleeping, in the chaotic tribe, the number of people didn't match up, and the state of the entire tribe was not normal. The number was much higher than the intelligence they had received, and there was also a very obvious living situation where it was divided into two parts in the middle, with one part looking as if it had just been set up.

Xiong deduced that perhaps their news had been exposed. It should have been the people who escaped from the First Tribe or the Second Tribe who told the remaining two tribes the news of their arrival, causing them to unite. And the one with the ability to do this was likely that missing Tribal Chief of the First Tribe.

But this was not a big problem for them. Now their number of Soldiers still far exceeded this united tribe, and with the advantage of Weapons and the advantage of preparation, attacking and taking them down was not a problem, though this time the difficulty would be a little greater and it wouldn't be as easy.

Chenshui, who had been woken up by hunger again in the middle of the night, still hadn't fallen asleep. By now, he could fully confirm that Huaxia was completely prepared and could launch an attack at any time.

But he didn't want to give himself up so easily; he had to do something at least. So, his eyes rolled, and he used all his remaining strength to shout loudly: "Huaxia is attacking! Huaxia is attacking! Run quickly!"

The Soldier guarding him was still bleary-eyed, but after being roared at like that, he instantly sobered up, and the Weapon he was holding almost stabbed Chenshui.

The two former Tribal Chiefs, who had been startled awake, ran out of the Tent after a moment of confusion. They knew that if they were any later, something might go wrong.

Other tribespeople nearby were also startled awake by the sound. Those who were sleeping deeply didn't move yet, but they were slapped awake by the people beside them who had been woken up.

When Xiong heard that someone had actually discovered them, he immediately concluded that it was definitely the Tribal Chief of the First Tribe shouting, because it was the same way the first time. So, he did not hesitate any longer and immediately ordered everyone to attack.
