Chapter 16: The Wealthy Barbarian Tribe

The cavalry of the Night Tribe was like a steel torrent, advancing slowly but steadily, and the barbarian warriors continued to fall.

The gap in equipment was fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

As the night battle broke through the barbarian front line, the morale of the entire barbarian tribe's warriors dropped to the extreme point.

Turning his horse around, Ye Zhan looked at them coldly, as if he was planning to charge again if they didn't surrender.

Hudson, who had luckily survived the confrontation just now, first glanced at the corpses on the ground, and then looked at the terrified barbarian warriors around him.

"We surrender!"

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to admit defeat.

In this land, the so-called dignity and glory are all false, and only their lives are the most important things. Therefore, when they know they will die, most people will choose to surrender.

The law of the jungle is the rule of this land. Surrender is neither uncommon nor shameful here.

Hearing this, Ye Zhan couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly sent people to disarm them.

In the last round of fighting, only about 3,000 people died on both sides combined. The loss was not actually that great, but the barbarians' morale had been crushed.

So after choosing to surrender, there was no futile struggle.

At the same time, Su Xingyu, who was far away in the Black Soil Stronghold, also learned about it and personally led 20,000 warriors there, ready to take over the barbarian tribe directly.

Although the barbarians were defeated, their losses were not great, and there were still hundreds of thousands of people waiting to be dealt with.

He's fine for night battles, but forget it if you expect him to handle these things. He's not cut out for it, so Su Xingyu has to do it himself.

And with hundreds of thousands of people, it would take a miracle to win their hearts.

In order to deal with the barbarian tribe, Su Xingyu sent out almost all the warriors of the Night Tribe, and the Night Tribe’s defense is now at its lowest level ever.

However, the surrounding forces have already been annexed by him, so leaving tens of thousands of people to guard the house is enough. Moreover, with the mobility of the cavalry, even if an accident really happens, it will not take much time to rush back.

It took nearly two days for Su Xingyu to lead his army to the first stronghold of the barbarian tribe.

In order to prevent accidents, Ye Zhan did not gather the barbarians from the two strongholds together, but guarded them separately and screened out the barbarian leaders.

When Su Xingyu arrived, Ye Zhan was already waiting outside the door.

The walls used by the barbarian tribe are made of wood, so expansion is not difficult. The tribe covers a large area, comparable to the four giant tiger tribes.

"Chief, I won." Su Xingyu dismounted and Ye Zhan immediately came forward, saying proudly.

"Well done."

Su Xingyu smiled, not sparing his praise, and then asked:

"Where are those barbarians now?"

"There were too many of them, and I was afraid something might happen, so I separated them and locked them up."

Ye Zhan smiled and explained, "But please rest assured, Chief, I have people send food to them every day, so they won't starve to death."

"Take me to see them." Su Xingyu chuckled. There were more than 100,000 people in this barbarian stronghold. After defeating them in a night battle, they were divided into three groups and locked up.

After removing their equipment, even if our number is far less than the enemy, we have no fear of them causing unrest in a night battle.

Moreover, after losing the command of their leader, these simple-minded barbarian warriors did not have so many thoughts and stayed obediently in the prisoner-of-war camps, waiting for the victorious side to deal with them.

Although Su Xingyu had plans to annex the barbarian tribe, he was not prepared to move all the barbarians here back to the Ye tribe.

Firstly, the population is too large, hundreds of thousands of people. If we move them all back, just finding accommodation will be a huge problem.

Secondly, even if he really moved people back, he would have to transfer other people here at that time. After all, the mines and plantations here need someone to take care of them.

Relocating frequently is not only costly but also very troublesome.

So before coming, Su Xingyu had made arrangements for the Barbarian Tribe. He planned to take those leaders back for transformation, and then incorporate the outstanding warriors into the army of the Night Tribe, and then move some of the Night Tribe members to the Barbarian Tribe.

It's just a barbarian tribe. It should take a year or two to assimilate it.

Su Xingyu felt that it was a very good deal to absorb a barbarian tribe of hundreds of thousands of people in one year.

So that night, Su Xingyu repeated the same trick he used a month ago and showed this group of barbarian natives what the power of the gods is.

If it is displayed during a battle, perhaps the barbarian warriors will be able to feel the power of the gods even more.

But Su Xingyu felt that the effect would be better if he showed it after defeating them.

Gods should remain mysterious and not participate in every little war, otherwise their quality would be lowered.

After intimidating the barbarian warriors, Su Xingyu timely proposed various benefits for the Ye tribe, and used the history of the Ye tribe's rise to make them realize that the Ye tribe was different from the previous tribes.

With a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, Su Xingyu controlled them tightly. Before long, a large number of barbarian warriors surrendered to the Ye tribe.

As for how to treat those leaders, Su Xingyu also took the trouble to look through the panel data of each person, and then kept those with high loyalty to continue managing the barbarian tribe. For those with low loyalty, Su Xingyu planned to let them develop the blood-red forest.

The Blood Red Stronghold had just been established and was in short supply of labor.

Su Xingyu stayed in the barbarian tribe for five days before he planned the destinations of all the personnel.

The losses and gains from the attack on the barbarian tribe were also counted.

There is nothing much to say about the losses. It is normal to have casualties in war. This time, the Ye tribe had the advantage of time, place and people, but they also lost thousands of soldiers. The barbarians were not weak either, with more than 5,000 soldiers lost.

The harvest was very rich. First of all, in terms of population, there were 330,000 people in the Barbarian Tribe alone, not to mention other affiliated tribes. After absorbing them all, the total population of the Night Tribe would exceed one million.

In addition to the population, there are also resources. The barbarian tribe controls a blood spirit flower plantation and two blood crystal veins, both of which are medium-sized veins. There are also two small fine iron veins. It can be said that they are extremely rich.

Of course, these are all resource lands, and there are quite a few existing resources, such as 300,000 units of blood crystals and 20,000 blood spirit flowers. These are the materials that the barbarian tribes are going to trade with passing merchants after the spring, but now they are all sold to the Night Tribe.

With these resources, the strength of the Night Tribe will surely reach a new level.

After dealing with the affairs of the barbarian tribe, Su Xingyu could not leave for the time being, but Ye Zhan had to go back to take charge.

But before going back, there was one more thing he needed to do.

　I have used this mobile phone number for so many years, but the real name on it is not mine. I am fed up.
