"Leader Shanjia, your willingness to come over to help fight this time is enough to prove the deep friendship between the Vine Tribe and the Shanjia Tribe, so I would like to give you a suggestion."
"What advice?"
"I believe you have also seen that the planting and breeding of the Vine Tribe has developed very quickly. Now, even if we don't go hunting, we can still ensure a sufficient supply of food every day."
When the mountain armor heard Jiang Xuan's words, he was immediately surprised. He could get enough food without hunting. This temptation was extremely huge for any tribe.
Because the harvest of hunting is not stable and depends on strength, luck, and weather.
Not only that, during hunting, it is common for soldiers to suffer casualties. Every year, many outstanding soldiers are lost in hunting operations.
If enough food can be obtained without hunting, the tribe's population will not be consumed so quickly, and the tribe will naturally grow faster.
Shanjia's eyes shone, and he grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand excitedly: "Chief Xuan, we want to learn planting and breeding!"
"Don't get excited." Jiang Xuan pulled his hand back with great effort. He was not as good as Long Yang, and it felt very awkward to be held by a rough man.
"Now that I've told you this, I naturally plan to teach you some planting and breeding techniques. I just hope that when the Mountain Turtle Tribe grows stronger in the future, you won't forget the goodness of the Vine Tribe."
"Of course not. I swear to the Turtle God that the Mountain Turtle Tribe and the Vine Tribe will always be the best allies and will never betray them."
The tribesmen have great respect for the totem god and worship them fervently. They rarely break their oaths sworn to the totem god.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this, leader Shanjia, I believe you."
"Then... learn about planting and breeding..."
"No problem. You choose a few warriors with calm personalities to stay in the Vine Tribe for a period of time. I will let the planting and breeding teams teach them the techniques. As for how much they can learn, it's up to them."
Shanjia said excitedly: "Okay, I'll choose someone right now!"
The mountain beetle went to pick people up in a hurry.
In fact, as a former large tribe, the Shangui Tribe also mastered some planting and breeding techniques.
However, the technology they once mastered was very backward and the yield was extremely low. It was far behind the technology of the Vine Tribe.
Shanjia selected twenty people, called them together, and said with a serious face: "You stay in the Vine Tribe to learn planting and breeding techniques. This is related to whether our Shanjia Tribe can return to the central part of the Southern Wilderness in the future. We must take good care of it."
Learn, do you understand?"
"Know!"
"Okay, stay in the Vine Tribe, do more work, don't be lazy, and don't let others look down on our Mountain Turtle Tribe. If I know someone is lazy, you see how I will deal with him!"
After finishing speaking, Shanjia brought the people to Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Xuan arranged the people to the planting team and the breeding team.
Afterwards, the Mountain Turtle Tribe set out on its way back. For a while, Shanjia kept looking back at the Vine Tribe, holding great hopes for those tribesmen left behind.
This expectation is not for himself, but for the entire Mountain Turtle Tribe!
…
After Jiang Xuan saw off the Shangui tribe, he returned to his yard.
He stood by the pool and whispered: "The external tribal issues have been resolved, it's time to resolve the internal issues."
After saying this, his face turned cold, and his whole body exuded a terrible chill.
During the tribal war, some people from the Teng tribe took advantage of the chaos and escaped, not caring about the tribe's life or death at all.
This is escaping from battle, this is betrayal of the entire tribe, the nature is extremely bad, and you should be punished!
If Jiang Xuan ignores these people and doesn't make them pay the price, then every time the tribe is in crisis in the future, more people will choose to abandon the tribe.
Jiang Xuan will never allow this to happen!
Jiang Xuan waited by the pool for a while, and Feng Cao came in.
"Chief, we found out that those who defected have not gone far. Some people even shamelessly wanted to come back when they saw that the tribe was fine."
Jiang Xuan sneered: "Come back? They really should come back, otherwise how can they apologize to the entire tribe?"
"Feng Cao, I asked Uncaria and Stone Loach to cooperate with you. There is only one request, and all the defectors will be captured!"
"I want everyone to understand that those who run away from battle will die, and those who betray the tribe will die!"
"yes!"
Feng Cao straightened his back and turned around to contact Uncaria and Stone Loach.
Soon after, the first and second hunting teams were all dispatched to catch the defectors based on the information from the thorn vines.
The whole Vine Tribe suddenly started jumping up and down.
At the north gate of Vine Tribe, a man and a woman were making a fuss.
"We are members of the Vine Tribe, why are we not allowed in?"
"That's right, why did you stop us?"
The men and women tried their best to squeeze in the door, but were stopped by the guards and unable to enter.
One of the guardsmen said: "This is the leader's order. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Teng tribe these days!"
The woman shouted: "Then you let us go to see the leader, we want to see the leader!"
Just when the guardsmen were taking the trouble, Uncaria appeared with a hunting group of soldiers.
Uncaria walked to the door and said coldly: "Let them in!"
The guard soldier looked back at Uncaria and said in embarrassment: "But the leader said that no one is allowed to enter or exit these days..."
Goudo said: "I just came back from the leader, and it was also the leader's order to let them in."
"this……"
The guard soldier hesitated because he knew very well that Uncaria had a high status in the Teng tribe and his relationship with the leader was not ordinary.
At this moment, Nanxing also appeared.
"Listen to the leader of Uncaria and let them come out."
"yes!"
After the leader said this, the guardsmen had nothing to fear, and they all moved out of the way.
The man and woman were immediately proud. They knew that Shen Teng had recovered and that the Teng tribe had defeated the Wild Boar tribe. After returning, they could continue to enjoy the good life in the Teng tribe.
They glared at the guard soldiers for a few times, and then walked into the gate triumphantly.
However, when they passed through the doorway of the vine wall and entered the tribe, they saw a wave of Uncaria's hand, and a dozen warriors from the hunting group immediately rushed towards them.
"What? What do you want to do?"
The woman stepped back and asked sharp questions, but it was of no use. Several soldiers swarmed her and pushed her to the ground.
The man's face changed drastically. He realized that something was wrong, turned around and wanted to run away, but how could he escape?
The guardsmen had long disliked him, and when he came over, they raised their spears, and the man did not dare to charge any more, otherwise he would be stabbed to death.
The soldiers from the hunting team behind rushed over, roughly pushed the man to the ground, and then tied him with a rope.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
The woman was still questioning loudly, but her tone was already very panicked and hysterical.
Undou frowned and said, "It's too noisy, so gag their mouths and take them to the altar."
"yes!"
The soldiers of the hunting team randomly dug out two pieces of broken animal skins, stuffed the mouths of the man and woman, then separated two people and escorted them to the open space in front of the altar.
Uncaria led a hunting group of warriors out of the gate and into the forest.
At the gate, a guard soldier asked Nan Xing: "Leader, what are they going to do?"
Nan Xing sat aside, rubbing the oily bone whistle with the animal skin, and casually said: "Catch the traitor."
"What traitor are you catching?"
"On the day the Wild Boar Tribe attacked, all those who escaped were traitors to the Vine Tribe."
"What will happen if I get caught?"
"Of course he will be executed, otherwise why would he be escorted to the altar?"
"In other words, those two people just now threw themselves into a trap?"
"Yes, when an accident happened to the tribe, they ran away without hesitation. Now that the tribe is well, they want to come back. Where do they think our Vine tribe is?"
After listening to Nan Xing's words, the two guardsmen finally understood why they let those two idiots in. They were throwing themselves into a trap!
"Keep the door safe. If you encounter a situation like just now, let the person in first and then arrest him."
"yes!"
Nan Xing left the North Gate and went to inspect other places.
In the forest outside the Vine tribe, two hunting teams came out to capture the traitors one by one like prey.
With the cooperation of thorn vines, the capture efficiency is very high.
In just half a day, all the traitors staying near the Vine Tribe were captured.
Those who ran farther away, the hunting team did not give up and directly pursued them.
Jiang Xuan's order is not to let a traitor go, and they must resolutely implement it.
In fact, when the war first broke out, Jiang Xuan knew that someone would run away, and asked Thorny Vine to record these running people and track them one by one.
Therefore, when the war inside the Vine Tribe was in chaos, the Thorn Vine outside was not idle either. They had been keeping an eye on those defectors.
The thorn vine organization of the Vine Tribe is like an invisible spider web, covering places near the Vine Tribe and even farther away.
If any thread in this spider web is touched, it will be noticed by the Vine Tribe.
Therefore, the hunting team does not need to look for a needle in a haystack, but only needs to follow the clues provided by the thorn vines to catch people.
Five days later, the last defector was captured.
On the morning of the sixth day, the gates on all sides of the Teng tribe were closed, and all the tribesmen gathered in the open space in front of the altar.
In front of the altar, ninety-one defectors were tightly tied and kneeling in front of Shen Teng. Next to each defector was a soldier guarding them.
Further to the edge, several strong and tall warriors from the Law Enforcement Hall stood on both sides holding bronze heavy swords, showing power without anger.
When all the tribesmen arrived, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao walked to the front of the altar together, facing the defectors and all the Teng tribe members.
"Quiet!"
Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand to press down, and the people of the Vine Tribe who were discussing each other quickly became quiet.
"Some time ago, our Vine tribe went through a very difficult war. Many tribesmen were injured or died in that war, and even the vine wall was broken."
When it comes to that war, many people still have lingering fears. Those wild boar riders are too terrifying. Once a large-scale collision occurs, mounts such as elk deer and blue sheep cannot withstand it at all. Only the black wind rhinoceros can collide with those giant wild boars.
"But later, the Fujigami woke up, and we won the battle, wiped out the wild boar tribe, and turned those giant wild boars into food!"
Jiang Xuan's words made all the tribesmen feel excited after hearing them. There is nothing more exciting than turning the enemy's mount into food.
"But……"
Jiang Xuan changed the topic and pointed at the defectors kneeling on the ground, and his tone became a bit colder.
"While our tribe was fighting desperately, a small group of people betrayed the tribe and fled the battle!"
"Because they escaped from the battlefield, many places that should have been defended could not be defended, and many soldiers who did not deserve to die were killed by them!"
"They are a disgrace to the tribe, harmful insects, and unforgivable sinners!"
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the anger of all the Vine tribe members was ignited.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
…
More than two thousand tribesmen roared at the same time, which was deafening. The faces of the defectors on the ground turned extremely pale, their eyes showed extreme fear, and some of them were even so frightened that they became incontinent.
Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand to apply pressure again, and the roar slowly subsided.
"Master of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
"exist!"
Bai Zhu stood up, standing straight.
Jiang Xuan looked at Baizhu and said, "Tell them what crime they committed and what punishment they deserve!"
"yes!"
Bai Shu walked up to the defectors who were kneeling on the ground and said loudly and solemnly: "Prisoner Luwei, Wuxi..."
Bai Shu read out the names of the defectors one by one, without missing anyone.
"You have committed crimes such as betraying the tribe, escaping from battle, stealing tribe property, attacking tribesmen, etc. Your crimes are unforgivable. According to the laws of the Teng tribe, you should be beheaded in public!"
The last four words made all the defectors panic, and some were so frightened that they became incontinent.
Although I had known for a long time that I might not survive this time, I still couldn't accept the result.
Few people can take life and death lightly, let alone those who are already afraid of death.
After Bai Shu finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, and then returned to his seat.
Jiang Xuan looked at the defectors and said, "What is the last thing you want to say?"
The soldiers guarding the defectors immediately took out the stuff in their mouths so that they could speak.
"Chief, I really don't want to betray the tribe. Please spare me, I don't want to die..."
"Chief, I was wrong, really wrong. Please spare me this time. I will never escape again next time!"
…
When the defectors opened their mouths, most of them were crying and begging for mercy, and the scene was chaotic.
However, Jiang Xuan had no sympathy for them.
"If I spare you, those heroic souls who died on the battlefield will not spare me!"
"There is no regret medicine in this world. I can't forgive you, and my tribe can't forgive you either. You must bear the consequences for the sins you have committed!"
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he had the defectors gagged again because they were too noisy.
