I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 275 - 122: Take Action!

Day Two.

Three Fire Tribe Hall.

Huo Ning convened the Celestial Vein Martial Artists within the tribe, a dense mass numbering over five hundred.

Among them, one-third of the Celestial Veins came from the Blazing Flame Tribe.

"In addition to the Black Armored Heavy Blade Soldiers and Blood Sea Guard, establish a standing army, increasing the number of Clan Soldiers to fifty thousand, with four major camps set up in the east, south, west, and north outside the city."

"The positions of Thousand Captains will be determined by ability."

"Additionally, establish a Reward and Punishment Department to supervise both inside and outside the tribe, rewarding merit and punishing offenses, executing deserters."

"Also, send a decree to all directions, declaring that our Three Fire Tribe accepts clanspeople from all around."

...

"Still recruiting people!"

"Aren’t you afraid Xiaoyang might attack if there are too many?"

"Afraid of what, we have the Sacrificial Spirit protecting us."

"There is more than one Sacrificial Spirit that led to Xiaoyang’s downfall."

Inside the Clan Hall, whispers arose, and Huo Ning’s gaze swept across the surroundings.

"Clan Leader, I think this is a bit risky and might attract Xiaoyang."

A sturdy figure stood up, surrounded by seven or eight others, clearly close-knit.

"Exactly, the Clan Leader should be cautious."

"What, if we don’t move now, Xiaoyang won’t come?"

Someone immediately retorted, the speaker was Huo Yan, who had already arrived from the Northern Lands.

"Cowards."

"If you’re cowardly, get lost, continue running south, hide in the Luo Region, there’s no Xiaoyang there."

"Life is fought for, not begged from Xiaoyang."

"Exactly, when your original tribe was destroyed, wasn’t it without provoking Xiaoyang?"

"Silence!"

Huo Ning spoke coldly, with more people it always ends up like this, not as controllable as before.

"Zhang Huang, Yunjian, Huayang, Qianshan Yan, Luoo Ying, Cangyan... do you have any objections?"

The scarred Martial Artist was Zhang Huang, who joined the Three Fire Tribe with several thousand people.

The others were also like Zhang Huang, joining the Three Fire Tribe with varying numbers of followers.

With these words, the Clan Hall fell silent, with many flickering eyes.

"Clan Leader, we are also thinking for the tribe’s good, if Xiaoyang really attacks, even the Clan Leader couldn’t explain to the main division."

Zhang Huang spoke, "Maybe we should slow down."

Huo Ning didn’t bother speaking further, gently clapping his hands.

A booming sound ensued, immediately alerting everyone in the hall, as the sound of giant crossbows being drawn came from all around the Clan Hall.

Simultaneously, on the walls of the Clan City, figures in black and red armor stood atop.

Every ten zhang on the walls stood a giant crossbow, and the watchtowers within the city also revealed the sharpness of large arrows.

...

Upon hearing the commotion, many faces changed dramatically.

"Clan Leader, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhang Huang appeared hesitant, but was answered by a crimson blade arc.

Huo Chang, as an Elder of the Three Fire Race, naturally participated in the tribal council, slashing out to unleash a roaring crimson Fire Ape.

He instantly split Zhang Huang in two.

"Kill!"

Huo Ning also took action, the grand hall shattered with a roar as giant arrows shot forth, piercing through numerous figures.

Every last one of them, their armor devoid of a single patch of red velvet on their collar.

From the Clan Hall to the Clan City, the tumult lasted for a day, with the twangs of the giant crossbows echoing through the air, amid shouts of killing and burning bonfires creating chaos.

Until nightfall, a heap of skeletons was dragged to the square in the center of the Clan City, piling into a small mountain.

Amidst the flickering bonfire, Huo Ning stood in a high place.

"Effective immediately, gather soldiers, recruit people!"

"Anyone with ulterior motives, shall meet the same fate as this mountain!"

Under the night’s shroud, the stench of blood permeated, flooding into the noses of tribespeople gathering from all directions.

Since the sacrifice a few months ago, the Three Fire Tribe had been inactive, but the next day began extensive construction.

Four major camps were established in the southeast, southwest, and northwest of the Clan City, as squads of Clan Soldiers roared out, heading to all directions across the wilderness.

All scattered clanspeople were incorporated into the tribe.

Anyone who showed hesitation towards Xiaoyang was executed, and their kin were expelled from the tribe.

The Three Fire Tribe, dormant for several months, suddenly began striking out, devouring remnants and hunting Xiaoyang.

This news shocked the various divisions in Ji Land.

In less than half a year, the Three Fire Tribe’s population swelled to a massive two million, the Clan City doubled in size, and the number of Clan Soldiers reached one hundred thousand.

Throughout the northern part of Ji Land, none were unaware of the Three Fire Tribe.

Even during Yanran Division’s rise, they weren’t this formidable.

This was in the fallen lands occupied by Xiaoyang, blatantly absorbing remnants, clearly provoking Xiaoyang to attack!

No matter how the various divisions in Ji Land reacted, the soldiers of the Three Fire Tribe continued to expand outward, launching a counterattack against the Xiaoyang Tribe.

"Report, fifteen days ago, Huo Yan Centurion broke through Xiaoyang’s Qiu Mountain Division, slaying eight thousand Xiaoyang."

"Huo Qingg Centurion broke through four Xiaoyang Divisions at the Panshui Riverfront, with fifty thousand Xiaoyang corpses, the remaining divisions retreated to the Yang Mountain Ruins Market."

"Huo Yaan Centurion captured three thousand Xiaoyang, currently being escorted back to the tribe."

...

The Cyan Simurgh Soldiers delivering reports would soar into the sky upon each dispatch, disappearing into the horizon.

Whether it was the Cyan Simurgh Soldiers or the names of the Blazing Flame Clan people revealed in the battle reports, it could be said that the Three Fire Tribe barely bothered to conceal some things.

Boldly proclaiming to everyone that they had someone behind them.

Who is it?

Guess for yourselves.

Xiaoyang occupied ten thousand miles in the Northern Lands, relying on the four Ruins Markets of Jinyang Mountain, Heyang, Yang Mountain, and Yin Yue Mountain, dividing the areas for defense and migrating clans for propagation.

The Three Fire Tribe fell within the Yang Mountain Ruins Market’s defense area.

In this region, Xiaoyang had relocated hundreds of tribes of varying sizes from their Clan Land.

Large tribes had populations of two to three hundred thousand, while smaller tribes had several thousand.
