44: Chapter 44 The Completion of the Village-Level Alliance

"Roar! Eat them all!" Wolf Chief looked ferocious, his eyes glowing with bloodlust as he shouted loudly.

Behind him, a surging crowd of the wolf clan instantly poured into the narrow little valley, and the creatures that had fallen in battle on the ground were quickly torn apart and devoured by the swarming wolf-men, leaving a bloody mess.

The delicious food caused several strong wolf-men to fight and brawl over it; Yan Shi took his younger sister and tried his best to avoid the center, searching for anything that could fill their stomachs.

A group of rabbit-men hiding in this small valley, numbering only about thirty, were now facing a catastrophe.

With just one charge, the dozen or so defending rabbit-men warriors were swarmed and swallowed by the hundreds of wolf-men, and even the motley crew Yan Shi was in suffered no casualties.

It was with great difficulty that Yan Shi found a few strips of dried meat and a large handful of dried mushrooms inside a dirty, torn animal skin, which managed to secure their dinner for the day.

"Here, Ye, eat this piece." Yan Shi wiped the largest piece of dirty dried meat and handed it to the younger sister beside him.

Yan Shi's younger sister had a pretty name, but in the wolf clan, it was a cowardly name. Tree leaves were so fragile; how could they represent a great warrior?

But in Yan Shi's heart, Ye was his hope. Just like precious leaves, he believed that the future of this world would surely be vibrant with life; this was his mother's expectation.

Ye squinted her eyes happily, revealing her sharp little fangs. She didn't stand on ceremony, picked up the dried meat, and brought it to her mouth.

"Put it down, you mongrel!" A huge figure roared and lunged over, sharp teeth flashing with a cold light.

"Bang!" Yan Shi lunged suddenly, knocking his younger sister away and dodging the vicious attack.

He turned and crouched slightly, the fur on his tail bristling, his front claws gripping the ground, his wolf snout slightly curled to reveal sharp canines, his eyes locked onto this annoying guy—it was him again!

"Stupid brat, that damned sister of yours is just like your damned mother, a total waste of food. Hand over the food in your hand."

This tall guy was a half-breed; no one knew what the wolf-man was a descendant of, but he looked a bit like a pig and appeared quite stupid.

His greedy little eyes kept scanning the food that had fallen on the ground, and yellow drool couldn't help but drip down.

"Grrr!" Yan Shi shielded Ye behind him like a mother hen protecting her chicks, scanned the wolf-men gradually circling around, and his gaze turned sharp.

"Tree, you are courting death!"

Tree made up his mind to crush this damned guy to death and charged forward like a tank. "Go to hell!"

Tree's whole body was covered in hard, thick skin, and he wasn't afraid of this little wolf cub, assuming he couldn't do anything to him, but he didn't expect a rock to come flying at his face.

The hard rock slammed into his nose, and the stinging pain was indescribable. Tree collapsed like a mountain of flesh in front of Yan Shi, letting out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

Wolf Chief, who had been silently observing, felt a flash of curiosity in his eyes and said indifferently: "That piece of trash is tonight's dinner. As for that kid, let him lead a squad of runts."

Several burly wolves rode over, grabbed Tree, and dragged him out.

Seeing Tree struggling violently, one claw shredded Tree's throat, and they threw his massive body next to a pile of rabbit-men corpses.

"Eat!"

Unlike the bloody scene of the wolf-men, Zhao Feng and the Shaman were leisurely savoring food that wasn't exactly delicious, while chatting excitedly.

"Chief, although Farmers are joining every day, the population still isn't going up, and we are short on people for many things in our tribe."

"Hmm!" Zhao Feng nodded, signaling the Shaman to continue.

"Just now, those chiefs were envious of Great Qin's prosperity and hoped we would build houses for them!"

"I was thinking, we've always been short on manpower for logging and future stone mining; we could have them provide the manpower to help us work, and we would only have to pay with some houses."

"This is free population! This way, we can also let the Blacksmith Shop have more hands to produce more things."

The Shaman chattered on and on, his white beard trembling with excitement.

Zhao Feng straightened up and nodded, saying: "Not bad, these people must be utilized. But look, we can do it like this..."

In the great hall at the center of the tribe, a large group of people sat in unison, all of them looking serious and listening intently to the speech of the man on the stage.

Of course, they were mainly listening to the thin little Kelo People female beside him, as they couldn't understand the male's language.

"Around my Great Qin Tribe, Planters will go to plant trees; this is Great Qin's support for all the tribes."

"Everyone can find suitable places to live around my tribe. As for food, you can trade using stone and wood."

Zhao Feng waited for Xiao Luo to finish translating, then continued:

"As for the house issue, this involves some of our tribe's secrets, and the construction cost is relatively high. You only need to provide us with timber, stone, and various minerals; as for the exchange ratio, we will discuss it in detail later."

He surveyed the chiefs sitting there, and all the chiefs below revealed looks of joy.

"What is most important these days? Isn't it food?"

One chief said hesitantly:

"Respected Great Qin Chief, the Great Qin Tribe is behind high walls and doesn't need to worry about the dangers around."

"But our tribes have suffered heavy losses and have no weapons. Once Corpse Beasts or barbarian tribes attack, we won't be able to protect ourselves!"

"That's right!"

"Yes! Chief Rabbit is right."

"Exactly! Please, Clan Chief, think of a way for everyone."

A group of Clan Chiefs discussed among themselves, all looking pleading.

This was still a wild, primitive era with a low level of civilization, so there wasn't much scheming; even if these Clan Chiefs were sold out, they would still happily help count the money for the person who sold them.

Zhao Feng was happy to see the reaction of the Clan Chiefs.

"Everyone, don't worry. Just stay in the tribe with peace of mind these days. Once we have enough Materials later, Great Qin will help everyone rebuild their tribes."

"Great! Thank you, Clan Chief. The Clan Chief is truly a good person!"

"A good person, Clan Chief!"

Well, he got a "nice guy" card.

However, speaking from the heart, in the minds of these Clan Chiefs, Zhao Feng and Great Qin were indeed the kindest neighbors.

Zhao Feng waited for the excited Clan Chiefs to quiet down before raising a large piece of animal skin and saying:

"Dear Clan Chiefs, to commemorate this historic moment, we will formally sign an Alliance under the witness of Heaven and Earth."

The huge animal skin was laid out on a crude wooden table, and Zhao Feng and the Clan Chiefs gathered around.

At first, everyone was grinning, but seeing Zhao Feng's solemn face, the atmosphere slowly began to turn serious.

"Under the witness of Heaven and Earth, Great Qin, Grass, Yan Shi... and the twenty-eight tribes officially form a brotherhood Alliance. The Alliance will support each other and develop together. If this oath is broken, may Heaven and Earth forsake us!"

The tribal chiefs looked solemn; they didn't understand what language this was, but they just followed Zhao Feng and chanted together.

Although it was chaotic, the chiefs were shocked later because of the glittering golden characters that appeared on the animal skin, accompanying every sentence spoken.

"This is a tribe favored by the gods!"

A group of chiefs knelt down with a clatter, prostrating themselves; this was the greatest respect for the power of the gods.

In the age of ignorance, people were full of fear of the strange and unknown, attributing all irresistible and unknown great powers to the authority of the gods.

Ever since they witnessed the magical power last night, everyone had their guesses, and this mysterious golden light truly subdued them.

"Ding! Because of your great charm, twenty-seven tribes have officially come under your rule. You have obtained the building — Market in advance."

A delighted Zhao Feng opened the notification message; this was a message from the sub-System age of empires.

"Market: A special building of the Feudal Age, used for trading resources. It has the function of providing currency and transporting supplies. The market provides trade caravans."

Currency, that's a good thing.

Originally, the Stone Age was still far from currency, and even in the Bronze Age, it was still barter.

With the appearance of currency, the circulation of resources would be much faster, and the tribe's prosperity would soar. Build! Must build!

The atmosphere at the evening bonfire party was incredible. The Great Qin Tribe might not have had other good things, but they certainly weren't lacking in food. It was lively for a long time, and both host and guests were happy.

"It's a pity there's no wine!" Zhao Feng bit into a large mouthful of roasted meat and thought with narrowed eyes. Slowly, everything would come, and everything would get better.

The people of Great Qin were eating roasted meat and fruit on the side, while a large group of tribal Clan Chiefs were surrounding Xiao Luo, taking out all sorts of strange things.

"My Lord, look, this is my ancestral Vicious Beast tooth. Can you teach me the divine language?"

Looking at the smooth, white, tooth-shaped bone object in front of her, Xiao Luo looked confused, "What divine language?"

Several Clan Chiefs nearby looked ashamed.

"Our little schemes, our horizons are too narrow. We only cared about houses; being able to speak is what's important. Once we can communicate, won't everything be easy to discuss?"

"That's right, that's right!" A group of guys who suddenly realized this took out all sorts of treasures to bribe her.

"Eat! Eat!" Looking at the group of little green dots on the mini-map in his mind, Zhao Feng laughed out loud. They were all allies now, building a harmonious Planet of the Dead together; it seemed this was a path to the peaceful unification of the Planet of the Dead.
