They won't starve to death.
Take me to see them.
Sushingu chuckled lightly.
This barbarian stronghold housed over a 100,000 people.
After defeating them, night battle had divided them into three groups for confinement.
Even though their own numbers were far fewer than the enemies after disarming them.
Night Battle was not afraid of any unrest.
Moreover, after losing their leader command, these simple-minded barbarian warriors did not have much thought and stayed obediently in the prisoner camp, waiting for the victors to decide their fate.
Regarding the barbarian tribe, although Sushingu planned to annex them, he did not intend to relocate all the barbarians back to the night tribe.
Firstly, there were too many people, hundreds of thousands.
Relocating them all would pose a significant challenge just for housing.
Secondly, even if he did manage to relocate them, he would need to transfer others back as the mineral veins and farmland here required management.
The back and forth movement would be costly and troublesome.
Therefore, before coming, Sushingu had already made arrangements regarding the barbarian tribe.
He planned to bring back the leaders for reform and then incorporate the excellent warriors into the night tribes army while relocating some members of the night tribe to the barbarian tribe.
With a mere barbarian tribe, it should take about a year and a half to assimilate them.
Sushingu felt that absorbing a barbarian tribe of hundreds of thousands within a year was a very good deal.
That evening, Sushiu replicated the methods used a month ago, showcasing to these barbarian natives what divine power truly meant.
If demonstrated during battle, it might make the barbarian warriors feel the strength of the divine more deeply.
However, Sushing Yu believed that showing it after defeating them would yield better results.
The divine should maintain an air of mystery and not participate in every small skirmish, or else the prestige would diminish.
After intimidating the barbarian warriors, Sushing Yu timely presented various benefits of the Knight tribe, recounting the history of its rise, making them realize that the Knight tribe was different from the previous tribes.
With a stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other, Sushingu managed them firmly, and soon a large number of barbarian warriors pledged allegiance to the Knight tribe.
As for the leaders, Sushinu diligently reviewed each person's panel data, keeping those with high loyalty to continue managing the barbarian tribe, while those with low loyalty were planned to be sent to develop the blood red forest.
The blood red stronghold had been established not long ago and was in need of labor.
Sushingu stayed in the barbarian tribe for 5 days to finalize the placement of all personnel.
The losses and gains from this attack on the barbarian tribe were also tallied.
The losses were nothing to be concerned about.
Casualties are a normal part of war.
This time the night tribe had the advantage of timing, location, and manpower, but still lost over a thousand soldiers, while the barbarians lost more than 5,000.
The gains, however, were abundant.
Firstly, in terms of population, the barbarian tribe alone had 330,000 people, not to mention the other affiliated tribes.
Once they were completely absorbed, the total population of the Knight tribe could exceed 1 million.
Besides population, there were also resources.
The barbarian tribe controlled a patch of blood spirit flower cultivation land and two medium-sized blood crystal mines along with two small iron or mines, making it extremely wealthy.
Of course, these were just the resources.
The existing resources were also considerable, such as 300,000 units of blood crystal and 20,000 blood spirit flowers, which the barbarian tribe had prepared to trade with past merchants after spring.
But now they were all in the hands of the night tribe.
With these resources, the strength of a night tribe would surely rise to a new level.
After handling the affairs of the barbarian tribe, Su Shing Yu could not leave just yet.
But Night Battle had to return to oversee matters.
However, before returning, there was one more thing he needed to do.
Chapter 17.
Subduing the half-metal giants.
About a 100 km east of the barbarian tribe, there lies a powerful monster tribe known as the half-metal giants.
The half-metal giants are a very unique species that feed on or oars and possess the strength of extraordinary warriors from birth, making them a true extraordinary species.
This group of half- metal giants occupies the richest iron or veins in the black earth plane and due to their fierce combat abilities.
Even the barbarian tribe and the wolfman tribe are unwilling to provoke them.
However, everything has its pros and cons.
While the half metal giants are strong in battle, they reproduce with great difficulty.
Even without the interference of war and with no shortage of food, their population has remained small, around 10,000.
Yet, this tribe of approximately 10,000 half- metal giants has become one of the three dominant powers in the Black Earth plane, demonstrating their formidable combat strength.
Their defensive capabilities are astonishing.
Ordinary blades cannot even break their skin.
The barbarian tribe was once envious of the iron or veins beneath the half- metal giants and sent 50,000 troops to attack, only to return in defeat, never to come back since.
At noon, Yan led a cavalry force of nearly 70,000 directly toward the valley where the half- metal giants resided without any intention of concealing their movements.
Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped across the grassland, crashing in like a tsunami, creating a stunning spectacle.
The half-metal giants resting in the valley reacted slowly.
By the time Ejan arrived at the valley's edge, they leisurely walked out of their tribe.
They were tall and robust, their bodies gleaming with a metallic sheen, standing there like iron lumps.
Humans, what are you doing here? Have you forgotten the lesson from last time? The leading half-metal giant towering at 5 m with a dark red body looked like a giant robot and held a metal rod in his hand.
Even with Yan's numbers being several times greater, the metal giant leader remained unfazed, even somewhat contemptuous, not taking Yan and his men seriously.
Simply put, you are too weak.
We come from the night tribe.
As for the people you mentioned, they must be from the barbarian tribe, which we have already annexed.
Yan rode forward a few steps and explained in a hearty voice.
Barbarian knight tribe.
The metal giant leader paused, seemingly contemplating the difference between the two, but soon shook his head and grumbled.
I don't care whether you are from the barbarian tribe or the night tribe.
Tell me, what is your purpose here? If it's to fight, then come on.
Agu is not afraid of battle.
Roar! Roar! Roar! The half- metal giants behind him clenched their left fists, thumping their chests and roaring at the sky.
"Clang!" The warriors from the night tribe immediately became tense, gripping their weapons tightly, looking to their general for a command to charge in and fight.
Yan frowned slightly, signaling his subordinates to calm down, and slowly said, "I did not come here to fight.
I am here to negotiate on the orders of our chieftain.
" negotiate.
We have nothing to discuss with you since you're not here to fight.
Leave quickly.
You are not welcome here.
The metal giant leader, having lived for decades, mostly spent eating and sleeping, seemed a bit dim-witted.
However, despite his lack of intelligence, he adhered strictly to the advice left by his elders.
Do not trade with humans.
If possible, it's best not to speak at all.
Humans are very cunning, more cunning than any other race in the world.
to avoid being deceived.
Do not engage with them.
Yan s expression turned cold, feeling dissatisfied with a metal giant's attitude.
However, recalling the chieftains orders, he restrained himself and smiled coldly.
Don't be in a hurry.
If we can't negotiate, we can always fight.
While others feared the metal giants, Yan was not afraid.
After all, even if they were covered in armor, what of it? Was battle knife made of iron as well? The metal giant leader fell silent for a moment and said gloomily, "If you have something to say, say it quickly.
I have nothing here for you to steal.
You have nothing we desire.
" Yan glanced at the barren valley, first making a sarcastic remark, then spoke seriously.
"Our chieftain has taken an interest in you and wants to make a deal.
You join a night tribe, and we will provide you with enough metal ores, and you only need to pledge your loyalty.
How about it?" The metal giant narrowed his eyes, stunned for a while, somewhat uncertain.
What did you say? You want us to surrender and join you? That's one way to put it.
Yizan Modit, you, the enraged metal giant leader, immediately wanted to charge forward and tear this offending human apart.
