Woo—
Woo— Woo—
The sharp and urgent sound of a horn pierced the morning's tranquility.
Like a sharp knife, it stabbed ruthlessly into the ears of everyone in the Black Rock Tribe.
This was the highest alert!
"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"
"Quick! Grab your weapons! Prepare for battle!"
The Female Warriors shouted, quickly assembling in the open space at the center of the Tribe.
Hearing the horn, the corners of Wu Liang's mouth curled up slightly.
Just in time.
The Tribe had just developed iron equipment; these blind fools coming to the door would serve perfectly as whetstones for these Female Warriors.
Inside the Tribe's camp.
The Female Warriors each held an iron spear or an iron axe.
The cold light glinted, and the atmosphere was solemn and murderous.
"Wu Liang!"
Wei Xian, holding twin battle-axes, walked over quickly.
Her pretty face was tense, and her beautiful eyes burned with a raging will to fight.
"Which blind Tribe dares to provoke our Black Rock!"
Murderous intent radiated from Wei Xian's face; whenever there was a battle, she was always the first to charge at the front.
However, she had only taken two steps before she was stopped by a powerful arm.
"Wei Xian, don't go this time."
Wu Liang stopped Wei Xian.
"What is your status now? You're carrying our child in your belly."
"As the mother of my first child, you still want to go and risk your life?"
Wei Xian was stunned, feeling the immense force coming from her wrist.
She argued:
"But I am the Tribe leader! Fighting is my duty!"
"Not anymore."
Wu Liang stared into Wei Xian's eyes.
"From now on, your duty is to take good care of the pregnancy and give birth to our child healthily."
"The Tribe's affairs are mine!"
His tone was overbearing and left no room for doubt.
Wei Xian's heart trembled.
She wanted to retort, but this man's gaze could always easily dismantle all her strength.
In the end, she could only bite her lip and give a reluctant 'mm'.
At that moment, Eliza walked out of the room, leaning against the wall.
Her walking posture was a bit awkward, and her legs were trembling slightly.
The Female Warriors who saw this scene all had strange looks in their eyes.
What happened to... the Great Priestess?
Eliza felt the surrounding gazes, and her cheeks burned.
She was both ashamed and angry, giving Wu Liang a fierce glare.
This bastard!
He didn't know how to show her any tenderness at all!
Wu Liang, however, acted as if he didn't see her gaze, only glancing at her indifferently.
"You too, stay put."
"In your current state, you'd fall over if the wind blew. Don't go up there and cause trouble."
Eliza gritted her silver teeth in anger but was powerless to argue.
Last night's frantic demands had indeed drained her completely.
Now, even walking was a struggle.
"Kayla!"
Wu Liang called out to the crowd.
"Here!"
The tall Female Warrior, Kayla, stepped out of the ranks holding a brand-new iron spear.
"What's the enemy's background? How many?"
Wu Liang asked.
"It's the Bloodfang Tribe! They're to the west, about two to three hundred people."
"They've likely already broken through our outer perimeter!"
Kayla answered quickly, her voice filled with excitement.
Bloodfang Tribe?
The name flashed through Wu Liang's mind.
He had learned from Wei Xian that this was another large Tribe in the vicinity, second only to the Black Rock Tribe in strength.
This was also the Tribe that had previously fought Wei Xian for ownership of Wu Liang.
Wu Liang guessed that the recent commotion of iron smelting in the Black Rock Tribe had attracted the other party's greed.
Plus, after having their person taken by Wei Xian's side last time, it seemed they intended to settle both old and new scores now.
"Two to three hundred people?"
Wu Liang smiled.
"Their weapons should all be stone and bone, right?"
"Yes!"
Kayla's tone was firm.
"Very well."
Wu Liang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the elite Female Warriors equipped with iron weapons.
"It's about quality, not quantity. Kayla, take fifty people and follow me!"
Wu Liang's voice echoed throughout the camp.
"The rest of you, guard the Tribe."
"Protect the leader, the Great Priestess, our houses, and our food!"
"Today, let the Bloodfang Tribe see what a generational gap looks like!"
"Yes!"
A group of elite Female Warriors roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
They raised their iron spears and axes high, their eyes flashing with fanatical light.
Over the past month, they had been forging and using these weapons every day.
They had long been eager for a real battle to test their power.
Wu Liang didn't take any weapons; he just flexed his wrists, feeling the power surging within him.
With a level of LV40, plus the skills Beast Blood Burning and the newly acquired Earths Grace.
Dealing with a group of primitive people holding stone tools was simply too easy.
"Let's go! Make sure they never return!"
Wu Liang turned abruptly and strode toward the Tribe's main gate.
The Female Warriors followed closely behind him.
Like a pack of steel-clad tigresses, they bared their savage fangs.
Wei Xian and Eliza stood where they were, watching Wu Liang's tall and straight back with incredibly complex expressions.
Wei Xian's heart was still filled with worry.
Although she knew Wu Liang was strong, he had never been on a battlefield after all.
Opposite them were hundreds of fierce, battle-hardened enemies; could Wu Liang really handle it?
Eliza said softly:
"Don't worry, don't you know him by now? He never does anything he's not sure of."
"Today, perhaps we will get to know him all over again. I think he will bring another surprise."
In Eliza's mind, Wu Liang's dominance from last night involuntarily surfaced.
That power made her whole body tremble even now just thinking about it.
Below the gentle slope on the west side of the Black Rock Tribe.
The leader of the Bloodfang Tribe, Akomann, was waving a massive animal bone club, urging her warriors to charge forward.
This was a woman who was also tall and athletic, with black hair tied into a long braid and her face covered in war paint.
Wearing a tiger-skin skirt, she was full of power and wildness.
Her temperament was very similar to Wei Xian's; both were warrior-type women.
But her facial lines were softer, her body well-proportioned, and her long legs were slender and straight, showing a different charm from Wei Xian.
"Charge!"
"The women of the Black Rock Tribe are all hiding at home having cubs!"
"They stole the man who originally belonged to us, and now Wei Xian has long since been drained dry by that man!"
"Pillage all their food! Seize all their houses!"
"That man belongs to our Bloodfang Tribe!"
Akomann's voice was hoarse and full of incitement.
The two to three hundred Bloodfang Female Warriors behind her let out a festive shout at the same time.
Waving a variety of stone axes, stone spears, and bone knives, they rushed madly toward the Black Rock Tribe's gate.
Their scouts had previously discovered that the Black Rock Tribe was full of strange activities.
Digging earth and emitting black smoke; everything was far too abnormal.
This time they had come out in full force, intending to annex the Black Rock Tribe in one fell swoop.
To take their winter supplies and the man stolen by Wei Xian.
But in the end, they still didn't understand.
They had no idea what their old rival, whose strength was once similar to theirs, had transformed into now.
When they rushed to within less than a hundred meters of the gate, they all stopped their charge in shock.
The gate of the Black Rock Tribe slowly opened, and a tall man walked out.
He was wrapped in animal skin robes, revealing bronze-colored, well-defined muscles.
This man's expression was calm, and the corner of his mouth even held a playful, mocking smile.
Behind him, only fifty Female Warriors followed.
"Just this many people?"
Akomann froze for a moment, then burst into a fit of wild laughter.
"Hahahaha! Has Wei Xian been scared stupid? Sending so few people out to die?
"Or is it that this is all that's left of the fighters in their Tribe?"
