When they arrived at the Friendship River, the Meng Chong fighting ship of the Navy Division Battalion was already waiting here to respond.

Because there were too many loot, it took more than a dozen trips back and forth before all the transfers were completed. Because he was only responsible for the pick-up and drop-off mission, Pei Donglai, the commander of the navy, did not come this time. After the last cavalry crossed the Friendship River, the Mengchong fighter immediately set off and returned to the Beihai Town station.

In order not to be suspected by the Tianfeng tribe, Ouyang Shuo ordered the cavalry battalion to immediately return to the camp. In the same way, the frog horses captured this time naturally could not be immediately rationed to the cavalry battalion. Otherwise, it would really be three hundred taels of silver here. Anyway, the number of Mingguang armor is not enough now, and it doesn't matter if you ride a green worm horse or not.

One hundred green worm stallions were transferred to the Storm Valley Horse Farm by the Carriage and Horses Division on the same day. As for the three hundred and four frog horses and thousands of sheep, they were kept in the pasture on the west side of Shanhai Town. The ranch on the west side, after several expansions, has covered an area of fifty square kilometers. In this pasture, there are pigsties, sheepfolds, and now horses, and it is indeed becoming more and more lively. For the sake of convenience, Ouyang Shuo simply named this ranch Xicheng Ranch.

On the side of Shanhai Town, this "Dawn" operation, because of the news blockade, did not cause much turmoil. Only a few people know what is going on, so it seems to be peaceful.

On the side of the nomadic tribe, because of this extermination incident, it caused an uproar.

Shenqi Lake, the sweat tent of the Tianyan tribe.

"Great Khan. According to the spies' report, the Tianlian tribe in the southwest turned to ashes overnight, and more than 800 tribesmen were brutally killed, and none of them survived. It was a tall, bearded middle-aged man who spoke. He is one of the three major generals of the Tianyan tribe, known as the "steppe lion" Lakshen.

There are more than 30,000 people in the Tianyan tribe, and there are 12,000 warriors. Among them, the most elite 2,000 people were the Khan's personal guards. The Khan's most trusted general, who is also one of the three major generals of the Tianyan tribe, is led by the "steppe wolf".

The remaining 10,000 warriors were divided into the eastern part of the town and the western part of the town, with 5,000 people in each division, and they were responsible for guarding the east and west sides of the Tianyan tribe. And Lakshin is the commander of the western part of the town. The commander in the eastern part of the town is the last of the three major generals of the Tianyan tribe, known as the "Grassland Black Tiger" Dai Qin.

This time, the Tianlian tribe that was exterminated by Shanhai Town was under the jurisdiction of the western part of the town, so Lakshen was the first to get the news. Lakshin did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the Great Khan of the tribe, Munke.

Munch is nearly fifty years old, and among the steppe tribes, he is already a long-lived person. The heroic face of the past has quietly crept up wrinkles; The thick curly hair also began to turn white, indicating that the man in front of him was really old. Even so, no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for the Great Khan of Munch. This is not just because of the majestic blessings brought by the sweat position, but the real awe from the bottom of the heart.

Munch succeeded to the throne at the age of fourteen, taking over the scepter and crown left by his father. At that time, the tribal strongman Gru controlled the power of the clan, bullied Munch when he was young, regarded Munch as a puppet, and wantonly tooth tent.

Munch remained silent, ostensibly resenting Gru, secretly accumulating strength and cultivating lineage. Two years later, Munch felt the time was right. Taking advantage of one time when Gru was drunk in the tooth tent, he killed him with a fatal knife. After killing Gru, Munch boldly used his own lineage to bloodily purge Gru's party and take control of the tribe.

In the more than 30 years since then, Munch's methods have become more and more spicy and bloody. There are no less than five tribes that have been exterminated. Not to mention, which of these medium-sized tribes has not been suppressed by Munch now. However, these tribes still dare to be angry and dare not speak, which shows Munch's prestige. No wonder some people will call Munch "Bloody Butcher" behind their backs.

The other tribes feared Munch and slandered him behind his back. But for the Tianyan tribe, Munch is their supreme king, the god they believe in.

When Munch first succeeded to the throne, the Tianyan tribe was no more than a medium-sized tribe of four or five thousand people. It was under the rule of Munch that the Tianyan tribe gradually grew stronger, killed countless strong enemies, and finally became a well-deserved overlord in this vast grassland. All the tribes revered Munch as the Khan of the steppe.

Therefore, this khan, who looks like he is dying and old, is actually a pool of blood under the throne. Therefore, even a fierce general like Lakshin is also cautious in front of Munch. When Munch succeeded to the throne, Lakshin was just a newborn child. Rakshen grew up with Munch's growing fame, and he has a heartfelt reverence for Munch.

At this moment, the old man sat upright on the throne, his waist straight, and he did not allow himself to have the slightest bit of fatigue. After listening to Lakshen's report, he opened his slightly cloudy eyes and said hoarsely: "Heavenly Mercy Tribe? I remember that not long ago, they just got a hundred green frog stallions from us, right? ”

Lakshin's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Not bad. What does the Great Khan mean, the Tianlian tribe is coveted by people because of these war horses, so they have attracted the disaster of extermination? ”

"Ahem, Lakshin, look at the problem, find the crux of the problem. The Tianlian tribe, one of the smallest tribes in the steppe. There are no treasures, and the pastures they occupy are not a land of abundant water and grass, so what is there to covet? Munch coughed and continued.

"The Great Khan is wise!" Laxon said respectfully.

"Are there any clues left at the scene?" Munch asked.

Lakshin shook his head and said, "There is nothing left of the scene but ashes. The frog stallions, as well as the original horses and sheep of the Tianlian tribe, all disappeared. Based on the residual temperature of the ashes at the scene, it is inferred that the attack should have occurred around seven o'clock in the morning. The enemy was supposed to be all cavalry, with few footprints left except horseshoe prints. Moreover, it was supposed to be a premeditated raid. Inside the burned-out tent, there were many remains of bones. This shows that these people were burned alive in their sleep. ”

Lakshin is obviously an experienced military general, and just from the residual traces of the scene, he restored the scene to the seven, seven, eight, eight Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo and his entourage did not add to the snake and did any tricks to set up suspicions. Otherwise, it is likely that Lakshin will see the flaw.

"Are there any survivors?" Munch didn't say anything, and asked again.

Lakshin shook his head regretfully and said, "The enemy this time is extremely cunning, and they must have arranged a guard force on the periphery. It was also very resolute that the entire Tianlian tribe could not find a single survivor. Many people were caught up and killed after running far out of the camp. One or two, even running to the edge of the ranch, are still doomed. ”

Munch's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said coldly: "It seems that there is another tribe that is unwilling to be lonely and wants to challenge our supremacy. ”

Rakshen's heart trembled, and he said in surprise: "What does the Great Khan mean, which medium-sized tribe did it?" "Lakshin knows very well that once this speculation is confirmed, the next step is a never-ending war.

"Hmph, the Heavenly Mercy tribe was exterminated just after receiving our support. This is not a provocation to us, what else can it be? As for the group of vanished frog horses, it is just a cover-up. Munch said coldly, a strong smell of blood emanating from his body without warning.

Rakshen was stagnant, and even a military general like him was a little unbearable in the face of the oppression of the Great Khan. Reluctantly standing firm, Rakshen calmed his mind and said, "The south of the Tianlian tribe is the big river, the west is the wilderness, and the north is us, and only the Tianfeng tribe in the east borders it. The Great Khan suspects that this extermination was caused by the Tianfeng tribe? ”

Munch's face was expressionless, sitting on the throne, staring into the distance, silent for a while. Rakshin knew that it was the Great Khan who was thinking about the problem, and stood quietly aside, not daring to disturb.

Ten minutes later, Munch retracted his gaze, looked at Lakshen, and said hoarsely: "The Dari Achi of the Tianfeng tribe is extremely deep in the city, although he has ambitions, he will never act as a vanguard. It was a poisonous snake, crouching quietly in a dark corner, silently watching us fight each other. When everyone is exhausted, he will deliver the fatal blow. This time, to say that the Tianfeng tribe did it, is a bit far-fetched, and it does not conform to his style of acting. ”

Lakshin looked confused, this general, leading troops to fight is extraordinary, and his mind is not simple. But I'm not good at this kind of deception.

"Then, according to the meaning of the Great Khan, who did it?" Laksin asked.

Munch shook his head and said, "Before getting further information, useless speculation is not the work of a wise man, and it will not help solve the matter. For now, it is necessary to find out the news while strengthening the precautions against those medium-sized tribes. Responding to all changes with the same and braking with static braking is the best policy. ”

Although known as the Bloody Butcher, Munch was clearly not a reckless man. If it weren't for this caution, he wouldn't have made it all the way to where he is now.

"Whoa!" Rakshin nodded in response.

"But, Laxin. I have a hunch that an even bigger storm is coming upon us. This storm will be more violent than any time before, and we must guard against it. Munch said suddenly.

Rakshen's heart trembled again. In the eyes of the Tianyan tribesmen, Munch was their god, and his premonition could almost be regarded as an oracle. Therefore, Lakshin is convinced of this.

In the end, it is a military general, and Lakshen is not good at it, but if he really wants to fight with real swords and guns, he is not afraid, and said loudly: "Please rest assured that the Great Khan." No matter who you are, as long as you dare to challenge our Tianyan tribe, you must be ready to be wiped out by us at any time. ”

Munch nodded, didn't say anything more, and waved Lakshin back.
