As we all know, there were originally five tribes distributed in the land where the lizardmen gathered, namely the Shensha, Bloodfang, Blackwind, Talon and Witchwood tribes.

After the Shensha tribe was forced to migrate on a large scale, there are now only four tribes living there.

After Shilon's investigation, we learned that since the Black Wind tribe conquered all the tribes, their leader Zael has implemented a hierarchical system for all lizardmen.

The people of the Black Wind tribe are the superior people, while the lizardmen of the other three tribes are all the inferior people.

Not only that, all weapons of the defeated tribes must be collected and handed over, and private manufacturing of weapons is strictly prohibited.

Once discovered, violators will be publicly executed to serve as a warning to lower-class people who have complaints.

As a result, the defeated tribes were unable to organize effective fighting power and could only become lambs slaughtered by the Black Wind tribe.

More importantly, the Black Wind tribe has a monopoly on the lizard people's main food - fish.

As mentioned earlier, the lizardmen tribe has relied on catching fish from the Wenshui River for generations to make a living. Once the number of lizardmen becomes too large, wars will break out between the tribes and they will survive the food crisis by reducing the population.

All fish caught by the defeated tribes from the Wenshui River must be handed over to the Black Wind tribe, who will then distribute them.

The Black Wind tribe must give priority to meeting its own needs, and the food share given to the other three tribes is naturally pitifully small.

Just make sure that the low-class people are hungry and don't starve to death.

Even if they want to resist and go to the battlefield hungry, how can they have the strength to fight against the well-fed and well-fed Blackwind lizardmen?

In addition, the Black Wind tribe also sent three troops to garrison in the villages of the defeated tribes.

This group of lizardmen is the boss there, with a higher status than the clan leader. They run rampant and domineering, and even wantonly assault the young female lizardmen in the village.

In this regard, the defeated tribes who did not even have weapons dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

Stand up and resist? That will only lead to a more severe blow.

Knowing that the three tribes of Bloodfang, Talon and Witchwood had met such an end, Shiron felt sad and at the same time thought that this was an opportunity that could be exploited.

Therefore, he obtained Lusha's consent and secretly contacted the defeated tribes on behalf of the Shensha tribe.

In the depths of the Mysterious Forest, Xilong and his five companions arrived near the east bank of the Wenshui River ahead of the troops led by Lusha. Each of them carried a large bundle of spears on their backs.

Arriving at the agreed-upon hiding place, Xiron and his party met four lizardmen sent by the Bloodfang tribe.

Compared with the Shensha tribe, the lizardmen of the Bloodfang tribe have roughly the same appearance.

The scales of the Bloodfang Lizardmen are darker and redder, and their teeth are sharper and more numerous.

After instructing his two companions to put down the two bundles of weapons, Shiron turned to look at Chi En, the agent of the Bloodfang tribe.

"This is the last batch of weapons to support you."

After taking a look at the spear provided by the other party, Chi En questioned: "Shensha tribe, the weapons you provided this time are very exquisite, but they are not like those that we lizard people can make."

In order to allow the defeated tribes to regain a certain fighting strength, Hieron provided them with three batches of weapons.

The first two times were spears used by the Shensha tribe themselves, and now they are spears used by the militia.

"You're right, these spears are all made by humans." Xiron didn't intend to hide it.

In other words, there is no need to hide it. It is estimated that the other party has already suspected it from the moment he saw Xilong's clothes, but he has never revealed it.

"As expected, the originally proud Shensha Tribe has actually fallen and begged for help from humans."

It's no wonder that Chi'en thinks so. The lizard people who have been living in the Mysterious Forest believe that humans are very cunning and cannot be trusted.

Since the Shensha Tribe could obtain human weapons, they must have humbly sought help from humans and then agreed to their unreasonable demands.

"Say we get help from humans, doesn't that mean the same goes for your Bloodfang tribe?"

Xiron's face darkened and he said sarcastically: "Most of the food reserves used for the winter were taken away by the Black Wind tribe. If we hadn't secretly sent human food, how many people in your Bloodfang tribe would have died in the winter that just passed?

"

"You...hum!"

Chi En snorted coldly, having nothing to say.

Indeed, as Xiron said, without the secret help of the Sinking Sand Tribe, many members of the Bloodfang Tribe would have starved to death in the winter.

The other three tribes all knew that the Shensha tribe was forced to move after its defeat.

Unexpectedly, winter had just passed, and they were preparing to return here to take revenge on the Black Wind tribe. This made the leader of the defeated tribe feel incredible and confused.

Where did this courage come from? Even though it had failed once before, the Shensha Tribe recovered from its decline in just one winter? Impossible!

Think of the food and weapons provided by the Shensha Tribe, all of which come from humans.

There is a speculation within the defeated tribe that humans intend to use the hands of the Shensha tribe to control the entire lizard people gathering place and enslave all lizard people to work for humans.

Whether they are enslaved by the Black Wind Tribe or enslaved by humans, they do not want to see it.

"Being human beings' lackeys will plunge all lizardmen into endless hell." Chi En said coldly.

"How much do you know about human beings? You have no contact with them at all, and you came to this conclusion based only on the last words left by your ancestors in the past."

In fact, the Lizardmen have been living a closed life deep in the Mysterious Forest for a long time.

Now, the elders in each tribe have never come into contact with humans, and they all rely on the information left by their ancestors.

"The last words of our ancestors are to prevent us from being harmed. How can we not listen to them?" Chi En took a matter-of-fact attitude.

"At first, we didn't trust humans either."

In this case, Xilon had no choice but to express his own opinion: "But as time went by, we discovered that there are good people among humans, and we established basic mutual trust with them. Our ancestors may have completely denied human beings to protect us, but we cannot blindly follow them.

.Please rest assured that the humans we befriended have no intention of enslaving the lizard people."

"Really? Don't let humans fool you."

Not wanting to continue arguing about this topic, Chi En changed the question.

"Shensha Tribe, are you planning to use the power of human knights to destroy the Black Wind Tribe?"

"No." Xiron shook his head, "We only received weapon assistance from humans."

Later, he added: "After a whole winter of preparations, we are confident that we can defeat the Black Wind tribe on our own."

"Poof! Hahaha——"

Hearing this, Chi En couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's just you? We were obviously defeated by the Black Wind tribe and had to migrate to survive. I guess there aren't many tribesmen left now. How much fighting power can we have?"

?”

"No need to worry about it."

Shiron was not interested in explaining the power of the musket to the other party. Once they defeated the Black Wind Tribe, they would understand where the Sinking Sand Tribe's confidence came from.

"Our troops have been dispatched and are heading here. It is estimated that in three days, they will launch an attack on the Black Wind tribe's villages. At that time, you only need to cooperate with our actions, and don't break your promise.

"

"We will definitely do what we promised."

Chi En gestured to the tribesmen next to him with his eyes.

The two accompanying tribesmen nodded, walked over, picked up two bundles of spears, and carried them on their backs.

"We have had enough of the oppression of the Black Wind Tribe and will resist sooner or later. I hope this operation will be successful."

After saying that, Chi En turned around and took his tribe back.
