396 Massacre (2/2)
Outside of the tribal chief's cultivation chamber, a few warriors could be seen pacing back and forth with a hint of urgency.
Some time ago, they received vital information from the Darkmoon Tribe via the long-range voice transmission pillar in their tribe.
However, due to their tribal chief untimely cultivation session, they could not relay the information until now.
As they paced back and forth for hours, they started to contemplate whether they should break into the tribal chief's cultivation chamber and risk angering their chief to deliver the information.
They had already reviewed the information and knew what must be done. However, it still ultimately required Chief Baskara to issue the order.
To make decisions on their own without the chief's express permission could be viewed as disrespect and disloyalty to the chief.
Suddenly, the doors to the cultivation chamber finally opened. Red mist oozed out from the room as Chief Baskara walked out topless while wiping his soaking sweat body with a towel.
The inside of the cultivation chamber was painted with a pink atmosphere as a few bare women laid exhausted on the bed.
”Hm? What are you all doing here at the door? Did something happen?” Asked Chief Baskara when he noticed the few warriors waiting for him with urgent looks.
”Something indeed did happen and requires your decision, my chief.” Said a warrior.
Chief Baskara frowned after reading their expressions and said solemnly, ”Tell me about it.”
…
Blackwind Tribe Ruins.
Just on the outskirt of the tribe that fell into ruins, a few thousands of vagabond warriors arrived in scattered groups from different directions. They converged at a single point outside the ruins before they entered together.
”Hahaha, we are in luck this time. Look at all these Soul Weapons and Enchanted Equipment laying on the ground! Loot, we must loot everything before the others arrive! Go!” A vagabond ordered with joy. He appeared to be the leader of the group of 3000-odd vagabond warriors.
The vagabond warriors immediately rushed into the ruined tribe and scavenged for resources and treasures with avaricious eyes. Only a few hundred vagabonds remained behind and waited for the vagabond leader's special instruction.
”The rest of you, follow me. We will search for the tribe's catacombs. That is where the Blackwind Tribe's ancestors are laid to rest. The treasures they possessed when they were alive should be buried there with them!” Said the vagabond leader.
In truth, they were not real vagabonds. They were warriors from the Great Ironhawk Tribe, sent by the great tribal chief himself who saw the Bone Calamity as an opportunity to plunder the resources and treasures of the Seven Tribe Alliance!
”Yes, Big Brother Ironfist!”
The group of 500 Great Warriors made their way to the heart of the former Blackwind Tribe under Ironfist's lead. The entrance to the mines was found shortly after.
However, Ironfist frowned and halted the group at the entrance with a raised hand. The group of Great Warriors immediately looked at their leader with puzzled looks.
”Something is wrong here!” Loudly stated Ironfist.
”What did you discover, Big Brother Ironfist?” Asked a High-rank Great Warrior.
”Take a look at the edges of the mine. There are signs of a collapse, but there is a clear pathway leading deeper inside. Someone has arrived here before us!” Ironfist pointed at the clues on the edges.
”Does that mean that the treasures in the catacombs have already been looted? We were a step too late?” Another Great Warrior asked with a disappointed look.
”Not necessarily! There are so many high-quality Soul Weapons, Enchant Equipment, and accessories scattered everywhere. I do not believe that these people who arrived before us would not be interested in these things! They are most likely still inside. We don't know how many people they have, so we will set an ambush here and wait for them to come out!”
Once Ironfist decided, the Great Ironhawk Tribe's Great Warriors immediately got to work by warning the others before going into hiding nearby.
Sometime later, two figures shrouded in darkness could be seen exiting the mines. After taking a few steps outside, one of them paused and looked around with interest.
”Oh? Seems like some guests have arrived to offer themselves as sacrifices for our new pets. Go play with them!” Said the Lich on the left.
”You go play with them too.” The Lich on the right added.
Two figures immediately shot past the two Liches from within the mine entrance's darkness and dived into the damaged buildings in the distance.
Shortly after, horrified screams were heard as the warriors in hiding were quickly found and slaughtered like helpless chickens.
It was a complete massacre.
