Chapter 399 Straight to the Lair
After an afternoon of fishing, all the large fish at the source had been caught, leaving only some smaller fish, which Ruan Mianmian asked everyone to release so that they could continue to reproduce.
The orcs had become numb. Net after net of big fish, they had lost count of how many they had caught, but they knew that the tribe should have enough fish to eat this winter.
Ruan Mianmian checked the time and led her people toward the pond, since the tribespeople needed to go there at night.
Back at the beaver beastmen's habitat, it was just getting dark. Seeing the beastmen were exhausted, Ruan Mianmian gave each of them two energy buns to replenish their strength.
The beastmen who had eaten were all smiles; only the beaver beastmen hadn't. Holding the snow-white steamed buns, they were reluctant to take a bite.
"Hey, beaver, how about giving me your steamed bun if you don't want to eat it?" Rock Wolf jokingly said to the beaver beastman next to him after wolfing down the steamed bun in his hand.
The beaver beastman hugged the steamed bun tightly and shook his head. "This was given to me by the chief, I'm not giving it to you."
After saying that, she carefully took a small bite, her eyes widening instantly. "So delicious!"
Seeing this, the other beaver beastmen also began to taste it.
Ruan Mianmian smiled at their expressions and then began to plan for the evening. She intended to give the beastmen a good meal tonight, and then launch a surprise attack on the jackal tribe in the middle of the night, confident that she could wipe them out in one fell swoop.
As their energy was replenished, the beaver beastmen truly understood just how magical this snow-white steamed bun was.
They all looked at their leader with awe, and at that moment, not a single orc was not grateful to belong to the Eastern tribe. How terrible it would be if they were to become enemies with their leader.
Yan led the orcs to light a campfire, and using whatever materials they had, they began to grill fish. Since the main force would be arriving soon, and they were all probably starving after their long journey, they wanted to grill a lot.
Considering that fish might not keep them full, Ruan Mianmian also offered several wild buffaloes for Yan and the others to grill. In short, tonight's goal was to eat their fill and have a good time.
The orcs cheered as they watched Ruan Mianmian throw the bison. They then enthusiastically began processing the bison, the aroma of roasted meat filling the air.
As darkness fell, Ruan Mianmian looked towards the direction of the tribe, but there was still no movement on the road.
"Ruanruan, you sit here. I'll go see where Yong and the others are." Sen saw that the little female was getting a little anxious, so he prepared to go and check on the situation.
After Ruan Mianmian nodded, Yan received Sen's signal and went to the leader's side to protect him closely.
As the air currents changed, Sen transformed into his beast form and flew away.
Sen flew swiftly through the air and soon spotted the main force. Yong was leading the orcs in an orderly fashion when he saw Sen flying over and greeted him happily.
Sen conveyed Ruan Mianmian's concerns, and Yong smiled and said he would be there soon.
Meanwhile, in the camp, the roasted meat was almost cooked. Ruan Mianmian directed the beastmen to set out the roasted meat, preparing to welcome their upcoming tribesmen.
Yan leaned closer and asked Ruan Mianmian, "Chief, can we really take down the Jackal Clan in one fell swoop?"
Ruan Mianmian nodded confidently: "Our tribe is strong in battle, and the Jackal Clan is no match for us. Besides, don't we still have me? You may not know the tribe rules I set."
Everyone was listening intently to the conversation between the chief and Yan, and they noticed that the newer orcs became curious when they heard about the clan rules.
At this moment, a wolf-kin beastman stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "The first rule of our clan is: those who are not of our kind, no matter how far away, shall be punished!"
Before long, footsteps could be heard in the distance, and soon the main force arrived. Seeing such a sumptuous meal, their fatigue dissipated considerably.
The orcs cheered excitedly when they saw the table full of grilled fish and beef.
Yong and Mao ran up to Ruan Mianmian, panting, and knelt down. "Chief, we've arrived."
Ruan Mianmian smiled and looked at them, saying, "Very good, you did very well. The tribe will not mistreat any member who loves the tribe. Go and eat first, we can talk about it later."
So everyone sat down together and happily ate and drank.
Considering the exhaustion of the arriving orcs, Ruan Mianmian specially gave each orc four energy buns.
The beastmen's eyes lit up and they all shouted with joy.
After the hyena-orcs ate the steamed buns, they felt the continuous flow of energy within their bodies and were stunned, speechless.
They finally understood why so many orcs were fighting over it: the Beast God was above them, and they were eating divine food!
After reminiscing about the past, the beasts sat together for a hearty meal, and then Ruan Mianmian began to plan a surprise attack on the jackal tribe in the middle of the night.
She divided the orcs into several small teams, each responsible for flanking, frontal attack, and rearguard action.
As night deepened, the orcs silently made their way towards the jackal tribe's territory.
As they approached the jackal clan's lair, Ruan Mianmian gave a signal, and the orcs charged towards the enemy like tigers descending a mountain.
Caught completely off guard, the jackal tribe was thrown into chaos.
"Oh no! Orcs are attacking! Everyone wake up!"
Shouts echoed from inside the cave, and the jackal orcs, caught off guard, suffered countless casualties.
Ruan Mianmian stood on the outskirts of the Jackal Clan, looking at the scene not far away, and couldn't help but lower her eyes.
She stroked her belly and said slowly, "Sen, don't you think I've gone too far with my killings? I'm just too cruel!"
Sen watched the fight in the firelight, holding the little female in his arms, and said, "The Beastman Continent is a place where the strong are respected, and the Jackal Clan has great ambitions. They knew we were their own people, yet they still provoked us. Don't they deserve to die?"
