I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

After the clansmen quickly cleaned up, they quietly left, and the fragrance of hibiscus flowers was carried into the house by the evening breeze through the broken window.

Jiang Ning sat upright in the main seat, nodding repeatedly to the bright moon, her tone quite gratified: "You did a great job, and this matter is also thanks to you."

She and the messengers from the Bolu tribe who returned early to deliver the message set off around the same time. Baiya was quite strong, so why did it take her so long to return?

Mingyue had sent people to meet them early on, and together with Jiang Ning, they set up this scheme.

Originally, they only wanted to find out who in the Jiang tribe had ulterior motives, but unexpectedly, they also encountered the Tao tribe.

"How are the food preparations going? After the sacrifice, a large number of tribes will come to seek refuge, so we can't be careless."

Mingyue said confidently, "Don't worry, we only took those things that are temporarily useless to the Jiang tribe to exchange for food with other tribes. The Jiang tribe's warehouses are already full, and we've even expanded them by three more. We can handle even if another ten or twenty thousand people come."

Jiang Ning glanced at her, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Ten or twenty thousand people..."

But he didn't say much, instead asking about something else: "How's the search for tribespeople with shamanic talent going?"

As mentioned before, a tribe can have multiple shaman disciples, but there are very few people with shamanic talent. Jiang Ning also has many daily chores, so he entrusted the task of finding shaman disciples to Mingyue.

During his trip to the central region, Jiang Ning was extremely envious of the scale of the Tao tribe. If their Jiang tribe's hunting teams could also be equipped with a shaman disciple, their safety during the trip would be greatly improved.

The existence of shaman disciples is crucial to the continuation of the tribe. This is different from the general concept of an heir. Without a shaman, a tribe cannot awaken warriors, let alone possess power.

When Jiang Ning was in the Zhong tribe, he had heard of a small tribe nearby whose shaman was very old, but whose disciples had not yet appeared.

The tribe was in dire straits, and everyone was filled with fear and anxiety. They were just waiting for the old shaman to die so that the surrounding tribes could easily swallow them up without any effort.

Speaking of this, Mingyue became happy: "I've checked on all the pregnant women in the tribe. There are two this year, plus the three that were discovered before..."

Jiang Ning leaned back lazily in her chair, propping her head up with one hand, and listened attentively to Mingyue's story.

Although they were all trivial matters, at this moment, being in the Jiang tribe, Jiang Ning felt an unprecedented sense of peace and relaxation.

A gentle breeze brushed past the dilapidated window frame, bringing not only a touch of coolness and a refreshing feeling, but also a faint floral fragrance, so subtle yet so captivating.

She squinted slightly, enjoying the comfort and tranquility brought by the breeze, and a contented smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Then he said softly, "Well done. Don't neglect the matter of going to the seaside either. Send people there again. That fire burned for a long time back then, its flames were astonishing, and everything in its path was reduced to ashes. Everything was burned away. No tribe could survive such a disaster. If we could have a piece of the sea, we would have much more prey..."

Hongfeng walked in at that moment, carrying a strong smell of blood that dispelled even the fresh scent of hibiscus.

Thinking about the source of the smell, Jiang Ning's smile faded considerably.

"The warriors of the Crocodile Tribe and the Cloud Tribe were captured by the Antelope Tribe, who were lying in ambush along the way, and have now been brought back. Their tribesmen who remained in their tribes were also taken away by the shaman disciples of the Tao Tribe after the attack, and escaped to the outside through the tunnels. These people were unaware of the Crocodile Shaman and the Cloud Shaman's plot..."

Jiang Ning frowned and looked up at Hong Feng: "Are you going to plead for them?"

Hongfeng explained, "Hongfeng wouldn't dare. I just feel that the Jiang tribe is currently short of manpower, and letting them die like this would be too easy on them. Wouldn't it be better to only execute their shaman and chieftain? The rest can still be used by us."

Jiang Ning remained silent, then looked at Mingyue: "What do you think?"

After a moment's thought, Mingyue shook her head and said, "No, the Otter Tribe is extremely strong in water warfare, while our Jiang Tribe has always lacked a capable aquatic tribe. Although the Rock King is powerful, the Xuan Shui Rock Turtles under him are difficult to command."

Moreover, each tribe has its own war pets, so it's unrealistic to expect them to form large-scale contracts with Xuan Shui Yan Turtles.

After all, for them, the tribe's war pets have been trained and integrated by generations of tribesmen.

From a young age, they were taught by their tribe how to get along with their battle pets. Suddenly, they were asked to abandon their familiar and trusted partners and choose a completely new type of battle pet, the Mystic Water Rock Turtle. Not only would they need to spend a lot of time and energy to readjust, but they might also be at a disadvantage in battle because they could not quickly master the habits of the new battle pet.

"The reason why the Crocodile Tribe dares to be so presumptuous and provoke the Spotted Duck Tribe is because they know their importance in the Jiang Tribe."

"Making amends depends on the nature of the offense. If traitors can be forgiven, how will we maintain stability in the Jiang tribe? Won't others follow suit?"

“People like the Crocodile Tribe and the Cloud Tribe will not remember our kindness even if we spare their lives; instead, they will blame us for not giving them enough.”

"There's no need to show mercy to such ungrateful people. If we're going to kill them, we should kill them all, nip them in the bud, and prevent any future trouble. This will also serve as a deterrent to others!"

Jiang Ning was very satisfied. This was her successor, who had to maintain a clear and calm mind at all times in order to handle various challenges and difficulties with ease in a complex and ever-changing situation.

Only in this way can Jiang Ning truly entrust the Jiang Department, which he has painstakingly built over many years, to this person with peace of mind.

He then looked at Hongfeng and asked, "Do you understand?"

Hongfeng was a smart man. The reason he pleaded for the Crocodile Tribe and the Cloud Tribe was only for the benefit of the Sky Wolf Tribe and the Jiang Tribe, not because he had excessive sympathy.

Hearing Mingyue's words, Hongfeng didn't bother with their lives anymore, but frowned and asked, "What about the Otter Tribe and the Pottery Tribe?"

“The Tao tribe is easy to deal with; they are unwilling to mobilize on a large scale, so they don’t pose much of a threat to us. As for the Otter tribe…” Jiang Ning’s eyes turned cold.

"The Otter Tribe lives off the water, and we are no match for them on their territory. Most importantly, our Level 6 warriors have not yet returned; those are the strongest fighting force of the Jiang Tribe. We will launch our attack after winter, when the water freezes and Hongyue and the others return!"
