The Barbarian Tribe is located at the core of the Black Soil Plain, possessing great strength and influence throughout the entire Black Soil Plain, making them one of the most powerful forces in this land.
Unlike the tribes on the Red River side, the Barbarian Tribe has a population of only about 300,000, spread across two strongholds, yet they boast nearly 50,000 warriors.
The reason for having so many soldiers is related to the Barbarian Tribe's system.
Many years ago, the barbarians, relying on their formidable combat power, defeated all other tribes on the Black Soil Plain. However, the barbarians did not annex these tribes but instead forced them to bow down and pay tribute annually.
Other tribes are required to pay a large amount of food each year in exchange for the right to survive in this land.
This system greatly eased the Barbarian Tribe's food pressure, allowing them to dedicate more young people to combat.
The Barbarian Tribe has existed here for over a hundred years, and there have been powers that challenged their hegemonic status, but ultimately those powers either perished or migrated far away, fleeing this land.
The barbarians' might has long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts, and other tribes have grown accustomed to their brutal and overbearing nature.
And now, a new powerful force has risen, issuing a challenge to the barbarians.
Gazing at the distant stronghold of the Barbarian Tribe, Ye Zhan let out a cold laugh and spurred his horse forward.
"Brave warriors of the Night Tribe, charge with me!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Zhan charged out with his Personal Guards, and the warriors behind him immediately followed, roaring as they rushed towards the barbarian gathering ahead.
Within the entire Night Tribe, Ye Zhan holds the highest military command authority besides the Clan Leader. He is also one of the first few hundred tribesmen of the Night Tribe, and his Loyalty is beyond question.
The Night Tribe has been in continuous warfare for years, fighting countless battles, and Ye Zhan has been present in every crucial war; he can be considered battle-hardened.
Su Xingyu has always placed great expectations on him, hoping he would grow into an excellent Commander.
However, fate is not always as one wishes; Ye Zhan does not possess that particular talent.
Even with Su Xingyu's meticulous guidance, Ye Zhan's Command Value has remained stuck at 79, never breaking through 80.
Rather than commanding battles, Ye Zhan prefers to lead troops in a charge, relying on his formidable personal strength and his elite Personal Guard to directly break through the enemy head-on.
As Ye Zhan approached, the Barbarian Tribe had already become aware and began organizing their forces, but they were ultimately a step too late.
The Barbarian Tribe had been invincible here for too long, to the point where they never imagined any tribe would dare to attack them.
As for the tribe's defenses, they were practically rudimentary, only slightly better than the Red River Tribe's.
This allowed the Night Tribe's cavalry to charge directly into the Barbarian Tribe's camp without any obstruction.
"Kill!!!"
"With the enemy's blood, we sacrifice to our god!"
"Fight for the Monarch!"
The Barbarian Warriors, who had just woken from their sleep, were met by the Night Tribe's elites who had traveled for a day with a burning desire for revenge.
Tribes surviving in the Red River had almost all been bullied by the barbarians, so before coming, they had already anticipated the strength of the Barbarian Warriors.
The Barbarian Tribe's warriors did not disappoint them; even in such chaos, the newly awakened Barbarian Warriors did not immediately break and scatter. Instead, they spontaneously organized their companions and charged at the invaders.
It must be said that the Barbarian Tribe's formidable reputation on the Black Soil Plain is not without reason.
If it were a tribe from the Red River side, they would likely have scattered and surrendered the moment the cavalry broke through.
One can only say that the Barbarian Warriors are truly "barbaric."
"Die for me!"
Ye Zhan fought with increasing ferocity, pushing forward continuously, wielding his spear. Each swing took the lives of several barbarians.
Seeing their leader fight so fiercely, the warriors beside him naturally refused to be outdone and pressed forward.
Under such a fierce assault, the Barbarian Warriors retreated step by step. After all, the Night Tribe warriors, who had fought their way here, were not to be trifled with; they also possessed a firm Fighting Will.
Having lived in this land for decades, they practically grew up listening to the battle records of the Barbarian Tribe. Therefore, when facing the barbarians, their feelings were complex: a mix of fear, but more so excitement.
I heard the Barbarian Tribe has been invincible for decades and has never met an equal. Today, I shall challenge them to see if they are as formidable as the Legend claims.
With the conviction of a challenger, the Night Tribe warriors fought with increasing vigor. Facing the charging barbarians, they launched an even more ferocious offensive, adopting a stance of "it's not a loss to kill one, and a gain to kill two."
Without any surprise, the Barbarian Tribe was quickly defeated. The reason the barbarians could dominate this plain was mainly due to three points: first, their Transcendent Strength; the Barbarian Tribe, controlling the Blood Spirit Flower cultivation grounds and the Blood Crystal Ore Vein, had cultivated a large number of Transcendent Warriors. Second, their Equipment; the Barbarian Tribe frequently traded with passing merchant caravans, giving them equipment far superior to that found locally. Finally, their Fighting Will; continuous victories had instilled an extremely tenacious Fighting Will in the Barbarian Warriors.
However, the Night Tribe was not inferior to them in any of these three aspects; in fact, they were even superior, and now they also held the advantage of the first strike.
Due to multiple factors, the Barbarian Warriors were unable to contend with the Night Tribe warriors, to the point where they had no power to resist.
Comrades fell one after another, enemies surrounded them, and flames soared into the sky. Even the elite warriors of the barbarians could not help but feel despair.
Clang!
Ye Zhan, holding his spear, was fighting a burly man. The spear he wielded was imbued with Scarlet blood energy, constantly thrusting towards the burly man.
After dozens of rounds, both were stained with blood.
The burly barbarian roared repeatedly, his long-handled axe possessing the power to split mountains as he swung it with immense force.
"Who are you, and why are you invading us?"
As the ruler of this barbarian stronghold, the burly man never expected to be invaded one day, and judging by the situation, his subordinates seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Night Tribe, Ye Zhan."
Scarlet blood energy surged out, and a more immense vitality erupted from Ye Zhan, enveloping his entire body in a crimson aura.
Ye Zhan roared and thrust his spear towards the burly man.
"Die!"
With a "clang," the burly man hastily blocked the spear with his long-handled axe. However, Ye Zhan gripped the spear with both hands and suddenly swung it upwards, causing the axe to fly out of his grasp.
Swish!
The spear thrust forward again, as fast as lightning.
"Wait—"
With his weapon disarmed, the burly man's face contorted in terror, and he quickly cried out for mercy. Ye Zhan ignored him, and the spear instantly pierced his neck, taking the burly man's Life.
"The leader is dead, surrender and live!"
Lifting the burly man's corpse, Ye Zhan shouted loudly.
"The leader is dead, surrender and live!"
"The leader is dead, surrender and live!"
"The leader is dead, surrender and live!"
The Night Tribe warriors beside him also stopped their attacks and shouted in unison.
The tribe had fallen, and the leader was dead.
No matter how fierce the Barbarian Warriors were, facing this situation, they knew the tide had turned.
The Barbarian Tribe warriors looked around, then one by one, they laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.
