Chapter 745: Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong…!
The leader of the Semi-Farming Tribe, who had been leading a donkey out, stepped onto the donkey’s bare back on a stone.
The donkey had just taken two steps when its four hooves slipped, nearly throwing the leader off its back. At that moment, the leader gave up the idea of riding the donkey.
It wasn’t just because the snowy road was slippery. Another important reason was that under the rumbling thunder, the donkeys had become nervous and skittish.
Usually very tame, they now hesitated, backing away and unwilling to move forward.
The Semi-Farming Tribe Chief who abandoned the donkey stood there, listening to the shouting ahead and glimpsing the unfamiliar figures of the invading tribespeople. For a moment, he was stunned.
Fear and anger surged in his heart — feelings he had never experienced or even imagined before — leaving him at a loss.
After all, relying on the tribe’s population and weapons like donkeys, they had always been the ones to take the offensive against other tribes. They had never faced an attack from others.
Yet who would have thought that today, suddenly, so many people would come and start fighting without warning?
At this critical moment, the Semi-Farming Tribe Chief once again thought of the tribe’s wise woman, whom he had been secretly suspicious of ever since the snowfall.
This thought steadied him somewhat, like grasping the last straw to survive, though he had no idea what a straw looked like.
He grabbed a wooden stick and ran hard, avoiding the blood-spattered path behind, heading eastward from the donkey pen.
With the houses in front providing cover, those terrifying little sticks of the enemy would have a harder time reaching him and his people.
The leader who had just run out was stunned again — this time at the two tribe members loudly shouting words of surrender.
Are these people the Green Sparrow Tribe?
The Green Sparrow Tribe, which he once thought was insignificant and easy to defeat with just a few people?
There were huge packs of wolves living near that tribe’s area!
With so many grown men, how could wolves still dare to wander near their tribe, viciously attacking anyone who came close?
The leader, shocked to disbelief, saw those wolves standing quietly beside the neatly lined-up men holding weapons in the middle.
Were these wolves actually with these people? And looked very obedient too.
What… what is going on here?
The leader had never felt his mind so overwhelmed before.
His shocked and confused gaze swept over the donkeys cornered in the donkey pen, scared and huddled in the corner. Suddenly, a realization dawned on him.
Could these wolves be like the donkeys of his tribe — domesticated and raised by the Green Sparrow Tribe?
But wolves are so fierce and carnivorous — how could this tribe dare to keep them? And where do they get enough meat to feed them?
His shock and disbelief quickly vanished as he thought of other matters.
These were things the female shaman had once mentioned: taking advantage of autumn’s fresh harvest when food was abundant to leave this place and return to where their tribe once lived.
There were houses and cultivated land there, though production wasn’t great, living there for a couple of years would still accumulate enough supplies to support the subsequent migration.
At that time, he had refused, arguing with the shaman, which stopped her from acting.
If he had agreed then, his tribe wouldn’t be in this situation now.
He was the one who led the tribe to this fate.
As for what the two traitors said, the leader didn’t want to hear or think about it — he would never give up on his tribe.
His tribe had donkeys and fruit and could live well. Why join that other tribe?
But if they refused to submit to the Green Sparrow Tribe, what could they do?

The female shaman came over, speaking urgently to the Chief and quietly pointing to the gap in the encirclement.
The leader’s eyes lit up immediately.
There was a gap — their people could escape through there!
He looked past that gap toward the east, where it was completely quiet, no one in sight!
Passing through the gap, his tribe could head east, returning to their original homeland…
His confused mind cleared instantly, and he urgently told the shaman to take some donkeys and food and lead some people to leave the tribe quickly.
The female shaman insisted he go with them, saying wisdom and courage were equally important for the tribe, and without a brave leader, their future would be bleak.
The leader shook his head firmly, then pointed at the surrounding Green Sparrow Tribe warriors ready to charge, making it clear he wouldn’t abandon everyone; someone had to stay and hold them off.
Feeling clearer than ever, the leader smiled and pounded his chest to reassure the shaman he would do his best to survive.
The female shaman, an intelligent person, agreed and, without more words, hurried back to gather people and supplies.
The leader shouted to gather some hastily armed people, preparing to defend…
Han Cheng stood beneath the Green Sparrow Tribe banner on the sled, squinting at the Semi-Farming Tribe’s reaction. Seeing no sign of surrender, he didn’t wait any longer to give them time to prepare.
Though he wanted to minimize casualties and keep as many Semi-Farming people alive as slaves, since they refused cooperation, he wouldn’t show mercy.
“Dong dong dong dong dong…”
Han Cheng took a deep breath, gripped the drumsticks tightly, and struck the drum hard. The drumhead vibrated violently, and a series of thunderous beats echoed out, shaking the entire area!
This was the signal for a full advance.
The Green Sparrow Tribe warriors and allied tribes, long restrained, instantly surged forward, gripping their weapons as one.
Two Semi-Farming Tribe members who couldn’t dodge in time were instantly struck by multiple weapons and died on the spot.
The tribal alliance pushed forward like a wall, showing no sign of slowing, intent on flattening everything in their path.
The Semi-Farming Tribe Chief pounded his chest and roared, charging headlong at the advancing Green Sparrow army!
