Chapter 1307: 576: Expand the outer city! Meng Tuoluo meets Lanling!

The twenty or so exiles who fled from the Northern Barbaric Lands stepped onto the land, filled with gratitude and awe, and also unease.

Then, everyone grouped together and advanced deeply into the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Everyone wielded weapons and bows, as if faced with a formidable enemy.

Because everything here was unknown and dangerous!

At this moment, Black Widow Meng Tuoluo was wearing a tight leather outfit, disguised, and looked no different from most of the Near-Human Tribe. She even added a fake tail, as many Near-Human Tribe members did not have tails.

Moreover, she used dye to darken her face, making it look less strikingly beautiful. Otherwise, a beauty like her walking on this land would bring endless trouble.

However, even though she was disguised and concealed her face, there were still a few Near-Human Tribe Warriors on their way who eagerly tried to please her, casting admiring glances.

Because even with her face covered, she possessed a devilish figure. And despite trying to hide, her natural beauty was hard to conceal.

So, she draped a relatively bulky robe over herself to hide her alluring figure.

This group of twenty-some continued to advance deeper and deeper...

Actually, Black Widow Meng Tuoluo was not alone, but accompanied by two others.

The other two, a man and a woman, were experts from the Motuo Empire, also blended into the group of Near-Human Tribe refugees; they were considered Meng Tuoluo’s subordinates, as well as overseers.

A hundred miles deep!

Suddenly, the air rang with the sound of a Griffin Beast’s cry.

Then, a female Gryphon Warrior swooped down.

Instantly, the group of Near-Human Tribe refugees was terrified, aiming their bows at the Griffin Beast in the air.

This female Gryphon Warrior was, of course, Duo Ning from the Flame Demon Tribe; her task was to patrol nearby riding griffins, discover exile groups, and guide them to the Flame Demon Tribe.

Duo Ning called from the air, "Below, are you homeless exiles?"

Black Widow Meng Tuoluo shrank into the crowd, not making a move, because she had a mission; her identity was a spy dispatched by the Motuo Empire to Rakshasa City, directly belonging to Princess Na Xue.

From the Near-Human Tribe refugee group, a leading warrior stepped out and said, "Yes, we come from the Northern Barbaric Lands."

Duo Ning was surprised and said, "Just landed in the Southern Barbaric Lands?"

The Near-Human Tribe refugee leader said, "Yes!"

Duo Ning said, "Our Flame Demon Tribe is the home for all Near-Human Tribes, accepting exiles from any race. In the Flame Demon Tribe, there are houses to live in, clothes to wear, food to eat. You’re welcome to come. If you are willing, I will lead the way to the Flame Demon Tribe."

Upon hearing this, the Near-Human Tribe refugees below were overjoyed.

The Southern Barbarian Lands are indeed a paradise for the Near-Human Tribe—they were received right after landing, making their perilous journey worthwhile.

Immediately, the Near-Human Tribe refugees below whispered among themselves.

"Should we go with her? Could it be a trap?"

"We’ve just entered the Southern Barbarian Continent for dozens of miles, and someone’s already recruiting us. Maybe there are more tribes recruiting exiles, so shouldn’t we compare our options?"

"Right, compare our options! We should choose the tribe offering the best treatment and the strongest one to lean on."

"But, going with her to take a look isn’t a loss. If the conditions aren’t good, we can just leave and look for the next tribe to join."

The leader of these Near-Human Tribe refugees was named Tie Ji. He was once a minor chieftain of a Northern Barbaric Near-Human Tribe, thirty-two years old, and highly skilled, having reached the level of a six-star Demon Warrior.

Fleeing to the Southern Barbaric Lands together with Tie Ji were hundreds of people, but now only twenty-something were left. Among them, about ten were Tie Ji’s followers, and another ten or so were other Near-Human Tribe exiles.

Thus, Tie Ji became the leader of this team.

Upon hearing the discussion, Tie Ji asked Meng Tuoluo, "What do you think?"

Meng Tuoluo replied, "Let’s go and take a look first!"

Then, under Duo Ning’s leadership, this group of twenty-some Near-Human Tribe refugees headed towards the Flame Demon Tribe.

And Meng Tuoluo, bowing her head, tried to hide within the crowd.

...

The expansion speed of the Flame Demon Tribe was too rapid; exiles seeking refuge increased day by day.

Moreover, adverse incidents finally began to appear.

The so-called adverse incidents included fights, theft, disobedience, and even enemies meeting.

Hence, Lanling established the Enforcement Hall, organizing a group of three hundred patrol warriors specifically responsible for the tribe’s order.

Moreover, to achieve the effect of intimidation, Lanling’s enforcement measures couldn’t even be described as strict.

Anyone involved in a fight, regardless of the reason, both sides would receive one hundred lashes, be imprisoned for five days, and starve for five days.

If weapons were used in fights, regardless of the reason, immediate execution.

Anyone stealing would face immediate execution!

Anyone disobedient would face immediate execution!

Of course, such harsh regulations could only be used temporarily; after the tribe reached a certain stability, they would definitely need amendments.

But at this moment, the tribe expanded every day, with countless people relying on the Flame Demon Tribe. Lanling’s manpower was already severely lacking; after all, his foundation was only over a thousand, yet he had to manage over ten thousand. So, any potential risks must be eradicated at the onset.

It’s what they call using harsh measures in turbulent times, akin to a severe crackdown.

Therefore, over the past ten days or so, executions took place daily, there were public trials and public executions. Lanling not only had to garner gratitude but also instill fear.
