"Please calm down, Chief!"
"Please calm down, Chief!"
"Please calm down, Chief!"
……
When Zhi and Yong saw that Ruan Mianmian was angry, they immediately knelt down on the ground. When the other orcs saw the Great Shaman and the others kneeling, they also knelt down and begged for mercy.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian curled the two cubs around her and held them close. She used her snake tail to lift herself high up and looked at the orcs crawling on the ground, unable to help but let out a soft hum.
"Sen, Yu, Yong, Zhi, rise. Now, notify all the orcs of the tribe to gather in the cave hall for a meeting!"
As soon as Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, Sen and the others immediately stood up. Yong and Yu ran into the cave to notify the orcs to hold a meeting, while Zhi slowly walked behind Ruan Mianmian.
The beastmen looked at each other, not daring to make a sound, while Zhonghemu and the others were sweating profusely. Clearly, the situation was not optimistic!
After all the orcs in the cave gathered in the hall, some of the bewildered orcs were still asking what had happened and why everyone looked so worried.
At that moment, a raging storm seemed to be brewing in Ruan Mianmian's beautiful eyes.
Her piercing gaze swept over the vast, densely packed horde of orcs below, and her voice was clear and resonant as she spoke: "I've gathered you here today to inform you of some things. Those orcs who only seek a comfortable place to eke out a living and retire in peace had better pack their things and get out of the tribe as soon as possible! I've kindly provided you with food, lodging, and excellent living conditions, not to support a bunch of good-for-nothings who only know how to enjoy the fruits of others' labor and wait to die! Since you're in my tribe, you must strictly abide by its rules. Remember, it was you who begged and pleaded one by one to join this Eastern tribe; it wasn't me who invited you here! If anyone is dissatisfied and doesn't want to stay here, then get as far away as possible!"
As soon as Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, the orcs below erupted in an uproar. They shouted at the top of their lungs, expressing their willingness to stay in the tribe.
Especially the orcs who originally belonged to this tribe, upon hearing their leader so angry, immediately knew that some orcs must have thoroughly provoked him.
These orcs turned and glared angrily at the orcs who had joined the tribe later. Their fierce eyes seemed to suggest that if Ruan Mianmian gave the order, they would pounce on them without hesitation and tear them apart.
At this moment, a young orc stood up. "Chief, we know we were wrong. We've suffered so much from the cold and hunger since winter, so we don't want to go out now that we're suddenly safe."
Ruan Mianmian squinted at him, "You don't want to work hard just because it's tough? You don't want to take risks just because there's a safe environment?"
The young orc quickly explained, "It's very dangerous outside, and many of our brothers have been injured. So..."
Ruan Mianmian interrupted him, "Dangerous? Injured? Do you think you can rest easy forever in the tribe? If all the orcs retreat like you, the entire tribe will be destroyed when the enemy comes to our doorstep."
The young orc lowered his head, and the other restless orcs dared not utter a sound.
Ruan Mianmian continued, "The reason our tribe is strong is because of the efforts of every orc. During the difficult times, everyone worked together. Now that things have improved a little, it is impossible for us to slack off."
The orcs all nodded silently in agreement.
"However, considering this is your first offense, I will not punish you severely this time. But the tribe's reserves are all accumulated by everyone. If anyone is unwilling to work hard to obtain food again, their share will be reduced or even eliminated."
Some of the orcs looked worried, while the hardworking ones were all in agreement.
"Also, there will be tests every so often from now on, and those who fail will have their resource allocation reduced. I hope you can all become useful members of the tribe, not burdens," Ruan Mianmian said seriously.
The orcs shouted in unison, "We obey, Chief!"
With that, the storm subsided, and the tribe returned to its usual positive and upbeat atmosphere.
