Chapter 421 The Lion Clan Joins
It goes without saying how happy they were over there, feasting on meat, while Lie, who was recovering from his injuries, looked worried.
Yong came over to bring Lie some food, and when he saw Lie's appearance, he smiled and said, "Who are you trying to impress with this look? We invited you to join us before, but your lion clan is too proud to come. Who are you trying to impress with this act now!"
Lie smiled bitterly as he gazed at Yong and slowly said, "It's not that I think too highly of myself! Actually, a long time ago, I seriously considered joining you. However, time passed day by day, and I kept delaying things, which eventually led to this awkward situation. It's strange, really. That Mao met your leader even later than me, but look at him now, he's thriving in your tribe. And me? I've ended up needing hyenas to come and rescue me." After saying this, Lie couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Yong listened quietly to Lie's outpouring, nodded thoughtfully, then reached out and gently patted Lie's broad back, comforting him, "I can understand how you feel. To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than being unable to let go of your pride and feeling a little resentful."
Upon hearing this, Lie's once proud head slowly drooped, looking as listless as a flower that had lost the sunlight.
Yong silently gazed at his former partner, his thoughts drifting back to the past.
Back in the day, he led a powerful wolf clan and was revered as the Wolf King by everyone because of his outstanding leadership and brave and fearless fighting style.
At that time, he, along with the Lion King of the Lion Clan and the Middle King of the Ape Clan, each ruled a territory. Although there were occasional frictions between them, they generally lived in peace, forming a delicate balance on this vast plain.
But who could have imagined that he would later willingly give up his position as the wolf king and resolutely join the Eastern tribe?
Regardless, seeing the once-mighty Lie in such a dejected state, Yong couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
"Lie, as a former friend, I have something to say to you from the bottom of my heart. You don't know how great our leader is. This Beast World will be unified by our leader sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. If you want to join, then I advise you to join as soon as possible, so that you will have a place in the future. The Beast World is not lacking in brave people, but only the strong can stand by the leader's side."
After Yong finished speaking, he slowly walked into the crowd.
Lie looked at his former friend and listened to his words in deep thought. Several wounded tribesmen beside him overheard his conversation with Yong and whispered to him, "Chief, we think Yong is right. We've seen a lot in the Eastern Tribe these past few days. Their tribe is powerful and has abundant resources. Following such a tribe is definitely worthwhile."
At this moment, another lion-type beastman whispered to Lie, "Chief, it is said that when the Eastern tribe came to the rescue, they encountered the obstruction of the Black Bear Beastmen. You have seen the strength of those Black Bear Beastmen before, but it is said that Yan and Mao almost killed them together. Everyone also knows the strength of Mao and that Hyena Beastman, so how did they improve so much in just a few months?"
Lie raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt and curiosity. He knew well the strength of Mao and the hyena orcs before, so their rapid improvement in such a short time was indeed strange.
Lie decided to go find Mao and ask him for clarification.
Lie dragged his still-unhealed body to Mao's earthen bed. Mao was very surprised to see Lie, and then greeted him warmly.
Lie cut straight to the point, asking Mao the reasons for improving their strength.
Mao scratched his head and slowly smiled, "I admit that our overall strength was relatively weak before, but that was also because we weren't getting enough to eat. Since we came here, our leader has been very caring towards us, and the food is plentiful. More importantly, the leader has established a fair reward system. As long as you work hard, you can get more resources, so everyone's enthusiasm is very high. There are other things I can't say. I can only say that you'll experience them for yourself once you join."
Lie was greatly moved after hearing this. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind to join.
He approached Yong again, expressing his willingness to lead his people to join the Eastern Tribe. Yong was overjoyed and took Lie to see the chief.
When Ruan Mianmian saw Yong bring Lie over, she thought something was wrong. "What's wrong? Has your wound not healed?"
Lie hurriedly said that his wound had healed and thanked Ruan Mianmian again for her help.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "Survival in the beast world is already difficult enough. Since I know you are trapped, I will definitely lend a helping hand for whatever reason. There is no need for special thanks."
Lie respectfully said, "Chief, I have come here to lead my people to join the Eastern Tribe. We have witnessed the abundance and justice here, and we hope to become a member."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she readily agreed: "Welcome, from now on we're all family."
Lie returned and told his people the news, and they cheered with joy. After moving to the Eastern Tribe, Lie found it to be better than he had imagined. Not only was there plenty of food, but everyone could also choose to do what they were good at.
Looking at the united tribe members, Ruan Mianmian's face beamed with satisfaction. Under her leadership, the Eastern Tribe flourished, attracting more and more orcs to join.
Lie also completely put aside his former pride and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this vibrant and hopeful family. He believed that with Ruan Mianmian, his future life would be even better.
