When Austin returned to the tribe, the war that had taken place in front of the Dragon Nest Tribe's stronghold was nearing its end.
The Beastman Officers, who had been trained and practiced the Beastman Six Techniques created by Austin, were enough to contend with the blood claw elites, with not much difference in high and mid-level combat strength.
However, in the battle of the lower-level strength, there was a one-sided situation.
The Dragon Nest Tribe's beastman soldiers had undergone strict and orderly training, their equipment was extremely sophisticated, and their numbers were several times that of the Blood Claw side.
As a result, the lower-level strength of the blood claw elites faced a one-sided situation and were quickly slaughtered by the Dragon Nest Beastman forces.
The regular Dragon Nest beastman soldiers who were freeing up teamed together in squads, and with the cooperation of the extraordinary Beastmen, gradually surrounded and killed the extraordinary among the blood claw elites.
When Austin appeared over the Dragon Nest Tribe, the soldiers of the Dragon Nest Tribe's war completely entered the victory-purging stage.
"Your commander has been killed, surrender and you won't be executed!"
With a thunderous roar, Gross's head fell from the sky like a cannonball.
The entire battlefield fell silent, the remaining blood claw elites were already in a slump and now offered no resistance, surrendering one after another. The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
The remaining blood claw elites surrendered, bringing this attack to an end.
This attack caused significant losses for the Dragon Nest Tribe.
The sudden attack, combined with the Blood Claw Tribe's elites, resulted in greater casualties than the previous counterattack against the Zombie Undead Nest.
Besides the great number of casualties, the city walls surrounding the small tribal city collapsed during the battle, with no clear timeline for repairs.
Fortunately, the Blood Claw Tribe greatly underestimated the development speed of Austin's clan and the strength of the Dragon Nest Beastmen, leading to the complete annihilation of their dispatched elites by the Dragon Nest Tribe.
A large number of elites were lost at a particularly inopportune time, likely causing severe setbacks for the entire Blood Claw Tribe.
The Dragon Nest Beastmen began to clean the battlefield, burying the dead, sending the wounded for treatment, and collecting various weapons and resources on the ground.
The elite attackers from the Blood Claw Tribe were paupers, offering nothing of value, with scarcely one in ten surviving captives; recouping the losses after battle was impossible.
However, some relatively strong blood claw elite warriors had interesting weapons and leather armor on them.
Those weapons seemed to be made from the bones of some powerful magic beasts, with one or two runes faintly visible on the blade, suggesting treatment by some means to make fighting qi adhere more easily, and were also harder and sharper than bronze weapons.
The leather armor was similar, made from the hide of an unknown magic beast, with one or two faint runes and decent defensive capabilities.
To kill those few blood claw elite warriors, it took more than ten beastman officers working together, and even then, some were wounded before they managed to kill them, seriously injuring and capturing two.
Since these few strong blood claw elites used enchanted weapons, they likely had some understanding of them, which might help us explore some techniques for crafting enchanted weapons.
If that were the case, that would be great.
The Dragon Nest Tribe's warehouse still contains a significant amount of magic beast body materials, which, if converted into enchanted weapons, would significantly increase the Dragon Nest Tribe's strength.
As Vini and others commanded the beastmen to clear the battlefield, Austin brought out several blood claw elite captives for interrogation elsewhere.
In this survival-of-the-fittest Kawa Great Forest, being captured and surrendering was simply commonplace.
In this wilderness world without laws and moral restraints, wars among beastman tribes were unceasing, and it was common for weaker tribes to be annihilated.
In such chaotic battles, if the victors killed all the enemies immediately, there probably wouldn't be many beastmen left in the Kawa Great Forest in a few years.
In tribal conflicts, the defeated tribe would be annexed, and the captured strong beastmen would often surrender to the stronger side.
In this barbaric zone, there was no concept of shame or morality in surrendering.
Thus, Austin's Dragon Nest Tribe could rapidly develop and expand to its current size within just a few years.
Understanding the common flaws among beastmen, Austin certainly wouldn't allow this to happen again, at least not to his own clan.
Therefore, he introduced political indoctrination during daily training and, under his management, the Dragon Nest Tribe was thriving, winning the hearts of a large number of gathered beastmen and, taking advantage of the situation, instilling a strong personal cult within the tribe, elevating himself to a divine-like status in the hearts of the beastmen.
All the beastmen of the Dragon Nest Tribe could almost be said to be his fervent followers, their loyalty unmatched by any other tribe in the Kawa Forest.
The Blood Claw Tribe was the same; they lacked that consciousness and those methods.
When Austin and the Dragon Nest Tribe demonstrated their immense strength, the remaining blood claw elites quickly surrendered with little resistance.
Having already surrendered, interrogating the blood claw elites required little effort for Austin, who learned their mission from them:
Under Gross's leadership, they were to kill the blue young dragon residing in those mountains, completely eliminating its clan, leaving no survivors, and then guide the mutated undead to the Dragon Nest, turning that blue young dragon and its tribe into mutated undead.
Hearing the mission slowly revealed by the blood claw elites, Austin almost broke out in a cold sweat.
That meant they wanted to ensure his death!
Thankfully, aware of his own weaknesses, he had been quietly developing in the secluded area without causing trouble, focusing on improving his strength and that of his clan tribe.
Therefore, the Blood Claw Tribe greatly misjudged his strength, preventing their conspiracy from succeeding.
"The goal was to turn me into one of those zombie-like undead? And killing all the clan was to ensure no news got out... Why do that? Ah, turning a young dragon into undead would be a provocation to the Dragon Race, trying to involve them... Indeed, the Tribe Alliance surely knows some more secretive information..."
Despite his relief, Austin felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
After this attack, he realized that his comfortable and steady development days wouldn't last long.
