Happy that their feat today would be sung within the tribe for many years, the tribesmen increased their kill rate, but before they could satisfy themselves, they were once again interrupted.
Not by another troop, but by the savage beasts of the Dark Lands. This was a situation that was beyond them, and their Tribe Leader also understood and thus, ordered them all to retreat…
When this happened, frustration built within the tribesmen, and that was why they had initially told Dara, that they were willing to stay behind and battle the two savage beasts that were chasing them.
But Dara knowing that they were no match for those beasts had commanded them to flee, hence their current plight.
When the tribesmen arrived at the location where they had left Troop 3 and Aunt Lin's group, all they could see were savage beasts gorging and tearing apart the flesh of the dead warriors who obviously didn't belong to the Ji Tribe.
