After Su Zhan led his men back to Stone City, it was already dawn.

After everyone dispersed, they returned to Stone City, and Su Zhan, carrying Wild Chicken Neck, entered directly through the main gate as if nothing had happened.

Bai Zhanqiu already knew what had happened in the Blackwater Swamp. He knew that the battle had been fought brilliantly, eliminating one of the potential threats to Stone City.

However, they did not let their guard down, because they knew this was just the beginning, and they didn't know how many more people would jump out to challenge and provoke them.

Now they just need to wait quietly.

Now that the bait has been cast, it's time for the fish to take the bait.

Those tribes that opposed Stone City must have heard about what happened in the Blackwater Swamp, and they must all feel the pain.

Stone City was undoubtedly the culprit in the destruction of Blackwater Swamp; everyone would agree on that.

Therefore, the nearby tribes are very hostile to Stone City. Some are still working hard to develop their own power, while others can no longer hold back.

Su Zhan had only rested for three days when he heard that someone had already made a move against them.

That day, the pheasant-neck came to inform him to attend a meeting in the council hall.

When Su Zhan entered the council hall, he found the atmosphere to be extremely heavy.

Bai Zhanqiu sat in the main seat, with the other stewards sitting beside him. In the middle was a human head with an arrow stuck in it, and a letter was stuck in the arrow.

Everyone stared at the severed head in silence.

When Su Zhan entered the council hall and saw the severed head, his pupils constricted.

He sat down silently next to Bai Zhanqiu. Bai Zhanqiu raised his hand, and the pheasant-neck took the letter from the head and handed it to Bai Zhanqiu.

Bai Zhanqiu opened the letter and his face contorted with rage, but he took a deep breath and passed it to Su Zhan.

Su Zhan glanced at it briefly. It was a challenge letter, clearly stating that it was a declaration of war against their Stone City. The side making the declaration was an obscure little tribe with only about a thousand people.

The tribal leader seemed to be called Hyena.

Dogs are considered very lowly creatures on the grasslands, and no one would even give them a second thought.

But a cornered dog will bite, and this tribe is called the Wild Dog Gang.

They were made up of grassland people who, after hearing about what happened in the Blackwater Swamp, were very dissatisfied with Stone City. So they intercepted Stone City's caravan, and sent the head of the foreman who was escorting the goods, along with this letter of challenge, to Stone City.

The challenge letter clearly stated that they would continue to hunt down all the caravans in Stone City and destroy everything.

One of the managers couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "These bastards really came out! They'll pay the price! I'll go and prepare the men to wipe them out right away!"

Bai Zhanqiu shook his head and said, "They can come openly, but we can't."

The managers standing nearby suppressed their anger upon hearing his words.

Su Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, they are grassland people, and they do have the resources to do so. If we openly attack them, we will be attacked by all sides. Although our Stone City is much stronger than before, we still can't beat them in the end."

If they all unite, we'll probably have a hard time resisting. And nobody wants a repeat of the last time the major tribes besieged Stone City, right?

Every time the stewards recalled the last time Stone City was besieged, they broke out in a cold sweat.

After all, the last time was truly terrifying.

One of the managers said, "Master Su, what do you suggest we do?"

Su Zhan thought for a moment and said directly, "We'll do whatever we have to do! How was the Blackwater Swamp wiped out last time? This time, the Wild Dog Gang will be wiped out in the same way. Anyone who dares to stand up will be killed."

We don't need to make our names known; we just need to destroy them.

Fear is a very good seed; if it is buried in a person's heart, it will one day take root and sprout.

What we need to do is make them aware of fear.

Aren't they incredibly arrogant now? But if the price of arrogance were the destruction of their tribe and the extinction of their race, they wouldn't be so arrogant now.

The manager next to him had a bright idea and clapped his hands, saying, "Master Su's idea is really good! They are in the open, and so are we. In fact, everyone is talking at the card table, it's just a matter of who is ruthless."

Moreover, if they dare to harm our people, then it is only natural for us to harm theirs as well.

Moreover, they took the initiative to issue the challenge. Although we did not accept the challenge, they are dead, so we don't need to fight back.

Moreover, we don't need to fight back. Just like what Master Bai said, if we fight back, they will seize on our weaknesses and attack us as a group.

But if they don't find any evidence against us, then we'll just have to swallow our pride and let them know who the ruthless one on this grassland really is.

Bai Zhanqiu nodded and said, "Su Zhan's idea is good. Let's plan how to do it."

Su Zhan shook his head and said.

"You guys are still in charge of Stone City and the trade routes. I'll take care of these things from now on."

I've been dealing with them for a long time, and I know their habits very well.

Bai Zhanqiu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Okay, you can do it."

Su Zhan stood up, walked straight out, waved his hand, and Wild Chicken Neck walked over, "Master Su."

Su Zhan said, "Gather 500 men and wipe out the Wild Dog Gang tonight."

Without any hesitation, the pheasant turned and left immediately.

Su Zhan went for a walk on the street, and after walking for a while, he sat down in front of a tea stall.

The shop owner recognized Su Zhan and quickly served him tea. After serving the tea, he stepped aside as if Su Zhan were drinking an ordinary cup of tea at home.

After finishing his tea, Su Zhan continued walking forward.

Upon arriving at Lin Yuer's school, we saw children laughing and chatting inside.

Some were shaking their heads and swaying, creating a lively scene.

Su Zhan's eyes softened considerably, and he eventually turned and left when he arrived at the teahouse.

I had just ordered a bowl of noodles and was halfway through eating when the wild chicken necks came in.

Su Zhan waved to him, "Come over and have something to eat first."

Wild Chicken Neck sat down opposite Su Zhan, ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and started slurping it down.

After the two finished eating and wiped their mouths clean, Wild Chicken Neck said, "Master Su, the men have all been mustered, a total of 500 skilled fighters, and we can set off tonight."

Su Zhan nodded and said, "Let's go, there's no time to lose."

So the two of them left the teahouse and headed straight out of the city.

At this time, Stone City was still very quiet, with people coming and going, doing business, making a living, and all sorts of other people.

The majority of them are Han Chinese, while the majority are grassland people.

At this time, Stone City seemed to have become a true Han Chinese territory.

But they knew that such days did not come easily; it was only after the Raptors took control of Stone City that this scene came to be.
