"Second Miss, please do not believe his nonsense. A seventh-level expert has crossed the border, and the Snow Mountain Alliance has angered at least three major forces. Although it is bright today, it may be dim tomorrow."

The staff advised that it would be difficult for Shang Jia to gain the approval of the empress, and that it would be inappropriate to hedge his bets at this moment, otherwise Shang Jia's plan to succeed Ning Yuanjun would be more difficult to carry out.

"This matter should be reported to the court truthfully. Merchants should temporarily stop all activities and relax control, allowing small and medium-sized families in the Merchant Alliance to contact the Snow Mountain Alliance. This is the only way to maintain the stability of the Merchant Alliance and avoid suspicion."

The second Miss Shang finally chose a conservative strategy and wisely pushed the small forces of the Chamber of Commerce to the front line.

If the empress does not pursue the transaction with the Snow Mountain Alliance, the merchants can subsequently take over the long-term transactions opened up by it; if the empress pursues it, she can push the representatives of these small forces as scapegoats.

Although this plan will cause criticism, it will be the safest way to find out the attitude of the empress or to find out the true strength of the Snow Mountain Alliance.

……

"My fellow clansmen, the elders of the Snow Mountain Clan, who we once placed high hopes on, have betrayed their promise to us. Now, the Snow Mountain Clan exists in name only. If we sit back and do nothing, in the near future, our relatives and sisters will be assimilated by the Snow Mountain Alliance, and may even become our enemy."

In this leeward valley, approximately three to four hundred men from the Snow Mountain Clan looked up at the red-haired man standing high up, their faces filled with hesitation and confusion.

"Is this our end? I shouldn't have listened to your advice. Maybe I could have stayed in the Snow Mountain Clan and even had a chance to join the Alliance and correct those mistakes."

Someone in the crowd pointed at the red-haired man and shouted accusations. The hoarse shouts echoed in the valley, drowning out all other sounds.

A heavy and oppressive panic spread among the crowd. The clan's survival unfolded in an obscure and calm manner. Everyone gathered here was full of confusion and anger, but they didn't even know who the enemy was.

“The Alliance has never attacked the Snow Mountain Clan from the beginning to the end. This war has always belonged to us. Only we can regain the clan’s dignity and restore its vitality.”

The red-haired man did not ignore these accusations. He still had illusions in his heart. At least before he got the indulgence, he firmly believed that the Snow Mountain Clan would not fall apart.

In his opinion, even if there are many internal conflicts, the name of the Snow Mountain Clan will eventually be inherited, and the glory of the ancestors will not be forgotten.

However, he underestimated the influence of the theocratic establishment.

The Snow Mountain Clan has become slaves of the Snow Mountain God, which is a betrayal and alienation for the predecessors who moved to the Snow Mountain.

For civilization, this is more like a degeneration. The family structure has been disintegrated by the law of the jungle of theocracy, and people with civilization have lost the right to convict. This is a reflection of the Snow Mountain Clan's existence in name only.

Thus, the redhead accepted the indulgence, but this did not mean that he admitted guilt.

Today's announcement was a decision he made out of helplessness.

"Perhaps it was fate that brought the Snow Mountain Clan to this point. We did not firmly believe in our own beliefs, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of us. The hardships and severe cold on the snowy mountains constrained our steps and made us cowardly."

The conservative elders in the clan could no longer bear this endless turmoil, and they began to reflect on whether everything they had done was right or wrong.

“Even if we are destined to perish, we cannot choose to surrender. Even if we have to take a road that no one on the grassland has ever taken, as long as we take a brave step forward, we will be brave pioneers, not humble cowards.”

The red-haired man swept his eyes over the confused crowd, and he raised his arms and shouted: "The rules of the grassland are not only made by the strong. Leaving the Snow Mountain Clan and embarking on a journey is the path we must take. We must let the betrayers understand their mistakes and let the younger generations of the Snow Mountain Clan be proud of us. We must leave the Snow Mountain and prove our justice to the grassland."

These words sparked the fire of hope in people's hearts. The loss of their voice in the alliance caused the core members of the alliance to be disappointed with the men of the Snow Mountain Clan due to impulse, but this was not a sign of decline, but another expression of indomitable spirit.

Leaving the snow-capped mountains, abandoning their ancestral land, launching another battle for survival, and demonstrating the true civilization of the Snow Mountain Clan may be the best way to reverse the decline.

"The Snow Mountain Alliance has never abandoned us. The token for commanding the militia is in my hands. Next, please follow me to launch a crusade against the guilty to prove that the Snow Mountain Clan will never perish."

The red-haired man held high the indulgence. The exquisite wolf-shaped stone sculpture shone brightly in his hand, adding a touch of colorful light to the bleak autumn grassland.

For those who witnessed this scene, only the colorful light and shadow were left in their eyes, and they saw a glimmer of hope in despair.

"Let's go!"

The red-haired man raised his arms and shouted, his eyes determined.

They must win every subsequent battle, otherwise they will lose their last chance of survival.

"Let's go!"

The men of the Snow Mountain Clan shouted in unison. When they let go of the worries in their hearts and realized that they were in a desperate situation and had to go all out, the momentum and strength they displayed was undoubtedly astonishing.

The will to fight spread among the crowd like a raging fire. The warriors never lacked the courage to fight to the death. What they lacked was a goal worth fighting for.

"It seems that the facts are just as I expected. Everyone does not have deep feelings for the ancestral land. After experiencing the betrayal of the sisters and the elders, self-exile is not a dignified choice."

The red-haired man took the indulgence into his arms and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He was prepared to be challenged or even defeated by the men in his tribe, and was also prepared to accept the worst outcome.

However, the tribesmen still chose to trust him, and he had to lead them to open up a new path.

This road will be filled with thorns and disputes, and he will also lose the care and blessings of the women of the Snow Mountain Clan.

About four hundred warriors of the Snow Mountain Clan challenged a prestigious medium-sized force on the grassland.

Although this incident was not as eye-catching as Chang Xiao leading elite troops to hunt down medium-sized clans, when the news reached the Snow Mountain Alliance Intelligence Department, Chang Xiao and others were shocked.

"This red-haired man is indeed not to be underestimated. He dared to gamble the lives of all the men in his clan right after receiving the indulgence. Once such a person rises, he will be unstoppable."

Standing high in the valley, Chang Xiao looked down at the local clans who were retreating step by step in the depression below, and began to wonder in his heart whether Red Hair would become a threat to Li Changsheng.

"Master Chang, the warriors have killed the strong men sent by the Tuoba clan and robbed the women and children of several forces here. It is estimated that in one or two hours, we will be able to capture the last area and take the treasures and resources hidden by each clan."
