I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 826, Live in Other Tribes?

“Shaman, what should we do about those people?” Sha Hong enquired seriously.

She had arrived quite early today, but observing Yan Jiao handling the rubber boot matter, she refrained from interrupting.

“You’re referring to that group of people?” Su Bai asked.

Recently, the Tribe had only received this particular group, totalling over two hundred people. Moreover, amongst these two hundred-plus people, there were no elderly. Adult males constituted the majority.

“Yes, Shaman. They’ve been awaiting work assignments recently. Previously, due to the Dark Scorpion Tribe incident, this matter was postponed.” Sha Hong nodded.

“Explain to me the details of this group.” Su Bai paused his current activities.

“Amongst the two hundred-plus people, there are only sixty-plus females, mostly young women, all capable of various handicrafts.” Sha Hong recalled the conversation, continuing, “There are also twenty-plus children, all approximately ten years old. The remainder are adult males, with the eldest being only thirty-four or thirty-five years old.”

These details had been provided by Qin, regarding this temporarily assembled group of approximately one hundred people.

“Indeed, a favourable demographic. Have you asked about their preferences?” Su Bai asked.

He had no intention of compelling these people into unwanted occupations. The Flame Dragon Tribe now offered numerous employment opportunities. These people could select from various occupations, primarily based on their preferences.

“I’ve made general enquiries. The women are willing to work in workshops or in the greenhouses.” Sha Hong continued recalling, stating, “The males have no particular requirements. They say any work is acceptable, as long as they can exchange labour for meat.”

“What about Qin? What are her particular strengths?” Su Bai lifted his freshly brewed tea, continuing to enquire, “And the other Totem Warriors? What about those Warrior Trainees?”

He understood that amongst these two hundred-plus people, there weren’t many Totem Warriors or Warrior Trainees. However, proper arrangements must be made for those present.

“Her greatest strength is disguising herself. Well, those are her own words.” Sha Hong conveyed directly.

“That’s logical. Her ability to conceal her identity and infiltrate our Tribe demonstrates she has considerable skill.” Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, continuing, “This particular talent could certainly be utilised.”

“Shaman, should she be assigned some specific task?” Sha Hong enquired.

Sha Hong remained rather concerned about her, as she reminded her of Sha Lan, making her inevitably interested in her subsequent arrangements.

“Have those Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees commence training with our Warriors. Later, naturally, there will be tasks for her.” Su Bai instructed.

He had already formulated plans internally, though the timing wasn’t appropriate yet. He simply hadn’t devised the optimal methodology.

“Yes, Shaman. What about the remaining people?” Sha Hong continued enquiring.

“Don’t assign the women to workshops immediately. After they’ve been part of our Tribe for some time, we’ll reassign their positions.”

Su Bai considered carefully, continuing, “Assign them all to agricultural work, or Animal Hide garment and linen clothing production. In summary, don’t allow them access to our confidential processes so easily.”

Although he understood this group probably wouldn’t present significant problems, caution was always prudent. Before complete trust was established, they certainly couldn’t be permitted knowledge of the Flame Dragon Tribe’s strategic capabilities.

“Understood. I was thinking the same.” Sha Hong nodded, mentally recording everything completely.

Sha Lan’s greatest advantage was her exceptional memory, frequently achieving perfect auditory and visual recall.

Sha Hong naturally possessed this advantage as well. After all, they were Mother and Daughter, differing only in retention duration.

“Assign the males to stone transportation and polishing, or forest wood harvesting and similar work.” Su Bai continued instructing.

“Yes, Shaman. Similarly, preventing them from accessing truly technical work, correct?” Sha Hong asked.

“Temporarily, no. Initially assign them physically demanding labour. We’ll make gradual adjustments later.” Su Bai nodded.

“Understood. I’ll make arrangements immediately.” Sha Hong blinked her blue eyes.

“Go ahead. Incidentally, please summon Qin for me. I need to ask about certain matters.” Su Bai sipped his tea.

“Understood.” Sha Hong responded.

*Step step step…*

Thirty minutes later, having received the summons, Qin travelled from the Tribe’s Outer Region to the Centre Region.

“Shaman, you’ve summoned me. Do you have some assignments?” Qin enquired.

She assumed new tasks were being allocated, experiencing slight apprehension internally.

After all, she’d only entered the Flame Dragon Tribe a few days previously. Immediately upon arrival, she encountered the invasion threat of the Dark Scorpion Tribe.

However, she had heard nothing afterwards. The matter seemed to have concluded entirely.

This aspect confused her greatly. This visit also served to inquire about the situation.

“You stated your greatest strength is disguise, correct? Are you confident you could infiltrate other Tribes without detection?” Su Bai enquired directly.

He preferred avoiding excessive circumlocution. Presumably, she understood the reason for this summons.

As a Warrior, most duties naturally involved going out on missions.

“Of course, Shaman. Throughout this time, only when entering the Flame Dragon Tribe was I discovered.” Qin’s expression was exceptionally confident.

Originally, she had wondered whether the problem lay with her. However, since arriving at the Flame Dragon Tribe and observing the remarkable things there, she had gradually reconsidered her thoughts.

Experiencing failure at the Flame Dragon Tribe was entirely normal. After all, concealing one’s identity in such an exceptional Tribe was fundamentally impossible.

“Would you be willing to infiltrate other Tribes to gather intelligence for me?” Su Bai asked.

Due to the Dark Scorpion Tribe incident, he needed to plan ahead, obtaining advance intelligence about other Tribes.

“Shaman, you’re asking me to live in another Tribe?” Qin blinked her round eyes.

“Not exactly. I just need you to reside in a particular Tribe temporarily, gathering useful intelligence.” Su Bai stated precisely.

“Shaman, aren’t you trusting me too easily? Aren’t you concerned I might instead transmit the Flame Dragon Tribe’s intelligence elsewhere?” Qin was stunned.

“No. You won’t.” Su Bai’s lips curved slightly upward.

Qin remained speechless for some time. Subsequently, she stood very straight, stating solemnly, “Since the Shaman trusts me, I shall complete this mission perfectly.”

“Excellent.” Su Bai laughed heartily.

“I’ll inform you which Tribe in a few days. Rest properly for the next few days.” Su Bai stated calmly.

“Understood.” Qin nodded.
