The five thousand people fled for a long time, and only when they were certain that no Qin army was still pursuing them did they truly breathe a sigh of relief.
After exhaling, many among them were overwhelmed by grief.
This time, their losses were too great.
Such immense losses were not something they were willing to accept.
Especially among those losses were many of their family members, their relatives and friends, making it even harder for them to accept.
Therefore, every single one of them had a very grim expression.
Although they had escaped, they felt no joy in their escape.
In fact, their hearts were completely filled with hatred.
"No, we must take revenge, we must take revenge!!"
"Yes! We must take revenge, we must take revenge on those Qin people, we absolutely cannot let them defeat us so easily, we absolutely cannot let them have an easy time!!"
"Kill them all, I must kill them all, only then can my family rest in peace!!"
At this moment, these people from the Lingnan region harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Qin army.
Many of them wished they could rush into the Qin army right now and die together with them.
But they also knew that it was not suitable to do such a thing immediately after escaping.
At present, it would be best for them to find a place to hide and organize more strength to resist the Qin army.
Otherwise, if the Qin army were to pursue them, they would surely perish.
With this thought, after discussing among themselves, these people from the Lingnan region decided to head to another tribe.
Their own tribe had been destroyed by the Qin army, and they had no food left.
Under such circumstances, they only had a chance of survival by going to another tribe.
Moreover, after going to another tribe, the strength they could gather would increase.
Having understood this, these people from the Lingnan region did not hesitate and headed towards another tribe.
However, as they headed towards another tribe, Lin Tian soon received the news.
"Your Highness, they have left, heading towards another tribe!!"
"Have those Lingnan warriors who surrendered to our Great Qin follow them and find out where their tribe is located!!"
"Yes!!"
Upon hearing Lin Tian's command, they immediately dispatched men to follow those people from the Lingnan region.
At this moment, everyone finally understood Lin Tian's true intentions.
He intended to have the surviving people from Lingnan lead them to find other Lingnan tribes.
Coincidentally, those surviving people from Lingnan did not realize this. They still thought that it was because of their strong prowess that they had carved out a path to survival.
With this thought, countless generals were filled with admiration for Lin Tian.
"Brilliant! Your Highness's methods are truly brilliant, easily drawing the people of Lingnan into a trap!!"
"Not only that, even after falling into the trap, those people from Lingnan still don't know they are in a trap, and they are still working for us!!"
"Only Your Highness possesses such wisdom. If it were someone else, they would likely lack such supreme intelligence!!"
These generals highly agreed with Lin Tian's wisdom.
Because of this, they carried out their actions in accordance with Lin Tian's orders.
In their hearts, Lin Tian always appeared to be in control.
No matter what trouble he encountered, he remained as steady as Mount Tai.
This further increased the Qin soldiers' admiration for Lin Tian. They believed that no matter what problem they faced, Lin Tian could easily solve it.
In their hearts, Lin Tian was almost an invincible existence.
It was precisely this feeling that made them revere Lin Tian even more.
Lin Tian did not deny their words.
He simply said to his army:
"The army will rest for an hour. After one hour, we will continue to pursue those Lingnan warriors!!"
"Yes!!"
The crowd raised no objections to such a command.
After all, with people following the Lingnan region, they were confident they would not lose track.
Since they would not lose track, even if they rested here for half a day, they would still be able to find the location of the Lingnan tribes.
They were not worried about attacking the Lingnan region at all.
With this thought, they confidently began to rest.
However, while they rested with confidence, the Lingnan warriors became increasingly anxious.
Although they did not know that their escape was orchestrated by Lin Tian to lure out other Lingnan tribes, they vaguely felt that someone was following them from behind as they fled.
Many among them felt uneasy.
Quite a few of them kept looking back as they fled.
"What are you always looking back for??"
"I have a feeling that someone is following us!!"
"Impossible, we fought our way out. How could anyone be following us? Those Qin soldiers were long left far behind by us!!"
"Perhaps I am just overly worried and thinking too much!!"
The person from the Lingnan region was also unsure about the claim of being followed.
After hearing others dismiss it, he quickly dismissed his own thought.
After all, they had all fought their way out with great difficulty.
Under such circumstances, they naturally did not wish for any pursuit.
If such a situation were to occur, they would all fall into deep trouble.
In fact, it might mean they would all be captured or killed here.
Therefore, in their hearts, they were more willing to believe in a good outcome rather than the bad outcome they predicted.
With this thought, the Lingnan warriors stopped looking back and quickly moved forward.
They wanted to leave this place quickly and go to another tribe.
Only then could they be completely safe.
They were not the only ones with this thought; the warriors from the Lingnan region mostly shared this sentiment.
Therefore, their speed of travel was very fast. In just half a day, they reached the tribe they intended to go to.
Then, without any hesitation, they entered the tribe directly.
Upon entering the tribe, they all felt a sense of relief.
Then, many of them collapsed on the ground, having survived a disaster.
The feeling of being alive was too good for them.
Every single one of them was immensely grateful for having survived.
