The Ankara Tribe's army was now less than a day's march away from the Wild Horse Tribe's heartland.
Duolong, Chief of the Wild Horse Tribe, painfully submitted the letter of surrender, along with ceding the entire Falling Horse Mountain Range, before retreating back to the tribe with his defeated forces.
This marked the ultimate victory of the Chimera Tribe in this grand battle, with their territory expanded by nearly one-third and their hunting grounds extended by the same proportion.
In the Barbaric Wilderness, territory and hunting grounds were everything.
Meanwhile, the Wild Horse Tribe was plunged into a life-threatening crisis. Not only did they lose a third of their territory, but half of their forces as well. They now faced an even greater showdown ahead.
What would fate hold? Life or death remained uncertain.
As for the Chimera Tribe, they were swept up in a triumphant celebration.
