In just one morning, the Tribal Alliance's army had completed its occupation of the entire canyon.

In this operation, the Tribal Alliance's army suffered more than 110 casualties, while the Prospectors suffered more than 300. The Prospectors who had originally entrenched themselves in the canyon were all driven out by the Tribal Alliance's army.

After expelling the Prospectors from the canyon, the Tribal Alliance's army set up checkpoints and camps at the strategic choke points on both ends of the canyon and at the entrances where the underground ruins could be excavated. Warriors were dispatched to stand guard and patrol. Just like that, everything was decided.

In the span of a single morning, Zhang Tie had personally witnessed the iron law of survival in this age—the strong devoured the weak.

To the Prospectors, the Tribal Alliance's army looked like bandits and brigands. To the Tribal Alliance's army, these Prospectors were all thieves. Zhang Tie realized that since both sides had their own reasons, reason was all bullshit. In the end, fists, blades, and swords did the talking.

The Tribal Alliance had the hardest, strongest fist, so whatever the Tribal Alliance said became the rule here.

At noon, with the sun hanging high overhead, Zhang Tie sat atop his Rhinoceros Horse at the eastern entrance of the canyon, watching several Tribal Alliance warriors erect a huge wooden notice board at the entrance.

—This place is now under the jurisdiction of the Tribal Alliance army of the southern Ice and Snow Wilderness.

—All Prospectors are welcome to excavate the underground ruins in search of treasure.

—A 50% ruin-excavation tax will be levied on all gains obtained by Prospectors within the underground ruins. At the same time, we will guarantee the personal and property safety of taxpayers in the Ice and Snow
