"Why hasn't everyone arrived yet?"
After waiting for half an hour, the Clan Leader had only seen some core members of the Long Family show up. Not a single person from the branch families or the affiliated families had arrived, making him so anxious he felt like he was breaking out in a rash. He said, "At this rate, they'll be wiped out on the road by Huang Quan before they can even make it here."
The middle-aged beauty beside him spoke respectfully, "The Long Family is too vast, and their villages are too scattered. Your carrier pigeons can only reach the core members. The core members must then send their own pigeons to the branch villages, and the branch villages in turn send pigeons to the affiliated villages."
"By the time everyone receives the message and hauls their families over dozens of miles of mountain roads, it will take at least three hours for them all to arrive."
