But he had every reason to speak with such confidence. This War Lizardfolk tribe was no small one.
There were an estimated two hundred adult warriors, all apprentice-tier combat professionals. More than ten War Lizardfolk had reached Black Iron rank.
Even at their peak, the Kobolds had been beaten back by the War Lizardfolk. Recently, Huo Ling had killed three more Black Iron-rank Kobolds.
The Redtooth Clan's strength was bound to keep declining. How could they possibly withstand the War Lizardfolk's assault?
"The Goblins won't just stand by and watch you destroy the Redtooth Tribe." Huo Ling unhesitatingly refused the War Lizardfolk's offer and gave the chief a reminder.
"Then we'll beat them along with the Kobolds!"
Having received supplies, the War Lizardfolk chief was brimming with confidence as he made this bold declaration.
Hearing that, Huo Ling merely smiled faintly. He said nothing more and left with his spoils.
These War Lizardfolk would never turn back until they slammed into a wall. Now was not the time to recruit them against the Goblins.
The War Lizardfolk's strength also needed to be worn down. Only after part of their strength had been consumed would they become what Huo Ling needed.
The overconfident War Lizardfolk had failed to notice that the Hobgoblin warriors in the Goblin tribe were also preparing weapons and equipment.
The Goblins were arming themselves and flexing their fists at a time like this. They surely were not preparing for a picnic, so their target was obvious.
They would either help the Kobolds defend themselves or launch a surprise attack on the War Lizardfolk's lair. There were only those two paths.
It was already generous enough for Huo Ling to give them a reminder. The War Lizardfolk needed to suffer a little first before they would listen in
