"Chief, we are currently lacking aerial combat units," Feilai said, gesturing to the surrounding area of the Pingduan Mountain Range.
"Hmm!" Ling Yi nodded. Feiya's Winged People Tribe numbered only about twenty, far from enough to form an air force.
Especially on the battlefield of large-scale wars, the air force plays an absolutely crucial strategic role.
" Gold commands a massive army of the Bat Tribe, said to number in the millions, while Field himself is the leader of the Dragon Tribe. Although the Dragon Tribe is not numerous, it is the most terrifying flying combat unit."
"I'm worried, "Feilai said.
"If they send a large air force, we'll be left defenseless and vulnerable to attack."
"Have Taimu others investigate and see if they can find a solution through the Divine Sound."
"Also, go and call Feiya, Hu Mei, Booker, and Bale over."
"Yes!"
There are too many types of the Beastman Tribe in this world. Finding flying units is not actually difficult. The difficulty lies in having sufficient strength and forming a large-scale force.
Another point is the issue of the Sea Tribe that Feiya had mentioned to him.
A Civil War is about to break out on the Beast God Continent, but there's been no movement from the Sea Tribe. Something feels off.
Why do Sea Tribe attack the inland? Because of resources.
This continent has a much smaller ocean area than land area.
It occupies First Capital- fifth of the land area, but the number of the Sea Tribe is not much less than that of the Beastman Tribe, and may even be more.
This results in the resources in the seawater being far from meeting the needs of the Sea Tribe for development.
Compared to the Beastman Tribe, the Sea Tribe are more brutal and Coldblood, even slaughtering their own kind in large numbers for food.
There's no way around it; the Sea Tribe reproduce too quickly.
Feiya quickly found her.
"Chief, the flying combat units are basically controlled by the various Beast God."
"Controlled by the various Beast God? If that's the case, then let's just take them over."
Feiya remained silent. Although their numbers were small, they already possessed the strength to stand up to any of the Beast God.
The battle at Qiuhe Canyon instilled boundless confidence in the priestly legion in everyone.
"Furthermore, I've received information that the two great Beast God, Field and Gold, are in frequent contact, and it seems they are trending towards an alliance."
"Oh? That's good news," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"As news of the outcome of the Battle of Qiuhe Canyon spread, many Beast God realized the value of organized priestly legions and seemed to be forming their own."
Ling Yi nodded. That was inevitable, but Ling Yi wasn't worried. The priests he created were all overpowered.
"Chief, we cannot take this matter lightly. There are a total of 26,000 temples on the Beast God Continent, and a new batch of priests is born on average every three years. If we take a century as a unit of measurement, there are at least 600,000 to 700,000 priests on the Beast God Continent at present."
"On average, each Beast God has fifty to sixty thousand priests, which is no small number."
"That's true."
Ling Yi nodded. If they really had the blessing of tens of thousands of priests, plus the massive armies under the command of the various Beast God, Ling Yi and his group's advantage would be greatly Weaken.
Just then, Feilai, Hu Mei, Booker, and Bale walked in. Since they couldn't fly, they were much slower Feiya.
"Greetings, Leader!" The group bowed respectfully to Ling Yi.
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded.
"I want to send troops to the Field Territory," Ling Yi stated his intentions bluntly.
No one was surprised, especially Feilai, Booker, and Bale, whose eyes began to light up.
"This time, the Emperor Grade Priest Legion, along with the Monkey Tribe, Bear Tribe, and Pig Tribe, have joined forces."
" Feiya has planned the marching route. We'll strike at the heart of the enemy at top speed. We don't have any flying units, do we? I think Field's Dragon Tribe would be a good choice."
"I'll lead the team myself this time. Hu Mei, stay behind. The rest of you, go and make arrangements!"
"Yes!"
After everyone else left, Ling Yi asked Hu Mei, "How is the Universal Priest Plan going?"
"Things went relatively smoothly. The entire Fox Tribe has now become priests, and the Wolf Tribe of Vacha will be the next group."
"You've worked hard. Speed things up. We can't wait. Those Beast God won't give us much time to develop."
"Rest assured, Chief, the Universal Priest Plan has already shown initial success!"
Hu Mei has now become like a head steward, handling almost all matters Xiaoxiao, within the territory. She has demonstrated exceptional management skills, and Ling Yi trusts her completely.
"After I leave, the task of Guard the Pingduan Mountain Range will be entrusted to you. Your primary responsibility is to ensure the survival of our forces. If the situation becomes untenable, you must retreat and go into hiding until I return."
Three days later, under the cover of night, Ling Yi and his group, along with eight hundred warriors from the Monkey Tribe, Bear Tribe, and Pig Tribe, ten Winged People Tribe, and one hundred Emperor Grade priests from the Fox Tribe, set off for Giant Dragon Canyon.
Giant Dragon Canyon is located to the east of the Pingduan Mountain Range, and its route passes through the Despair Plain, the Demon Sunflower Mist Ridge, the Mist Forest, and the Wuwang Desert.
The entire journey is over 2,500 kilometers long, passing through at least several thousand tribes of Xiaoxiao. Even with a non-stop, Rapid Movement, the Beastman Tribe ' superior stamina would require at least three days.
If any tribe is alerted, they are likely to face numerous enemies trying to stop them, and if they are tied up, things will become very troublesome.
Not long after Ling Yi and his group left, Hu Mei received news from the Winged People Tribe.
Gold and Field jointly dispatched an army of 500,000 to attack.
"How could it be so fast?" Hu Mei frowned and asked the Winged People Tribe in front of her.
" Gold has a White Wing Tribe, but not many. There are fewer than thirty of them on the entire Beast God Continent. They are Winged People Tribe known for their flying speed, and they can traverse the entire Beast God Continent in two days."
" The White Wing Tribe?" Hu Mei had only heard of this race, but had never seen one.
"It's all too much of a coincidence," the Hu Mei said with a gloomy face.
"It was the Ground Squirrel Tribe. They betrayed their leader and the Pingduan Mountain Range. By the time I led my warriors up there, the Ground Squirrel Tribe was gone. I apologize, Chief Hu Mei, this is our dereliction of duty."
The Winged People Tribe said, head bowed.
" Lan Ya, this is a lesson. Our enemies are not only outside, but also inside. From now on, strengthen surveillance and notify Vacha and the other tribal leaders to hold a meeting!"
Half an hour later, all the tribal chiefs had arrived.
After glancing at everyone, Hu Mei said to Lan Ya, "Explain the situation."
" Field has dispatched the Dog Tribe, Gold has dispatched the Rabbit Tribe. Together, they have an army of 500,000 men. The vanguard will arrive in a day and a half at most."
Chief Mangrui of the Rip Tribe asked, "Where has the chief gone? Why isn't the chief here?"
"The leader has his own things to do. Why, does the leader need to report to you where he's going?" the Hu Mei- faced woman said coldly.
Mangrui quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not, but with an army of 500,000, I wonder what measures Chief Hu Mei Charm has in mind?"
"Kill!"
Before anyone else could speak, Hu Mei turned directly to Vacha and asked, " Vacha, how many warriors do you have under your command?"
"We previously gathered some tribesmen back, and now we have eight hundred usable warriors."
"You assign Wu Bai Wolf warriors and one hundred King Grade priests to defend Qiuhe Canyon to the death."
"Yes!"
Unlike other tribal leaders, Vacha had absolute faith in Ling Yi, who was the second highest priest in the history of the Beast God Continent.
" Lan Ya, you command one hundred General Grade priests. Strongt, you lead the Behemoth Clan warriors to cooperate with Lan Ya. Keep a close eye on everyone. If there is any doubt, you can act first and report later."
Upon hearing this, all the tribal leaders immediately changed their gaze towards Hu Mei. Some lowered their heads, some avoided eye contact, and some even looked at Hu Mei with murderous intent.
" The Ground Squirrel Tribe has rebelled. I don't believe you didn't know, but none of you informed the chief."
" Pingduan Mountain Range, from now on, is under full martial law. Combat are not allowed to approach the battlefield; anyone who does will be killed without mercy. Combat are not allowed to leave their posts during the Combat; anyone found wandering outside will be killed without question."
Hu Mei had been following Ling Yi for half a year, Ling Yi her many things. Now that Ling Yi was not around, she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility, and her style of doing things was very much like Ling Yi's.
"Ahem, Chief Hu Mei Charm..." Chief Varik of the Keer Tribe coughed as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Hu Mei's cold eyes, he immediately swallowed his words.
This seemingly honest Ox-Head was no benevolent person. He knew about the Ground Squirrel Tribe's affairs, or rather, most of the leaders knew, but none of them reported it.
This has caused the Hu Mei to completely lose all trust in them.
"Clan Chief Hu Mei Charm!" Mangrui stood up.
He first looked around, then said in a deep voice, "It seems you don't take us seriously. I don't accept your decision. I want to see the leader, otherwise..."
" Strongt, kill him!" the Hu Mei said coldly before he could finish speaking.
Little White Bai chuckled Taunt, "How utterly foolish! How could you possibly comprehend the power of your leader?"
He rushed up to Mangrui, grabbed his ram's horns, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground like a sack of potatoes, then stomped on him.
The sound of bones shattering, accompanied by splattered blood, instantly stained the ground red.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. They never expected that the Hu Mei would kill them so readily, without giving them a chance to speak.
"During war, any improper speech is considered instigation, and any clamoring voice is considered provocation. From the moment you concealed the betrayal of the Ground Squirrel Tribe, you were no longer trustworthy."
" Lan Ya, Strongt, keep a close eye on them!"
The Hu Mei's Wind Walk and domineering manner completely Intimidation everyone, and those who had previously harbored some thoughts now put them aside.
After everyone left, Hu Mei stared silently into the east. She was now more worried about Ling Yi, as she couldn't be sure if the Ground Squirrel Tribe knew Ling Yi's destination.
But thinking too much now is futile; all she can do Guard the Pingduan Mountain Range for Ling Yi.
Although Ling Yi had told her to retreat immediately if things went wrong, Hu Mei didn't think so. This was Ling Yi's foundation, and the Pingduan Mountain Range were their home.
"Never back down!" the Hu Mei murmured.
Only about ten days have passed since the last battle at Qiuhe Canyon, and the second battle is about to begin.
Last time, only a hundred Mortal Grade priests were used, but this time, a hundred King Grade priests were directly employed.
But this time the enemy numbers 500,000, and Vacha and Hu Mei are prepared for a long-term battle.
Outside the Qiuhe Canyon, an army of 500,000 has arrived.
Lars, the leader of the Dog Tribe, returned to his old haunts, still feeling lingering fear as he looked towards the direction of Qiuhe Canyon.
This time, they brought not only an army of 500,000, but also a 2,000-strong priestly legion.
This shows how much the two Beast God valued this battle.
