A Colossal Lie

The other Forest Troll clans rested and recuperated under the arrangement of the Amani Clan.

Large quantities of wild animal carcasses and unique forest fruits were continuously transported in by numerous Amani hunting teams.

Amani's hunting activities brought misery to the wildlife of the forest.

The carcasses of animals hunted were dismembered in the city, and large chunks of meat were distributed among the allied forces.

The Forest Troll alliance didn't care whether the food was raw or cooked; they devoured it whole after obtaining it.

Fresh blood from the raw meat flowed from the Troll ' mouths as they tore at it.

The Troll paid no attention and instead sped up their devouring.

"Eat and drink, my people. Rest well after you've eaten your fill," said Ennoka Burning Hunter, chieftain of the Smolderthorn Clan, standing on high ground, before taking another bite of the wild beast meat in his hand.

"The meat here is definitely different; it's much chewier," Ennoka Burning Hunter remarked as he ate.

The Troll in the audience were also very happy and were enjoying the feast.

"Gentlemen, I have solved your food problem."

"I hope your troops are worthy of my food, otherwise the food in Amani isn't very good."

Shadra spoke to the various Forest Troll chieftains who were enjoying chunks of meat.

"Of course, we won't eat for nothing."

"The army we brought are all the best of our clan," said Lothar the Greattooth of the Witherbark Clan.

I hope so.

Let's devise our war plan.

Shadra gestured to the headhunter guards around him to remove the remaining pieces of meat from the table.

"Hey! We haven't finished eating yet!" said Azaxi Liekou, the chieftain of the Vilebranch Clan, who had been focused on his meal.

"Hey, we'll eat the Liekou later," Zadas Firebelly said.

"Only having enough food can put my mind at ease," Azaxi Liekou said.

"Don't worry, once we've wiped out all the elves, you can feast on their flesh and blood," Shadra said.

"I'm already looking forward to it," Azaxi Liekou, wiping the drool from his large mouth.

"Amani's elite scouts are constantly monitoring the elves' movements; they are here now."

Shadra produced the latest map sent back by the scouts, which clearly marked the locations of the elves.

The other Forest Troll chieftains also gathered around.

"They're still recuperating by the lake; I can seize that opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop," Shadra said.

"Are you really going to annihilate them here? Our troops can't operate effectively with the water source behind us," said Rikro Skullcutter.

"Of course not, we are Forest Troll, we grow up in the forest and the forest protects us. We will lure them into the forest and wipe them out completely."

"Hmm, a good plan, but which clan lured them out?" Croce Thorn said.

"Amani is in charge of luring them out, while Smolderthorn, Mossflayer, and Firetree lie in ambush and wait for the elven forces to catch up before joining forces to eliminate them."

"After the elves' pursuit force leaves, they certainly won't rest by the lake; they'll definitely begin to move."

"The Witherbark, Vilebranch, Drybark, and the remaining small clans have sent out harassment forces to slow down the elves' movement. The other four clans will come to join you after dealing with the pursuing forces."

"Release the elves into the forest, and we will destroy them as soon as they enter."

"Once the war breaks out, we must focus our attention on the elven spellcasters."

"Take care of them as soon as you get the chance."

"Elves wield magical power, and our once mighty Troll Empire was defeated by their magic."

"Therefore, we need to focus our attention on them this time."

"Did everyone understand?" Shadra asked, turning to the other Troll chieftains.

"Of course, I'm already eager to taste the flesh and blood of the elves," said Azaxi Liekou.

"It was truly a great battle," said Rikro Cranium Crusher.

"A glorious battle, from which I will gain immeasurable glory," Ennoka Fenlie declared.

"Winning the war means getting enough food," said Krongsai Vinethorn.

"Is the power of the elves stronger, or is my weapon faster?" Zakas Firebelly asked.

"Can the bones of an elf withstand my giant teeth?" asked Lothar the Giant Tooth.

"The revival of the Ancient Forest Empire begins now!" Shadra declared.

"The Loa will also help us; we will surely be victorious!"

Shadra then revealed another piece of news that boosted the Forest Troll' determination to win.

The other Troll chieftains were overjoyed to hear of the Loa's assistance.

"The four Loa whom Amani worships will infuse their power into their most powerful priests; they will become our powerful weapons."

"With the help of four Loa, the Elves are nothing to fear," Ennoka Burning Hunter said.

"I must personally deal with this powerful elf; only then can I live up to my path of honor," said Rikro Skullbreaker.

"Of course, the four Loa priests are just a trump card. If the attack goes smoothly, they won't even need to be involved," Shadra said.

Shadra discussed some detailed matters with the other chiefs, and after finalizing everything, they all departed.

After returning to his clan's territory, the Troll chieftain ordered his people to rest and prepare for a great battle.

After concluding his meeting with the other chiefs, Shadra went to the place where the Amani Clan worshipped Loa.

That was a house on a high platform Amani Clan, where all the Loa of the Amani faith were enshrined.

"Shadra requests an audience!" Shadra said, standing at the door.

After a while, the gate opened and a Forest Troll dressed in a priest's robe came out.

"Chieftain, the four Loa have granted your request. Please come with me," the Troll priest said respectfully to Shadra.

"Hmm." Shadra nodded and followed the Troll priest inside.

Inside the house, there were four altars.

They are Loa Nalorakk (Wild Bear Loa), Eagle Loa (Akil'zon Eagle), Loa Jan'alai (Dragonhawk Loa), Lynx Loa Harraz (Halazzi).

These four Loa protected the Amani Clan, which was one of the factors that made the Amani Clan powerful.

"Shadra, what do you want with us?" asked Lynx Loa Halazzi the Lynx.

"Night Elf have appeared within our territory, and I have contacted other Troll clans to prepare to wipe them out together."

"I have come here seeking the help of the four Loa," Shadra stated, explaining his reason for coming.

That's right, Shadra just deceived the other Troll chieftains. He planned to use the Loa's help to completely bind the other tribes to the Amani.

He had his own ambitions; he wanted to use this war to completely unify the Great Forest Troll clans and rebuild the Forest Troll Empire.
