Chapter 19 The catastrophe is about to start, the alliance of three races
"According to what our clan has discovered, most of these purple-skinned monsters only move around the dug holes of their lairs.
After hunting some people or wild animals, they will retreat into the nest and seal the hole again.
The reason why we caught this one is because it appeared right next to the Zuoqiu Ranch and was killed by our clan’s sacred beast, Ryoma!”
Messenger Zuoqiu spoke in an understatement, but the pride on his face was clearly revealed.
After all, they are the only ones among the three tribes that have divine beasts in charge.
After a pause, the Zuoqiu messenger's expression became solemn again:
"As for how big this monster's lair is...
The leader of our clan said that you can think that the entire underground of the world is their lair!"
hiss--
There was a sound of gasping for air in the big tent.
Even the most rugged Huyan warriors are inevitably frightened at this moment!
Someone laughed dryly and said: "Isn't Leader Yue's statement too outrageous? If the world were full of such monsters, how huge would their number be..."
No one talked to me.
If similar situations occur throughout the territories of the three tribes, what other explanation can there be?
There are most likely hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of such monsters!
You know, the total population of the three major clans combined is barely around 100,000 at present.
Most of them are old, weak, women and children with insufficient fighting power...
Seeing that the time was right, Messenger Nalan also added:
"The leader of our clan also agrees with Leader Yue's judgment. Even if the underground monsters do not take large-scale actions for the time being, we cannot be careless..."
Huyan's senior officials did not speak out against him this time.
How can we allow countless monsters to snore beside the bed?
Just knowing that those things exist underground makes it difficult for them to sleep peacefully!
"So, Zuoqiu and Nalan tribes want to unite with our tribe to fight against the enemy?"
Hu Yangui pinched the stubble on his chin and said with a serious expression: "What exactly needs to be done, I think... the cunning leader should have already made a plan, right?"
"Captain Kei is wise!"
Messenger Nalan smiled and flattered him, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Hu Yangui respectfully.
Under the gaze of everyone, Hu Yangui read the contents on the cloth word for word.
Immediately, he stood up slowly and looked around at his subordinates.
"The catastrophe is about to begin, and no clan can survive alone..."
The alliance of the three tribes is imperative!"
…
【Three Years of God's Advent】, September 19th.
The Zuoqiu clan, the Huyan clan, and the Nalan clan announced a formal alliance to work together to face the threat from the underground.
This is the first ever alliance between the three major clans!
Not only cooperation in trade, but also mutual advancement and retreat in the military.
According to Nalanxiao's proposal, Hu Yangui served as the military commander-in-chief of the three ethnic groups and unified dispatch.
The honorary value of this title is greater than its actual value. As the first commander-in-chief of the three tribes, his deeds will surely be praised by future generations!
Hu Yangui also knew how to reciprocate the favor and promised to unconditionally provide leather armor, bows and arrows to the warriors of the other two tribes.
Nalan Xiao, who is good at being a good person, immediately said that the craftsmen of his tribe were working overtime to equip everyone with better weapons before a full-scale conflict broke out.
Zuoqiu Yue, the leader of Zuoqiu, has the most important task.
In the past two years, thanks to Longma's day-and-night efforts, many small scale horses with the genes of mythical beasts have been born.
Their growth rate is obviously faster than that of ordinary young horses of the same age.
Although he does not have the exaggerated fighting prowess of his father Ryoma, his strength and endurance are both excellent.
With his body covered in scales, he is a natural-born armored cavalryman!
Zuo Qiuyue selected one hundred and twenty elite warriors from the tribe, riding one hundred and twenty scale horses, and divided them into twelve teams to patrol the territories of the three tribes in turn.
According to current information, the number of purple-skinned monsters appearing underground at a time will not exceed five.
Each squad has ten fully armed elite cavalry, which is not too difficult to deal with.
Moreover, there are warriors and material support from the Huyan and Nalan clans, so the risk of sniping in a small area is low.
After a month of this, the number of purple-skinned monsters killed had reached 300!
When people accidentally discovered the sky crystal from some corpses, their initial fear quickly turned into a positive one.
Especially those senior officials who had complained about Zuo Qiuyue's loss of their own clan's combat power, changed the topic and began to praise her foresight...
The harvest of sky crystals has increased a lot, which is something to be happy about.
But Zuo Qiuyue couldn't be happy.
Because the gods have not appeared for too long, and the activities of underground monsters seem to be becoming more and more frequent!
That evening, at a joint celebration bonfire banquet held by the three tribes, she came to Nalan Xiu and asked in a low voice: ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"Chief Shrewd, tell me the truth. Have you seen God recently?"
"Gods should live in the Kingdom of God, so mortals like us can see them wherever we want."
In response to Zuo Qiuyue's question, Nalanxiao chuckled and replied casually, then slowly cut a piece of roast mutton to eat.
Many of the purple-skinned monsters hunted today had sky crystals cut out of them. Huyan killed cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, and Nalanxiao and others also took advantage of it.
"Chief Shrewd!"
Zuo Qiuyue was not satisfied with Nalan Xiao's answer. She reached out and grabbed her arm and said solemnly:
"With your wisdom, can't you see that something is wrong with the situation?
From each hole dug previously, there would be at most five or six purple-skinned monsters.
Recently, it is common to see more than eight!
The casualties of our elite warriors and scaled horses are increasing...
So what if we harvest more sky crystals? If God doesn't appear, we won't be able to exchange the sky crystals in our hands for anything useful.
Once the number of purple-skinned monsters emerging from the ground continues to increase, sooner or later the three tribes will be unable to hold on!"
This year Zuoqiu Yue is eighteen years old and Nalan Xiao is thirty-two years old.
It's just that after being baptized by Wang Hui's essence, the latter's body has regained its youthfulness. At this moment, it looks like two sisters talking secretly in a boudoir.
In fact, what we are talking about is a major matter concerning the survival of the world!
snap…
Nalan Xiao put down the knife for cutting the barbecue, wiped the corners of his mouth with a soft cloth, and said calmly:
"Even if we weren't looking for the Sky Crystal Stone, we would still have to conflict with those things underground one day.
If God never appears from beginning to end, are you going to sit back and wait for death?
Or are you complaining that God didn’t come in time to help you?”
Zuo Qiuyue's face changed after hearing this, and she said in a deep voice:
"No! If it hadn't been for God, I would have died in the Huyan clan's pursuit three years ago. I will never forget this kindness!
I just...can't bear the continued loss of warriors and horses among the tribe.
If God can bless us, we can cope with it more easily..."
"Don't forget, God is God and man is man."
Nalanxiao looked Zuo Qiuyue in the eyes and said seriously:
“God could have been high up forever, looking down at the small lives of ants like us.
Without God, sky crystal is just a poison that can bring benefits but also corrode life. Now it has the value of being exchanged for something given by God!
Without God, the inherited sacred object can only be used as a false symbol of status, but now, it allows the Zuoqiu family to possess a divine beast and the strongest cavalry in the world!
Without God, the three races will continue to fight, just like they have for hundreds of years, and there will be no peaceful coexistence in recent years!"
Finally, Nalanxiao stared at Zuo Qiuyue who was stunned and said word by word:
“Everyone has food to eat, clothing to wear, and tools to use.
Today's three tribes are the best three tribes in history!
Not because of our three mediocre leaders, but because of the coming of God! Do you understand?"
"I…"
