Chapter 774 (1/2)
That’s right, Tigress had returned from the City of Beast Gods. She brought with her a very interesting title and status, surprising the entire beastman race-even the entire world.
Her title was now the Princess of the Beast Gods!
This princess wasn’t the daughter of the gods but just a title. Tigress seemed to be the only one with such a title in a long, long time.
It was a title that had many stringent requirements. Every time the City of Beast Gods opened, everyone was actually also competing for this title. The people of the city had waited for a long time for this person to appear.
As long as this person appeared, the entire City of Beast Gods would reappear in civilisation. No one knew about this, not even the beastmen who participated in the event. They would only announce this to the entire race when such a person emerged.
It was also a coincidence that Tigress received this title. Other than her own capabilities, it was also because of Ye Lang.
Some conditions were fulfilled because she had seen Ye Lang solving similar problems; some conditions were fulfilled because of Little Xin next to her. Ye Lang’s Little Xin really was a magical being.
Many people had thought of this. If Little Xin had been with Ye Lang, perhaps he wouldn’t have been trapped ten years inside!
But that was just a theory. Reality had already happened and they could do nothing to change it!
No matter what, Tigress had overcome all obstacles to become Princess of the Beast Gods. She was now the rightful ruler of the entire beast race!
The beast race had always lived apart in their own tribes. Every tribe was equal, no tribe ruled over the rest. That was why they never had a ruler.
However, they worshipped the Beast Gods so technically, they could count the City of Beast Gods as their king- or highest council.
It wasn’t because of the city’s mystery but because every generation of protectors and administrators of the city were the elders of many tribes. The beastmen placed the utmost importance on respecting their elders, plus these elders were also extremely powerful.
Hence, this place was very influential!
When the City of Beast Gods announced Tigress as the Princess of the Beast Gods, the messenger of the gods, no one questioned it. Everyone accepted it as truth and revered her as the princess.
Tigress was initially quite uncomfortable with this treatment. It took her a long time to get accustomed to this title and status!
When the City of Beast Gods emerged from hiding to appear before the entire world, it was the same as them announcing their power. And it was undoubtedly a terrifying force.
They didn’t just have extremely powerful masters in there, they also had peculiar technology on par with alchemy on the mainland.
Once the city emerged, the beastmen race started to fully retaliate against Soaring Sky, no longer oppressed under their thumbs. At that point, the Soaring Sky airforce realised the beastmen had changed, seemingly much more aggressive than before.
Then, everyone realised that the fierce beastmen on the battlefield had literally changed. Their capabilities and physique showed major changes.
They had become much larger in size!
These warriors had skin as strong as steel and immense strength, as if they had been injected with some stimulant. They become undefeatable on the battlefield. Even Soaring Sky’s advanced alchemy weapons were defeated and they were forced to retreat.
After that, everyone found out that this was a temporary evolution of the beastmen. Some of the tribes had this natural characteristic that required a certain type of medicine for activation. After this evolution, they would be weak for a while.
Other than that, strange powers emerged in every tribe. The eagle race could fly a lot faster, no one could really see them because they flew too fast. They could fly into enemy trenches without anyone seeing them.
These were natural abilities that the beastmen had since ancient times, they just required medicine to display their full strengths!
In Ye Lang’s words, it was a kind of biotechnology, also classified as alchemy. Regular humans would not be able to withstand such a medicine so it was uniquely adapted only for beastmen.
And because of this, the beastmen reclaimed the lands taken by Soaring Sky, even swallowing a portion of Soaring Sky’s northern territory.
Due to their sudden activation of power, the entire chessboard was different now. Instead of Soaring Sky attacking and expanding in two directions, it now felt like it was defending itself on both ends.
A portion of resources was sent to defend against the beastmen so there was less left to attack Ai La. The Vermilion Bird- Ai La alliance now had the upper hand and slowly pulled the scales back to a balance.
The ceasefire agreement from five years ago had already been breached three years ago. That was just a private discussion anyway. There was no formal public announcement so their words did not bear much weight.
No matter what, at least the people of the mainland had two years of peace.
However, three years ago, the war erupted once more. It was because of something small, no one could remember what happened. It was just an excuse anyway.
At that point, Soaring Sky had already prepared a fresh batch of military resources. Once again, they attacked in each direction. Although everyone had already anticipated this, and were prepared, they still struggled and remained at a disadvantage.
That was because Soaring Sky had the technology and know-how, while they did not. The knowledge Ye Lang left behind still required a lot of research to put into application.
Two years of preparation was still not enough!
However, although they were at a disadvantage, they weren’t as helpless as before. There were still wins and losses on both sides…
Soaring Sky was thrown off-balance the moment Tigress appeared. This happened a year ago when Tigress led evolved beastmen on an aggressive siege.
At that point, she didn’t just rely on their insane powers but also strategy. Both Tigress and Athena’s war strategies were so intricate no one in this mainland could defeat them.
That was why the beastmen’s retaliation was so swift and efficient. They finally took their land back in a short period of time!
Soaring Sky had their own military geniuses too. They also had terrifying generals who were the reason why they could still hold so much power. If they only had weapons and nothing else, with Princess Longji’s abilities, her side would have fared much better.
With talents in Soaring Sky better than Princess Longji, Vermilion Bird and Ai La were dead!
During the beastmen’s retaliation, Soaring Sky had severely underestimated their abilities, thinking they were just brave savages who did not know battle strategy. That was why not many military geniuses were assigned for this task.
When they finally realised they had underestimated the beastmen, it was too late. The beastmen had taken back their land and swallowed part of the north. They were now a gigantic threat.
Soaring Sky finally straightened up to focus but they still could not take back the upper hand. The number of talents who could defeat Princess Longji was too small, and they had their hands full against her. How could they still have time to deal with Tigress and Athena?
Soaring Sky fully regretted attacking both sides at the same time. It was too energy-consuming!
Why did Tigress appear so early? Well, she had been in there for ten years already. Remember that her ten years in seclusion was one year earlier than Ye Lang’s ten years.
At that point, she had been very excited to meet Ye Lang, to tell him about her being the princess. She wanted to share her ups and downs with him, to tell him how much she’d miss him.
But when she was out, she was shocked to realise that Ye Lang and Zhao Yarou had disappeared, and the beastmen were under attack from Soaring Sky. Both factors enraged her, and since both the causes were Soaring Sky, she vented her anger on their military.
Tigress’ reputation as a fearsome warrior spread across the mainland, and she became a name that Soaring Sky’s soldiers feared. They did not want to meet her.
At this moment, Tigress was glaring at the leader of Soaring Sky coldly as he spoke.
“Don’t think we won’t take any action just because we’re in Soaring Sky. Would you believe me if I told you we can kill you all now?!”
Tigress’ words deeply provoked the people of Soaring Sky. They knew it was no empty threat. She definitely had the capabilities to carry out such threats.
One must not underestimate the alliance and beastmen just because there were many girls in leadership positions. They were all very powerful and held terrifying power. If they decided to rage here, no one would be able to stop them.
Based on their previous battles, it was clear that this group of girls was also the reason why the war escalated into a complicated mess.
They were all Tian Heavenly Level warriors, plus they had attained this level ten years ago. This meant that they were even stronger now, ten years later.
