Chapter 382: The Real Fire (1/2)
Pride and Kairu almost persuaded the Chief of Light Bombyx Tribe to be the empire's vassal. The sudden announcement about the territory war cornered the Chief of the Light Bombyx Tribe to make a quick decision.
However, the five Fire Bombyx Mori came over and disrupted the talk. Kairu was pissed off by the five red bugs.
Pride, who noticed the tense atmosphere between his friend and the five Fire Bombyx Mori, nudged his friend and whispered, ”Oy, don't antagonize them. It will be better if we can persuade the other Bombyx Mori Tribes to be the empire's vassal too.”
There were five tribes of Bombyx Mori. The Light Bombyx Mori Tribe, The Fire Bombyx Mori Tribe, The Wind Bombyx Mori Tribe, The Ice Bombyx Mori Tribe, and The Metal Bombyx Mori Tribe.
All five tribes corporated into one, The Bombyx Mori Tribe. One of the participants of the Territory War Game.
Amongst the five tribes, the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe was not specialized in the battle. The Light Elemental Attribute could be used to heal, create protection, and support the fighter as well.
That was the reason why The Light Bombyx Mori Tribe was getting cornered by the zombies. They lacked in combat.
Noticing the special traits of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe, Kairu and Pride planned to convert this tribe to be the empire's vassal. Both believed that The Lord would be pleased if they had the Light Bombyx Tribe join their force.
The Light Bombyx Mori's presence could reduce the casualties on the battlefield and their supporting skills could enhance the power of the Tarrior. That was why Kairu did not like this Fire Bombyx Mori who interrupted his plan.
”What if I decline the offer? What will you do to us? Will the empire spare us?” Helia looked at Pride and asked. She did not bother to mediate the tense atmosphere between Kairu and the five Fire Bombyx Mori.
Before Pride could answer her, Kairu spoke first. He stepped forward, ”Then we will eradicate the Light Bombyx Tribe! Don't you also get the notification about the war? We will not spare a tribe that could be a potential threat to the empire!”
The Flaming Lion said those words out coldly. If not for the Territory War Game, he might spare this tribe. But now the situation was different, this was a war. Mercy to your enemy meant merciless to yourself. Even though the tribe was just a potential threat, he would eradicate them before they could become a real threat.
There was silence for a moment while the five Fire Bombyx Mori were looking back and forth between Kairu and Helia. The five were still clueless about the talk between the two sides.
”Then the last question. This will be my last question before I make my decision for me and my tribe. How confident are you that the empire will win the war?” It was a straightforward question from Helia.
”Don't be stupid, we will win this war for sure! Those zombies are nothing in front of My Lord!” Kairu replied loudly and confidently.
Tang Shaoyang had inherited Rumru's bloodline, a Dragon's bloodline. Even though Tang Shaoyang was not even half as strong as Rumru, Tang Shaoyang was still partly a dragon. The undead stood no chance against the empire.
Helia looked Kairu into the eyes. They exchanged glances for some time before Helia spoke again, ”Then I am willing to be the empire's vassal but with a condition.”
”We will listen!” Pride decided to interfere before his buddy did something impulsive again.
”If only you can bring us to meet your Lord, then I am willing to entrust my tribe to the empire!” As soon as Helia said that, the five Bombyx Mori Tribe could no longer watch everything from the side.
”Helia!!! Do you plan to rebel against the tribe? Are you ready to receive Chief Vehiel's wrath!?” The Fire Bombyx Mori spoke to Helia angrily.
Meanwhile, Kairu grinned ear to ear as soon as he heard the condition. Helia was asking him and Pride to protect the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe from the other tribes. The condition was easy, protecting them from the other tribes.
”Pride, contact Boss and ask for the reinforcement. They should enter the territory by now,” Kairu whispered to the Demonic Ape as he eyed the five Fire Bombyx Mori.
”What are you going to do? Are you going to be having fun without me?” Pride could tell what his adventure buddy wanted to do. He did not want to get excluded from this.
”Stupid, this is our chance. Let me show off our prowess to convince the leader of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe. We can have more fun later since the other tribes will not let us bring Light Bombyx Mori Tribe without fighting back.
”Don't take me as stupid! Where are you Fire Bombyx Mori Tribe when we are being attacked by the zombies? Where are all of you when my kind is getting slaughtered?”
