章 13: Overwhelming Might
編集者: Atlas Studios
Tang Sen immediately flew over after receiving the news.
However, by the time he arrived, the Wild Lion Tribe's first round of attacks had already finished. The Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief was holding back tears as he dealt with the aftermath.
The Wild Lion Tribe's raid was well-planned this time, so the Brazen Bull Tribe's losses were significant.
After Tang Sen appeared at the Brazen Bull Tribe's land and walked around, it was obvious to him that the Chief, as well as all the surviving tribesmen, were confused. It was obvious that they had not expected something like this to happen.
The previously vibrant land had quietly been enveloped by a veil of hopelessness. The people who used to tend to the farms harmoniously, as well as the children who played joyously in the fields, were now gone.
Tang Sen looked at the devastation and sighed subconsciously. "I came too late."
However, Tang Sen's appearance clearly gave the people in front of him a little confidence. When the people—who were numb from shock—saw their Divine Spirit, their eyes lit up.
Tang Sen knew that this light was called hope.
"Mighty Divine Spirit…" The Chief—who usually had no lack of things to say—was suddenly at a loss for words today. He had barely begun to speak when his tears began falling.
After Tang Sen made a gesture, the people—who had prostrated on the ground—were lifted up by a gentle force, including the Chief in front of him.
"Have you ever thought about what to do next?" Tang Sen looked at the many people in front of him, who had sunk into despair after losing their loved ones. In the face of their desperation, Tang Sen asked them a question.
The situation was already as such. Even if Tang Sen was a Divine Spirit, he was unable to change what had happened. Instead of indulging in the past, it was better to think carefully and plan for the future.
"Now that the situation is already as such, we can only bury the dead people first. We are then going to relocate." The Chief gave off a sense of helplessness as he spoke. It was obvious that he had never expected something like this to happen.
If not forced by circumstances, who would be willing to leave the place they had lived at for generations and could continue to do so for generations to come?
"You don't plan to avenge them?" Tang Sen asked, looking at the Chief in front of him. To be honest, Tang Sen didn't expect the Chief to give such an answer. In fact, Tang Sen was extremely dissatisfied with his answer.
If a person only thought of escape when there was trouble, there was no way they could become stronger.
Perhaps Tang Sen may have spoken too matter-of-factly, but before the Chief could speak, many people in the tribe behind him stood out. "I want to avenge them!"
The man who spoke had red eyes, "My brother was still alive yesterday and talking to me. If it weren't for the Wild Lion Tribe, he wouldn't have died when he tried to save me yesterday! I want to avenge everyone!"
After the first person spoke, the anger began to infect others. They all started talking about it; their feelings regarding what had happened had obviously been suppressed for a long time.
"We want revenge."
"We want whatever they took from us back!"
…
Previously, they had not spoken up because of the Chief's order. However, prompted by Tang Sen's question, everyone was shouting now.
At this moment, a man suddenly walked over and said, "Chief, a group of people have come. They say that they are from the Aquila Tribe."
Everyone turned their eyes to Tang Sen when they heard the Aquila Tribe being mentioned. However, they quickly lowered their heads an instant later. They had to respect the Divine Spirit at all times.
"This way, please." Although the Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief didn't know the purpose of the Aquila Tribe's visit, nobody would dare impersonate the Aquila Tribe while Tang Sen was here.
After the recent incident, the Brazen Bull Tribe's vigilance—which had been down for many years—was up again.
The person who came was surprisingly the Aquila Tribe's Saintess and some of her subordinates.
They were also a little surprised when they saw Tang Sen. They lowered their heads and bowed respectfully. "Mighty Divine Spirit, after we heard about the Wild Lion Tribe's attack on the Brazen Bull Tribe, we have chosen some of our tribe's warriors and come forth to offer our assistance."
Tang Sen looked at the Aquila Tribe's Saintess in front of him with admiration. He clearly didn't expect the young Saintess to offer help so generously.
Even the Brazen Bull Tribe's people couldn't help but tear up after hearing her words. Many of them were already thinking of giving up revenge, but the Aquila Tribe had rushed here with their elites to help.
This kind of assistance was something the Brazen Bull Tribe had not expected.
"Thank you for coming." Even the Chief—who had been hesitant about the tribe's next course of action—was touched by such a gesture.
It was understandable that the Chief wanted to settle things peacefully. The Brazen Bull Tribe had suffered severe losses this time. Revenge now would bring about more casualties and not necessarily a better outcome.
However, the Chief was now full of confidence.
"We are all the Divine Spirit's people; we should naturally watch out for and help each other," said Aquila Tribe's Saintess a little shyly.
"Okay. Since the people from the Aquila Tribe are here, let's discuss how we will attack the Wild Lion Tribe." Tang Sen impatiently glanced at the two tribes who had kept talking but got nowhere with the topic at hand. He knew it was time for him to speak up.
By this time, the Brazen Bull Tribe and the Aquila Tribe's people were sitting opposite each other, attentively listening to their Divine Spirit's plan.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning, everyone walked toward the Wild Lion Tribe and stood in line in front of them.
In truth, the Wild Lion Tribe had never expected the Brazen Bull Tribe to retaliate with such numbers. The Wild Lion Tribe had attacked many tribes over the years, and no tribe had ever fought back instead of retreating at a time like this. Yet, this tribe had come right up to them.
"You shamelessly attacked our tribe yesterday. Today, you shall pay the price for your actions!"
When the voice of the Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief rang out, the leader of the Wild Lion Tribe slowly walked out from amongst his followers.
He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief. "Hahahahahaha… What kind of delusion are you having? What can you do?"
Tang Sen's figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the battlefield. With just a snap of his fingers, the leader—who was just talking—disintegrated into ashes.
