Chương 36: Easily Triggered

Tang Sen should have treated the Beastkind tribes sternly. But as he stared at the so-called allied forces—formed by the four major tribes—in front of him, he didn't know what kind of expression he should have.
To put it nicely, they were brave and fearless. To put it bluntly, they were ignorant and did not know any better.
This was what Tang Sen thought. When constructing the city's defensive facilities, Tang Sen thought about a lot of matters that he actually didn't have to consider. In fact, as long as Tang Sen gave orders to keep the city gates tightly shut, the Beastkind tribes would be helpless.
They would have no choice but to bang their heads against the wall.
But even though they had ended up in such a state, Tang Sen did not act impulsively because he was still uncertain about the Dwarfs—who were hiding behind the Beastkind tribes. In fact, he had seen the weapon that the Dwarfs created.
At the time, that weapon had basically brought about a great deal of trouble for the Wild Lion Tribe and the Aquila Tribe. Although it was burned down by Tang Sen in the end, Tang Sen didn't want to get involved with the risky situation.
He could not guarantee that the Dwarfs would not deal with them using something unimaginable this time.
Tang Sen's silence caused the Beastkind tribes—which were waiting below—to feel extremely anxious. In the beginning, they were all energetic and invigorated, and their eyes were full of battle intent. Basically, they were ready to die.
Perhaps it was because such a long time had passed and Tang Sen had been remaining still, the Beastkind below the city were looking around in confusion.
There was more than just a group of spectators below. At this moment, the various tribes' Chiefs were extremely clear about their tribesmen's emotions. But when they saw how Tang Sen was not responding to the commotion, the Beastkind began mumbling continuously and worriedly.
"Do you think they will go to war with us at this time?" asked the Centaur Tribe's leader. This time, they were actually hesitant to come here. After all, Tang Sen had the Wild Lion Tribe and the Ferocious Tiger Tribe under him—both of which were not to be trifled with.
Besides, there were also the Aquila Tribe and the Fox Demon Tribe. Although they were not as competent in combat as the Wild Lion Tribe and Ferocious Tiger Tribe, their combat power was still terrifying.
"They will come out," said the Capricorn Tribe's leader. Among the four tribes, only the Capricorn Tribe had a genuine feud with Tang Sen, and they were well aware of his abilities.
But the words of the Capricorn Tribe's leader did not gain the Brutal Wolf Tribe and the Blood Panther Tribe's approval.
The Brutal Wolf Tribe's leader sighed when he looked at the majestic city in front of him. "I think they won't come out today. Do we just stand here and continue wasting time?"
The Blood Panther Tribe's members didn't quite approve of Tang Sen's decision. The leader sneered and looked at the city wall ahead. "I really don't know why the Wild Lion Tribe and the Ferocious Tiger Tribe are willing to believe and worship such a Divine Spirit. Apart from being cowardly, he's also very useless."
The Capricorn Tribe's leader chimed in, "You guys really don't know any better. If you haven't fought with them, don't say such things."
The Blood Panther Tribe's leader was not too bothered by his words. He had gotten used to being haughty and arrogant in his tribe. Hence, he was naturally angered after hearing those words from the Capricorn Tribe's leader.
"I shall wait and see." The Blood Panther Tribe's leader was very confident in himself. Although the Ferocious Tiger Tribe and the Wild Lion Tribe were there, the Wild Lion Tribe and the Aquila Tribe had suffered severe losses previously. Hence, it was hard to say who was stronger.
At this moment, the Brutal Wolf Tribe's leader said, "They're a tribe that has fought with the Divine Spirit, so they are naturally different from us. You will never experience the feeling of being blown out of your own den."
After the Brutal Wolf Tribe's leader said that, the Brutal Wolf Tribe and the Blood Panther Tribe guffawed. They clearly did not take the situation seriously. But when the Capricorn Tribe's leader heard those words, his face turned extremely sullen.
However, the Brutal Wolf Tribe and the Blood Panther Tribe were top tribes. Getting into a conflict now would indeed not be a wise decision. Although the Capricorn Tribe's leader was visibly angered, he nonetheless bit the bullet and suppressed his exasperation.
Seeing that tension was rising, the Centaur Tribe's leader quickly stood out to give them an out. "Cut it out. It's not the time for conflict. When we get into a fight with them, we'll be on the same side."
In fact, the Blood Panther Tribe and the Brutal Wolf Tribe were well aware of this. However, they were bored and had long wanted to leave because nothing was happening.
The Brutal Wolf Tribe's leader sneered and jibed, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you about this. If I had known that such things were here, I definitely wouldn't have joined you."
When the Brutal Wolf Tribe's leader said that, he looked at the Capricorn Tribe's leader—who was infuriated but had to bear with it. No matter what, it was not a good time to start an internal fight now.
Over the years, the eight major tribes had been getting along with each other on the surface, but they were not genuinely united. Hence, such a conflict was not surprising. However, they knew that they shouldn't be arguing now.
But the discussion gradually got heated, and they started taking jabs at each other. It was clearly not the first time that something like this had happened.
Although Tang Sen could not see what the four tribes' leaders were saying, he could see that they gradually retreated and got into a new formation.
"What are they doing?" Scarlett asked, not expecting something like this to happen.
The Saintess frowned and asked, "Could it be that they originally wanted to attack the city from all sides, but they realized that it'd be impossible? Hence, they're forcefully trying to attack now?"
Tang Sen agreed with the Saintess's opinion. "Get ready. If I'm not wrong, they should be preparing to attack the city now."
