Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556 Cooperation
"In the long run, the chief’s decision isn’t wrong!" Ye Liuyun remarked. "I suspect he might have planned this all along, and it just happened to coincide with the current situation."
Outside, Ye Liuyun and the others were comforting Arya.
"I understand. The chief explained the reasoning to me. I just can’t bear to leave this place!" Arya told everyone. "And I’m worried that the Southern Empire won’t let us go!"
"Before we leave, we can help you eliminate this army of a hundred thousand. It depends on your decision!" Ye Liuyun said to Arya.
Arya was uncertain about what to do and could only wait for the chief’s decision.
"I don’t know the chief’s stance now. Let’s see the outcome of their discussion!"
What they didn’t know was that inside the chief’s room, the elders were already considering who would take over the chief’s position.
"The Southern Empire will undoubtedly not let us go easily. So, I plan to sacrifice myself to protect the tribe. When the time comes to pay the price, I will step forward. So, you need to choose a new chief who can lead everyone to survive," the chief said to the many elders.
This was their main topic of discussion. As for choosing who would leave with Arya, it was relatively straightforward.
They selected nearly three thousand young elites from various aspects of the tribe and arranged for a few elders to protect them.
Since Ye Liuyun could take as many people as needed, they decided to arrange more to ensure the new tribe wouldn’t be too small, making it challenging for Arya to develop in the new location.
Arya was designated as the first chief of this tribe, and no one opposed it.
Now, the focus was on how to deal with the Southern Empire’s retaliation.
"I’ll accompany you! Your weight alone might not be enough! I should contribute something to the tribe!" the First Elder spoke up, ready to sacrifice for the people.
Later, they selected a new chief. If the old chief perished, the new chief would take over.
The withdrawing Luo Qianmo, surprisingly, was defeated in the first battle by the natives of a small tribe, causing frustration.
But his grand marshal suggested, "My lord, these Spell Clan people gathering together makes their spell power even stronger. How many resources could such a small tribe have? Even if we wipe them all out, it won’t be enough to compensate for our losses!"
"Let’s change our strategy. Instead of attacking, let’s encircle them. They will eventually need to go out hunting, and then we can eliminate them one by one! The empire hasn’t set a time limit for us anyway." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Yeah!" Luo Qianmo thought about it and agreed with the grand marshal’s suggestion.
His participation in the war was entirely for the rewards from the Royal Management. Wars driven by self-interest, once there was no profit, couldn’t continue.
After all, these were his soldiers. If the losses were too great, he would end up losing in this battle.
As a result, Luo Qianmo’s army changed its strategy, surrounding but not attacking, preparing to trap the Spell Clan.
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense detected the change in the enemy’s formation and understood their intentions.
"This works too! It will buy more time and dampen the Southern Empire’s morale!" he thought to himself.
Before long, the Spell Clan’s meeting also concluded, and the chief announced the various resolutions to the entire tribe.
The young people preparing to leave were bidding farewell to their families.
The chief and elders were busy preparing supplies for those leaving, arranging for people to cut the spiritual stone platform.
The whole Spell Clan became busy.
Upon receiving information outside, Luo Qianmo analyzed the situation with his grand marshal. "Are these people planning to escape?"
"Judging by their actions, it seems like they’re preparing to withdraw!" The grand marshal reported.
"Spread the order. Don’t tighten the encirclement too much. Let them come out first, then we can chase them down!" Luo Qianmo ordered.
Ye Liuyun and the others also found the chief to inquire about his plans regarding the large army outside.
"We plan to confront them first, let the empire see our strength, and then negotiate with them! What do you think?" The chief asked.
"I also think that if we don’t hurt them, they won’t take us seriously! This way, we’ll get their attention," Meng Changxing suggested.
He wasn’t deliberately provoking a war but judging based on his understanding of the empire.
Guo Da also agreed with Meng Changxing’s suggestion.
Ye Liuyun remained silent, only reminding the chief, "While this approach can attract the Southern Empire’s attention, it will also deepen the hatred between both sides. There are pros and cons. I’m not familiar with the empire’s mindset, so I can’t say which method is better."
His current task was to assist the Spell Clan. Since they had their own ideas, and these ideas weren’t fundamentally problematic, he would cooperate.
Ultimately, the chief decided to first eliminate the army.
t was only at this point that Ye Liuyun actively took on the task.
"Since the chief has decided, let us handle the main attack. It also prevents heavy casualties among the Spell Clan!"
The Spell Clan could defend using the spiritual stone platform without casualties, but once they left the settlement, their defensive capabilities would significantly decrease.
"Just you few?" The chief was somewhat concerned.
"Chief, rest assured. They are quite formidable!" Arya didn’t reveal various strengths of Ye Liuyun but reassured the chief.
The chief trusted Arya very much.
"All right then! Once everything is ready, let’s strike! After this battle, you can leave immediately!" The chief decided.
So, everyone went back to rest and prepare. Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to monitor the movements of the external army.
Three days later, three thousand Spell Clan members gathered on the square, carrying supplies and half a spiritual stone platform.
Ye Liuyun had created a separate area for them inside the Spatial World, where they could temporarily rest. The exact appearance of his Spatial World couldn’t be seen here, and Ye Liuyun wasn’t worried about exposing any information.
The chief, Arya, Meng Changxing, and others only realized at this moment that Ye Liuyun intended to take all these people into the Spatial World.
Ye Liuyun instructed everyone to relax and not resist. Then he collected them all into the Spatial World.
Watching the now empty square, after a moment of shock, Meng Changxing spoke first, "It’s our failure in mindset! His Spatial World is huge. Why wouldn’t it be able to hold people!"
"Looks like I need to properly expand my Spatial World in the future!" Guo Da sighed.
The Spell Clan, less familiar with Spatial Forces, were all so astonished that they couldn’t speak.
After a while, the chief asked Ye Liuyun, "What if something unexpected happens to you? What will happen to this Spatial World?"
"It will collapse! They will all die!" Ye Liuyun didn’t deceive him.
But the Spell Clan turned pale after hearing this.
"Then, are you still going to join the battle?" The chief began to worry.
