Thus, when the situation reached that point, regardless of Zhou Tian’s original plans, there was no one who could prevent the warlock occupation from becoming the new power for the Snowman Tribe.
As a result, within less than a month, nearly thirty percent of the snowmen had become warlocks.
Everything was as Zhou Tian had imagined. No matter what the original snowman’s temperament had been, after being bullied for so many years, they suddenly had the ability to retaliate. It’s easy to understand, in that situation, how the Snowman Tribe could not resist taking revenge on the nearby living beings.
Thus, when the Snowman Tribe had a considerable number of warlocks, they immediately launched an attack on the nearby living beings.
Firstly, because the Snowman Tribe wanted revenge on those living beings, and secondly, after becoming warlocks, they needed sacrifices to increase their power. However, the problem at hand was that, aside from some with special experiences, few would be deranged enough to use living beings they knew as offerings.
Because the Snowman Tribe wasn’t large, the snowmen knew each other fairly well. In that situation, it was impossible for them to use their own tribesmen as offerings. Therefore, for both revenge and to gain offerings to increase their power, it was not surprising that the Snowman Tribe launched an offensive outward. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Given the circumstances, after attacking the nearby living beings, the Snowman Tribe indeed achieved quite an impressive result. Judging by the circumstances at that time, it appeared that as long as those snowmen exerted themselves a bit, they might be able to conquer the area in one fell swoop.
Nobody expected the Snowman Tribe to react in that way.
For a long time, not only had the Snowman Tribe become accustomed to groups of slave capturing teams occasionally breaching their tribe and taking away some of their people, but the living beings near the Snow Mountain had also become accustomed to hunting snowmen for Money now and then.
In that situation, the living beings near the Snow Mountain mostly regarded snowmen as timid and useless. Apart from being captured as slaves, snowmen had no other value.
Additionally, the reason why the Snowman Tribe hadn’t been exterminated yet was primarily due to the decisive role played by the Snow Mountain’s terrain advantage. At that time, when faced with the Snowman Tribe, most of the living beings opposing them didn’t foresee that one day the snowmen would leave the Snow Mountain to fight them outside.
Because of this, at that time, no one anticipated that those snowmen would dare attack them first, and the living beings near the Snow Mountain were certainly not well-prepared.
Consequently, one side was prepared while the other was completely unguarded. Not to mention that the Snowman Tribe had many warlocks to compensate for their weaknesses. Even with the original strength of the Snowman Tribe, in a surprise attack where the enemies were completely unprepared and unable to target the Snowman Tribe’s weaknesses, there would be no issue for the Snowman Tribe to conquer those living beings.
In that situation, since the Snowman Tribe’s action had gained such an advantage, there was naturally no problem when they decided to capture those living beings in one fell swoop.
Just one attack led to the Snowman Tribe conquering a nearby Ogre Tribe. Upon witnessing the situation at that Ogre Tribe, the snowmen naturally held animosity toward the ogres and other foreign races. Simply because of this, the number of people within the Snowman Tribe supporting the war more than doubled.
Simultaneously, after successfully capturing that Ogre Tribe, it was inevitable that those warlocks would commence the offering sacrifices.
The subsequent situation was simple. After the snowmen blood-sacrificed the ogres they killed or captured, a lot of Abyssal Creatures appeared on their side. While those Abyssal Creatures weren’t necessarily much stronger than the snowmen, with their help, the series of weaknesses originally present in the Snowman Tribe essentially disappeared.
In that situation, without the weaknesses, the Snowman Tribe was not inferior to most races in this world. Combined with the combat power of the Abyssal Creatures, it was imaginable that, other than not being able to endure hot weather and thus unable to launch a distant campaign, the Snowman Tribe could be considered a formidable race.
Thus, as the Snowman Tribe’s strength significantly increased at that time, the subsequent behavior of those snowmen never exceeded Zhou Tian’s expectations from beginning to end.
It was inevitable that those snowmen would definitely retaliate against other races.
The snowmen’s days of suffering had been long enough, and because of this, the Snowman Tribe had no affinity for the living beings of the outside world. In the past, their lack of ability made them appear docile, but now, Zhou Tian had given them the strength to retaliate. Therefore, given the mindset of those snowmen at that time, it was absolutely impossible for them not to seek revenge on the races that had harmed them.
Thus, as the situation progressed to this point, Zhou Tian’s plan could be said to have been achieved. In that circumstance, barring unexpected events, the strengthened Snowman Tribe would inevitably advance nearby, and during their march, any entity blocking their path would not be spared.
The snowmen had reasons for their actions. Not only to retaliate against other races, but after their advance, they would also find ways to rescue captured tribesmen. Regardless of their motives, the actions of the snowmen guaranteed they would encounter considerable trouble.
From the perspective of those snowmen at that time, their actions certainly had no faults. After all, the Snowman Tribe had been at a loss for so long at the hands of those living beings, and now that they possessed the power to counterattack, there was no reason for the Snowman Tribe to generously spare the enemies when they have the ability to retaliate.
So, as the Snowman Tribe held stronger power then, retaliating against those living beings who captured them was certainly a justified reaction.
However, realistically from the snowmen’s perspective, their actions were definitely without fault, but from the viewpoint of the living beings near the Snow Mountain at that time, the snowmen’s response was absolutely intolerable.
Firstly, many living beings captured snowmen. With the reputation of snowman slaves having spread, aside from races too far from the Snow Mountain that don’t bother due to the long journey, the races having grudges against snowmen actually comprised seventy to eighty percent of the living beings in the current world.
Judging by the Snowman Tribe’s current performance, although they don’t have the ability to kill eighty percent of this world’s living beings entirely, it’s imaginable that, following the snowmen’s attack near the Snow Mountain, probably none of them would survive.
Undoubtedly, such an event was unacceptable to the majority of living beings.
The Snow Mountain’s area is considerable. If they were truly allowed to act, not even mentioning how those races living near the Snow Mountain would respond, even the races unlikely to be wiped out by snowmen—if they let snowmen rampage, it’s unknown how many of their own people would perish.
