Chapter 180 Riding a Tiger and Finding It Hard: The Human Race's War Maniac!
The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan felt he was in a difficult position.
He looked at the combat specialists opposite him.
Cai Chen, who was in the lead, was calm, while the many human combat officers around him gripped their weapons very tightly. Although their faces were tense, their eyes were very focused... Their expressions showed that they were ready to fight to the death!
Damn it... Have these humans gone mad?! They were perfectly fine before! Why do they suddenly seem so desperate today?!
The Three-Eyed Clan leader cursed inwardly.
What do we do now?
Not fight? What about the dignity of the Three-Eyed Clan?
beat?
...Do you really think so many human professionals are vegetarians?
Looking at the human professionals standing guard behind them, there were at least four or five thousand of them!
There are quite a few of them, including second-order and third-order.
Even if an individual might be slightly weaker than the Tri-Eyed Clan.
But with so many people combined... even if his two thousand Divine Eye Army soldiers could win, it would inevitably be a Pyrrhic victory!
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but the key point is...
Even if we win, there's absolutely no benefit to it!
Especially...
The three-eyed tribe leader glanced at the centaur tribe with a somewhat grim expression.
Some centaur professionals were looking in this direction with curiosity.
...It's not just the Three-Eyed Clan and humans around here; there are also centaurs.
They are roughly equal in strength to the centaurs, which is why they are able to maintain the current situation.
But if they really fight humans to the death... those centaurs will be laughing in their dreams.
This has a huge impact... on exclusive dungeons, secret realm bosses, and every aspect.
...Humans make up a small percentage of the population anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
However, the Three-Eyed Clan had occupied several high-level bosses in the secret realms, which caused them a lot of disputes with the Centaur Clan. The two clans also had frequent conflicts within the secret realms, but they both maintained restraint.
But if the Three-Eyed Clan's power suddenly weakens... then there's no guarantee that the Centaurs won't have second thoughts.
Thinking of this, the three-eyed tribe leader's face grew increasingly grim...
They were held hostage.
Humans who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
On the contrary, his Three-Eyed Clan had already gained a lot, so they were even more afraid of losing it.
His expression shifted rapidly, but he was unable to utter a word.
Cai Chen kept looking at the other person, and when he saw the hesitation in his eyes, a cold smile appeared in his heart.
They're bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.
Since the other party remained silent, Cai Chen finally spoke up: "Are you going to fight or not? Say something."
The Three-Eyed Clan leader's face darkened instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "You really want to start a war with my Three-Eyed Clan?"
"To be honest... I do want to."
"What?" The Three-Eyed Clan leader could hardly believe his ears, and a look of anger immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Just telling the truth."
Cai Chen calmly said, "Over the years, you've made it a habit for you to bully my human race. You always think that we humans are weak and easy to bully, to the point of contempt and even disregard... A few Tier 1 Three-Eyed Clan members dared to shamelessly harass and play with my human women in front of a group of Tier 2 and Tier 3 human professionals. If we don't fight you now, you might really think that the current situation in Xia Kingdom was something my human race begged for on our knees."
"My human race has been holding back a lot of pent-up resentment, so whether it's you, the centaurs... or anyone else, I really wish we could fight. We could all shed blood and vent our pent-up frustrations from all these years. And you could also calm down and rethink... how you should define your relationship with my human race. Do you really have the right to be superior and trample my human race under your feet?"
Cai Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated in the ears of all the members of the Combat Division.
Their expressions stiffened for a moment, and then, a hint of anger gradually surfaced in their focused eyes...
Yes, for many years, the Three-Eyed Clan and the Centaur Clan have been high and mighty, bullying and oppressing the human race. They not only beat and scolded humans at the drop of a hat, but also wantonly insulted human women and even harmed human lives.
When did they all seem to have gotten used to it, or even become numb to it?
Why should foreign races be superior to us?
Do they regard humanity as dust?
Gradually, the grievances and humiliations they had suffered from the other races over the years began to surface in their hearts, causing the anger in their eyes to grow stronger and stronger...
As Cai Chen said.
...They were filled with resentment and frustration!
Now, that feeling of humiliation has been stirred up.
Many people's eyes turned red, and their gazes towards the Three-Eyed Clan gradually turned murderous!
The Three-Eyed Clan leader was somewhat bewildered by Cai Chen's words. When he keenly noticed the change in the eyes of the people from the War Division, he was immediately alarmed, sensing that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.
He quickly said in a deep voice, "Think carefully. Once war breaks out, the consequences will be far beyond what you can bear! Many people will die here!"
Cai Chen said calmly, "We've thought this through very clearly. But have you and your people thought it through?"
On the Three-Eyed Clan's side, many people's expressions changed, becoming solemn.
Clearly, by now they have realized the seriousness of the situation.
They arrived full of anger, wondering how to vent it.
But when they discovered that the former pushover was no longer the same, but instead bared its fangs at them...
That anger seemed to have vanished inexplicably...
"What? Have you thought it through? Or should we make the first move?"
They didn't know how to respond for a moment. Cai Chen waited a while, then squinted and asked.
The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan looked grim but remained silent.
Cai Chen nodded, and the next moment he spoke in a cold voice: "Mage group, prepare."
Immediately, the mage squad behind the human professionals sprang into action, beams of skill light appearing on their bodies.
Their eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent and fighting spirit.
"Wait a moment!!!"
Seeing that the humans were actually about to start a fight at the slightest disagreement, the leader of the Three-Eyed Clan was shocked and immediately shouted to stop them.
Cai Chen looked at him and calmly asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"You're going to start a war over such a trivial matter? Have you all gone mad?!" The Three-Eyed Clan leader was furious, feeling that the new director of the War Department was simply insane.
"A small matter? What, you brought two or three thousand people here just to have fun?" Cai Chen asked with a sneer.
"...We're just passing through, heading to the Thousand Gorges Corridor. Who said we're here to fight you?!"
The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan immediately found an excuse.
"Oh? Isn't it to seek justice for those three-eyed tribesmen?" Cai Chen asked, squinting.
"...It was just a side trip."
"That's right. I killed the man. What kind of explanation do you want?"
"...You kill my people with impunity and you're still so arrogant?" The Three-Eyed Clan leader was so angry he almost laughed.
"Yes, that's how arrogant they are. The negotiations have fallen apart, haven't they? Mage group, heed my orders..."
"Wait a moment!!"
The Three-Eyed Clan leader was practically grinding his teeth to powder. He increasingly felt that... the new director of the Combat Division opposite him was a complete war maniac!
Cai Chen had already raised his hand, looking calmly at the Three-Eyed Clan leader.
The Three-Eyed Clan leader gritted his teeth for a long time before finally saying, "Is it true that those people first harassed your female human professionals? And then threatened to start a war? That's why you killed them?"
“It’s fake. So what?” Cai Chen asked without blinking.
Fake, fake?
Cai Chen's answer completely baffled the leader of the Three-Eyed Clan.
I'll grind my teeth to pieces!
"Don't joke about war; it's not funny. If war really breaks out, my Three-Eyed Clan isn't afraid of you!"
He said through gritted teeth.
"I've been talking for so long, didn't you listen?" Cai Chen asked him, squinting.
When the Three-Eyed Clan leader saw Cai Chen's expression, he realized with shock... that this madman was actually telling the truth!
...He really wanted to go to war with them.
Let everyone... see blood!
"I believe you!"
Seeing the other person's disappointed expression, he was about to lower his raised hand.
The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan immediately shouted.
Then, with a grim expression, he said, "Since they were in the wrong first and even mentioned starting a war, then... they truly deserve to die."
The strong were coerced by the weak.
When the Three-Eyed Clan leader said those words, he was furious.
But there's nothing I can do.
...He did not have the determination to wage a complete war against these humans.
The Three-Eyed Clan leader's obvious words of submission stunned Cai Chen for a moment, and then he frowned.
The Three-Eyed Clan leader was startled by his expression and immediately said in a deep voice, "I have already expressed my agreement with your handling of the matter. Are you still going to continue to be so unreasonable?"
After a moment of silence, Cai Chen gently waved his hand.
The mages who had been watching his movements gradually dimmed the light emanating from their hands.
After thinking for a moment, Cai Chen said, "Since you believe me, there's nothing more to say. Let's let this matter rest."
"...It's over."
The Three-Eyed Clan leader gritted his teeth, but still managed to speak.
Cai Chen nodded, then calmly said, "I don't want to hear about my human race being wantonly bullied by your Three-Eyed Clan again... Can you do that?"
The Three-Eyed Clan leader's face turned ashen: "...I will inform my clansmen to exercise restraint. But...the prerequisite is that your clansmen must not provoke my clansmen either."
“When has our human race ever started trouble if your three-eyed race doesn’t bother us?” Cai Chen asked.
The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan was speechless...
Because that is indeed the case.
The conflicts between the two tribes are often instigated by them.
After a pause, Cai Chen looked at the centaurs watching the commotion in the distance, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Centaurs, has anyone you can speak up for arrived yet?"
Clearly surprised that Cai Chen would suddenly speak to them, the centaurs who had been watching the spectacle exchanged bewildered glances, many of them frowning and appearing somewhat displeased…
I think Cai Chen is a bit too arrogant.
Why are you dragging my centaur clan into your business with the Three-Eyed Clan?
"If you want to fight, then fight. What does it have to do with us?"
A centaur frowned and spoke.
Cai Chen calmly said, "Now that we have reached a friendly agreement with the Three-Eyed Clan, we will stop fighting. There's no better time than today. Since my human race and the Three-Eyed Clan have had a good talk, I also plan to have a chat with your centaur race... Who can go and invite someone from your clan to come over? So that we won't have to go through all this trouble again if your centaurs bully my race again."
The centaurs looked at each other in bewilderment once again.
But this time, no one spoke.
The three-eyed tribe leader standing nearby had his face twitching violently...
It's confirmed.
This new director of the Combat Department is absolutely insane!
They just provoked them here, and now they're going to cause trouble for the centaurs?
He has no choice but to fight this battle today, right?
However, despite his thoughts, he was also happy to see humans and centaurs clash. So he narrowed his eyes, remained silent, and observed the situation.
After a long silence from the centaur side, a voice rang out: "Aren't you humans being a bit too arrogant? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the strongest of the three races. The weak should at least have some self-awareness."
As they were talking, a centaur team awoke from behind their ranks. The centaur in the lead looked down at Cai Chen and the other human professionals with a cold expression.
