Xia Tianqiong smiled smugly, "This second fire forced the three elders to wage war against the Void Ghost Clan, and it was a fight to the death between the two clans. My goal has been achieved."
"If they still refuse to go to war, do you have a third option?"
"Of course I do, but I don't need it now. But maybe I can use it next time."
...
Another day has passed.
Xia Tianqiong was invited to the palace again.
This time, in addition to the original three elders, there were two more people on the seats above the palace.
Moreover, his eyes looked cloudy, his skin was rough, and he exuded a sense of weariness.
Xia Tianqiong looked at them, and they were also sizing her up.
Xia Tianqiong saw the hidden greed and desire in their eyes, like wild beasts seeing their prey.
These guys clearly have ulterior motives; they're all waiting to finish off the Voidlings and then discard them after they've served their purpose.
Xia Tianqiong chuckled inwardly, thinking that it was hard to say who would be the real donkey then!
"Young friend Xia, let me introduce you."
The elder of the Yinshan tribe began to introduce them to him one by one, "These two are the elders of the Huai tribe and the elder of the Leimu tribe."
Xia Tianqiong said calmly, "Greetings, elders. Did you summon me here to begin a fight?"
The Silver Fir Clan elder nodded solemnly. "After discussion among the five of us elders, we have decided to wage war against the Void Ghost Clan, and we will depart in five days."
Xia Tianqiong frowned. "Why five days later?"
“I have also contacted other Tree Ghost Clan settlements. In five days, three Ghost Generals will arrive here with more than two thousand Tree Ghosts. At that time, we will launch an attack on the Void Ghost Clan together.”
The entire Ghost Realm Tree Ghost Clan currently has twelve Ghost Generals, with only five gathered here and the other seven scattered in other gathering places.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan contacted seven other people, but only three agreed to bring troops to help.
Xia Tianqiong thought carefully before speaking: "You have eight ghost generals, and I have two. Together we have four more than the Void Ghost Clan, so we have an absolute advantage."
However, this is on the premise that the Void Clan did not seek outside help. It should be noted that there are also some small Void Clan settlements in other places, and a few scattered Void generals.
If they bring in other cunning generals in the next few days, then our advantage will be gone.
All the elders present fell silent; they had forgotten about this incident.
The Silver Fir elder looked worried. "If we set off now, we should be able to attack the Void Clan before they can find reinforcements. But in that case, our reinforcements won't be able to get here in time."
With our current strength, we don't have much of an advantage and cannot wipe out the Void Clan; in fact, our casualties will be extremely heavy.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly asked, "If the outside help you invited were to go directly to the Void Ghost Clan, how many days would it take?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Silver Fir Elder slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair. “That’s right, how come I didn’t think of that? They each traveled from their respective settlements to the Void Clan, the shortest journey taking only three days and the longest only five days.”
"Then let's set off tomorrow, choose a place half a day's journey away from the Void Clan's encampment, gather there, and then set off together."
"Wonderful! The human brain is indeed very clever!"
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan couldn't help but praise it.
...
After Xia Tianqiong left the main hall, the entire Tree Demon Clan sprang into action, preparing for their departure the next day.
The Tree Spirits are quite unique; not every Tree Spirit possesses trickery suitable for combat.
Some tree spirits don't even know any tricks; they only know how to bloom and bear fruit.
Therefore, you need to screen them before you set off.
According to the elders' requirements, the Tree Demons who can participate in the battle must meet two conditions.
First, one must be at least at the level of Evil Trickster, and second, possess at least one offensive trick or a trick that can assist in attack.
We're leaving tomorrow, so we have to complete the registration and screening process today.
Time was tight, and there were a lot of people signing up, some of whom clearly did not meet the requirements but still insisted on signing up.
It's like a bunch of hot-blooded teenagers who haven't even grown their hair yet, insisting on going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve their country, but in reality, they can only go to their deaths.
The clan elders naturally wouldn't send anyone to die on the battlefield, so the selection process for applicants was extremely rigorous.
This resulted in chaos and constant arguments at the registration locations.
Xia Tianqiong ignored all of this and continued to wander around like a tourist.
They even went to street markets to buy things.
There were very few tree spirits to set up a stall today; most of them had signed up, leaving only a dozen or so stalls on site.
Xia Tianqiong wasn't really there to buy anything; she was there to meet up with Lao Liu.
The plan is complete; Lao Liu can log off now.
While waiting for Lao Liu to arrive, he wandered around the various stalls, chatting with people even if he wasn't interested, and then buying some things.
As it turned out, he actually discovered something good, and something he really needed.
