Chapter 586: Devouring Wolves and Driving Away Tigers
Silver Moon City.
On the silver-white tower, all the high-ranking members of the Silver Moon Clan stood in a circle.
Among them were some old Silver Moon Clan elders who were already very old and had already withdrawn from the power structure of the Silver Moon Clan.
Such a situation was extremely rare in the Silver Moon Clan, at least it had never happened since they entered the human world.
In front of them was a long silver-white table, on which were placed the incomplete mechanical puppets of the Silver Snake Empire brought by Star City, as well as some photos taken by many Star City warriors in the mysterious unknown field.
The current Silver Moon Clan leader Yin Gui and the former Silver Moon Clan leader Yin Tuo stood side by side, scanning the items on the long table, and then turned their eyes to the elders of the clan.
"No mistake, the Silver Snake Empire is the ancestor of our Silver Moon Clan."
The former elder of the Elders' Council, who had been studying for several days, spoke in a trembling tone.
Hearing these words, even though they were mentally prepared, the high-ranking members of the Silver Moon Clan could not help but clench their fists in excitement.
According to historical records, the Silver Snake Clan had a lost history in its wandering life.
The Silver Moon Tribe had also traced back to this missing blank.
But that period of history was long ago, and they had no clues about where the tribe was before the Silver Moon Tribe wandered, and they could not find any information about the lost history.
As history changed, this matter was gradually abandoned by the descendants of the Silver Moon Tribe.
But just a few days ago, the blank area covered by the fog of history suddenly appeared in front of them.
The murals in the mysterious unknown field and the incomplete puppet props.
All of this confirmed that the missing history of the Silver Moon Tribe was the Silver Snake Empire depicted in the murals.
And their Silver Moon Tribe is the descendant of the Silver Snake Empire.
The incomplete technology they mastered was also born from the Silver Snake Empire.
This history made him feel unbelievable, but he couldn't help but be excited.
History is a tonic for a race to enhance cohesion.
Looking through the history of each race, you can find a conclusion that the manifestation of racial cohesion is mainly reflected in three aspects.
First, have a common historical past and recognize the same homeland.
Second, have the same religion or heroic beliefs.
Third, have the same ancestors and a blood culture that has been passed down from one line.
...
Seeking ancestors is a goal that many races and forces that want to climb to the top will have.
For example, the Mist Tribe of the Alliance Clan is very proud of the large territory that their ancestors once conquered. Therefore, the Mist Tribe, from the clan leader to the clan members, has a strong sense of identification with their ancestors, and has derived the Mist Clan's unique ancestor worship activities, which have strong cohesion.
Another example is the human race of the Alliance Clan, which is the same situation.
In the domain world, there are even many forces that will pretend that their lineage is the descendant of a once powerful clan.
Then they will promote it internally and externally.
They use the method of plundering the history of other clans to increase the self-confidence of their own race, thereby enhancing the cohesion of the race.
The emergence of the Silver Snake Empire has filled the missing history of the Silver Moon Clan. More importantly, this history is not pieced together by the history of other races, but a real record.
Seeing the vast territory of the Silver Snake Empire on the mural, racial identity and pride filled the hearts of the Silver Snake Clan's high-level officials.
Although they were not born in that brilliant and prosperous ancient era.
But their souls have a strong resonance at this moment.
The murals and incomplete relic machines left by the Silver Snake Empire also made the Silver Moon Clan realize one thing, that the wealth left by the Silver Snake Empire is waiting for them to inherit.
This legacy is of great significance to the Silver Moon Clan.
Various incomplete relic materials can allow the Silver Moon Clan to develop rapidly based on the wisdom of their ancestors.
Even many powerful prehistoric machines can be used after being repaired, which will greatly enhance the increase in the technology and combat power of the Silver Moon Clan.
More importantly, it is the ultimate war weapon.
The afterglow of the Silver Snake Empire.
This powerful killing machine, which was built with all the resources of the Silver Snake Empire and was born for war, is equivalent to owning a huge territory and resource land.
Unlike the development of the human race, there are many challenges to face, among which one's own talent is a major factor limiting development.
They, the Silver Moon Clan, have a comprehensive strength that surpasses the human race, but are still stuck in the problem of resource scarcity.
This is related to the conversion efficiency of racial resources.
Just like a strong race, the same resources can be converted into strength more effectively than a weak race.
Therefore, obtaining resources is still the first goal of the Silver Moon Clan's development.
At this moment, a great opportunity was in front of them, and they realized that the time for the Silver Moon Clan to rise had come.
However, the newly descended domain field was within the territory of the human race. If they wanted to investigate and obtain the information and silver snake relics in this domain field, they obviously had to get the consent of the human race.
Now the envoy has rushed to Star City and contacted the human race.
They believe that with the relationship between the Silver Moon Clan and the human race, the human race will definitely agree to the joint investigation proposed by the Silver Moon Clan.
After all, they are allies, and the development of the Silver Moon Clan can also bring various benefits to the human race.
But just as everyone was looking forward to it, the lines on the forehead of the Silver Moon Clan leader flashed.
The Silver Moon Clan leader immediately reached out and wiped his forehead, and the voice of the envoy sounded.
"Clan leader, the latest news from the human race is that the newly descended unknown domain field seems to have made the Split Sky Domain Field feel threatened because it is connected to the Split Sky Domain Field. Just now, the Split Sky Domain Field suddenly expanded and swallowed the unknown domain field. Now that domain field has been controlled by the Split Sky Clan."
Hearing this, the faces of the Silver Moon Clan leaders present suddenly changed.
I thought the Silver Moon Clan was about to have an unprecedented opportunity for development and obtain a pass to become a powerful clan, but the beautiful vision for the future has not yet begun.
How could the Silver Moon Clan not know about the Sky-Splitting Field and the Sky-Splitting God Clan?
This force is very powerful. According to the relevant information provided by the human race, it seems to be coming from the direction of Winter City.
At this stage, it is the strongest force in the vicinity.
But this force seemed to have experienced a war and was in the recuperation stage, and did not show any aggressive intentions to the surrounding forces.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Sky-Splitting God Clan suddenly took action.
But after thinking carefully about the reasons, they could figure out the reason for the sudden change.
First of all, the location where the unknown mysterious field suddenly descended was in the area where the Sky-Splitting God Clan and the human race were connected. In addition to alarming the human race to send forces into the field to investigate, the Sky-Splitting God Clan may have also felt threatened and frightened, so it suddenly expanded.
This matter gave the Silver Moon Clan a headache.
They immediately launched a heated discussion on this matter.
During the discussion, they felt that there might be another reason for the sudden expansion of the Sky-Splitting Field. It might be that the Sky-Splitting God Clan discovered that there were treasures in this mysterious field and wanted to take it for themselves.
This made the Silver Moon Clan leaders instantly anxious.
This feeling was like suddenly learning one day that they had inherited a legacy from their ancestors, worth trillions.
As a result, the next day they learned that the legacy was claimed by someone else.
The feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant made the Silver Moon Clan leaders completely angry, and they would never allow this to happen.
At the end of the Silver Moon High-level Meeting, the current Silver Moon Tribe elder looked around at everyone present, and then said in a deep voice:
"The wealth of our ancestors cannot fall into the hands of other tribes. Even if the Sky-Splitting Tribe obtains the ancestral legacy, it cannot control it. I propose that the Silver Moon Tribe declare war on the Sky-Splitting Tribe and take back the ancestral legacy."
The words of the Silver Moon Tribe elder were undoubtedly the inner thoughts of everyone present.
But how to fight this war is a problem.
According to the existing intelligence, the Silver Moon Tribe has no chance of defeating the Sky-Splitting Tribe, and they can only seek support from the human race and the Mist Tribe.
But the cost of a full-scale war is huge, requiring a lot of resources and warriors.
If you want the human race and the Mist Tribe to join the war, you have to give enough benefits.
It's easy for the human race to say, after all, the Sky-Splitting Tribe has invaded the human race's territory and is lying in the direction of the human race to the north, which has a substantial impact on the development of the human race, so as long as the conditions are negotiated, the human race will definitely be willing to join the war.
It's hard to say about the Mist Tribe.
Although the Silver Moon Clan is an ally of the Mist Clan, the basis of the alliance with the Mist Clan is on the human side. The Silver Moon Clan has not even established contact with the Mist Clan, nor has it sent envoys to the Mist Clan.
In order to get the Mist Clan to join the war, the human race has to persuade them, and at the same time, they have to give the Mist Clan enough benefits.
The idea of going to war with the Sky-Splitting Clan is clear, but there are still many problems to be solved on how to fight this war.
After the internal meeting, the Silver Moon Clan elders and the patriarch rushed to Star City immediately.
They felt that the war against the Sky-Splitting Clan could not be delayed for long, and they must integrate all the forces that can be united as soon as possible to take back the legacy of the Silver Snake Empire as soon as possible.
At noon the next day.
Ji He convened the Star City Supreme Council.
In addition to all the high-level officials of Star City, the patriarch and the elders of the Silver Moon Clan were also present in the council hall this time.
After the meeting began, the Silver Moon Clan leader told his ideas to the high-level officials of Star City.
Many of the senior officials present had already known that the Silver Moon Clan would arrive, and had even guessed what the Silver Moon Clan leader would say in advance. However, after hearing that they were going to go to war with the Sky-Splitting Clan, they all showed difficulty and expressed to the Silver Moon Clan their desire not to go to war with the Sky-Splitting Clan with excellent acting skills.
The Silver Moon Clan leader, who saw this scene, immediately began to make a promise.
In front of all the Star City senior officials, the Silver Moon Clan leader said:
"My fellow allied clan friends, the mysterious field that suddenly descended contains the lost history and technology of our clan, which is of great significance to our Silver Moon Clan. I hereby assure you that if we win this battle, the miraculous divine objects on the Sky-Splitting Lord will belong to the human race, and when the Sky-Splitting Clan's inventory resources are distributed after the victory of this battle, our Silver Moon Clan will not take a single cent, but only the ancestral heritage taken away by the Sky-Splitting Clan."
"As for the specific distribution of benefits, it is up to you humans to decide... But I hope that the human race can invite the Mist Clan to support this battle, which will help us win as soon as possible."
After hearing this, all the Star City senior officials were silent.
Long before the meeting, they thought that the Silver Moon Clan would promise various benefits.
But they didn't expect that the Silver Moon Clan would be willing to take nothing and fight against the Sky-Splitting Clan as the main force.
The development of the situation was beyond their expectations.
At this moment, everyone present cast their eyes on Ji He who was sitting in the main seat.
Although it was the Supreme Council of Star City, it existed in name only. The development of Star City was completely decided by Ji He alone. Their role was more like Ji He's subordinate staff, responsible for implementing Ji He's ideas.
At this time, Chief Silver Moon also looked at Ji He with gray hair on his temples:
"Ji He, what do you think?"
Ji He did not answer directly. After a long silence, he looked at Chief Silver Moon and said:
"I can understand your eagerness, but all-out war is no joke. We must help with this matter, not to mention that the Sky-Splitting God Clan is entrenched in the north and has affected the development of the human race. This war will be fought sooner or later... but before the war, I think we should recruit allies as much as possible to increase the chances of winning this battle."
"So, I will go to the Mist Clan tomorrow and try my best to get their support for this battle, and then go to Winter City, I am sure I can get a group of combat support... Finally, I will go to the Central District, but I am not sure if I can get the human race in the Central District to support this battle."
Hearing this, Chief Silver Moon showed joy on his face and immediately thanked him repeatedly.
It can be seen that the human race is reluctant to suddenly go to war with the Sky-Splitting God Clan, but it is obvious that they have abided by the original alliance treaty and are willing to fight for the allies.
This moved many of the Silver Moon Clan leaders present.
Ji He's answer undoubtedly brought the human race and the Silver Moon Clan closer together.
But then, Ji He's words moved the Silver Moon Clan present even more.
"If the Mist Clan, Winter City, and Elf City are willing to participate in this war, our human race, as the main force, will only take 50% of the resources produced by the Sky-Splitting Domain, and the remaining 50% will be distributed to them. This is also my sincerity in the subsequent negotiations."
"The history of the Silver Moon Clan will surely record the kindness of the human race to our clan, and our friendship will never be erased." The great elder of the Silver Moon Clan said excitedly at this time.
Ji He smiled and nodded:
"This battle is not only for you, but also for the future of our human race."
"We will go back and prepare for war. The next call for help will be left to you all."
...
After the Silver Moon Tribe left, Ji He stood up, glanced at everyone present, and then said softly:
"Prepare for war."
After the voice fell, Ji He turned and left.
In the next few days, he decided to go to the Mist Tribe, Winter City, and then the Central District in turn.
The three parties had actually agreed to participate in the war, but he did this to show it to the Silver Moon Tribe.
After all, there are many Silver Moon members active in Star City. In addition to the envoys, there are also a large number of Silver Moon technicians working in every corner of Star City.
It never hurts to be cautious.
In the next few days, Ji He began to get busy. He
went to the Mist Tribe first, shared intelligence with the elders of the Mist Tribe, and offered a 25% profit condition.
Ji He knew in his heart that even if he didn't give any benefits, the Mist Tribe would still participate in the war.
But doing so would consume the feelings between Feng Qi and the Lord of the Mist, and the cooperation could not last long after all.
The Mist Clan not only kept the secret but was also willing to join the war, so it was completely reasonable for them to give 25% of the benefits. He decided to allocate 15% of the remaining 25% to Winter City. After all, Winter City has not yet merged with Star City and needs to develop resources, so the benefits should not be reduced. The
remaining 10% will be allocated to Elf City according to the previous agreement with the Elf King.
Ji He was also a little surprised by the benefits given by the Silver Moon Clan this time. It can be seen that the legacy of the Silver Snake Empire is far more attractive to the Silver Moon Clan than imagined.
But even if the Silver Moon Clan wins, it will be disappointed.
He ordered the military to put the legacy of the Silver Snake Empire in the field that was swallowed by the Sky-Splitting Field. After the victory, it will fall into the hands of the Silver Moon Clan, but it will lack the ultimate war weapon that the Silver Moon Clan desires most.
If this thing falls into the hands of the Silver Moon Clan, the rise of the Silver Moon Clan will be unstoppable.
The current Silver Moon Clan is reliable, but Ji He cannot guarantee that the future Silver Moon Clan will be as reliable as it is now. When the position of the patriarch is replaced next time, will there be a guy like Yin Tong?
In order to ensure the future development of the human race, he must eliminate potential risks.
Before actively provoking the Sky-Splitting God Clan, he ordered the military and the expeditionary group to return the ultimate weapon they brought to the ruins of the Silver Snake Empire.
Regardless of whether they win or lose this battle, the Silver Moon Clan will not be able to obtain the ancestral relics they dream of.
As for why the ultimate war weapon is not stored in Star City, it is for safety reasons.
After the victory of this battle, most of the information of the Silver Snake Empire will be taken over by the Silver Moon Clan, and they may obtain some methods to track the signal of the ultimate war weapon. If the ultimate weapon is found to be sealed somewhere in Star City, the relationship between Star City and the Silver Moon Clan will deteriorate rapidly.
Sealing it in the ruins of the Silver Snake Empire is the safest option in Ji He's opinion.
As for whether this ultimate war weapon should be handed over to the Silver Moon Clan, he will give the decision to the future human high-level officials, and they will decide based on the future situation and the relationship with the Silver Moon Clan.
