"You two bastards, if you don't take action now, I'll be exhausted to death." Ma Yue released a spiritual fire for the last time, but his internal strength could not keep up. The speed and power were much smaller, and it was blocked by the big wooden shield. He missed the opportunity to kill the opponent's mid-grade god.
After releasing so much high-intensity spiritual fire, Ma Yue was indeed in great pain and almost collapsed.
"The charlatan is really amazing. He made the old priest panic." In the battle of divine power, even a fool could see that Ma Yue had a huge advantage. It was estimated that if a few more spiritual fires were exchanged, the old diviner would have no chance to resist.
It is obvious that Ma Yue has a huge advantage in the rhythm and speed of releasing divine power.
Their mortal eyes couldn't see that Ma Yue was already at the end of his strength. Fortunately, Shuichong was clever enough to launch a flying stone in time, and the timing was perfect to hit the mid-level divine master. Otherwise, Ma Yue would have turned and fled.
If you can't win, why not run? Losing is better than losing your life, right?
If Ma Yue lost, the Haifan tribe would be unable to defend their base. With low morale and a numerical disadvantage... the result would be catastrophic. This shows the immense significance of Shuichong's flying stone strike.
Ma Yue knew that he had taken advantage of the first move and the spiritual weapon. However, this was war, and the result was what mattered. As long as they won, morale was paramount.
"Long live the charlatan!" Xia Wu, the most trusted confidant and lackey, shouted slogans, and in an instant, the Haifan tribe was filled with cheers.
Our own charlatan is very powerful and can almost repel the enemy by himself. Following such a charlatan, we feel more secure.
It should have been a brutal offensive and defensive battle, but due to the powerful clash between Ma Yue and Lei Feng, the casualties were minimal and it ended abruptly. The coalition forces retreated, and the Haifan tribe, with its limited manpower, did not pursue.
Although the troops were depleted, at least the tribe's base was secured, and Ma Yue felt relieved. He instructed Hai Dao to continue sending out cavalry scouts to gather information and not to relax.
Afterwards, Ma Yue returned to his one-room cabin. He felt incredibly exhausted and uncomfortable, and needed to recover his internal energy as quickly as possible.
The defeat of the divine masters in the battle of divine powers was a huge blow to morale. The coalition army returned from a long and arduous expedition, demoralized. Worst of all, the Thunder God Tribe suffered the most. The battle injured a newly emerged powerful Celestial Master and a High Priest, both of whom were carried along in the ranks.
The people in this area are superstitious about gods and miracles. If the gods lose, what will happen to their faith? This is the most terrifying thing. Everyone came to your Thunder God Tribe, hoping to be protected by your powerful gods. Now, you are no longer able to do it...
The Thunder God Tribe, carrying two severely wounded divine beings, was slow to advance, their morale low. The Ice Eye Tribe had no patience. Ice Blade, the Ice Eye Tribe's chief, said a brief farewell and hurried off with his men.
After walking for more than ten days, I finally returned to Thunder God City...
"How could this happen?" The great leader Lei Bao looked at the ruined Thunder God City. There were still many corpses, and even... the new second leader Lei Luo was dead.
"High Priest, we have nothing left, what should we do?" Lei Bao was a little distraught.
"Lei Qing!" Lei Ting looked at the gate that was burnt by lightning. Apart from himself and the old Taoist priest, who else could it be except Lei Qing who defected to the Haifan tribe?
There was also a burnt smell on the body of the new second leader Lei Luo, and it was obvious that he was also killed by Lei Qing's lightning power.
Obviously, they had been tricked by the Haifan tribe again. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack the Haifan tribe, but the Haifan tribe took advantage of their trick and waited for their army to leave. They did not go to the Great Forest to trade, but instead attacked their home base.
The Thunder God Tribe still has thousands of able-bodied men, but they can't all be stationed in Thunder God City, right? There are still two large branches.
Coupled with Lei Qing's divine power display, it seems possible that they could not withstand the attack of 1,500 soldiers of the Haifan tribe. This is what Lei Ting thought.
In fact, Ma Yue had no such plan at all. It was just a sudden idea of Lei Qing's when he was halfway there.
In theory, the trade team should obey the Second Priest, the interim director of the Trade Bureau. However, now it has become a matter of war. The charlatan hasn't explained.
In the end, Lei Qing's identity as the charlatan's wife gave him the upper hand. Moreover, Lei Qing had supernatural powers, and in this world, the strong were respected.
"Then...what if the Thunder God Tribe doesn't send troops to attack our tribal headquarters?" asked the second priest.
"Then we can just go back and trade. It's just a matter of walking a little further. As for trade, it will only take ten days or half a month. What's the big deal?" What Lei Qing said seemed to make sense.
"Then beat him. Why should he trade our good things when he can just rob them?" White Eagle's body is also full of violent genes, which is in line with the thinking and temperament of primitive people.
"Second Priest, don't worry. I will personally lead the troops to wipe out the enemy's reconnaissance deer cavalry and ensure that our large group of troops will not be discovered by the enemy." Lei Qing is the leader after all.
So, the trading team of the Thunder God Tribe was divided into a large team and a small team and began to turn back.
Lei Qing was a cultivator after all, so he personally led a team to wipe out all the deer cavalry he might encounter, regardless of which tribe they were from. Because the deer cavalry team Lei Qing led was small, it was impossible to determine whether the main force of the Haifan tribe had returned.
The raid plan went relatively smoothly.
In order to rush into Leishen City as successfully as possible, this time, Lei Qing, who proposed this plan, personally took the lead. Fortunately, he blasted open the gate of Leishen City with a strike of divine lightning.
Now, Lei Qing is a loyal believer of the Sea God. It was the Sea God who gave him a new life. As for the former Thunder God tribe, why should he be polite to him?
The ferocious Lei Qing rushed into Thunder God City, killing Lei Luo with a single blow. The so-called resistance wasn't very fierce. The people of this area feared the gods, the "god-level." Without their own high priest, and with their second-in-command dead, there was no point in putting up a fight.
"What should we do with these people?"
"We still don't have enough troops. Should we take the able-bodied men back with us?" asked the second priest.
"That makes sense!" Lei Qing nodded.
So, they robbed the remaining thousand or so deer in Thunder God City, as well as the harvested sweet potatoes and sheep...
On the way back, Lei Qing decided to take another route to avoid running into the returning Thunder God tribe army because he was too much of a burden. Whether it could be considered a route or not, who knows, but Lei Qing had walked it, so he remembered it.
"The great chief is really smart, haha!" The second priest was happy to get it for free. It was not easy for the Haifan tribe to boil salt and grow potatoes.
"This immortal cultivator is really powerful." Bai Ying praised Lei Qing's fighting ability. Is a woman like this worthy of being a charlatan?
"With the charlatan here, they shouldn't be able to defeat our tribe." Lei Qing has gradually received news that the Thunder God Tribe and the Ice Eye Tribe have joined forces to send out troops with two thousand able-bodied men.
"It shouldn't be. The level of cultivation of the charlatan should be higher. The fireball can fly dozens of meters. Even if the opponent's high priest went there, didn't you say that Lei Ting's level is about the same as yours?" The second priest is Ma Yue's most capable assistant. Ma Yue will not hide anything from the second priest.
"The level of cultivation of the charlatan is indeed very high, but I always feel that the Thunder God Tribe was hiding something." Lei Qing couldn't explain it clearly. She felt that there was a strong sense of crisis in the Thunder God Tribe.
