Chapter 69 The Chess Player Hidden Behind the Scenes (34) (First Order)



A group of forest spirits were running wildly in the mountains, led by Igonini.

He is not only the captain of this scout team, but also the son of the forest of the Ego tribe, with the most orthodox blood of the goddess flowing in his body.

On the White Sturgeon Island, there are more than thirty forest elf tribes of all sizes, but there are only three tribes with a population of more than 4,000.

They are Nalin, Hege, and Ego.

Therefore, Igonini, who has noble blood, has a very high status on the White Sturgeon Island.

Soon, he followed the familiar path and came to a hidden cave covered by vines.

After entering the cave and walking for about several hundred meters in the winding, maze-like cave, the front suddenly opened up and revealed a very large mountain cave.

There are many large and small winding cracks on the top of the cave. These cracks connect to the outside world, bringing in light, fresh air, and some rainwater.

There are many small caves, some natural and some artificial, distributed on the four walls of the cave, and a forest elf family lives in each cave.

At first glance, it looks like an oversized ant nest.

Igonini followed a wide spiral corridor and went up to a relatively wide cave entrance when he reached a height of about fifty meters.

At the entrance of the cave stood two guards as tall and slender as him. They were warriors of the tribe.

Igognini stood up and saluted, then said, "I have learned about the situation on the island and I want to report it to my great grandmother."

The warrior returned the greeting, saying, "May the goddess bless you," and then gave up his position.

Igonini stepped into the cave.

The floor of the cave is flat, dry, and not dark, because there is an extra window-like opening on the side of the mountain wall that can bring in some sunlight from the cracks on the top of the cave.

It was by this window that Igonini saw his great-grandmother, who was also his biological grandmother, an old woman with snow-white hair and a kind face.

The old forest elf was mending a fur cloak. Without looking up, she said, "I feel the fear in your heart, child."

"Plop~"

Igonini knelt on the moss cushion, his hands resting respectfully on his knees: "Grandmother, Ted's eldest son has returned from Dawn City."

The great grandmother looked up at her oldest grandson and asked, "Did he do something extraordinary?"

"He married Princess Dawn of the Great Isle of Veran."

The great-grandmother paused, frowned slightly, and her finger was accidentally pierced by the bone needle, leaving a bloody wound.

"My mind tells me this is ridiculous, but the long years have taught me that all kinds of ridiculous things always happen in the world."

"So, I believe what you said is true. Then what?"

Igonini said bitterly, "He came back in the morning, and at noon, he took back Crescent City from Ales. At night, he wiped out all the Dragon Blood Warriors of Phoenix."

"I also heard that despite doing such a big thing, the Crescent Knights suffered almost no losses."

The great grandmother put down the animal skin cloak and bone needle in her hand, straightened her body and looked at her eldest grandson seriously: "Any other news?"

"The princess brought back a very powerful guard. It should be this guard that defeated Phoenix."

"In addition, he immediately moved the people in Gaoshan Town and Sturgeon Wharf back to his territory. He even gave up the Sea Breeze Outpost and completely retreated to Crescent City."

"He also brought back a large amount of supplies. It is said that all kinds of food were piled up into a small mountain in the warehouse of Crescent City."

The great grandmother listened carefully, and when Igonini finished speaking, she sighed and said, "It seems that Mbahat has been defeated."

Igonini agreed: "That's right, the giant island of Veran has endless reinforcements, and M'Bahat has no chance of winning."

Great Grandmother shook her head, "Even without reinforcements, M'Bahate wouldn't stand a chance."

She continued to sew the fur cloak with her head down, and said leisurely, "He married a princess at a young age, commanded a powerful army, and possessed a huge amount of resources, but he was not arrogant and proud, but was cautious instead. This is enough to show how outstanding the eldest son of the baron is."

"Just wait and see. In the next period of time, he will push M'Bahate step by step until he is pushed to the edge of the cliff and forced to jump off the cliff and be smashed to pieces."

Igonini trembled slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Grandma, what should we do then?"

"It's not about what we should do, but what the goddess will choose."

"The goddess believed M'Bahate's lies and gave him her own divine blood. This was not a big mistake, but who would have thought that Ted would give birth to such an outstanding son?"

"Hey~~~"

The old woman sighed deeply, shook her head slowly, and continued to mend the animal skin cloak.

Igonini looked unwilling: "Grandma, are we not going to do anything?"

"What to do? Betray the goddess and join the human lord?"

"No, persuade the goddess to change her mind."

The old woman showed a relieved smile on her face: "It seems that you have not been completely overwhelmed by fear."

"I will go and persuade him, but the goddess doesn't have much deterrent power over M'Bahate, so let's wait a little longer."

Igonini looked anxious: "But grandma, why are you waiting?"

"If an irreparable conflict occurs during this period, even if the goddess changes her mind, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Don't worry, Ted is very cautious. Mbahat is crazy, but unfortunately he has limited control over the tribes. No one will fight him to death."

"As for the goddess. Have you ever seen her take action personally? Hehe~~"

The old woman chuckled a few times and continued to mend her cloak carefully.

. . . . . . .

Compared to Great Grandmother Yige's calmness, the Nalin tribe, which had just lost 200 warriors last night, was in a panic-stricken atmosphere.

The Nalin tribe also lived in caves in the mountains similar to the Yige tribe.

At this moment, in the largest cave, various quarrels were arising one after another surrounding the appearance of a middle-aged female forest spirit with a scar on her face.

"I think we should retaliate immediately. Unite the Heg tribe and the human knights to form a coalition force and attack Crescent City!"

"This is simply impossible. The Heg tribe has never been on our side. They even supported Sad to fight against Ales. How could they join forces with us now?"

"Yes, that's right. Andosha of Heg and Phoenix are enemies. He wishes our Phoenix would die."

"Yes, yes, maybe they are celebrating our failure."

"As for those human knights, if they had no way out, I bet they would definitely lick the new baron's asshole right away!"

The scarred female forest spirit finally had enough, picked up the wooden stick beside her and knocked the ground hard.

"I don't know whether my husband Phoenix is ​​alive or dead, and you are still here arguing non-stop!"

"If you could win an argument, I think you would have become the king of the world long ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the forest spirits were speechless. They looked at each other and no one said anything for a long time.

Finally, a tall male forest elf said cautiously, "This revenge was proposed by the prophet M'Bahat. Now that there is a problem, we should ask him for a solution."

Just as he finished speaking, a wooden sculpture of a human face hanging on the wall suddenly spoke.

"It's not my fault. I asked Phoenix to lead the attack on Sturgeon Wharf, but I didn't ask him to attack Crescent City. It was his own decision that led to the failure."

The scarred female forest spirit was immediately furious and yelled at the wooden sculpture: "Prophet M'Bahate, are you going to just ignore it?"

The wood carving avoided this question.

"I can feel that Phoenix is ​​still alive."

"So wait. Since Ted's eldest son has let him live, he will definitely come to you to make conditions."

This news greatly calmed the anger of the scarred female forest spirit: "Very good, then we will wait patiently for a few days!"
