Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147
Elsa handed the blueprint to Du You, and he nodded in satisfaction. It was very suitable for the development of the Fox People Clan. After all, it was a Fox Person that had been killed, and in this place where the Fox People’s strength was so weak, creating a powerful combat branch of the armed forces was not easy.
It seemed that in the future they could only find a way to raise the level of the Fox People’s Holy Temple. As for the armed forces, Du You thought about it and decided that perhaps he should send some Fox People to the main territory to be strengthened by other methods.

"Forget it, we’ll just find a way to buy some medicine that enhances the strength of the armed forces and force an enhancement," he said.
Du You had seen many such medicines that could enhance the strength of the armed forces, but he had yet to encounter high-tier ones. However, those great powers definitely had some. If all else failed, he could just use the warship and make a deal with the academy.
"What do you plan to do next?" Du You asked Elsa. No matter her age, Elsa was now a lord, not an ordinary person. Moreover, among the Fox Clan, she was one of the highest-ranking individuals.
Elsa clenched her little fist and said, "I want them to know that I am the true Saintess, and I fear no one. Big brother, can you help Elsa build her territory? Elsa needs to go back for a while."
"Do I not need to accompany you on your trip?" Du You asked.
"No need. To truly convince those guys, we can’t let outsiders get involved," Elsa said with a tongue out, showing an apologetic expression. Du You understood this.
Outsiders interfering could easily lead to conflicts, especially if they were from a different race.
As for building a territory, that was simple for Du You, who had a lot of experience. Although he did not currently carry any other blueprints, he only needed to start by building residences and then increasing the population.
Du You commanded the majority of his forces to station themselves around the area. Then, looking at the corpses scattered across the ground, he reluctantly began to summon Fox People civilians and instructed them to build Fox People cottages according to the plan. The snowball effect had thus begun.
At this time, Elsa did not stay in Holy Fox Canyon but rode back on a tier-five Griffin King. Accompanied by a Vajra Gryphon, the two griffins flying together was more than enough.
Although Elsa was young, her mind was anything but simple, and she was precocious. While she often acted like a little girl, Du You, who had spent a considerable amount of time with her, knew she shouldn’t be seen as a child.
Still, they would continue to protect Elsa as a child. This time, Elsa had her own issues to address. The arrival of the griffins, with their powerful presence unabated, had many Fox People come out. The High Priest looked up at the sky with a grave face, trembling under this aura.
Not to mention that the clan now only had him, even if the clan leader returned here, they would be no match for any of the griffins. All the High Priest could hope for now was that these griffins were just passing through.
It would be best if they just took a few individuals as food and left, rather than staying in this place.
However, to his surprise, the two griffins didn’t leave or attack, but instead landed directly on the plaza after their approach. The surrounding Fox People soldiers retreated in terror, their weapons pointing at the griffins, shaking uncontrollably.
This kind of superior aura could not be completely ignored by any creature. Just standing there showed their resolve.
The ordinary Fox People around them, many of whom were sitting on the ground, had lost control of their bladder and bowels. Yet, no one dared to make a sound. Even if children hurt themselves and bled, none dared to cry out loud.
With a "thud," the sound of two heavy objects hitting the ground echoed; they were two corpses.
"Is this Gu Lieqi? How did he die? Wait, Elsa, Saintess Elsa, what does this mean?"
Elsa jumped down and said coldly, "In recent times, I have been building Holy Fox Canyon. You all know about this, right?" Of course, they knew. How could they not?
It was precisely because they knew that they chose not to care about it. They even hoped that Elsa would die there so that a new Saintess could be chosen. To them, Elsa being the Saintess seemed to benefit no one. What did it matter if her talent was great? Even if someone else were chosen, after receiving the Saintess Inheritance, they would surely become tier five.
In the Fox People Clan, only the Saintess and the High Priest’s inheritances would ensure the inheritor reached tier five.
"Gu Lieqi acted against the hierarchy, bringing his son to storm Holy Fox Canyon and affronting me, the Saintess. Now they have been executed. I am here to tell you all to do your jobs well and refrain from scheming," Elsa said.
"We haven’t been scheming," a fox elder said in a low voice.
Elsa glanced over and said coldly, "I don’t care whether you have or haven’t done anything. I’m willing to let bygones be bygones, but if anyone dares to step out of line in the future, don’t blame me for being unkind." The two griffins released their aura in support.
The High Priest’s mouth twitched, and anger flashed in his eyes. Since when did a newly ascended Saintess dare to speak to him ? But he was powerless to act now. The tradition of the Beastmen was that power reigned supreme. The support behind Elsa was not from any clan, nor could they obtain her favor through any exchange of benefits.
Instead, it was the two griffins, two Magical Beasts. How could you win them over? They didn’t know how Elsa managed it, but the griffins’ aura was too powerful. If they really fought, neither the clan leader nor he, even if they joined forces, would be a match.
And the opponent had two. With such an unyielding stance disregarding traditions, they could only compromise.
After speaking, Elsa turned to mount the gryphon again and then flew away. But they all knew that Elsa’s position as the Saintess was secure. Unless someone could deal with those two griffins, there was simply no way.
"How dare she do this? Our clan already has so few tier-five individuals. Even as the Saintess, she has no right to kill indiscriminately," someone finally burst out with dissatisfaction after Elsa had left.
"What do you propose we do? Go say it yourself. As for me, I’m not willing to keep fighting her," another retorted.
"Hmph, I firmly refuse to let our people go there. I want to see how she manages to build the Holy Fox Canyon without our people," proclaimed one of the two families that had previously been crippled. By now, they could only shout slogans.
The High Priest shook his head to pacify the crowd before dispersing them. He signaled, and the previous Saintess followed the High Priest into a secluded hut, where the conversation that ensued was not meant for others to hear.
"Speak your mind," the former Saintess, with her elderly voice, began to speak, her body trembling.
