Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166
The sudden outbreak of the White Fox Clan was unexpected to everyone. Especially the fighting force of so many tier-five White Foxes, it caused the Wolfmen to feel shock and fear in their hearts, leading their team to collapse immediately.
"Damn it, retreat," Soma finally realized he couldn’t win at all, and this assault was doomed to failure. Not only that, but the team he led also suffered heavy losses, severely damaging the high-end combat power of the Wolfmen.
After this incident, the Wolfmen did not manage to bring the Red Fox Clan completely under their rule to enhance their strength. Instead, it would cause their racial status in the kingdom to drop a level. If the situation weren’t so critical at the moment, Soma would have considered dying as an apology. Hearing Soma’s voice, the already collapsing Wolfmen turned and ran.
The Wolfmen, who fully utilized pack tactics, had exquisite coordination in battle, but when retreating, they dispersed quickly like bees from a hive, making them difficult to pursue.
Eventually, the Fox People’s masters and the Griffins only pursued them for a distance, and then Elsa ordered them to come back. Latest content publıshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Stop, do not pursue any further," Elsa’s eyes flickered, although they were sure there were no more Wolfmen ambushing around. But these guys retreated across the grasslands in an organized chaos which may seem haphazard but was difficult to catch up to.
Continuing the pursuit would not yield much, and it would also harm the interests of the entire Beastman community. If the damage was too great, the reputation of the Fox People could plummet throughout the Beastman Kingdom, which would be detrimental to her plans.
The people quickly returned to the location, and Elsa asked a Fox Person beside her, "How big are our losses, and how great are the Wolfmen’s losses?" It was time to clean up the battlefield.
The Fox People organized themselves, then someone came to report, "Reporting to the Saintess, the Wolfmen lost seventy-eight people, all tier-five masters. We lost five people and one Griffin."
Elsa frowned, indeed, fighting against tier-five masters was not so easy. Although her side consisted of specially created branches of the armed forces, the opponents were not utterly powerless to resist. Despite being at the same level, you were attacked first along with the rebellion of the Red Foxes behind them, but achieving an unscathed resolution was still impossible.
The five deceased from the Fox Clan were all the Holy Beast Warriors who had initially rushed forward because they were at the forefront. The Holy Temple Priests, who were behind them, had no deaths, not even an injury. The Wolfmen couldn’t even get close to them.
The White Fox King, who charged from the flank and was the last to enter the battlefield, found that the Wolfmen had already been halted. They had just joined when the Wolfmen’s ranks collapsed, so they weren’t under much pressure.
Furthermore, White Foxes, being Magical Beasts, had a physique far superior to the Fox People. Although many got injured during the Wolfmen’s desperate breakout, none died.
On the other hand, the last creature expected to die, the Vajra Gryphon, was lost during the battle.
After all, Wolfmen excel in close combat, not in using magic like the priests. Vajra Gryphons, though powerful, did not counter them. During the battle, these well-coordinated Wolfmen took the opportunity and killed one.
After a brief tidying up, the Red Foxes slowly approached.
Elsa raised an eyebrow, about to say something, when she saw those Red Fox Clan members suddenly prostrate before her, all kneeling, lying face down in front of her in an extremely submissive manner.
"Greetings to Her Highness the Saintess," the leading Fox Person shouted loudly.
Immediately after that, everyone behind shouted loudly, "Welcome, Saintess."
Elsa raised an eyebrow, knowing that this time, she had chosen the right path. These members of the Red Fox Clan must have been frightened by her power. After all, facing over two hundred Wolfmen, the Red Fox Clan might not have been able to hold them off if they had attacked directly.
But not only had she easily repelled them, she also killed more than a third of the attackers. Meanwhile, her own losses were minimal. The fifth-tier combat power she brought was much more than they had imagined. It seemed that aside from the Griffins, the members of the White Fox Clan also possessed such combat capabilities.
If Elsa had set her heart on dealing with the Red Fox Clan, they would have had no choice but extinction.
Now, thoroughly terrified, the Red Fox Clan did not dare to resist the demands of the Saintess. They were thinking about what benefits they could reap in the future, which was better than constant resistance leading to the annihilation of their clan.
Right after the battle had ended, members of the Red Fox Clan had already run towards their kin to share the news as quickly as possible.
While these Fox People were submitting to Elsa, those in the back began preparing a grand welcoming ceremony. In fact, this ceremony had already been under preparation. However, the Red Fox Clan used the excuse of welcoming the victory of the Wolfmen, so the Wolfmen didn’t stop them. Clearly, the Red Fox thought to welcome whoever won.
Elsa received the most grandiose welcome of her life, and the conversations that followed were very relaxed.
Elsa’s formidable power left the Red Fox Clan no room to resist, and they soon reverted to an era led by the White Fox, completely submissive. They would even allow some of their people to enter the Holy Temple to serve the Saintess.
Essentially, this was also considered a form of hostage-taking or a way to express submission.
Later, Elsa promised that someone would bring Griffin eggs and methods for raising Griffins to help them with the breeding. As for what level they could raise them to, that would depend on them.
There was also the method for training Griffin Knights; whether or not they could successfully train Griffin Knights would depend on them as well.
As for the White Fox Magical Beast, that would have to wait for the future. Elsa didn’t tell them the reason, only mentioned that she needed to assess the situation first.
As the Holy Beast of the White Fox Clan and even the entire Fox People Clan, such caution was very necessary. Therefore, the Red Fox Clan was very accepting; they would have felt it strange if it were not so.
That day, Elsa found that her mission progress had increased significantly, breaking through a bottleneck and reaching a nine-star level. That meant, from now on, Elsa could advance to the fifth tier.
She had not expected to complete the advancement task so quickly. Instead of rushing to the next clan, Elsa let her team slow down on the road. She wanted to enhance her own strength first and adapt to her new power before moving forward.
"When they discover that this Saintess has reached the fifth tier, I wonder what their expressions will be," Elsa said with a cute smile, showing none of the decisiveness she had displayed earlier.
