Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170
"Has it been taken care of?" Du You, hidden in a corner at the back of the meeting room, asked Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, the two sisters who had suddenly appeared.
Lin Yucha nodded slightly, "We’ve checked three times and confirmed that there are no hidden people left."
The various Beastman Clans had sent many who were skilled in concealment to hide in Holy Fox City, but all were found and dealt with by the two sisters. The ability of many to hide was so great that even they had difficulty detecting them.
Dealing with these people also greatly deterred the other Beastman Clans, letting them know that they were not to be provoked.
When the time came, under the leadership of the teams from the Five Major Branches, the members of the Fox People Clan entered and saluted Elsa. This was not the usual ceremony to meet the Saintess but rather the ceremony to meet their supreme leader.
"The Bear People envoy group is here to attend the ceremony." Just then, a voice rang out.
"The boarman envoy group is here to attend the ceremony." "The Wolf People envoy group is here to attend the ceremony."
Hearing these voices, a cold smirk flashed across Elsa’s eyes, "They really got the news quickly and moved quickly too. I didn’t invite them; they came on their own." Indeed, this was originally a matter for the Fox People alone. In Elsa’s words, there was no need to disturb the other Beastman Clans because this was not a revolution.
Originally, the Fox People Clan was led by the White Fox, even though it was only in name.
Now, it was merely about making the nominal leadership actual, nothing too revolutionary. The other Beastman Clans rushed over, clearly intending to spy on the strength of the White Fox Clan.
Thinking of those hidden fighters they had hunted down earlier made it clear why they had come.
Elsa calmly invited these people in. You want to see, then have a good look, she thought, as this time Elsa was ready to deter the others, allowing them to openly witness without an issue.
As the crowd entered, many faces turned somber, even horrified, particularly the Wolf People who were considering whether to sincerely apologize for what they had done over the years and their actions from the previous encounter.
There was no choice; the surroundings were filled with no less than nine hundred elite warriors from the White Fox Clan and Magical Beasts, plus mounts of the same tier, amounting to a total of one thousand three hundred. This force would pose a problem even for the Bear People.
The critical issue was that they still didn’t know what capabilities those peculiar cavalry units held. Within the Beastman Race, cavalry was rarely seen. Wolf People with their kin could form Wolf Cavalry, and boarmen with mutated brethren could form boarman cavalry, but that was about it. Beastmen did not generally like to tame Magical Beasts as their mounts.
It was only some shamans who would tame a few Magical Beasts as pets to protect themselves.
Now, with so many clearly formidable cavalry appearing, they could not help but feel nervous.
"My God, does the White Fox Clan really have such a strong foundation? Plus those three hundred Griffins, the total combat strength is now one thousand six hundred," the Beastmen, who preferred to count individuals, considered the cavalry as two each.
The boarman’s eyes flickered, "Both the number and strength are strong, but the actual combat effectiveness remains to be seen."
Boarmen constituted a very special race. There were many strong individuals within their population, but even more weak ones. Most boarmen could be considered as the lowest branch of the armed forces of the Beastman Race, essentially cannon fodder. However, within their large population, there were always some strong warriors emerging with notable combat abilities.
If not for their enormous numbers and appetite, their usefulness to the Beastmen might have surpassed that of the Wolf People.
At this moment, the Wolf People were showing signs of worry and fear, considering, if it came to a head-on clash, they potentially couldn’t match these White Foxes. Especially with the air force; Tier-5 could fly, but they were at a significant disadvantage against air forces.
The evaluations of the White Fox Clan by those who had returned last time, further shook their confidence.
"It seems like we need to change the way we interact with the White Fox Clan," a member of the Bear People said sheepishly.
Just then, another voice sounded from outside: "The Lion People Clan delegation is here to attend the ceremony."
Upon hearing this, the entire hall quieted down momentarily. The Lion People Clan, that was royalty, and although it was unknown who exactly had come, the mere fact that the Lion People had arrived indicated the significance they placed on this event.
Previously, even for significant ceremonies of the Bear People Clan, the Lion People Clan might not have sent representatives.
"Very well, even royalty has arrived. This is a good opportunity to deter them as well," Elsa thought to herself.
Everyone was stunned to discover that the visitor was a prince, indicating direct royal lineage. Seeing the presence of such elite forces at the event, the Lion Prince’s expression also tightened momentarily before he resumed a smiling demeanor.
However, their smiles were somewhat stiff.
"A total of one thousand six hundred Tier-5 combat strengths, plus some knights of unknown capabilities. The combat strength of the White Fox Clan needs to be reassessed. To eliminate them, even our Lion Clan would have to pay a considerable price." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Hearing someone speaking next to him, the Third Prince also lowered his voice, "Don’t underestimate them; this is merely the combat power the White Fox Clan has shown on the surface, who knows how much more they’ve hidden. Have you forgotten? Initially, the combat strength the White Fox Clan displayed was nowhere near this strong, indicating they’re clearly fishing for a reaction."
"In that case, should we contact the royal family of the Beastman Empire?"
"Not for now, let’s send the news back and let Father decide what to do next."
At the Beastman Empire, the strength of the Fox People was certainly not weak. If the royal family took action, the Fox People might very well align themselves with the Tiger People Clan, which would be absolutely disadvantageous for the Lion Clan.
The subordinate nodded slightly, "We have already secretly hired others to quietly infiltrate Holy Fox City; I think we will soon know their exact strength," said the person, completely unaware that those spies had already been dealt with.
The Third Prince nodded slightly, "Well done, but let’s not let anyone grasp any leverage over us."
The fact that the royal family had to hire people to investigate their own subordinate clan would turn them into a joke if it became known.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Elsa slowly stood up, "Welcome everyone to Holy Fox City to attend our first full meeting of the Fox People. In the name of the Fox People’s Saintess, I promise that I will make life better for our clan."
As Elsa finished speaking, someone immediately unfolded a map behind her, and maps were handed out to others present, not hiding anything, even the representatives of the other Beastman Clans received a copy of the map.
