Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218

The meeting, full of hidden agendas, ended like that without any resolution.

After the meeting, the king was furious, "Damn Fox People, how dare they ignore our authority . I’ll show them who the real royalty is. Send the orders, mobilize the troops, I will teach the Fox People a lesson."

The Beastman Clan was quite straightforward, and at this point, war was not out of the question.

"No, we cannot act alone; the strength of the Fox People Clan is too great. If only we act, other clans might rebel when they see our power weakened. We must get them involved, everyone must pay their price together."

"But what about the other countries, especially the Quicksand Empire and the Divine Flame Empire?"

"This is not the time to think about this. We must first deal with the internal threats. Without the Fox People’s priests, our military strength will diminish significantly, and the Fox People are setting a bad example for others."

"That’s right, we are the royalty. Since when did a bunch of foxes get to call the shots?"

The upper class of the Lion People Clan unanimously passed an internal resolution, determined to teach the Fox People Clan a lesson. The Fox People Clan’s apparent strength was not as significant as theirs, for much of their power was hidden.

"Alright, next I will hold them off and delay as much as possible. You need to quickly reach an agreement with other clans, especially the Wolfmen who are now our most loyal subordinates," the king concluded.

What the Lion People did not anticipate was that the Fox People would not follow the usual patterns. Elsa’s sense of belonging to the Beastman Kingdom was weak, and she hardly gave them any face, given that the Beastman Kingdom always seemed to be a loose alliance.

Influenced by Du You, Elsa’s vision had transcended this world, not intending to waste much time here.

With Du You’s backing and the strong power of her own territory, Elsa did not hesitate to summon a meeting and declare the establishment of a nation. Then, over a thousand tier-five White Foxes appeared, even more than before.

The forces included priests, magic users, melee units, Magical Beasts, and aerial units; all kinds of power were complete. Even though they didn’t have many lower-tier soldiers, the deterrence of these top-level soldiers was enough. Thus, the Fox People simply informed and then directly declared the establishment of a kingdom.

The name was simple: Holy Fox Kingdom. Du You examined his panel and found it still read Holy Fox City, not Holy Fox Kingdom. Du You understood that Holy Fox City was the name of his territory, not the kingdom.

This was different from his Shenghai Kingdom; his original City of Mountains had been renamed to Shenghai Kingdom, so Shenghai Kingdom was not just the name of the kingdom but also the name of the territory.

The establishment of a nation by the Fox People was no small matter. A nation with strict systems was entirely different from a loose alliance or a clan within an alliance.

The impact was enormous; the nobles of the northern Divine Flame Empire were immediately alarmed. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

To these nobles, having a powerful kingdom nearby was not a good thing. Moreover, the kingdom displayed considerable strength and was not a human lineage, truly making their hearts tremble.

These northern nobles quickly deployed additional troops to their northern borders, only to discover that the northern Fox People had already built fortresses along the warpaths.

They then remembered that the Fox People had indeed used various excuses to build towns here before. Unknowingly, these had turned into fortresses, and those damned merchants had not informed them.

After some discussion, these nobles began to seek reinforcements. Then, news of the Fox People’s nation-building spread, and the entire Divine Flame Empire was shaken. The northern armies of the Divine Flame Empire also began to show signs of mobilization.

At this time, inside the palace of Holy Fox City, Du You and others gathered, not caring about such threats at all. As long as they had enough strength, whom should they fear? Besides, on those narrow traffic arteries, it was impossible to deploy large-scale forces. Therefore, high-tier, numerous masters were essential. With the power of the Fox People Clan alone, it was enough.

"How about it, big brother, our nation-building is already complete."

"Don’t be too happy yet, the pressure you’re facing now is the biggest. Before we start planning on our side, not only do you have to face the Divine Flame Empire but also internal strife within the Beastman Empire."

"Don’t worry, they definitely won’t go all out, especially with the Quicksand Empire looming. Even if they do go all in, they won’t be able to take down Holy Fox City without suffering heavy losses." Elsa was very confident.

Suddenly, Elsa’s expression changed, becoming ambiguous, "Master, I heard that many people on Earth like beast-eared girls, and I’ve prepared a lot here for you. Look, the Cat People and Rabbit People have already joined Holy Fox Kingdom. If you want catgirls or bunny girls, we have them all; feel free to choose."

Du You knocked Elsa on the head unhappily, "What have you learned? Be serious, now is not the time to think about these things. Besides, do you think I accept just anyone?"

"Oh, I get it, quality is most important. I’ll go and organize a beauty pageant right away." Elsa looked at Du You playfully. Men, don’t they all like that sort of thing? Even if she doesn’t say it, Elsa understands.

Du You looked at Elsa and was helpless—who had taught Elsa this? Du You even wondered if he had taken in these clans because of such thoughts. The Cat People was one thing; setting aside their looks, their assassination and intelligence abilities were quite good, although their combat ability in open battles was poor.

But what about the Rabbit People? This race had virtually no combat capability, nor could they produce top-tier experts like the Boarmen. Other than looking good, they were practically useless.

Most Rabbit People didn’t even qualify to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. Fortunately, they had normal reproductive capabilities; if they bred as rapidly as rabbits, they might have been driven out or even slaughtered by the Beastman Empire.

Du You looked around the hall; indeed, there were quite a few good-looking Rabbit People here, mostly resembling Bunny Girls. What was this, hospitality or some kind of uniform temptation?
