Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220

Next, there wasn’t much to do but wait, unlike the establishment of the Holy Fox Kingdom, which had all the prerequisites in place and a well-developed system to unite all its power.

Furthermore, showing great strength and producing no significant harm to the Beastman Kingdom, the greatest loss for the Beastman Kingdom in being forcibly established was merely a slap in the face, while in reality, they still reaped considerable benefits.

The establishment of other kingdoms was indeed a direct slap in the face. Not only did it fragment a significant amount of territory, rendering the Beastman Kingdom fragmented and divided, but their pretenses were also problematic.

The reason they cited for establishing kingdoms was the oppression by the Lion People. They outright said the Lion People wanted to use them as cannon fodder to attack the Holy Fox Kingdom, which led them to independence. This statement was not only a huge loss of face for the Lion People but completely dishonored the Beastman Tribe, offending the Holy Fox Kingdom and directly slapping the face of the Lion People Clan.

From their excuses, it was clearly a rebellion, so how could the Lion People not retaliate?

Next, full-scale fighting broke out, with the Lion People forming an alliance with the remaining tribes. However, these new independent kingdoms had no external reinforcements and could only rely on themselves.

Then, they discovered the problem. Because they needed to keep their strong warriors to protect their tribes, each tribe couldn’t spare many elite fighters. After independence, they realized their military strength was utterly insufficient.

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the Beastman Tribe, each tribe only developed its own unique combat style, meaning professions within each tribe were extremely limited. This wasn’t noticeable in an allied force before, but now it was different.

The Bear People had only warriors and very few priests, and when facing the Lion People’s army, they were beaten back continuously. It was similar for the Leopard People, who, being primarily agile warriors, lacked frontal combat power.

The boarmen were numerous but slow, continuously bogged down and eaten away by the Wolf Cavalry.

The Minotaurs, forming a regulated army, were strong and very disciplined but lacked long-range military units, resulting in heavy losses when the Lion People countered with their ranged units. Although these strengths and weaknesses weren’t evident among the higher ranks, the Lion People always managed to gather many tribes to outnumber their opponents, causing them devastating losses.

The Ape People remained observers, only sending some priests to assist, as they weren’t adept at head-on confrontations.

But as the battle progressed and expanded in scale, and with the territories of the Beastman Tribe in complete disarray, the chaos only intensified. Regular armies couldn’t win, and many soldiers began to disperse.

During this time, there were always some who attacked other small tribes. Subsequently, various acts of thieving commenced, plunging the entire north into unprecedented chaos. Given their high mobility and significant responsibilities, the Wolf People performed very well on the battlefield. The end result was that, amid the chaos, they suffered the worst from the thieving.

Conversely, the Lion People Clan in the west protected their own people well and were hardly affected.

The losses of the Wolf People grew larger, and they repeatedly requested reinforcements from the Lion People, but to conserve their strength, the Lion People outright rejected these requests. These foolish tactics even caused Du You to laugh from behind.

He had never seen such foolish commanders; was the brains of these Beastmen all muscle? Don’t they realize that when a tribe is driven into a corner, they are capable of anything?

As Du You expected, when the Wolf People could no longer withstand the pressure, they too declared their independence. This caught the Lion People completely off guard, causing problems on the frontline.

The initially victorious Lion People’s alliance began to employ bizarre strategies to conserve strength. Smaller tribes even found excuses to withdraw their forces.

Eventually, even the observing Ape People Clan was asked by the Lion People to deploy melee units. At that point, the Lion People’s loose alliance completely collapsed. That’s the nature of Beastmen; they are fine in battles with the wind at their backs or a clear battle stance. However, once internal disagreements emerge, disintegration is almost an inevitable outcome.

As the Wolf People declared independence, followed by the Snake People and then one tribe after another either declaring independence or seeking protection from stronger tribes, fewer and fewer chose to side with the Lion People.

Because the Lion People wanted to continue fighting and use them as cannon fodder, no one was a fool in such a situation; everyone knew how to choose, and then the north descended into complete chaos.

As for those so-called independent kingdoms, they gained no real benefits. Lacking coordination by the Lion People and all still living nomadically, resources became scarce, causing prices in the north to continuously rise.

If it weren’t for Elsa secretly helping these tribes, they likely would have descended into turmoil themselves. But even so, the north still presented a picture of chaos, with battles and conflicts everywhere.

The chaos gradually developed in an ever more chaotic direction. For the sake of certain benefits, some didn’t even spare their own people. No matter the tribe, there were always some degenerates. Even the Elf Forest was gradually affected, with numerous Beastmen rushing into the forest and engaging in frequent battles with the Grey Elves. Check latest chapters at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

"How did it develop ? What is this all about?" Du You looked puzzled.

Originally, Du You considered the Beastman Kingdom a formidable enemy, but this seemingly royal opponent turned out to be mere bronze trash—no, not even bronze trash, they were simply a group of pigs.

They hadn’t experienced any impact on their side, yet these guys were already in chaos. He never expected that the Beastman Kingdom had such grave inherent issues—had he inadvertently triggered them?

"Forget it, the Beastman Kingdom is no longer a threat now; just continue to be on guard. Our real target isn’t them, but the Divine Flame Empire. How are things on the Divine Flame Empire’s side recently?"

In the mirror, Shaliya spoke, "The Divine Flame Empire’s troop movements are frequent, with a large part already deployed to the border. A great war seems inevitable, but whether there are other reasons, we don’t know."

"Regardless of the reason, it’s good as long as they are willing to attack. If they don’t take action, we really wouldn’t have an excuse. After their first strike, our plans will also commence."
