Chapter 1807: Chapter 1807
Since Du You reached tier seven, no Kobold dared to speak casually in front of him. They all behaved like obedient pet dogs, enduring whatever Du You did without question.
This made things a bit dull, but it certainly sped up the implementation of his plans.
On this day, Du You gathered all the commanders. Many of these commanders were created by Du You, and due to their new appearances, other Kobolds around them had no idea.
In fact, because there were so many outsiders, they didn’t even know how many strong individuals were in their own tribe. Even if they encountered some unknown ones, there was nothing they could do; they might have just come from other places.
Kobolds weren’t very bright, and the lower-level Kobolds wouldn’t consider why so many reached tier six. Previously, only legendary and heroic Kobolds could achieve such a level. But now, these tier-six Kobolds were everywhere and could form an enhanced battalion.
The higher-level Kobolds had all cultivated Du You’s secret methods, gradually becoming completely loyal.
Of course, they would not speak of such matters. Even if they sensed that something was off with those around them, they still wouldn’t say anything.
"Very well, everyone is here, so let me discuss the current situation. Nowadays, our number of Kobolds is increasing, and our current territory is nearly insufficient to support so many people."
To be honest, if it weren’t for his functional buildings sustaining them, they might have already collapsed.
"Master, just tell us what to do directly; whatever you say, we’ll listen," a Jackal Man shouted loudly.
Seeing the Jackal Man had already expressed support, everyone else couldn’t show weakness, so they all started clamoring.
Du You furrowed his brow, then pressed his hands down, and the entire hall instantly quieted down. "Very well, then I will be straightforward. Our next plan is to directly take action and seize all the surrounding lands."
An uproar of excited howls erupted below, with everyone visibly thrilled.
"Master, we should have done this long ago. Originally, this land was unified, but now they all want to rebel," a Jackal Man shouted loudly, eager to teach these guys a lesson.
Though their superior had changed, the Jackal Men still obeyed their superiors.
Daring to rebel on their territory is a sure path to doom for these fools.
Seeing the excitement among them, Du You was very pleased, realizing this step was correct. "Very good, then we will proceed to take over these places and make them submit. However, you must take note: they are our people, so don’t drive them to extinction. In the future, they should also appear in our army."
Though Kobolds and Jackal Men didn’t quite understand what Du You meant, it was considered the divine will, so they just needed to obey.
The Jackal Men were a bit smarter than the Kobolds but still not very clear-headed compared to high-tier Wolfman races. Besides fighting, they didn’t have much else in their minds.
Otherwise, given their ferocity and strength, the Jackal Men would not rank lower among the Wolfman races.
With Du You’s command, the Kobolds and Jackal Men immediately took action. The regular army deployed, with fully armored Kobolds and Jackal Man troops in the lead, followed by various siege weapons.
"Look, those seem like our people; how do they have such equipment?"
Someone looked curiously at the Jackal Man army over there.
"Isn’t this a good thing? It means the new leader has accepted us and can give us the same treatment. Do you want them to treat us as slaves?" Being treated as a slave by those who used to be slaves is unbearable.
"Of course not. I mean, how did they train so quickly, and our sizes differ from the Kobolds, right?"
They didn’t know that these Jackal Men weren’t trained using the recent recruits but were directly built by Du You using functional buildings. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to form such an impressive force so quickly. And if the territory hadn’t reached tier seven, enabling unrestricted production from functional buildings, this scale couldn’t have formed so rapidly.
But as the Jackal Man leader remained silent, there was nothing they could do.
Through Du You’s research, a secret method to control Jackal Men had also been developed. Similar to the secret methods for the Kobolds’ cultivation, it just needed slight modification, as it still utilized his power seeds.
And since he’d reached tier seven, this consumption had become negligible. As long as the seeds were distributed and transformed, the higher-ups could further produce new seeds layer by layer.
In a relatively short period, most of the upper-class Jackal Men had become Du You’s puppets.
Under control, they wouldn’t expose themselves. Meanwhile, Du You was also researching more secret methods to control the Beastmen, to control them without being discovered, while also quickly enhancing their strength, truly achieving multiple goals.
While this benefited Du You, it wasn’t the same for other nearby races. The nearest Wild Wolves city had gone into full lockdown, focusing all attention on the front.
"Damn it, have these Jackal Men integrated so quickly after joining? And they’re all so obedient. This doesn’t fit the Jackal Men’s nature. Plus, the Kobolds accepted them so easily?"
"Stop saying so much. Haven’t you seen they’re already here? Damn it, at this rate, we’re no match for them."
Wild Wolves belong to a branch of the Wolfman, smarter but weaker. They didn’t even have a single tier six among them. Relying on the city to hold out was almost an impossible task.
"We’re not opponents at all, so why fight them? Let’s surrender directly."
"Surrendering directly makes us look weak. The leader’s idea is to fight once, show them our strength, then surrender. This way, we might get treated better."
"What, fight once? Is this a death sentence? Don’t you see their siege weapons?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
When did the Kobolds get so good at manufacturing, crafting sophisticated weapons and armor, and even making siege weapons? And those flickering runes—they clearly weren’t just for show.
But what they didn’t expect was that, even before the confrontation, many appeared on the other side, each holding flags or totems.
