Chapter 1717: Chapter 838: Infighting (Part 3)

“Great Khan, what are you waiting for? Please order the army to prepare. I, Huhaba Ri, am willing to be the vanguard and tear all the enemies ahead apart for the Great Khan.”

“I, Erithef, am also willing to be the vanguard.”

These chieftains of the Tukan Tribe possess a certain degree of wisdom, but not much. Soon, they were overwhelmed by strong self-confidence, as their hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers were here, and their undefeated achievements over the past few years were not mere boasts.

This Lake Asen is just like the Soaring Dragon Great Wall of the Far East Empire, capable of stopping them temporarily, but not forever.

As long as they find a way to break through, it will be the doom of their enemies.

“Great Khan, we must not act recklessly. The opposing side has made such a disadvantageous decision hastily undoubtedly because our sacrifice plan has hit their fatal weakness. They are out of strategies and can only expose their weaknesses proactively to divert our attention.

We should not easily fall into their trap but continue to focus all our efforts on the sacrifice plan. Only when their overall strength is weakened to the utmost can we act then.” As if a black shadow, the Huang Hun Witch stood respectfully behind Khan Yamun and advised.

“What do you think you are? How dare you speak such nonsense here!”

“Celestial Khan, these witches have unknown origins, and no one knows whether they have colluded with other witches to save those hundred thousand captives. Just look at the places they chose: the Northern Plateau, Sunrise Volcano, Heart of the Mountains. Those places are secluded and the terrain extremely challenging. Our dispatching escort troops would be like stepping into the lion’s den, and even the slightest hiccup in the plan would leave them with no way out.”

“Celestial Khan, even if we don’t launch a full attack now and wait for a better opportunity, cooperation with these witches must be treated with caution. I suggest, before causing irreparable damage, we immediately recall all our armies. The lake surface is about to freeze over completely, so there is no need to complicate matters.” This update ıs available on novel⦿fire.net

The advice of the Huang Hun Witch immediately drew an onslaught from the Tukan chieftains.

They deeply distrust these witches who resemble the Laiserman Witches and strongly oppose the so-called Dark Sacrifice Plan.

In their eyes, this plan is fraught with issues.

First, regarding the choice of location, there exists a huge problem. Apart from the sacrifice site on the shores of Lake Asen, the rest are absolute traps. If anything goes wrong, their army will be powerless.

Secondly, they see no profitable interest in it. What the witches say is nothing more than their side of the story, without any assurances.

In their eyes, it seems their Khan has been bewitched by these witches with unknown origins, handing control over to them.

Before the Huang Hun Witch could speak, Khan Yamun’s body unknowingly leaned forward, his eyes slightly opened, and his gaze swept across the Tukan Great Chiefs one by one, saying calmly, “Are you questioning my prior decisions?”

His gaze, as sharp as a blade drawn from its sheath, covered the entire palace like a shadow, and the power of slaughter pressed down suddenly. All present felt like they carried a weight of a thousand pounds, especially around their necks, as if a blade capable of cutting a hair was poised to sever their heads the next second.

Several Great Chiefs with unsteady wills fell and prostrated themselves completely, unable to utter a complete sentence.

“Amitabha!” A loud Buddhist chant echoed in the palace.

With a body as plump as Maitreya but skin as white as a girl’s, the Skambuhe National Master smiled benevolently with a smile of compassion for all beings and said, “Celestial Khan has misunderstood, our loyalty to the Celestial Khan is unquestionable.

At the command of the Celestial Khan, we would fearlessly charge forward even against the Soaring Dragon Great Wall.

If the Celestial Khan requires, even to the distant Felen, we would launch raids without complaint.”

This Killing Vajra Lama has high-level advisory skills. He did not attempt to confront Khan Yamun’s power of slaughter but actively drew it to himself with the Buddhist chant.

Though advising, he did not just pledge loyalty, but stated their actions over time to prove their allegiance, while emphasizing further that they were the Killing Vajra Lama, these Great Chiefs, who have been conquering regions with Khan Yamun — even crossing the entire continent nearly ten thousand kilometers without regret.

In comparison, the dark witches were merely outsiders.

Even a tyrant as capricious as Khan Yamun’s expression unwittingly softened, nodding slowly to his State Preceptor, explaining reluctantly, “I have my reasons for making such decisions.

The witches across the lake have harnessed the Totem Spirit to an almost unfathomable level.

Currently a Natural Balancer has emerged, not only breaking the slaughter I set at the Great Valley before, now even granting a Totem Tree and creating a Totem Dreamscape, maximizing the capabilities of those once limited Totem Spirits.

Even my power of slaughter has been somewhat delayed.

This is only with a part of the Totem Spirits gathered. What if they gather all the Spirit Totems within our borders, what situation will arise?

We must consider not only progress but also withdrawal.

So, merely crossing this lake is insufficient; we must utterly demolish the power of resistance on this land to prevent them from ever obstructing us again.

Only by destroying the Totem Spirits they rely on, will the witches be just ordinary witches, the berserkers become ordinary barbarians, and their strength will be greatly reduced.

However, in terms of understanding Totem Spirits, we are far inferior to the Huang Hun Witch and her kind.

You don’t know their past, so naturally, you distrust them.

Though born of the Laiserman witches, they diverged and opposed each other for a thousand years, constantly overthrowing each other, having a deep hatred that is irreconcilable.

We are their hope to replace the Haslan witches, more eager than us to destroy the Haslan witches and take control of all the Totem Spirits.”

Though Khan Yamun is an utter tyrant, a dictator who brooks no questioning of his orders.

Yet he is not one easily swayed by others; his use of the Huang Hun Witch naturally has his own considerations and plans, even having thoroughly investigated the origins of these dark witches beforehand.

He is not one to blindly trust others, even still, he has never truly trusted these dark witches, leaving hidden measures among those escort troops dispatched to prevent any ulterior motives they might have.
