Chapter 573: Chapter 449, Bat Knight_3
“Yes, sir.” The Blackfoot Cat Clan Leader, still standing, spoke out loudly: “The lord mentioned that the Blackstone Tribe has around 30,000 members, but I want to add that the Blackstone Tribe can summon many smaller tribes in the surrounding area. Once war breaks out, their numbers will exceed this estimate, possibly even substantially.”
He looked around and continued: “Within the Blackstone Tribe, there are two heroes, Clan Leader ‘Andras’ and the Great Commander ‘Mashak’. Moreover, the Blackstone Tribe has a close relationship with Orc City of Tasgo.”
After finishing, the old Clan Leader again bowed and respectfully took his seat once more.
He spoke in great detail, and everyone understood the implications of what he said.
In the event of a battle, the manpower that the Blackstone Tribe can mobilize is much greater than the 30,000 that they themselves had initially received as intelligence.
This includes not only members of the Blackstone Tribe but also the small to medium-sized Orc tribes that are attached to the Blackstone Tribe.
Perhaps, the number of gathered personnel at that time would be more than 50,000.
Secondly, the old Clan Leader mentioned the heroes of the Blackstone Tribe, a total of two individuals, namely the Clan Leader and the Great Commander of the tribe.
A tribe, with two heroes, is indeed quite formidable.
However, even with two heroes, they pose no threat to Fang Hao.
But the key point lies in the last sentence he mentioned, ‘The Blackstone Tribe has close ties with the Orc City of Tasgo.’
That is to say, if Fang Hao goes to war with them, it is very likely to escalate into a war with Tasgo Orc City.
Besides, currently, Bronze Bull is conducting trade dealings with Tasgo Orc City.
Each of them has established shops in the other’s markets.
“Hmm, the additional information provided by the old Clan Leader is crucial. Bronze Bull City is currently in a business partnership with Tasgo Orc City, we need to pay attention to this point,” said Fang Hao.
“Sir, we can’t abandon the Webweaver Camp,” Domina warned urgently.
“Don’t worry, I won’t give up the Webweaver Camp. Let’s first hear what everyone else has to say.” Fang Hao replied calmly, then turned to the others, “Everyone, what are your thoughts?”
Aseti spoke straight away: “Sir, all fair trades are built on equal strength. Occasionally showing off our weapons might actually smooth our co-operation.”
That seemed reasonable and also very in line with their current relations with the Orcs.
According to her attribute description, Aseti is a very fierce hero.
Known as the Glory of the Kingdom, she indeed has her unique reasoning.
“Sir, I am willing to lead the troops and crush the Blackstone Tribe,” Meatfist declared loudly.
The other people also subsequently voiced their agreement to the fight.
Looking around, the heroes assembled were all battle-oriented, clearly a faction eager for war.
Fang Hao looked back at Nelson and quietly asked, “Sir Nelson, do you think we can fight this battle?”
Nelson didn’t hesitate much.
He nodded. “In trades with the Orcs, showing our strength will make things simpler.”
It seemed that Nelson also agreed with this plan.
“Alright, Domina, Nelson,” said Fang Hao.
“Sir,” the two of them stood.
“The two of you, lead the army and set out in advance. Construct roads and bridges where necessary along the way, and ensure that the main forces have a route to the Webweaver Camp.”
Outside, the rain had been pouring heavily for several days. If they were to march, they should first ensure that the roads are open.
The two of them loudly acknowledged the order.
