"Just wait a moment." Chen Jiuge merely glanced around. These camps were indeed much stronger than the previous ones; the True Demon Clan members within were significantly greater in both number and quality. Even if he led his men to ambush them, they would still suffer considerable losses.
Before long, Yue Jun arrived at the great hall with an expressionless face. After leaving a token in his hand, he hurriedly departed.
The information recorded on the jade scroll this time pertained to the Ferocious Clan. While the Myriad Beasts Sect’s disciples were often treated as cannon fodder when under the dominion of others, most clans acted covertly. Only a few did so openly, and among them, the Ferocious Clan was the most egregious.
After a brief scan, Rodan shivered uncontrollably. "General Chen, you’re being far too... too... too generous."
In the camp of the Ferocious Clan, there were as many as three thousand Heavenly Immortals and ten thousand True Immortals—a truly generous gift indeed!
"Envoy, you’re too kind. We’re just starting our cooperation, aren’t we? We should at least show some sincerity!" Chen Jiuge said with a smile.
Rodan’s expression turned serious, and his tone firmed. "General Chen, since you’ve given us such a generous gift, I will ensure the General prepares a suitable return gift for you when I get back."
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Jiuge’s reply, Rodan dashed out of the valley as if he’d gone mad.
Moya finished reading the jade scroll. Her hands trembled slightly as she exclaimed, "Good, good, good!"
"General, this General Chen seems reliable. Shouldn’t we return some valuable information?" Rodan suggested.
"That’s the right thing to do. General Chen’s appearance suggests he might belong to the Asura Clan. I remember one camp recently captured a batch of Asura prisoners. This return gift should be about right," Moya contemplated.
"It should be sufficient. However, the strength of that camp is still formidable. General Chen might not be able to take it down easily," Rodan reminded.
"Hehe, that’s exactly the effect we want. Isn’t that the intention behind the gift of the Ferocious Clan’s territory?" Moya had recovered from her initial surprise.
"I was wondering why he was so generous. So that’s how it is!" Rodan said, a bit annoyed.
"It’s not that bad. As long as the strength disparity between our forces doesn’t become too great, we’ll continue to be friends," Moya reassured Rodan. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel⁂fire.net
"Moreover, he gave us solid information without deceiving us. If we can’t capitalize on the merits we’ve gained, we can’t blame others."
"That’s true. General, when do we depart?"
"There’s no rush. Support from the Central Army will arrive soon. Let’s receive that first. I don’t want to go through hell and high water to take down the Ferocious Clan, only to have Brother Chen and his team outflank us from behind."
「Inside the valley’s great hall.」
Chen Jiuge, Yaksha Jing, and Yue Jun huddled over the table, repeatedly scrutinizing the jade scroll, their faces filled with indecision.
"Brother Chen, the strength of this camp seems formidable. Even if we manage to take it down, I’m afraid the losses will be substantial. If Moya turns on us then, we’ll be in danger," Yaksha Jing unexpectedly offered a valuable suggestion.
"It probably won’t come to that. The Ferocious Clan camp I offered also has formidable strength. They will also incur significant losses," Yue Jun said, shaking his head.
Chen Jiuge frowned. "Brother Jing, Senior Brother, try your best to contact some friends and clan members to rally them to our side. I’ll try to connect with the Asura Elders on my end and see if we can further boost our strength."
"As for this camp, we definitely have to attack it. But as for when, that depends on when the True Demon Clan outside decides to strike the Ferocious Clan."
"That should be doable. There should still be some disciples from the Myriad Beasts Sect," Yue Jun concurred.
"I don’t foresee any issues on my part. I should be able to gather some additional manpower, though not a lot. There are other Divine Sons here, and compared to them, I’m still somewhat lacking," Yaksha Jing said, shaking his head.
"No matter. Let’s leave it at that for now."
