Chapter 28: Counterattack

Seeing that the Capricorn Tribe had begun to retreat from the battlefield, Tang Sen did not deliberately go after them. He now kept his eyes fixed on the massive murderous object in front of him. This item was clearly much more exhilarating for those that were closer to him.

It apparently had the effect of giving others courage and bravery, just like Tang Sen’s Godly Blessing—which he had used countless times in actual combat.

After thinking about the item’s origins, Tang Sen still couldn’t wrap his head around it or find a single clue. Hence, he had no choice but to make some rough guesses from its silly functions.

Tang Sen was well aware that, if not for the existence of this object, he would’ve been able to settle this matter with the Wild Lion Tribe and the Aquila Tribe’s help, even if he wasn’t there in person.

If he did not make it here in the nick of time, the Beastkind would’ve probably all died here. The Capricorn Tribe probably had a lot more of such items.

Tang Sen initially intended to take advantage of his victory today and attack. However, a member of the Wild Lion Tribe said, “Mighty Divine Spirit, the Capricorn Tribe has always been sly. Even if we burn everything here, they will still be able to appear in front of us alive.”

In fact, the Capricorn Tribe could be considered extremely cunning. Even if they were all slaughtered today, the Capricorn Tribe would still be able to find trouble with others.

Even Tang Sen dared not be so resolute about burning the entire forest. After thinking about it, he decided to give up. He was destined to become enemies with the Capricorn Tribe.

Although the Capricorn Tribe often liked leaving a backup plan for themselves, what happened today was still infuriating for them, even if they had a backup plan. Clearly, it was because they felt ashamed and humiliated because of this matter.

Tang Sen’s prediction was right. Although he seemed to have eradicated the Capricorn Tribe completely, many of the Capricorn Tribe’s members had moved into a dark corner to hide. Due to this matter, they bore extreme hatred and resentment toward Tang Sen.

Hence, they were considered to be in a frenzy and were continuously trying to make things difficult for Tang Sen now. Although this had little effect, it didn’t stop the Capricorn Tribe from being elated about this matter.

Tang Sen discovered that this matter was actually not too difficult to resolve. In the beginning, Tang Sen and the others attacked the Capricorn Tribe because the Capricorn Tribe had mercilessly eaten the Beastkind that Tang Sen protected.

Although Tang Sen had already defeated the Capricorn Tribe on the surface, Beastkind were continuously going missing every day. After some thought, Tang Sen already understood that this was a form of revenge that the Capricorn Tribe’s surviving members were exacting on him.

More and more people began worshiping Tang Sen. Hence, there was an increase in some weak and smaller tribes. It wasn’t that Tang Sen couldn’t appeal to the stronger tribes, but rather, the smaller and weaker tribes had to rely on powerhouses to survive.

However, this matter was, in fact, a situation that would make Tang Sen feel at a loss for what to do. Even if the Ferocious Tiger Tribe had joined in, they would still be in a terrible spot since they had to patrol such a large area.

Tang Sen knew that such things would continuously happen, but he would not sit back and do nothing while letting this matter continue. Although the city had yet to be constructed completely, the smaller tribes would only be able to survive if all the tribes gathered.

Tang Sen felt a little helpless because of this matter, but gathering the tribes was definitely better than letting them get harassed by the Capricorn Tribe every single day.

Due to the fact that the Capricorn Tribe’s largest patch was destroyed, the Capricorn Tribe’s surviving members were no longer careful about hiding their tracks when eating others. Instead, they made their intentions clear.

Due to the fact that the two parties had formed a feud, Tang Sen would find some corpses at various locations after every disappearance. Some would have a missing limb, while some would have missing organs. There were also some who would have all their bones picked out.

In fact, friction between tribes was very normal, and many tribes were natural enemies. Regardless of what the issue was, it would all escalate into a major problem.

However, Tang Sen could tell that the Capricorn Tribe was just taking crazy revenge on him. Thus, many people were somewhat horrified at this juncture.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Sen decided to get someone to bring the Aquila Tribe’s Saintess over. Although the Saintess’s injuries had been treated by Tang Sen, he decided to be careful and let her rest for a few more days.

Clearly, the Saintess had been recuperating well. “Mighty Divine Spirit, were you calling me?”

Tang Sen did not continue exchanging pleasantries with the Saintess and instead cut straight to the chase. “Go and inform the other tribes; get them to move to the city.”

Despite being surprised by his order, the Saintess did not voice her question at this moment.

However, Tang Sen said, “We’re now out in the open, while the Capricorn Tribe is hiding in the dark. It won’t be easy for us to charge toward them, so we might as well let them reveal their own tracks. Staying together with these tribesmen during this period of time is quite a good choice.”

After hearing his words, the Saintess agreed and retreated to prepare for those matters. No matter when, moving would always be a troublesome matter. To many, it was an unrewarding hassle.

But after the Saintess gave out those instructions, many tribes started moving as well, but they were all smaller and more vulnerable compared to the other tribes. They were too weak to resist the outside world’s risks, so they had to follow the Saintess’s orders no matter how difficult they were.

Although Tang Sen had already destroyed most of the Capricorn Tribe, the Capricorn Tribe was now like a behemoth to some weak tribes. If given a choice, none of the tribes would choose to stay after encountering such a matter.

Hence, these tribes began to migrate on a sizable scale. After all the tribes were gathered, the Wild Lion Tribe and Ferocious Tiger Tribe would be in charge of the smaller tribes’ safety, though that would be quite the hassle.

But it would definitely be considered a last resort that they could rely upon when they had no other solution against the Capricorn Tribe.
