"Once there’s been one defection, there will be a second. After dusa learned our pet-summoning battle song, there’s no guarantee they won’t slip away again!" Certain Sea Clan nobles with a long family history, such as the Cardiel Crocodile who suffered the heaviest losses in the last land-sea war, were particularly unforgiving of the forr hereditary chieftain.
"dusa only invented an invisibility pet battle song. Even without them, our five-pet sacrificial rituals are just as powerful. Why should we let these defectors learn so many new battle songs for a re six-pet sacrificial ritual?" Even King Sal, who typically prioritized the bigger picture, was unwilling to cooperate with the dusas. His internal loathing for traitors was a reason, but more importantly: "If we help these free-riding defectors now, wouldn’t it only add to their unruly power?"
"Aligning with dusa now is not a compromise but a necessary political maneuver! We must unite all forces that can be united now, and not let emotions get in the way of securing allies we can win over!" The Shaman of Divine Songs concluded at the round table in the most seasoned politician’s tone: "Settle scores in autumn if you must, but at least wait until autumn to settle the scores, right? It’s not even winter yet!"
The Beamon’s straightforward and resolute nature was such that, even with national defense under such strain, most of the higher-ups disagreed on accepting conditional help from traitors, and not even the persuasion of the Shaman of Divine Songs could sway them.
In the end, the resolution was forced through when the Shaman of Divine Songs made a bloody and grim comnt: With here, what is there to fear? At most, don’t let any of their priests return!
Of course, the Bonaparte dusa wouldn’t know these internal matters. They smilingly agreed to the conditions set by the Bimon Kingdom: All exiled alien snake-n were to be converted to Beamon nationality and sent to the Bimon Kingdom to reset the dusa tribe.
This exchange condition conveyed a ssage enough to be misconstrued by all dusas: The Bimon Kingdom finally acknowledged the independence of the dusa Kingdom!
After finalizing these terms one by one and resolving the differences between the nations, the equilibrium between battle songs and magic was no longer a distant dream. Once this dream transitioned into reality, the era when shamans ruled the world with a single magic pet would co to an end ————
With "battle pets," shamans could cause large-scale destruction on the battlefield, no longer envying or being jealous of mages’ strike coverage capabilities. "Command Aura" could also provide the Bimon Army with a remote controlled command system henceforth.
With "soul pets," shamans would have a sympathetic counterpart, a strong magic pet with formidable ntal power that could make continuous progress in magical cultivation within their lifeti, greatly enhancing the radiation aspect of the master-disciple band.
With "slaying pets," not only would shamans get a permanent "Lightning Shield" blessing, but old ace shamans with strong song power could break away from their biggest historical embarrassnts, gaining suicide pets strong enough to rival forbidden curse battles, possessing incomparable strategic deterrence. It wouldn’t necessarily need to be used, just having it to intimidate others would suffice.
With "invisibility pets," shamans would gain a specialized stealth ambush combat unit, ensuring victory in skirmishes or duels; similarly, the "Eyes of True Sight" that dispels the Invisibility Technique would also grant the Bimon army a qualitative leap in reconnaissance capabilities.
The appearance of "wild pets" not only provided shamans with a super at shield but, if a lifelong guardian knight could be found, it ant shamans would forever have a super-sized knight with multiple blessings from Glorious Aura as a lifelong follower ———— a war song beast and guardian knight, capable of expanding four to ten tis in size, were a celestial match. Under the ntal remote command of the shaman, such a massive war song knight was nearly invincible.
Just thinking about the bright prospects for future Sacred Altar sacrificial rituals was enough to make Beamon laugh out loud even in their dreams.
Actually, in terms of the value orientation of the "Spirit Communion Song," Beamon, the Dubins, and the Bonaparte dusa were equally eager; if the new battle pets of the Voodoo Giant and Snake-n had been discovered by Beamon in advance, it would certainly be Beamon rushing off to study now.
As the topmost sacrificial priest of the kingdom, Liu Zhankai understandably poured so cold water on the Beamon high-ups engrossed in beautiful fantasies — beautiful imaginations always stand in stark contrast to the harsh reality; what Beamon lacked to enable all priests of fighting age to possess six battle pets was neither hardware nor software, but ti.
Except for a single "Plant Pet Song" that relies solely on instruntal lody and can be quickly popularized, the remaining five dialect battle songs would take even a high priest at least a decade to fully master!
Now, with Helen’s help in war dance, the ti to popularize battle songs in a ten-year education system would certainly be greatly reduced, but it would still take at least two to three years ———— and that’s only for high priests with relatively outstanding learning abilities.
After all, most of the Beamon priests had only a singing foundation without having experienced rigorous professional dance training courses.
The Dubin Kingdom in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the dusa Kingdom on the faraway Bonaparte Continent didn’t have predators eying them nacingly; they could wait another hundred years if necessary, but would the Sea Clan and Demon Clan leave the Beamon another two to three years of preparation ti?
Dream on!
