Murdering low-level tribes was indeed very easy. Given Du You’s current magic power, he could wipe out countless Beastman gathering points in a single day. As long as they were discovered by him, there was no need for them to exist anymore.
With the spread of the poison, followed by fire, the camps of the Half-Beastn and the Boarn would be burned to ashes. There would be nothing left to tell of their existence, not even their corpses or food supplies.
Even if a limited number of corpses did remain, they would quickly beco food for other creatures, being left out in the open. No matter how many he slaughtered, there would always be a shortage of food for the Beastn.
The Beastn, who were already dealing with a food crisis, now experienced even more internal chaos.
Many Beastn began hoarding food in secret, which led to a burgeoning food crisis in their city. The price of food on the market soared while the quantities dwindled.
Even the hunters who ventured out depleted the reserve of fauna that managed to survive the initial massacre.
If Du You were to find out about this, he would be extrely pleased as this was a vicious cycle in motion.
While Du You massacred ordinary Beastman bases, he sotis encountered small Beastman armies. Those were the ones that had been sent out earlier to search for him, and had not yet obtained the latest information.
As a result, anyone who crossed paths with Du You t the sa fate as those from the Beastman Tribes whom he’d massacred earlier. They ended up being either poisoned or burned to death. In just a day, it was unknown how many had been killed by him.
An exhausted Du You and Xiaozi stopped to rest, finding a secluded place to recover. The Cursed Crow King had already beco his very own alarm clock and warning bell, now devoid of any other use.
As for the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, because of their large size, they could not be released at night for protection. What was needed for night-ti rest was absolute concealnt; if the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs were let out, it was highly likely that their location would be discovered.
With Du You’s movents, the Beastman city beca increasingly chaotic. Many tribes ran towards the Beastman city, seeking help and refuge. However, there was limited space in the city, and with already high stress levels within.
As a result, all pleas for help were rejected, leaving the Boarn and Half-Beastn outside the city in increasing numbers. Even the number of humans mingling amongst them started to grow. Unfortunately, with their increasing numbers and diminishing food and resources, the savage nature of the Beastn was laid bare.
Outside the city, where evil lood every night, violence and looting began to happen even during the day. The area outside the Beastman city had turned into a living hell.
At this point, the Beastman ssenger finally arrived at Border City.
"What do you all think? Things are pretty chaotic with the Beastn." The lord of Border City said with a smile on his face.
"We must stop these actions as the Beastn have requested, otherwise, war will break out. We do not currently have the capacity to deal with another Beastman war, so we must stop," a noble representative roared.
"Why should we stop? Du You is doing a great job. We have always been bullied by the Beastn, and now it’s finally their turn. Well done, I fully support him to continue," a military officer countered.
All the generals seed to share this opinion of Du You’s actions though differences in opinion still existed.
"I think we can observe for a while longer. If Du You can continue wreaking havoc, according to the current situation, the Beastman city definitely won’t hold out. At that ti, we can directly send our troops and capture Beastman City. If Beastman City falls, their southern invasion will beco extrely difficult, and we will be much safer."
The noble representative widened his eyes: "What did you say? Capture Beastman City? What are you thinking of doing next? Do you also want to establish a new kingdom in the north like the people in Wood Shield City?"
Hearing this, many of the nobles’ expressions subtly changed. Setting up a new kingdom in the north didn’t sound like a bad idea. If they were to support this, they could take credit for this significant contribution.
If the kingdom were to be successfully established, their statuses and fiefdoms would rise, and their families would benefit greatly. This seed especially tempting for so of the less regarded nobility.
Those who were sent here, to the northern borders, were largely lesser mbers of noble families. They were unlikely to inherit family titles and gaining land through military rit was equally difficult. But they were not content with this, and this seed like an excellent opportunity, if successful.
Before they could consider further, the city lord spoke: "How could that be possible? Even if we successfully established a kingdom, could we withstand the retribution of the Beastman Empire without the Empire’s support?"
This argunt seed convincing, and those who were initially enthusiastic felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.
"Then, what should we do, my lord? This situation cannot continue," one of the nobles proposed.
After thinking for a while, the city lord said, "I agree with Luo Ha’s perspective. We can observe for so ti, capturing Beastman City is not a bad idea. We don’t need Beastman City; we can simply hand it over to the empire. At that ti, with a city as a buffer in front of Border City, we will be much safer."
"But what about the Beastn? How do we deal with them? They are ready for war. We all know how crazy the Beastn can be."
The city lord laughed, "Haha, what has this got to do with us? We didn’t send anyone to deal with the Beastn, and we haven’t mobilized any troops. We have no connection to this."
"Lord, you an...." many people seed to realize sothing.
"Du You violated military orders and attacked recklessly, he should be expelled and punished, and stripped of all positions and titles in Border City. As for the Beastn, they can deal with it in any way they see fit."
"But if he succeeds, wouldn’t that punishnt be too harsh?" a general asked.
The city lord shook his head, "As a warrior, sotis it is necessary to endure so injustice. If he succeeds, it will be a major achievent and compensation will be offered upon return. Moreover, Du You is a good soldier, he won’t take it too hard."
"In that case, let’s respond to the Beastn as per this plan. However, I suggest that we should always be prepared for war with the Beastn." Finally, even the noble representative compromised.
With the nobles no longer hindering, the entirety of the plan started to progress more smoothly. At present, the entire Border City was united, and all conflicts were temporarily suppressed in front of the massive potential benefits.
