Chapter 585: Chapter 386: Invisible Battlefield
Central South Wilderness, Vine Tribe Council Hall.
Jiang Xuan, Jing Jie, Shi Qiu, Feng Chao, and several newly promoted leaders sat together, the atmosphere a bit tense.
Jiang Xuan was the first to speak: “Let’s talk about the difficulties the tribe has encountered recently. Shi Qiu, you go first.”
Shi Qiu said seriously: “Leader, our territory in the central area is expanding, and the clan mbers are increasing, but we have too few Witch Doctors. The clan mbers who fall sick or get injured receive no effective treatnt, and many can only endure.”
“The second issue is that the volu of our trade goods in the central area is increasing. The clan mbers responsible for trading and statistics are becoming insufficient, and the trading process is sowhat chaotic.”
Jiang Xuan replied, “I have already inford the Witch about the shortage of Witch Doctors. Soon, the Witch dical College will send a group of skilled Witch Doctors to solve the treatnt difficulties.”
“Regarding the trade area issue, I will notify Leader Dong Kui to select a group of capable people from the northern trading area. Not only do we need to solve the current issues, but we also need to establish new trading areas for more inter-tribal trade in the future.”
Then, Shi Qiu and several other leaders ntioned so urgent issues the tribe is facing, and Jiang Xuan offered solutions and answers to each.
When it was Jing Jie’s turn to speak, he said gravely, “The biggest problem our fleet encounters is the issue of ship hijacking during navigation.”
“Everyone should know about the Black Snake Tribe. If not for the Vine God’s protection, both of our large ships, along with all the warriors aboard, would have been in danger.”
“Once the Black Snake Tribe tastes success, other tribes will certainly follow suit, making our waterway transportation extrely dangerous, even impossible.”
Jing Jie’s words weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts, and they felt a lot of pressure.
If it were a small or dium-sized tribe, they would unhesitatingly suggest the leader launch an attack, eliminating the threat directly and serving as a warning to other tribes.
However, the Black Snake Tribe is truly a large tribe. They had witnessed its formidable combat power when they were in the north.
If war breaks out, it could be a fight to the death.
The Vine Tribe has just gained a foothold in the central region, with only half of the tribal warriors here, the other half being far in the Northern South Wilderness. To initiate war rashly is definitely not a good idea.
For a mont, everyone exchanged glances and finally focused on Jiang Xuan.
Whenever the tribe faced a major crisis, Jiang Xuan always made the right decisions, leading the tribe out of danger and even becoming stronger.
They believed this ti would be no different.
Jiang Xuan leaned back in his chair, slightly tilted his head, and closed his eyes slightly, his right index finger rhythmically tapping the armrest.
After a mont, he finished thinking and reopened his eyes, saying resolutely, “We can’t go to war directly. Even if we defeat the Black Snake Tribe, we will suffer heavy losses, and other tribes will take the opportunity to attack.”
Jing Jie said worriedly, “But even if we don’t go to war, the Black Snake Tribe won’t give up easily. Next ti, they’ll co prepared, and we might not be able to deal with them.”
Jiang Xuan, confident, said, “Rest assured, although we won’t go to war directly, we won’t let the Black Snake Tribe have an easy ti either, nor will we allow them to hijack ships again.”
“Feng Chao, stay. Everyone else, please return for now.”
Seeing Jiang Xuan’s confidence, Jing Jie said no more, trusting that the leader would handle the matter well.
Except for Feng Chao, others got up and left the council hall in twos and threes.
“Creak… bang…”
The council hall doors closed, and the room suddenly dimd.
When everything quieted down, Jiang Xuan asked, “Feng Chao, how much intelligence does your Thorny Vine have on the Black Snake Tribe?”
Feng Chao stood up with sha: “The Black Snake Tribe has only recently arrived in the central area, and the Thorny Vine didn’t promptly grasp their movents. The fleet nearly suffered heavy losses, and that was Thorny Vine’s oversight. Please punish , leader.”
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, motioning for Feng Chao to sit down: “Since the Black Snake Tribe only recently ca to the central area, it’s normal you couldn’t track them. Why punish you?”
“Tell about the recent information you’ve gathered on the Black Snake Tribe.”
Feng Chao said, “Leader, we captured a mber of the Black Snake Tribe in the past two days and learned from him that the Black Snake Tribe was t with hostility and expulsion by several large tribes when they entered the central area from the north. They could only continue south into the southern region.”
“After reaching the southern region, they had conflicts with the Rhino Tribe, Elephant Tribe, and Tiger Tribe, suffering significant casualties and failing to seize a sufficiently large territory. Desperately, they returned to the central area and settled in a more secluded place.”
Jiang Xuan pondered, “So, the Black Snake Tribe is no longer as strong as it once was?”
Feng Chao nodded: “They have been migrating constantly and clashing with each tribe along the way. Their strength has certainly decreased significantly, but the exact situation requires more ti to investigate.”
Jiang Xuan thought for a mont, then said, “Feng Chao, from today on, except for those who must stay in respective large tribes, take the other Thorny Vine mbers into the Black Snake Tribe’s territory yourself.”
“I don’t care what ans you use, be it arson, murder, bribery, or incitent. Whatever it takes to stir chaos within the Black Snake Tribe, making them too occupied to disrupt our shipping. Simultaneously, continuously weaken their strength.”
“Soon, our Vine Tribe’s strength will completely surpass the Black Snake Tribe, and by then, we’ll settle both old and new scores, eradicating them in one fell swoop!”
“Bang!”
Jiang Xuan finished, slamming his fist on the table, his eyes filled with murderous intent, exuding an overwhelming aura!
“Yes, leader, the Thorny Vine will certainly make the Black Snake Tribe suffer!”
Feng Chao was invigorated, a flicker of murderous intent in her eyes as well.
As the Thorn Vine Leader, not promptly tracking enemy movents was a great humiliation for her.
This humiliation must be washed away with the blood of the Black Snake Tribe.
“Creak…”
The council hall doors reopened, and as the light poured back in, Feng Chao and Jiang Xuan walked out together.
At this point, their expressions had returned to calm, with no trace of murderous intent in their eyes.
Especially Feng Chao, who already looked harmless and was hard for anyone to feel hostile toward once the murderous intent was hidden.
Feng Chao left the tribe with Jiang Xuan’s instructions, quickly rging into the vast forest.
Soon, an invisible net enveloping the central area slowly began to tighten, moving toward the Black Snake Tribe to eradicate it.
