Chapter 1247: “We”
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After figuring out that she did not have many options and bargaining chips, Meng Chao was her only hope. She took a deep breath and told him everything.
After her mother died, she had been threatened by the Holy Light Temple and the Organization of Wizardry. She had been forced to flee to Picturesque Orchid Lake.
It was to save her life.
But she also had a glimmer of hope.
Maybe after her father returned to his hometown, after ten or twenty years of development, he was already in a high position, in charge of the Panther Clan, and had a huge amount of resources.
Because she was only a “test subject,” Ice Storm did not expect her father to care about blood and family.
But if her father really became the leader of the Panther tribe, and was planning to secretly explore the sacred mountain, then she would have a chance to get revenge.
She would have a chance to sell the core clues about the sacred mountain’s temple for a high price in exchange for the possibility of revenge.
Of course, the ice storm was not stupid enough to directly go to the leopard clan’s habitat to look for her father.
Her experience as an “Experimental subject”made her mind as hard as steel. She would never let anyone control her fate, even if it was her father.
That was why she hid in the blood skull arena. On one hand, she honed her innate totem power, but she rarely showed it in the past twenty years. On the other hand, she was collecting information from the territory of the Gold clan, she wanted to know about her father’s recent situation and the high-level orcs’exploration of the sacred mountain.
As one of the top three glorious cities in Tulanze, the size of the city was second only to Black-corner city in Crimson Gold City. Of course, it was the best place to gather information outside of the territory of the Gold clan.
In the end, her totem power was quickly activated by the blood on the arena, and her combat strength surged at an incredible speed.
She also received the favor of the Arena Master Casavar, and she received a set of high-level totem armor, mithril Ripper.
However, the information from the territory of the Gold clan made her deeply confused and conflicted.
It turned out that her father didn’t seize the authority of the Leopard clan. Instead, he was hanging out with canus, the jackal, and indirectly latched onto the Lion King’s Horn of destruction.
This made the situation more complicated than it had ever been.
Compared to the lion and tiger clans, or even the Wolf clan, which had many people and strong troops, the leopard clan could only be considered a medium-sized ordinary clan within the Gold clan.
Even if they took the position of the “Leopard King”, it would be difficult for them to find and open the sacred mountain temple alone.
Therefore, it wasn’t that ice storm couldn’t understand her father’s choice.
However, her identity would be very awkward, and she wouldn’t dare to show herself in front of her father.
Her father must know that the clues like the map of the sacred mountain and the battle log that he stole back then weren’t complete.
Since ice storm’s mother was already dead, the most crucial clue must have been hidden on her.
Since his father knew this, canus the Jackal and the Lion King the Horn of destruction might also know this.
How would ice storm dare to appear in front of these vicious wolves?
Thus, ice storm was trapped in the blood skull arena.
Until he met Meng Chao.
“I don’t know what I want either.”
Ice storm spread his hands and said in a confused and unwilling manner, “If I’m Only ‘alive’, it seems to be letting down my talent and the secrets I carry.
“But if I want to seize the inheritance of the Holy Mountain Temple between the claws of the Lion King, the Tiger King, and the Wolf King… and uncover the secret of the remains of the big fireball, then I’ll make a deal with them. I’ll use the power of Turanze to return to the land of Holy Light for revenge, to fulfill my mother’s last wish, to control thousands of wizards instead of being controlled by them, to destroy the Holy Light Temple, and to let those holy light priests and mages have a taste of being burned to ashes by the flames — this seems to be far beyond my ability.
“If I hadn’t met you, I would have been tortured to death by Casanova.”.
“So, I’m willing to believe you. Please tell me — can you really make my dream come true by being a SH * t Stirrer?”
“Well…”
Meng Chao pondered for a long time and told the truth, “I don’t know. To be honest, your dream is indeed a little too ambitious. Whether it’s snatching food from the Tiger’s mouth, unifying the wizard organization, or defeating the Holy Light Temple, the difficulty is extraordinarily high!”!
“However, it’s an eternal truth to fish in troubled waters. If we can take advantage of the situation and fully stir up the conflict between the Lion King, Tiger King, and Wolf King, and completely stir up the chess game of the Holy Mountain Temple, we might even be able to get a few small fish. Even if we can’t monopolize the secrets of the Holy Mountain inheritance and the remains of the big fireball, as long as we can seize part of the inheritance and secrets, we’ll have the capital to continue playing, right?
“Besides, if you don’t take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and risk everything to survive, how long do you want to wait? Where do you want to hide?
“You must know that no matter which one of the Lion King, Tiger King, or Wolf King snatches the inheritance of the sacred mountain and ascends to the throne of the war chief, he will soon quell the chaos in Tu Lanze, unify the forces of the five major clans, and integrate thousands of high-level orcs into the same command and management system.
“When the time comes, unless you are willing to hide in the mountains and forests, live a life of raw meat and blood for decades, and stay away from the outside world, your Talent, your secrets, and your mother’s ambitions will all go to waste. Otherwise, aren’t you going to come out and face everything head-on?”
The last sentence moved ice storm.
Indeed, taking advantage of the fact that the throne of the ‘war chief’was still empty, the ambitious members of the five major clans and clans still had their own plans and were fighting each other in the open and in the dark.
Meng Chao and ice storm still had a chance to make use of the opportunity and even find a way out.
However, from historical experience, the fierce competition between the wolves, tigers, leopards, and Wild Boars and bulls wouldn’t last long.
As long as the true king was decided and led all the high-level orcs to swear blood as an alliance, at that time, Turanze would become an iron plate. Every warrior and every mandala fruit would be dug out, they would be used as war resources and thrown into the chess game formed by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
If one was unwilling to become a chess piece.
Now was the last chance!
Ice Storm made up his mind and clenched his fists.
Meng Chao laughed.
“That’s right. Just think that you’re dead in the Blood Skull Arena. You’ll live for another day, kill one more enemy, and discover another secret. It’s all for nothing.”
Meng Chao said, “Besides, our success rate is not as low as you think. We are not facing the ferocious wolves and leopards alone. Don’t forget that I have people behind me!
“Really. Trust me. As long as we can hold on a little longer, the troops behind me will come to our aid.
“It will be a power that you have never seen before, not even in your dreams!
“The smoke that our armored airships spew out is enough to cover the entire sky.
“The roar of our steel torrent is enough to shatter mountains and tear the Earth apart.
“Our multiple-barreled rocket launchers can make the giant cannons that the dwarves are most proud of turn into clumsy children’s toys.
“When our ten thousand cannons chime together, even the holy light temple will be shocked. Even the ninth-circle mages hiding in the magic tower will be terrified!
“Tell me, what are you afraid of with such a powerful force supporting you?”
When ice storm heard this, she could not help but laugh.
This laugh had greatly reduced the tense atmosphere just now.
“Why do I feel that you are even more unreliable and spouting nonsense than the priests of the sacred light temple and the witch doctors like Tu Lanze who are in a state of Madness?”
Ice storm muttered, but she did not reject the cooperation with Meng Chao.
She only had one last question left.
“There is one thing that concerns our strategy after we enter the Sacred Mountain. I have to figure out our attitude toward Lion King, Tiger King, and Wolf King.”
Ice storm said seriously, “As you said, you and your clansmen are enemies of the Sacred Light Shrine?”
“Well…”
Meng Chao Thought for a moment and said, “For the time being, most of my clansmen are not aware of the existence of the temple of Holy Light. Naturally, they are not hostile to each other.
“However, there is indeed an irreconcilable contradiction between our ideology and the ideology of the temple of Holy Light. At least, in the Legends of origin, we agree with the ‘theory of coming from the starry sky’of the Tulan Orcs rather than the ‘theory of gathering Holy Light’of the Temple of Holy Light.
“Like the Tulan orcs, we believe that above the blue sky and the white clouds above us is a sea of stars that is billions of times wider than the sky. Nothing can hide the existence of the Sea of stars, and there is no power that can stop our belief that we will explore the Sea of stars and return to it.
“Moreover, like the Tulan orcs, we don’t need to pray to the holy light to perform the extraordinary power that can destroy the world. Our ability to modify the world is a hundred times more powerful than the Tulan Orcs’.
“I think that even if we are not willing to be enemies with the Holy Light Temple, the Holy Light Temple will not tolerate the existence of a race with black hair and black eyes that can wield great power without praying. They will explore, modify, and build the world according to our will, right?
“Therefore, the conflict between us and the Holy Light Temple will always exist, and it will definitely break out.
“Once it breaks out, it will be the ultimate war where we will fight to the death with all our might!”
The decisiveness in Meng Chao’s words caused ice storm’s pupils to contract abruptly.
She could see that Meng Chao was sincere and filled with hostility and even… hatred towards the Holy Light Temple.
This made her even more confused.
“Then, I don’t understand.”
Ice storm asked, “Since your biggest enemy is the Holy Light Temple, why did you target ‘Jackal’Kanus in Tulanze?
“You should know that no matter how ambitious and cunning the ghoul dog is, it will be able to manipulate all the wolves, tigers, and leopards in its hands. It might even succeed in its plot and obtain the inheritance of the Holy Mountain, becoming the first war chief in the history of the Wolf clan.
“What he will do next is to march north and make an enemy of the temple of Holy Light!
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t ‘Jackal’Kanus be your natural ally? Why must you stop him?”
