Chapter 461: La Si Tribe Attacks the Small Town

"So, think carefully—whether you want to cooperate or fight us to the death, I'll stay until the end."

Nan Qinghuan is being serious this time; she gives Jiguang no room to refuse. "Now I'm negotiating with you. If you disagree, the next people you'll meet will be Rongdi and Ying and their group. They were born as savages and won't reason with you. You know primitive tribes love plundering; then you'll suffer a loss greater than any gain."

After saying that, Nan Qinghuan turned to leave. This is her last chance; if this woman is clever, she'll agree to what she said, if not… then let's fight!

Sure enough, just as she was about to step out of the Cave, Jiguang's expression darkened, "Wait."

Hearing her say "wait," Nan Qinghuan sensed a turn; she curled her lips, turned, and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"You want me to agree to cooperate? Fine, I agree, but you and your man must accept one condition. If you do, we form an alliance. How does that sound?"

The words furrowed Nan Qinghuan's brow, yet she still nodded, "What condition? Speak it first."

At the fifth watch, the Small Town floated amid a sea of lanterns.

In the early‑morning forest, Qingfeng has already been training an army with Rongdi. Now that spring has arrived and all life revives, these troops' main task is training.

To be prepared for any eventuality.

Li Xiang also stood there watching Qingfeng and Rongdi train. Not to mention, he thought the proposal was excellent; if anyone came to raid, these troops could protect the Small Town.

However, he felt it was still not enough!

"Rongdi"

Rongdi, just finished training, was drenched in sweat. Seeing Li Xiang had been watching for a while, he grinned and stepped forward, "Anything?"

"I want to discuss something with you. Say, if someone attacks the Small Town, where should our people hide?"

"Hide where? What do you mean, aren't there Caves?"

"Those Caves aren't the best hideouts. I'm thinking, if war ever breaks out, our people need a safe place that can also be used for cooking—a win‑win."

"Don't worry, no one can defeat us."

Rongdi was confident; in his view, with such a powerful army now, no one could defeat them—impossible.

"That may not be so; I think we should first…"

"Trouble."

Suddenly, from not far away, Dashan's anxious voice rang out. Everyone turned toward it; Dashan's hurried demeanor was a panic none had ever seen.

"Rongdi, trouble—the La Si Tribe is attacking."

Hearing that the La Si Tribe had arrived, Rongdi remained unruffled, "Why rush? Since they're here, deal with them properly. What about Ying?"

"Ying has already gone, but their people are formidable; they've brought beasts that can't be killed. What do we do?"

Those words left Qingfeng and Rongdi stunned, and Li Xiang felt very frustrated.

Undead beasts? What's going on? Rongdi stayed unruffled; after all, he's a Beastman who has seen great events, so he knows those beasts well and thinks they're no problem.

"Undead, let me go take a look."

That day, the Common People of the Small Town were terrified, because they hadn't expected the La Si Tribe to arrive at dawn, and to bring the so‑called Beast Army.

Indeed, it was the Beast Army.

They had previously only imagined how to deal with the La Si Tribe, but they didn't expect that this time the La Si came with a horde of Beast Army; those beasts were massive and immediately injured many.

The Small Town's first defensive wall was about to be breached.

Bang bang bang… the tribesmen had thrown the gunpowder, but after it exploded, the beasts weren't killed and kept charging at the Small Town's walls.

The situation looked doomed.

Ying stood there with a complex expression, looking down. He held a Bow and arrow aimed at the beasts' eyes, then—swish swish swish… with a hissing snap, the long sword lunged at a beast. He had thought he could hit it, but the beasts managed to dodge on their own.

Then they roared toward them.

"Ying, what do we do?"

Ji Lei saw the situation below and was very worried; if these beasts couldn't be controlled, no matter how many troops they had, it would be useless.

Ying was about to speak when Rongdi and Yao came up behind him, "Ying, I've already dealt with the rear troops. Where did these beasts come from? We've never seen them before."

Yao had also never seen such terrifying beasts; they seemed tamed by humans, used for siege warfare.

But such killing devices had never been heard of on Jiuzhou Dadi; if such powerful weapons existed, their prepared strategies wouldn't have failed today.

They had gathered many people, assuming numbers would guarantee victory, but now it seemed that sheer numbers couldn't match these beasts.

What to do? Rongdi, watching the beasts below, seemed to understand something, "Could Luosang, that old fool, have asked the Tamed Beast Tribe for help?"

"Tamed Beast Tribe?"

Ying furrowed his brow. What is the Tamed Beast Tribe? He'd never heard of it. Rongdi nodded, "That's right, I'm aware of the Tamed Beast Tribe, but how does Luosang have the ability to enlist them?"

"Alright, Rongdi, stop pondering. How shall we deal with them now?"

Now they're facing beasts, not the La Si Tribe—what to do? Rongdi was about to speak when the beasts suddenly cleared a path, revealing a bare‑legged woman riding a massive elephant slowly toward them.

The woman wore a red garnet on her head and looked exceedingly seductive.

"Beast Tamer of the Tamed Beast Tribe"

Rongdi recognized her; the woman sat atop the towering elephant, lifted her proud head toward the men, and gave a smug smile that exuded confidence.

"Who is Ying? Come out for me!"
