Chapter 110
"I was entrusted by my mother to deliver a letter. Originally this letter should have been given to Auntie Ellie, but now it seems giving it to you, Sister Qing Ling, should work, right?"
The fox clan and the cat clan, for certain reasons, share one common trait.
That is, in these two clans, the status of females is higher than that of males.
Therefore the cat clan's clan leader is also a woman.
As for the Black Fox clan, it is an exception.
A letter!
The fox woman Qing Ling nodded.
Princess Lottie took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to the fox woman Qing Ling, and then said:
"Mother said this letter is of great importance, and I cannot read it either, so I haven't read it."
The fox woman Qing Ling took the letter, then tore it open and began reading.
Princess Lottie was very self-aware and did not curiously sneak a peek!
That letter was very long; Qing Ling spent quite a bit of time before finishing reading it.
After reading the letter, Qing Ling began to think.
The contents of this letter were beyond Qing Ling's expectations!
Because Princess Lottie's mother, that is, the cat clan leader, was actually preparing to relocate the entire clan!
The reason is simple!
Recently the cat clan has been suppressed rather miserably!
Moreover the cat clan is very likely to face a great calamity!
This great calamity comes from the "royal clan" of the beastmen nation — the lion clan.
Cats and tigers actually share the same ancestry and origin, so the cat clan and the tiger clan have always been very close.
The relationship between the two clans is very good.
In the past, under the tiger clan's care, the cat clan lived quite comfortably.
At least, much better than the fox clan!
In the beastmen nation east of the Mist, the lion clan reigns supreme and can command all the beastmen tribes.
Yet in recent years the tiger clan has been developing better and better, with more and more people, already threatening the lion clan's position.
Added to that, the tiger clan also has the intention of replacing the lion clan, so the friction between the two clans has grown greater and greater.
Until a month ago, a large-scale war finally broke out between the two clans.
Beastmen tribes don't communicate much with each other ordinarily; the mountains are high and the waters distant, and many things take quite a while to spread. Combined with the fact that the Miracle Wasteland has been developing at full strength lately, Qing Ling is not very clear about the war between these two clans.
But now, she knows.
The war that lasted a month ended with the tiger clan's defeat.
The tiger clan's great army was wiped out by the lion clan.
The remaining tiger clansmen, seeing the situation was bad, fled to the Endless Desert in the east.
It can be said that in this battle, the tiger clan was utterly uprooted!
The lion clan is still hunting down the tiger clan's remaining forces, to prevent the tiger clan from making a comeback and returning to take revenge on them.
And in this war, the cat clan actually also secretly sent people to help the tiger clan.
The cat clan walks without a sound and can see at night; many cat clan warriors helped the tiger clan scout enemy intelligence, providing the tiger clan with information.
The cat clan leader worried that once the lion clan finished mopping up the tiger clan's remaining forces, the Kongpajiu Society would turn against the cat clan!
The cat clan's strength is far inferior even to the tiger clan's — how could they contend with the lion clan?
The lion clan, which can command all beastmen tribes, is by no means ordinarily powerful!
Therefore, the cat clan leader sent her own daughter over. The purpose is simple: she knows the White Fox tribe lives near the Miracle Wasteland.
Of course, the cat clan leader still thinks the Miracle Wasteland is that wasteland crawling with poisonous bugs!
The cat clan leader hopes the White Fox clan can assist her daughter, helping to scout out the situation in the Miracle Wasteland.
Yes, the cat clan leader is actually preparing to develop the wasteland crawling with poisonous bugs!
One must know that in the past, no beastmen clan was willing to come develop this wasteland.
The poisonous bugs inside are too terrifying.
These poisonous bugs actually don't have much strength.
It's just that their toxicity is strong and their numbers are great.
And they're not easy to spot.
Even some powerful beastmen can easily fall victim.
If they were to develop it with the whole clan, before development was finished, probably more than half the clanspeople would be lost.
One must know that this wasteland previously still had miasma in it!
Yet to preserve the cat clan, the cat clan leader actually plans to cut a path through that wasteland, then develop the other side of the wasteland as the cat clan's new place of residence.
In case the lion clan attacks, the wasteland can block the lion clan.
The reason for choosing this wasteland is, first, the reason mentioned above, and another reason is that it is very far from the lion clan — a full distance of over a thousand li.
At such a great distance, the lion clan may not be willing to come hunt down the cat clan, which poses no threat to them.
One must know that in the war with the tiger clan, the lion clan's expenditure was also not small.
And in this nation, the clans that pose a threat to the lion clan are not only the tiger clan.
But if the cat clan does not relocate the whole clan, it is certain that the lion clan would wipe them out in passing.
Moving farther away, and posing no threat, only then is there a certain chance the lion clan might let them go.
It's only a certain chance, that's all.
After all, the Lion Tribe might also choose to make an example of someone!
But shouldn't the Cat Tribe at least put up a last-ditch struggle?
Only, the Cat Tribe chieftain probably hadn't expected that this stretch of wasteland had already been set ablaze by Lin Yan, and then turned into incomparably fertile black soil, becoming a god-bestowed land!
The Cat Tribe chieftain also mentioned one thing in the letter.
That was, recently, some evil underground creatures had for some reason found an exit on the Cat Tribe's territory, and kept coming up to the surface to cause trouble, so the Cat Tribe chieftain's plan to relocate also had the reason of being threatened by the underground creatures.
This matter was of great importance, so the Cat Tribe chieftain urged in the letter that it absolutely must not be leaked!
Because now the Lion Tribe, seeing that the Cat Tribe showed no movement, had no time to bother with the Cat Tribe, saving the settling of accounts for after the autumn harvest.
But if they learned of the Cat Tribe's plan, they might very well settle accounts right now!
After reading this letter, the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling fell silent.
Princess Lottie sat there quietly; she had a head of white hair, with two small braids tied in it, looking especially cute.
Judging from how she hadn't asked about the letter's contents until now, she could actually restrain her curiosity very well.
This was a cat-eared princess who seemed obedient, and in fact was also very obedient and sensible!
After a while, the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling said softly, "Someone come."
"Holy Maiden, what are your orders?"
A maid walked in.
The fox-woman Sister Qing Ling said, "Go invite Holy Maiden Mengying, my mother, the Centaur Tribe chieftain and Holy Maiden, and the Dwarf Queen to come discuss matters."
"Yes, Holy Maiden!"
That maid withdrew.
Seeing this, Princess Lottie said, "Sister Qing Ling, I'll go wander around the city. This city is too amazing; I haven't seen enough of it yet."
She really is so sensible!
The fox-woman Sister Qing Ling nodded.
The upcoming discussion might involve some secrets of the Miracle City; Lottie really wasn't suitable to be here!
Princess Lottie left.
She really did want to go wander around the Miracle City.
