Chapter 161: Active Submission! Cave Spiders Attack!

"Holy Maiden, the battle results have been tallied. In this battle we killed a total of 50,790 Lion Tribe warriors. On our side, eighty-nine were seriously wounded during the pursuit, but all have received treatment!"

In the City of Divine Miracle, a Fox Tribe warrior reported the situation to the fox woman Sister Qing Ling.

Sister Qing Ling nodded and said, "Let all warriors rest and reorganize for two days. In a while, we will launch the counterattack against the Lion Tribe!"

"Yes, Holy Maiden!"

In the temple, the fox woman Sister Qing Ling reported the results of this battle to Lin Yan through prayer.

Lin Yan was not surprised by these results.

However, the command ability the fox woman Sister Qing Ling had displayed in this battle still made Lin Yan regard her more highly.

So Lin Yan spent a considerable amount of divine power to bestow a high-level blessing upon her.

After this blessing, the fox woman Sister Qing Ling's magical talent improved considerably once again.

Sister Qing Ling had now reached a Fourth Rank mage, and was close to Fifth Rank, but there was still quite a gap compared to Meng Ying.

Her starting point was inherently lower than Meng Ying's, and on top of that, Sister Qing Ling usually had more matters to handle. Unlike Meng Ying, who meditated or trained whenever she was free, naturally she could not compare to Meng Ying.

But compared to other mages, Sister Qing Ling's speed was already quite terrifying!

Two days after this battle ended, the City of Divine Miracle welcomed several groups of guests!

The first to visit was the Wolf Tribe!

The Wolf Tribe's chieftain came in person; their purpose was very clear.

The Wolf Tribe wished to cooperate with the City of Divine Miracle to jointly attack the Lion Tribe. After taking down the Lion Tribe, they would split evenly the territories of the Lion Tribe and the former Tiger Tribe.

"Cooperate? Split evenly?"

The fox woman Sister Qing Ling looked at the Wolf Tribe chieftain and shook her head with a half-smile.

The Wolf Tribe chieftain said, "How about this — you can take seventy percent, we only want thirty percent."

The Wolf Tribe chieftain made a great concession.

The fox woman Sister Qing Ling deliberated for a moment and said, "Chieftain, please return. Allow me to consider it."

This was, in fact, a polite refusal.

Not to mention seven-three, even eight-two or nine-one, Sister Qing Ling would not agree.

The Wolf Tribe chieftain still had not given up and continued to persuade:

"Your victory in this battle largely relied on this City of Divine Miracle. If you attack the Lion Tribe, shifting from defending a city to besieging one, or even fighting in the open field, your advantage will be gone. I observe that your warriors number only thirty to forty thousand in total. Though the Lion Tribe has been defeated, their population is too large — adult Lionfolk need no training to become excellent warriors.

If you attack the Lion Tribe's territory, the Lion Tribe can still muster an army of over sixty thousand, or even more! Cooperating with us, our two forces combined can easily defeat the Lion Tribe!"

Although the Wolf Tribe chieftain had not witnessed the entire battle, he had learned the whole process from his subordinates and had a rough estimate of the City of Divine Miracle's strength.

Yes, the City of Divine Miracle's fame had now spread far and wide. Every faction in the Beastman Realm knew this city was called the City of Divine Miracle!

The fox woman Sister Qing Ling said, "The chieftain need not worry about that."

The Wolf Tribe chieftain said, "I know the Tiger Tribe's newly advanced Sixth Rank has joined you, and you also have a Sixth Rank archmage. Two Sixth-Ranks on the battlefield are indeed terrifying, but the Lion Tribe's old Lion King is also Sixth Rank. The Holy Maiden probably does not yet know — the Lion Tribe also has a mysterious and unfathomable High Priest. This High Priest has not appeared for many years; it is said he has been communicating with the gods and may even be able to borrow the power of the gods."

At this point, the Wolf Tribe chieftain glanced at the flame symbols everywhere in the reception hall and said:

"Of course, your god is equally formidable. But once the high-end combatants on both sides cancel each other out, the Lion Tribe's warriors' strength on an open battlefield will exceed your imagination!"

The fox woman Sister Qing Ling shook her head again: "Thank you, Chieftain, for the information. Attendant, see the guest out!"

The Wolf Tribe chieftain stood up and said, "Then I look forward to the City of Divine Miracle's performance!"

Having said that, he turned and left.

After the Wolf Tribe chieftain left, immediately, the Xiong Zu chieftain came to visit.

The Xiong Zu's strength was neither weak nor strong.

Their warriors were large in stature — even bigger than the Lionfolk — and individual combat ability was quite fierce. But their reproductive capacity was relatively low, their population was not large, and their numbers were sparse.

Moreover, they were too Cumbersome; they were terribly clumsy at cultivating crops. The whole tribe could only eat some fruits from the forest, living at the mercy of nature, and could not increase their population either.

What surprised the fox woman Sister Qing Ling was that the Xiong Zu actually took the initiative to offer to attach themselves to the City of Divine Miracle and were willing to become believers of the Lord of Flame!

"Our people often go hungry, but we are still very fierce in battle. Will the Lord of Flame take us in?"

The Xiong Zu chieftain said, blinking his pitiful little eyes.

After the Xiong Zu, another tribe was willing to become believers of the Lord of Flame and attach themselves to the City of Divine Miracle.

That was the Elk Tribe.

After gaining the addition of these two tribes, the City of Divine Miracle's strength increased considerably once again.

Immediately after, warriors from the two tribes began entering the Divine Miracle Wasteland. This counterattack against the Lion Tribe, they would also join!

Precisely because of this, the fox woman Sister Qing Ling postponed the counterattack against the Lion Tribe a little — the dwarven craftsmen had to work day and night forging armor for the newly joined Xiong Zu warriors!

Once clad in armor, these tall Xiong Zu warriors were no different from heavy tanks on the battlefield!

While the City of Divine Miracle was in full swing planning the counterattack against the Lion Tribe.

The Eight Dwarven Clans were still continuously migrating up to the surface.

Now the Eight Dwarven Clans had already migrated more than half of their population up, but there were still several tens of thousands of dwarves migrating in batches.

Greycastle.

Half of the people in all of Greycastle had already migrated away.

The Greycastle chieftain was still here overseeing the migration.

Dwarves streamed out of Greycastle through the passages on its cliff walls, heading for the surface.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a large number of faint, scattered sounds arose.

"Did you hear any sound?"

A dwarf asked.

"Seems like there is."

"Quick, throw the torches!"

A dwarf shouted.

At once, a dwarf hurled a torch up at the cliff face.

Then, the dwarf saw it — the cliff face was covered in dense swarms of spiders!

"Cave Spiders! Heavens, so many Cave Spiders — run!"

The dwarves fled one and all toward Greycastle.

These Cave Spiders were fairly fast, but there were far too many of them; before long, the entire cliff face was crawling with Cave Spiders!

Greycastle was completely surrounded by Cave Spiders!

The smallest of these Cave Spiders was the size of a washbasin, and the largest… was bigger than a dwarf!

The dwarves in Greycastle, seeing such a swarm of Cave Spiders, all turned deathly pale!
