Chapter 253: Meng Ying

"Tomorrow is the last day—has the Wolf Clan replied yet?"

In the divine temple, Meng Ying asked.

The fox woman Qing Ling said: "Not yet!"

"I'll go. You stay behind and hold the fort!"

Meng Ying stood up.

"Fine!"

The two women's division of labor was clear.

Meng Ying set out with Mia and a thousand winged warrior tribesmen!

Few among the winged tribe could use magic.

So these winged warriors carried only bows and spears.

After deepening their faith in Lin Yan, these winged warriors could now use Explosive Spears and Explosive Arrows.

Attacking from the sky, they held a natural advantage.

Even if their arrows ran out, they could still pick up their spears and fight!

Of course, their quivers were specially made, ensuring arrows would not fall out no matter how they flew.

These thousand winged warriors were the mighty air force of the City of Miracles.

A female winged warrior carried Meng Ying at the very front, flying in a vast, thunderous column toward the Wolf Clan's territory.

As they neared the werewolf territory, Meng Ying ordered all winged warriors to rest for a while in the dense forest before setting out again with the entire force.

"Chieftain, it's the last day—what do we do?"

On Wolf Clan land, the werewolf strategist asked.

"Has the Snake Clan given any response yet?"

The Wolf Clan chieftain asked.

The werewolf strategist shook his head: "Probably not yet."

Just as the Wolf Clan chieftain was about to speak, she saw a dense swarm of winged warriors flying toward them from the sky.

"Winged ones! The City of Miracles has come!"

The werewolf strategist was startled.

These winged warriors were vastly different from before—they all wore uniform armor, armor that was not heavy yet offered excellent protection, gleaming neat and bright under the sunlight!

Then the werewolf strategist saw Meng Ying on the back of that female winged warrior!

"It's the City of Miracles's Archmage!"

The werewolf strategist was startled.

The arrival of this winged force also drew the attention of countless werewolves; soon, tens of thousands gathered near the Wolf Clan chieftain.

In the sky, Meng Ying did not descend, as if waiting for the werewolves to assemble.

When she saw over ten thousand werewolves below, she tapped the female winged warrior.

The female winged warrior slowly descended to about one hundred meters above ground, and Meng Ying looked down upon the Wolf Clan chieftain from above.

"Chieftain, it's the last day—what is your answer?"

As soon as Meng Ying arrived, she cut straight to the point.

The Wolf Clan chieftain had once submitted to the Lion Clan but refused to give any clear response to the City of Miracles; many in the City of Miracles, including Meng Ying, were dissatisfied!

In truth, the Wolf Clan chieftain's mindset was not complicated.

The Wolf Clan was not weak; werewolf combat strength was only slightly inferior to that of individual Lion Clan and Tiger Clan warriors.

The City of Miracles, however, was composed of several relatively weak races from the beast-people nations.

Aside from the centaurs, its main forces were the fox-people and the cat-people.

So although the City of Miracles had defeated the Lion Clan, the Wolf Clan chieftain believed it had won through cunning, relying on high-end combat power.

To make the Wolf Clan, which had once been many times stronger than the fox-people and cat-people, submit to them would mean losing all current power—and naturally, she was unwilling.

Besides, when they had submitted to the Lion Clan before, the Lion Clan never truly controlled them; each clan had in fact ruled itself.

But the City of Miracles now clearly intended to build a unified nation, centralizing all power under itself!

The Wolf Clan chieftain would never agree!

The Wolf Clan chieftain had not expected Meng Ying to be so aggressive from the start, asking the question outright.

The Wolf Clan chieftain said: "Our clan still needs time to deliberate—could you grant us a few more days?"

"Ten days have passed—haven't you decided yet?"

Meng Ying looked at her with a faint, mocking smile.

Without giving the Wolf Clan chieftain another chance to speak, Meng Ying's voice turned cold:

"Submitting to the City of Miracles and being bathed in the Glory of the Flame Lord is no hardship—go see the Miracles Wasteland, where tribes allied with the City of Miracles live far better than before, by a thousandfold or more. Your reluctance to submit is because you fear losing your power, isn't it?"

She laid bare the Wolf Clan chieftain's true intentions.

The Wolf Clan chieftain would never admit it—she was about to deny it—when Meng Ying's voice rang out again:

"By midday today, if no answer is given, that mountain shall be your example!"

With that, Meng Ying sharply pointed her staff at a nearby thirty-meter-high hill.

Immediately, dense fireballs descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

These fireballs slammed into the hill, blasting rock shards flying and reducing the hill's height by several meters…

Then flames erupted, melting even the stones—lava flowed across the entire hill!

Scorching heat rushed over, searing the air!

This scene terrified the tens of thousands of werewolves present.

If Mengying had unleashed such an attack into the middle of the wolf pack earlier, she could have killed at least over a thousand werewolves!

And after Mengying executed that strike, her face didn't flush and her heart didn't race, with not the slightest hint of weakness visible — doesn't this mean Mengying can still unleash attacks of this magnitude?

The Werewolf Chieftain's eyes narrowed as well.

It had not yet reached To Sixth Rank, being only at Fifth Rank.

Regarding Mengying's power, it had only heard of it and had never seen it with its own eyes.

But now, it had seen it.

This was... an irresistible power.

If Mengying wanted to kill it, it couldn't block and couldn't escape!

After Mengying finished executing that strike, she sat on that female winged person's body and spoke no more.

Time passed bit by bit, the sun climbing three poles high.

Only one or two hours remained until noon.

Seeing the final deadline almost upon them, the Werewolf Chieftain finally spoke with difficulty: "The Wolf Clan is willing to submit and believe in the great Lord of Flames."

"That's more like it. Five days from now, I need to see every member of your clan appear on the Miracle Wasteland."

After tossing down these words, Mengying left the Wolf Clan's territory directly.

The reason for giving a five-day deadline was that Mengying wanted all the Wolf Clan members to see the Miracle City with their own eyes — only when these Wolf Clan people had been to the Miracle City and witnessed its wonders would they naturally believe in the great Lord of Flames.
