The only reason the Tiger Tribe dared to challenge the Lion Tribe this time is that their chieftain suddenly reached the Sixth Rank.

Besides them, the old Lion King’s former Grand General, Reed, is also a Fifth Rank warrior. It is said the Lion King also has an elite force composed of one hundred Third Rank warriors.

I didn't expect that Centaur unit to be so formidable. Although the Dog-heads are filthy, they had at least ten thousand warriors. That Centaur unit rampaged through the Lion Tribe's territory for three days and fought so many battles, yet they still managed to wipe out the entire Dog-head tribe. Truly formidable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Eight Tribes began to speculate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, these people constantly had their subordinates send the news they witnessed back to their own tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later, the Lion Tribe's main force arrived at the small plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by this time, all the corpses of the Lion Tribe warriors on this small plain had been dragged away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, except for the Lion Tribe themselves, the other eight tribes did not know that a shocking battle with a casualty ratio of one thousand to zero had once taken place here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over sixty thousand Lion Tribe warriors filled the entire small plain.

The Cat Tribe still has over a hundred thousand people. Could they be risking a crossing through that Miasma Wasteland and the Mist Mountains to the human kingdoms? But why would humans accept them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Aldington, a Lion Tribe prince said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large group of princes had followed this war against the Centaurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaurs were far inferior to the Tiger Tribe, so in the eyes of these princes, this war was the best opportunity to pick up military merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all scrambled to come along; there were fully ten princes following beside Aldington!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send out scouts.
