"Not bad, this is common knowledge; what's the matter?"

"Then don't you all want to find a chance to wipe out the Feather God Tribe?"

"Huh??? What do you mean by that?"

Just thinking about it is one thing, but the Barbarian God Tribe cannot deny that the strength of these ground chickens is indeed not to be underestimated, not weaker than theirs; wanting to wipe them out is easier said than done.
