The messenger also told Vanni that the Axianu Salt Demon Tribe in the Saline-alkali Forest has been recruited by them, and the White Crow Wildman Tribe has also decided to participate in the attack on the Bimon Territory.
Vanni knew about the White Crow Wildman Tribe. Ever since they made contact with humans, they had replaced all their equipment with steel-made weapons and armor, which elicited envy from strong robbers in other tribes. In the eyes of the robbers, having steel weapons and armor made them knights. However, Vanni couldn’t understand why humans would only choose to partner with the dumbest and foolish wild people among the robbers, and not with the smart Green Demons ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel fire.net
As for the Axianu Salt Demon Tribe, Vanni had also heard of them. He knew that it consisted of about seven hundred Saline-alkali robbers, covered in salt shells, very fierce and courageous, and well-known as tough meat.
Every winter, some robber tribes in the wilderness would band together because of hunger, cross the Sanggan River, and attack the Bimon villages on the north shore. For Bimon Territory, located deep in the heart of the wilderness with only over a hundred guards, the Green Demon Tribe had no reason not to take a bite of this piece of meat now that the Razor Mountain Goblin robbers had gathered so many forces.
There were only some sporadic rocks near the Red Earth Highland, which were severely eroded. The Beamons had no time to build strong fortresses after crossing the river. Without the cover of a solid fortress, the robbers could take full advantage of their numbers, take over the Bimon Territory at once, and when he thought of the thrill of looting, Vanni’s heart pounded excitedly.
Vanni was also wondering why he, who did not have a very large tribe, was sought for this wonderful opportunity.
The explanation of the messenger was very pleasing to this Green Demon leader.
"Because you are the only robber tribe in the entire wilderness that has a Troll Shaman wizard, we have recruited a large group of Salt Demons that need the assistance of a Troll Shaman wizard. With the Bloodlust spell from the Troll Shaman and the strong bodies of the Salt Demons, the Bimon Territory’s Bimon Knights and terrifying mages will no longer be a threat." The messenger said.
The ogres are naturally slow to respond to elemental powers. This is also the case for the Forest Green Demons, who are mostly ogres. In fact, not only for them, even for other robber tribes, without any texts and teachings, only large-size robber tribes with several thousand members will possibly produce Shaman magicians.
Although the robbers’ Shaman wizards can only use a single "Bloodlust" spell, the robbers who have been buffed by the "Bloodlust" spell can explode with twice their usual combat power, so a tribe with a Shaman wizard can definitely earn the respect of other robber tribes.
The Fog City Green Demon Robber Tribe, though with only over three hundred adult warriors, has got three Shaman magicians in a row. It’s like having a dragon sacrificer in Bimon.
Among the three Shaman magicians under Vanni’s command, the eldest one has mastered the power of nature. He could use a wonderful divine art called "Thorn Light."
This divine art can help the Green Demon get closer to the color of plants and grow dense manes and hair on their bodies like tree roots.
Initially, the Green Demon leader thought this divine art was pure nonsense. However, on the way to meet Razor Mountain Goblin tribe after meeting with the Salt Demon robbers, their use of "Thorn Light" unexpectedly helped a lot.
Based on the amazing camouflage ability of "Thorn Light", the Forest Green Demons carried out a surprise attack on a camping human merchant group. With the help of Salt Demons who were almost invulnerable with salt armor, the mercenaries who had only three or four hundred men surrendered swiftly. They not only captured a large amount of goods and horses but also obtained a lot of weapons and armor. Especially the armor, which was what the robbers had been longing for.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the human merchant claimed that he had a boss-subordinate relationship with the White Crow Wildman Tribe and promised to bring the best weapons and armor to arm them next year, these humans would have definitely been taken along as provisions.
As a robber tribe that often has Shaman wizards and boasts intelligent factors, Green Demon leader Vanni knows how beneficial it is to tie oneself to a human dignitary. This would mean that his tribe could receive countless steel armors and fragrant malt wine, and would no longer need to brace the cold to find food in winter.
Maybe they could even get a couple of humans. During the recent surprise attack, the foolish Salt Demons had halved some seductive human women with a single blow, which made Vanni heartbroken.
That was the reason why he defied public opinion and let these merchants go.
If he didn’t believe in the words of the human merchant, it would just mean that there were a hundred more "provisions."
But if he believed in what the humans said, perhaps there would be a chance for the Fog City Forest Green Demon Robber Tribe to turn around next year.
The harvest this time was really abundant. These merchants carried a lot of Bimon specialties, such as sweet South Cross Star Forest honey, gorgeous fur, and dazzling armor and weapons.
He even found a small bag of Magic Crystals on these humans. Although this merchant group might become his boss in the future, Vanni couldn’t help his greed and took the Magic Crystals for himself.
With these Magic Crystals, the tribe’s Shaman wizards could have a decent staff instead of solely relying on Cherry Wood to use divine arts.
If it wasn’t for hearing how weak the defenses were in Bimon Territory, and the numerous beautiful humans there, Vanni could hardly wait to distribute the spoils with the Salt Demons and go back to his lair to sleep.
The speed of the captives and caravans slowed the robbers’ journey. After about five hours of marching, they finally entered the Troll Wasteland. The huge figure of Razor Mountain was flickering on the horizon, Xiang Pa had already set, dawn was about to come, and Vanni’s heart was full of satisfaction.
He was already thinking about how many belongings he would be taking back with him.
A thunderous hoof sound shattered all his dreams.
Answering two questions from the readers.
The Red Earth Highland is right next to the Sanggan River on the south bank. A sub-dragon sacrificer and a Holy Temple Knight could reach the destination by crossing the river, so why would they need any escort? Don’t underestimate the combat power of the Holy Temple Knights and sacrificers.
There is no population limit for the citizens within the territory. Who would say that any population over a thousand would need to be slaughtered? A population of one thousand refers to the minimum requirement. This is the Temple’s spiteful rule against Old Liu.
