Chapter 640 The storm is coming
In this catastrophe, naturally no one from the Crow People was spared and all were killed or injured.
At the same time, the fishmen living on the edge of the lake were also affected and suffered heavy casualties. It was truly a case of "when the fire started in the city, the fish in the pond were affected".
In the next ten days, Baru led his eight subordinates and carefully observed the five major tribes from a distance.
They were very cautious and did not dare to get too close for fear of exposing themselves.
However, as his observation deepened, Baru became more and more confused.
The tribes are busy building the temple, so the statues have not yet been completely obscured by the buildings.
Even when looking from a distance, it can be sure that the statues represent gods.
But what is puzzling is that the distances between these statues are extremely close, as if they are completely unconcerned about the influence of other divine powers in the area. It is really a bit incredible.
Twenty days later, Baru returned to his original territory with a heart full of doubts, and reported in detail to the high priest everything he had observed.
"High Priest, what the Crowmen said is true. These five newly descended gods do have a shallow foundation. Therefore, no matter what strategy we adopt, we need to make plans early."
The high priest fell into a brief silence, then turned his gaze to the captain of the temple warriors in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Baru answered without hesitation: "If there was only one god, we might be able to try to contact them. But they are five gods connected as one. The threat is too great. If we let it develop, the consequences will probably be far beyond our imagination."
"You mean..." The high priest frowned slightly.
"Only by striking first can we seize the initiative!" Baru said firmly, "We should quickly and with lightning speed nip the potential danger in the bud!"
The high priest nodded slowly after hearing this, but did not express his opinion immediately. He pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call Alina, Asedin and Buck. We need to discuss this matter together."
"Yes." Baru nodded in agreement and then turned and left.
This matter is indeed not something they can decide on their own. They must obtain the consent of another temple warrior captain, Asedin, and the two clan leaders, Alina and Buck.
The troll tribe is divided into two major branches, the Ba and the A.
The power comparison between these two branches is relatively balanced, and each has an outstanding temple warrior as captain.
The supreme high priest Biggins was personally selected by the gods and was highly respected by both tribes.
Although there are occasional minor frictions between the Ba and A tribes in their daily interactions, once faced with external problems, they will unite closely to defend their beliefs, the forest king Aurelia.
Five strange gods appeared only 3,000 kilometers away from the original territory. This is definitely an extremely serious external problem.
Therefore, upon learning the news, another temple warrior captain and two clan leaders immediately put down their current affairs and rushed to the temple as quickly as possible to discuss response strategies together.
The two major ethnic groups had a rare disagreement on whether to adopt Baru's proposal to take quick action to nip the potential threat from the five tribes in the bud.
The captain of the temple warriors and the clan leaders of the Ba tribe firmly advocated taking drastic measures and immediately sending troops to flatten the five major tribes, while the captain of the temple warriors and the clan leaders of the A tribe were more inclined to act cautiously, believing that they should make decisions after finding out the real situation.
"High Priest, according to the Crow People's narration, the five major tribes have developed to their current level of civilization in just three years. This is beyond our previous cognition." Baru's expression was extremely serious. "Therefore, we must not delay and must quickly and completely wipe them out with the force of thunder."
"Even if there is a threat, there is no need to rush." Asedin glanced at Baru lightly and said slowly, "We don't know the true strength of the five major tribes now. It would be ill-considered to launch an attack rashly."
Upon hearing this, Baru immediately retorted, "The Crowmen once invaded the five major tribes. Although they suffered heavy losses, they also found out the strength of the other side. It is not worth mentioning at all."
"Now that more than a year has passed, even if their strength has increased, it should not be enough to pose a threat to us."
"But if we continue to let it develop freely, the future results will be difficult to predict."
"Even if what the Crowmen say is true, it cannot be used as a basis for decision-making." The leader of the Crowmen, Alina, said cautiously, "Besides, we do not advocate letting them develop freely. Instead, before deciding to send troops, we must first thoroughly explore the true strength of the five major tribes and then make corresponding countermeasures."
At this time, the high priest Biggins, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up: "Alina, in your opinion, how should we find out the true strength of the five major tribes?"
"The method is actually very simple," Alina smiled confidently, "What resource is most abundant in the primeval forest? Naturally, it's the ferocious beasts."
"Therefore, we can select the leaders of several major ferocious beast tribes and, with the help of the oracle of the forest king Aurelia, have them explore the territories of the five major tribes."
"Do you mean to launch a beast tide?" Biggins heard the hidden meaning in Alina's words.
"That's right." Alina nodded, and then a puzzled look appeared on her face again. "According to the description of the Crow People, there was a very puzzling phenomenon when they invaded the five major tribes."
"The five major tribes did not use magic to fight back, but instead used a weapon made from a resource called Fire Crystal Ore to repel the invaders."
As it spoke, it turned its gaze to the other trolls present, "This is really unbelievable, so I insist that before we officially send out the troops, we must first find out the true power of their magic."
Hearing this, the leader of the Ba tribe, Buck, could not help but frown slightly. "If we want to issue the oracle of the forest king Aurelia, it will inevitably consume a huge amount of divine power, and this will undoubtedly weaken the power of the high priest."
"That's fine." Biggins waved his hand gently and said in a calm tone, "As long as the five major tribes choose to use divine power to fight back, they will also consume the divine power of the statue."
"And if they can easily resolve the attack of the beasts without using their divine power, then we will have to make long-term plans."
Baru and Buck looked at each other and tacitly said nothing more.
Using ferocious beasts to launch a beast tide to attack the five major tribes is indeed a brilliant strategy.
It can not only effectively test the opponent's true strength, but also ensure that one's own safety is not threatened.
