Lord of the Truth

Chapter 470 True Plan

”Who said anything about them being aliens? Who said they want to colonize our world? That Robin is just a psychopath who thought that he and his minions are strong and that they could get out of whatever hole they slithered out of and get themselves new fertile lands, but… Hmph! Today we are going to show him the true strength of the Northern Fury tribe.”  Fugon yelled at Ellis when he heard a tone of sarcasm in her words, then turned back to look in front of him and said with eyes shining with killing intent, ”And who said...That I submitted to his words and am here to fight as his vassal?”

Ellis was so shocked by the last few words that she pulled the beastʼs bridle under her, making it stop causing minor accidents behind her, but she quickly apologized to the sages behind her and hurriedly came back to advance beside her father, ”Really, Father? We are here to attack? Then why didnʼt we take a more practical battle formation? Why did you order the expansion of the formations to appear larger and order all the soldiers to release their auras like this? I thought you wanted to look valuable to that rascal Robin!”

”Hmph! So you donʼt know your father well...” Fugon blew a breath of hot air and looked ahead, not adding another word.

But the Crow looked at Ellis and the rest of the Sages present and spoke, ”Listen, everyone, We are already on the verge of ascending the Steep Hill, and itʼs time to tell you about the plan. the main purpose of coming here like this is to pressure Robin to be more reasonable and make him further negotiate with Brother Fugon as equals, if he reasoned under pressure and promised a 50% share of the spoils to Brother Fugon, then everything will be fine, and we will have an extra tribe in the alliance!”

”And if he is not convinced? You have not seen that person... He is trying to hide what is in his heart under covers of sarcasm, indifference, and sad tone, but deep within his eyes I can clearly see his Megalomania.” Ellis shook her head as she gritted her teeth, ”He is f*ckinʼ crazy and thinks that he is the greatest man alive, I can see it! And this mindset prevents him from seeing reality, even though we are as strong as he is, he sees us as trash! Argh, that is unbearable!! Even without the need for any new lands I just want to put his nose in the dirt!!!”

”Then that is alright too! If heʼs not convinced, then he will sign the final chapter for his tribe, hehe!” the Fat Rat laughed slyly, ”If he still tries to subdue the Northern Fury Tribe and doesnʼt see the reality, then Brother Fugon will order to attack the steep hill and destroy whatever he can destroy!”

”What?! But.. You didnʼt see them, Mr. Scharver! They really are delusional and think they are much stronger than they really are, but that is not without foundation. It is true that we have a chance of victory as we mobilized every soldier we have, but they are still extremely strong. It is impossible for us to defeat them without destroying at least half of our army!!” One of the Sages in the procession suddenly shouted, Footage of the battles he had fought alongside the Golden Battalion started to present themselves in front of him, he definitely didnʼt want to be their enemy!

”Who said anything about victory or defeat?” The Hoopoe spread its wings and spoke, ”That arrogant man has allowed you to approach his home without a single soldier in sight watching your movements, youʼve almost reached the hill and not even a small armed squad is watching your armyʼs movements! If Brother Fugon orders a surprise attack you will be able to destroy their supplies and weapons stores and You might kill quite a few of them before they can even react, then you quickly withdraw!”

”Withdraw?! This...” Another Sage scratched his head in stupefaction. 

Will the new tribe just allow them to leave?? Would they not be able to follow them and attack them behind the trenches, for example?

”Hmph, Tree Father Hoffenheim sees everything that happens within his Domination Circle. When he sees the damage we have caused to those strangers, he will surely attack them to remove this new threat. As for us, we will return to defend from behind the trenches and watch them kill each other. Perhaps we will seize the opportunity and take out Both after weakening each other.” Fugon looked excited the more he spoke, ”That arrogant person thinks he can fight Tree Father Hoffenheim alone? He thinks he can control us, the human alliance, with a few words. Today if he didnʼt know his true worth, he wouldnʼt escape death!”

When Ellis heard this her eyes started to light up for the first time in a week, all the Sages beside her also looked at each other happily.

They came convinced that their leader decided to follow Robin, but it turns out that their leader has such a plan!

Only Fugon, the Crow, the Hoopoe, and the Fat Rat did not share their happiness with the rest of the Sages but contented themselves with looking at each other with worried looks covered by fake confident smiles...

Attacking the golden army and then fleeing... Isnʼt that easier said than done?

If it were that simple, he would have ordered it from the start and not tried to show off his army and negotiate with Robin for a higher status!

The first two days after meeting Robin, Fugon almost accepted the first choice and stay his place in peace, but then he found the chiefs of the three closest tribes communicating with him and asking for reports on what was happening, and when he told them about the choices that Robin gave him, they tried to persuade him to fight back against him to the end!

Saying that Robinʼs demeanor is the style of someone who wants to take over everything he sets his sights on and that he will inevitably return to subdue the Northern Fury Tribe even if they remain spectators.

And thatʼs what Fugon thought too... But what can he do?

The other three clan chiefs who sent their avatars to attend the meeting with Robin, are just an appearance to pressure Robin to change his ways and maybe promise him to enter the alliance, they simply canʼt help with anything. 

Thatʼs because there is at least one Tree Father Domination Circle between each of the 15 tribes. if their armies can cross the Domination Circles to reach the nearest human tribe they would have done it since time immemorial, why would they wait until now?

So they canʼt be sent their armies, nor can they come in person, they really just came to put on a show...

And honestly speaking... there is no certainty that any of them would help even if they could, Fugon knows this well.

So after communicating with the three of them in the end, they came up with this plan, either to deal like equals or to give a fatal blow and then withdraw and defend from behind the trenches while letting the Tree Father have his fun finishing them off.

Fugonʼs eyebrows sank even more and the sound of his heartbeat could be heard by anyone if I gave a little hint...

The best bet is for Robin to be convinced of their offer and enter the alliance as Tribe No. 16 and be like them... 

But if Robin is not convinced and the implementation of the B plan begins, no one can predict what will happen... but surely, many victims will fall today.
