Chapter 446 Deploying Troops
"My lord, I'm willing to help you with this trip!" Zhu Hui took the first step forward, his eyes full of flattery.
As soon as he finished speaking, the leaders of several tribes behind him knelt on the ground, saying, "We are also willing to serve you, sir!"
The tree-man's head turned slightly between the group.
At this moment, Pigsy, who was kneeling to the side, suddenly spoke up, "My lord, things are definitely not that simple!"
"What are you going to do? You messed up the task the adults gave you, and now you want to make excuses?!" Zhu Hui's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Zhu Suo glared at him with a dark look. This idiot actually dared to try to climb over him and get ahead. Doesn't he even know who he is?
He ignored Zhu Hui's provocation and instead turned to look respectfully at the tree man. "My lord, I'm not trying to excuse myself, but please think about it carefully. The team we sent to the north was not small, not to mention the Golden Scorpion Guard that you personally gave to Zhu Bao. How could they have been completely wiped out?"
“Something’s probably changed in the north. Beast City is definitely not someone to be trifled with! I think we need to be careful. They killed the people we sent there, so the Holy Crystal Fragment must have fallen into Beast City’s hands,” Pig Suo said cautiously.
He glanced at the treant in front of him, carefully choosing his words, "Right now, you are at a critical stage of integration, and we absolutely cannot afford any accidents! What we should do now is send a large number of people to the north to annihilate the City of Ten Thousand Beasts in one fell swoop and reclaim the Holy Crystal Fragment!"
"Hey Pig Suo, after all you've said, you're not planning to use the adults to avenge your heir, are you?" Pig Hui wasn't stupid; he figured out Pig Suo's motive almost instantly.
He immediately saw through the pig's act, "I see you're not thinking about the adults at all, but about your own personal matters!"
"My lord, on this Beastman continent, apart from the Star Wolf Tribe from over a decade ago, what other forces are stronger than our major tribes? I think Pig So hates the City of Ten Thousand Beasts because his successor was incompetent and died in the north." Pig Hui then said to the treant.
Piglet suddenly sprang to his feet, shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm doing all this for our grand plan!"
“I know exactly what you’re thinking, but don’t try to use the adults’ name!” Zhu Hui retorted without backing down.
Just as the two were arguing, the arms of the group suddenly slammed into the ground, the vines tearing through the air and creating a crack in the ground almost instantly. "What are you arguing about here? Shut up, all of you!"
Everyone present knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully, "It was our fault!"
"Alright, what Zhu Suo said makes sense. It seems we really need to be careful on this trip to the north."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Scorpion Warrior, the chief guard of the Golden Scorpion Guard, and said, "This time you will go in person, leading half of the Golden Scorpion Guard."
"Also, this mission will be assigned to Zhu Hui and Xi Beng. Each of you will lead two hundred warriors this time. You must bring back the Holy Crystal Fragment from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot." The treant's fingers twisted incessantly.
Zhu Hui's face lit up with elation. "Rest assured, my lord, I will do my utmost to find the Holy Crystal fragments for you!" After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but give Zhu Su a provocative look.
Then, the withered, old orc lizard slowly nodded, "Yes, sir."
The City of Ten Thousand Beasts... another fool who dares to covet his things. Let them go to the Beast God like the Star Wolf Clan did more than ten years ago.
I wonder if those idiots from the Star Wolf Clan have already gone to the Beast God to complain about him.
I'm really looking forward to it...
Suddenly, a pair of eyes slowly appeared on the tree-man's blank face, like black holes, seemingly able to absorb everything within them.
Beast God... It's been a long time! I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's such a pity you can't come down to this Beastman Continent, but it's alright, I will come to find you.
"This mission must succeed. Don't disappoint me again, otherwise you'll be of no use..." The treant's indifferent, hoarse voice slowly rang out, and the heads of the surrounding orcs almost floated to the ground. "Yes, please rest assured, sir!"
"I must obtain this lost fragment of the Holy Crystal. With it, once the three fragments are fused together, I will be able to use more than half of my senses to find out the whereabouts of the other two fragments!"
"Once I've collected all the Holy Crystal fragments, and once I've truly fused them together and absorbed their energy, this orc continent will be my domain!"
Then, he will be able to use the power of the Holy Crystal to break through the shackles of this orc continent and go to catch up with his old acquaintances.
"Rest assured, sir, your subordinates will certainly help you fulfill your wish!"
After this matter was over, a wisp of black smoke rose into the sky, the treant's body slowly dissipated, and the Shadow God's voice became increasingly ethereal, "Don't bother me until you bring back this fragment of the Holy Crystal."
These idiots can't even do the smallest thing right. If he weren't currently in the crucial stage of fusing these two Saint Crystal fragments and couldn't go out in person, he would have taught these idiots a lesson!
The black smoke slowly dissipated, and the treant's body in front of the orcs completely collapsed. Along with the vine throne behind him, it fell to the ground with a bang. The thorns seemed unable to withstand his energy and slowly dissipated after collapsing, leaving only a pile of powder.
Several orcs kneeling on the edge of the cliff stood up. Zhu Hui patted the dust off his animal skin clothes and slowly walked up to Zhu Suo. "I say, Elder, you're getting old. Why don't you just stay in the tribe and enjoy your retirement? Why are you getting involved in these things?"
"Now we've been rejected by the adults and lost our heir. What are we going to do?"
The adult had clearly noticed Zhu Suo's little scheme. Although he sent more people to the north as Zhu Suo had suggested, he did not follow Zhu Suo's instructions again. Instead, he called Zhu Suo and Xi Beng.
Zhu Hui's face was full of smugness. "But don't worry, I'm not some mean old orc chieftain. Even if I'm not a favorite of the adults, you're still the Great Elder of our Wild Pig Tribe. The tribe will definitely take care of you."
"You! You!" Zhu Suo was so angry at his smug look that he couldn't speak.
"Elder, why can't you even speak properly now?"
Zhu Hui felt extremely relieved. He turned his gaze to Lizard Beng beside him and said, "Great Shaman, Scorpion Warrior Captain, let's meet again in three days. Now I need to go back to the tribe to select warriors."
The opportunity has already been presented to him. If he can't take this chance to crush Zhu Suo in the mud, then he'll be utterly useless!
Lizard nodded. "Alright, we'll set off together three days from now, just outside the desert."
Scorpion Warrior, standing to the side, said stiffly, "No problem, but the lord didn't say who our leader is for this mission? I need to ask the lord."
He looked so rigid and methodical, truly like a heartless killing machine.
"Is that even a question? The master called my name first. So it's definitely my turn!" Zhu Hui blurted out without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Lizard Beng gave him a half-smile and said, "Alright, then we'll hand over the leadership of this mission to Chief Pig Glory."
