The Emperor is Above

Chapter 152 The Impending Crisis

"Meow-"

The civet cat howled towards the sky.

Its round body looks particularly funny, like a tiger roaring in the mountains.

However, the person who is stepped on by its furry cat claws would probably never think so.

This is a junior totem warrior with broken hair and tattoos. His body and face are torn by the scratches of a civet cat. He looks extremely miserable and cannot even move.

The equally chubby little fox squatted in front of the junior totem warrior. Its crystal clear eyes emitted a faint five-colored light, leaving the junior totem warrior blank-sighted.

It was obvious that the little thing was using illusion to interrogate the information. Qing Yi signaled everyone around him to keep quiet and listen carefully to the complaints of this junior totem warrior in a trance:
“... The Golden Rooster Tribe and the Water Horse Tribe certainly have bad intentions. They rely on the support of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost Cult to force us to serve as scouts.

I admit that the 17 tribes of Daze have gathered 3,700 people, and there are two high-level totem warriors and 20 mid-level totem warriors, which is enough to kill the child from Guqiu with a ten-fold advantage.

But it was only their two tribes who took great efforts to seize Solitary Hill. What does it have to do with our Black Fish Tribe? If you covet the spoils of war distributed after capturing Solitary Hill, you might as well prepare for the looting during the autumn harvest..."

The junior totem warrior muttered to this point and suddenly woke up as the little fox's illusion power faded. Seeing the sneers from the people around him, his face was immediately filled with despair.

If small groups of wild folk settlements in other parts of Xing State had close relations with certain nobles and lords, they would have the opportunity to be recruited as subjects and enrich the population of various parts of Xing State.

The people of Daze had a hundreds-year-old hatred for the State of Xing. Not only did they plunder the capital every year, they were also involved in the second destruction of the State of Xing. Once they fell into the hands of the nobles and common people of the State of Xing, they would have no way out but death.

In fact, when the people in Guqiu heard the news that thousands of wild warriors were attacking, they were shocked but also felt chilled in their hearts. After all, the strength of the wild people in Daze was too strong. Not only did they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but they also had a crushing advantage in terms of military force.

Dongmen Bao drew out the fourth-grade crocodile dragon sword from his waist with a cold face and asked Qing Yi: "Master, should I go outside and kill him?"

"Do not worry!"

Qing Yi smiled and blocked Dongmen Bao, then looked at the junior totem warrior of the Black Fish Tribe and said slowly,

"Even ants are greedy for life, let alone humans? The Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Demon Cult have gathered the Seventeen Tribes in Daze. If you can explain the details to me, I will promise to let you go back safely."

Seeing the hesitation in the heart of the barbarian, Qing Yi persuaded him temptingly: "Think about it carefully. There are 3,700 people besieging more than 200 of us, and there are two high-level totem warriors leading the team. What impact will killing you, a junior totem warrior, have on the battle situation?"

Thinking that Qing Yi's words made sense, the junior totem warrior of the Black Fish Tribe gritted his teeth and told him everything he knew about the plan to suppress the Golden Rooster Tribe and the Water Horse Tribe.

After hearing about the movements of the Daze wild people's coalition, Qing Yi not only did not feel worried, but a strange smile appeared on his face: "So, the Golden Rooster Tribe and the Water Horse Tribe came here from a hundred miles north of Guqiu, and passed by Guqiu, and showed off their strength?"

"Show off one's military might to enhance one's power, and use military force to avenge one's humiliation. This is what Ji Wuhen said."

The junior totem warrior of the Black Fish tribe didn't understand why Qing Yi was laughing so strangely, so he explained seriously, "Ji Wuhen is the senior totem warrior of the Golden Rooster tribe who leads the coalition forces of all tribes in Daze.

He said that the disastrous defeat of the Shui Ma tribe last time, in which they lost many soldiers and humiliated their people, had boosted the morale of the Xing people who were enfeoffed in Guqiu. The passing of the large army would be a good opportunity to intimidate the people who stayed behind in Guqiu.

You want the people of Guqiu to know in advance that the various tribes in Daze have joined forces to besiege and kill you, the lord, and then wait until you return victoriously while the people of Guqiu are in panic to capture you in one fell swoop.

The tribes of Daze will set up camp 20 miles north of you tonight, and they will all arrive here tomorrow morning. It is said that the priests of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost Cult will also come here."

"Good! Very good! I was worried that these cowardly cat-ghost priests would jump away as they did last time when they saw the situation was not good. I didn't expect that there were priests from the Black Wind Tribe to accompany them." Hearing that the Daze coalition forces were close at hand, Qing Yi not only did not have any worries, but smiled even more brightly.

He stood up and said loudly: "One of my strengths is that I keep my word. Brother Gongsun, please send him away safely and don't hurt his life."

"My Lord, please think twice!"

Gongsun Wu advised with a worried look on his face, "The Daze coalition army is not far away. This man sneaked into the camp as a scout of the wild people and has already found out our strengths and weaknesses. If we really let him leave safely, it will definitely be disadvantageous to us."

"You really want to let me go?"

The junior totem warrior of the Black Fish Tribe didn't have high hopes at first, but he didn't expect Qing Yi to actually agree to let him go. His eyes were full of disbelief.

Qing Yi nodded very seriously and said, "Of course, if I say I'll let you go, I won't regret it!"

The wild warrior was surprised and happy, and tried to leave in disbelief. Sure enough, Qing Yi did not let anyone stop him, and after leaving the camp, he quickly disappeared into the night.

"My Lord, how can you really let him go?" Gongsun Wu was anxiously jumping up and down, "Although Daniu and his men signed a contract with twelve blue rhinos yesterday, they were only underage ninth-grade exotic beasts.

The rest of the people only tamed some ordinary mounts. How could they resist the three or four thousand elite savages led by two high-level totems?

Once they know our current strength, they will attack us boldly, and we will not be able to escape even if we want to."

"Brother Gongsun, don't worry!"

Qing Yi smiled and patted Gongsun Wu on the shoulder, and assured him confidently, "It won't be a problem. Even if there are thousands of people in the Daze wild people's coalition, they can't do anything to us.

I let this man go safely so that the people of Daze would know our strength. Otherwise, I am afraid they would not come. "

Even with Qing Yi's assurances, Gongsun Wu, Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao, Chai Yong and others were still nervous and had a hard time getting through the night.

By the next morning, everyone's eyes were bloodshot.

The beastmaster apprentices in the camp were unaware of the impending crisis and were laughing loudly as they discussed their future plans and dreams.

The twelve young blue rhinos suddenly cried out in panic, and then the other beasts in the group also became panicked, as if something terrible was approaching.

At first, Gongsun Wu and his companions thought that the Daze wild people's coalition army was attacking, but they soon found the source of the chaos:
"Oh, Wang Mang Qubing and Wang Mang Qi Ji are back."

"They actually brought back two giant beasts. Aren't those giant rhinos?"

"It's not an adult giant rhino, it's probably only two or three years old, and it's only at the ninth rank right now."

"That's not bad. It's only a ninth-grade beast now. When it grows up, it will slowly become a fifth-grade beast. How majestic."

The young beastmaster apprentice was immediately shocked. Qing Yi walked out slowly and saw two giant boys riding a giant rhino nearly three meters tall towards the camp.
