Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"The immortal Madmos has completely separated himself from Xuanfeng City. The Xuanfeng army he leads is quite powerful. If he were here, the people of Ohma would definitely not dare to attack rashly. However...if we do this, we will offend both Ohma and Xuanfeng City at the same time."

Ohma is inviting all enemies to join him.

And Xuanfeng City has been tracking them.

At this time, Tilkas extended an olive branch to his enemies.

Will Ohma and Xuanfeng City let it go?

Forget about Ohma, he has already been offended, but those lunatics in Xuanfeng City probably won’t give up.

But on the other hand, with the lone army led by Wan Di, Tilkas would not be so passive.

"All destruction stems from a lack of strength. Otto, this is an opportunity. Do you want to live forever in the despair shrouded in darkness, or do you want to fight and bring hope and light?"

"Your will." Old Otto raised his head, his cloudy eyes filled with wisdom. "Just as you let the light hang in Tilkas, Master Ash, I trust your judgment. Go tell the others about this matter now. I believe they will not refuse."

"Go."

...

Here.

Ten Thousand Enemies returns from Tilkas to the Ruins Palace.

He summoned several important members of the Xuanfeng Army to discuss whether to join Tilkas.

"Tilkas, that small tribe?"

When someone heard the name 'Tilkas', they were stunned.

The two sides had fought before, and many people didn't know that Ash was leading the Tilkas tribe.

Only now did I realize from Wan Di's mention that the overall combat effectiveness of that small tribe was not even as good as their isolated army, right?

Not only that, but they were also invited to join.

Have you ever heard of a wolf cub inviting a tiger to his home?

"Lord Wan Di, is the man you fought today the new leader of Tilkas? The chief of their tribe?" asked the priest Gaius.

Wan Di shook his head. "That guy isn't from Tiercus, at least that's what he said. But he has acquired the power of Gioria. I think he must also be a Golden Descendant, revered by the Tiercus people."

After saying that, he added, "That guy's strength is not weaker than mine. And I just saw in the Tilkas tribe that the fighting power of that group of people is very good, not as weak as you think. If they really fight with us, the outcome is still uncertain."

Gaius asked, "So, Lord Ten Thousand Enemies, are you inclined to join Tyrkas?"

"No, no, no, I don't have that idea. I'm neutral." Wan Di waved his hand, then added, "I just think that guy is pretty good. At least Tilkas isn't as complicated as Ohma."

Gaius was silent.

Although Wan Di claims to be neutral, no matter how you look at it, he is leaning towards going to Tilkas.

The king has actually made a decision. If they object, it will cause internal problems.

Seeing the others were silent, Gaius said, "Lord Wan Di, I suggest that we use the Tierkas tribe as a temporary base. If we integrate smoothly, we can consider long-term cooperation with the Tierkas in the future."

"Oh?" Wan Di said, "Gaius, don't you think Tilkas is too weak?"

"Weakness is only temporary. With the Golden One leading the charge, Tilkas's rise is only a matter of opportunity. We should go there now and establish the best possible alliance with them. Providing timely assistance is far more meaningful than simply adding icing on the cake."

"Besides, this incident clearly proves that there are major problems within Ohma, and Ohma and Xuanfeng City are still pursuing us. If we have to choose, I think Tilkas is more suitable for us than Ohma."

"Priest Gaius has a point." A member of the Hanging Front nodded. "Okhmar is not trustworthy. Those Tilkas are brave warriors, and it's not bad to get along with them."

"Indeed, but I don't know if they are willing to accept us. We injured the Tilkas when we were looting supplies earlier."

After everyone finished speaking, Gaius looked towards the Ten Thousand Enemies.

"Lord Wan Di, you make the decision."

"Don't worry about that." Wan Di waved his hand. "If they don't even have this much magnanimity, then Tilkas doesn't deserve to invite us over... Believe it, Golden Ash, if his power truly comes from Gioria, the earth won't lie."

"Alright, since the majority agrees, notify them and set off for Tilkas!"

The Journey of Omfalos: Chapter 11 The Savior Bai'e, isn't this the ancestor Kevin?

Ash didn't know what happened in Xuanfeng's army.

The disaster of the Tilkas tribe had not yet passed. Shortly after Marcus was killed, an uninvited guest came to the outside of the tribe.

"Golden Descendant Bai'e? Another one from Ohma?"

In the room, Ash was a little surprised to hear Julius' report.

He knew someone from Ohema would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

As soon as Marcus was sent away, Ohma came in.

It's too late to support Marcus.

It would be too early to come for revenge, and besides, there is no reason for someone to come and kill you.

"Do you know this Bai'e?" asked Ash.

Julius thought for a moment and said, "I know a little, but not much. I've heard that he's a Golden Descendant who recently joined Ohma. He's very powerful and performed particularly well in the battle against the Hanging Blade. Rumor has it that he seems to have identified Nicadori as his own trial."

"The goal is to kill the Titan."

Ash stroked his chin.

The Golden Lineage who have this kind of idea and the Golden Lineage who have no idea are two different concepts.

Having such an idea shows that one is very powerful and has a concept of strict implementation of the so-called oracle. This is the spiritual representative of the golden descendants of the Aglaya faction.

On the other hand, if he hadn't wanted to kill the Titans to gather power, he wouldn't necessarily have joined Ohma and acted according to the oracle.

"Lord Ash, is that Golden One here for revenge? Should we strike first?" Julius asked.

He has mobilized the Tilkas warriors, and as long as Ash gives the order, they will immediately rush over and cut Bai'er into pieces.

The anger of the Tilkhas had not yet subsided, and when Ohma's men came, no matter who they were, they would not be treated well.

"Calm down, Julius." Ash shook his head. "Marcus doesn't represent Ohma. We're weak right now. If Ohma's army really attacks, we won't be able to stop them. Besides, they're a famous Golden Descendant. Even if we kill them, we might not be able to stop them."

"Uh..."

Julius scratched his head. That's right. Bai'er has a bad reputation, just like Medmus. How could he be easy to deal with?

"I'll go take a look."

Ash walked out of the house and came to the entrance of the village.

At this time, the place was already surrounded by people. In addition to the guards, there were even many ordinary people from Tilkas. Each of them held a shovel and an iron pot in their hands, staring at Bai'e.

Of course, they were not here to invite the other party to dinner at their home. If Old Otto had not asked the guards to stop them, they would have rushed in and smashed the pots and pans.

"Get out! Leave Tilkas, you are not welcome here!"

"Aglaiya's lackey, despicable Golden Descendant, how dare you come here!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

The Tilkas were very excited.

It's normal to think about it. The entire tribe has a population of only more than 500 people, and the casualties in the previous battle exceeded 50, which was very tragic.

The tribe is short of supplies, and the follow-up conditions for some seriously injured people are not optimistic. In short, Marcus's attack brought a major disaster to the Tilkas tribe, and the hatred value was directly maxed out.

"Don't crowd around. Spread out and go back to rest."

Ash frowned.

"I know you're upset, but that guy isn't on the same team as Marcus. Let's talk about anything after we've finished talking to him."

"Lord Ash," a villager gritted his teeth and said, "That guy is from Ohma. All Ohma people are the same. They don't treat people from our small tribe as human beings at all!"

"Wuwuwu~ Lord Ash, my child was killed by those damned Ohma people today."

"My husband did the same. He was trying to protect me and the children..."

Ash sighed softly, "It's right to be sad, but don't be blinded by hatred... Julius, take them back first."

Julius nodded and told the guards to send these people back home.

With Ash's order and Old Ultra's presence, the villagers had no choice but to return to the village.

"Master Ash." Old Otto came forward and glanced at the departing villagers. "Please understand their feelings."

"I understand. No one would remain indifferent when faced with the death of a loved one... Are you Bai'e?"

Ash looked at the young man next to Old Ultra, and was slightly stunned. At the first sight, he almost exclaimed, "Old Master Kevin, are you here?"

But if you look closely, you will find that there is still a big difference between the two.

This guy, at first glance, looks like a sunny and warm big boy, with an Asian-style breeze blowing towards him.

"Hello, my name is Bai'e. Are you Ash? The Ultra Priest just introduced you to me." Bai'e smiled bitterly. "I should have arrived here earlier so that the tragedy would not have happened."

As soon as he arrived outside the village and saw the bloodstains that had not yet been wiped off, he knew that something big had happened.

"Oh." Ash nodded and said nothing. These words cleared himself from any connection with Marcus and the others. It sounded like that, but he couldn't really believe it.

"Mr. Bai'e arrived really quickly. Did you know about Marcus's actions?"

"Aglaiya asked me to come." Bai'e did not hide his purpose. "She noticed something was wrong with Marcus and asked me to come over and take a look."

"So Marcus is indeed here to recruit Tilkas on behalf of Aglaia?"

Bai Er was stunned. "You can understand it that way, but she didn't instruct Marcus to do this. I think that guy must have been instructed by the Senate to launch the attack on Tiercus."

"But he was ostensibly summoned by Aglaiya," Ash said calmly. "When Aglaiya's people run into trouble, the consequences are borne by the Tilkas tribe. No matter what the Senate does, is Aglaiya completely blameless? You Goldens are in a unique situation in Ohma, so you should be even more cautious when handling matters like this. Do you always blame the Senate and clear yourself of all responsibility when something like this happens?"

"Of course not," Bai'e said seriously. "On behalf of Aglaya and the Golden People of Ohma, I apologize to Tilkas for this matter. If there's anything we can do to help, please let me know."

"Forget it." Ash waved his hand. "The biggest help you can do is to stop bothering me."

In fact, Ash couldn't let Bai'e do anything.

Compensation?

Or a life for a life?

If we really want to trace it back, the biggest culprit is the Senate, and the golden descendants led by Aglaia are the indirect cause of the incident.

Of course, Ash didn't know Aglaia well. Thinking deeper into the conspiracy theory, who could say for sure that this wasn't Aglaia's plan? Having the Senate secretly implement the plan, and then sending Bai'e to stop Marcus and rescue Tilkas and the others...hiss~ Praise for joy.

The reason why Ash didn't want to pursue the matter was simple.

Whether it is the Golden Race or the Senate, they are just two major factions in the internal disputes of Ohma. Once Tilkas sends troops, it is likely to attract attacks from the entire Ohma.

What's more, Tilkas has no soldiers to send out.

The total number of people in the entire tribe is not even as many as the guards of the holy city.

So at this time, it’s okay to be impulsive, but you can’t really charge. If the charge turns into a fight, and you lose the person, everything will be over.

Bai'e was very helpless about this. After Aglaya told him, he had not delayed at all along the way, but he was still late. If he could have arrived an hour earlier, or even half an hour earlier, he was confident that he could have stopped Marcus's attack on Tiercus.

But it's too late to say anything now. With such hatred at its peak, the possibility of Tilkas joining Ohma is almost zero.

But Bai Er still said, "Ash, I'm sorry about what happened to Marcus, but please believe that this has nothing to do with Aglaia. Our mission as Golden Race is to protect Omphalos from disaster and fulfill the responsibilities entrusted by the oracle."

"Right now, the Senate is secretly making things difficult for us. Aglaia has indeed done her best. We don't have the final say in Ohma, but even so, she still wants... No, I still hope that Tilkas can go to Ohma. The Senate won't give up and will send troops for various reasons. If you stay in Ohma, I promise to do my best to protect every Tilkas person."

"How arrogant! You speak as if there is no safe place in the whole of Omphalos except Ohma? What you call shelter is threatening someone by putting a knife on their neck? Send the guards of Ohma over here. If they can break into the village, I lose!" Behind him, Wan Di was walking towards this side with his lone army.

...

No need to say anything, just go!

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 12 I smell a hint of conspiracy

"Maidemos?!" Bai'e was surprised.

"Please call me Wan Di, thank you." Wan Di glanced at Bai Er and walked straight to Yaxiu. "Everyone in the Xuanfeng Lone Army agrees that they are willing to stay in Tilkas for the time being, but if we can't integrate, they will leave at any time later."

Ash chuckled, "Of course...Thanks a lot, Wandi."
