At this moment, the youngest elder and the eldest elder exchanged glances.
What cultivation level? Y who gazed curiously into Lean, whose profound eyes.
The Emperor.
How vexing.
I nearly found myself drained.
Had I known, I would never have made such a promise.
Chapter 383.
Perfectly aligned.
What? The Infernal Tiger was somewhat taken aback.
It had always believed that the man had merely aspired to their queen, and that the flame tiger had no reason to deceive it regarding such matters.
In reality, was it their queen who was the one reaching beyond her grasp? This revelation was difficult for the Infernal Tiger to accept, as it contradicted the information it had previously gathered.
In retrospect, it was no wonder that the other elders of the clan refrain from discussing this man.
Was he truly an emperor? Undoubtedly, and given his talents and prowess, ordinary emperors would scarcely be his match.
I had witnessed him engage in battle with an emperor in the boundless seas of the extreme north, after which he simply vanished.
The flame tiger seemed to recall that scene from centuries past, the emperor's imposing presence still instilling a sense of trepidation within it.
The infernal tiger fell silent.
Upon reflection, it seemed that the survival and advancement of the Icefield White Tiger clan over the years could not have been achieved without the assistance of that man.
However, the passage of time was too great.
Even if evidence existed, it was likely purged by the other elders.
Moreover, since Silver Tide was the offspring of him and the queen, she too bore his lineage, do you truly believe her potential would be limited to merely royal status? Not to mention, she could very well ascend to the rank of emperor.
The flame tiger reiterated, and this assertion profoundly shocked the infernal tiger, for it had never encountered such intelligence before.
For it, loyalty to the clan came first, followed by allegiance to the queen whom it had never personally met.
The very figure who led their clan to greatness.
The reason the halfbeast empire dared to be so resolute was due to the presence of an emperor among them.
Had the Icefield White Tiger clan possessed the same, how could they have yielded to those mixed blood wretches? The Flame Tiger's words resonated with the Infernal Tiger, emphasizing that Silver Tide possessed the capability to elevate their clan strength, at least surpassing these decrepit elders.
Your current stance indicates your allegiance to the dragon.
And in the future, those old geysers shall face reckoning.
Seeing the infernal tiger waiver, the flame tiger pressed on by you also stood wielding a scythe.
My time is limited.
You have three seconds to contemplate your decision to submit to the halfbeast empire or to follow silver tide.
The infernal tiger chose the latter.
Besides, being so youthful, while it feared not death, it did not desire to meet its end.
Very well, I agree.
The infernal tiger hesitated briefly before resolutely voicing its decision.
The flame tiger exhaled in relief, aware that the infernal tiger was merely impulsive, harboring some aversion to the half beasts, but not truly opposing silver tide's faction, hence the persuasion.
By sheathed the scythe and returned to her seat, the infernal tiger's allegiance held little bearing on her.
Now, let us discuss Silver Tide circumstances.
The flame tiger gestured for the Infernal Tiger to sit, taking a seat nearby to begin recounting Silver Tide's situation to Bayou.
The nearby Tiger Guard's emotions transitioned from terror to delight, then to concern, ultimately leading to a quiet sigh of relief as it silently listened to the discussions among these formidable figures.
It became evident to it that the outcome was largely attributable to Bayou's formidable strength.
As Silver Tide already fled, Bayou was momentarily takenback.
While the Tiger guards were filled with unrestrained joy, it appeared that her injuries were not severe.
Or perhaps she still had a hidden car to play.
In a fit of rage, several tribal elders had destroyed the palace within the ice mountain and uncovered an underground river.
The Tiger people followed the river in their search, ultimately reaching the boundless sea to the north.
Yet, they had found no trace of Enshi.
It was as if she had vanished in a thin air.
At that moment, a high-ranking official from the Halfbeast Empire was seething with anger and threatened to annihilate the White Tiger Clan of the Ice Plains, having lost all patience.
Did it dare to utter such threats, believing that the tribal elders would allow it to leave the extreme north and scathe? Bayou was puzzled.
She had already discerned the strength of these half beasts from Leanho, and she could not comprehend their audacity.
Your Excellency may be unaware, but I suspect their likely course of action will be to lead their people away from the extreme north after the adversaries depart, opting to avoid confrontation.
Lean remarked with a sigh.
Meanwhile, the prison tiger scoffed in anger at the elders approach, allowing them to leave still left room for negotiation with the halfbeast empire.
But directly killing them would irrevocably severize.
No faction could endure the loss of an Imperial level combatant and remain silent.
The reason these half beasts were referred to as high ranking was due to the fact that the Imperial level individual was purportedly the offspring of a high-ranking official within the halfbeast empire which was another reason they hesitated to act.
Have they departed yet? Why you had already resolved to intercept them on route? Not yet.
They're still awaiting the results of the search on the other side of the boundless sea.
We anticipate news by tonight, and if nothing is found, they may very well leave in a fury.
Although Yen, who seldom engaged in tribal council decisions, as the longest serving elder, it had eyes and ears throughout the various tribes, ensuring that the internal dynamics were largely within its purview.
Inshi, being a royal level individual with spatial magic, was elusive and unpredictable.
The search team dispatched was predominantly comprised of royal level members personally led by two elders.
Their objective was not to capture inshi but to locate the group of tiger people that had fled with her.
Finding them would compel in she to reveal herself.
Are there any other tribal elders that can be persuaded? Bayou recalled that there were two neutral faction elders present.
If they could be swayed their assistance to she would be considerable.
The situation outside is chaotic and the chance to persuade them seems slim.
Moreover, those two old codgers may not be willing to relinquish their grip on power.
Leanne, who shook its head.
If she were to return and decisively overpower the elders with her strength, they might have no objections.
However, asking them to set aside their power to serve a royal level individual would breed resentment, undoubtedly becoming a latent threat.
Furthermore, one of the neutral faction elders has already gone to host the half beasts alongside the other elders, signaling their stance.
Ah, I see.
Then there is no need for further concern.
If even you lack confidence, it would be best to eliminate them directly.
By you rose and walked toward the window, gazing out at the city beyond.
My lord, do not act impulsively.
Silver Tide has escaped.
Our foremost task is to locate each other before they do.
The subsequent matters require careful deliberation, Leen, who urged earnestly.
There are at least three Imperial level figures below.
If a fight ensues, it will surely attract the attention of the other clan elders.
And once they return, the situation could spiral out of control.
Bay did not respond to Lean who but smiled at Yu instead.
What were your thoughts? Yu was perplexed by by Yu<unk>s sudden inquiry.
Their side had three Imperial level warriors while three Imperial level opponents were also present below.
Two of their adversaries had already departed to search for Silver Tide, leaving only the neutral party within the city to potentially assist.
However, it was uncertain whether the opposing faction would align with them, and the Imperial figure from the Halfbeast Empire might not come to their aid either.
Thus, the worst case scenario would be a threeon-three confrontation.
As long as they resolved the battle swiftly, there was no cause for concern.
In my view, a direct assault would be the most appropriate course of action.
Yu, who exclaimed without hesitation, prompting by you smile to brighten even more.
That aligns perfectly with my intentions.
Chapter 384.
Assistance from a fallen angel Lean who is no one listening to me.
Let's wait a moment until that group of half orcs departs.
Byou had already devised a plan.
Although engaging directly might not lead to defeat, it was prudent to eliminate the halfworks first.
Upon hearing Bayu's words, Leen, who felt a momentary relief, only to be gripped by anxiety once more, so they would indeed resort to direct confrontation.
It realized it could not persuade by you, and could only hope that the latter had a hidden card up their sleeve.
