Chapter 2250 Negotiating

This time they came to persuade the Leaf tribe to return the Temple of Incantation. After all, the Leaf tribe went too far by killing two elders of the Wood tribe.

On one hand, the Soul tribe wanted to control the fighting between the tribes to a certain extent, and on the other hand, they did want to restrain the Leaf tribe.

The Leaf tribe was already very powerful and behaved arrogantly. Currently, they had also occupied the Temple of Incantation, making it increasingly difficult to deal with them.

But they did not expect that the negotiator sent by the Leaf tribe this time would be someone with a hot temper like Vannes.

If it were someone else, they might have been able to calm down and discuss terms.

But Vannes himself had a bad temper.

With new grudges and old resentments combined, Vannes had completely lost his cool.

"Elder Rudyard and I are discussing future cooperation, and he's doing well."

"Well? Well, my foot!" Vannes sneered. "Since you three tribes have decided to join forces to swallow us, the Leaf tribe, there's nothing more to say. The people of the Leaf tribe will fight to the end!"

Whoos.h.!.+

As he spoke, Vannes condensed an imprint in his hand. A huge tornado of wind, carrying sharp leaves, surged toward the group.

The first to be harmed were not the members of the Soul tribe or the Wood tribe, but the group of Leaf tribe members trapped by the spells of the Soul tribe and the Root tribe!

Seeing this, the brows of the three tribes furrowed.

Should they first deal with their own people?

Is the Leaf tribe really that ruthless!?

Tippy's heart skipped a beat, shouting, "Stop him!"

"Buzz!"

A green defensive barrier rose in front of them.

With everyone's effort, the tornado of leaves crashed against the barrier, making continuous sc.r.a.ping sounds as it gradually dissipated.

Taking advantage of this delay, Vannes had already led the Leaf tribe to retreat quickly.

Several elders from the three major tribes looked at each other.

Except for the Wood tribe, the other two tribes didn't intend to resort to violence. Their aim was to pressure the Leaf tribe into submission and gain some benefits in the process.

It seemed that the Leaf tribe was even more stubborn than they had imagined.

Even the alliance of the three major tribes didn't intimidate them.

Elder Klonor of the Wood tribe glanced at Vannes and the retreating Leaf tribe members, his voice deep with seriousness, "Everyone, you've all seen it. I've said it many times before. The Leaf tribe won't back down easily. It's as if we've done something wrong. Elder Tippy, technically, the new leader hasn't been chosen yet, and the leader is still from your Soul tribe. Isn't the Leaf tribe disrespecting you?"

Tippy shook her head, pretending not to detect the insinuation in Elder Klonor's words, "The Leaf tribe has indeed strayed onto a wrong path, but they are still our kin. The Soul tribe does not want to see inter-tribal bloodshed."

"Humph." Klonor snorted heavily. "The Leaf tribe never thought of us as kin when they killed two of our Wood tribe elders."

"Elder, please stop."

The Root Tribe elder turned to Tippy, and continued, "We trust that the Soul tribe will explain. Elder Tippy, it seems that the Leaf tribe is unwilling to surrender the Temple of Incantation. What do you think we should do?"

Tippy looked at the dozen or so Leaf tribe captives left behind and said, "If they're unwilling, then we must take it by force. But I'll say it again, let's not escalate tribal conflicts. I don't want to see any more of our people sacrificed in this meaningless battle."

"Hahaha, don't worry. With your words, we'll handle it with tact," Klonor chuckled.

Tippy listened and let out a soft sigh.

The Leaf tribe's resolute att.i.tude indicated that they wouldn't be easily persuaded.

When emotions run high, who can guarantee complete control?

As they spoke, a Wood tribe member stepped forward to report, "Elder Klonor, the perimeter magic array blockade has been completed. The teleportation magic array for the Temple of Incantation has been disabled."

"Very good," Klonor nodded, then looked at Tippy. "Now that the teleportation pa.s.sage has been completely sealed, it's the perfect time to take action. Everyone, let's begin."

..,,,,

"D*mn it! Despicable Wood tribe!"

Vannes returned to the Temple of Incantation with his group of escaping Leaf tribe members, his anger boiling.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

Especially the Soul tribe and the Root tribe, siding with the Wood tribe.

They were especially detestable!

Wasn't it just their intention to swallow the Temple of Incantation they occupied and the sapling of the sacred tree?

He couldn't let them succeed!

Vannes immediately gathered everyone to prepare for a fierce battle.

Hearing about the alliance of the three tribes, everyone felt immense pressure.

"Regardless, the Temple of Incantation and the sapling of the sacred tree must not fall into the hands of outsiders!" Ovi suggested. "Elder, currently, with the Wood tribe joining forces with the Soul tribe and the Root tribe, their overall strength has greatly increased. It will be extremely difficult to withstand their attack. Perhaps we need to rely on the power of the sacred tree sapling."

"Good! Go report to Elder Farouk."

Vannes nodded, his eyes s.h.i.+mmering with determination.

The sapling of the sacred tree was his greatest confidence!

With the a.s.sistance of the sacred tree sapling, even if facing all three major tribes simultaneously, what could they do?

He still had a chance!

Furthermore, after Great Elder Senzo discovers the anomaly in the magic array, he will definitely come to support it.

Just hold on until then!

Elder Ian frowned as he listened to what was happening outside.

He regretted letting Vannes go out alone to investigate.

Engaging in a war with all three major tribes simultaneously was unwise.

But as Vannes said, the sapling of the sacred tree must not fall into the hands of outsiders.

Fang Heng, listening nearby, felt a stir in his heart.

Wait a minute.

What were they talking about regarding the sapling of the sacred tree?

Could it be the sacred tree cultivated by the Leaf tribe!?

Fang Heng felt like he had captured important information, and his heart began to race.

Watching the Leaf Tribe members anxiously discussing how to deal with the joint attack of the three major tribes, and considering the very low favorability rating between him and Vannes, Fang Heng decided not to risk asking Vannes.

It wasn't until Ovi accepted Vannes's order to report to Elder Farouk that Fang Heng found an opportunity. He followed Ovi out of the hall.

Thanks to completing several previous side missions, he managed to improve his friends.h.i.+p with Ovi to a decent level.

At least there was no hostility.

He could still strike up a conversation.

"Ovi, is there anything I can help with?"

"Thank you, Fang Heng, but it's not necessary," Ovi shook his head, leading two guards toward the central hall. "The Wood tribe is facing a great crisis right now, and your involvement wouldn't be suitable. Rest a.s.sured, we can resist the three major tribes, and they will pay the price for their betrayal."

Fang Heng shrugged but didn't give up. He continued to briskly follow.

"Are you going to report to Elder Farouk now?"

"Yeah, that's right."

As they spoke, Ovi arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

Pus.h.i.+ng open the doors and entering the hall, Ovi knelt down on one knee and bowed to the Honor Elder Farouk, who was seated behind the magic array.

"Elder Farouk."

In the tree spirit tribe, the Honor Elders were typically highly experienced and each had their mission. They usually refrained from getting involved in internal disputes within the tribe.

For instance, the current Elder Farouk has always been dedicated to nurturing the sacred tree. Even the previous sacred tree was cultivated by him.

His experience is comparable to that of the Leaf tribe's Great Elder Senzo.
