Chapter: Chapter 414
What was the Bone Wing tribe doing while the Steel Spear tribe was trying to win over surrounding small tribes by force?
They, uh, seemed to be doing nothing.
Not only did they not try to win over surrounding small tribes, but they also didn’t make any comments about the slander from Steel Spear, reacting as if they were dead.
This strange silence made some tribes begin to wonder if the Bone Wing tribe had some trump card.
Dominated by this sentiment, the Steel Spear tribe’s call did not have much of an effect. Besides the openly supportive Silver Fang tribe, the number of tribes that actively responded was surprisingly small, which made the chief of the Steel Spear tribe furious.
Meanwhile, within the Bone Wing tribe, a group of people were gathered under a giant skeleton, discussing in low voices how to deal with the current predicament.
Although their first battle successfully thwarted the Steel Spear tribe’s attack, that was only the Steel Spear tribe’s vanguard. Even if they had all been wiped out, it would have only made the Steel Spear side suffer for a while.
Their true strength had not yet been revealed, and the tribes that were still fence-sitting were waiting for an opportunity to choose sides. If Steel Spear gained the upper hand in subsequent battles, those tribes would undoubtedly join Steel Spear’s ranks immediately to tear them apart.
“Why don’t we take down the Silver Fang tribe, who is responding most actively, first? Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys,” a rhinoceros head with strange patterns drawn on it said gruffly. He was extremely tall and looked like a warrior with great strength.
Indeed, this rhinoceros person was the chief of another Rhinoceros Horn tribe. Without anyone knowing, they had already formed a defensive alliance with the Bone Wing tribe and had actively participated in the first ambush battle against the Steel Spear tribe.
Under the giant skeleton, the gathered beastmen were almost all high-ranking officials of their respective tribes, either chiefs or trusted aides of the chiefs. A rough glance revealed representatives from about eight or nine tribes.
Coupled with a few high-ranking officials from the Bone Wing tribe, the number of tribes gathered here was nearly ten.
Compared to the Steel Spear tribe, which had few respondents, the Bone Wing tribe clearly had more allies, and they were of higher quality.
If these tribes swarmed them, it was hard to say whether the Steel Spear tribe could win.
“That’s not appropriate. Now is the time to concentrate our strength for a decisive battle with Steel Spear. What’s the point of dividing our forces to deal with that small Silver Fang tribe?” another cat head said, shaking his head. “They are just making a lot of noise. It’s hard to say how much actual support they can provide to Steel Spear.”
This cat-tribe beastman was a member of the Bone Wing tribe. In the previous conflict between the Bone Wing tribe and the Silver Fang tribe, he had a rough understanding of the Silver Fang tribe’s actual strength. It was no exaggeration to say that the power of that tribe was completely negligible in the current war that determined the major trend in the grassland’s marginal areas.
“Fine, they have enmity with them, not us,” the rhinoceros person snorted and stopped mentioning dealing with the Silver Fang tribe first. “By the way, where is the Goddess? It’s so late, why hasn’t she come?”
“Watch your attitude. Goddess is communicating with the Great God, seeking the Great God’s oracle to guide us to defeat Steel Spear, who is acting as a lackey,” the cat-tribe beastman immediately shot the rhinoceros person a glare. Did this guy have no brains? How many times had he been punished by the Goddess and he still didn’t learn his lesson.
The rhinoceros person also seemed to recall something, rubbed his head, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.
Another beastman from a different tribe did not give the rhinoceros person any face. The strong beastman with a wolf head laughed heartily, “Crazy Rhino, do you want to be stepped on by the Goddess again? I didn’t expect you to like it this way, hahahaha.”
“Gray Tooth, if you have the guts, don’t leave after the meeting!” the rhinoceros person’s face turned red, and he waved his big fist, threatening the wolfman who had spoken.
But the wolfman was not afraid at all, “Alright, but don’t say you surrender halfway through the fight.”
Their strength was comparable, so neither of them feared the other.
The other beastmen watched the dispute between the two with amusement. Since the Goddess had not arrived, they could only do these things.
No matter how heated their discussion was, the Goddess still had to make the final decision. And generally, the Goddess’s own methods were much better than what these people thought of. Over time, they had subconsciously given up thinking and handed over all decision-making power to the Goddess, who could obtain oracles.
Not having to think and only having to execute was a good thing for these big, rough beastmen with insufficient brain capacity.
“Judging by the time, the Goddess is almost an hour late. Did something happen?” However, as time went on, the beastmen of the Bone Wing tribe began to have their doubts.
“It seems that this great battle is indeed exceptionally important, requiring so much time even for the Goddess to request an oracle.”
“Yes, let’s wait a little longer. Since the Goddess said there would be a meeting today, she definitely won’t stand us up.”
The fact that these short-tempered beastmen could sit there dryly waiting for someone was enough to show the position of the Goddess in their hearts.
If it were anyone else, these beastmen would have already grabbed their weapons and gone to fight. To dare to stand them up was simply courting death.
Finally, amidst the earnest anticipation of the beastmen, the Goddess walked over step by step from afar.
By then, it had been a full hour and a half since the agreed-upon time, but the beastmen not only did not show any impatience but instead all respectfully stood up from the ground and bowed their heads to the gracefully approaching Goddess.
This represented respect, and it was the highest respect these beastmen had for this Goddess.
“Sit down first. The time it took to request this oracle exceeded my imagination,” the slender Goddess said after signaling the beastmen to sit down.
Her voice was very gentle, and there was no trace of the accent she used to subdue all the beastmen present.
The Goddess did not look like a beastman. Like Victoria of Silver Fang, she was likely a mutated species of some beastman. However, the beastmen present did not know what species the Goddess was.
With sharp white horns growing from the sides of her head, small white wings on her back, and a snow-white long tail trailing behind her, the beastmen living on the边缘 of the grassland truly could not identify what the Goddess was.
In any case, she was definitely not a simple species. Everyone could only be sure of this one thing.

I was helping my family clean for the past two days, and normal updates will resume tomorrow.
