Death… And Me

Chapter 79 - About To Start

contemporary romance

In Roan's previous life as Death Spirit, he had been everywhere. Obviously, the number of battlefields that he saw is uncountable. The number strategies even more so. Such things like predicting that other Tribes would join the fray was just too easy for him. It couldn't even be considered a strategy, just banding together to overwhelm the other with numbers.

Once all the ordinary people left, Juri went to talk with him.? ?

"Was that okay?"

Roan nodded.

"Give me 20 warriors, they must obey all my orders, is that fine?"

Juri pondered a bit and agreed. Although the warriors would find it weird to follow the orders of a kid, Juri could still convince this amount. A few minutes later, those warriors already appeared.

Roan then looked at Rean and asked.

"Did you prepare what I asked for?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"You gave me too little time, so just a few were ready."

Roan smiled.

"That should do, they won't be coming now anyway, so just make more while I will be taking them."

Rean made an okay sign.

"By the way, don't you need my help with those things?"

Roan snorted.

"Don't forget our roles, equipments, and resources are up to you, but combat is my field. The last thing I need is for you to ruin my plans."

Rean just shook his head and returned to the Tribe's blacksmith workshop.

Roan then took all that he needed and ran around the Tribe with those warriors. The day quickly passed, and night came. It was then that Juri received the message that the enemies were coming. Sure enough, it would be a night raid.

On the top of the Tribe's wall, Juri looked as the three Tribes came over. Together, they had almost a thousand warriors. As for the Varen Tribe, they barely reached two hundred. The Tribe had more than it, but a few of them followed the ordinary Tribe into the mines. In case things go south, they would be responsible for protecting them while they escaped.

Before the battle started, the Kianme Tribe Leader came forward of the Hersin and Bokou Tribes' ones.

Juri smiled at them and asked.

"I didn't expect to get a visit so late at night, much less so many. I guess you didn't come to drink with me, did you?"

Kianme Yasvil laughed after hearing that.

"We did, it's just that the drink will be your tribe members blood. Juri Varen, your Tribe, has become too strong for its own good. This is just my Kianme Tribe, preventing someone else from eating our food later. Don't take it personally, the world is for the strong."

Juri laughed and nodded.

"Indeed, the world is for the strong. So I'll give you a piece of advice, you should leave now while you still can. If not, don't blame my Varen Tribe for being nasty."

Hearing that made the Yaskil, Kalan, and Xinken laugh out loud.

"Then, we want to see just how nasty you can become."

The three leaders then went back to their warriors' group.

On the Varen Tribe side, Juri came down from the wall and landed just beside Roan.

"Is everything prepared?"

Roan nodded.

"As long as our warriors don't forget the locations, it should be fine. Although I can't say that there will be no deaths on our side, you should be strong enough to deal with this amount."

Juri couldn't help but feel impressed with Roan's ingenuity.

"Everyone get ready!"

Outside the Varen's Tribe, the Tribe discussed how they should go with it.

"Neither of us wants to be the ones losing more Tribe members. So each side will first send half of our groups to go together. The Varen tribe is placed against the Liman mountain, which is south, so it will be annoying to enter from there. In that case, let each group attack from North, East, and West. Is there anyone against these rules?"

Xenkin pondered a bit before saying.

"I don't mind it, but the three groups must have mixed warriors of the Three Tribes. After all, what if one side simply decides to not enter? I hope the Kianme and Bokou Tribes have nothing against it."

Kalan and Yisval nodded. That was the best option available. The cultivation world was just like this, filled with mistrust. Each side wants to guarantee its safety first above all.

"Very good, we all brought two Foundation Establishment Realm each counting with us. This first raid, let's give the command of each group to one of them. Alanda and Juri are the only Foundation Establishment Realms of the Varen Tribe as far as I know. They can only defend two sides, so one of them will be empty."

Back inside the Varen Tribe, Alanda was positioned on the West Side while Juri was on the East. As for Rean and Roan, they stayed in the north.

A few minutes earlier, Roan gave his plans.

"They definitely have more Foundation Establishment than us, but they only know about Alanda and Juri. Rean and I will use this chance to get rid of one of them straight away. The leaders will most likely not attack at first, and I doubt they will send everyone at once. They are completely underestimating our forces just because they have more than double our numbers. Don't miss this chance and kill as much as possible. Also, don't forget everything I prepared. That is the first phase."

Sure enough, it was just as Roan mentioned. From the top of the wall, it was easy to see only half of the thousand warriors moving to the three sides. The walls of the Varen Tribe were nothing impressive. Even Energy Gathering Realm cultivators could jump it as long as they put enough effort. They only had between 6 to 7 meters, which was mostly used to keep demon beasts away, not humans. Also, except for a few guarding points, there was no space for a person to stay on the walls' top since the walls are palisades. That being said, Roan gave up defending the walls. Instead, he decided to use the Houses of the Tribe as cover for his plans. Of course, it is not like he didn't leave a surprise behind.
