Chapter 99 Who is the Fox Spirit

  The spider monster is not only powerful, but can also summon countless spiders to fight and escape, and the entire Tarton Valley, or even the entire Ladakh mountain range will soon become its territory. The half-beastmen who have lived here for thousands of years are isolated and helpless, with nowhere to go, and may face another disaster.

  After understanding the weakness of the Spider Monster, in order to give Tian Hu Xue Hen a chance and more importantly to continue surviving in the Ladakh Mountains, the half-beast people decided to take a gamble. With only three days left until the full moon, after exiting the cave, they hastened to discuss their next plan and prepare for battle with all their might.

  The Minotaur chieftain decided to send out a total of five hundred elite Minotaur warriors, the Fox tribe elder prepared to send twenty mages and over one thousand Dog Head warriors, even Medusa, who had a scarce number of people, would also send out more than three hundred brave warriors from her tribe.

  "Lord, I wonder how many soldiers you can mobilize from your territory?" After waiting for half a day and seeing that Yang Ling still hadn't made a statement, the elder of the Fox tribe had no choice but to speak up directly. For the survival and future of his people, he was prepared to go all out, of course, absolutely inseparable from Yang Ling's strong support.

  "Elder, I'm afraid that in the face of a powerful enemy like Spider Monster, I must prioritize protecting the people on our territory." After a moment's hesitation, Yang Ling reluctantly shook his head and continued, "I must rush back to Weisen Town immediately to make preparations for defense. At most, I can only leave behind over a hundred soldiers to assist you!"

  After realizing that the half-beast had no way out, Yang Ling's heart moved and decided to retreat. In order to secure the rich resources of the Tardon Mountain Valley and the safety of Weisen Town, it was necessary to get rid of the powerful spider monster; but at the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity to gain greater benefits, incorporating the half-beast of the Ladakh Mountains into his own territory was also indispensable.

  The emergence of Spider-Man is an unprecedented challenge, but also an absolutely rare opportunity!

  He believed that as long as he grasped this opportunity, he might be able to subdue many scattered half-orc tribes at once and gain sufficient manpower and various supplies in a short period of time.

  Can only leave more than 100 soldiers to assist in the war?

  Looking at Yang Ling's serious face, the Fox tribe elder felt a chill in his heart. Faced with the powerful spider monster, without Yang Ling's great help, it could almost be said that there was no chance of winning.

  After a moment of contemplation, the Medusa tribe's elder said: "Lord, if the spider monster breaks free and summons a large number of spiders to occupy the entire Ladakh mountain range, I'm afraid Visen Town won't be able to survive either!"

  It is said that Yang Ling is preparing to withdraw his troops, and the half-beast people are discussing it in an uproar. Some are disheartened and sit on the ground with a thud, while others secretly wipe away tears, worrying about the future of their tribe; there are also some who glare fiercely at Yang Ling, who sits cross-legged on the ground, as if they want to force him to send troops out with a knife. Only Medusa, the tribal leader, remains calm and composed as always.

  "That's right, if the Ladakh Mountains are occupied by Spider Monsters, Visen Town will not be spared!" Yang Ling admitted in one breath, greatly surprising everyone. He then continued slowly: "But as a lord, I must take responsibility for the civilians on my territory. Before the war even starts, I have to consider the worst-case scenario."

  What's the worst-case scenario?

  When Yang Ling said this, the elder of the Fox tribe was moved in his heart and seemed to be thinking deeply.

  After a pause, looking at the half-beastmen around him who were listening intently, Yang Ling continued: "In Weisen Town, I have a grand and magnificent castle, guarded by only one elite troop. I believe that even if there are many spiders, they won't be able to get in. And the stored grain inside the castle is enough for everyone in the town to eat for a whole year!"

  Is there enough food stored within the castle walls for everyone in town to eat for a whole year?

  The crowd suddenly boiled up. Although they had long heard that Weisen Town was not worried about food or clothing, no one expected that Yang Ling would have so much grain in store!

  Elite troops, magnificent and majestic castles, plus sufficient food reserves...

  The half-beast people suddenly realized and understood why Yang Ling couldn't bear to risk his life, but after the shock, they felt even more depressed. As a lord, Yang Ling had enough capital to cope with the crisis, but as a half-beast person who was oppressed by humans, where was his own way out?

  The half-beast people were in a heavy mood, sighing and groaning. Only Gu De, the strategist not far away, had a sudden movement in his heart and quickly understood Yang Ling's intention. There was indeed still some leftover grain in the Visen Castle, but it was absolutely impossible to feed the entire town for a whole year. Obviously, Yang Ling had other intentions.

  After swallowing hard, the old fox still couldn't help but say: "Lord, even if you can rely on your tall city walls to block the dense spider army, how will you block the powerful spider monster? Don't you fear that just one spider monster can break through your city gate?"

  "Elder, to be honest with you, I've invested a lot of effort in the castle. Let alone the spider monster, even if it were a high-ranking saint, it would probably take some time to break in! Yang Ling smiled mysteriously and continued: "In addition, I built a port at the mouth of the Danube River. If we really can't hold on, we can also retreat by sea and return to my family's territory."

  Yang Ling said as he picked up a sharp little stone and drew a simple map of Weisen Town on the ground, drawing out all the good fields and ports that were still in their infancy, depicting a territory that was almost like heaven for the half-beastmen, making the strategist Gu De feel convinced and inferior.

  "For the future of your tribe, you half-beasts are ready to go all out and fear no death. This, I admire greatly!" Looking around at the thoughtful half-beasts, Yang Ling continued: "But"

  "Have you considered the old, weak, sick and disabled in our tribe? What if we fail to attack, and our people encounter a large group of bandits and beasts that come out to hunt for food?"

  After mobilizing all the warriors in the tribe, if something unexpected happens, the remaining tribesmen will have no way out but death!

  The elder of the Fox tribe, the chieftain of the Minotaur and the elder of Medusa all had similar thoughts before, but under Yang Ling's reminder, they became more and more uneasy.

  In the long cold winter, many predatory tribes and monsters will be driven by hunger to take risks and attack every tribe they encounter. After moving away all the warriors in the tribe, if something unexpected happens, even if you are lucky enough to defeat the terrifying spider monster, it will not make any sense.

  "After mobilizing all the warriors in the tribes, it's best to gather the elderly, weak, and disabled from several tribes together for joint defense!" Yang Ling continued sincerely, looking at the Fox Tribe elder and Medusa Tribe elder: "Of course, if you're not afraid of trouble, you can also move your non-combatant tribe members to Visen Town temporarily."

  After a pause, Yang Ling continued: "Not to mention anything else, at least I can guarantee their basic living and personal safety. In the case of the unfortunate defeat in the Tianton Mountain Valley, even if they were suddenly attacked by terrifying spider monsters, there would still be time to arrange for them to board ships together and evacuate to other places."

  The orcish race is diverse, with not only the powerful Minotaur and Medusa, but also the fox tribe that produces many magicians. It is said that there are also many small tribes with various special abilities, each with their own unique uses.

  What's even more rare is that, due to the oppression and intentional attacks from various forces, all the half-beasts exist as scattered tribes, unable to form an independent force. If a way can be found to gradually annex them one by one, the power of Weissen Town will soar, not only gaining a large number of cheap laborers in a short period of time but also acquiring a multitude of various talents.

  Yang Ling would not miss any opportunity to expand his power. He believed that as long as the half-beasts moved all their elderly, weak, sick and disabled tribesmen to Weisen Town, subjugating the few half-beast tribes before him would be imminent!

  Under the pressure of the bad situation, plus Yang Ling's strong invitation and temptation, after discussion, the semi-beast people decided to move all their tribesmen to Weisen Town, so as to lightly equip themselves and go all out to deal with the spider monsters in the depths of the mountain cave. They did not think that they had unintentionally stepped onto Yang Ling's war chariot step by step!

  With no more worries, the half-beast people's morale was greatly boosted, and they quickly gathered together. The Fox tribe elder took out the treasured black melon, the Minotaur put on the heavy armor left behind by their ancestors, with a heavy totem pole on his back; as for Medusa, she even brought over all the snake venom accumulated by her tribe over several decades.

  Medusa's poisonous skills are as famous as their swordsmanship, and their poisoned twin blades have been an inescapable shadow for both humans and beastmen. Legend has it that even the most elite Holy Light Knights of the Church cannot disperse a group of Medusas wielding poisoned twin blades.

  Medusa's strength is formidable, but unfortunately, the number of people is similar to that of the Minotaur, and even fewer. As a result, in all previous wars, they were unable to help the Orcs achieve true victory and establish a powerful independent Orc empire.

  In order to be close to the battlefield, the half-beast people simply set up camp outside the cave. With Yang Ling's help, soon tents were erected outside the cave, and the half-beasts no longer had to sleep on the snowy ground like they used to.

  Arrange manpower to move the remaining tribesmen to Visen Town. After having no worries, everyone gathered together again to discuss the next plan.

  "Three days, alas, the time is really too tight!" The old fox tribe sighed, "If there were ten or more days, not only could we rally other half-beast tribes in the Ladakh Mountains to join the battle, but we could even go to the Alashan Kou outside the Great Desert to gather scattered half-beasts to assist in the war!"

  "No, elder, we don't have to wait until three days later to take action!" After taking a sip of rum, Yang Ling said in a low voice: "Although the spider monster's strength will be greatly reduced three days later, this is still far from enough. We must strike immediately!"

  Attack immediately?

  When Yang Ling said this, let alone the Fox tribe elder and Medusa tribe elder, even Tian Hu You Na was puzzled. For a moment, they couldn't understand what Yang Ling meant.

  "It's simple, when facing the incredibly powerful Spider Monster, we must think of every way to consume its power. Send the brave warriors in shifts, constantly attacking, even if they can't heavily injure the Spider Monster itself, at least they can massively eliminate the spiders it summons. Force it to continuously summon spiders to assist in battle, thereby indirectly consuming its physical strength, magical power and mental energy!"

  According to Tian Hu You Na's explanation, the exit of the grand hall was shrouded in white mist, and the spider monster couldn't rush out. In this way, as long as they defended the exit of the grand hall, everyone could advance and retreat freely. They could divide the army into several teams, take turns attacking, and continuously consume the enemy's strength.

  After smoothly persuading the half-beast to willingly relocate the elderly, women and children to Visen Town, Yang Ling understood that his plan had already succeeded halfway. Next, as long as he carefully planned, perhaps it wouldn't take too long to complete the entire plan smoothly.

  At that time, he would no longer need to personally lead the troops to suppress bandits, and could devote more time and energy to cultivation. He also had more time to plan how to rapidly develop the strength of Weisen Town.
