Chapter 1562: Chapter 55: Taking Advantage
"Haha..."
"You were the ones who started the trouble, so how did it become our fault?
The entire continent knows that the Black Stone Mountain Range is our territory. How dare you centipedes, who can’t face the light, come here to stir things up.
Let me tell you honestly, if you don’t give everyone a satisfying explanation today, there will be no need for you to exist the next time we meet!"
Sky Blue King said mockingly.
Mutual destruction doesn’t exist, but causing trouble is deliberate.
The Magical Beast race is too numerous, with many naturally hostile species, unable to dominate the continent.
This is something even the Sanctuary Divine Beasts know; no one is foolish enough to want to rule the continent, because they can’t even clear their internal hurdles.
Not participating in the continental power struggle doesn’t mean doing nothing.
Now the continent is in such chaos, if nothing is done, the trouble will eventually spread to the Warcraft Clan.
The Giant Foot Centipede Clan broke the rules and became their target for intimidation.
If they hadn’t already planned to stir things up, the Giant Centipedes wouldn’t have been targeted by the Magical Beast Army just after breaking the rules.
After all, there are few suitable targets to slaughter in the confrontation between the two major camps on the Continent of Aslante.
Not exterminating their entire clan directly is because the beasts want to flaunt their power to the outside world.
In a certain sense, the bigger the storm the Giant Foot Centipede Clan causes on the continent, the more successful their display of power will be.
Threatened, Elder Golan gritted his teeth in anger, yet he did not dare gamble.
The Warcraft Clan’s strength is roughly known by the major forces on the continent, but the Giant Foot Centipede Clan is not among them.
Having suffered from information disparity once, the entire Giant Centipede group is jittery and dare not gamble whether the Sky Blue King’s threat could be real.
"Sky Blue King, it’s our fault this time, I can assure you: we won’t expand an inch in the Black Stone Mountain Range in the future.
You can demand any compensation; as long as it’s within our capability, we will try to meet it!"
Elder Golan reluctantly promised.
The current beast tide already troubled the Giant Foot Centipede Clan considerably; a larger scale beast tide might annihilate their clan.
If they suffered heavy losses in the surface world, even retreating to the Earth Core World might not guarantee the continuation of their race.
The Earth Core Passage alone is worth the outside world’s coveting, not to mention the vast territories they rule.
"Haha...
If you had done this earlier, there wouldn’t have been any trouble, causing us to come here for nothing.
Stop the talk, I order your army to retreat from the Black Stone Mountain Range within three days, and you must not return to the Earth Core World.
We will supervise from the side; if you don’t cooperate then..."
Before Sky Blue King finished his words, another group of Flying Magic Beasts appeared from afar, seemingly reinforcements from the depths of the Black Stone Mountain Range.
Leading them were two Sanctuary Gold Eagles, with wings spanning over twenty meters long, capable of stirring up a fierce wind with a single flap.
Seeing this scene, Elder Golan swallowed all his grievances; now was truly not the time to be obstinate.
If the fighting continued like this, the beast tide would only grow larger; even if the Giant Foot Centipedes could withstand this wave of attack desperately, they would still be finished when the Human army came.
If it weren’t for the many magical beasts watching and their longing for the Bright World, he would have immediately taken his clan back to the Earth Core World.
"Sky Blue King, it’s not our intention to occupy the Black Stone Mountain Range; the main reason is that the Earth Core Entrance is here.
Aside from bordering with you, the only neighbors are two Human Kingdoms.
You know this, right? The Human Race is now powerful, and it’s difficult to seize a piece of land from them in a short time.
Previously, we attempted an attack on the Alpha Kingdom, but unfortunately, we fell short and resulted in heavy losses for our army!"
Elder Golan tried to negotiate.
Knowing well that these magical beasts harbor ill intentions, hoping to provoke a war between them and the Human Race, he could only try to maneuver as much as possible.
Deep down he has cursed the King Centipede multiple times; the ability to stir up trouble is simply too astonishing.
Just entering the surface world has attracted the enmity of two major forces to their clan.
"Haha...
You truly are foolish, not even understanding the strength differences between Human Kingdoms!
Let me tell you truthfully, there are distinctions even among the Human Kingdoms.
The top three major nations directly hold over sixty percent of the Human Race’s military power; they can’t be compared to the other kingdoms behind them.
Choosing the strongest opponent from the outset, it looks like living in the Earth Core World for so many years has made you stupid!
No more nonsense!
No matter your difficulties, you must follow our demands.
You have three hours to prepare, then immediately break camp.
Whether it’s revenge on the Alpha Kingdom or bullying the Black Forest People, that’s your own business.
Follow our rules, and we will allow the Earth Core Entrance to remain.
Otherwise, we will destroy the entrance, severing your connection with the Earth Core World, then hand you over to the Human Race as a favor!"
Sky Blue King immediately threatened.
As one of the smartest magical beasts on the continent, the Sky Blue Beast has always been synonymous with trouble, seeking revenge day and night once they are provoked.
The Giant Foot Centipedes are exceedingly unfortunate, having encountered them just after emerging from the Earth Core World.
"First let your followers cease their attack; we will go back to discuss and give you a reply in an hour!"
