On the tenth day of the arrival, despite the territorial defense battle and the beast tide war, the combined troops of over a thousand lords would number at least thirty to forty thousand.
Moreover, all these troops were flying units, a scale that could potentially cover the entire vast forest sky.
As the saying goes, a flurry of fists can defeat a master, and it’s hard for even two fists to fight four hands.
Tens of thousands of flying units were indeed powerful.
If the Immortal Demon Tribe still existed as it did before, it might truly have been overwhelmed and destroyed by this "sea of troops."
Unfortunately, the current Immortal Demon Tribe possessed the secret ultimate weapon, the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City.
With this in mind, Xiao Mo gradually formulated a plan.
When the [Immortal Slaying Demon Extermination] alliance descended upon the vast forest, he would directly bombard it.
Xiao Mo knew that doing so would inevitably expose the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City, the war fortress.
But Xiao Mo didn't particularly care.
After all, this trump card would be revealed sooner or later.
There wasn't much difference between revealing it early or late.
Most importantly, once the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City was exposed, it would certainly deter many other nefarious individuals with ill intentions.
At the same time, it served as a warning to other lords, a warning that those who dared to offend the Immortal Demon Tribe would surely perish!
As the spoils of war summary interface popped up before his eyes, Xiao Mo stopped thinking further.
[Your troops destroyed the enemy's territory heart. The enemy's territory has completely disappeared. You have won this territorial battle!]
[Destroying the enemy territory, you additionally gained 300 Immortal Demon Stones.]
[You have obtained one residential building blueprint.]
[You have obtained the enemy castle's warehouse reserves of one thousand five hundred Immortal Demon Stones, six Soul Crystals, seven thousand eight hundred units of food, thirty-six thousand four hundred units of wood, fifteen thousand nine hundred units of stone, nine thousand six hundred units of iron essence, various beast materials, and various equipment...]
Destroying a high-level territory yielded so many spoils of war; it was another great harvest.
Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction, storing the Immortal Demon Stones, Soul Crystals, and blueprints.
As for resources like food, wood, stone, and iron essence, they were to be transferred to the little brat first, and then by the little brat to him.
Soon, this large batch of supplies was stored in the warehouse of the Immortal Demon Tribe city.
"Archpriest Mu Chunrou!"
After everything was concluded, Xiao Mo summoned Mu Chunrou and a few other priests.
"Respected Lord! What are your orders?"
The wooden figures' priests bowed in unison.
"Your tribe's mission from now on is to clear the demonic beasts and other indigenous forces around the tribe, and to rapidly improve the strength of all Wooden Warriors!"
"Furthermore, as my territory expands outwards, it will not be long before it borders your tribe's territory, so your tribe does not need to relocate!"
The reason Xiao Mo did not have the Wooden Tribe relocate to the Immortal Demon Tribe was not solely because their territories would soon be contiguous.
The most crucial reason was the sharp decline in the number of demonic beasts within a twenty-five-kilometer radius of the Immortal Demon Tribe.
The Immortal Demon Squad found it difficult to find suitable hunting targets in this area.
The Wooden People, naturally peace-loving and powerful enough that demonic beasts dared not easily invade, thus had a very large population of demonic beasts in their tribal area.
All Wooden Warrior soldiers could freely hunt demonic beasts around their tribe, thereby rapidly improving their strength.
"Also, I will plant the Natural Ancient Tomb in my territory. If you wish, you can visit her anytime!"
"We obey your orders, Lord!"
Mu Chunrou and the other priests bowed respectfully again, responding in unison.
They also agreed with the Lord's words.
The Wooden Tribe had lived in their region for thousands of years; it could be said that it had long become their inseparable homeland.
If they suddenly relocated to the Immortal Demon Tribe, they would inevitably have to start anew.
Moreover, staying in their original location was also very beneficial for their rapid improvement of strength.
"Lord, do you require a team of elite Wooden Warriors to accompany you back to the Immortal Demon Tribe to jointly guard the territory?"
Archpriest Mu Chunrou suddenly asked Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo waved his hand, indicating it was not necessary, and then spoke a long passage with a stern expression.
"In about five days, my territory might encounter some trouble. I will then summon you."
"During this period, your main task is to hunt demonic beasts and improve your strength."
"And do not forget to collect and decompose the corpses of all hunted demonic beasts, storing the obtained food and beast materials. Immortal Demon Stones, Soul Crystals, and blueprints should be stored separately and handed over to me together next time!"
"If you encounter other territorial forces again, show no mercy, and do not need to ask for my permission. Directly lead your army to attack and destroy their territory heart!"
"The era of hegemony, filled with blood and fire, has already begun! Mercy and soft-heartedness will only hasten your tribe's demise!"
"Although the Wooden Tribe is the first indigenous high-level force I have subdued, if your strength does not improve rapidly and keep pace with the development of the Immortal Demon Tribe, you will eventually be shelved or eliminated!"
"I am only telling you this once. What you do from now on is up to yourselves!"
"Lord, please rest assured! The Wooden Tribe will absolutely not disappoint you!"
Seeing Xiao Mo's stern expression, Mu Chunrou and the other priests also responded very solemnly.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Mo nodded slightly.
He was currently quite satisfied with the performance of the Wooden priests.
With the increase in loyalty, their words and actions were becoming more like the soldier factions of the Immortal Demon Tribe, and they also became filled with fighting spirit, rather than being as detached from worldly affairs as before.
Mu Chunrou and the other priests were very intelligent.
They believed that since Mother chose to follow the Lord, this marked the beginning of the Wooden Tribe's rise.
Since the Lord had given them an opportunity, they had to seize it. They did not wish for a day in the future when they would truly be shelved by the Lord, ignored and forgotten.
From some unknown time, their eyes were already filled with excitement and fighting spirit.
They had been stuck at their current level for a long time and did not know how to break through the bottleneck.
Now that a great opportunity to improve their strength was before them, they naturally had to grasp it firmly.
Possessing powerful strength and achieving a long life were the ultimate goals of all beings on the Primeval Continent.
All Natural Wooden People were no exception!
Having arranged everything, Xiao Mo, along with Xian Meng'er and Mo Wuxin, rode the Heavy Sky Sparrow and flew directly towards the Immortal Demon Tribe.
This trip to the Wooden Tribe had gone unexpectedly smoothly for Xiao Mo.
He had initially thought that he might encounter some trouble.
The reason for bringing Xian Meng'er and Mo Wuxin was naturally as bodyguards, ready to fight at any moment.
In fact, as soon as he arrived at the Wooden Tribe, he had secretly communicated with the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City and locked onto the entire tribe.
However, the Wooden Tribe was entirely compliant.
Perhaps this was the spirit of contract of the Natural Wooden race.
But regardless, successfully subduing the Wooden Tribe was a tremendously good thing...
