254: Monster Legion

"Didn't you say that everyone here is a Yao Beast from the Sealed Land? If so, we're all one family, so why differentiate between us?"

"Your elder brother is short on manpower, that's why he's asking for your help. You're hesitating and unwilling to agree. Could it be that you look down on your elder brother?"

"The Sealed Land doesn't belong to just our Flame Demon Royal Clan. These humans won't only cause trouble in the Southwest Area. Are you all planning to stand by and do nothing?"

"If that's the case, then I won't bother either. At worst, I'll just let the Yao Beasts under my command hide. I refuse to believe these humans will continue to linger here."

The Flame Demon Head's voice was like a booming bell, his face incredibly grim as he spoke.

A hint of ferocity gleamed in his eyes.

It was as if, should the Windrunner Beast Head refuse again, he would directly make a move.

"How can you say that, elder brother? The Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan will naturally give its full support. How about this, I'll return now to mobilize troops. One hundred Wind Swift Beasts and ten thousand affiliated Yao Beasts, at your elder brother's command, how does that sound?"

The Windrunner Beast Head said, gritting his teeth.

His heart was bleeding.

One hundred Wind Swift Beasts, these were all direct descendants of their Royal Clan.

Even the entire Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan only had a few thousand direct descendants.

Not to mention ten thousand affiliated Yao Beasts; these were Yao Beast races subservient to the Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan.

Although not as precious as the direct descendants, in battles against other Royal Clans, these Yao Beasts were the best cannon fodder.

Deploying so much power at once, even the Windrunner Beast Head felt a pang of heartache.

"Hahaha, I knew you were reliable, my brother. It's settled then."

"Later, I will find the Royal Clans from the other several areas and have them also send a portion of their forces. With our combined efforts, we can definitely wipe out these humans in one fell swoop."

The Flame Demon Head laughed uncontrollably as he spoke.

As he spoke, he was about to drag the Windrunner Beast Head to eat together.

However, the Windrunner Beast Head directly refused. He didn't want to stay in this dangerous place.

After seeing the Windrunner Beast Head off, the Flame Demon Head's expression finally turned grim.

From the shadows, a Flame Demon strategist emerged.

"Head, the Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan intends for us to be cannon fodder, to test the true strength of these humans!"

"I naturally know. Furthermore, this is not only the intention of the Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan, but also the intention of those high and mighty Leaders."

The Flame Demon Head's voice was incredibly cold as he spoke.

Hearing this, the strategist gasped: "You mean, those Leaders want our Flame Demon Royal Clan to be cannon fodder? Doesn't our Flame Demon Leader care?"

The Flame Demon Head shook his head: "No, those Leaders didn't explicitly name our Flame Demon Royal Clan to be cannon fodder. It's just that for them, it doesn't matter which race acts as cannon fodder."

The strategist was somewhat puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The Flame Demon Head let out a long breath: "Those Leaders, no matter which race they come from, the moment they gain the status of Leader, they are already different from us."

"In their hearts, their feelings for their birth race have long since faded. For them, the most important thing is to leave this cursed place, the Sealed Land."

"And these humans are their hope of leaving. You should know that for us Yao Beasts, the best way to achieve Breakthrough is to hunt human blood food."

"Therefore, for those Leaders, their goal is only one: successfully hunt these humans, obtain human blood food, and raise their Realm."

"Since they can't fathom whether these humans have any trump cards for survival, they naturally need some cannon fodder to go and probe. Whether it's the Flame Demon Royal Clan or the Wind Swift Beast Royal Clan, as long as the truth can be probed, those Leaders don't care which race it is."

Hearing these words, the strategist finally understood the Flame Demon Head's meaning.

It didn't matter which race served as cannon fodder, as long as all the humans' trump cards could be probed.

"So that's why you used both coaxing and intimidation to force the Windrunner Beast Head to also send some personnel, hoping to avoid too much loss for the Flame Demon Royal Clan?"

"Exactly. Wanting the Flame Demon Royal Clan to be cannon fodder is simply a pipe dream. When those Leaders leave the Sealed Land, we still have to survive. If we lose too much power, how can we compete with other races? If there's sacrifice, we sacrifice together."

The Flame Demon Head sneered repeatedly as he spoke.

"Then why didn't you refuse?"

The strategist asked again.

"Do we have the right to refuse? Those Leaders can be high and mighty not just because of a status, but because of their terrifying strength."

The Flame Demon Head sighed deeply.

The Leaders have already transcended above the Yao Beast races.

Unless all the Yao Beast races united, they couldn't deal with those Leaders.

But this was not something the Flame Demon Head could decide.

He could only obey.

However, he also had his bottom line.

He would absolutely not agree to the Flame Demon Royal Clan being the sole cannon fodder.

If there was to be cannon fodder, every Royal Clan had to send Yao Beasts.

If they were to die, they would all die together!

...Everything was just as the Flame Demon Head had guessed.

Those Leaders, though from different races, had long since lost most of their feelings for their respective races, with only the desire to leave the Sealed Land in their hearts.

Even when the Flame Demon Leader learned that Ling Feng intended to use others to achieve his goals, driving the Flame Demon Royal Clan to be cannon fodder, he only made a fuss for a bit, exchanged for some benefits, and then let it go.

"It seems the possibility of making the Flame Demon Royal Clan cannon fodder is not high."

"If they don't obey, then destroy them directly!"

"Doing so will cause other Royal Clans to resist, which is not worth it."

"It's better to follow the Flame Demon Royal Clan's suggestion: each Royal Clan sends a group of personnel to jointly encircle and suppress."

"Wouldn't doing this be too much of a fuss? They are only a few humans!"

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can force out all of those humans' trump cards and successfully obtain their blood food, no amount of caution is too much."

The Leaders began to discuss animatedly.

They were already getting anxious.

Human blood food was right before their eyes, yet they still had to be hesitant, making them wish they could just act directly.

"Our goal is to leave the Sealed Land; everything else is minor. What if all the Yao Beasts are sacrificed? As long as we can leave, it's a victory. This matter is settled: each Royal Clan will send one hundred direct descendants and ten thousand affiliated, forming a large army to encircle and suppress the humans!"

Finally, the Old Lion spoke, finalizing the matter.

These human blood foods were something the Demon Beast Leaders were determined to get.

This was their only hope of leaving the Sealed Land, and no one was willing to give up.

Even if it meant sacrificing all the Yao Beasts, they would not hesitate!
