462: Neighbors of the Eight-sided City

Bafang City is located in a fertile basin, rich in resources.

For Phoenix, a warlike figure among the Demon Gods, it was not easy to occupy this place.

There were not many neighbors around, as the terrain was mostly mountainous. This kind of terrain, with its limited earth pulse energy, had limited treasures, and thus was not occupied by powerful beings.

However, Lin Ye did not let his guard down; instead, he thoroughly investigated the opponent's background.

With the assistance of Sacrifice Power, information was quickly uncovered.

“Demon Wing Tribe – Demon Wing City, Sylvani Tribe – Myriad Manifestations City, Burden-Bearing Tribe – Mountain Moving City.”

A mass of information surfaced in Lin Ye's mind.

Among them, the Demon Wing Tribe came from an upper-middle-tier Small World. Although it couldn't compare to Great Worlds like the Dragon Realm, it was a leader among them, possessing one Venerable and no army souls.

The Sylvani Tribe originated from the Elf Great World, a benevolent race that coexisted peacefully with the elves.

The Elf Great World was not solely inhabited by elves, but rather a vibrant world created by the combined efforts of multiple friendly races, full of Life.

The Sylvani Tribe was only mid-tier within it, but they were skilled at cooperation and communicating with nature, capable of casting multi-person joint magic arrays.

Joint casting was a forte of the elves, and the Sylvani Tribe had inherited some of that skill.

Their direct combat strength was inferior to the Demon Wing Tribe, but their soft power was formidable.

As for the Burden-Bearing Tribe, their individuals were few, yet they managed to occupy a main city primarily due to their immense size and incredibly powerful strength.

While the Burden-Bearing Tribe's physique was not as powerful as special physiques, its heritable nature compensated for this.

Their direct combat strength was even above that of the Demon Wing Tribe, but their small numbers posed no threat.

The treasures in their own territory were enough for them to seek out.

“The Burden-Bearing Tribe is small in number and lacks the capacity for invasion; the Sylvani Tribe is not inherently aggressive, posing minimal threat, but one must still be wary; only this Demon Wing Tribe, having reigned supreme in a Small World and accustomed to dominance, might show some apprehension towards the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, but Vega, he certainly doesn't fear.”

Lin Ye analyzed.

The Demon Wing Tribe is inherently fierce, and with a large population, their War potential is significant, so they naturally wouldn't give up on invasion. This is a powerful race, possessing strong combat capabilities and aggression. They crave territorial expansion and the acquisition of more resources and wealth.

From the Demon Wing Tribe's perspective, how could Vega, someone who occupied Bafang City through petty tricks, be compared to them? Vega was merely a lucky fellow who succeeded by chance.

Indeed, although those miscellaneous legions were numerous, they lacked unified command and training, unable to form effective combat power, and would inevitably be at a severe disadvantage when dispersed for treasure hunting.

In contrast, the Demon Wing Tribe's army had strict organization and discipline, capable of maximizing its combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the army soul born from Vega's own allied legion could only barely repel that Venerable. Faced with even stronger enemies, he was clearly powerless to resist.

Furthermore, the two neighboring factions were not only geographically disadvantaged but also difficult nuts to crack.

They either possessed powerful military forces or had special defensive measures, making the Demon Wing Tribe hesitant to act rashly.

Therefore, if Lin Ye were a member of the Demon Wing Tribe, he would undoubtedly choose to invade Bafang City, a relatively easier target to attack. This would satisfy their ambition while avoiding direct confrontation with other powerful enemies.

After some deliberation, Lin Ye also clarified his thoughts.

After discussing with Vega and others, everyone finally determined the main defensive target to be the Demon Wing Tribe.

.........

“Venerable, our territory isn't enough to go around.”

“Yes, yes, one hundred and eight tribes, yet only a small mountain range, just over ten peaks, it's not enough, far from enough.”

“Venerable, let's attack Bafang City. That place just got a new lucky Demon God, who rose to power by taking other people's wives, truly despicable.”

“That's right, that's right, speaking of which, it's quite explosive. Who would have thought that the famous Seventy-Two Demon Gods were actually cuckolded.”

As soon as gossip was mentioned, the leaders of the various Demon Wing Tribe's tribes immediately opened up.

“After that incident, many adventurers from our side went to Bafang City to investigate.”

“It's so heartbreaking, our tax revenue has plummeted.”

“Just tell me if it was interesting or not? I remember you, this black-haired bastard, also went, and came back saying that he really had strength, the service was thorough, and you enjoyed the gossip.”

“I didn't, don't talk nonsense, you green-haired bastard are the truly hilarious one. Not only did you gossip, but you also wanted to see what the female protagonist looked like. After going to great lengths to see her, you were so infatuated that you couldn't eat or sleep, tossing and turning all night.”

“Slander, I'm accusing you of slander, he's slandering me.”

“Don't explain, I know too. I remember you even specifically found a master at modeling to create a Life-sized figurine of her, and after it was built, you were disappointed that it couldn't compare to the real person, yet you couldn't put the model down.”

“Slander, Venerable, they are all slandering me, Venerable, you must do something!”

Heishan Venerable, at the top, felt his head ache at this sight.

But alas, these tribal chiefs were all his sons, what else could he do?

“Eighteenth, did you really do that?” To be honest, Heishan Venerable was also very curious.

This eighteenth usually seemed like an honest person, unlike his other sons who liked to preen and groom their feathers, and his private Life was reassuring, but he never expected him to be a pervert in private.

“Absolutely not, Venerable, you understand me best.”

“Then after we conquer it, that Moon Demoness belongs to me.”

“Don't even think about it, she's mine.” Black Eighteenth bristled.

“Hahahahaha.”

The others all laughed.

Heishan Venerable also burst into hearty laughter.

The Black Wing Tribe was like this; due to their self-reproducing model, they were far more united than other races.

Unfortunately, their talent in areas like legion building and array inscription, which could unleash the power of unity, was too poor, and they had never been able to utilize this unified strength.

Otherwise, their threat would definitely be comparable to the top ten Demon Gods.

“Let's take down Bafang City and snatch his goddess for Eighteenth.”

“Eighteenth, playing is playing, messing around is messing around, but you must continue your quarterly reproduction tasks. Don't waste precious seeds.”

“Why do you all like females? I prefer males.”

“I like both, I go for anyone pretty I can get.”

“Tsk, you heretics, we are the Demon Wing Tribe, destined for self-consumption. Seeking partners from other races is simply evil.”

The leaders of the Demon Wing Tribe's various tribes did not put Bafang City in their eyes at all.

Their discussion had nothing to do with combat.

Heishan Venerable was no exception; in his opinion, the combined strength of Bafang City was only at the Venerable level, which he could easily handle.

With so many sons (and daughters) under him, dealing with the opponent would be incredibly simple.
