165: Wind Riding Tribe

"Lord, that is the Wind Riding Tribe's territory. Among the three major tribes, the Eagle Tribe is the strongest, the Wind Riding Tribe is the weakest, and our White Wolf Tribe's strength is in the middle."

Montoya pointed to a plain in the distance as he introduced it to Renn.

"The Wind Riding Tribe controls over a dozen wind spirit sacred trees. Those wind spirit sacred trees bear a batch of wind spirit fruits every few years. Warriors who consume the wind spirit fruits will develop the ability to control the wind."

"The Wind Riding Tribe relied on the wind spirit fruits to cultivate two types of powerful warriors: Gale Swordsmen and Storm Archers."

When mentioning the Gale Swordsman and Storm Archer, Montoya's tone revealed a hint of envy.

"A tribe that can cultivate two types of special-class warriors is still the weakest?"

Renn couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Yes, Lord. Currently, the Wind Riding Tribe has a total of less than two hundred thousand people, and they occupy the least amount of land."

"Although Gale Swordsmen and Storm Archers are very powerful, their weaknesses are also quite obvious. One is their small numbers, and the other is the limitation on their talent growth."

"The Wind Riding Tribe does not have a cultivation technique inheritance like our White Wolf Tribe. Merely relying on wind spirit fruits cannot cultivate Elder-level powerhouses."

"Before the Holy Lord was born, the Wind Riding Tribe was once the strongest tribe in this world. Back then, Elder-level powerhouses were extremely rare, and Gale Swordsmen and Storm Archers were enough to deter all external enemies."

"But later, the Holy Lord was born. With his absolute power, the Holy Lord swept through many tribes. Many tribes were wiped out, leaving only our three major tribes. Afterward, the Holy Mountain was established, dividing the land into three regions for our three tribes to live and multiply."

"Rumor has it that the Holy Lord had no father or mother and was born of heaven and earth, which is why he possessed such powerful strength. However, in the beginning, before he had mastered that power, the people of the Eagle Tribe helped him."

"Later, with the help of the Holy Lord, the once-weak Eagle Tribe rose to become the most powerful tribe. Our White Wolf Tribe's warriors also followed that Holy Lord, which is how we obtained the White Wolf Secret Technique, and the tribe's strength was greatly enhanced."

"As the formerly strongest tribe, the Wind Riding Tribe not only failed to gain the Holy Lord's friendship but was also his enemy. Originally, the Holy Lord intended to wipe out the Wind Riding Tribe, but later, the Wind Riding Tribe offered up their Holy Maiden to save the tribe."

"Rumor has it that the Wind Spirit Holy Maiden of that year was the world's number one beauty and the most talented person in the history of the Wind Riding Tribe. At that time, she had already reached Elder-level strength and was very likely to become an even more powerful existence."

"I haven't seen that Holy Maiden, so I don't know how beautiful and powerful that Legendary existence truly was. But she was indeed capable and resourceful; she persuaded the Holy Lord, and the Wind Riding Tribe was finally preserved."

Montoya told the history of the three tribes and the Holy Mountain to Renn, giving Renn a basic understanding of this Sub-plane.

"wind spirit sacred trees!"

"Sounds like a great treasure. If I can get them into my hands, combined with Dora's powerful abilities, I'll be able to control two more powerful troop types."

Renn had no interest in some Wind Spirit Holy Maiden or Holy Lord. No matter how Legendary they once were, they were now just a handful of dust and fleeting clouds. Renn cared more about his current gains.

"Ross!"

"Lord, I am here!"

"Send someone back to bring two more thousand-man squads. I need more troops. Also, go find Alistair and Cecilia and tell them to come over as well."

After grasping the information about this Sub-plane, Renn immediately decided to increase the forces invested, striving to obtain the maximum benefit.

This Sub-plane was much larger than Kapdo had anticipated. The forces prepared previously were somewhat insufficient, but fortunately, it wasn't too late to supplement them.

Renn coveted the treasures of the Wind Riding Tribe, but he also understood the principle of swallowing the food in his mouth before taking another bite to avoid choking.

The migration of the White Wolf Tribe's population of over three hundred thousand has already taken up too much of his energy. The two thousand-plus warriors he brought are a bit stretched thin dealing with such a massive migration project, making it impossible to spare more men to go and conquer the Wind Riding Tribe with him.

Renn didn't fully trust Montoya and the other high-ranking members of the White Wolf Tribe either; he had to personally oversee things here.

"Then I'll leave it to you for now, Master Kapdo. Go and keep an eye on those treasures of the Wind Riding Tribe for me. I can do without the population and other resources, but those wind spirit sacred trees are a must-have."

"Don't worry, with me there, those things are all yours!"

Kapdo was extremely confident. Without the presence of a Legendary, there were no enemies in this Sub-plane who could threaten him.

"The space stones and law crystals won't be produced until the final moment of the plane's collapse. This Sub-plane will take at least another half a month to collapse, so you still have less than half a month to migrate this population."

"After half a month, we will need to prepare to collect the space stones and law crystals. Originally, if we were the only ones entering this plane to collect the crystals, it shouldn't have been difficult."

"But now that an unknown opponent may have appeared, we must be prepared for battle."

Renn nodded.

"I understand. I will handle the matters of the White Wolf Tribe over the next few days."

After Kapdo left, Renn focused on migrating the White Wolf Tribe. Groups of people were transported to the Red River Territory through the Plane Passage.

Renn settled these people in the area east of the Red River Valley.

A day later, Alistair and the others arrived with two thousand members of the Guard Army, and the manpower in Renn's hands suddenly became much more abundant.

After spending another day organizing the migration work, Renn took Alistair and the others to find Kapdo, leaving Ms. Melissa and the Magic Wolf Knights led by Ross to guard the Plane Passage.

With Ms. Melissa, a Gold Peak powerhouse, stationed there, Renn wasn't afraid of anything happening to the Plane Passage.

As for the White Wolf Tribe, after seeing Renn demonstrate his powerful strength and the appearance of one powerful Elder-level powerhouse after another, the high-ranking members of the White Wolf Tribe became even more cooperative.

After arranging the migration work at the Plane Passage, Renn rushed to the Wind Riding Tribe to meet up with Kapdo.

"Arranged everything so quickly?"

Kapdo was a bit surprised to see Renn arrive; it had been less than three days since Renn had come over.

"Yes, with Ms. Melissa stationed there, there shouldn't be any problems."

Looking at the city below his feet, Renn asked, "How is it here, Master Kapdo?"

"I've scouted the surrounding area over the past few days. This Sub-plane doesn't have many resources, and these natives have exploited it quite thoroughly. Anything of value has been gathered into their pockets."

"The most valuable treasures in this Wind Riding Tribe are the thirteen wind spirit sacred trees in the center of the city. I've personally inspected those so-called wind spirit sacred trees."

Kapdo paused before saying, "Those thirteen wind spirit sacred trees are all Bronze Rank magic plants, and they are definitely at the peak of the Bronze Rank. They are just half a step away from being Silver Rank treasures."

"I really didn't expect so many magic plants of the same type at the Bronze Peak to be born in such a Sub-plane. Thirteen of them—that's quite a lot."

"That's wonderful."

Renn looked excitedly at the target below, impatient to harvest the fruits.
