But in this moonlight forest surrounded by heavy fog, you can't feel the burning sensation of the scorching sun.
At this time, Daxiang's main city was above the royal palace.
After the dragon-bearded old man sitting firmly on the throne signaled the king to read the report, all the ministers of His Highness became excited——
"Your Majesty, the Kai clan's army killed two of my lieutenant generals. This debt cannot be settled just like that!"
"That's right. The Yi clan is also a silver trader after all, and their material resources are quite extraordinary."
"Now that there is a legitimate reason for the crusade, we can't just take advantage of the Kai clan in vain."
"Yes! Make a challenge to them."
…
Many people immediately said that they would replace it with force, but some people thought that after careful consideration, it was inappropriate to attack by force——
"Your Majesty, during the decisive battle between the Da clan and the Kai clan to rectify their names, both sides swore in the name of the Moonlight God, and they were worthy of heaven and earth."
"In this way, we have neither the name of helping the subordinate tribes nor the reason to avenge our own people."
"Besides, once things get serious and other super tribes intervene, I'm afraid the truth about the massacre of the city that day will not be concealed!"
"Yes, in the past few days, a number of senior members of the Ya clan have suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and news of the brutal robbery of tribal resources has spread throughout the Moonlight Forest."
"If Your Majesty were to launch a forceful war against a little-known tribe in the southeast region at this time, he might be suspected of 'murdering and silencing', which would cause unnecessary trouble."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you should be cautious when using your troops at this time. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to think twice!"
"Ahem..."
The ministers each held their own opinions and argued, but after King Daxiang coughed twice, they all fell silent.
The old man on the throne slowly rubbed his fingers and said slowly: "At this time... it is indeed easy to get burned by sending troops to an inconspicuous tribe in the southeast region."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Those ministers who did not advocate sending troops sang in unison.
However, while the compliments of the courtiers were still ringing in his ears, the old man with a dragon beard suddenly changed his subject: "But if he doesn't move now, let him go for three to five years."
"When the turmoil of the Koi Carp and Beast Fighting City is completely over, I'm afraid the Kai clan will have almost digested the benefits gained."
"At that time, if we attack it again, it will be like eating tasteless and discarding useless chicken ribs..."
Upon hearing this, he advocated an immediate declaration of war and sent troops to Yinye Ridge. The ministers shouted "wise" again.
The old king with long beard rinsed His Highness's ministers for a while, then smiled lightly and said: "Hehehe, in fact, what you all said is reasonable, but there is always a little meaning missing, so it is difficult to have the best of both worlds."
"I think that we don't necessarily have to fight against the Kai clan to the death."
Someone with an irritated reaction suddenly realized: "What does the king mean...to accept him as his subordinate?"
"Haha, yes, but not entirely."
The old man with a long beard slowly narrowed his eyes and raised his chin slightly as he said: "As a silver-level merchant, the Yi clan must have many intertwined forces in the southeastern region."
"This time the Yi tribe suddenly surrendered. Are those tribes just watching a lot of benefits fall into the pockets of the Kai tribe, but they don't want to take a bite out of it?"
"Humph, in my opinion... although the Kai clan has captured the isolated city of Silver Leaf Ridge, they may not be able to defend it."
Having said this, the old barbarian king suddenly stretched out his hand and said: "Da Xiang Youlong, prepare two edicts for this king."
"This letter is written to the King of the Kai clan. If he can win to the end despite a group attack, you will bring my king's edict and let him become the subordinate teacher of my Da Xiang clan."
"It's just like the previous Da clan: as long as the Kai clan can meet the conditions of paying tribute every year and obeying orders, the king of the Kai clan can continue to govern his own clan, and he can also have the great backer of the Da Xiang clan.
Come to think of it, he won't refuse."
"As for this second seal... it's what you want to bring to the leader of the alliance who besieged Silver Leaf Ridge when the Kai clan was defeated and destroyed."
"You tell him: The Kai clan destroyed my Da clan without permission, causing my Da Xi clan to lose a treasure that was temporarily entrusted to Daruntian."
"I originally wanted to send troops to fight against it, but who would have thought... that these allies would take the lead."
"In this case, I hope they will return the most precious treasure to me, Da Xiangshi."
Speaking of this, the old man with long beard laughed secretly: "Hehehe, they must not have come out with that thing yet, because there is no so-called treasure at all!"
"At that time, if you want to put things to rest in peace..."
"How much profit they made from the newly defeated Kai clan, you have to try every means to deduct it from me." "And you will even deduct the share of the 'treasure' they lost from my Da Xiang clan."
Come out, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Daxiang Youlong nodded fiercely: "Yes, father, please feel at ease, I know what to do!"
It turns out that this burly, tall and mighty Daxiangyoulong is the eldest son of the Daxiang clan king, Daxiangduxian.
Today, he is no more than a young man. He is a superb barbarian, but he has already reached the level of a bronze warrior!
Looking at the entire Daxiang tribe, Daxiang Youlong is the most promising candidate to surpass his father and reach the bronze knight level in his lifetime.
It stands to reason that to conquer a mere Kai clan, one would not have to ask Daxiang Youlong to come forward.
But now, Daxiang Duxian sent his eldest son out. Firstly, he wanted to use Daxiang Youlong's extraordinary identity to show that his Daxiang family attached great importance to the "treasure" that did not exist at all.
Only in this way can the alliance of forces that destroyed the Kai clan be able to weigh the priorities carefully to achieve his goal without losing any blood.
Secondly, if the Kai clan wins in the end, and Da Xiang Youlong appears in front of the Kai clan king as the young master of the Da Xi clan and recruits followers, it will be regarded as giving him the Kai clan's face, making it easier to achieve success.
.
This third thing... is also the point that Da Xiangduxian cares about the most——
Da Xiangduxian never stated the timing of the recruitment from beginning to end.
He never explained: When recruiting the Kai clan, how much tribute should they ask for?
He also did not tell his son: If the Allied forces win and we engage in "blackmail," how much is the right level for this bamboo pole to be knocked down?
In fact, all the above are "examination questions" set by Daxiang Duxian for his son, and they have to be solved by Daxiang Youlong on his own.
The key to solving this problem lies in the word "degree". How to control this "degree" well is a big question for a king!
In Daxiang Duxian's opinion, if his son can complete the matter successfully, I will feel gratified.
Taking a step back, even if Da Xiangyoulong miscalculated this "problem", solved it wrongly, and gave an unsatisfactory answer, it would still be okay.
Because Daxiang Duxian had already determined that neither the Kai clan nor the Yi clan alliance army under the banner of revenge would dare to embarrass his precious son——
Unless they are willing to accept the fate of their entire clan being destroyed!
