Chapter 292:180 emptied the Treasure Vault of the Giant Bear Tribe 2
This means that there’s still a possibility for a truce!
Or rather, the fact that the other side presented this wraith army but hasn’t taken action clearly suggests they’re expecting him to negotiate.
Obviously, they’re wary of the chieftain!
This is one of the few good pieces of news for the High Priest at present. “Unfortunately, the chieftain cannot intervene carelessly at this moment. Otherwise, killing this young man directly would inevitably resolve our current crisis!”
The High Priest assumed that once the Necromancer died, his wraith army should naturally dissipate.
Regardless of whether his conjecture can stand, even if it could, their chieftain is currently unable to intervene carelessly.
Moreover, now they are inside their tribe.
If they fail to kill Dean McKenzie in one strike, the consequences could be troublesome!
No one wants a violent confrontation within their own home.
Thus, after reestablishing his composure, the High Priest greeted him with a smile: “Mr. Hodge, what are you doing…”
My master doesn’t have time for conversation with you!”
Before the High Priest could finish speaking, Carney stepped forward interrupting him: “He said your actions have angered him severely!
You must pay a sufficient price to pacify him, otherwise, the consequences will be severe!”
Hearing this, the High Priest’s face darkened looking at Carney before him. Several times, his urge to kill nearly slipped control!
As the High Priest of the Giant Bear tribe, in the absence of the chieftain’s intervention, he was virtually the supreme authority of the tribe.
Within the influence of the Giant Bear tribe, it has been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him this way.
”1 remember you being the chieftain of the Giant Serpent tribe, right?
I have quite an impression of your Giant Serpent Tribe!”
The High Priest responded in a flat tone.
Although his tone was indifferent, the concealed meaning was quite clear.
Kid, know your place!
Standing on the wrong side would have severe consequences.
To this, Carney calmly responded, “It’s an honor to be remembered by you, but right now I am merely a messenger for my master!
He instructed me to tell you that you only have half an hour.
If within half an hour you can’t present something to appease him, then he will vent his rage directly!”
Seeking death!
The surrounding air shivered around the High Priest, his hairs stood on end. It did not take much to discern the High Priest’s mood from his upright hair. He was furious, but what good did it do?
The fury at hand solved nothing.
If a battle broke out, winning was uncertain, and the price the Giant Bear Tribe would have to pay was absolutely unacceptable to him.
“Fine, very well!
What does he want?”
“That depends on your sincerity. Remember, you only have half an hour!”
Having said that, Carney retreated.
The High Priest, watching Carney retreat, his eyes nearly spouted fire.
Nonetheless, he gave the order, having his men prepare the items.
Of course, as the highest authority of the Giant Bear tribe, the High Priest was not merely going to compromise.
Besides arranging for the materials, he also began to evacuate those who were not native to the Giant Bear tribe while mobilizing and assembling the tribe’s forces.
At this moment, the High Priest exhibited the basic quality of a decision-maker.
He was prepared for all eventualities.
If he could placate and resolve the issue with Dean McKenzie through negotiation, then that would be ideal. Otherwise, he would not shy away from a fight; he did not fear a battle!
Even if he could placate Dean McKenzie’s temper, as soon as Dean McKenzie withdrew the wraith army or left the Giant Bear Tribe, the High Priest intended to attack him.
After all, at this moment, the power displayed by Dean McKenzie was a little too terrifying.
If you offend a Necromancer like him, you must annihilate him completely. Otherwise, as long as Dean McKenzie lives, he would be ever anxious! Time passed little by little as the Giant Bear Tribe made preparations. The High Priest, who needed time to prepare, didn’t return until half an hour was almost up.
However, the Necromancer Army did not react at all this time.
Dean McKenzie did not show up, and neither did Carney.
The entire Necromancer Army was as silent as death.
Seeing this, the High Priest realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, the necklace around his neck lit up again before long.
This time, it was the Treasure Vault of the Giant Bear Tribe that was under attack.
A group of skeleton Assassins had suddenly appeared and attacked their treasure vault!
“What?!”
Upon hearing the news, the High Priest changed colors and wanted immediately to order protection on the treasure vault. However, before he could give the command, he turned his attention to the Wraith Army. Although the High Priest did not know about the ‘The Thirty-Six Stratagems’ or diversionary tactics.
He quickly realized that the assault on the Treasure Vault was just to distract him. If he dispersed his forces there, Dean McKenzie would grasp the opportunity to break out.
“I won’t give you that chance!
Since you’ve started this, then go to hell!
Attack!”
At the High Priest’s command, the barbarians of the Giant Bear Tribe swarmed forward, rushing toward the Wraith Army.
The initial stationary Wraith Army began to react at the same time the barbarians attacked, the battle instantly erupted!
The Giant Bear Tribe had an absolute advantage right off the bat.
The Wraith Army no longer had any Six-turn wraiths, and the rest were all Fifth-turn wraiths.
Despite their large numbers, they couldn’t withstand the presence of Six-turn and above, even the High Priest’s pseudo Seven-turn forces were in action.
In the wake of the Giant Bear Tribe’s total mobilization.
The Wraith Army here simply couldn’t hold back, they were constantly retreating.
However, despite the continuous retreat of the Wraith Army, there wasn’t
much of a smile on the face of the High Priest’s side.
Without the presence of a Six-turn entity intervening, it was clear that Dean McKenzie had run away!
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the Wraith Army in front of him had been completely defeated.
As the Wraith Army fell, the trading venue was once again under the control of the Giant Bear Tribe. The High Priest’s face turned even grimmer at this moment.
Because, as he expected, Dean McKenzie had run away.
Not only had he fled, but he had also taken Carney, all the Six-turns wraiths,
and even Carl from the Giant Bull Tribe.
Damn it, none of them were dead!
Worse yet, the entire trade market was.
Whether it was Gold Coins or Materials, all of the items and even some of the buildings had been cleared out.
Looking at the empty trading venue, the High Priest’s face turned pale.
He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
At this moment, the necklace on his chest lit up again, bearing the news from
the Treasure Vault: “High Priest, the Treasure Vault has fallen!”
Upon hearing this news, the High Priest immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
He turned his head to look at the Treasure Vault with disbelief: “Impossible, absolutely impossible, isn’t there a guardian watching over there?”
The reason why the High Priest chose not to reinforce the Treasure Vault area was partly out of fear that Dean McKenzie might escape, and partly owing to the presence of the gatekeeper there.
The gatekeeper’s strength could rank in the top three among the Giant Bear Tribe.
His raw power was hardly inferior to his own.
It was precisely because of the gatekeeper’s presence that he felt reassured.
“High Priest, the gatekeeper is dead!
He was beheaded and died in one shot!”
Upon hearing this news, the High Priest trembled.
It was then that he realized he had seriously underestimated Dean McKenzie’s strength, even after bringing out the entire Wraith Army, he had still underestimated McKenzie.
Dean McKenzie, who could silently slay the gatekeeper, was at least no weaker than him.
No, judging from the way the killing was executed, it was certainly not McKenzie who made the move.
If his skeleton could possess this much strength, one can only imagine McKenzie’s own power.
Noticing this, the High Priest began to regret.
Only now did he realize that he, through his rash actions, had provoked a formidable enemy for the Giant Bear Tribe!
