Chapter 399 I'm not fighting anymore!
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered; you're leaving no way out for anyone.
Since they can't fight back against you, they can only seek cooperation with people from other forests.
So, your real enemy isn't the Beast Tribe.
The enemies of the Beast Tribe are not the Leopard Tribe or the Bear Tribe.
These are the other forests around you that could attack you at any time because of the divine tree.
Have you ever heard the saying, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever"?
Huangfu Zique greatly admired the unity among the various ethnic groups in the Taihe Forest. No matter how great the internal conflicts were, the secret of the sacred tree had not been exposed by anyone for a thousand years.
This is quite rare, indicating that not a single person has betrayed Taihe Forest.
This was during wartime.
Even when the entire Beast Tribe was on the verge of annihilation, they never considered using the Divine Tree to seek help from other forests.
His thoughts are simple and unpretentious.
They're all inflexible.
If we can unite so much on this issue, why can't we coexist peacefully?
Someone retorted, "My walls are airtight!"
Doesn't the door let in any air when you open it?
"This counts?"
Huangfu Zique rolled his eyes: "No secret can remain hidden forever."
Others can always find a loophole to exploit.
See this stick? One stick is easy to break, but what about a bunch? A bundle? Can you even break that?
Pointing to the rat-headed man next to him demonstrating with a bundle of sticks.
"If one person cannot stop the invasion of foreign enemies, what about thousands upon thousands of people working together?"
If you wish to protect the sacred tree forever, the only way is to gather all the power of this entire forest.
Only when everyone unites can we ensure peace and security.
The tiger-headed leader didn't think they could control the other two tribes after they submitted: "Unity is easier said than done."
"Exactly, the Bear Clan would never be willing to unite with my Leopard Clan!" The Leopard Clan leader mocked his wishful thinking.
Huangfu Zique put his hands on his hips and looked at them with amusement: "So, if a foreign enemy invades one day, you will fight like a disorganized mess?"
"They couldn't possibly know about the existence of the Divine Tree!" The leopard clan leader insisted, stating that it hadn't been leaked for a thousand years and wouldn't be in the future.
Fu Tingyu touched his nose, hiding the smile on his lips. He wanted to see how Zi Que could persuade these people today.
Huangfu Zique twitched his eye. What kind of thought process is this?
"What if it has been leaked? Leopard Prisoner, are you capable of withstanding an attack by tens of thousands of troops?"
Leopard Prisoner shook his head. Tens of thousands of troops, even if you add other forces in the Taihe Forest, they still can't stop them, right?
Huangfu Zique laughed, "It's good that you have this self-awareness: I'm not exaggerating."
If they can't defeat you from one forest, they'll join forces with a second, a third, and a fourth forest.
"Until we defeat you!"
The tiger-headed leader imagined the scene, and before long he shuddered violently, actually suppressing his killing intent and turning to exchange a knowing glance with the leopard leader.
The leopard clan leader received the other party's thoughts, and after silently looking at Huangfu Zique for a long time, his expression softened: "If that day really comes, will you have a way to fight against the other forests?"
Huangfu Zique observed the subtle atmosphere between the two leaders; they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Yo ho!
He finally understood: "That depends on how much fruit your sacred tree can produce each year!"
"Countless!" The tiger-headed leader no longer held back and generously revealed the truth.
Huangfu Zique's breathing became heavier, which meant that as long as he could help them solve the fundamental problem, they could take away a lot of longevity fruits.
"Uh! What's its purpose?"
The wolf-headed strategist replied instantly: "Eat one, and you'll live a hundred years longer, but it only works when you eat the first one in your life. Eating more after that is useless!"
Good heavens, with just a few words from Military Advisor Huangfu, the entire Leopard Clan army actually began to worry.
Amazing!
Huangfu Zique was both amused and exasperated: "Each person only gets one useful seed in their lifetime, and the annual yield is countless."
Then what are you still arguing about? Hurry up and unite all the orcs of Taihe Forest together!
We should strive to increase the population and develop our military capabilities; the more people, the better.
Once Taihe Forest can no longer contain it, we will expand our territory outwards.
When the day comes that you have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of warriors ready to fight, I believe you will no longer have to worry about attacks from other forests.
Even if you loudly proclaim everywhere that you possess a sacred tree,
You are favored by God, and no one dares to be disrespectful to you!
“Yes! This is your true confidence and honor!” Fu Tingyu chimed in with encouragement.
Everyone on the field fell into deep thought, never dreaming that there would be a day when the divine tree would be so widely publicized.
They didn't understand anything else, only two sentences.
Once the secret of the sacred tree is revealed, the various forests will unite to attack them.
Furthermore, if everyone unites and develops vigorously, one day they will be able to proudly proclaim their glory of possessing the sacred tree.
But what does a million-strong army even mean?
Even dozens of forests combined wouldn't have this much military strength, right?
And to expand territory outwards—that's an ideal that's far too ambitious.
I never dared to even think about it before, can this really be achieved?
Compared to having a million-strong army, the leopard clan leader instantly lost interest in the beast tribe of a few thousand people.
Yes, the sacred tree is a gift from God to the entire Taihe Forest. To protect it forever, the only way is to reclaim the surrounding forests, as the white-skinned man suggested.
Until Taihe Forest became the most influential overlord in the entire world!
"Let me go, the fight is over, but surrender is impossible." The leopard chieftain glanced at the person holding him hostage, signaling to release his grip.
All the tribes can unite, but to expect him to submit to Hu Zheng is a pipe dream!
After observing his expression, Mu Yunfei indeed released him.
"Only unified management can ensure that everyone reaches a consensus..."
Next up is Huangfu Zique's personal speech.
He explained in detail to the orcs the various advantages of unified management for their current situation.
Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; the principles remain the same despite the variations. Even if his governing philosophy differs from that of Emperor Tianhuang, it is not much different from managing a company.
Half an hour later, Huangfu Zique was still rambling on, but how many people were actually listening? Most of the orcs had fallen asleep from his rambling.
Fu Tingyu looked at the countless people who were drowsy, and some who looked completely bewildered, as if they were listening to a foreign language.
This scene is hilarious! If the people below shouted, "Well said! May I go and collect my eggs and soybean oil?" it would be even more fitting!
The two leaders, however, remained seated upright throughout, listening intently.
Taking advantage of Huangfu Zique's pause to drink water, the tiger-headed leader quickly raised his hand: "Increasing the population is no problem. Many beast races are extremely good at reproduction, that's it..."
Before he could finish speaking, the leopard chieftain immediately interjected, "The problem is, where will we get so much food to feed them?"
