They originally did not want to raise suspicions from the faction represented by Wang Long, but now it had become an excuse for him to absolve himself.
"Since I'm not spreading rumors but merely voicing your thoughts, why are you all so agitated? Just relax."
As he spoke, Wang Long unexpectedly sat down without waiting for their consent.
On the other side, Dragon Man was also stunned, not expecting that Wang Long could dismiss this leverage with just a few words. It took him a while to react and he followed suit, sitting down below.
The Giant Clan had always been perceived as quite rude, but today they encountered someone even more disrespectful. Moreover, this guy was a "high-level intellectual," and his words were so articulate that they couldn't pin any blame on him.
"Even so, you shouldn't be so brazen as to spread this information openly," the higher-ups of the Giant Clan finally said, exhausted from arguing with him. They were unwilling to completely cut off their retreat and could not directly take action against Wang Long. They felt incredibly frustrated and angry.
"Come on, don't be so polite. As your friend, it's my pleasure to help you convey your thoughts to your people. You don't need to feel embarrassed about it. A little compensation for my efforts would be appreciated."
In the end, they couldn't pin any charges on Wang Long. All their overt and covert accusations were deflected by his silver tongue. Because they had not firmly stated at the beginning that they were unwilling to stand with those opposing Amohan, the initiative remained firmly in Wang Long's hands.
With no other choice, they could only subtly tell Wang Long to be careful with his words in the future; otherwise, he might be driven out of their territory.
"Leader, I don't understand what significance our actions hold." On the way, Dragon Man looked at Wang Long in confusion. "You can't possibly think that just by spreading some news this time we can force them to side with us? They're not that foolish."
"No, I never thought it would be that simple to force them into submission. They are just quick with their words; I managed to corner them verbally, but they have no intention of compromising in their hearts."
"So…"
"This is merely a performance, understand?"
"A performance for the Demon Clan or Amohan?"
"Exactly. These neutral forces have waited too long—so long that neither Amohan's side nor ours can truly believe they will align themselves with us."
"Everyone should know this by now."
"If that's the case, then what the previous clan leaders said about these people leaning back toward Amohan due to the shift in war dynamics has great strategic value."
"Oh?" This was a practical application of military strategy; nothing intrigued him more than this. He immediately perked up his ears and listened intently.
"They are gathering their tribes not merely to guard against us or Amohan. They likely want to turn passive into active; they want an Initiative Strike!"
"Initiative Strike? The target... is us!"
"That's right. Luckily, we arrived at the Sky Wheel Tribe and discovered their movements. Otherwise, if we had gone to war with Amohan, we would have been stabbed in the back without even knowing what happened."
Dragon Man exclaimed anxiously, "So what should we do? Since that's the case, why were you so eager to block them earlier? It would have been more reasonable to take a step back and ease the conflict between us."
"Is it useful?" Wang Long scoffed. "Since they have already made up their minds to assist the tyrant, it doesn't matter how much we compromise. Unless we can present something that would truly sway them and change their minds right on the spot, nothing we say will matter. Dragon Man, you know the temperament of your Giant Clan. Do you think they would tolerate what I said in the Main Tent today if they didn't have a bigger plan in mind?"
Dragon Man gasped, "No way! The Giant Clan is very straightforward, and that Sky Wheel Chieftain is not someone with deep schemes."
"Then it's settled. Compromising will bring us nothing. If we want to turn the current situation around, we must take the initiative! Besides, there are flaws among them."
Dragon Man smiled wryly, "Spending time with you has made it impossible for me not to acknowledge my foolishness. How could I have thought that my brain was actually quite sharp before?"
"Hahaha." Wang Long laughed heartily, drawing the attention of the surrounding giants. "As I mentioned before, the Sky Wheel Tribe has maintained neutrality for too long, to the point where neither we nor Amohan can fully trust them. Therefore, such rumors will have unimaginable power when they cannot directly deny them. Moreover, we still have other backup plans!"
Sky Pillar.
Amohan sat coldly on his Throne, looking down at his trembling subordinates kneeling below.
Since Amohan took control of Sky Pillar, he had already moved the residence of the Giant Spirit God to this unknown Little Valley. This was done to give him a sense of security!
Ever since he betrayed the former Giant Spirit God and collaborated with the Demon Clan and Yin Ghost Clan, he appeared to be thriving on the surface, with no one daring to challenge him. However, in reality, he was filled with anxiety—worried that his subordinates would look down on him and betray him one moment, and then feeling that the Demon Clan and Yin Ghost Clan would not trust him so easily and might send formidable assassins like those who killed the Giant Spirit God after him!
This was also why he suddenly requested to move his residence here.
Fortunately, a series of recent victories had improved his mood somewhat.
But today, bad news struck again after a long absence, casting a shadow over his heart once more.
"Repeat the information you've gathered!"
"We recently received news that that guy Wang Long took a giant to the Sky Wheel Tribe, and according to their claims, they have reached an agreement with the Sky Wheel Tribe, which has now sided with them against us!"
"Hmph! How could that be possible!" As soon as this giant finished speaking, an elder on his right sneered, "If that were true, how could they be so loud about it? Wouldn't that just alert us? This must be their scheme to sow discord!"
"Yes, that makes sense."
"That can't be said." Another elder, who had always looked down on him, immediately opposed, "Who decided that after they reach an agreement, they must keep it confidential and not shout about it everywhere? I think that just plays into your way of thinking. Just imagine, their cooperation with us is already unknown to anyone; standing on the enemy's side now means they won't even bear the guilt of betrayal. On the contrary, their alliance with the enemy is already common knowledge. If they betray that, they will never be able to hold their heads high again. Which is more serious, I don't need to say."
"Oh? So you mean they really betrayed our agreement?"
"Hmph! In my opinion, they never truly intended to reach any agreement with us. From the very beginning, this was a trap they had planned!"
"Elder Hong, you need to have evidence when you speak. Our agreement is already established; without evidence, how can we just push them away? That would drive them straight into the enemy's camp!"
"Well, so what?" Elder Hong scoffed disdainfully, "Did we achieve our recent string of victories with their help? No! It was all thanks to our most valiant warriors and the wise leadership of the Giant Spirit Lord! We didn't rely on them in the past, and we don't need to rely on them in the future!"
"You are really inflexible!"
"Say what you want." Elder Hong still dismissed his opinion, "Giant Spirit Lord, have you forgotten? When their envoys came here to set conditions, their arrogant demeanor was the greatest insult to you. They thought themselves so important, but now it seems that was all intentional. They didn't want to ally with us; they only wanted to provoke us. Even that agreement itself might have been a huge conspiracy!"
"But what if this time Wang Long deliberately spread this news to make us doubt them? If that's the case, then we've fallen right into their trap!"
The two elders and their respective factions immediately began arguing fiercely, each unwilling to back down.
