In order to secure a piece of land for the Winged Tribe rebels, a private contract was established with the Beast Clan leader: as long as the Winged Tribe continued to harass the Half-Orc Territory, they would agree to cede northern lands to the Winged Tribe.
The Winged Tribe rebels, hailing from the remote Chaotic Magic Domain, earned their title of rebels through a convoluted history.
The Winged Tribe had always been a peaceful race, capable of harnessing elemental powers upon awakening. They could soar high in the sky on their resilient wings, but their innate combat abilities were limited. Initially, although they occupied a vast area, the terrain was not favorable; they were situated on the edge of the magic domain, close to the Abyss of Death.
The Abyss of Death is an unfathomable chasm; no matter how powerful one's magical abilities are, if caught by the swift winds within, there is no return. The Winged Tribe suffered heavy casualties due to the Abyss of Death, as their aerial nature made them vulnerable to being swept away. At that time, the leader of the Winged Tribe had no choice but to seek assistance from the orcs of the Orthodox Demon Realm and the Half-Orcs. A small race, severely weakened, had just settled on Kadar Planet and lacked any other race to come to their aid. Ultimately, during a routine inspection by the King of the Gods, he inadvertently arrived at the edge of the magic domain—the Abyss of Death.
Upon learning of the Winged Tribe's plight, he used his immense power to create a protective barrier over a small area. This barrier had formidable blocking capabilities akin to a magical seal but was too small to protect all of the Winged Tribe.
The leader of the Winged Tribe was overjoyed and not only treated the King of the Gods well but also established a peace treaty, agreeing that from then on, the Winged Tribe would not engage in any wars—except for territorial defense.
Initially, this seemed inconsequential; however, when two kings from the Orthodox Demon Realm learned of this news, they were furious and decided to assist in establishing a powerful protective barrier for the Winged Tribe.
Since parts of both the Dragon Rider Tribe and Flame Tribe were also on the edge of the Abyss of Death, they joined in constructing this barrier. The Orthodox Demon Realm dispatched over five hundred Necromancers, while other races sent several hundred Magic Trainer-level mages.
The Winged Tribe was elated; not only did they join in building efforts, but they also provided all necessary supplies. However, the two kings of the Beast Clan had ulterior motives: if the King of the Gods could come to their realm, why couldn't they venture into his?
At that time, many mysterious figures appeared at the borders of Divine Realm, prompting the divine beings to dispatch more guards.
After more than three hundred Earth days, the barrier isolating the Abyss of Death was finally completed. On its final day, hundreds of high-level mages and Necromancers activated this barrier and stored large amounts of Energy Crystals within support towers.
Grateful for such assistance, the Winged Tribe expressed their appreciation and supported commands from Orthodox Demon Realm; however, due to previous agreements, they promised to maintain a neutral stance moving forward.
Among those influential within the Winged Tribe was the Blazing Fire Clan—a family involved in constructing the barrier. They held decision-making power regarding matters concerning the Winged Tribe and collaborated with two other families to determine all affairs related to their people’s lives and military actions—primarily defensive battles.
When S. Rikeqi killed his own brother and ascended to sit upon the throne of Demon Palace, he proclaimed himself Beast King—indirectly asserting his claim over all realms within his magic domain. S. Rikkichi demanded that each race contribute a certain number of troops; this was not only to bolster his own forces but also to control those races. After all, having one’s kin under another's command necessitated caution in action.
The Winged Tribe also dispatched a garrison, with the first batch being the Xuan Yue Family, the second batch the Sand Family, and finally the Blazing Fire Clan. This rotation among the three major families naturally placed the Xuan Yue Family in the position of the eldest brother due to their long history.
Not long ago, the Blazing Fire Clan faced severe weather at their base, resulting in no harvest. Many residents of the Blazing Fire Clan perished due to a lack of energy.
Such a situation was rare, and it just so happened that it was the Blazing Fire Clan's turn to send elite troops to garrison at Beastman Village. With their population dwindling, the Blazing Fire Clan found themselves marginalized by the other two families. Unable to muster enough troops, they lost support from the Winged Tribe. The clan leader, Du Lie, found himself in a very awkward position; the only thing that brought him joy was that his son, Du Yu, was about to reach his awakening moment.
Despite any disdain directed at him, Du Lie swallowed his pride and created an excellent environment for Du Yu to successfully awaken.
The awakening of a member of the Winged Tribe is not only a means of instant energy enhancement but also a perilous endeavor. If one fails, not only do they fail to gain their expected abilities, but they also risk losing their wings and becoming crippled. For someone living under harsh conditions like those in the demon realm, this is akin to death or even worse.
The result of Du Yu's awakening shocked the entire Winged Tribe: he became a Cicada-Winged Fire Beast.
The Cicada-Winged Fire Beast is one of the three true forms of the Winged Tribe, possessing immense power and an unpredictable flight pattern due to its uniquely shaped wings. This incited jealousy from the other two families, who sought to use Du Yu's status as an excuse to forcibly assign him as a garrison member and reclaim power from the Blazing Fire Clan.
The Blazing Fire Clan has a history spanning millions of years; they would never compromise and could only resist. However, due to insufficient energy reserves, they suffered defeats and retreated continuously. Fortunately, Du Lie had maintained good relations with surrounding tribes and had already arranged escape routes.
After their capital city in the sky was breached, all members of the Blazing Fire Clan passed through Dragon Rider Tribe and Demon Dragon Clan before reaching Burning Sun City in Beastman territory. There, they established an agreement with Beastman leader Delo to settle in regions bordering Half-Orc Territory. The cost for the Winged Tribe was merely to contribute a certain amount of labor periodically, which was quite favorable. The other two families, Xuan Yue and Sand, dared not attack upon seeing that the Blazing Fire Clan had allied with the Beastmen and thus had no choice but to give up.
They made a significant mistake by forgetting to announce Du Yu's identity; otherwise, Delo would certainly not have accepted such a dangerous individual.
Originally, relations between Half-Orcs and Beastmen in Orthodox Demon Realm were friendly. However, over time, tensions arose between the two kings of Orthodox Demon Realm due to racial differences. The relationship between Half-Orcs and Beastmen became strained; yet for the sake of maintaining stability within Orthodox Demon Realm, they continued to coexist somewhat coldly.
S. Rikechi’s earlier act of killing his own brother had caused turmoil in the demon realm; however, due to his title as Beast King being well-earned, no one dared oppose him. This situation worried the Beastmen about whether their race would be annihilated by these Half-Orcs. At this critical moment, when the Winged Tribe arrived with a group of rebels seeking merely a place to reside without any other extravagant demands.
Initially indifferent, Beast King Delo soon devised a plan: he requested that the Winged Tribe disrupt Half-Orc peace...
As Du Yu prepared for his complete awakening, his father Du Lie shouted "Be careful," reminding him of his father's words. When he saw his father about to be consumed by the Two-Headed Serpent's swallowing magic, he had no choice but to abandon his freedom and choose surrender.
"Are you really surrendering just like that? Cicada-Winged Fire Beast, is that all you've got?" S. Rikkichi raised his head and looked at the pair of fiery, oval-shaped wings behind Du Yu.
"Ceasefire!"
"Ceasefire!" As Du Yu issued the surrender order, the frontline commanders from both sides promptly gave the ceasefire command, bringing an end to this battle that had no clear victor.
The participating Winged Tribe and Half-Orc soldiers were puzzled; the announcement came just as both sides had entered a critical moment. The Winged Tribe soldiers were particularly confused, but when their commander offered a slight explanation, everyone fell silent.
Du Yu was known for his filial piety; this time, he sacrificed his freedom for his father, which was typical of him.
Initially, the Winged Tribe was prepared to accept the reorganization by the Half-Orcs, but the situation took them by surprise.
S. Rikkichi transformed into his human form and immediately issued orders to his commanders. He granted the rebellious Winged Tribe a piece of land sufficient for their survival and tasked them with guarding the border. At first, the commander was perplexed, but he quickly understood and replied with a "Got it!" before running off.
At that moment, a soldier from Demon Palace rushed in to report that Hong Lickqi had arrived! After taking one last look at the now quiet battlefield, he hurried off with the guards toward Beastman Village.
Unable to find his father, Hong Lickqi had no choice but to ask the guards within Demon Palace. Fortunately, his father had previously instructed him to call him Young Master and diligently made his way to the battlefield outside Beastman Village.
Before long, Hong Lickqi sensed a familiar energy approaching. He stopped healing, stood up, and walked out of Demon Palace.
In the square, father and son met.
"Son... How is the mission going? Have you discovered anything valuable?" S. Rikkichi stood to Hong's right, not noticing his son's injuries.
"Father, I have some unfortunate news..." Hong Lickqi slightly turned aside, revealing his unmasked wounds to S. Rikkichi.
"What happened? How did you get hurt?" He was genuinely worried about his son and immediately conjured a Healing Magic Sphere around Hong's wounds.
"Another pair of soldiers has been sent by the Galaxy, and their weapons are even more formidable than those we brought before. This time, three thousand Beast Soldiers, with only a few managing to escape..." Hong Lickqi said as he walked into the Demon Palace.
The guard took a quick glance at the situation before moving on to his post. He had initially hoped for some reward, but upon seeing Young Master's wound, he held his tongue.
"So... what about Tiger Beast and Fire Beast?" S. Rikkichi still cared deeply for his two right-hand men. Especially Tiger Beast, whom he had always treated like a son, despite being a Half-Orc from the Beast Clan.
"Fire Beast is fine, but Tiger Beast tried to save a few Beast Soldiers and... didn't make it out..." Hong Lickqi's voice trembled slightly. Although he felt a twinge of jealousy towards the Half-Orc, Tiger Beast had always treated him like a brother and taught him many things. Now that Tiger Beast was gone, his voice choked with emotion.
"What? Tiger Beast is dead?!" S. Rikkichi exclaimed, nearly shouting.
Hearing the Beast King's roar, the surrounding guards rushed into the square like a tide. Thinking something significant had happened, they halted upon seeing only their king and Young Master standing there, waiting for orders.
Realizing his outburst in front of so many guards, S. Rikkichi gestured for them to disperse, which they did reluctantly.
"Yes, Father!" Hong Lickqi replied quietly, lowering his head. He could sense the pressure of his father's anger building; it seemed the Beast King was indeed furious.
"This is intolerable! We must deal with them properly!" S. Rikkichi declared fiercely as he swept into the grand hall. His eyes turned pitch black, and his tongue began to retract, almost resembling a serpent's flicking tongue.
Seeing his father on the verge of losing control over his inner energy, Hong Lickqi quickly interjected:
"Father, please don't be angry. Let me explain the situation... The weapons they brought this time are quite powerful; after all these centuries, they must have learned some new techniques. If we charge in recklessly, it won't be easy to defeat them. Besides, if they can't handle us, they can retreat into space to regroup; there's no way we can wear them down."
"What do you mean...?" Hearing his son's comforting words lightened S. Rikkichi's mood considerably. He sat down and waited quietly for Hong's plan.
"We can injure one of their companions. I believe they won't understand our magic and won't be able to heal from the Death Fire I cast. The Death Fire will gradually consume their soul until they perish; perhaps they'll never even discover the cause... According to the habits of the Earthlings from the Galaxy, they won't let this go easily and will surely seek revenge. We can use this opportunity to prepare ourselves and ensure they have no chance to escape—ideally capturing them!" As Hong Lickqi spoke passionately, he completely forgot about his own wounds and gestured animatedly. His voice grew louder as S. Rikkichi's frown began to ease.
"My son... I don't know much about them either; I'll leave this matter in your hands!" S. Rikkichi said while casting a glance at the statue of the Demon King.
"Alright..." Hong Lickqi said, preparing to leave when he was quickly called back by his father.
"Are you alright? Is your injury okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Father. My injury is nothing serious..." Although Hong said this, his foot suddenly slipped as he stepped forward, and he overlooked the wound on his foot.
"Let me go instead... You need to take care of your injury. I will set up a trap and definitely capture them!!!" S. Rikkichi said as he stood up, finished the tea in the stone bowl, and rushed out of the Demon Palace.
Watching his father's figure, Hong Lickqi smiled complexly...
Unbeknownst to him, the Dream Seeker II had already begun preparations to invade the Demon Realm once again.
To avoid any accidents, they utilized multiple Satellites to comprehensively survey the situation in the Demon Realm, followed by a planning session among everyone.
"I hope everyone can return safely..." Reynold prayed as the time for their assault drew near.
The other members were also filled with enthusiasm, eagerly awaiting this moment.
Whose strategy would prove to be superior?
Reynold didn't know; he understood that he was about to step into danger, but it was a risk he had to take. Comrades... as dear as brothers!!!
