CHAPTER 1209: 539: A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH! REBEL EARLY?

There’s a phrase called "riding a tiger and unable to dismount!"

This perfectly describes Constantine and Alfonso!

These two really did not intend to start a war immediately, because this is truly not the time.

Constantine’s forces are at a disadvantage, but he pins his hopes on his daughter marrying well, so he doesn’t want to fight.

Alfonso has yet to eliminate the Wild Horse Tribe, nor has he fully digested the fruits of victory from them, so he also doesn’t want to fight.

But now both are backed into a wall, unable to fight or retreat.

Initially, Alfonso planned to secretly lead three thousand men to seize Gold Coin and annihilate Constantine, after all, the latter only has eight hundred cavalry.

To ensure secrecy, Alfonso even took a detour and traveled by night.

But to his surprise, despite these precautions, his movements were discovered. Alfonso has no idea how the opposing side learned of his army’s whereabouts.

Upon hearing about Alfonso’s three thousand soldiers coming for a surprise attack, Constantine was terrified and immediately sent a message to the Chimera Tribe, dispatching three thousand troops for support.

Alfonso’s military advantage turned into a disadvantage, and this was no longer a robbery but a death mission.

Thus, Alfonso added two thousand more troops.

Then, Constantine also followed suit by adding two thousand more.

Since both were keeping an eye on each other’s tribe, the troop additions were no longer secret.

Back and forth, in the end, both sides sent out an army of ten thousand.

...

Time passes day by day.

The camp of the Chimera Tribe’s Foreign Tribe Army was especially oppressive and anxious.

Suo Mo hadn’t told anyone about the rebellion plans to establish independence, just tirelessly trained troops, using all means to buy weapons for the Foreign Tribe Army.

Lanling and Suo Mo agreed to rebel in fifteen days.

Now, there were only five days left until this deadline.

At this moment, the entire Chimera Tribe only had over three thousand reserve troops, at its weakest.

Ten thousand of the main forces have been deployed to confront the Ankara Tribe Army outside the Ghost Realm World.

Once the deadline arrives, Suo Mo will immediately lead the army to rebel.

Now, there were only five days left until the agreed time with Lanling.

Suo Mo and Dina were filled with restless unease yet excitement.

Now it could almost be said that everything was ready except for one final spark.

Of course, for secrecy, Suo Mo told no one about the rebellion plans, except Dina.

But Suo Mo could guarantee that once he raised his arms in call, no matter the threat, all Foreign Tribe Army brothers would follow him.

One might say that Suo Mo sculpted the soul of the entire Foreign Tribe Army.

Although the individual combat power of the Foreign Tribe Army isn’t strong, there are no cowards or death-fearers in the army.

Moreover, having long endured the Chimera Tribe’s oppression and trampling, the Foreign Tribe Army brothers were filled with deep-seated hatred for the Chimera Tribe, which would ignite into a raging inferno at the slightest spark.

As long as Suo Mo is there, no matter where they need to attack, a thousand Foreign Tribe Army soldiers would swear to follow.

...

The twelfth day!

There were only three days left until Constantine’s deadline for Lanling.

But now, Constantine had only slightly more than thirty thousand Gold Coin because Lanling hadn’t appeared since the eighth day. However, he did give a reason, saying he found the last Gold Coin pool, which contained lots of Gold Coin, and he didn’t plan on transporting them back and forth, opting for a one-time shipment.

Constantine was furious, but powerless, as Lanling is in the Ghost Realm World, beyond his reach.

Meanwhile, the entire surroundings of the Ghost Realm World have turned into a huge military camp.

Constantine’s ten thousand troops are stationed here, cutting down trees to build a massive encampment.

And Alfonso’s ten thousand troops are merely thirty miles away.

Over these days, Constantine went from delighted to anxious, then turned to alarmed and terrified.

Facing a standoff between the two armies, he truly cannot retreat nor engage.

Nini’an accompanies him playing Beastmaster Chess each day, but this cannot calm his anxious heart.

"Father, don’t worry, we don’t want to fight, Alfonso even less," Nini’an said. "In this standoff, the end result will still be negotiations; Alfonso’s aim is money, as the saying goes, everyone has a share."

Constantine said, "But I really don’t want to give him any."

Aware of Alfonso’s intentions, Constantine certainly understands, yet when faced with handing over money, his heart feels like it’s bleeding.

"I wonder how things are at home?" Nini’an said. "Brother is guarding the tribe with three thousand soldiers, should be fine right?"

Constantine said, "What could possibly happen? Besides, your mother is there."

At that moment, Du yan’s voice sounded outside, "I have an extremely important matter to report to the Chieftain."

Constantine was having a private conversation with Nini’an at that moment. Hearing Du yan’s voice, he frowned slightly, then tried his best to speak amiably, "Come in."

After entering, Du yan first glanced lovingly at Nini’an, then respectfully saluted Constantine.

"A toad wants to eat swan meat," Constantine coldly mocked in his heart, but his face remained kind and pleasant, "Du yan, what urgent matter do you have to tell me?"

Du yan said, "Master, all our ten thousand main forces are stationed here, with only three thousand or so reserve troops in the tribe, defenses are thin, it’s very dangerous."
