I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

After putting down the wine jar, Lord Jishan looked at Shen Can.

Shen Can remained indifferent; he let him watch more if he wanted to.

"That’s why we couldn’t hold on, and Xiaoyang came south."

Shen Can poked the campfire, "Born in adversity, dying in comfort; the tribes in other parts of Yongyi are too comfortable.

They’re so comfortable that they’ve started infighting and colluding with the alien race."

Yann Wanyun kept his head down, eating fish. He truly felt powerless now; if any mishap occurred, he could easily become Xiaoyang’s puppet.

"We’ve been at a stalemate with Xiaoyang for so long, but in my view, we’ve actually been led by the nose by Xiaoyang.

Whenever Muo Xiao wants to strike, he strikes, and all we can do is deal with it.

Just like Yann Race Leader, Muo Xiao planted the Three-Headed Secret Technique on him, and Muo Xiao doesn’t even care about revealing it was him, just wanting to watch Yann Race Leader struggle like a trapped beast."

Hearing Shen Can mention him, Yann Wanyun felt the fish in his mouth lost its flavor.

Lord Jishan also looked at Yann Wanyun; he had long noticed something was amiss with him.

Unfortunately, he was powerless; he lacked the courage for a sweeping thunderous move, fearing it would cause an even worse situation. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As a former ranger, Lord Jishan’s courage was naturally different back then.

For a ranger, eating alone and going wherever he pleased was important, even if it meant dying in some dangerous ruin.

But with the heavy burden of the Jishan Bo Division’s million tribespeople and the vast responsibility of Ji Land’s countless tribes, Lord Jishan dared not have the ranger’s daring anymore.

For a while, the three said nothing, just ate fish and drank wine.

After finishing the fish and wine, they rose to stretch a bit.

"Friend Huo, how do you plan to fight?"

Lord Jishan gathered his emotions and became serious.

"Attack northward, directly targeting Xiaoyang’s lair."

Seize the initiative in the campaign; no matter how Xiaoyang attacks, the goal for the three divisions is to go north.

Previously, the Jishan Bo Division was too cautious; now they were shedding all those reservations.

"What about the tribespeople of each division..."

Lord Jishan pondered, this was tantamount to letting Xiaoyang rampage freely.

You kill my clansmen, I kill yours in return, let’s see who gets wiped out first.

"Elder Jishan, don’t the tribes under your division practice Martial Dao?"

At this point, Yann Wanyun spoke, "If they’ve practiced martial arts but can’t even protect themselves, then what’s the point of practicing?

Ji Land is vast, with tribes residing in different terrains; even if they wanted to occupy it, they would have to divide their forces.

Xiaoyang isn’t invincible; when attacking Human Race tribes, surely each tribe won’t just let them slaughter without resistance.

Moreover, our three divisions are Xiaoyang’s main focus; if they can’t even withstand Xiaoyang’s side forces, it shows how well we’ve protected them all these years."

Hearing Yann Wanyun call him elder, Lord Jishan suddenly realized.

Truly, he was old now.

Shen Can gently tugged Yann Wanyun.

"Since Elder Jishan is here today, it proves his agreement with my viewpoint."

"Procrastination only leads to further chaos, Xiaoyang won’t give us the chance."

Saying this, Shen Can raised his palm.

Clap.

A clear sound emerged, and Yann Wanyun clapped first.

With no other Human Race present nor sacrificial spirits of the Ancestral Temple, clapping was the most convenient oath.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The loud claps echoed above Yan Lake.

"It’s seven days until the beginning of next month, when the three divisions will simultaneously swear allegiance and raise the flag, striking north from three directions into Xiaoyang Race Territory."

"At the same time, the three divisions will unite under the banner of alliance, issuing proclamations to each part of Yongyi, exposing Ao Mountain’s collusion with Xiaoyang, calling for the tribes to eradicate them jointly.

Order dispatch riders to the various divisions in Ji Land, informing them of Ao Mountain’s collaboration with Xiaoyang, intending to subvert Ji Land in every Human Race tribe."

Shen Can spoke, then looked at Yann Wanyun.

"At Liuming Ancient Land, I need to start the campaign at the end of the month; I will head to Yanran Camp to assist in breaking the Mu Kang Branch.

After breaking Mu Kang Branch, I’ll head to Blood Gate Mountain City..."

"No need, Blood Gate Mountain City is within my Jishan’s capabilities."

Lord Jishan directly waved his hand, "Previously, I worried too much about gains and losses. If I fight openly, I’m not afraid of Muo Xiao; I may be old, but I’m not so old I can’t wield a blade!"

"Alright then, the three divisions will head north together, assembling at the source of Guimu River."

Once the three divisions march north, it’s like opening the blockade against Xiaoyang’s army entirely. Whether Xiaoyang continues south or returns to his territory will depend on Xiaoyang’s choice.

Of course, after a big battle, Xiaoyang Race Soldiers won’t remain unscathed, and how many we can kill depends on the actual result.

The three divisions could actually retreat to Ji Land’s edges, but with such a large army facing off for so long, a retreat might allow Xiaoyang to take advantage of us.

What’s more, retreating outright signifies defeat; if we abandon the defensive lines, we should break through from the center of Xiaoyang Camp.

You head south, we go north, each fighting their own battles; rebuilding Ji Land in the north is feasible too.

The key is making the bold move, without involving anything. Xiaoyang practices martial arts, the Human Race does too; we’re not helpless.

Being unable to fight and choosing not to fight are vastly different.

Xiaoyang cannot lead an army one million strong to invade each tribe; how many millions would it take for Ji Land’s tribes?

With tribes scattered one by one, it’s truly a matter of holding firm; the probability of successfully safeguarding the clan is actually very high.

Just like Xiaoyang occupying forces southward, it’s not like they’ve migrated tribes over, annihilating the Human Race, they don’t have such clan power!
