They summoned Tiger Roar, Crane Feather, Fish Roe Pomfret, and Fox One, and the group sat down at the table to discuss their strategy.
Yu Zijing frowned, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, feeling that his plan wasn't thorough enough. He turned to look at the sullen Chu Xinyao, reaching out to ruffle her hair: "Yu'er, don't worry, we're here!"
"Yes, don't be afraid. There are seven top-tier ninth-rank experts here, as well as countless eighth-rank experts. Although my rank is not high, I will definitely protect you." Fox One approached Chu Xinyao and spoke his mind.
Chu Xinyao could only manage a forced smile. She was filled with gratitude for everyone, but she still felt immense pressure.
The atmosphere inside was heavy, with the dim yellow light flickering. Countless parchment scrolls lay on the table, all wrinkled from being touched by fingers—the marks of their repeated discussions.
After a long time, the group finally came up with a relatively sound solution.
Led by Shemo, watchtowers and patrols were established along the coastline to ensure that any enemies approaching the Yao tribal alliance were detected and intercepted in advance.
As the chieftain of the Ink Serpent Clan, he had the ability and was well aware of the importance of this task. He had to carefully consider the location of each watchtower and the route planning of the patrol team.
He held a simple map and a charcoal pencil, sketching and drawing on it incessantly. Finally, a detailed defense plan took shape in his mind: to perfect the defense and leave the enemy no chance to exploit.
Fish Bubble selects loyal and powerful guards, provides them with targeted training to enhance their combat capabilities, and assigns them roles, dividing the guard team into four groups: reconnaissance, defense, assault, and logistics.
This task was equally difficult. In addition to the four tribes of White Tiger, Red Crane, Black Snake, and Mermaid, the Yao Tribe Alliance also included several other tribes of varying sizes. Their loyalty was not high, so they were not within his selection range.
But now it's the rainy season, and the cold season is just around the corner. All the tribes are urgently gathering supplies to get through the cold season, and it's really difficult to draw a large number of strong orcs from the four tribes at this time.
Crane Feather carried Chu Xinyao, who had undergone a transformation, away overnight and flew back to the most secluded Red Crane Tribe to hide. The Red Crane Tribe was built on a giant tree atop a cliff, the tree trunk straight and smooth. Apart from tribes that could fly, other races of beastmen were basically unable to reach it.
Moreover, the Red Crane tribe is deep within the Yao tribe alliance, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also adjacent to the Mermaid tribe and the Snake Ink tribe, so if it is attacked, the two tribes can react quickly and provide assistance.
As the city lord of the Holy City, Long Yuan wields immense influence. He publicly declares his protection of the Yao Tribe Alliance, stating that anyone who opposes the Holy Maiden is an enemy of the Yao Tribe Alliance and the Holy City.
His influence should be enough to intimidate some weaker tribes.
Meanwhile, the beautiful Fox One disguised herself as Chu Xinyao. Chu Xinyao would transform into Long Tingting when facing outsiders, and Long Tingting was naturally taller than Chu Xinyao, plus she had a powerful aura. With Fox One wearing a hat and adjusting the angle, it was enough to make her look incredibly realistic.
If necessary, making him appear in public would certainly attract the enemy's attention.
By staying in the Moi tribe, he made the enemy believe that Chu Xinyao was there. This, in turn, better ensured Chu Xinyao's safety.
Finally, with Chu Xinyao leaving a large number of fertility pills for Hu Yi, and with the help of Yu Zi and Jiao Ying, the experiments on the fertility pills and prescriptions were accelerated, enabling the beastman couples in the Mo Yi tribe who were seeking offspring to become pregnant in a short period of time. In this way, even if those tribes with extremely scarce offspring and great strength saw this, they wouldn't choose the easier path and insist on seeking out Chu Xinyao, the saintess, right?
Tiger Roar and Fish Fern then led all the cubs back to the White Tiger Tribe. Firstly, their route was opposite to Crane Feather's, and the simultaneous departure of the Blue Shadow Beast Carts would create confusion. Secondly, if the Moi Tribe went to war, they wouldn't be able to care for the cubs. Thirdly, they were also concerned that the enemy might capture their cubs and threaten them.
After discussing the matter, everyone set out to act overnight.
The night is as dark as ink and the cold wind is howling.
Looking at the adorable cubs in front of her, Chu Xinyao felt a deep sadness in her heart.
Snake Yi comforted his younger siblings like a little adult, and even the usually calm and composed Snake Er's eyes reddened and tears streamed down his face.
"Mommy, Mommy, Xiao Ba doesn't want you to leave, Xiao Ba wants to stay with you." Snake Xiao Ba hugged Chu Xin Yao with his chubby little hands and cried loudly.
The other smaller cubs also started crying.
Chu Xinyao handed the white tiger cubs she always kept by her side to Hu Xiao, explaining the precautions as she did so. At the same time, she stroked Snake Xiao Ba's hair, comforting her.
She doesn't want to leave either!
But now I have no choice but to leave.
She bid farewell to all the cubs one by one, planting a kiss on their foreheads before, urged by He Yu, she tearfully prepared to leave. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string.
The cubs sensed that she was leaving; some clung tightly to her legs, while others reached out their little hands to try and grab her.
The water in the fish tank in Yu Zijing's arms was churning, almost causing him to lose his grip.
Chu Xinyao's shoulders and head were covered with little red cranes, accompanied by their tender "cheep cheep cheep" sounds.
"Mommy, don't go."
"Mommy, take me with you, I can take care of myself."
"Mommy, don't go..."
Surrounded by a crowd, Chu Xinyao felt a pang of heartache. She could only squat down, stroke the cubs' hair, and whisper, "Good boy/girl, good boy/girl, Mommy wants to make a promise with you, okay? As long as you get full marks on your upcoming tests, Mommy will come back, okay?"
The cries of the cubs gradually weakened until Snake Little Eight sobbed and said, "Then, Mommy, no, no, don't make it too hard, otherwise He Jiu Jiu and Nian Yu won't be able to do it and won't get full marks."
A young flamingo with a small tuft of red feathers on its tail, named He Jiu Jiu, chirped anxiously upon hearing this. It wasn't that she couldn't do it; she was just slow at it.
"Okay, Mommy knows." Chu Xinyao gently stroked He Jiujiu's wings and comforted her, "Mommy will try to make the questions easier so that you can both get full marks, okay?"
"it is good!"
"Okay, let go of Mommy now, they have to go, and so do we." The journey is still long, and what they need most right now is time.
The cubs cried as they bid farewell to Chu Xinyao, and Chu Xinyao, with red eyes as well, boarded the Blue Shadow Beast Carriage.
After they left, Snake Ink, Fish Bubble, and Fox Yi's gazes towards Long Yuan instantly changed. If it weren't for this guy, they would never have let Chu Xinyao and the children be separated.
