547: Chapter 450: The Dwarves’ Overt Plot_3 547: Chapter 450: The Dwarves’ Overt Plot_3 Her previous ability to firmly suppress her relied on the military power in her hands, as well as the innate fear and repulsion the Velen followers felt toward female Dwarves Elves.
Even if the other party was a Masked Renegade, now serving the sa Velen was not acceptable.
After all, the other had once been a Priestess of Rose.
Who knew if her betrayal was genuine?
Or another conspiracy spun by the Spider Queen from afar?
But once she allowed the formation of a large-scale direct army for her adversary, even if it was advantageous in the short term, loss of control was inevitable over ti.
The dusa Lord stepped back and suggested, “All female prisoners from this war are mine.
When the ti cos, not only will the Silent Tribe act entirely according to the City Lord’s wishes, but I will also lead all the dusa people into battle.”
This ti, Shadow Walker Night Shadow agreed readily, “It’s a deal.”
To get the other party to contribute, it was impossible not to offer any sweeteners.
“Then here’s to a fruitful collaboration,” the dusa Lord said with an even sweeter smile on her flawless face, her serpentine hair hissing, expressing her inner delight.
The earlier grand requests were just a series of setups; this plan was what she truly wanted to implent.
For she knew very well the character of this Dwarves Elf: ambitious yet cautious and timid.
His wariness of her was even greater than that of the Blade of Venom.
For the latter required his loyalty as well as Delnox City’s, while she might seize his rule over Delnox City.
Compared to swallowing whole, nibbling away was the true approach to power.
Moreover, the web she had woven was far wider than what Shadow Walker Night Shadow could imagine.
Not only the new Ruler of snoel was caught in this net, but Bunir was too, leaving it an unknown who would be devoured.
…
Sodalite Treants.
They were a kind of Treant, considered their cousins, yet there was a significant difference between the two.
Compared to Treants, Sodalite Treants were more human-like.
For they were not transford from ordinary trees but were born as Sodalite Treants.
Their stature was more human than Treant.
Standing around two ters tall, their bodies were completely covered in tree bark, and from afar, they resembled sculpted human wooden statues with a robust physique.
The specific origin of this type of Treant was unknown.
They were not more common than regular Treants and usually lived in the deepest parts of the forest.
They often lived alone or in small groups, rarely forming large tribes, unless they sensed Dark Power spreading in the forest, threatening nature, then the Sodalite Treants would rapidly propagate, form tribes, and even armies.
Because they were plants, not creatures.
They had no gender and propagated through seeds.
Given a few years, they could expand from a small tribe of just over a dozen to a mid-sized tribe of a hundred, and after several more years, they could grow into a large tribe numbering in thousands.
The Silent Tribe of Sodalite Treants in Mir Forest had been established for rely a few decades.
Naturally, it was for the protection of the peace of Mir Forest, to curb the expansion of Elves, especially that of Delnox City.
The clashes between the two sides in the Mir Forest were nurous, with both sides bearing heavy losses.
The Silent Tribe endeavored to propagate, sowing no fewer than a thousand seeds each year, yet their numbers barely exceeded a hundred, and even their Leader did not know how many generations had passed, not to ntion the ordinary Sodalite Treants.
Before this year, the conflict between the Silent Tribe and the Elves saw both sides exchanging victories and defeats.
But since the Elves claid victory in the Shadow War, Delnox City could focus all efforts on expanding into Mir Forest, suddenly doubling their pressure.
They had to find another way to resist.
The reboot of snoel gave them hope.
Blue Crown was one of the current Leaders of the Silent Tribe, his na derived from the blue crown-like vine on top of his head.
This was not the result of dyeing but inherently so.
More accurately, it turned blue as a result of unique thods employed by the Sodalite Treants after he took the position of the Leader of the Silent Tribe.
This was a tribute to the original Blue Crown Chieftain, the founder of their tribe, and it was a na denoting their legacy, a reminder of the original reason for forming the Silent Tribe—to drive out the evil Elves.
Blue Crown’s eyes held an undisguisable eagerness as he asked the two Sodalite Treants who had been sent to snoel, “How did it go?
Did you get into snoel?
Did the Rebooter accept our intentions?
What is the current situation in snoel?”
He spoke in the Wooden Tongue, his tone slow and deep, his speech much slower than the common tongue.
Despite the urgency and the series of questions, it ca out rather calmly, exuding a mature and steady air.
Zuo Lanbi responded at the sa pace, “We t the Rebooter of snoel as we wished, his attitude towards natural races was as friendly as the legends say.
He instantly agreed to our request upon hearing our purpose.
The situation in snoel indeed matches our expectations, with a very sparse population, in need of vital forces like us to join.”
Blue Left Arm was the na of this Sodalite Treant, also marking his most distinctive feature, with his entire arm colored blue.
The appearance of Sodalite Treants carried a striking consistency.
Not just to outsiders, but even among themselves, distinguishing identity wasn’t an easy task—many were grown from seeds of the sa Sodalite Treant, making them true brothers.
They would change a part of their body to a different color to signify identity, which then would also beco their na.
Like Blue Crown, changing an entire arm or leg to one color bore an additional layer of aning.
The other Sodalite Treant who went to snoel with him had a sky blue right arm and was known as Blue Right Arm; together, they ford the left and right arms of Blue Crown, his most relied upon subordinates.
