“An ally other than Picturesque Orchid Lake?”

The sharp Ancient Dream Saintess grasped the main point of Meng Chao’s words. “Who is that?”

“Me,” Meng Chao calmly.

“Us.”

“You?”

The Ancient Dream Saintess stared straight at Meng Chao. “You… Who exactly are you, where are you from, and what is your purpose?”

“There’s nothing to hide about my identity, origin, and purpose. As long as the Great Horn Army can survive this calamity, I’m willing to tell you everything in front of the ancient Dream Saintess.”

Meng Chao said frankly, “But I don’t need to tell a group of trapped beasts, fish swimming in the bottom of a cauldron, or bones in a tomb my secrets. Otherwise, after all of you are annihilated, these secrets will fall into the ears of a third party with ulterior motives.

“You only need to know that, first, it’s impossible for me to be a member of the Golden Clan. Otherwise, I only need to remind the lion and tiger clans to replace the troops surrounding the great horn army, send more experts to guard ‘Jackal’kanus, and burn all the provisions in hundred blade city in advance. The Great Horn Army will die.

“Second, it’s also impossible for me to come from the land of Holy Light. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have proposed a temporary truce between the Great Horn Army and the five great clans. After all, the great horn rebellion is getting more and more intense. The more serious TU Lanze’s mutual slaughter is, the more advantageous it will be for the land of Holy Light.

“Thirdly, although I can’t reveal my full identity for the time being, the archaic symbols that I transmitted to you through the dream realm are authentic. I believe that you’ve also sensed an unparalleled power from these archaic symbols, right?

“These archaic symbols are both my sincerity and my evidence. They prove that we, who have possessed and studied these archaic symbols for many years, are absolutely powerful enough to help the great horn army and all the rat people at the right time.”

These words caused holy maiden ancient dream to hesitate once again.

“I know that this is a very difficult decision. Once you follow my suggestion, you will be under great pressure.”

Meng Chao struck while the iron was hot, “Compared to commanding the entire great horn army and charging towards the strongest fortress of the golden clan, they were completely wiped out in an epic battle. Although they weren’t able to save all of the rat population of Tulan ze, they left behind a reputation that has been passed down for thousands of years.

“Choosing to make peace with the enemy or even surrender when the situation seems to be going well is indeed not easy for most of the rat citizens to understand.

“Once you make such a decision, it is very likely that you will go from being a high and mighty ‘Saintess’to a ‘coward’or even a ‘traitor’that everyone is shouting at.

“The believers of the Rat God who used to worship and love you so much will turn their gazes and saliva into cold blades that will stab you into thousands of holes.

“Whether or not the great horn army can preserve its vitality, your flawless image as a SAINTESS will be smeared with a heavy stain. You will be demoted from the ‘spokesperson of the Great Horn Rat God walking in Tulanze’to a profiteer or even a spy who will bargain with the dignity, interests, and glory of the entire rat population.

“Even the great horn army will be unstable. You will have to deal with them one by one with your brilliant skills.

“And after you solve all the troubles with all your might, you will still have to face the possibility that I am deceiving you. If you are not careful, not only will the great horn army and all the rat civilians be doomed, you will also become the biggest joke of Tu Lanze and be nailed to the pillar of shame of history forever!

“Therefore, if you reject my proposal and still choose to fly into the fire, I will not be surprised at all.

“After all, it is much easier to die than to survive.

“But I will say it one last time. As the commander of the Great Horn Legion, the leader of millions of rats, the only hope for the starving elderly, the weak, the women, and the children, the future of so many innocent people depends on your decision.

“As the commander, you shouldn’t only think about how to lead everyone and mess around happily in exchange for the so-called ‘Glorious Destruction’.

“You should think of a way to let as many people live, even if you don’t understand it for the time being. Live in humiliation until tomorrow, when hope and a turning point will arrive!”

Meng Chao had lowered his voice and earnestly advised.

But as he spoke, his emotions became agitated.

When he said the last few words, he almost condensed the blood spurting out from the depths of his throat into a boiling bullet that pierced through the ancient Dream Saintess’heart.

The ancient Dream Saintess remained silent.

However, the spikes that covered her armor were like melting icicles that were slowly shrinking and shrinking.

This meant that the hostility and distrust in her subconscious was slowly fading.

She was pondering over Meng Chao’s suggestion.

“But, how could the Blood Hoof clan accept the surrender of the Great Horn Army?”

After a long time, the ancient Dream Saintess slowly asked, “You should know that on the rise of the Great Horn Army, the Blood Hoof Clan suffered the most from us. Whether it was the series of explosions in black-corner city or the supreme treasures of the Blood Hoof clan that had been enshrined in the temples for thousands of years, they were all plundered by us.

“Even if the torrential water of the Tulan River was poured out, it would still not be able to extinguish the blood hoof clan’s hatred for the Great Horn Army. How could they sit down calmly and negotiate with the emissaries sent by the Great Horn Army

“For the negotiation, as long as the leaders of the Blood Hoof clan still have a shred of rationality left in their heads, they will sit down and negotiate with you, gnashing their teeth, no matter how much they hate the Great Horn Army.”

Meng Chao said confidently, “Indeed. The Great Horn Army has caused great harm to the Blood Hoof clan. What happened in black-horn city will probably not be forgotten until a thousand years later.

“But this is exactly why I suggested that the great horn army make the Blood Hoof clan the first negotiation target and consider the conditional surrender to the Blood Hoof clan first.”

“What do you mean?”

The ancient Dream Saintess frowned deeply.

“First of all, the Tulan civilization upholds valor. Only by showing enough strength on the battlefield can one have the right to engage in verbal warfare at the negotiation table.”

Meng Chao smiled and said, “And I believe that the actions of the Great Horn Army in Black Horn City have left a deep impression on the Blood Hoof clan.

“The Blood Hoof Warriors may hate you, hate you, and want to skin you alive, but they don’t dare to belittle you anymore. Because by belittling you, they are belittling themselves, right?”

The ancient Dream Saintess pondered for a long time, and she had to admit that Meng Chao was right.

“Secondly, it’s precisely because the great horn army turned black horn city upside down and caused great damage to the Blood Hoof clan’s vitality. According to the normal development of the situation, they basically withdrew from the competition for the highest position of power in Tulanze in advance, and that’s why they’re more likely than anyone else to take over the olive branch extended by the Great Horn Army.”

Meng Chao continued, “In the history of the past 3,000 years of war in Tulanze, the Blood Hoof clan had a total of more than 2,000 years, and they were inferior to the gold clan and firmly established their position as the second in a thousand years.

“But it just so happens that this battle of honor will be unprecedentedly long and important.

“If the blood hoof clan has to obey the orders of the Gold clan in the next 30 to 50 years of the Battle of Honor, then it’s likely that they’ll never be able to shake off their position of being inferior to others.

“The problem is that the Blood Hoof clan that was the first to experience the shocking combat strength of the rat folk warriors in the great horn riot had practically lost the ability to challenge the Gold clan on the direct battlefield after the great explosion of Black Horn City.

“If you’re the leader of the Blood Hoof clan, what choice should you make in order to shake off the title of being the second in a thousand years?”

Holy Maiden Gu Meng thought quickly and fell into deep thought.

“Of course, I can’t guarantee the choice of the Blood Hoof clan, but I know that when a large number of rat subjects fled the Blood Hoof clan’s territory and ran to the territory of the Gold clan to join the Great Horn Army, the elite battle group that was armed to the teeth of the Blood Hoof clan did not stop them sincerely. Instead, they allowed and even consciously drove a large number of rat subjects into the territory of the Gold clan.”

Meng Chao said, “It’s truly strange. Logically speaking, many of these fleeing mouse citizens have personally experienced the great explosion of black horn city, and perhaps after the explosion, the Black Horn City that was in chaos had even personally tarnished the honor of the Blood Hoofs Warriors and stolen the treasures of the Blood Hoofs clan. Why didn’t the Blood Hoofs Warriors think of intercepting and killing all of them to wash away their shame, and instead send them out of the country as gifts?

“The reason is very simple. The Blood Hoof clan is playing the trick of luring the trouble east.

“In order for the Great Horn Army to weaken the gold clan like how they weakened the Blood Hoof clan, even if they’ve just suffered a great humiliation in black horn city, they can still act vaguely like they’ve suddenly lost their memories.

“Looks like when faced with the interests of reality, the so-called dignity of a warrior or even the glory of the ancestral spirit are things that can be traded. They seem to be untradeable or even sacred and inviolable because the price isn’t high enough.”

These words once again caused the ancient Dream Saintess to reveal a bewildered expression.

Although she was only a lowly rat, she, who had grown up in Tulan ze since young, had long been accustomed to the saying that dignity and glory were supreme.

Every Word of Meng Chao was like a dagger as thin as a cicada’s wing, precisely stripping off the dignified outer clothing and revealing the coldest and ugliest truth. It caused her to be at a loss for a moment, and she didn’t know how to face it.., what was hidden behind ‘glory’.

“However, we have made the Blood Hoof clan suffer a great loss in black-horn city after all. If we accept the surrender of the Great Horn Army, how will the Blood Hoof clan retain their face?”The ancient Dream Saintess asked hesitantly.

“You are wrong. If we don’t accept the surrender of the Great Horn Army and allow the great horn army to be destroyed by the golden clan, the Blood Hoof clan will lose their face.”

Meng Chao said, “Think about it. An enemy killed your family, destroyed your home, and trampled you into the dust. Everyone knows this.

“One day, just as you were sharpening your saber, he was killed by someone else. You Don’t even know who to seek revenge from.

“Don’t tell me that just because your enemy is dead, even if you get your revenge, your face will be very glorious
