Chapter 1238: The Only Winner

Platinum Embrace and Ice Storm both gasped when they heard that.
Even now, they were still in a daze. They felt a great sense of disbelief. It was hard to believe that the small corpse-eating dog could toy with the strongest experts in the Lion and Tiger Clans at the same time.
However, the truth was right in front of them, and they could not help but believe it.
“Even if ‘Jackal’ Ka.n.u.s didn’t have any relationship with the Tiger Clan’s master, Violent Blade, in the past, it’s not too difficult to gain the latter’s trust.”
Meng Chao continued speaking with confidence, “First, he can hide a few relic items from the depths of the sacred mountain, such as the device that can lock on to life that is embedded in the heart of the platinum embrace. I believe that with the means of ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s, it won’t be difficult for him to hide from the lion warriors who are watching him and send similar items to violent blade.
“Secondly, he can tell the violent blade that the horn of destruction has secretly left Crimson Gold City. With the power of the Tiger Clan’s master in Crimson Gold City, there are naturally countless ways to verify this information.
“Other than the immeasurable temptation of the temple of the sacred mountain, what else is worth the horn of destruction giving up everything and taking the risk to leave?
“As for why I betrayed the Lion clan and joined the Tiger Clan, I believe that ca.n.u.s the jackal has long thought of a perfect explanation.
“I risked my life and sacrificed the lives of countless brave warriors of the Wolf clan. It was not easy for me to find the general location of the temple of the sacred mountain for the Lion King. However, before the most critical exploration, the Lion King kicked me aside and prepared to take the inheritance of the temple of the Sacred Mountain for himself. It was really intolerable. Such a reason was enough to make anyone betray anyone. The violent blade would not suspect anything at all.
“Even if he suspects something, Berserker Blade has no other choice. He simply can not bear the risk of waiting for Lion King to receive the inheritance of the sacred mountain and return in splendor. He will be crowned as the eternal king of Tulan, and the Lion clan will forever be superior to the Tiger clan.
“As expected, such a thing has really happened. Berserker Blade is simply going to become the sinner of the entire Tiger clan for all eternity. He will forever be imprinted in the epic of the Tiger clan in the image of an incompetent person, and he will be cursed and ridiculed by others.
“Attacking first is the only option for the Berserker Blade and the Tiger clan.
“It just so happens that the horn of destruction is not in Crimson Gold City, which gives the Tiger clan a golden opportunity. As long as they are caught off guard, they will most likely be able to control the entire crimson gold city.
“However, controlling crimson gold city is far from enough.
“Because the berserker blade will not be able to kill all the Lion Clan Warriors.
“After all, the conflict between the lion and tiger clans is not an irreconcilable blood feud. It’s just a matter of who will be the boss.
“It’s not a problem for one side to defeat the other. Even if the Lion warriors who have no leader temporarily submit to the Tiger clan, it’s not a fatal humiliation.
“However, if the blade of Fury wants to kill all the Lion Warriors, it will have to face a resistance that is ten times stronger.
“The leopard and other predators who also live in crimson gold city will not sit idly by either.
“The four great clans, including b.l.o.o.d.y feet, who are eyeing the Lion Warriors at the border, will not let go of the opportunity to watch the tiger fight and take advantage of the situation to become the final winner.
“However, if we let the Lion Warriors surrender and not kill them, once the Horn of destruction really obtains the inheritance of the sacred mountain and returns magnificently, all the struggles of the violent blade will instantly become a joke.
“At that time, not to mention that the lion tribe’s surrendered soldiers will resist again.
“Even the Tiger Tribe’s warriors may bow down and surrender when they face the Horn of destruction, who has obtained the inheritance of the sacred mountain and the power of the starry sky.
“Even if they want to resist desperately, once the horn of destruction requests the violent blade to come out and fight one-on-one in front of millions of wolves, tigers, and leopards inside and outside of Crimson Gold City and fight to the death, the latter has no reason to refuse.
“The tribal chiefs decide the tribe’s ownership and future with their own force. They won’t shed too many warriors’blood and lose the strength of the entire clan. This is one of the most important rules of the game of Thrones in Tulanze.
“Even now, the violent blade might not be a match for the Horn of destruction, let alone after the horn of destruction obtains the inheritance of the Holy Mountain.
“Therefore, there’s only one way for violent blade to sit firmly on the throne of the great chief of the Gold clan and become the eternal war chief and the Eternal King Tulan.
“That’s after he barely controls the situation in Crimson Gold City, he’ll immediately lead an elite squad to charge toward the Holy Mountain at lightning speed and kill the Horn of destruction before it excavates the Holy Mountain’s Temple!
“The winner will not be judged.
“As long as the Tiger King can kill the Lion King and obtain the inheritance of the Holy Mountain, the battle between the Tiger clan and the Lion clan will no longer be a tragedy of cannibalism, but a heroic feat that will sweep the journey.
“And right now, the Bloodhoof and the other four clans, who are eyeing the border covetously, will bow to the Tiger King from the bottom of their hearts and cheer for the birth of the ‘Eternal King Tulan’in unison!”
Meng Chao was resolute.
Every word was like a cannonball fired by a dwarf cannon, creating a scorching crater on the cerebral cortex of the ‘platinum embrace’and the ‘Ice Storm’.
He had absolute confidence.
Because this was not a guess, but a fact from his previous life.
However, in his previous life, the one who received the inheritance of the Holy Mountain and became King Tulan was ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s.
It wasn’t any of the Lion King’s Horn of destruction or the Tiger King’s Blade of Fury.
The platinum embrace and ice storm were stunned by this conjecture that overturned their worldview.
They racked their brains and tried their best to think, but they couldn’t find any flaws in Meng Chao’s conjecture.
“Ca.n.u.s, this dog that only deserves to eat rotten corpses, why on Earth would he do this…”
The platinum embrace muttered to himself. His voice grew weaker and weaker, but his eyes grew larger and larger. It was as if his last bit of life force had been transformed into shock that overflowed from his words.
“That’s right. Of course, the ‘Jackal’Ka.n.u.s did this not to help the violent blade become the eternal king of Tulan, but for himself.”
Meng Chao said, “The Tiger King and the Tiger Clan Warriors are not familiar with the terrain deep within the sacred mountain. If they want to chase after the Lion King’s exploration team, they will definitely need the help of the ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s.
“Right now, neither the blade of Fury nor the Horn of destruction know that the Great Horn Army has been defeated and absorbed by Ca.n.u.s the Jackal. The rat people and the Wolf clan did not suffer heavy losses. Instead, they have condensed into a Super Army of unprecedented size that can suppress quality with quant.i.ty. The command of this Super Army is firmly in the hands of ca.n.u.s the jackal.
“In the eyes of both the Lion King and the Tiger King, Ca.n.u.s the Jackal is just a lowly, weak lackey who can be manipulated by them.
“If the Lion King and the Tiger King insist on this and treat each other as their greatest enemy, who else but ca.n.u.s the jackal will be able to command the five great clans and ascend to the throne of the eternal king of Tulan after they both suffer heavy losses in the depths of the sacred mountain and obtain the inheritance of the Sacred Mountain and activate the power of the Starry Sky?”
“Platinum embrace”‘s eyes were almost frozen as he slowly and slowly exhaled his last breath.
He instinctively wanted to refute.
But when he thought of what had happened in the Col not long ago — the Wolf King’s personal guards beside Ka.n.u.s actually dared to attack him and the “Tooth of corrosion”at the same time. Moreover, these Wolf King’s personal guards were terrifyingly strong, it far exceeded the performance they usually displayed in front of the lion and tiger clans.
From this, it could be seen that the ambitions of ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s were like a huge fireball that hung high in the sky at noon on a summer day. There was no need to hide them.
The platinum embrace could only grit his teeth. “It’s impossible. Even if both the Horn of destruction and the blade of fury really suffered heavy losses and let ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s take advantage of the chaos, the Liger and tiger clans will never submit to a small jackal!
“For the past three thousand years, the authority of the Gold Clan has always been in the hands of the Liger clan and the Tiger clan. The honor of a n.o.ble warrior will never allow us to lower our heads to a ghoul dog that was lucky enough to obtain its inheritance
“In normal times, it may not be, but don’t forget that the armies of the four great clans such as Bloodhoof are gathering at the four borders of the Gold clan. Once they sense the weakness of the Liger clan and the Tiger clan, they may surround them from all sides and charge forward crazily. They will defeat the Gold clan, which has suffered heavy internal strife, in the Battle of the five clans and seize the highest command in the glorious era — perhaps, the highest command forever.”
Meng Chao a.n.a.lyzed with his bright eyes, “If Lion King and Tiger King really suffered heavy losses in the depths of the sacred mountain, then faced with the threats of the four great clans such as b.l.o.o.d.y hoof, the Gold clan urgently needs a new strong person to stand up and integrate the strength of wolves, tigers, and leopards to defend the interests of the entire clan.
“No matter how bad ‘Jackal’Ka.n.u.s is, he is still the Wolf King and a member of the Gold clan.
“If he can become the war chief, the Gold clan will still be the strongest clan in tulanze.
“If he can become the eternal king of Tulan, the Gold clan will always be the number one clan in Tulanze.
“The Liger n.o.bles who have figured this out can only pinch their noses and support the ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s even though they know that it is very likely that both the Lion King and the Tiger King will suffer heavy losses.
“The liger n.o.bles would think that even if the ghoul dog was a shameless, insane b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he was still ‘Our b.a.s.t.a.r.d’. It would be easier for him to obey his orders than to obey a Tauren, a boar, a lizard, or even a treant, wouldn’t it
“This…”
The ‘Platinum Embrace’could not be refuted.
Meng Chao could roughly understand every word except for the words that seemed to be uttered in the ancient Tulan language and were difficult to understand.
However, when these words were put together, they formed a three-dimensional labyrinth that was crisscrossed and filled with labyrinths.
No, it was not a labyrinth. It was simply a vast ocean made up of conspiracies and tricks.
Even the ‘Platinum Embrace’was quite smart among the Lion clan’s powerhouses. That was why the ‘Storm of Destruction’had entrusted him with the important task of guarding Crimson Gold City.
Faced with the conspiracy of Kannus the Jackal, who was connected and controlling everything behind the scenes, he still felt a great sense of strangeness.
Fear originated from the unknown.
The platinum embrace had to admit that facing Kannus the Jackal, who seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts and treat Lion King and Tiger King as p.a.w.ns.., the ability to play with his hands. This was completely different from the simple and crude brute force, but it seemed to be a hundred times more lethal than brute force. He felt a deep fear.
It was like a drowning person in the depths of the vast ocean, facing the bottomless sea, sinking into a despair that was a hundred times greater than death.
And Meng Chao was the only lighthouse in this sea of conspiracy.
