Chapter 313: The Troubles of the Beast Spirit High Priest

The battle between the Northland Beast Spirit Clan and the Radiant Empire in the Eastern Continent has entered a period of stable stalemate in the true sense of the word since the Golden Beamon Airo led his troops to capture Iron Sword City and then disappeared inexplicably.

On the western front, because Iron Sword City, the transportation center of the Central Plains of the Eastern Continent and the Northwest Region and even the coastline, was taken by the Beast Spirit Clan, from the overall situation, the Radiant Empire can be said to have lost everything, not only lost all the land on the northwest side of the Eastern Continent, but even gave up the initiative of the offensive and defensive conversion because of the loss of Iron Sword City.

It was precisely because of the loss of Iron Sword City, which was the gateway of the Northwest Region to the Central Plains, that even after confirming that Airo had disappeared, the Radiant Empire did not dare to launch a reactionary all-out counterattack against the Northwest Region that had fallen into the hands of the Beast Spirit Clan, but had to accumulate heavy troops on the west side of the Central Plain to prevent the Beast Spirit Clan from continuing to move south on a whim...... The Great Plains in the middle of the Eastern Continent is simply a battlefield tailored for the warriors of the Beast Spirit Clan who like to fight head-on, and even if the Beast Spirit Clan has the heart, it is not impossible for the Wolf Clan and the Leopard Clan, which are known for their speed, to make a detour from Iron Sword City to the Radiant King City, the capital of the Radiant Empire, in one day.

Fortunately, after losing Aelo, the Western Front troops of the Beast Spirit Clan, who were originally fierce and strategically (after all, Iroh as the commander is the owner of a godhead fragment with his own will) seemed to have lost their original soul overnight, and they lost the domineering and flexible spirit that they had previously crisscrossed the northwest battle, and became like a pool of stagnant water, just stationed in place in various cities they occupied, and no longer moved. Without Ello taking the lead, the Beast Spirit Clan lost its enterprising spirit and actual ability to attack fortifications, and on the other hand, due to the fall of Iron Sword City, the Radiant Empire did not dare to act rashly because of the passivity of the situation and the safety of the hinterland of the empire and even the capital city, and the "peace" of the war situation on the Western Front suddenly and reasonably came.

Compared with the ups and downs of the war situation on the Western Front, the battlefield on the Eastern Front was tepid from the beginning of this war. It is not that the fighting is not fierce, in fact, if we talk about the real casualties and frequency of fighting on both sides, the battle situation on the Eastern Front, where the positions of the two forces are intertwined, is far more intense than on the Western Front, but as a result, the situation on the Eastern Front has maintained a stalemate almost from the very beginning of the war.

Because the Beast Spirit Clan lacks a super strong person like Iroh who is born specifically for the battlefield and can lead the team to make a final decision, no matter how much he calculates, he has never been able to really cross the war buffer zone between the Beast Spirit Clan and the Empire, and on the Imperial side, because of Iro, about 80% of the players who came north to participate in the battle came here from the Western Front, where there was no hope of victory, and these players assisted the Imperial Army in building the Eastern Front impregnable. Even as time went on, the Eastern Front Beast Spirit Army began to tire out, and the Imperial Eastern Front Army and players began to gradually gain the upper hand in the confrontation.

-----

"Alas......"

On a hill in the southeast of the Northern Wasteland near the Eastern Battlefield, more than a dozen leather tents with the characteristics of the Beast Spirit Clan stood here, and at this moment, from the largest tent in the center of it, an old sigh came out.

The master of the sigh, the beast spirit high priest who single-handedly planned this great battle of the beast spirit clan to attack the Radiant Empire, put down the front-line battle report in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his temple.

Although Iroh is nominally the commander of the battle on the Western Front, and he, the High Priest, is in charge of the war on the Eastern Front, in fact, as the de facto ruler of the Beast Spirit Clan today, the logistics of the battle situation on the Eastern and Western Fronts, and even some government affairs in the Northland Wasteland where the Beast Spirit Clan lived during the war, all need to be taken care of by the Beast Spirit High Priest. Not to mention that the high priest, as a strong man in the legal system, could not be as dominant on the battlefield as the warrior-type Iroh, and the responsibilities of the high priest himself were also destined to make it impossible for him to personally sit on the front line of the eastern front and lead the team to fight and attack.

But even so, the high priest will not use his duties as a reason for the disadvantage of the battle, people are always good at and not good at, through this war experience, the high priest is already very clear in his heart, compared to Iro, he is definitely not a good war commander, maybe in the ability of racial coordination and internal management of the power within the beast spirit clan he is called the second no one dares to call the first, but when it comes to the talent of war, the eastern front is now compared to the western front The result of inaction has been proven, He was not really a military commander with the strength of a famous general.

But having said that, as the actual helmsman of the Beast Spirit Clan for a long time, and as the owner of the Godhead Shard, although he has no military talent, at least in terms of pure intelligence, the High Priest is still stronger than the ordinary Beast Spirit Clan warriors, and because of this, the High Priest can still vaguely taste the recent changes in the battle situation on the battlefield.

After the golden beamon disappeared from the battlefield, although the battle between the east and the west remained stable for a short period of time, in fact, the momentum of the two sides had slowly begun to change. The Imperial Army on the western side of the battle situation is jealous because of the existence of the Beast Spirit Clan army in Iron Sword City, but the Imperial Army and the Imperial Adventurers on the east side do not have so many scruples, judging from the reports on the front line, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Adventurers on the east side already have the residual strength and ideas to counterattack the Northland Wasteland where the Beast Spirit Clan lives, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that they hadn't confirmed whether Ai Luo, who suddenly disappeared from the Western Front, had secretly come to the Eastern Front battlefield, I'm afraid that the current situation on the Eastern Front has long since changed from offensive to defensive to the situation of the empire's attack and the defense of the beast spirit clan.

Thinking of this, the High Priest couldn't help but frown and sighed again.

Iroh ...... Iroh ...... This stunned young ......

Godhead fragments can allow the owner to retain their own will, including the owner's memories, but that is only after owning the Godhead fragments, and it is not clear what happened before becoming the owner of the Godhead fragments, so Iroh himself does not know, in fact, he can become the owner of the Godhead fragments, or he can trigger the plot of infiltrating the territory of the empire without contacting the player, and the plot where the Terran bandits capture and fall off the cliff is actually the high priest of the Beast Spirit Clan who is secretly pushing it.

As the person who kept the fragment of Godhead in the gamification of the plane of the continent of Emissia, the High Priest of the Beast Spirit discovered the other's extraordinaryness after seeing Ello, who was originally an ordinary NPC, by chance. As a transcendent-level powerhouse, the strength of the High Priest of the Beast Spirit Clan has given him some exposure to the power of the laws of the essence of this world, and it is precisely because of this that the High Priest can see that the fate line of the law on Ello's body is different from other NPCs, and there is a part that even the owner of the Godhead Fragment cannot detect and predict, out of curiosity, the High Priest will take action to promote the progress of the plot on Aelo's body, and the result is naturally surprising to him, but he did not expect that it was just a whim to bring back another owner of the Godhead Fragment for the Beast Spirit Clan.

It's just that soon, this kind of surprise turned into a deeper helplessness and annoyance, how could the high priest not expect that after obtaining the Golden Dragon Knight Inheritance and the Divine Head Fragment, this Golden Beamon, who was actually the first person in strength in the Northland Beast Spirit Clan, except for the Empty Beast King Immortal Phoenix in a semi-secluded state, would actually be an upright idealist.

The world of the Emissia continent is now experiencing great changes, how to solve the threat of chaos to the world, how to deal with the strange and terrifying alien laws and those mysterious alien adventurers, and most importantly, how the beast spirit clan who has suffered a loss in the creation war should deal with themselves in the upcoming continental turmoil, these should be the responsibilities of the two owners of the beast spirit clan's godhead fragments who have both strength and power who can now dominate the fate of the beast spirit race.

But after becoming the golden Beamon, Iroh has always held his ideals of "restoring glory for the Beamon clan" and "defeating the fallen ancestor Bavom on the battlefield", even this war against the empire, he has made it clear that it is not for simple ambition, but to increase the strength and war chips for the beast spirit clan in the chaos war of order that is likely to determine the fate of the continent in the future, but he still has not been able to convince this guy to contribute wholeheartedly to this battle, Instead, he had to rely on an agreement to "exchange the northwest territory of the empire for going to the desperate desert to challenge the free movement of the fallen god of war Beamon" to get Iroh to contribute to the Beast Spirit Clan.

If you really value the glory of the Beamon clan more than anything else, then wouldn't it be better to go straight to the Desperate Desert? With Eloh's level 120 strength, no one, including the High Priest, could force him to make a pact of exchanging his exploits for freedom. Perhaps in the eyes of Eloh himself or other outsiders, he was a responsible approach that not only helped the Beast Spirit Clan but also took care of the overall situation of the Order Camp, but in the eyes of the High Priest, he clearly had the consciousness of being the Beast Spirit Clan in his heart, but he was full of only the glory of his own Beamon Clan and his own reputation, so he had to put on such a face, "I have nothing to do with the Beast Spirit Clan and the glory of being a hero of the Order, I don't want to live up to it", which really made the High Priest feel disdainful.

So the ass decides the head, and even if they sit in the same position, different people see different scenery, the high priest who has been planning for decades for the continuation and development of the beast spirit clan long before the start of gamification in the mainland, and Iro, who is full of the legendary deeds of his ancestors and passionate salvation ideals in his upright young heart, may be able to achieve mutual respect and cooperation on the surface, but their way of thinking may never truly reach mutual understanding.

In fact, when Iroh led the team to capture the northwest territory of the empire and even occupied Iron Sword City in the western war, the high priest's opinion of Iroh had changed greatly, but the so-called greater hope and greater disappointment, it was precisely because of Iro's bravery that the high priest saw the hope of the rise of a new invincible beast spirit god of war.

However, at this point, the High Priest knew that it was useless for him to hate Elo no matter how much he hated him, the Beast Spirit Army in the east was obviously powerless, and the reason why the Imperial Army and the adventurers had not yet fought back was precisely because they did not know the truth about Elo's disappearance from the Western Front.

If they know that not only does the golden Beamon Elo not know where to run now, but even the undead phoenix, which has always lived in semi-seclusion in the hinterland of the Northland Wasteland, left the wasteland with most of the elites of the Sky Beast Clan who did not enter the battlefield this time because he received a mysterious letter for help from the desperate desert a few days ago, then the imperial army and the adventurers will definitely launch a full-scale counteroffensive on the Eastern Front without saying a word, even if it is not a pessimistic estimate, The High Priest was also unsure if the Eastern Front Beast Spirit Army would succeed in keeping these guys out of the heart of the Northland Wasteland.

…… It seems that it is time to consider suggesting that the Cult of the Goddess of Creation and the so-called defenders of order on the Elven side will mediate.

The High Priest did not feel relaxed when he made such a decision, but still felt like there was a turbid breath in his heart, so he simply stood up, walked out of the tent and went outside, looking at the night sky above his head to relax quietly.

But the moment he stepped out of the tent, a feeling of extreme danger suddenly came out of his heart.

There are assassins!
