The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 319: 30% of the Island

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The war was full of contingency, but both warring parties had a difference of combat power that was more than double, adding on the fact that the stronger party made a successful sneak attack on the unguarded weaker party, causing them to be unable to even form any formation, victory became a matter of course.

Hovering on top of the clouds, Zhang Lisheng commanded clouds from the ocean hundreds of meters away using his omniscient power and struck with his entire force, killing the Mandaro’s guardian spiritual monster, who had been subdued by the Tudenan warrior formations, commanded by the Super Hellfireman, who had been successfully transplanted with the Gold Core fragment. At the same time, he felt the wizard power boiling in his body. When the deaths and casualties of the Mandaro tribe had reached more than 20,000, when he felt that the timing was ripe enough, Zhang Lisheng replaced his wyrmdragon’s incarnation with the Money Toad’s power and leapt down from the air.

After that, he made every effort to charge with a roar, successfully pushing the large totem pole on the ground to rise high in the air for a few inches before crashing down with a bang.

Upon seeing their tribal totem pole rolling over the mud, the Mandaro headman glanced at the numerous giant insects moving in the night and chuckled miserably. Then, he pulled a knife from his waist and cut his own neck.

Soon after, the tribal book of history in front of his chest that was soaked in blood was presented to the tribal Raider by a Tudenan chief warrior.

Flipping through the thick bark book in his hands, this was Zhang Lisheng’s first time in personally leading his believers to destroy an indigenous tribe with more than 100,000 people. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he pondered for a moment, and ordered, “Tell Turaru to come see me, if he’s still alive!”

“Yes, Great Raider!” Upon hearing his order, a dispatched warrior naturally commanded the giant millispider to go through the battlefield and look for a blood-stained ferocious-looking Turaru, who was ordering his men to cut up the prisoners, before bringing him to see the Raider.

The war was over. The warrior, who had two feathers on his head, jumped off the back of his partner and kneeled in front of Zhang Lisheng, who had already returned to his normal form, before saying respectfully, “Turaru is here on your order, Great Raider!”

Looking at the young native, who buried his head in the mud at his feet, Zhang Lisheng replied, “Turaru, Mandaro has perished but its dwelling cannot be discarded. I plan to add on another feather to your head and let you replace Anturu, who died in battle, as the leader of 1000, no wait, I’ll give you the authority to command 3000 elite warriors. Then, you’ll stay in the Mandaro dwelling and contain Samru, Pelungia and Eruya. When they launch an attack at Tudenan, you’ll attack them either from the flanks or behind. Don’t worry, I’ll transfer enough wooden boats for you to control. Don’t butt heads with them! In fact, you must know that hard teeth will easily be broken being smashed by bones, but not the tongue, understood?”

The right to control 3000 elite warriors had completely surpassed the scope of a three-feathered warrior. Being promoted from a centurion to such a high position, Turaru did not show any excitement at all. Instead, he merely replied respectfully, “Understood, Great Raider!”

It was apparent that his personal honor and disgrace no longer would elicit too much emotion from this fanatic believer.

The calm response of this young aborigine warrior made Zhang Lisheng feel puzzled but he did not ponder too much over it. Waving his hand, he ordered Turaru to retreat and personally led 30,000 elite warriors to carry the spoils to return to Tudenan that night.

Soon after, the news of Mandaro being conquered by Tudenan after Tudenan was attacked by Samru, Pelungia and Eruya spread throughout the Hellfire tribes on the island.

Samru, Pelungia and Eruya, who originally had laid a trap after attacking Tudenan with the plan of giving Tudenan another blow after patiently waiting for it to take revenge, only took two days to reconstitute their coalition forces and once again launched an attack on Tudenan.

Unfortunately, this time, Tudenan had already roughly digested the fruits of victory and re-armed all the fishermen into temporary warriors so its strength had completely surpassed the coalition of the three tribes. After paying a certain price, it managed to defeat their second attack.

In the days to come, Tudenan split out 200 Super Hellfiremen, who successfully received the Gold Core transplant, to lead 10,000 elite warriors that had partners and 150,000 temporary warriors to firmly guard the long line of defense between the east and west of the island.

The remaining 20,000 elite warriors and more than 130 Super Hellfiremen, on the other hand, traveled and encroached the weak tribes at the northern end of the island under the Raider’s leadership.

Over time, more than a month later, more new Super Hellfiremen, who successfully received the Gold Core fragment, began to appear in Tudenan. After another month, a batch of newly cultivated giant millispiders also gradually grew and began to be applied in the battlefield.

With the help from these two aspects, very soon, the stalemate at the northern end of the island was broken. A total of 17 indigenous tribes were swept cleanly, including those who planned to take the boat to take the risk to leave the island. In total, 210,000 Hellfire tribesmen entered the embrace of Tudenan.

After occupying the entire northern end of the Shrimp B1 Island that looked like a jujube seed, after knocking off the number of casualties in the war, the Tudenan still had more than 600,000 tribesmen, 1,027 Super Hellfiremen who had the ability to cast spells and had occupied a hunting ground of about one-third of the island.

In the face of this harsh fact, Samru, Pelungia and Eruya gradually took the initiative to stop the attack on Tudenan, putting an inexplicable full stop on this long sinister battle that looked like a close call.

At this time, the coldest winter had passed, and Shrimp B1 Island had begun to be bathed in the early spring.

In the underground, Great Raider, Zhang Lisheng who transformed into a green scaly giant using the wyrmdragon’s transformation power, set off a series of giant waves to throw countless amounts of fat fish to the shore. He resumed his normal shape and watched thousands of native women and children stabbing the fish to death with their wooden spears. Tired, he smiled and murmured, “We finally achieved victory now. There’s no need to be so busy anymore starting tomorrow.”

In these several dozen days, a majority of the Tudenan fishermen had been re-armed into warriors, so naturally, the job of providing enough food for the tribe had fallen onto the young man.

Therefore, in addition to the battle at the northern end of the island, he had to fly back to the tribal dwelling everyday to enter the underground river to catch enough fish with his omniscient power in order to fill the gap of food shortage.

Now that the war was over, the warriors and civilians could be separated again and the young man could finally get rid of the hard job of fishing.

Upon hearing the Raider’s muttering, Tugra, who did not want to let the opportunity of ass-kissing slip by, remarked by his side, “Great Raider, if it wasn’t for you who can fight, who can...”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Lisheng had already interupted him. “Tugra, the victory this time doesn’t depend solely on my ability. If the entire tribe hadn’t come to work together, the name ‘Tudenan’ might have perished in the history of the Hellfire people by now! In fact, I’m glad that those smart people from the Kamando did not come attack us personally. To think that they actually stayed by the side idly watching us growing bigger.”

“The Kamando doesn’t have as many wooden boats as us, Great Raider! If they want to attack Tudenan directly, they must cross the hunting grounds of the big tribes in the middle of the island. They have blood enmities with each other for every generation so they can barely maintain their peace too. The Kamando people will not take such a huge risk just for the sake of subduing us.”

“You’re right! however, if we were to take revenge on the three tribes of Samru, Pelungia and Eruya, the Kamando may throw their enmity away and personally come to stop Tudenan’s expansion.”

“I’m afraid so, Great Raider!” Tugra was stunned for a moment before replying with a wry smile.

“Now the situation on the island has re-established a balance. We are a force, Kamando is a force, while the other Hellfire tribes joined together to become the third force.” Zhang Lisheng pondered for a while before striding into the tunnel heading to the ground above. Without turning his head, he added, “Now, if any force dares to move rashly, it’ll be struck by the other two forces together. For this reason, we’ll have to stay quiet for now and digest the fruits of victory completely. First, we have to compile the army. After the re-separation of the warriors and civilians, select some of the strong women in the tribe to become fishermen and expand the number of warriors to 100,000. Not only that, we’ll set up a position of four-feathered chief warriors above the three-feathered chief warriors and allow them to lead 10,000 tribal warriors...”

“Great Raider, leading 10,000 partnered elite warriors is not a feat that can be carried out by an ordinary warrior. I think the four-feathered chief warriors should be chosen from the Tudenan warriors who have accepted your blessing ritual and have the ability to cast spells... No, wait, it should start from two-feathered chief warriors! The two-feathered chief warriors should have the ability to cast spells and only then would the tribe can possess a greater force!” Tugra who was following closely behind the Raider suddenly proposed.

Tugra’s proposal was very much in line with Zhang Lisheng’s thought but as the living god that several hundreds of thousands believed in, he understood the importance of the word ‘fairness’ more now. For this reason, he frowned and said, “Tugra, even though your words are very reasonable, we can’t just dismiss the chief tribal warrior for no reason after the great war.”

“Great Raider, you have not noticed that the cruel war has let nature take its course and has removed the majority of the Tudenan warriors who have no spell-casting power for you. Now, the only surviving chief warrior who commanded more than 100 warriors is Chief Tumu alone.”

Without the guardianship of the spiritual monster, the ordinary warrior squadrons mixed in the Super Hellfiremen would easily die from the enemy’s vital attack. Zhang Lisheng suddenly figured this out so as he walked out of the tunnel with a hand over his eyes to look at the bright and beautiful sunshine, he pondered for a while before saying, “In that case, let Tumu be promoted to the four-feathered chief warrior and at the same time, give out orders that from now on, every chief warrior who want to have two feathers on their heads must possess the ability of spell-casting.”
