The territory of the Begonia Beasts is a meadow full of flowers, very similar to the ones on their backs.
This is a good way to protect them from being discovered by enemies. Once they sense danger, they will burrow into the flowers, revealing only the row of petals on their backs.
Although they are not a Victorious Race, their strength is still decent. After all, tracing back to a long time ago, they were able to challenge the Human Race. They can be considered a strong race among the myriad races.
Unfortunately, the development speed of the Human Race was too fast, so fast that it caught them off guard.
Not only did they transform into a Victorious Race, but in recent years, a genius has emerged who has attracted the world's attention!
That Town Suppressing King appeared out of nowhere and shattered the Begonia Beast race's dream of rising.
Forced by helplessness, they had to attend Qian Er's ceremony of becoming a King and express their submission to him.
Living is not shameful.
Just when they thought they could escape this disaster, the Human Race sent envoys to force the Begonia Beast race to sign a treaty of affiliation.
Looking back on the past, Dada, the leader of the Begonia Beast race, always felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He stood on his territory, plucked a petal, and chewed it in his mouth.
"Report, Human Race envoys request an audience!"
Dada quickly swallowed the petal in his mouth and went to greet them.
"Your race's territory is truly wonderful, with singing birds and fragrant flowers."
The envoy said with a smile. Because the Begonia Beast race was too majestic in stature, Dada could only bow to talk with the envoy.
Hearing the envoy's words, his heart sank, but he still forced a smile and said, "You're joking. This territory is very barren."
As he spoke, Dada led the envoy towards the depths of the territory. The palace of the Begonia Beast race was divided into above ground and underground. Whether they lived above ground or underground, they were very adaptable.
However, in order to distinguish status, the higher their position in the race, the higher they lived.
Those who lived in the above-ground palace, taking the Path of the Bear, were all burly warriors. Those who lived in the underground palace, taking the Path of the Mouse, had limbs that were not as developed, but in exchange for more agile movement.
Their leader, Dada, was at the peak of the Path of the Bear. He led the Human Race envoy to the top floor of the palace.
"Great King, other people from the Human Race have come, but they have not entered the territory."
A message came from the flower-like feathers on his back. He looked at the Human Race envoy with suspicion.
"Presumably, King Dada is also aware of recent events?" The envoy looked at Dada with a smile.
"Yes, I know a little. The Human Race is not having a good time these days. The Eight Races Alliance is eyeing them covetously, and the myriad races are also banding together."
Dada nodded. Before figuring out their intention, his attitude towards the envoy was still respectful.
"King Dada, you certainly wouldn't believe us if we said that the Human Race isn't afraid of those eight races, but it won't be easy for those eight races to swallow us either."
The envoy nodded, trying to make his words sound pleasant: "As allies, I hope that you can help us with some things at this time."
"You're joking. The Human Race is our suzerain. If there's anything, we will definitely help with all our strength and will never refuse what we can do."
Dada said, guessing the other party's request in his heart.
"I hope that King Dada can help us go to the front line. We will provide the Great King with weapons and equipment to fight against the Icefang Dragons side by side with us."
"? ?"
Dada pointed to himself.
"Me? Fight the Icefang Dragons?"
The envoy nodded solemnly: "Yes, all the equipment will be provided by our Human Race."
"Oh, I'm afraid that won't work…"
Dada's smile was uglier than crying, and his tongue seemed to be tied as he stammered a long paragraph.
The Human Race envoy highly suspected that he didn't even know what he was saying.
"Although the Human Race is our suzerain, this matter is really embarrassing for us. How could we be the opponents of the Icefang Dragons…"
"This matter, ah, it's not that we won't do it. There's no such thing as us saying we absolutely won't do something. Right now, we don't know anything about this matter…"
"Since we don't know, we can't talk about this matter, because why? Because we don't know about this matter, right…"
"Asking us to fight the Icefang Dragons is really embarrassing for us. I hope you can understand. Our strength is at most enough to fight their affiliated races, and we might not even win…"
"Good, it's settled then."
The Human Race envoy said with a smile.
"…What's settled?" Dada looked at him in a daze.
"You said it yourself just now, that you were going to fight the affiliated races of the Icefang Dragons."
"Ah? Did I say that? You must have misheard. What I meant was that our race is now useless in battle and has no strength to participate in the war…"
Dada couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.
"Listen, I've recorded it."
The envoy took out a voice recorder from somewhere and played what Dada had just said.
"Our strength is at most enough to fight their affiliated races…"
"…"
This time, Dada had nothing to say. After all, the Human Race was their suzerain. Delaying and perfunctorily carrying out official duties was still possible, but defying them? He wouldn't dare even if he had ten times the courage!
They came prepared!
"Don't worry, the Town Suppressing King will protect you in the dark at that time."
Town Suppressing King? Protect?
Dada didn't believe that the Town Suppressing King would be so kind. He was probably supervising in the dark to see who wasn't working hard and would settle accounts after the autumn!
"I understand."
Dada gritted his teeth and squeezed out four words.
"Good, then I'll send you all the weapons and some resources. We can plan when to attack… Looking at you, you seem to be in bad shape, King Dada. Are you not happy?"
"Happy, I'm too happy, hahaha."
Dada squeezed out a distorted smile.
"Don't worry, we've already chosen the opponent for you. You originally had grudges anyway. This time, consider this opportunity as us supporting you to take revenge."
The envoy smiled.
"The race you want us to attack is…" Dada looked at the envoy with some doubt.
"Steelwing Elephants."
As soon as the envoy finished speaking, Dada's pupils shrank instantly.
"If I remember correctly, your two races have had a long-standing feud, right? Especially since they couldn't beat you in the end and immediately found the Icefang Dragon race as a backer, not hesitating to offer resources in order to severely attack you."
"If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be so weak now."
"The weapons will be provided by our Human Race, but casualties will definitely be unavoidable."
Originally, the grievances between the two races had passed for a long time. Since the other party had the backing of the Icefang Dragons, the Begonia Beast race had been beaten several times and had scurried away without daring to show their faces. They were also unwilling to actively provoke trouble.
In a situation where the strength was evenly matched, they were also afraid of being greatly injured.
But since the Human Race was already forcing them to go to battle, this was a good opportunity to wash away the grievances of that time!
"Now, we can discuss when to send troops," Dada said through gritted teeth, his fur almost standing on end.
