Chapter 1582 - 1556: Ying Tianmo's Little Scheme

The ten elders of the tribes present were mostly moved by the images in the video.

"Indeed, the Central Continent has been a place of exile and abandonment for thousands of years. Our tribe has had many people exiled to the Central Continent after committing crimes, and even their descendants cannot return to the tribe. Now that I think about it, is this punishment a bit excessive?"

"The living conditions on the Central Continent were originally harsh, with demon beasts everywhere. Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, it has become a prosperous territory."

"The fifty million people of the Central Continent are also members of our Dwarf Star. We should indeed welcome them back into the embrace of the Divine Hall."

...

The Thunder King glanced at the Eagle Heavenly King. Despite feeling that the people of the Central Continent should return to the embrace of the Divine Hall, he was somewhat uncomfortable because the proposal came from the Eagle Heavenly King.

"Ahem, the exclusion of fifty million Central Continent people from the citizens of the Divine Hall is indeed problematic. However, everyone also knows that they are criminals or descendants of criminals. The Divine Hall's decision then had its reasons. It can't be overturned with just a few words."

The North Heavenly King glanced at both the Eagle Heavenly King and the Thunder King and said blandly:

"The Eagle Heavenly King makes sense, and so does the Thunder King. This matter needs further consideration."

The Eagle Heavenly King and Thunder King simultaneously glanced at the North Heavenly King and inwardly cursed:

Damn, you old fox, isn't this nonsense?

However, the Eagle Heavenly King had already considered the situation. Without some preparation, how could he have casually proposed this meeting?

The Eagle Heavenly King glanced at the Thunder King and said:

"Thunder King, according to our previous agreement, the next batch of troops to be sent to Witch Star should be selected from your Moke Clan and the North Heavenly King's Beifeng Clan, totaling fifty thousand elite guards of Empire Level Advanced realm and twenty extraordinary Emperor Level experts. How are your two clans preparing?"

"Buzz!"

The minds of the Thunder King and the North Heavenly King buzzed upon hearing the Eagle Heavenly King's words.

So far, nearly three hundred thousand elite guards have been sent to Witch Star, drawn from the various tribes.

Actually, no tribe wants to send troops to war, because this indeed weakens the tribe's strength.

But Thanos Saint's orders cannot be disobeyed. Thanos' Netherworld Clan itself has sent fifty thousand elite guards, and other tribes naturally cannot fall behind.

Lei Tianmo coughed lightly and said blandly:

"Isn't there still half a year left? Our tribe is allocating guards and preparing."

North Heavenly Demon awkwardly smiled and said:

"Yes, we're preparing too, it won't be delayed."

Everyone knew internally that drawing guards from within the tribes to fight on Witch Star was met with significant resistance.

Each tribe has several factions, and no one wants to send their own people.

For example, Lei Tianmo, the elders in his tribe said that Lei Tianmo must let his sons and grandsons participate in this expedition, otherwise others will not send troops.

The senior members of the Divine Hall know, dozens of thousands of guards sent to Witch Star in previous times, at least half have died there.

Witch Star has a billion people, how can dozens of thousands conquer it?

Lei Tianmo has been troubled by this matter recently.

North Heavenly Demon is in no better position.

So, when the Eagle Heavenly Demon raised the issue, both were immediately embarrassed.

The Eagle Heavenly Demon continued:

"I know, the ten tribes now have significant internal opposition to the Witch Star expedition. Your tribe elders are in a difficult situation—on one hand, we must obey Thanos Saint's orders; on the other hand, our interstellar spaceships are limited, and Dwarf Star is too far from Witch Star. It takes over a year to make a round trip, severely limiting our troop transport.

The people of Witch Star use swarm tactics against us, resulting in high casualties, and many do not want to send their sons and husbands to war,

Lei Tianmo, you should still be worried about which son and grandson to send to battle, right?"

Lei Tianmo's old face blushed awkwardly, and he gave a wry smile.

"North Heavenly Demon, haven't your several wives caused trouble many times to stop their sons from going to war? Now you don't even want to go home at night, because your wives surround you with these issues—very annoying, isn't it?"

North Heavenly Demon chuckled awkwardly, saying:

"Those old women don't understand the bigger picture. Don't worry, I can handle it."

Everyone faintly smiled.

The Eagle Heavenly Demon scanned the crowd and loudly said:

"I have an excellent solution that can reduce or even eliminate the need for your tribes to send troops, while still dispatching elite guards to fight on Witch Star."

Everyone was shocked and looked at the Eagle Heavenly Demon together.

Lei Tianmo's mind had a flash of inspiration, and he said excitedly:

"Eagle Heavenly Demon, are you saying to let the people of the Central Continent Empire go?"

"Exactly!"

The Eagle Heavenly Demon gently slapped the table,

"The fifty million people of the Central Continent, with three hundred thousand Empire Level guards and over two hundred extraordinary Emperor Level experts, form such a strong army?

Why don't we use it?"

Everyone was stunned, then exclaimed in surprise:

"That's right!"

"This is a great idea!"

"We've been foolish not to use the existing forces of Central Continent!"

"Eagle Heavenly Demon is far-sighted, impressive!"

...

Lei Tianmo said:

"But if we ask them to send troops, will they be willing?"

The North Heavenly Demon slapped the table and said loudly:

"If they aren't willing, I'll personally go capture them. Whoever is unwilling, I'll kill them!"

The Eagle Heavenly King sneered: "If you kill them, who will you send to Witch Star?"

"Me?"

"The Central Continent was previously scattered with no leader to issue orders, but now things are different. Yang Xiao has established the Central State Empire and has high prestige. Now, we don't need to capture anyone. We just need to give Yang Xiao an order to send fifty thousand or a hundred thousand guards to Witch Star."

Lei Tianmo said:

"Will Yang Xiao agree?"

"Of course, he will. Didn't you just watch the video? Yang Xiao already said they are people of the Divine Hall, eager to return to its embrace and serve it,

Now isn't the opportunity here?"

The crowd looked at the Eagle Heavenly Demon, surprised to find that Eagle Heavenly Demon had long been targeting Yang Xiao?

The Eagle Heavenly Demon shifted his tone and said:

"If you want Yang Xiao to fight for you, shouldn't you give him a sweetener? Otherwise, why would he fight for you?

Yang Xiao is now the King of the Central State Empire, with fifty million people, hundreds of thousands of elite guards, and over two hundred extraordinary Emperor Level experts,

Yang Xiao is not yet thirty years old and already an extraordinary Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm expert, given time, breaking through to the Emperor Level Advanced Realm is not difficult,

The overall strength of the Central State Empire is not lower than that of the tribes present here,

Yang Xiao's potential does not pale compared to the elders here either."

North Heavenly Demon said:

"Eagle Heavenly Demon, what is your plan? Just spit it out, don't beat around the bush!"

"Hehe, I'm merely making a suggestion, whether it is adopted is up to you,

My suggestion is simple: Yang Xiao, as the King of the Central State Empire, enters the tribal elder council as the eleventh elder, and publicly announces the Central State Empire as officially becoming the eleventh major tribe of Dwarf Star, becoming people of the Divine Hall,

As a condition, the Central State Empire must dispatch a hundred thousand guards and fifty extraordinary Emperor Level experts to Witch Star."
