Chapter 966: 31 Volumes The Hand That Covers The Skies Chapter 10 Strange Schemes

Gulupu had read the letter sent by the other party no fewer than ten times, and he could even recite every word on it fluently. Everything seemed to be in readiness, and the five thousand warriors of Carter Tribe had long been prepared and waiting for deployment. Their long-suppressed desire for combat needed only a glance to detonate, and now they were just waiting for his command.

As the Chief of Carter Tribe, Gulupu knew that his reputation was not good in anyone’s eyes, whether it was the Carlo Tribe and Sanwa Tribe, or the Caron Capo Tribe and Sanya Tribe. They all believed he had obtained his position solely due to his family reasons, and his indecisive character did not resemble a Mountain Person at all. However, this did not affect his control over Carter, the fourth-ranked tribe within the Mountain People Alliance.

The content of the letter was always as concise and clear as the demeanor of that guy in the secret talks, just a few short sentences, merely requesting that he act according to the plan as soon as the Caucasus Army achieved the first victory in battle. It seemed that everything was already within his grasp.

Gulupu was not worried about the outcome of the war; he knew that if he acted according to the plan, everything would be as flawlessly perfect as it was initially set. What he worried about was what victory in this war would bring to all Mountain People and what Carter Tribe would gain or lose? If he did not act according to the other party’s established plan, what would the end be for Carter Tribe?

Such complex reasoning and deduction truly troubled Gulupu; he was never able to make up his mind. The Carlo Tribe and the Sanwa Tribe were doomed, that guy had everything thoroughly designed before he even left the Southern Mediterranean region. No one could escape his grasp, not even himself.

He too had struggled, resisted, and tried to escape, but in the end, he sadly found that he could not contend with this devil-like person, unless he could disregard the survival and interests of his own tribe and recklessly dash himself against the rocks. He couldn’t do it; he wasn’t mad, sacrificing the interests of the tribe for a moment of impulsiveness, he would never be able to do that.

When that guy sat in front of him, gradually revealing his plan bit by bit, Gulupu even doubted if the other was crazy. How could he dare to expose such sensitive information to him so boldly? But later, Gulupu realized that he was not crazy but had already calculated both him and Carter Tribe into his plans, ensuring that he was powerless to resist.

From Caron Capo and Sanya Tribes to the Caucasus Army, from his own Carter Tribe to the Iberian Kingdom Dark Magician Group, which already held significant actual power, and even the Dwarves from Shimaina—the entire plan was like a meticulously interlocked fishing net; he was not afraid someone would break a link, as he still had backups hidden for every connection.

The target prey of this entire net was Carlo Tribe and Sanwa Tribe, but Gulupu also knew that even if he disclosed the whole plan to the concerned parties, no one would believe him. No one would trust the honesty of a participant who could profit from it.

In the end, Gulupu found that any attempt to change something was futile and meaningless; it would only bring harm to him and Carter Tribe, more or less.

The Lan Knight Order and Black Flame Knights, in coordination with the Nicosia Grand Mage Corps, launched a wildly unprecedented attack on the still unsteady joint forces of Carlo and Sanwa Tribes. This attack completely overturned the Barbarians’ impression that Mortal armies only engaged in traditional and orderly trench and open-field battles. The joint attack from the Grand Mage Corps plunged the Barbarian vanguard into sudden confusion and chaos. Although many of them had experience resisting Magic attacks, the subsequent knight charges completely dispelled the Barbarians’ intentions to reorganize an effective counter-attack.

The Rock Corps, following behind the Knights regiments, largely played the role of a culminating villain, rabidly chasing after the escaping Barbarian Soldiers and mercilessly pursuing them. If Dragumo had not timely reined in those half-beast soldiers lost in fury, perhaps they would have been beautifully ambushed by the main Barbarian forces, who had already received the news and set up an ambush.

Perhaps from a tactical perspective, the war did not achieve any significant victories, with three thousand Barbarians routed, over a thousand dead, hundreds captured and the rest dispersed. Compared to the assembled Barbarian main force of over forty thousand, such losses were trivial. Yet this prompted Gulupu to firmly decide to throw his lot in with Komer, and, of course, a cautious demonstration of power from the Iberian Kingdom Dark Magician Group played a role as well.

The sudden attack by Carter Tribe and the Iberian Kingdom Dark Mage Corps on the rear of Carlo and Sanwa tribes instantly plunged the entire South Kodillara Wilderness into utter chaos. One could imagine the devastating impact this news had on the morale of the joint forces of Carlo and Sanwa Tribes, especially the soldiers from the smaller tribes attached to these larger ones, whose cohesion immediately dissolved, losing all desire for war and potentially joining the ranks of defectors at any moment.

Chaos and despair shrouded Carlo and Sanwa tribes; aside from quarreling and brawling, these tribal Chiefs could not find an appropriate solution to the current predicament. Chief Uguoli of Carlo Tribe was just as powerless, and the authority he had painstakingly built over decades on Cordillera Wilderness crumbled like a clay wall exposed to water.

Caron and Capo Tribes, along with the Sanya Tribe’s forces, had already counterattacked, clearly having received the message. The Mortal armies inside Gdansk Fortress were also lying in wait, ready to pounce on and join the feast of tearing into this prey at any moment.

Disintegration, conflicting interests, everyone harboring their own schemes—these phrases perfectly reflected the current mindset of the leaders of this Barbarian alliance. Unable to advance, retreat, fight, or negotiate, even the alliance leaders did not know what to do now; what loomed in front of them was an endless darkness.
