Chapter 104 "Dealing" with the Old, Weak, Women, and Children (Bonus Chapter for Recommended Votes)

These legendary creature knights possessed formidable individual abilities, but against the endless, fearless tide of insects, they were destined to be exhausted and ultimately killed.

Unfortunately, due to the Blackthorn Overmind's control, Fang Senyan and his team wouldn't reap any benefits. "Oh, wait, that's not entirely true. At least twenty-three hearts for the sacrifice were collected, except for the one still beating in Chierkeok's chest."

Just as Fang Senyan and his team were planning to press their advantage, the Blackthorn Overmind delivered unfortunate news: Mother Earth, Eywa, had contacted it and issued an ultimatum. She acknowledged that the Blackthorn tribe's defense of its sub-base was justifiable, but now that the base was secure, they could no longer violate the agreement.

This meant that if the Blackthorn tribe didn't want to face another war with Eywa, they would have to withdraw their Mammoth Beasts, Scorpions, and other units back to their base and undergo demobilization and reorganization. This also meant that Fang Senyan's available forces were back to their previous state: limited to 800 to 900 in population, a total of 1600-1800 Velociraptors, plus a very limited number of rare elites.

Frankly, with a force of this size, it was still difficult to take down the severely weakened Mosake tribe in one fell swoop. After all, Velociraptors were too fragile and died too quickly when facing narrow, dangerous terrain and the enemy's wide-area damage capabilities. At the very least, they would need to form a mixed force with regular Mammoth Beasts to absorb damage.

Faced with this situation, despite Fang Senyan's anticipation, he could only sigh softly and order a halt to the pursuit. However, this battle had essentially achieved Fang Senyan's expected goals. The Mosake tribe's active combat strength had been reduced by at least six to seven levels, and their stored food had been completely exhausted.

In addition, only four of the thirteen legendary creature knights, who were the backbone of the tribe, remained, and they were all injured. The number of tribe members lost by the entire Mosake tribe in this battle, including those killed, captured, and missing, was close to a third! Strictly speaking, the number of controlled creatures killed or injured was more than half!

Watching the Mosake tribesmen flee, Fang Senyan turned to look at the powerful contractor, MCDH, with a half-smile on his face: "Almost three hours have passed."

MCDH looked quite frustrated. He sighed and shook his head slightly: "I understand, my strength is indeed dispensable to you."

The black guy exchanged glances with Fang Senyan, whistled, laughed, walked over, and patted MCDH on the shoulder: "Well then, I hope we can cooperate more happily in the future."

MCDH was startled: "What did you say? Cooperate?"

He immediately came to his senses and said in surprise: "You still plan to cooperate with me? But Fang Senyan smiled meaningfully: "We don't mind helping out, but the prerequisite is that the person being helped at least appreciates our kindness. As for whether they repay it or not is another matter."

MCDH took a deep breath and said seriously: "Okay, I owe you a favor! As long as I don't die, I will definitely repay this favor."

At this time, the black guy interjected: "I heard that in the revival process of the Song of the Elves seed, you have to hunt down powerful creatures to obtain their spiritual hun as revival material. Could it be that you have already done this?"

MCDH nodded: "That's right, it sounds simple, but I have traveled through several worlds, and even if the creatures I hunted can have their spiritual hun extracted, they often cannot match the seed in my hand. It was while hunting a tamed female legendary Peacock Deer that I was unfortunately targeted by the Hammerhead Thunder Beast Knight, Otter, and was captured."

Fang Senyan nodded: "Understood. It seems that there's no need to create a special plan for you. Our current goal is to continue to weaken the Mosake tribe, which is basically consistent with your goal. By the way, have you tried collecting spiritual huns from those powerful creatures that were just killed by the Velociraptors?"

MCDH smiled wryly: "No, because the bodies of the killed legendary creatures were either melted in the fungal carpet mucus, or directly devoured by the Velociraptors. I had no chance at all."

At this time, Reef walked over, frowned, and said to Fang Senyan: "We have captured 131 Mosake tribe members alive, and it is expected that this number may rise to about 180 in half an hour. At least half of them are women, the elderly, and children. What do you say we do?"

Most of these Mosake tribe members had their legs severely injured, so they couldn't escape. Their previous purpose was to hinder those Mosake people who had already escaped, causing them to return to rescue people, which resulted in their own capture. Now, falling into Fang Senyan's hands, they had become a hot potato.

Mogansha hesitated and said: "Or we can release them back? These people will become a heavy burden for Chierkeok."

MCDH immediately said anxiously: "Don't! You underestimate Chierkeok too much. Not to mention that there may be a way to quickly heal injuries in the Mosake tribe, but once they are cornered, Chierkeok will definitely order the seriously injured tribe members to be killed and used as food! Releasing people rashly will only suddenly increase their strength!"

Hearing this, Reef punched the big tree next to him and said angrily: "This beast! Isn't he afraid of doing this and causing everyone to be alienated?"

MCDH said lightly: "According to the information I obtained before, all the Mosake tribe members will most likely place this debt on our heads."

Reef was furious: "What kind of bullshit logic is that?"

MCDH said: "This is the logic of the Na'vi!"

The black guy muttered: "So, can we only feed them to the bugs? Damn, I guess the Blackthorn guy would be very happy to hear such good news."

Fang Senyan's eyes swept over the terrified faces of the Mosake tribe children, and he directly rejected this proposal in his heart. Everyone should have their own bottom line. Fang Senyan could use all means in the battle against the enemy, but this should at least not include children… even the children of alien races… at least they are innocent.

After thinking of the word "alien race," Fang Senyan's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately realized that he had found an excellent way to perfectly deal with these hot potatoes that couldn't be killed or released. If he operated it well, maybe he could even get a lot of benefits.

…………

At this time, almost all the wild flying raptors around had died in the beast tide, so Fang Senyan directly sent a large number of Zerg hosts to be deployed around the Wind Stone Highlands, closely monitoring the movements of the Mosake tribe.

To put it bluntly, he was clearly bullying the Mosake tribe for not having air superiority. These jellyfish-like floating creatures were the best sentries. Their perception could even make the Na'vi invisible creatures have nowhere to hide.

Fang Senyan currently had a total of about 1,600 to 1,800 Velociraptors (two Velociraptors occupy one manpower) that he could mobilize. Once the Mosake tribesmen dared to rush out of their lair, the Velociraptors would directly rush up to fight them head-on.

In short, the Mosake tribe was losing one person for every death, and based on the current production capacity of the Blackthorn Zerg, even if all these Velociraptors died, it would only take three hours to replenish them. It's just that if the Velociraptors were used to fight in the Mosake tribe's lair, they would easily be limited by the complex terrain and fall into an awkward situation where one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot pass.

In that kind of situation, Fang Senyan might be able to kill hundreds of Velociraptors by himself, let alone the fact that there were hundreds of people in the Mosake tribe who were stronger than him at this time? Therefore, he could only engage in a battle with them on the wide and open plain, where 1,800 Velociraptors could encircle them from all directions and exert the greatest advantage of being numerous! Even if they were all killed, it would be super worthwhile!

Even if there was a vacuum period in troop strength at that time, Fang Senyan could bully the Mosake tribe for not having air superiority and use a large number of hosts to follow the Mosake tribe's movements. Several hours later, he could lead 1,500 Velociraptors to launch an air raid by riding the Overlords. In this way, in at most two or three days, the Mosake tribe would fall into a continuous crazy attack and be dragged to death alive!

More importantly, how could Chierkeok, who had just suffered a lot from the Blackthorn Zerg, know that Fang Senyan could only use 1,800 Velociraptors to deal with him? Therefore, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would only think it was a trap, so it was a small probability event that he would rush out.

After arranging all this, Fang Senyan whispered a few words to Mogansha. The black guy suddenly showed a look of understanding on his face, and then laughed: "Wow, boss, you're really something, you even thought of this! Okay, leave this to me, you go first, I'll come later."

Fang Senyan nodded, took the somewhat inexplicable Reef, and by the way, rode on the flying host. Reef looked at the direction of flight and said in surprise: "Where are we going?"
