Chapter 172 It's Poverty That's Causing Trouble

"Attack the God Clan?"

The two Old Ancestors of the Iron-Eating Beasts were stunned.

"Kid, when was this decided? How come I didn't know."

Chi You, with veins popping on his forehead, roared at Tie Dashan, "Scram, you have the nerve to ask. Have you ever managed anything? And you ask how you didn't know."

Tie Dadi nudged Chi You aside and said, "You, is this true? Have we really decided to attack the God Clan? When did this happen?"

Chi You looked at Tie Dadi with a sinister grin and said, "Tie Dadi, you've been talking here for almost an hour. What's the matter, did you just see me now? Did my height mislead you?"

With that, Chi You transformed into his Dharma form, becoming a giant comparable in size to Tie Dadi.

But before Chi You could speak, he saw a bear paw slap towards him.

With a thunderous boom, Chi You was sent flying, following in the footsteps of the Behemoth Old Ancestor.

Immediately, Tie Dadi's voice rang out, "Third Tiger, am I giving you too much face? What's with that? You think you can challenge me just because you've ascended to the Ancestral Realm? We've been fighting since we met. Every time you and your second brother got beaten, I was the one who cleaned up your mess. You still dare to bare your teeth at me? Keep acting tough, and see if I don't whip you again."

Everyone watched the flying Chi You, their eyes narrowing: 'Holy crap, is this old bear that fierce?'

Even Zi Qi quickly changed his attitude, no longer daring to act aloof towards Tie Dadi.

Tie Dadi looked at the rising Chi You and said impatiently, "Surrender?"

"Surrender."

"Will you still act tough in the future?"

"No more."

"Then tell me, who decided to attack the God Clan?"

"Uncle Shaodian."

Tie Dadi was taken aback upon hearing Chi You's answer, "Uncle Shaodian?"

"If that's the case, then it's for that plan. It seems Ancestors Fuxi and Nuwa will be returning as well."

"Attacking the God Clan, who is in command? How was it planned?"

Chi You pointed at Lin Zhan, who looked shocked, and said, "This kid is the overall commander, and the Demon Clan is on our side."

Tie Dashan was stunned again, "Holy hell, you even brought the Demon Clan over? Then it seems the God Clan is definitely doomed."

He then said to Lin Zhan, "Kid, go ahead and do it boldly. This Old Ancestor will be your vanguard. The entire Iron-Eating Beast race will support you. We'll definitely help you win this war."

Saying this, he slapped Tie Dashan again and said, "What are you still thinking about here? Didn't you hear what I just said? Go gather all our bear cubs and prepare to attack the God Clan."

After saying that, he picked up the Behemoth Old Ancestor, who was pretending to be dead, and threatened him, "Little Blondie, you have two options: first, surrender immediately, and I'll spare your Behemoth clan from extinction, and you won't die."

"Second, I'll... "

"No, no, no, Tie Laoda, I choose one. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. I'll follow you from now on." Before Tie Dadi could finish speaking, the Behemoth Old Ancestor quickly conceded.

"Not follow me, follow Great Shang. If you dare to have any other intentions, this Old Ancestor will skin you alive."

After dealing with the Behemoth clan, Tie Dadi shouted to Tie Laoda, "Big Brother, you and our warriors help Lin kid quickly deal with the Beastman race. Kill any who don't need to be kept, so as not to waste food."

"Kid, stop watching the show. Hurry up and issue the order. The Beastman race has quite a large population. These guys reproduce so much, you'll have to hack for days even if you order people to kill them."

Lin Zhan nodded and quickly said to Zhang Dabiao:

"Order the nine Group Armies to begin the slaughter of the Beastman race, excluding the Behemoth clan, the Centaur clan, and the peaceful Minotaur and Spirit Tiger clans."

"Anyone who eats people, kills people, or participated in the War of Ten Thousand Races will be exterminated. The Beastman race will not be annihilated until the human soldiers sheath their swords. Kill!"

"Yes."

As Lin Zhan's order was issued, the nine Group Armies of the human race, a total of 90 million soldiers, divided their forces and attacked the various Beastman planes, carrying out a purge of the entire Beastman race.

The Great Shang Xuan Bird Army, Giant Axe Army, Barren Elephant Army, Long Ju Chariot Legion, Ancestral Court Guard, and Lie Shan Clan Heavy Armor Legion also launched their attacks.

Originally, there was only the Lie Shan Clan Heavy Armor Guard, but with Lin Zhan's return, his elder brother Lie Shan Yu directly transferred the 1 million-strong Lie Shan Clan Heavy Armor Legion to him.

A full 1 million-strong Lie Shan Clan Heavy Armor Legion, all composed of quasi-kings, with over 100,000 kings among them. This group of heavily armored fierce men could match three of Lin Zhan's Group Armies.

Lin Zhan looked enviously at the Lie Shan Clan Heavy Armor Legion and said to Zi Qi:

"Old Ancestor, I feel that we should also form such an elite legion. My suggestion is to select elites from the entire Great Shang forces and form an elite legion with multi-branch cooperation. Let's tentatively set the total number at 3 million."

Zi Qi was stunned, then said helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to? But we don't have the money right now."

"The major clans of the Shennong tribe have not only longer inheritances than our Great Shang, but their accumulations are also much richer. Don't forget they used to sell medicine, while we were bandits. How can we compare?"

Lin Zhan thought about it, and it was indeed so. Selling medicine was a lucrative business, and the speed of earning money was much faster than robbing.

Although he had just gotten a sum from the Demon Ancestor, it couldn't sustain the vast armies of the human race.

Especially his elite First Front Army, which had now all advanced to Lord level. These guys alone consumed at least 30 million Lord-level spirit cores per month.

The 680 million he got from the Demon Ancestor, if calculated carefully, would only last the human race for just about a year.

"Alas, poverty is the root of all evil. As the strength of the armies under my command grows stronger, the expenses will also increase. If any unit advances to the quasi-king level, the monthly expenditure will increase tenfold."

Zi Qi patted Lin Zhan's shoulder and said, "Forget it, Zhan'er. Don't overthink it. Your Mo Dao Army is already very good. Once trained, it will be no less than the Lie Shan Clan's Heavy Armor Legion."

"After we finish conquering these few planes, we'll accumulate more strength, and then we'll study gradually building up Great Shang's elites."

Lin Zhan nodded and said, "That's the only way. Old Ancestor, you and the other Old Ancestors can patrol the Beastman planes one by one. Any plane with crystal ore veins, bring them back. We'll cultivate them slowly in the Ancestral Court."
