Pride and Kairu almost persuaded the Chief of Light Bombyx Tribe to be the empire's vassal. The sudden announcement about the territory war cornered the Chief of the Light Bombyx Tribe to make a quick decision.
However, the five Fire Bombyx Mori came over and disrupted the talk. Kairu was pissed off by the five red bugs.
Pride, who noticed the tense atmosphere between his friend and the five Fire Bombyx Mori, nudged his friend and whispered, "Oy, don't antagonize them. It will be better if we can persuade the other Bombyx Mori Tribes to be the empire's vassal too."
There were five tribes of Bombyx Mori. The Light Bombyx Mori Tribe, The Fire Bombyx Mori Tribe, The Wind Bombyx Mori Tribe, The Ice Bombyx Mori Tribe, and The Metal Bombyx Mori Tribe.
All five tribes corporated into one, The Bombyx Mori Tribe. One of the participants of the Territory War Game.
Amongst the five tribes, the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe was not specialized in the battle. The Light Elemental Attribute could be used to heal, create protection, and support the fighter as well.
That was the reason why The Light Bombyx Mori Tribe was getting cornered by the zombies. They lacked in combat.
Noticing the special traits of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe, Kairu and Pride planned to convert this tribe to be the empire's vassal. Both believed that The Lord would be pleased if they had the Light Bombyx Tribe join their force.
The Light Bombyx Mori's presence could reduce the casualties on the battlefield and their supporting skills could enhance the power of the Tarrior. That was why Kairu did not like this Fire Bombyx Mori who interrupted his plan.
"What if I decline the offer? What will you do to us? Will the empire spare us?" Helia looked at Pride and asked. She did not bother to mediate the tense atmosphere between Kairu and the five Fire Bombyx Mori.
Before Pride could answer her, Kairu spoke first. He stepped forward, "Then we will eradicate the Light Bombyx Tribe! Don't you also get the notification about the war? We will not spare a tribe that could be a potential threat to the empire!"
The Flaming Lion said those words out coldly. If not for the Territory War Game, he might spare this tribe. But now the situation was different, this was a war. Mercy to your enemy meant merciless to yourself. Even though the tribe was just a potential threat, he would eradicate them before they could become a real threat.
There was silence for a moment while the five Fire Bombyx Mori were looking back and forth between Kairu and Helia. The five were still clueless about the talk between the two sides.
"Then the last question. This will be my last question before I make my decision for me and my tribe. How confident are you that the empire will win the war?" It was a straightforward question from Helia.
"Don't be stupid, we will win this war for sure! Those zombies are nothing in front of My Lord!" Kairu replied loudly and confidently.
The five Fire Bombyx Mori's wings turned into a scorching fire. The five flying beasts then flapped their fire wings toward Kairu.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Then the scorched fire swirled and shot toward Kairu. The five attacked the Flaming Lion with their fire.
"You should not play with fire, bugs!" Kairu's became wider as the fire exploded. The lion beastmen figure was swallowed by the fire.
As for Pride, he had stepped away from his buddy. He trusted his buddy to take care of the five bugs. He did as per his instruction, contacting Tang Shaoyang through the Communication System.
"Watch this, Helia! You are just stupid to trust the mindless grounded beast!" The Fire Bombyx Mori shouted at Helia, "Follow me to meet Chief Vehiel to accept your punishment if you don't want, you and your tribe burned just like that stupid grounded beast!"
"Your fire is quite warm, I enjoyed it," the burning fire suddenly vanished and a figure appeared from the fire.
Kairu's whole body had turned into fire, grinning at the five bugs in the air. The five red bugs were stunned in the air, seemingly could not believe that their fire did not work on Kairu.
"Chief Helia! Please stay away a bit further. I am afraid that I will accidentally burn you and your people," at his words, Helia flew back further from the battlefield. The other Light Bombyx Mori also flew back further from Kairu and the five Fire Bombyx Mori.
"Let me show you the real fire, trash!" After Kairu said that, his figure flashed to the air, leaving the red streak behind.
In the blink of an eye, Kairu appeared between the five Fire Bombyx Mori.
Bwoosh!
A huge flame burst out from Kairu's body. The flame exploded and engulfed the fifty meters area. The flame burned everything on its path, including Helia's home.
Helia watched her home getting engulfed by the fierce flame. The scorching heat blasted her. The heat was too hot to the point she felt pain from the heat.
She immediately cast a spell to protect her people. A light sphere surrounded the burning flame.
A minute later, the fire slowly dispersed into the air and showed a figure behind the flame. Kairu was standing on the ground that was still red because of the flame.
Helia looked around, trying to find the five Fire Bombyx Mori. However, she could not find a single of them. The five were burned into nothingness.
