The leaders of those large human families and clans said one after another, representing the opinions of those earls and marquises sitting on the ground behind them. They made the following decisions for the alliance of human clans one after another.
Emperor Shun knitted his eyebrows tightly, expressionlessly looking at these leaders, who had been waving their knives and forks and dividing the trophies.
These large human families and clans didn't make any contribution in controlling this flood, but when it came to fighting for trophies and credits, they were more active than anyone else. They were greedy, crazily greedy. After Ji Hao killed so many of their elders and important clansmen, their greediness became more and more hysterical.
Even when fighting for trophies, the leaders of these large human families and clans never forgot to weaken the others and strengthen themselves.
As the leaders of clans, they were quite talented. They had made a strict battle plan in an orderly manner, ordering certain clans to send out how many soldiers and fodder, and how many armaments and supplies they should take out to follow the army's orders.
The allied force formed by these large human families and clans would march into Northern Wasteland under the unified command of these large human families and clans.
Obviously, the allied force formed by ordinary human clans and the flood-control army, which was seen as already in the pockets of those large human families and clans, would become the vanguard of Gong Gong's army. The armies of these large human families and clans, the true elites of these families and clans, would stay in the rear to 'support' and 'respond'!
If those large human clans under Gong Gong's command fought back fiercely, the casualties would all be from these ordinary human families and clans.
The armies of these large human families and clans would stay in the rear to 'support' and 'respond'. No matter how many people died in the front, the territories conquered by the end would be theirs! They wouldn't have to sacrifice too much to seize large tracts of fertile land.
Emperor Shun's face was darkened, and so did the leaders of the other large human families and clans, especially the leaders of those small human clans, who didn't come from large human families and clans. Instead, they came from small human clans and gradually grew stronger. Their faces were so dark that they seemed to burst into thunderbolts at any moment!
About forty percent of the marquises and earls took on the heaviest tasks. They had to dispatch the largest number of soldiers and horses, as well as the largest number of supplies.
During the flood, the territories and people of these marquises and earls suffered great losses. After all, they were new and powerful clans, unlike You Xiong City, which had powerful defensive formations to resist the flood. After the flood, it was the critical moment for them to rebuild their homes and recuperate. However, the big clans were forcing them to prepare for war!
Quite a few earls and marquises had twisted faces. They wanted to stand up and argue loudly, but their friends around them moved and pressed them to the ground to stop them from doing anything. Everyone was well aware that there was no benefit in going against these large clans!
They weren't like Ji Hao. They weren't as powerful as Ji Hao, neither did they have the complicated and strong background of Ji Hao. If they offended these big clans, it was very likely that they would inexplicably 'die of a sudden illness' one night. Their clansmen would be divided up by their enemies like tigers and wolves, and they would become the slaves of others. Their territory would also become someone else's ranch.
Quite a few earls and marquises even gritted their teeth in anger … They could only grit their teeth and sulk, daring not to say a word. They didn't dare to pull out their swords like Ji Hao and cut a powerful being from a big family that they didn't like.
Ji Hao touched the scorching jade talisman in his pocket, slowly stood up, smilingly bowed to Emperor Shun, and said, "Emperor Shun!"
Gong Sun Bo raised his eyebrows and showed a weird smile. Slowly, he said, "Marquis Yao, we're discussing the important affairs of the humankind. If you have anything to say, you can talk after we're done!"
Ji Hao shook his head, grinned to Gong Sun Bo, and said, "What do we need to discuss? Haven't all the Patriarchs already decided on this matter? Even Emperor Shun can sit aside and listen to you talk. Why do we need to make plans? "
Gong Sun Bo sneered. Beside him, the leader of Chu Wu Clan, Master Wu, who was scrawny like a skeleton, shouted harshly, "Marquis Yao, what do you mean? You mean … "
"Ah!" Ji Hao abruptly screamed out and leaped a step towards Master Wu.
Wu Zong was like an ordinary human being who was suddenly confronted by a fierce tiger. He screamed out in fear, then leaned backward with his scrawny body. A dense cloud of smoke puffed out from his sleeve, within which, over ten scapegoat puppets, which were made from vines, darted out of the smoke, transformed into silhouettes that looked exactly like Wu Zong, and fled in all directions.
Ji Hao laughed, and so did many earls and marquises in the hall.
Slowly shaking his head, Ji Hao said, "Master Wu, what are you afraid of? I, Ji Hao, always follow the rules. I won't start a fight in the Town Hall. What I mean is exactly what you're thinking. I mean, you've all been worrying about the general policy of the humankind, and I have some personal affairs to deal with. I won't waste my time here! "
Wielding his broad sleeve, Ji Hao said goodbye to Man Man and Shaosi, then walked to the gate of the Town Hall with big steps.
Gong Sun Bo leaped up from the ground, pointed at Ji Hao's back, and shouted with the other tens of leaders, "Marquis Yao, you don't care about the general policy of the humankind, but worry about your own personal affairs! You're such a selfish person. If you walk out of this Town Hall today, you won't ever come back! "
Ji Hao paused, then smilingly stopped and glanced at Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun responded with a deep voice, "Marquis Yao Ji Hao has made a great contribution to our humankind …"
Gong Sun Bo interrupted Emperor Shun and said coldly, "This is a collective decision made by tens of thousands of earls and marquis from the alliance of human clans. Today, we are discussing the general policy of the humankind. Anyone who leaves the Town Hall during the meeting … From now on, he or she can never take a single step into this place!"
Sneering, Gong Sun Bo continued in a harsh tone, "Marquis Yao, you don't even care about the authority of the alliance of human clans. We believe that Marquis Yao doesn't deserve his title anymore. Please, Emperor Shun, deprive him of that title."
Ji Hao clicked his tongue. 'Hah, are you trying to deprive me of all titles? Not allowing me to take a single step into the Town Hall? This is like kicking me out of the core power of the humankind! ' When Ji Hao became an ordinary clan leader, could these large human families and clans do whatever they wanted to him?
"Earls and marquis, hehe, hehe!" Ji Hao looked at those earls and marquis sitting behind the leaders of those large families and clans, then laughed out loud. He didn't say a word, but laughed for quite a long while. Finally, he waved his sleeve and sent a fiery light up into the sky. Taking Man Man, Shaosi and the others, he rushed out of the Town Hall, without even looking back.
"Today, I'm leaving. I can leave whenever I want. You can't stop me!"
"One day, I'll come back. I'll come back whenever I want, and you can't stop me!"
"Life is long, and we still have a long way to go. Leaders, we have plenty of time to waste!"
Ji Hao's cold voice echoed in the Town Hall. Emperor Shun and the other earls and marquis all showed a faint smile on their lips, while the faces of Gong Sun Bo and the other leaders twisted instantly. They were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
"Marquis Yao Ji Hao, you will never have a chance to come back!" murmured Gong Sun Bo.
