This decision was unexpected but reasonable. Fortunately, the Presidents were not scared out of their wits by the Spider God and fled without a fight.
In fact, everyone knew that the Monster Clan had no way out now. They could only fight with their backs to the wall. Only by killing the Spider God could they eliminate the threat of the insect disaster. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive in the Monster Nation no matter how big it was.
This was exactly what Ding Ning wanted. He didn't want his efforts to go to waste because of the cowardice of these chairmen when he was about to enter the Thousand Demon City.
"Report!"
The drawn-out report shocked everyone. They looked at the military intelligence officer who was kneeling on one knee outside the door.
"Speak!"
Although everyone in the room was a big shot, only Ding Ning and Kong Lei were in charge of military affairs. Therefore, Ding Ning gave the order directly.
The military intelligence officer looked straight ahead as if he did not see the Presidents. He raised his head and cupped his fists at Ding Ning. "Commander, our scouts have received news that the Golden Lion Clan has united with the four major races in the Monster City and incorporated the millions of soldiers that we scattered this morning. They have formed an army of ten million and are approaching our army."
"What? This damn old lion. I knew he was ambitious. He didn't pick a side and wanted to take advantage of the situation. "
"Luo Yunji, that old thing, finally can't sit still anymore?"
"Humph! That damn old thing finally showed his fox's tail. "
"He has been in charge of the First Territory for thousands of years and is only one step away from the Monster City. How can Luo Yunji be satisfied?"
"This is troublesome. Although the Golden Lion Clan is slightly weaker than us, they are stronger than us if they join forces with the four major races."
…
The Alliance Councilors were in an uproar. Some mocked and ridiculed, some were filled with righteous indignation, some were filled with worry, and some were cursing out loud. There were all sorts of reactions.
They were worried about the force led by the Golden Lion Clan. Therefore, they did not start a full-scale war with the four major races. They were guarding against them and did not dare to waste too much of their strength.
But now, the Winged Man Clan's army was defeated and the situation was one-sided. The Golden Lion Clan finally could not sit still anymore. They had to make a choice between the two forces.
It was better to provide timely assistance than icing on the cake. Given the current one-sided situation, it was reasonable for the Golden Lion Tribe to choose to fight the four major species alliance.
The Winged Man Old Ancestor said unhurriedly, "What's there to panic about? Isn't it just the Golden Lion Race? There's nothing to be afraid of. "
"It's not that I'm afraid, but the current situation is very disadvantageous to us. The Golden Lion Clan has several dozen vassal clans under them. In addition to the four great clans, not only is their army three times the size of ours, even their top-notch combat prowess surpasses ours. We're in trouble now."
Kong Mi said worriedly.
"That's right, that damned Luo Yunji. Once he joined the battle with the experts and armies of the various races, the advantage we had before was gone."
Lang Li furrowed his brows and said irritably. The others also expressed their worries, and the room immediately turned into a mess.
The Winged Man Old Ancestor glanced at everyone with his deep eyes. A gleam flickered in his murky old eyes, causing the noise to gradually die down. Only then did he say in an orderly manner, "Don't worry about the top-notch combat prowess. Our current priority is to think about how to defeat this army of ten million. As long as we can defeat their army again, there will be people who will come to add flowers to the brocade."
Everyone immediately came to a realization. The gloominess and irritation from before were all swept away. They laughed and said, "The chairman is wise. We've overthought things."
"That's right. As long as we can defeat their allied army again, those fence-sitters will naturally know what to do."
"That's right. Why didn't I think of that? Although these fence-sitters are a little timid, they will naturally want a share of the loot now that the situation is clear."
"It's a little depressing just thinking about it. Damn it. We've fought so hard and fought so hard, yet they come to reap the fruits of our labor at such a crucial time."
"Forget it. What's there to be calculative about? Even if they do contribute in the end, don't forget that we reward them according to their military contributions. No matter how useful they are in the final battle, they can't be compared to us."
"But the problem is, they have an army of ten million now. It's three times the size of ours. Can we win?"
…
The Wing Tribe's Patriarch's words woke the people from their dreams. All the chairmen immediately saw the light and laughed loudly. However, when a member timidly mentioned that the current situation was not optimistic, the laughter immediately stopped.
That's right. It was too early for them to be happy. Although there would be countless people who would take the initiative to come to them to add to their glory as long as they defeated the army of ten million, the prerequisite was that they had to first defeat the enemy's army to obtain victory. Although Ding Ning had defeated the enemy's camp with a surprise attack, it was a surprise attack after all. It was not a head-on battle.
Now that the allied army of ten million had come to them, they were forcing them to fight head-on. There was a three times difference in the number of soldiers between the two sides. It was impossible to defeat them.
Everyone looked at Ding Ning. Although Ding Ning had pushed the credit to Kong Lei, everyone knew that it was Ding Ning who had really come up with the plan to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
"Chief, do you have a way?"
The Wing Tribe's Patriarch stared at Ding Ning. For the first time, he addressed Ding Ning by his official title seriously. There was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips slightly. He said confidently, "I'll just deal with it when it comes. Ten million people are just like clay chickens and pottery dogs to me. They can't withstand a single blow. Everyone, just wait and see."
"Really? This isn't a joke. "
Kong Mi asked anxiously. He did not care to be angry with him anymore.
"Of course. However, I have two conditions."
Ding Ning glanced at the confused Kong Lei with a faint smile and said with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
"Say it. As long as you can defeat the army of ten million, let alone two conditions, even if you have ten conditions, we'll agree to it."
The Wing Tribe's Patriarch seemed to have seen through Ding Ning's thoughts and said resolutely.
"That's right. As long as you can guarantee to defeat the army of ten million, we'll agree to anything you want."
"Just say it. If you can defeat the enemy, we'll satisfy your conditions even if we have to sell everything we have."
…
Everyone expressed their stance.
"Alright, then I'll state my conditions. My condition is, Patriarch, Jier and I are in love and have pledged to marry each other. I hope Patriarch can grant our wish."
Ding Ning cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the Wing Tribe's Patriarch. Although Peng Tianjie was already his spirit pet, he still had to take her away from this world. Although the Wing Tribe's Patriarch suspected of using him, he was still very protective of him. Therefore, he did not want to ruin their relationship.
The Wing Tribe's Patriarch frowned. Although he felt that Ding Ning was blackmailing him, he thought that marrying Jier to him was also in line with the Wing Tribe's interests. He immediately relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "You and Jier are a good match, and you're in love with each other. I won't do something like breaking up a loving couple. As long as Jier has no objections, I'll grant your wish."
"Thank you for granting my wish, Patriarch. After we defeat the enemy, Ding Ning will personally present the betrothal gifts."
Ding Ning bowed deeply and respectfully.
All the Chairmen heaved a long sigh of relief. They all cupped their fists and congratulated him with a smile.
Kong Lei's face immediately turned bright red. Her heart thumped wildly like a fawn. She averted her eyes and lowered her head. She was both nervous and expectant.
Ding Ning raised two conditions. The first was to propose marriage to Peng Tianjie, and the second was to propose marriage to the Peacock Tribe. However, she felt uneasy. Her Second Grandpa's relationship with him was so stiff. Would he agree to Ding Ning's proposal?
As expected, Ding Ning turned and bowed deeply to the smiling Kong Mi. "Elder, this junior is young and arrogant. I have offended you in the past. Here, this junior apologizes to Elder. I hope that Elder is magnanimous and will not argue with this junior."
Kong Lei suddenly raised her head and looked at Ding Ning in disbelief. Something in the depths of her heart seemed to melt. It was soft and sweet. The unexpected happiness made her tears involuntarily blur her vision.
She knew better than anyone how proud Ding Ning was. It was a fantasy for him to lower his head and apologize to Kong Mi.
But now, Ding Ning had done this for her. How could she not be moved? The last line of defense in her heart completely collapsed. Biting her pink lips, she made up her mind. If Kong Mi did not agree, even if she eloped, she would not leave him.
Kong Mi's expression was slightly shocked. He did not understand what Ding Ning was doing. But he felt very comfortable that this despicable boy who had made him lose face publicly apologized to him. He immediately grinned and put on a noble posture. He supported Ding Ning with both hands. "What are you saying, Chief? I've long forgotten those small matters and did not take them to heart."
Ding Ning cursed inwardly. "Pretend, pretend as much as you can. This narrow-minded old man ordered his own son to spread rumors in the military camp and attack my prestige. Do you really think I don't know?"
But now that he had a favor to ask, he naturally would not expose him and embarrass him. He straightened his body and bowed deeply again. "Kong Lei and I have been together for a long time and have feelings for each other. I want to take Kong Lei as my wife. I hope you can fulfill my wish, Senior."
As soon as he said this, everyone was silent. Peng Tianao subconsciously looked at Kong Lei. Seeing her nervous and shy appearance, his face instantly turned pale. His heart ached so much that it felt like it was dripping blood. He lowered his head and looked sad.
The Wing Clan's Patriarch glanced at him and sighed inwardly. "Silly boy, Kong Lei's heart is not with you. Marrying her will be a disaster, not a blessing. You can't compare to her shrewdness and scheming. Only Ding Ning can subdue her."
However, the Wing Clan's Patriarch's eyes flickered. He immediately realized Ding Ning's intention. A trace of regret flashed in his deep eyes. "Unfortunately, I'm a wild Wing Person. It's impossible for me to become the Wing Clan's patriarch. How good would it be if I'm a direct descendant of the Wing Clan?"
All the people present quietly glanced at Peng Tianao, and their hearts were filled with a sense of schadenfreude. Peng Tianao, Kong Lei's ex-fiancé, was the most embarrassed when Ding Ning proposed marriage in public. This made them subconsciously think that the Wing Men Clan was not united, and this was the scene they wanted to see.
The smile on Kong Mi's face instantly stiffened. His face turned red and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. "Even if a wild little bastard has some ability, what qualifications does he have to marry the little princess of the Peacock Clan?"
He wanted to fly into a rage on the spot, but considering that he still needed to defeat the army of millions, he refused directly. If he made this brat refuse, then he would offend everyone. Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, he said indifferently, "It's too early to talk about this. Let's wait for the commander-in-chief to show his power and defeat the enemy."
These words were quite slick. It was a euphemistic refusal and also gave him a glimmer of hope. If Ding Ning refused to do it, it would mean that he did not take the overall situation into consideration and was deliberately threatening him.
Kong Lei's face turned pale. She felt a strong sense of powerlessness and despair in her heart. "In the end, I still refused?" Then, her eyes became determined. She had already made up her mind that at worst, they would elope.
How could Ding Ning not hear Kong Mi's refusal? He sneered in his heart. "Don't even think about playing tricks with me."
