Chapter 592: Chapter 540 Life Simulation 3 War
The tribe conflicting with Pei Xuanjing’s alliance is known as the Mo Yang Clan, which is among the most ordinary in the All Tribes, ranking rather low. Nonetheless, they still think highly of themselves, looking down on the human race as an inferior existence.
This tribe’s strength is not great, with only one Sixth Level powerhouse in its ranks. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken refuge in a corner of the wilderness, imposing their will while choosing not to venture to the bustling centre of these wildlands.
Of course, even though the Mo Yang Clan is not powerful and ranks low in All Tribes, they still maintain a strong sense of confidence and a superiority complex when confronting the human race, which is deemed the weakest of all species within the wildlands.
Therefore, when they saw the rise of the Human Alliance and the threat to their power, they chose to strike without any hesitation or attempt to investigate the reason behind this development.
This is the rule of the wilderness, the survival of the fittest laid bare. Those especially strong never lower their heads to take another look at those weaker than them.
As the Mo Yang Clan provoked Pei Xuanjing and his tribe, Pei Xuanjing did not hesitate to counterattack.
After decades of development and integrating dozens of tribes, the power of his alliance had rapidly expanded and strengthened. Of course, Pei Xuanjing understood that such growth was unrealistic and not truly solid, it was all based on his support and protection.
According to Pei Xuanjing’s plans, the Human Alliance, having developed to this stage, was indeed in need of the tempering that can only come from fire and blood. Even if the Mo Yang Clan had not initiated conflict, Pei Xuanjing would have sought an enemy to challenge the Human Alliance, to act as a honing stone to refine it.
Concurrently, the Mo Yang Clan’s initiation of conflict perfectly coincided with Pei Xuanjing’s plans. He was immediately ready to fight, to test the true outcome of the increase in power of the Human Alliance over decades.
Even if this battle would result in failure, casualties, and separations, Pei Xuanjing considered it inevitable.
The human race in this world had been oppressed for a long time. Pei Xuanjing believed that breaking this predicament didn’t require one or two powerful individuals but countless humans’ efforts, sacrifices, and their willingness to bleed.
Only through fighting, through experiencing tempering in fire and blood, could the human race earn the qualification to rise amidst the All Tribes of the wilderness.
When Pei Xuanjing conveyed all this to the members of the Human Alliance, no one refused, and no one backed down.
A great war began. Perhaps, in the eyes of the powerful tribes of the wilderness, this was just a minor battle between two insignificant tribes. But for the human race, this was their first battle towards emerging victorious, their first battle towards reaching the peak in the future. Everything started from this moment.
At 36: The Human Alliance and the Mo Yang Clan began their war. Initially, the Mo Yang Clan merely intended to suppress the Human Alliance and plunder enough benefits. Thus, in the early stages of the war, they didn’t think of going all out and only sent a fraction of their forces.
In their view, the human race was inherently weak. Having even hundreds of tribes united would make no difference to them. After all, the presence of the Sixth Level powerhouse in the Mo Yang Clan meant that they would never lose to the feeble human race.
However, they were completely taken aback. The tactics of the Human Alliance were diametrically opposed to theirs. Since they had decided to use this war as a learning experience, the Human Alliance prepared to go all out right from the start.
In the initial confrontations, the Mo Yang Clan, underestimating their enemy, retreated before the surprise offensive and explosive power of the human race. They suffered heavy casualties and lost much of their territory, which shook them to the core.
However, any species that survived in this wilderness was not easily defeated, even a back-ranking tribe like the Mo Yang Clan. They wouldn’t be thrown into disarray by this sudden failure.
So, after experiencing failure, they immediately changed their strategy. No longer underestimating the Human Alliance, they sent stronger forces to cope with this war.
Regrettably, once you miss a step, it’s hard to recover. They had already lost the initiative from the start of the engagement, the task of regaining this setback proves to be rather unattainable.
Pei Xuanjing sometimes realized that the saying “fortune comes unexpectedly, and horses fatten on wild grass” was indeed true. This series of victories, notwithstanding the many ordeals faced by the Human Alliance, brought spoils of war that they could have only accumulated through years of hard work.
Without hesitation, Pei Xuanjing decided not to withhold any of these plundered resources and instead invested all of it into increasing the strength of the human tribes.
The situation was clear – their initial offensive had caught the Mo Yang Clan off guard, and once the enemy managed to regroup, a vigorous counterattack was inevitable. So, they needed to increase their strength quickly to cope with the upcoming war.
And, as expected, after the resources were dispatched, according to the incoming reports, the Mo Yang Clan had begun to take the war seriously, and were getting ready to strike back.
Concerned, Pei Xuanjing began to pay closer attention. After all, even though the Mo Yang Clan was at the bottom end of the All Tribes, they were a considerably formidable adversary to the Human Alliance he was leading.
At 38: The Mo Yang Clan never expected that their initial intention of teaching the Human Alliance a lesson and plundering sufficient interests would evolve into such a scenario. The ongoing war between the two clans had lasted for three years. Even though the Human Alliance had encountered scores of crises and suffered severe losses in these past three years, they still persevered and completely mired the Mo Yang Clan in a quagmire of war.
It must be known that not all species coexist peacefully in the All Tribes. The Mo Yang Clan has its own enemies. These enemies, seizing the opportunity during the standoff of the Human Alliance and the Mo Yang Clan, started to make moves, even conducting multiple probes, and snatched many interests from the Mo Yang Clan.
Pei Xuanjing did not expect the initial battle to be so smooth. He had predicted that the Mo Yang Clan, after suffering their first failure, would immediately mobilize their full strength. The Human Alliance would be plunged into a difficult battle.
After all, what Pei Xuanjing wanted was training, not the complete annihilation of the Human Alliance. Hence, he was ready to provide aid at any moment. However, he didn’t anticipate that he wouldn’t need to intervene as the current situation was still under control.
At 39: The Mo Yang Clan was finally tired of the endless quagmire of war and were ready to stop dragging the war further. They eventually decided to end this war.
