Chapter 2363: Chapter 1054: Deep-Level Scheme

Blood Claw sneered and said, "The upcoming matters will not be up to him to decide.

Before we send out the troops, I will disseminate the contents of our contractual agreement to other tribes, forcing them to unite against the Beast Demon tribe.

For safety’s sake, it’s best for us to take the lead in this, allowing those who have secretly pledged allegiance to our tribe to demonstrate their value.

Is General Thomas interested in serving as the behind-the-scenes commander of these tribes?"

Never place your hope on unreliable allies; Blood Claw had realized this truth while following the Black Reaper Jackalwere Battalion.

"So the General has already prepared a countermeasure," Thomas said with unconcealable excitement in his eyes. "It’s an honor to undertake this responsibility. This task should be handled sooner rather than later, so I won’t be returning to Blood Gorge City with the General. I will immediately go to the relevant tribes to contact them about this matter."

This sort of mission is highly sought after. In the process, he will have full autonomy, with power over life and death in his hands.

"You’re not taking your main unit with you?" Blood Claw was very satisfied with Thomas’s response.

Among the five Blood Oath Warlords currently in Blood Gorge City, Thomas was not the strongest in terms of force, but he was the most cunning, especially in his understanding of strategy and tactics, far ahead of the other Hobgoblins.

Hobgoblins never lacked brave and warlike individuals, but they lacked those who could restrain their desires and had strategic acumen.

Hence, he became a key focus in Blood Claw’s training, and tasks requiring strong independence were first considered for him.

Blood Claw was not concerned about his status being threatened.

The speed at which they were developing far surpassed the speed of talent acquisition.

Once Thomas could truly take charge, they wouldn’t be far from establishing a second Hobgoblin city.

The Giant Plains were vast enough to accommodate a dozen Thomases.

Thomas grinned, "No need. We’re not trying to win the war; we’re trying to drag the Beast Demon tribe into the war, hindering its expansion. Those unreliable mobs are enough.

If I deploy my main force, it would be too conspicuous and easily become evidence against us.

If possible, it would be best for the General to help me find a piece of magic equipment for disguise and transformation, to facilitate my covert actions."

"No need to wait until we get back; I have one right here." Blood Claw pulled out a magic mask and handed it to Thomas, "This transformational mask will let you disguise yourself as an average-sized humanoid creature. It’s yours from now on."

Having a transformation mask was evidently not by chance.

It’s likely he had often used it to blend in with ordinary Hobgoblins or to delve deep into the Giant Plains.

Nicely put, it’s called gathering public sentiment.

Bluntly put, it’s clearly a means of surveillance and inspection.

"Thank you, General. I have more confidence in completing this task now." Thomas synchronized with the mask after receiving it, placing it onto his face.

The mask automatically adjusted in size, fitting perfectly onto his facial contours.

As the magic aura flickered, Thomas’s body type reduced by half, transforming into a large Orc.

He planned to start with those Orc tribes that could resist the Half-Ogre’s coercion and allure yet hadn’t joined the Beast Demon tribe, surely because they had ambitions or didn’t agree with the Half-Ogre’s tyrannical rule, making them the easiest to incite. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Because they might become the Beast Demon tribe’s primary targets of attack.

Wuerkrna, who called himself the king of all the Orcs and Trolls of the Giant Plains, naturally always wanted to bring all the Orc tribes under his banner.

However, constrained by Blood Gorge City’s deterrence, he never had the chance to initiate a major conflict.

Now there is an opportunity; it doesn’t matter what Wuerkrna decides to do.

What matters is making those related Monster tribes believe he will act that way.

This is not difficult to accomplish; just a little bit of rumor is enough, especially with the meeting between Blood Claw and Wuerkrna being public, known to countless individuals.

This event alone will provoke numerous speculations.

The Half-Ogre himself has never hidden his ambitions.

Under intentional incitement, the tribes surrounding the Beast Demon tribe quickly stood on his opposite side, forming a large-scale alliance, ready to confront him.

Wuerkrna knew well that it was the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City who were secretly causing trouble, yet there’s nothing he could do since the contractual restrictions are not strong, and both sides employ their respective methods, which is quite normal.

Just like how he, after finishing negotiations, immediately sent someone to warn the Jackalwere Queen, revealing the whole plan of Blood Gorge City.

The fiercer the conflict between the Jackalwere Queen and the Hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City, the more beneficial it would be for him; ideally, it would result in mutual destruction.

The Jackalwere Queen seemed to have gotten wind of the information early and began to assemble a monster army to prepare for the attack from Blood Gorge City.

As the most powerful military force on the Giant Plains, every move of Blood Gorge City would be watched by someone, and the expanse of the Giant Plains made it impossible for them to launch a surprise attack.

Blood Claw did not intend to launch a surprise attack either, because the order from Katherine was not simply to eliminate the Jackalwere Queen, but to inflict as much damage as possible on the Jackalweres in the Giant Plains.

Rather than searching the entire Giant Plains, it’s better to give the Jackalwere Queen some time to gather all the Jackalweres under her rule and then crush them collectively.

Daring to implement this plan was naturally based on a foundation of formidable military strength.
