Chapter 592 We Need To Team Up
"Until then, they'll be forced to repeatedly enter the mainland for resources, which gives us plenty of chances to target them." Orakha continued, "And if they're unable to fix Varahan Enclave, they'll be forced to relocate to another region on Sumatra. But with his character, Brangara would wish to live in a safer environment for his family, and hence would prefer an Enclave that he could fully take control of."
Enclaves were closed pockets. Typically, only the native races live there, creating a stable environment where nothing too strange happens. After all, the variables were fixed.
It wasn't like Sumatra where all sorts of variables result in infinite chain reactions. If the Wean Clan was established in some location on Sumatra, they'd be forced to combat for resources with their neighbours.
Similar to all Free Human Kingdoms, they'll be spending a good majority of their time, Prana, and resources on fights. The Wean Clansmen would all have the power of an Empyrean Boar. So to satisfy their voracious appetite, they'd have to eat a lot, which would cause a dent on the environment if there were enough of them doing the same.
If the ecosystem was damaged enough, all the Pranic Beasts at Silver Grade and above would band together as a force of opposition, similar to what happened at the Brimgan Empire. They'll try to influence the Iron Grade Pranic Beasts and result in a Minor Crisis for the Wean Clan regularly.
As long as Brangara remains at home, these opposing Pranic Beasts will stay put. But the moment he leaves, they'll unleash their strongest attack to destroy the Wean Clan. Even if their chance of success is minimal, they'll still be able to cause damage to the Wean Clan.
This was a headache. Moreover, the Royal Zinger could use the surrounding races to target the Wean Clan. A simple reveal of a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast's presence would cause all Iron Grade Pranic Beasts to instinctively flee in the opposite direction.
After learning about this from 'Loot' in the Dralh Sea, Brangara used the tactic against the Mammoth Clan. From Brangara's perspective, Amita was at the Dralh Sea. So, she knew about this tactic.
And now, the Royal Zinger could effectively use this tactic against the Wean Clan and send in a swarm of Pranic Beasts. This one move can effectively lock Brangara in his home, forcing him to fight to protect his family from harm.
For however long this invasion continued, Brangara would be confined to the location. This would bode horribly for the Wean Clan, especially once the Royal Zinger starts to chuck boulders at them.
Hence, the best choice for the Wean Clan was to form a base in an enclave where they were free from such tactics. And Varahan Enclave was the best place for that, since it was the birthplace of the Empyrean Boar Race.
"Do you have the means to make it as if the one targeting them is the Royal Zinger?" Raaha asked Orakha, "We have plenty of Clansmen with the power of a Zinger. It is easy to create evidence pointing to the Royal Zinger."
"We're using the stuff Inala gave us to make him the culprit?" Orakha expressed his worry, "Won't we be making an enemy out of him by doing this? The risk is too high."
"We're indeed taking a risk, but it won't be an issue." Raaha gave his analysis, "For the first time in history, there are two Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts. Brangara feels threatened by Inala, so he would indeed focus on the latter once he adjusts to his life in the Varahan Enclave. When targeted by the Celestial Boar, Inala will be forced to give his everything to counter Brangara's plans."
"Since they're bound to fight each other, you're giving more ammo to Brangara," Orakha figured out the plan.
"Yes," Raaha nodded, "All I want is for Brangara to focus on the Royal Zinger for the time being. As long as he doesn't target us for a few decades, the Mammoth Clan can become strong enough to seriously think of fighting him."
"So our goal is to buy time." Orakha nodded.
"Indeed," Raaha nodded, "From the time I became the Mammoth Clan Chief, I've experienced countless acts of aggression by the Boar King. We've been unable to grow much due to his constant harassment. As long as we have some peace, we can capitalise on our current gains to grow tremendously."
Currently, the Mammoth Clan had an excess of resources, allowing the biomes of all Empyrean Tusks to function at full capacity. Thanks to this, they can focus on gearing up for war against the Wean Clan.
In two to three decades, they can raise a new generation with a significantly larger population of Clansmen with Silver Grade strength. With the Empyrean Tusks now able to assume human form, they can head into regions otherwise labelled too dangerous for the Mammoth Clan and hunt for Pranic Beast eggs.
They could selectively target Gold Grade Pranic Beast eggs that were easy to raise and didn't need too much resources.
All Settlement Leaders only had Silver Grade strength. Considering the situation at hand, it was time to seriously focus on nurturing the next generation of Settlement Leaders with Gold Grade strength.
The Empyrean Tusks could remain in human form to conserve resources and only revert to Pranic Beast forms for a few minutes daily to allow the Clansmen part of its Settlement to move around in the biomes.
It wasn't just that. The Empyrean Tusks could also familiarise themselves with their Secondary Nature to accumulate knowledge and experience. This way, they can use it effectively in battle.
With Gannala's Secondary Nature of Weaponisation, they can stockpile a large reserve of Nature Weapons and equip it onto the Mammoth Clansmen. If the influence of these Natures grows too much on them Gannala could unequip the Nature Weapons for a few days until the Mammoth Clansmen return to normalcy.
Moreover, in a decade or two, all the Empyrean Tusks would be brimming with Bone Vipers, possessing a robust internal defence. Even if Brangara injures an Empyrean Tusk, the Bone Vipers would swiftly mend the injury and recover the Empyrean Tusk to full capacity.
Just their existence alone allowed the Empyrean Tusks to remain in their battle states for a significant duration. The Bone Vipers were pretty much battery for the Empyrean Tusks, existing as refined units of Prana for the latter's consumption.
The Mammoth Clan needed time the most to upgrade themselves to a whole other level, going from a Silver Grade Clan to a Gold Grade Clan. For this to happen, they required a few decades of peace where they didn't have to worry about Brangara targeting them.
'If you're planning to use him in the end, why didn't you maintain relations with him?' Orakha thought in disdain, not revealing his thoughts, 'Honestly, this is the issue with them. 'If you're planning to use him in the end, why didn't you They don't consider anyone not a Mammoth Clansman as part of them.'
The sole outsider the Mammoth Clan worked with was Renduldu, and that was only because he was Mahira Tusk's pet, who lived for the Mammoth Clan's benefit even after Mahira Tusk became a Transcendent.
'This isn't the perfect place for her.' Orakha thought as he stared at Maroppa. Honestly, he cared about Inala more than the Mammoth Clan. From an objective standpoint, though it was to satisfy his needs, Inala acted as a matchmaker for Orakha.
Whatever he did pushed Maroppa ever closer to Orakha. Since Orakha liked Maroppa, he was indeed happy about it, since he desired to have a loving family, which he didn't have on Earth.
But the current state of matters might interfere with his family, just as it did on Earth. The Mammoth Clan wanted to control Maroppa, ensuring she gave birth to a Mammoth Clansman. She indeed had the capability to do so, which was why the Mammoth Clan brought her with them.
Once Maroppa births Orakha's child, the Mammoth Clan will raise the child as a soldier against Brangara. Orakha knew this, but couldn't break free from the Mammoth Clan because of one reason—it was safer with the Mammoth Clan than living out on their own.
Maroppa was only capable of birthing one child with Orakha. All the other children she births would be Mudroppers. The problem was with living on their own. If their identity gets revealed, Brangara would target them, since a Mudropper's power was incredibly valuable.
The Mudropper race had no choice but to live in hiding for the time being, at least until Brangara was killed. Moreover, there was no guarantee that Gannala wouldn't turn the Mudroppers into Nature Weapons if Maroppa left the Mammoth Clan.
That threat was there. No, Orakha could guarantee Gannala doing that, considering her character. Therefore, he didn't have much of a choice. Whether it was for him or Maroppa, living with the Mammoth Clan was the safest choice.
"I'll make preparations, Chief." Saying so, Orakha killed himself and revived next to Virala, observing that the latter was continuing to consume branches of the Transcendent Eater.
"How did it go?" Virala stared at Orakha, asking while munching nonstop, "If all trees tasted this good, I would happily become a herbivore."
"The Chief wants us to make traps for the Wean Clan." Orakha said, "We'll be doing that until Grehha gets revived. Following his revival, you'll assassinate him while trying to shift the blame on Inala."
"Oh, I love the sound of that," Virala said once he heard the entirety of the plan. While conversing, he subtly nudged Orakha in a certain direction, taking caution to prevent Blola from noticing it.
Orakha slipped a Mystic Eater into the ground as he continued the conversation, relaying Raaha's commands for Blola.
The Mystic Eater tunnelled underground for close eight hundred metres before exiting to see a Spirit Container cluster hanging from a tree branch like a fruit. It consumed the cluster and digested it, gaining the information stored in it.
Soon, it returned through the underground route and touched the soles of Orakha's feet, merging into his body. Soon, a series of data flashed in Orakha's mind, causing him to stare at Virala whole trying his best to maintain a poker face.
But internally, he was shaken.
[Blola can revive anyone he consumes once he reaches the 5-
Life Stage. The Mammoth Clan wants to control Ruvva through this method. And if your child isn't born a Mammoth Clansman, she'll be consumed and revived by Blola for the Mammoth Clan's purpose.]
