Chapter 509
by fanqienovelChapter 509: Visiting One by One
“With the current strength of the Nika tribe, unifying the entire Tianling Star Cluster is just a pipe dream.”
Bone Spike Chief intentionally downplayed their own side, “But regardless, the hope is certainly greater than with other races. We can see this from our ability to conquer the Spirit Heart Tribe in such a short time. There shouldn’t be any race in the entire Tianling Star Cluster capable of doing this.”
Chief Manote couldn’t help but nod.
Because it was indeed true.
The Tianling Star Cluster had been ruled by the Undying Race for over a million years. Whenever a strong race appeared, they would certainly face harsh suppression.
This led to the major races in the Tianling Star Cluster being unable to give rise to any powerful races.
It wasn’t until several thousand years ago that the major races regained control over the Tianling Star Cluster, which began to see the emergence of some powerful races.
But still, only a few thousand years had passed. Even though some races rose quickly, they were not able to force the Spirit Heart Tribe to surrender without a fight in such a short time.
The Nika tribe was the only exception.
Moreover, the Nika tribe was only ruling and controlling the resources of one life planet.
Their potential for development was absolutely astonishing.
Whether the Nika tribe could withstand the suppression of the Undying Race or even defeat their army to unify the entire Tianling Star Cluster was still unknown.
But at this moment, the Black Tiger Tribe was undoubtedly the race most capable of achieving this.
Chief Manote felt somewhat tempted.
If they could truly unify the entire Tianling Star Cluster, then his status as a high-ranking leader of the Black Tiger Tribe was easy to imagine.
“What if I refuse to merge with the Nika tribe?”
Chief Manote coldly questioned.
Bone Spike Chief secretly let out a sigh of relief; asking that question basically meant they had already succeeded halfway.
Victory was in sight.
He smiled and straightforwardly replied, “No one can stop the Nika tribe from uniting the Black Tiger Tribe. Those who resist can only be eliminated as quickly as possible!”
“If the chief refuses, we will strike with thunderous force to break your defensive barriers and kill you. Afterwards, we will propose the same terms to Tayno. If he agrees, we will support him in becoming the chief of the Manote tribe, led by Chief Tayno to fulfill our agreement.”
Chief Manote’s face instantly darkened to the extreme.
He felt he shouldn’t have asked that question for the sake of pride.
The other side was clearly well-prepared.
They even knew his conflict with Tayno thoroughly.
“I agree to sign the contract with the Nika tribe…”
After taking a few deep breaths, Chief Manote finally made his decision.
To him, this was already his only choice.
Not surrendering meant a dead end.
Surrendering would mean that although he would be beneath others in the future and far from the powerful position he had now—able to command the lives of millions—it also offered a chance to follow the Nika tribe to unify the entire Tianling Star Cluster, becoming one of the greatest high-ranking leaders of the Black Tiger Tribe, possessing more power, status, and resources than he currently had.
Take a chance, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle.
If you don’t take the chance, it’s certain death.
“A wise decision!”
Bone Spike Chief praised.
In his heart, he felt like a deceiver who had become the deceived.
Because once the Black Tiger Tribe unites all the life planets they control and Chief Manote leads the strong fighters on missions for the Great Flame Empire, he will inevitably discover that the so-called Nika tribe is merely a vassal race of the Great Flame Empire.
Even if they unify the entire Tianling Star Cluster, the Black Tiger Tribe will not be the true rulers of the Tianling Star Cluster.
In fact, according to the laws of the Great Flame Empire, the Black Tiger Tribe won’t even have any real territory with governing rights.
At that time, Chief Manote will certainly be furious for being tricked.
In fact, Bone Spike Chief felt the same way at first.
When he learned the truth, he almost fainted from anger.
He even entertained thoughts of rebellion.
It wasn’t until he forcibly pressured the Spirit Heart Tribe into surrendering that he completely changed his mind.
There was no choice; although he lost territory, as long as he had military achievements, the resources and treasures were definitely substantial.
He believed Chief Manote’s future feelings would be quite similar to his own.
Soon, three pre-drafted contracts were placed before Chief Manote.
Without further hesitation, Chief Manote infused his perception ability and blood into them, officially signing all three contracts.
“Congratulations, chief! From today on, we will fight side by side!”
Bone Spike Chief expressed his joy.
Chief Manote merely forced a smile; he had confusedly become subordinate to others, with his life and death now in their hands.
This feeling was far from amusing.
“Next, chief, you can gather all the strong fighters from the tribe!”
Bone Spike Chief informed him.
Chief Manote nodded; since he had already signed the contract, he would naturally act according to the contract’s terms and consolidate the entire tribe first.
He immediately took out a communication stone and ordered all strong fighters to gather and discuss important matters.
When the strong fighters of the Manote tribe arrived, there was no surprise at all.
Their own chief had surrendered.
What else could they do?
Currently, they were only high-ranking leaders of the Manote tribe, not rulers, so it wasn’t as hard for them to accept as it was for Chief Manote.
In fact, many strong fighters secretly coordinated, planning to surrender when the Nika tribe’s army advanced, so they could achieve a feat.
Upon learning the truth, nearly everyone hesitated not at all and chose to follow Chief Manote’s lead to become members of the Nika tribe.
Afterward, an announcement was made to all tribe members.
As soon as the news spread, the entire Manote tribe not only did not cause any turmoil but erupted into astonishing cheers.
In total, it took only four to five hours for the Manote tribe to completely surrender to the Nika tribe.
Such smoothness stemmed primarily from the fact that both Chief Manote and the strong fighters and ordinary tribe members viewed this simply as an internal struggle.
The Black Tiger Tribe had already suffered enough from being disorganized; the vast majority of tribe members hoped for a powerful figure to unify the entire Black Tiger Tribe.
In this situation, there was naturally no opposing force.
The strong fighters of the Manote tribe began to head towards smaller and medium-sized tribes within their influence, presenting them with a choice in the name of the Nika tribe.
They could either surrender and merge with the Manote tribe into the Nika tribe, accepting the Nika tribe’s consolidation, or wait to be destroyed.
The team of strong fighters all entered their flying treasures.
This time, however, they brought along Chief Manote, a level 120 strong fighter, as a spokesperson.
They quietly infiltrated the cultivation area of the next large tribe chief and suddenly appeared.
The results were also without any surprises.
The second large tribe chief found it easier to agree, thanks to the example of Chief Manote.
The third, fourth, fifth…
The flying treasures continually traveled to each large tribe, persuading the tribe chiefs to surrender to the Nika tribe.
The teams on the other two life planets also made similarly smooth progress.
