Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2214 - 678: Final Battle Countdown [4]_3

"Do you think you’re the only one competent? Do you think Caiyu City was made of mud?" Chief Deseli was somewhat dissatisfied with the condescension in Old Liu’s words: "Mourinho has long transferred the elderly, women, and children to London City within the Sunset Swamp. Now, all remaining in the city are robust warriors, and the buildings have been fortified to an incredible level! King Sal also supported him with numerous defensive devices. If I were Mourinho, just for what you said, I would definitely stay behind to prove a point to you!"

"How many warriors does Caiyu City have now?"

"Five thousand Ostrit Ostrich Warriors, five thousand Crocodile Turtle Warriors, five thousand Bullfrog Warriors, two thousand Medusa Warriors, and three hundred Smey Warriors, plus five hundred Moon Elf Archers and two thousand Prairie Elf Archers allocated by King Beamon—this is the regular army! Besides that, there’s Lord Mihai Schofield leading the ’Beast Companion Company’, and then there are the Eagle-Bull people, River Immortals, Gray Dwarves who surrendered to Mourinho after the last battle of Oil Hill, and a large number of Druids, Satutevis Centaur Archers, dual-wielding Setes, Barbarians, Swamp Dwarves, Frost Giants, Sky Giants, Human Wizards, Teutonic Soldiers, Jungle Walkers, and Tuskal people skilled in bear training!" Chief Deseli continued without a pause: "Don’t go saying things like they’re inferior to you! I admit, maybe the mage and priest forces under Mourinho aren’t as strong as yours, but he is definitely no ordinary figure! I won’t even mention experts like Treizegar, Horielle, and the old Duke Bruckner, but under Mourinho, there’s an elven Blade Shooter with a Jingwei Phoenix mount, and a Tuskal hero with a giant beast of the snowy plains! His wife, Mari’s mother, the Moon Elf Queen Liv, is also a very powerful priestess, possessing a ’Moon White Tiger’ bred for five generations and two Forbidden Curse Scrolls! Oh, and your brother-in-law and sister-in-law, they’re no pushovers either?"

"Forbidden Curse Scrolls? What use are they! The time spent summoning a forbidden curse is like being a bug waiting to be squashed in broad daylight; have you ever seen an expert dare to boldly summon a forbidden curse in public?"

"I knew you would say that!" The Giant Chief decided to ignore Old Liu: "I’m telling you, Richard, you really underestimate people!"

"It’s not that I look down on them, I admit Caiyu City’s strength is indeed decent, but it’s just decent at best; this level of strength isn’t qualified to contend with the Demon Clan."

"Do you know how many priests Caiyu City has?" Chief Deseli amusingly gazed at Old Liu. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I’m not so foolish as to be bad with numbers. Originally, there was a southwestern temple, Mourinho still had some priest foundation, but ever since he formed the Bode Alliance, the Sabak Main Temple recalled all the priests. Now what he has are Medusa priests, Ostrit priests, and Smey priests—the full force of those three groups, plus a Fox Tribe priest, Mihai Schofield, who fled to Caiyu City to seek asylum from the Religious Tribunal. Altogether it’s 127 people! Oh, it should add the old Duke, 128 people!" Liu Zhennan scoffed: "Now that the Gortani sisters, Fei Wenli, and Gomes have come to Florence, I can’t possibly send them back, which means deducting four pastors! Hmm...don’t you try to scare me; a mere 124 priests can contend with the Demon Clan’s army?"

"Heh heh, Caiyu City now has thirty-four High priests possessing sacrificial pets, including Mourinho himself, that’s thirty-five!"

"You must be bluffing! How could Caiyu City have so many priests skilled in the obscure language of the ogres? Mourinho and I share the same priestly legacy. If he can speak the ogre language, then logically, I should be able to as well, right? Could it be that he and the priests of Caiyu City only learned the ogre language later on?" Liu Zhennan was utterly skeptical: "Even though Helen has already recorded the six great Spirit Communication War Dances and distributed them, a war dance is a war dance, even if it’s a waltz or a foxtrot, it can’t be mastered in just a year’s time!"

"Everyone says you’re arrogant, and you refuse to admit it!"

"I’m very calm, Chief. It’s your viewpoint that’s too biased. I can swear, I absolutely didn’t intend to belittle the Old Swan; I’m simply being objective." Liu Zhennan wasn’t bothered in the slightest: "To be frank with you, recently I’ve been using ’Parrot Copycat Conch’ to try to summon sacrificial pets, and even had Cambridge priests try as well, but apart from Helen, none succeeded! What is a sacrificial pet? A sacrificial pet is a stand-in for priests to release ’Nebula Chain Lightning’ at the cost of its life! Damn, as long as one’s a Shaman priest, who wouldn’t want a sacrificial pet? I’m very eager to hear your explanation, how Caiyu City has thirty-five priests with sacrificial pets!"

"You and the priests of Florence also tried using ’Parrot Copycat Conch’ to summon sacrificial pets? And only Helen succeeded? Ha ha..." Chief Deseli laughed heartily: "Serves you right! You people, with your wicked thoughts, always thinking of finding a sacrificial pet to die for you in battle, completely ignoring the fundamental ethics between a priest and their battle companion, no wonder you couldn’t summon a sacrificial pet!"

Old Liu also laughed. Indeed, this was the truth; sacrificial pets and priests were a very contradictory combination.

A Shaman priest capable of summoning a sacrificial pet absolutely would not sacrifice the companion at a critical moment to unleash ’Nebula Chain Lightning.’
