King-Chapter 1120 - 169, Near East Beacon Fires_3

According to the mission issued by the Empire, their westward migration this time was in order to recapture the Near East Region.

Without a doubt, it was a thankless task. Without investing the full strength of the nation, and relying solely on the power of the Bimon Tribe to take the Near East Region from the hands of the Alpha Kingdom was merely a "pipe dream."

After much painstaking planning, he had finally eliminated his former competitors and successfully secured the major power within the clan, only to realize the extent of the mess he inherited upon taking over.

The Bimon Tribe had indeed declined, yet the people below still carried the pride of the Bimon Tribe.

This brand, seared into their very bones throughout the first part of their lives, could never be changed with just a few words.

And so, Alex died!

It had nothing to do with his personal abilities, nor with whether he did well or poorly, but simply because he could not fulfill the illusory "strong tribe dream" of his people, and so this unfortunate clan leader was done for.

It was death, an end, and also a release!

Butzwieg, who took on the heavy burden next, was very clear that he too could hardly guarantee to do better than Alex. If he was unable to fulfill the strong tribe dream held in the people’s minds any time soon, then the next one to be doomed could very well be himself.

However, Bimon weren’t created in a day. The number of clan members determined the upper limit of their strength; to become strong, they first needed a substantial base number of Bimon.

Now was not the time to seek achievements on the battlefield, as that would simply hasten their decline.

Unfortunately, only a few recognized this, and many Bimon still clung to the old notion of "Bimon Cavalry’s invincibility," believing that initiating a war would allow them to sweep victories in all directions.

If a battle was lost, it was always attributed to the incompetence of the higher-ups, never to the Bimon Soldiers’ inability to fight.

"Have we confirmed Hudson’s whereabouts?"

Butzwieg asked with concern.

Taking advantage of the Alpha Kingdom being preoccupied with internal human affairs, he also wanted to stir up some minor actions to give his people a glimmer of hope.

With limited resources at hand, he had to be clear about the situation he was about to face if he wanted to take military action.

The best choice, naturally, was to catch the enemy by surprise during Hudson’s absence and launch a sudden military action.

He didn’t aspire to glorious military achievements; taking some things back by chance to soothe the restless hearts of his people and filling the clan’s coffers would suffice.

Consolidating power, after all, is best achieved by leading everyone to victory. It needn’t be grand, but victory was essential and could not come with significant losses.

"Clan Leader, the situation is a bit tricky. According to merchants who’ve passed by, Hudson was seen in New Moon Port just two days ago.

The internal conflicts among the human race seem not to have affected him. Altogether, he was away from the Snow Moon Territory for only about two days.

As a Dragon Knight, his mobility is extremely fast. He can travel to and from the Capital in a day. Trying to make a move during his absence seems difficult!"

Clark explained with a look of difficulty.

No matter how good a strategy is, it requires strength to support it. The Orc Empire was suffering a discontinuity in its legacy and severely lacked Peak Strong.

The Sanctuary Powerhouses within the Bimon clan who had the most hope for breakthrough have now almost withered away, and the new generation of strong individuals lacks sufficient personal accumulation.

To plan against Hudson, there needed to be several Sanctuary Powerhouses involved to stand a chance of success.

Right now, even sending out all of the Bimon’s top fighters to set an ambush would not be enough to capture him.

"That’s exactly it! Cancel all previous plans, instruct our people to take detours, avoid the enemy’s blade, and symbolically invade some remote areas—that will suffice!

Order all units not to engage the enemy in decisive battle, especially upon seeing the Dragon Bear Battle Flag—they must withdraw immediately,"

Butzwieg stated calmly.

If he couldn’t boost morale, then the next best thing was to make some noise and account for it domestically.

As for Hudson, that tough nut to crack, it was up to others who wanted to chew on it; he certainly wasn’t inclined to stir up a major conflict right now.
