CHAPTER 291: Secret News
Ibel looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mr. Zhao Hai, you can't be joking, right? You are really Wells's blood oath brother?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, so I need to know the situation with the Bullfighting Tribe to plan for Wells's counterattack."
Ibel suddenly stood up, spun around on the ground a couple of times, and murmured, "This is great! It must be destiny, truly the will of the gods."
Zhao Hai and the others looked at the excited Ibel in confusion, not understanding what he was so thrilled about. After a while, Ibel calmed down, turned to look at Zhao Hai and the others' puzzled expressions, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Mr. Zhao Hai, you are indeed a blessing, a great blessing for our dark mage alliance."
This made Zhao Hai even more baffled. He looked at Ibel and asked, "What exactly is going on, Mr. Ibel? Shouldn't you clarify this for me?"
Ibel smiled slightly at Zhao Hai's expression, sat down, took a sip of red wine, sighed, and slowly said, "Mr. Zhao Hai, since you just joined the dark mage alliance not long ago, you still know too little about the matters here. In fact, what happened with the Herculean Bull Tribe this time is precisely a contest between the dark mage alliance and the church of light, a struggle on another level."
Zhao Hai was taken aback, then looked at Ibel and asked, "Are you saying that the experts the Bullfighting Tribe invited were from the church of light?"
Ibel nodded and said, "Correct. That person is indeed from the church of light. In fact, the church of light has long wanted to extend its reach to the Orc Prairie. They have been trying to control those tribes through commercial means, but the orcs have always worshipped their own kind, and their attempts have all failed.
Later, when this matter was discovered by our dark mage alliance, we, of course, wanted to sabotage their plans. If the church of light extended its reach into the orc tribe, our troubles would only grow. So we have been monitoring their movements among the orc tribes. Eventually, the church of light discovered the conflict between the Bullfighting Tribe and the Herculean Bull Tribe, and they found ways to approach the Bullfighting Tribe. We tried to intervene several times but failed. Finally, they succeeded in forming a connection with the clan leader of the Bullfighting Tribe. We also wanted to form a connection with the clan leader of the Herculean Bull Tribe, but he is the most traditional of orcs, unwilling to accept help from humans, so we were unsuccessful."
At this point, he glanced at Zhao Hai and continued, "You already know what happened next. They actually sent a ninth-level expert to help the Bullfighting Tribe, allowing them to drive the Herculean Bull Tribe away and establish themselves as the royalty among the tauren. You could say that their first step into the prairie has been a success, while we have achieved nothing. Now that you have become Wells's blood oath brother, you can boldly assist him, and standing behind you is the dark mage alliance. Even if the church of light sends a ninth-level expert, we need not fear, as the alliance will dispatch a ninth-level expert to assist you."
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He had not expected the conflict between the dark mage alliance and the church of light to escalate to this extent. However, he shook his head and said, "No, it’s best if the alliance does not get involved. You must understand that the orcs have been able to stand toe to toe with the human race for so many years; they are not simple characters. The tauren are only considered a medium tribe among the orc tribes and are not particularly remarkable. The Great War Tribe may not care, but if the other Great War Tribes find out that humans want to control the orcs, any organization will have to bear the wrath of the orcs. It could easily lead to war. The involvement of our dark mage alliance would bring no benefits, and I was planning to use this information to deal with the church of light, so the dark mage alliance absolutely cannot participate."
