Chapter 748: Two Teams

Su Bai looked at the list he had kept from before. The list contained names of various other Tribes.

These Tribes were all subordinates of the Dark Scorpion Tribe, more than ten in total, large and small.

However, there weren’t many Tribes whose locations and names they knew, probably only four or five.

This was the real predicament Flame Dragon Tribe faced. They had undoubtedly become a target for all.

In other words, the enemy was in the shadows while they were in the light. This single point alone was rather troublesome.

If they really had to deal with them, it would be quite difficult. For Tribes whose names and locations they knew, they could still devise countermeasures.

For those Tribes whose names and locations they did not know, things were terrible. If it were one-on-one, they would not be afraid.

What worried them most was if all these Tribes united. That would pose a significant threat to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

"Shaman, have you finished making the arrangements?" Yan Hua kept blinking her red eyes.

Yan Hua had been waiting quietly at the side. For this mission, she was eager to participate.

"The arrangements are more or less complete, though there are still some things to consider." Su Bai said softly.

The girls had not disturbed him all afternoon. His main task had been arranging the personnel to go eliminate the Tribes.

This was no easy matter. Besides arranging capable personnel to go out, they definitely needed to keep people stationed at the Tribe.

Otherwise, if all the powerful Warriors were dispatched, who would remain to protect those left in the Tribe?

The two people who had appeared in the forest were definitely not there by chance. It was very likely a deliberate diversion tactic arranged by other Tribes.

Therefore, Su Bai had to consider both the capabilities of the Warriors going out to eliminate Tribes, while also considering whether the Warriors remaining behind could shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Tribe.

Any error on either side would be fatal. If the warriors dispatched to eliminate other Tribes weren’t strong enough, all that awaited those warriors would be death.

This would result in tremendous losses for the Tribe, and those Tribes would seize the opportunity to launch attacks on Flame Dragon Tribe.

Furthermore, if the Warriors remaining behind were not capable of protecting the entire Tribe, the Tribe would likewise be invaded by others.

Even if the dispatched Warriors succeeded, when they returned to the Tribe, the Tribe would no longer exist.

This was what gave him the biggest headache. The personnel arrangements had to be made carefully.

"Ah Hua, don’t rush the Shaman. This isn’t an easy matter." Sha Lan tugged at Yan Hua’s arm.

Yan Hua immediately lowered her head, saying softly, "Shaman, I didn’t mean it. It’s just… I’m just too nervous."

Yan Hua also realised her constant prodding was wrong, though it was indeed true that she desperately wanted to execute this mission immediately.

"It’s fine. Once I’ve finished the arrangements, I’ll definitely tell you." Su Bai smiled and waved his hand.

He could understand Yan Hua’s feelings, so he didn’t mind her prodding at all.

"Shaman, how many people are we dispatching this time?" Yan Hua felt relieved.

However, it was indeed her fault. The gap between her status and the Shaman’s was vast.

One was the Flame Dragon Tribe’s esteemed Shaman, while the other was merely a Totem Warrior of the Flame Dragon Tribe.

Totem Warriors naturally held relatively high positions within the Tribe, but compared to the Shaman, they were still lower.

"I plan to dispatch two teams this time to separately eliminate different Tribes. The remaining people will stay behind to protect the Tribe." Su Bai arranged.

There were indeed many Tribe names on the list, but they couldn’t send one team per Tribe.

That would require dispatching too many teams, leaving too few people stationed at the Tribe.

"Shaman, only two teams in total? But aren’t there many Tribes?" Sha Lan asked curiously.

Sha Lan couldn’t help but be curious, having watched the Shaman writing all afternoon.

"Two teams is already quite a lot. Our focus still needs to remain within the Tribe, so we can’t dispatch too many people at once."

Su Bai blinked his black eyes and continued, "I’m worried this might also be a conspiracy by other Tribes."

"A conspiracy by other Tribes? They said last time they would target us. I think they should be coming to attack our Tribe, right, Shaman?" Sha Lan guessed.

"Yes, that’s precisely what I’m worried about. If their target is our Tribe, then the people we dispatch won’t serve much purpose." Su Bai nodded.

"Shaman, if that’s the case, then we shouldn’t send people out. Wouldn’t that be safer?" Yan Hua asked, tilting her head.

"Ha ha ha…" Su Bai laughed heartily and continued, "But what if this is just our speculation? Wouldn’t that waste an opportunity to defeat them one by one?"

"You’re right. We can’t just casually let those Tribes continue running rampant." Yan Hua nodded repeatedly.

Su Bai took a sip of water and continued, "So I need to arrange some personnel to go out. I think I’ve already identified the suitable candidates."

After weighing the pros and cons, he had selected the two most suitable teams, firmly believing these two teams would definitely bring back good news.

"Shaman, who are you planning to send?" Yan Hua asked curiously, her heart beginning to hope her name would be included.

"The first team will be led by Ye Jiu, taking you, Sha Lan, Ai’er, Mai Mang, and Bai Si."

Su Bai paused, then continued, "The second team will be led by Cang Shi, taking Cheng Shi, Qing Mu, Chi Tu, Lin, and Hei Ya."

These two teams’ personnel were the most suitable candidates he could think of, having considered all aspects.

He had to account for reconnaissance capabilities, as well as strength and intelligence. All three aspects had to be satisfied for a team to be considered qualified.

"Yay, I’m included!" Yan Hua said happily.

She did not care how many people were going or who they were. As long as she could go, that was the best outcome.

"Shaman, each team only has six people? Isn’t that too few?" Sha Lan asked with concern.

Sha Lan felt the manpower was somewhat insufficient. After all, they were dealing with entire Tribes.

"This time, I require you to use strategy, not direct confrontation with the Tribes." Su Bai instructed.

"Strategy? Shaman, should we bring appropriate weapons for this?" Yan Hua asked.

"Yes. These Tribes don’t need to be spared. Just raze them to the ground." Su Bai nodded.

He had originally wanted to incorporate these Tribes into his own, but the distance was too far, to say nothing of other factors.

The Tribe also could not spare more people to go to other Tribes. Leaving them would only make them targets for other Tribes to manipulate.
