Chapter 197 Late night conversation
Late at night, with a few sparse stars hanging in the sky, a dark shadow flashed into the tent of the prisoner-of-war camp.
The prisoners were sleeping in the iron cage next to them. The spider soldiers were tired after a day's work and didn't want to bring all the prisoners into the tent, but because of the purple night moth's insistence, they finally moved the iron cages holding the prisoners into the tent with great effort.
Because of the journey during the day, every soldier was sleeping soundly. The black shadow came to the side of the purple dragon beast and shook him several times.
Purple Dragonmon became impatient with the shaking and turned over to continue sleeping.
The black shadow was so angry that he hit him hard, causing the purple dragon beast to open his eyes immediately in pain. But when he was about to scream, his voice was covered.
The black shadow pointed at the sleeping soldiers around him, then pointed outside the door. Zilongmon understood, quietly got out of bed and followed him out.
Po Tianbing in the iron cage opened his eyes slightly and then closed them again.
The two walked out of the camp and found a secluded place before stopping.
The wind was not strong at night, but the temperature was very low. Zilongmon shook his head and woke up for a while, then looked at the black shadow beside him: "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"
The black shadow seemed to be trembling all over as if it was blown by the cold wind. He took a deep breath and asked, "What exactly are your plans? Tomorrow we will meet up with the leader's troops and will soon fight the dragon tribe. What exactly is your plan? You must tell me."
"You stayed up all night just because of this?" Zilong Beast said dissatisfiedly, "I said you are at least a general. I am not worried about you at all."
Then he pointed at the Black Spider and said, "You disturbed my sweet dreams. You knew that the war was about to start and yet you still didn't let me sleep well. I want to condemn you from the moral high ground."
The Black Spider was furious at the Purple Dragon Beast's attitude of turning the tables. If I wasn't afraid that you would cheat us, would I have gotten out of bed and frozen in the middle of the night?
"Tell me the truth, is that Desert Imperial City a trap?"
Seeing that the Black Phantom Spider was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, Zilongmon immediately answered seriously: "That's not the case. Our main force is really there. Believe me."
The Black Phantom Spider looked at the Purple Dragon Beast suspiciously, and suddenly thought of something: "Are you planning to join forces with the Moth Tribe?"
Purple Dragonmon spread his hands: "I would like to, but unfortunately Moth Flight doesn't have the courage."
"So what exactly do you want to do? I don't believe you will really let the dragon clan be destroyed, or you will become an accomplice."
Purple Dragon Beast sighed and said, "I just want the leader to find what he wants, maybe he will stop targeting the dragons in the future."
The Black Ghost Spider was quick-witted and quickly pinched the tip of his tail: "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."
“Hiss—let go!” The Purple Dragon Beast quickly snatched back its tail in pain, exhaled a few times, and saw that the Black Ghost Spider was still trying to attack, so it quickly said, “Okay, okay, I’ll give him something he wants. If he’s lucky, he might die by then, and he won’t be a threat to our dragon clan anymore.”
The Black Spider was a little flustered: "If you do this, what will happen to us Zerg? We Spiders——"
The Purple Dragon Beast took a few steps back, stood at a safe distance, and retorted disdainfully: "Okay, if the leader is really dead, the Poison King Spider will be overjoyed."
The Black Phantom Spider was puzzled: "The leader of our Zerg tribe is dead, how can the tribe leader be happy?"
"You don't think that the four leaders of your Zerg tribe will remain loyal to him just because they respected him as their leader."
"What do you mean?" The Black Spider thought of the attribute liquid before and had a bad guess.
"General, why are you so naive? No wonder the Poison King Spider values the Red Gold Spider." Purple Dragon Beast sighed, and then said: "Why don't you guess why Saint Ancient Armor brought both generals with him and didn't leave any one behind in the Myriad Insects City?"
"Isn't it because the Beetle Tribe is powerful and loyal to their leader?"
"Being strong doesn't mean there won't be internal chaos. Aren't you afraid that if you go out to fight a war, you won't even have your own position when you return home?"
The Purple Dragon Beast murmured, "Your Zerg Clan has simpler internal relations than the Ant Clan. To be honest, the old Ant Clan leader was really ruthless. He directly eliminated all the forces that threatened the next Clan leader."
Seeing the murderous look in the Black Phantom Spider's eyes, Purple Dragon Beast immediately got back to the point: "Ahem, I've strayed off topic. There are several forces within the Beetle Tribe, but the Holy Ancient Armor can suppress them. If no one is watching, chaos will break out sooner or later."
"This time, Saint Ancient Armor used this as an excuse to gather the leaders of those forces, and spared no effort to go on the expedition together. He promised to redistribute resources according to merit, and brought two generals with him to show his sincerity. Can you guess why?"
The Black Ghost Spider suddenly realized: "Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of them?"
"That's right, but the purpose is not just this. Before leaving for the expedition, Saint Ancient Armor held a small meeting with the leaders of the three tribes. The three tribes promised not to take any action against the Beetle Tribe during this period, so they felt relieved to bring everyone with them."
The Black Ghost Spider was shocked: "Is it to deal with the leader?!"
"Yes, it is to deal with the leader. For Saint Gu Jia, if the leader cannot be killed, it is worth it for those people to die."
"how come?!"
"The chief is not from any of the four tribes. The tribe leaders only made a deal with him. Even if they don't deal with him now, if things continue like this, who will be the next chief? Will the chief designate someone, or will the chief develop his own power?"
"None of the four clan leaders are good people. How could they let others have a share so easily?" The purple dragon beast shook his head and continued, "If the leader wasn't so strong, your clan leaders would have gotten rid of him long ago."
"How could this happen..." The Black Spider murmured in disbelief.
Purple Dragon Beast bravely moved over and gently patted his shoulder: "After all, it's an exchange of interests. Don't be so sad."
The Black Ghost Spider rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm just worried that the attribute liquid the leader gave me before might be used to control us generals. If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make an antidote."
"What if we become cannon fodder?"
Purple Dragonmon withdrew his hand awkwardly, thinking that he was as innocent as Black Wolfmon. It seemed that he had thought too much. As expected, none of the Spider Tribe were good people.
"However," the Black Phantom Spider looked up at him, with suspicion in his eyes: "How do you know so much about the Zerg?"
The key point is that I don’t even know these things, which is really annoying.
"Well, I've been lurking for so long, so I asked around." Zilongmon glanced around and changed the subject guiltily: "By the way, why are you shaking all the time? It's like you have Parkinson's disease."
