Chapter 1233: Chapter 1220: The Beginning of the Catastrophe Chapter 1233: Chapter 1220: The Beginning of the Catastrophe “The reason is simple, because our Tribe is faced with a threat powerful enough to affect our survival. Therefore, to ensure the continuity of our Tribe, we need to migrate to a safer place.”

“A threat that affects the survival of our Tribe?” Nordan’s face showed surprise, “Are you referring to those little men who use various steel creations? Those guys can affect the survival of our Tribe?”

“Yes, with just one conflict, we have already lost two of our kind and twenty-seven have been injured. Our Tribe can’t sustain that kind of loss many times over.”

“But even so, there’s no need to migrate!” Nordan showed his confusion. Such casualties were common during the Tribe’s large-scale Hunting, yet he couldn’t understand why the Tribe Elder would decide to move the entire Tribe because of these losses.

“There are too many of those little men. The total number of our Tribe members doesn’t even exceed a thousand, but those little men can easily organize an attack with more than ten thousand participants. They are simply too numerous; we can’t afford to drag this out with them.”

“Too many, yet unable to withstand them?” Upon hearing the reason for the migration, Nordan felt he couldn’t accept it.

If it was because the Enemies were powerful that they were retreating, he could understand. But to withdraw because the opponent was numerous and weak was against his beliefs.

“Yes, those little men have many steel creations with great lethality, and every time they can easily send out thousands upon thousands to battle.

Even if they all died, they could quickly organize a second, a third onslaught. But we simply cannot afford the outcome where more than two of our people die in each battle.”

“Tribe Elder, I am not opposing your opinion, I trust your wisdom, but I want to witness these little men’s attacks with my own eyes. I don’t believe that when they suffer enough casualties, they will still be able to maintain their hostility towards us.”

After a conversation with Tribe’s Elder, the young giant, who had already harbored a killing intent, made up his own mind.

“Nordan, their numbers are truly overwhelming.”

“It doesn’t matter how many there are. They are also Intelligent Creatures; once the casualties reach a certain number, they will surely fear our power.”

The giant, who never knew the meaning of retreat, spoke with immense Pride. He firmly believed his current power was enough to protect the Tribe through this crisis.

“Forget it, it seems I can hardly persuade you to follow the Tribe’s migration with words alone. Let Huishi take you to the area occupied by the little men; there, you will feel the special nature of those weak creatures. But remember, do not act recklessly.”

“Understood!”

Hearing the Elder’s instructions, Nordan’s eyes immediately showed excitement. He yearned to battle the mighty, and although his Enemies this time were a group of little men controlling special creations, they could also be regarded as another form of mighty opponent.

…

“Nordan, that over there is the territory of those little men. Be careful, and keep your distance. Although their strength is weak, the odd and ancient things they’ve created can strike from very long distances, and it’s really painful if you get hit.”

On a hill that, to a giant, seemed only slightly tall, a grey-skinned giant lay on the ground, introducing the terrain to the pale giant squatting beside him.

In the not-so-distant prairie, one could see all sorts of huge and odd steel creations. These steel creations roared, their gears turned with a screeching whine, and white-hot steam sprayed out from large and small pipes, creating a persistent layer of Dark Clouds in the sky above the prairie, even blocking out the sun.

“Wasn’t this prairie once our Tribe’s Hunting ground?” As he looked at the plain that had completely changed from the old scenery he remembered, a flame called Anger burned in Nordan’s heart.

“But now it has been occupied by those little men, and it no longer belongs to us,” said the grey-skinned giant, his body showing faint, terrible scars, a bit helplessly.

When the Tribe’s Hunting grounds were invaded by alien Enemies, they, the main Hunting force of the Tribe, hadn’t failed to try to take them back, but each attack ended in failure, causing some companions to fall.

“Who says it doesn’t belong to us? This prairie was ours before and it still is.”

The pale giant stood up on the hill, no longer concealing himself, “Now let’s take back what belongs to our Tribe.”

“Nordan, chief, haven’t I told you not to be impulsive?” The giant Huishi, with half his body sprawled among the sparse vegetation, became anxious upon witnessing the actions of his kindred with the highest Talent, “Get down quickly, or those little ones will spot you.”

“I am not being impulsive. This time, I carefully observed my opponents before preparing to strike,” Nordan responded, turning to smile at his same kind.

“Moreover, it’s already too late for me to lie down now; those little ones have discovered me, and the attack is already on its way.”

As the words of the pale giant just fell, a dense and tingling sound of heavy objects falling echoed in the Sky, with countless spherical objects hurled by specially-designed launchers, forming a swarm in the sky like Dark Clouds of locusts, bombarding the hillside where Nordan was located.

“Nordan, be careful, those are flesh-cutting balls. Don’t let them touch your body.” Huishi looked up at the Sky and, due to his prior experiences in several battles with the little ones, instantly recognized what those treacherous little ones had launched.

They were metal spheres embedded with curved blades. Such special munitions would cause limbs to sever and blood to spray everywhere if they landed in a densely populated area with living creatures. But these munitions were also quite lethal when used against large individual creatures.

However, Nordan, who had been warned by his kindred, didn’t seem to care. His fighting instinct, honed from the time he could walk, told him that such attacks were ineffective against him.

Therefore, he clenched his fist and swung it, smashing the special munitions that were densely bombarding him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Not far away, the little ones watched in stunned silence as the pale giant swung his fists, knocking the blade-embedded special munitions away one after another.

Such powerful strength and physique left the onlooking little ones dumbfounded.

“Tsk, the Monsters from the Different World are terrifying; they can easily deflect even these battlefield harvesters.”

“How much more must we sacrifice to conquer the Different World?”

“Whatever the cost, it’s worth it. Besides, the population within the Kingdom has already swollen excessively; this is a good opportunity to reduce it through war. Regardless of victory or defeat, we won’t suffer a loss.”

“The Kingdom lacks everything. The only thing it doesn’t lack is people; stop wasting resources on war, and let the armored legion take over! Ordinary attacks probably won’t have much effect on it.”

A quarter of an hour later
“Damn, what kind of Monster is this? Retreat, retreat quickly, no one here is a match for it; we must have the Kingdom dispatch stronger Weapons.”

“It’s utterly unexpected that our Forward Base, established less than three days ago, is now facing the crisis of complete annihilation.”

“I wonder if this time the major incident will cause the big figures above to hesitate in proceeding with the exploitation of the Different World.”

“No, the resources within the Kingdom’s territory have already been depleted. Even if those big figures don’t push for it, the populace will compel them to explore and develop the Different World.”

“Since there will be a second exploration, then we must ensure some of us survive to bring back the data from here.”

…
“If this is the extent of their capabilities, to think they can make my Tribe relocate, the chief has indeed overthought it.”

Flames spread across the earth, leaving twisted steel ruins wherever they went. A pale giant, wearing a disdainful sneer, turned his head back to his admiring kindred,
“Go back and tell the chief, there’s no need for the Tribe to relocate!”

“Yes.”
