Chapter 1097 - 496: Cultivation Breakthrough Again! Harmed Goufu!
"The battle starts in five days?"
Lanling asked, "Why start a war?"
Suo Mo replied, "The Wild Horse Tribe crossed the border while hunting. When Constantine II led his men to drive them away, a conflict broke out, and over a dozen people from the Chimera Tribe died. The chieftain felt his honor was tarnished, so he declared war on the Wild Horse Tribe."
"It’s that simple?" Lanling asked.
Suo Mo said, "Of course not. Both sides have their sights set on the Falling Horse Mountain."
The Wild Horse Tribe is a renowned large tribe in the surrounding area, equipped with powerful cavalry, and located 200 miles from the Chimera Tribe.
The two tribes previously agreed to use the mountain’s summit as the boundary, with the eastern half belonging to the Chimera Tribe and the western half to the Wild Horse Tribe.
Tribes of the Barbaric Wilderness seldom engage in production; most rely on hunting and gathering to survive.
The Chimera Tribe claims an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers, with the Falling Horse Mountain Range accounting for one-fourth of it. This range is rich with wild beasts and provides up to a third of their hunting yields.
Thus, Constantine desires to control the entire Falling Horse Mountain Range.
The Wild Horse Tribe harbors similar ambitions, leading to frequent border-crossing hunts and countless skirmishes.
