C23 Unifying the Catman Clan
The civet clan, confident in their superior strength, had always treated the gray and black cat clans poorly. But now, witnessing the once invincible civet clan in such disarray, the warriors of the black and gray cat clans, who had previously fled, roared back into the fray, cutting off the civet clan's escape.
United, the warriors of the three clans swiftly eradicated the remaining members of the civet clan. The victory was decisive, and remarkably, not a single member of the civet clan perished in battle, with only a handful sustaining injuries—a negligible loss.
Such an overwhelming victory, with so few casualties, was previously unimaginable to the civet clan. Yet, with Lin Mo's guidance and assistance, they had achieved it with ease. Observing from a distance, Lin Mo was immensely pleased with the outcome.
The civet clan had shed its former timidity and fear. And Qingyou, in her role as the Saintess, had earned Lin Mo's profound respect. Most girls her age were sheltered, untested in battle or even in strenuous labor. Yet Qingyou had not only led an army of hundreds but had also seized the perfect moment to strike.
Her surprise attack on the unsuspecting civet clan leader had been pivotal to the battle's success. Her resolute spirit and commanding presence were exceptional, especially considering this was her first military campaign. Lin Mo was quietly grateful for having saved such a promising young talent.
Lillian, too, had proven herself remarkable. On the battlefield, this Feather Race girl was a born sovereign. Her spear, descending from the heavens, had timely ended the life of the civet clan's young patriarch, crushing their last vestiges of hope and courage.
While Qingyou excelled in strategy and leadership, Lillian was an undeniable prodigy in the heat of battle. Together, one overseeing logistics and command, the other leading the charge, they were an unstoppable force.
Lin Mo felt certain that with these two formidable young women at his side, expanding his influence and gathering followers would be almost effortless.
Due to their formidable prowess demonstrated on the battlefield, the warriors from both the gray and black cat tribes were thoroughly impressed and willingly submitted to Qingyou's command.
Having fully integrated the forces of the three tribes, Qingyou didn't pause for a moment. Seizing the moment when morale was at its peak, he launched a swift assault on the Leopard Clan's headquarters.
The stronghold was a sizable mountain fortress, encircled by wooden walls. As Qingyou and his troops arrived in force at the gates, the dozens of soldiers left to guard were utterly taken aback.
A handful of remaining Leopard warriors attempted to put up a fight, but their resolve crumbled after Qingyou set the fortress gate ablaze.
The Leopard Clan's main contingent had already been decimated in an earlier conflict, leaving these few dozen soldiers with little chance to affect the outcome. Qingyou, showing a measure of restraint, chose not to pursue a total annihilation.
The gray and black cat tribes had always maintained a decent relationship with the Spirit Cat Clan, and they now followed Qingyou with joy.
With this, Qingyou had achieved the complete unification of the Cat-man Clan in the span of a single day.
