"Of course, my tribesmen will stand alongside your tribesmen in battle. I mean when we can't win."
"When we leave, you can take your tribe's fire seed."
Originally thinking there'd be a bit of back-and-forth, the ease with which the Cyan Simurgh agreed exceeded Shen Can's expectations.
Communicating with beasts is more straightforward; dealing with humans is exhausting.
"Your tribesmen cannot force my tribesmen to be mounts. They need the consent of my tribesmen to form a battle partnership."
"No problem."
Shen Can nodded. The Blazing Flame Tribe and its people number in the hundreds of thousands, even if each person took a single feather, there wouldn't be enough from this Cyan Bird Race.
The Cyan Bird leader seemed to set a few conditions, but to Shen Can, it amounted to nothing.
If the tribe were truly destroyed, losing a few more Auspicious Beasts would be meaningless. Being able to escape with part of the tribe would be best.
"Then what conditions do you have?"
