Chapter 592 We Need To Team Up
"That's indeed a tricky situation." Raaha frowned upon hearing the information from Orakha. After some thought, he made a decision, "Continue monitoring the situation while setting up a trap for the Wean Clan."
"I can create a lot of pit traps in Varahan Enclave." Orakha suggested, "I can also transport an invasive Pranic Beast race to the place and cripple its ecosystem. When that happens, the Wean Clan would be forced to spend more time, effort, and resources to recover Varahan Enclave back to its prime."
"Until then, they'll be forced to repeatedly enter the mainland for resources, which gives us plenty of chances to target them." Orakha continued, "And if they're unable to fix Varahan Enclave, they'll be forced to relocate to another region on Sumatra. But with his character, Brangara would wish to live in a safer environment for his family, and hence would prefer an Enclave that he could fully take control of."
Enclaves were closed pockets. Typically, only the native races live there, creating a stable environment where nothing too strange happens. After all, the variables were fixed.
It wasn't like Sumatra where all sorts of variables result in infinite chain reactions. If the Wean Clan was established in some location on Sumatra, they'd be forced to combat for resources with their neighbours.
Similar to all Free Human Kingdoms, they'll be spending a good majority of their time, Prana, and resources on fights. The Wean Clansmen would all have the power of an Empyrean Boar. So to satisfy their voracious appetite, they'd have to eat a lot, which would cause a dent on the environment if there were enough of them doing the same.
If the ecosystem was damaged enough, all the Pranic Beasts at Silver Grade and above would band together as a force of opposition, similar to what happened at the Brimgan Empire. They'll try to influence the Iron Grade Pranic Beasts and result in a Minor Crisis for the Wean Clan regularly.
As long as Brangara remains at home, these opposing Pranic Beasts will stay put. But the moment he leaves, they'll unleash their strongest attack to destroy the Wean Clan. Even if their chance of success is minimal, they'll still be able to cause damage to the Wean Clan.
This was a headache. Moreover, the Royal Zinger could use the surrounding races to target the Wean Clan. A simple reveal of a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast's presence would cause all Iron Grade Pranic Beasts to instinctively flee in the opposite direction.
After learning about this from 'Loot' in the Dralh Sea, Brangara used the tactic against the Mammoth Clan. From Brangara's perspective, Amita was at the Dralh Sea. So, she knew about this tactic.
And now, the Royal Zinger could effectively use this tactic against the Wean Clan and send in a swarm of Pranic Beasts. This one move can effectively lock Brangara in his home, forcing him to fight to protect his family from harm.

For however long this invasion continued, Brangara would be confined to the location. This would bode horribly for the Wean Clan, especially once the Royal Zinger starts to chuck boulders at them.
Hence, the best choice for the Wean Clan was to form a base in an enclave where they were free from such tactics. And Varahan Enclave was the best place for that, since it was the birthplace of the Empyrean Boar Race.
"Do you have the means to make it as if the one targeting them is the Royal Zinger?" Raaha asked Orakha, "We have plenty of Clansmen with the power of a Zinger. It is easy to create evidence pointing to the Royal Zinger."
"We're using the stuff Inala gave us to make him the culprit?" Orakha expressed his worry, "Won't we be making an enemy out of him by doing this? The risk is too high."
"We're indeed taking a risk, but it won't be an issue." Raaha gave his analysis, "For the first time in history, there are two Mystic Grade Pranic Beasts. Brangara feels threatened by Inala, so he would indeed focus on the latter once he adjusts to his life in the Varahan Enclave. When targeted by the Celestial Boar, Inala will be forced to give his everything to counter Brangara's plans."
Whatever he did pushed Maroppa ever closer to Orakha. Since Orakha liked Maroppa, he was indeed happy about it, since he desired to have a loving family, which he didn't have on Earth.
But the current state of matters might interfere with his family, just as it did on Earth. The Mammoth Clan wanted to control Maroppa, ensuring she gave birth to a Mammoth Clansman. She indeed had the capability to do so, which was why the Mammoth Clan brought her with them.
Once Maroppa births Orakha's child, the Mammoth Clan will raise the child as a soldier against Brangara. Orakha knew this, but couldn't break free from the Mammoth Clan because of one reason—it was safer with the Mammoth Clan than living out on their own.
Maroppa was only capable of birthing one child with Orakha. All the other children she births would be Mudroppers. The problem was with living on their own. If their identity gets revealed, Brangara would target them, since a Mudropper's power was incredibly valuable.
The Mudropper race had no choice but to live in hiding for the time being, at least until Brangara was killed. Moreover, there was no guarantee that Gannala wouldn't turn the Mudroppers into Nature Weapons if Maroppa left the Mammoth Clan.
That threat was there. No, Orakha could guarantee Gannala doing that, considering her character. Therefore, he didn't have much of a choice. Whether it was for him or Maroppa, living with the Mammoth Clan was the safest choice.
"I'll make preparations, Chief." Saying so, Orakha killed himself and revived next to Virala, observing that the latter was continuing to consume branches of the Transcendent Eater.
"How did it go?" Virala stared at Orakha, asking while munching nonstop, "If all trees tasted this good, I would happily become a herbivore."
"The Chief wants us to make traps for the Wean Clan." Orakha said, "We'll be doing that until Grehha gets revived. Following his revival, you'll assassinate him while trying to shift the blame on Inala."
"Oh, I love the sound of that," Virala said once he heard the entirety of the plan. While conversing, he subtly nudged Orakha in a certain direction, taking caution to prevent Blola from noticing it.
Orakha slipped a Mystic Eater into the ground as he continued the conversation, relaying Raaha's commands for Blola.
The Mystic Eater tunnelled underground for close eight hundred metres before exiting to see a Spirit Container cluster hanging from a tree branch like a fruit. It consumed the cluster and digested it, gaining the information stored in it.
Soon, it returned through the underground route and touched the soles of Orakha's feet, merging into his body. Soon, a series of data flashed in Orakha's mind, causing him to stare at Virala whole trying his best to maintain a poker face.
But internally, he was shaken.
[Blola can revive anyone he consumes once he reaches the 5-
Life Stage. The Mammoth Clan wants to control Ruvva through this method. And if your child isn't born a Mammoth Clansman, she'll be consumed and revived by Blola for the Mammoth Clan's purpose.]
