Lightning Is the Only Way

The black general noticed that only the fire hyenas had been targeted, making him even more careful. He was absolutely sure that the leading snake, which the reporting hyena had talked about, led this attack. For some reason, that snake had anticipated their invasion.

"Keep the formation! Don't wildly attack!" the black general shouted. Being careful was the best option right now. Sooner or later, the sea beasts would run out of these tactics.

When Shira saw that, she sneered. "Idiot," she commented again. "Use the squid tactic," she ordered.

Quickly a lot of beasts started moving around seemingly at random. Shira had had several hours to plan for the incoming fight. Of course, she had created a lot of plans and had informed her army about them. This invasion was meant only for the sea camp.

The main reason for that was rather interesting. It had everything to do with the recruitment of new members.

A lot of sea beasts had been scouted from the ocean by their tribesmen. Hearing that they only needed to win against one enemy to join a Tribe made these sea beasts go wild with greed. Therefore, most of the fighting sea beasts were new recruits from the ocean that hadn't proven themselves yet. If they managed to kill a hyena, they would be able to join the Tribe and also eat their enemy.

The hyenas that won the fight would also join the Tribe. Of course, they would be part of the land camp. Like this, both camps would get powerful, new members.

Shira's new plan would take some minutes to come into effect. Meanwhile, the front of the pathway was blocked by a lot of hard and annoying to catch sea beasts. The blocking party was mostly comprised of shrimp that could take a hit and retreat quickly.

Because of that, the plan was ready before the enemy arrived at the 50% mark. When Shira saw that everything was ready, she ordered the army to start.

SPLASH!

A lot of gigantic fish appeared at the surface and slammed their fins into the water, creating a powerful wave that swept towards the hyenas. Of course, this was a common tactic that sea beasts used. So, the enemy's Earth Movers were prepared.

Big walls appeared around the pathway that deflected the waves. Yet…

CRK! CRK! CRK! CRK!

Holes opened up beneath the Earth Movers, and long tentacles came out of them. The hyenas had been distracted by the wave and hadn't noticed the tunnels that had been created below them.

Of course, that couldn't be blamed on the hyenas. Usually, Water Makers didn't appear in such wars. On top of that, these tunnels had been created way too fast. Something like this needed more than one Water Maker.

The responsible Water Maker was also responsible for something else. Far away, many injured hyenas were thrown to the mountains of the River Tribe together with the sea beasts they had killed.
