In the past, the rise and fall of tribes were always marked by iron and blood, face-to-face battles without much scheming or deceit.
This time, however, the Wild Horse Tribe was destroyed by a conspiracy.
Though the conspiracy was crude—merely a collusion between him and the Ankara Tribe to divide up the Wild Horse Tribe—it proved effective.
No one would judge him for it, but since he started it, the lands will now be teeming with more conspiracies.
Today, he destroyed the Wild Horse Tribe with a scheme; tomorrow, others might use a scheme to destroy the Chimera Tribe.
And Constantine had yet another revelation: If the Wild Horse Tribe had Lanling, it would not have been destroyed. It could have defeated the Ankara Tribe and, perhaps even after a year or two, wrested back Falling Horse Mountain Range from the Chimera Tribe.
Beyond that, in any dire crisis that Chimera might face in the future, Lanling could serve as the ultimate weapon, even a savior.
