Some of the Players who had traveled thousands of miles to participate in the special quest were very upset when they found that their quest Boss had been stolen by another wild Boss.
However, even if they wanted to kill the wild boss to make up for their losses, it was already too late.
After all, the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior had entered a state of passion and killed Vlad the Nightstalker Ancestor with a punch, only to have his heart melted and die as well.
Since neither of them were killed by the Players, they didn't drop anything, and every Player who participated in the quest merely received the corresponding quest reward …
Leaving aside the Players' displeasure, the ones who were most shocked in this skirmish were undoubtedly the Long Ears, who had come to lend a hand and then slacked off at the sidelines.
The Mountain Tigers, a tribe second only to the Grayclaws in the Vierlin Plains, were wiped out right in front of them!
At first, Rangka had only come under the orders of his elder brother — the chief of the Long Ears tribe — to show his face and make his stand clear.
After all, the Long Ears didn't know that the Hyena-men's original target was the Players, and simply assumed that they were the target.
From their perspective, the Players' act of chasing the Hyena-men all the way to the Mountain Tigers' stronghold after killing them was no different from a guest who had taken a bullet for the host. Not only did the guest take a bullet for the host, he even grabbed a mop and dashed out to cripple the gunman with a single blow, before running off to stab the mastermind to death …
Alright, although it sounded a little weird to say it like that, it was generally a selfless act that moved Rabbit.
The Long Ears' chief thought about it and decided that he couldn't just watch the show while eating seafood since the guest was working so hard.
However, the final result was that the customer stabbed the mastermind, whose neck was thicker than a cook's, to death with a mop. After stabbing him, he even added, "Who said that you can't stab someone to death without a spearhead?"
Rangka couldn't think of how to describe the humans who called themselves Players at once, and eventually came up with a single phrase.
Either way, they were super awesome.
Rangka, who had been a little resentful that his brother had arranged for him to come and help and felt that his brother was sending him to his death promptly became obedient, and began to feel that his brother was a tribal chief for being able to see further than himself.
High, it was really high!
When Rangka returned to the Long Ears' settlement and told the Long Ears' chief everything he saw, the latter appeared impassive as if everything was within his expectations, but his tail was already bristling in shock.
While the Long Ears' chief had been kind to the Players from the start due to Laybit and Zonyan saving his life, he never imagined that the Players would actually be so powerful. * * * Even so, he didn't expect them to be so powerful.
Terrifying, terrifying, terrifying.
"By the way, Brother, the humans hope to build a statue of the God of Games in the tribe." Rangka suddenly remembered the request that the Players addressed as' Mister Liege '(Angora) had made when they met.
Even if the nonhumans didn't have a liege system, Rangka, who had interacted with the Western Continent's human nobles before, knew that lieges were rather honorable people, which was why he attached great importance to their requests.
"Statue of God? This won't be easy … "
The Long Ears chief couldn't help frowning at that.
Most nonhumans only worshipped their own ancestors, and having a statue of another god in their village was a little inappropriate.
"Actually, I think it's fine to agree to their request." Rangka advised softly when he saw that.
"What, are you planning to swear fealty to the humans again?" The Long Ears chief couldn't help teasing.
"Of course not! Still, I believe that the matter between the Hyena-men and the Mountain Tigers wouldn't be hidden from the other tribes now that things have come to this. We would definitely be labeled as the humans' lackeys. " Rangka was neither embarrassed nor angered by the mention of his previous embarrassment, and instead became even more spirited. "The Long Ears have no way out now. With things having come to this, isn't it only right for them to join the humans?"
"…" The Long Ears chief sat on his seat and propped his chin with both hands in thought, not immediately continuing the conversation.
With Rangka's understanding of his brother, he knew that the fact that he wasn't outright refusing meant that he was seriously considering the possibility of completely siding with the humans.
"Think about it, brother. Those humans must have been filled with anxiety and uncertainty when they crossed the ocean to this unfamiliar land. Given their pitiful and helpless circumstances, they would have built a divine statue just to find a place of spiritual sustenance in this unfamiliar land. Aren't we being too unsympathetic if we can't even satisfy that little request?" Rangka said, striking while the iron was hot. * * * * *
"… If they are weak, pitiful, and helpless, then what were we before they came?" The Long Ears chief had a helpless look on his face.
The humans could defeat the Hyena-men and wipe out the Mountain Tigers in a direct confrontation. Moreover, according to what his tribesmen said when they returned, the humans had also killed a creature that called itself a Nightstalker, and there was no telling whether it was an ancient demon or a devil …
"Moreover, it wouldn't affect us even if the humans built a statue of a god." Rangka pretended not to hear his brother's retort, and continued, "They didn't force us to worship their god either. All we have to do is build a statue for ourselves to worship. Our tribe could just keep worshipping our ancestors in the ancestral hall like before, right?"
It was just a statue of a god. Even if its appearance represented a change in the tribe's ideology, it wouldn't affect the Long Ears at all on a practical level.
In fact, if Rangka led a group of tribesmen to worship that God of Games or whatnot and successfully infiltrate the humans, the Long Ears tribe would benefit immensely.
Everything else aside, the new generation of the Long Ears tribe would grow rapidly with the aid of various living resources. As long as they didn't run into any natural or man-made disasters, the next generation's population would grow explosively.
And for nonhumans, population was the most important indicator of a tribe's prosperity.
"Alright." At that thought, the Long Ears chief couldn't resist the temptation of the glorious achievement of revitalizing the Long Ears tribe. "Go tell the humans that I agree." He sighed.
