The moon was dark, and the wind was howling.
It was already late at night outside North Town City, and the bustling city during the day had now fallen into silence. A team of soldiers on night patrol walked past the long street.
They were in the outer area of North Town City, and there were no other buildings around except for a simple campsite. It was a large amount of empty space reserved for North Town City's upgrade. There was usually no one here during the day, and it was even more desolate at night. Even the soldiers on night patrol rarely came here.
Creak! Creak!
All of a sudden, some noises reverberated in the silent night. Closely after that, the noises disappeared. A few minutes later, the noises reverberated again. Soon, several black figures, about 1.3 m in height, drilled out of the fence of the camp.
"It's safe, there's no one here," a dog-like voice said in Dragon Language.
"Be careful, keep an eye out, and alert us immediately if you find anything wrong," another voice said.
The dark clouds in the sky were blown away, and the silver moonlight shone on the ground. With the help of the hazy moonlight, a few black figures slowly appeared. They had dark brown scales, another sharp horn on their heads, and the heads of dogs. They were short and wore tattered clothes. They were a few Kobolds.
"Hurry and inform the Oracle that everything is safe!" After observing for a while, one of the Kobolds, who seemed to be the leader, said. The Kobold beside him immediately went back into the fence.
"Lord Oracle, we've already checked, and everything is normal outside. The Kobold lowered his voice and said excitedly.
"Everything is normal outside, then we'll take action immediately," the Kobold Oracle in a brown linen robe said with a nod.
"Lord Oracle, please come with me." As they moved forward quietly, the Kobolds quickly climbed out of the hole in the fence. Everything went surprisingly smoothly, and no one was alarmed when the hundreds of devout believers came out.
After seeing all the Kobolds come out, a look of joy flashed across the Oracle's face. He looked at the sky, and at this moment, the moon was covered by dark clouds again. The entire North Town City was plunged into darkness.
"This is a God-given opportunity. Everyone, follow us. We're going to escape this cage today. May the Wuxin Clan Ancestor bless us." After saying that, the Kobolds all bowed and prayed. Then, under the cover of the night, they carefully crept towards the city walls.
At this moment, in the camp, in the guard's room, a few soldiers were staring at the group of dog-headed people who were carefully escaping.
"Captain, are we really not going to capture these fugitives? Are we going to let them escape? "a young soldier asked doubtfully.
"This is the Lord's order. Do you dare to disobey?" The captain next to him glanced at him and said.
"Hehe, I wouldn't dare." The soldier laughed dryly.
"By the way, captain, do you know why Sir Lord is doing this?"
The captain next to him knocked on the soldier's head. "Mind your own business. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Oh." The soldier shrunk his head and nodded.
The captain turned around and continued to observe the dog-headed people outside. However, he thought to himself, How would I know what Sir Lord is going to do?
Under the cover of the night, hundreds of dog-headed people quickly found their way to the vicinity of the city walls. They searched near the city walls for a while, and soon found a sewer. The sewer was not large, but it was connected to the moat outside the city. The sewer was not large, and an adult would not be able to get in at all. However, it was not a problem for the short dog-headed people.
A few dog-headed people got into the sewer, and then crawled out along the sewer. Soon, the dog-headed people climbed along the sewer to the edge of the city walls. The sewer of the city would lead to the moat, and then flow out from the moat. However, there were not many of such sewers.
They had already seen the moat, but in the end, there was an iron fence that was as thick as a finger at the point where the sewer was connected to the moat. Seeing that they were about to escape, but they were blocked by the iron fence, the dog-headed people were enraged.
"Bang!" A strong dog-headed person slammed the iron fence hard. In the end, something shocking happened. The iron fence that was as thick as a finger broke open at the point where it was connected to the wall.
Seeing this, the dog-headed person was overjoyed. He grabbed the iron fence with both hands and shook it hard. As the rubble on the wall slid down, the iron fence blocking the exit of the sewer was pushed to the ground with a clang.
"It's open! It's open! "A few dog-headed people cheered excitedly.
"What's that sound?"
"Who's there?!" At that moment, a loud shout came from afar. Then, they saw faint figures moving toward them.
"Oh no, we've been discovered. Let's go!" Seeing those figures, the dog-headed people immediately panicked.
"Don't panic, there's still time. The sewer is open. Everyone, go into the sewer immediately." Seeing the other dog-headed people panicking, the dog-headed person known as the god's messenger immediately commanded. It was obvious that this dog-headed person had a high status among them. As soon as he spoke, all the dog-headed people immediately recovered and jumped into the sewer.
After the dog-headed people entered the sewer, they did not stop at all. Instead, they quickly crawled toward the moat not far away. By the time the soldiers' strolled 'over, all the dog-headed people had successfully escaped.
Only when the dog-headed people had escaped a distance away from Northern Battlefront City along the moat did they stop, panting.
"We've escaped, we've escaped!" The dog-headed people cheered excitedly.
After the dog-headed people cheered for a while, the dog-headed god's messenger, Horn, raised his arm. Soon, all the dog-headed people quieted down. "My brethren, although we've successfully escaped from the enslavement of those humans, we're not safe now. So, we need to leave this place as soon as possible.
"The great Elder Wuxin has given us an oracle. He has prepared a god-given land for us to live and develop. Praise the true God!"
"Praise the true God!"
"Praise the true God!"
A wave of cheers sounded, and the dog-headed people's morale rose again.
"Okay, let's set off now. We'll go to our new home!" Horn ordered, and the dog-headed people set off again. However, what the dog-headed people did not know was that there were a few eagles circling above their heads. At the same time, not far away from them, a few drows were hiding and quietly observing the dog-headed people.
In fact, the dog-headed people's successful escape from Northern Battlefront City was completely arranged by Suhlen. Otherwise, not to mention the dog-headed people, even a group of knights would not have been able to escape easily. The oracle that Horn mentioned was completely made up by Suhlen. Even the escape route that the dog-headed people took was prepared by Suhlen. To put it bluntly, it was all a big show that Suhlen had written and directed. It was just that the dog-headed people did not know about it.
After letting Hathaway use the Dream Weaving Spell, he successfully used the so-called oracle to guide Horn's actions and make the dog-headed person act according to Suhlen's instructions. This was also Suhlen's way of deceiving the dog-headed people because they were not intelligent.
Suhlen let the dog-headed people out to let them develop on their own. If he kept interfering with the dog-headed people's development, he would easily be discovered by the evil god that they now believed in. Now, he let them develop on their own and only sent people to monitor them secretly. When the fruit was ripe, they would come and pick it.
Horn led the dog-headed people to the north of Northern Battlefront City in high spirits. They had night vision, so they could see well at night. The other monsters around Northern Battlefront City had already been cleared, so the dog-headed people did not encounter any other wild beasts at night.
However, as soon as they left Northern Battlefront City, a ferocious wolf set its eyes on them. Ferocious wolves were a common ferocious beast in the northern wilderness. They were over four meters long and 1.7 to 2 meters tall. They usually hunted in pairs. As soon as they discovered the dog-headed people, they immediately attacked them.
Facing such a ferocious beast, the dog-headed people did not even have weapons. The ferocious wolf easily rushed into their formation. After biting a few dog-headed people to death, it retreated with the corpses. The rest of the dog-headed people took the opportunity to run for their lives. Fortunately, the ferocious wolf did not continue to chase after them after finding food.
After encountering the ferocious wolf, the dog-headed people did not encounter any other monsters for the rest of their journey. When the sky gradually brightened, the dog-headed people arrived at a secluded valley. The valley was shaped like a horn. The entrance was small, but the inside was big. There was also a pool of flowing water in the innermost part. There were also some statues and stone carvings not far from the pool.
This valley was a ruin discovered by Suhlen. The area of the valley was not big, but it was the perfect place for the dog-headed people to nest.
After being enslaved in Northern Battlefront City for a long time, these dog-headed people had learned how to grow potatoes and other crops. Although they could not be compared to humans, it was not a problem for them to feed their small tribe. After arriving at the valley, Horn finally let out a sigh of relief. This was the god-given land that the God in his dream told him about.
After arriving at the valley, all the dog-headed people quickly began to build under Horn's command. In order to let them develop more believers, Suhlen purposely drove the surrounding dog-headed people and goblins to this area. As the Evil God's priest, Horn naturally absorbed these goblins and dog-headed people. At this rate, this tribe that believed in the Evil God would rapidly grow.
