As soon as Guelz Burnflame approached the training ground of the clan, he heard the "Bang Bang" sounds coming from inside. The noise was so loud that it sounded like a heavy blunt instrument was repeatedly hammering a sandbag.
"Sir Chief!"
The guard at the door bowed his head and saluted.
"Hmm, is Lorgar practicing?" He pointed to the half-closed door.
"Yes, she came early in the morning and said not to disturb her if there's nothing important."
"I'll go and have a look."
"But Chief..."
"Hmm?" Guelz glanced at him.
"No, please come in." The guard could not help but tremble.
It seemed that his daughter was becoming more and more dignified. Guelz was not dissatisfied with the guard's obstruction. Instead, he raised his eyebrows with great interest. In this way, when he could no longer step onto the Burning Platform, the Wildflame clan would have a new successor.
When he opened the door, a training hall made of thousands of cowhides, hemp ropes, and wooden poles appeared in front of him. No one could build such an indoor training ground in Iron Sand City, except for the chief clan with the largest Stone Castle.
The hall was not paved with mud or stone bricks, but with fine yellow sand. Walking on it was like walking in a desert. Although the sand was fine, it was not soft. There were many things hidden in it, most of which were teeth or weapon fragments left behind by trainers. Of course, there was also a lot of blood, so some of the yellow sand had a faint dark red color.
Guelz's father's father had said that if they could dye all the yellow sand here red, the Wildflame clan would always be the chief clan, and no one in the Southernmost Region would be a match for them. Therefore, he had considered that if the clan was defeated and had to leave the Stone Castle, not only would they have to carry the cowhide tent over their heads, but also the yellow sand. Even if they could not build another training ground like this, at least they would not have to start staining the sand again after they won the first place.
At one end of the training hall, there was a row of iron bars. His daughter was barefooted, rolled up her trousers and sleeves, and threw a heavy punch at the hanging sandbags. Guelz had no doubt that if such a punch landed on a human body, it would definitely split the internal organs into pieces.
"What? Are you excited after seeing the Osha clan's performance?" he asked with a smile.
Lorgar spun her body and swept the sandbag with a roundhouse kick. Her slender legs were as fast as Lightning, and the sandbag, which was as tall as a person, was sent flying. The hemp rope, which could not bear the heavy load, finally snapped in the great swaying. The sandbag spun twice and fell heavily on the ground, spilling the sand inside.
"Phew …" She let out a long breath, and her beastified hands gradually returned to normal. "Don't say it, Father. You know what I'm thinking."
"You've taken a fancy to the goddess named Ashes, right?" Guelz laughed out loud. "After all, in terms of one-on-one combat, it's hard to find an opponent who can match you in the whole of Iron Sand City."
Lorgar pouted. "It's a pity that they've just won the right to garrison in Iron Sand City. They probably won't be here for a long time. Even if we send them an invitation to a competition, Osha probably won't agree."
"Of course, as a newly promoted clan, there are still many trivial matters to deal with if they want to gain a foothold in Iron Sand City. I'm afraid that by next spring, they will have new challengers. No one would waste their energy at this time. "
"So I can only chat with the sandbag." Lorgar sighed. "Did you call me just to talk about this?"
"You'd rather chat with the sandbag than talk with Father?"
"Uh … not really." Her ears, which were perked up on the top of her head, trembled and drooped down as if admitting her mistake.
"Ahem, your expression." Guelz resisted the urge to reach out and stroke his daughter's soft, fluffy ears, and reminded her with a straight face. Although she looked quite cute, it was not suitable for a clan leader to show an expression. As the future leader of the clan, she should always be serious and serious, so that her subordinates would feel reverence and obedience.
"Oh!" Lorgar immediately straightened her ears and responded seriously.
Guelz nodded in satisfaction. Since his daughter had awakened as a Divine Lady, she had become more and more fond of fighting, and her strength and ability had become stronger and stronger. In the eyes of the Mojins, this was not a bad thing. However, as she grew older, the abilities bestowed by the Three Gods gradually showed side effects. In the beginning, Lorgar looked no different from an ordinary person. She would only transform into a huge desert wolf when she used her ability. Later, she mastered the skill of transforming individual limbs in battle, and thus gained some means to restrain the God's Stone of Retaliation. After all, the range of influence of the God's Stone was only two to three steps. She only needed to slightly increase the distance between them to make her arms shapeshift, and ordinary people would not be able to block her slash.
This made her invincible in duels. Originally, in order to protect the number one position, the samurai team had suffered heavy losses, and their foundation was somewhat unstable. But after she joined, they became incomparably powerful again. In the past five years, no one dared to challenge Wildflame's position. However, the long years of fighting had caused parts of her body to become wolf-like, such as her pointed ears and half-exposed tail. Even if she withdrew her ability, these parts would not change back to their original shape.
As a result, Lorgar had become a half-human, half-wolf monster.
It was not hard to imagine that she would never be able to live the life of a normal Divine Lady. At least, no handsome warrior would fall in love with a body like hers, and Lorgar, who was too weak, would never fall in love with her.
Perhaps only the father, Guelz, would not care whether his daughter was a human or a beast.
Therefore, she had to become the chief of Wildflame. Only by standing in a position that everyone had to look up to could she cover up these controversies.
"What do you think of this holy duel?"
"It seemed to make people's blood boil, but in fact, it was just a trick of the chief of Osha, Drow Silvermoon. Apart from Ashes, there was nothing special about it." Lorgar wagged her tail.
"But I have to say, this is really a beautiful move. She used her ability to involve the people outside the duel, and avoided the restrictions of the rules. She almost completely controlled the direction of the duel." Guelz said while stroking his beard, "It's been many years since a winner was decided without a single death. I guess that even if the Cut Bone clan thought of this, they wouldn't hate Osha. "
"This trick can only be used once at most," Lorgar said disapprovingly. "I bet that in the next holy duel, the bystanders will also be required to wear God's Stones of Retaliation. Besides, although Osha's method can win the opponent's respect, it's tantamount to asking for trouble. Respect can't fill one's stomach. After the short period of recuperation, perhaps their first challenger will be the Cut Bone clan, who has made a comeback. "
Guelz patted his daughter's shoulder in relief. Being able to see this and putting the clan's interests as the top priority, she already had the qualifications to be the clan leader. Perhaps she wanted an evenly matched and hearty battle, but she would not deliberately look for such an opportunity and ignore the threat.
At this moment, the guard outside the training hall suddenly walked in quickly. After saluting the two, he reported, "Chief, we just received news that the Osha clan has once again issued a request for a holy duel!"
"What?" Guelz was startled and could not help but change his expression. It had only been a day since they won the right to enter Iron Sand City. "To whom?"
"To the fourth-ranked Sandstorm clan."
"They didn't move from the small oasis to Iron Sand City?"
"Yes, and some people said that they refused the Cut Bone clan's arrangement to move out."
"Damn, what the hell are these people thinking? Could it be that Osha's goal is not simply to enter Iron Sand City? "
"It seems that we've all guessed wrong." Lorgar was silent for a while, then she chuckled. "Perhaps the opportunity to fight with Ashes isn't as far away as I thought... What do you think, father?"
