Chapter 937

After that, everyone discussed many things.

It was mainly about the two awakened heroes. Lidas and Anima were too concerned about them, causing the topic to revolve around them.

This wasn't a bad thing.

Lidas and Anima had a very comprehensive understanding of the two heroes. They even pointed out their strengths and weaknesses, which was equivalent to telling Shien and the others their weaknesses, including their fighting style, methods, and so on. The explanation was very detailed.

With such detailed explanations, the next time they faced the two heroes, they wouldn't be as flustered as this time. In fact, they almost lost the battle in the end.

However, there were indeed some bad things about it.

Just like what Shien thought, Lidas and Anima weren't the military gods in charge of Bloodshed Land. After discussing for a long time about the impact of the addition of two Transcendent Level powerhouses and how to deal with it, they could only come up with the conclusion that they should take precautions. They couldn't take the initiative to attack.

Of course, it was also difficult to take the initiative to attack.

Not to mention that the traces of the enemy were still unknown, the kingdom and the Protoss still needed to make arrangements for the Beastmen. They needed to make sufficient arrangements for the returning Beastmen's combat power before they could carry out the next step of their operation.

Especially in terms of captives.

This time, Shien didn't only bring back the Beastmen. He also captured Nott and the other Beastman warriors who participated in the rebellion, as well as the Dwarf Blacksmiths who were forging weapons in Kosmos.

The kingdom and the Protoss also had follow-up arrangements for these people. Whether it was a trial or interrogation, there were still many things that needed to be done.

In the end, Lidas and Anima even emphasized on the issue of the Dwarf Tribe's rebellion.

After all, the Beastmen had already returned. If the Dwarf Tribe could be won back, it would be better for them to do so.

However, the situation of the Dwarf Tribe was different from the Dwarf Tribe.

The Beastmen were scattered all over the world in the form of tribes. As such, it was impossible for the entire tribe to be united. Even if Guula stood up and led the rebellion, not many would choose to follow him.

Among the Beastmen, the majority didn't agree with the rebellion. However, they were threatened and had no choice but to be controlled by others.

However, the Dwarf Tribe was different.

The Dwarf Tribe's population wasn't as large as the Beastmen. Although it was much better than the Elves, it was still lacking compared to the Humans and Beastmen who had excellent reproductive abilities.

Their population was estimated to be less than a million. Even if they were all gathered together and lived in one city, it would be more than enough.

Therefore, the Dwarf Race didn't have many tribes, nor did they have many forces. They only had a kingdom that was comparable to a small human kingdom located underground. Although it was called a kingdom, the Dwarf Race's kingdom only had one main city and a few scattered villages around the city.

As such, they collectively obeyed the Dwarf King, which was Nutz.

Even though the civilians at the bottom of the hierarchy had some complaints about Nutz, and they didn't want to betray the Human Race and go against the teachings of the Protoss, as ordinary civilians, it was difficult for them to raise any objections.

Even if they did, the higher ups would be able to suppress them easily.

Sean had heard that there were only two types of dwarves.

The first type was responsible for managing the tribe and their clansmen. They were adept at using their strong physiques and possessed decent combat power.

The other type was the blacksmiths who used the knowledge passed down by the Goddess since ancient times to forge excellent weapons and magical tools. They were extraordinary blacksmiths.

The blacksmiths were the core technicians of the Dwarf Tribe. The Dwarf Tribe was recognized as the gathering place of technical masters in the Three Realms. The weapons made by the Dwarf Tribe were highly sought after by the outside world because of these blacksmiths.

However, blacksmiths usually didn't have much fighting power. On the contrary, the Dwarf Warriors who had fighting power were all controlled by the higher ups of the Dwarf Tribe.

Among the higher ups, almost none of them were blacksmiths.

That was to be expected.

If one was of high status, they wouldn't be blacksmiths, right?

Although the highly skilled Weapon Masters had high status in the Dwarf Tribe and were bound to be respected by many, it was another matter whether they had actual power or not.

Because of this, the higher ups were the real decision-makers of the Dwarf Kingdom. Even if the ordinary civilians and blacksmiths wanted to object, they didn't have the ability to do so.

They probably wouldn't even be able to protest. They would be easily suppressed.

When that time came, they wouldn't give any human rights or dignity to the rebels.

This was a different world, a world where the strong preyed on the weak. It was a world where power was respected. It wasn't like the 21st century where human rights and freedom could be talked about.

If they did that here, their corpses could be exposed in the wilderness at any time.

Even if they buried thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people alive, they wouldn't be condemned in this world. At least, they wouldn't be accused of humanitarianism.

In summary, the Dwarf Tribe was much more united than the Orcs. Even if there were internal problems, it wouldn't be as obvious and huge as the Orcs.

In order for the Dwarf Tribe to return, they had to at least purge the higher ups of the Dwarf Tribe.

Lidas and Anima seemed to be trying to gather information. They wanted to see if there were any factions among the higher ups who didn't agree with the rebellion. They planned to start with them and subdue the Dwarf Tribe.

Unfortunately, Shien wasn't interested in this matter.

As for the Orcs, it was only because Elise and his friends were there. He also wanted to get rid of Guulla and break the current stalemate. That was why he decided to take action.

But this didn't mean that Shien wanted to become a professional rescue worker. He could save people here and liberate others, and reclaim the betrayed tribes.

He didn't object to this, but he wasn't interested in doing it himself.

From his point of view, if he kept passively reclaiming what he had lost, he would miss the perfect opportunity to counterattack by the time he realized what was going on.

Danas had really aroused Sean's vigilance, and he could no longer sit back and watch him continue to develop in the dark.

So, Shien made a decision on the spot.

"You guys can decide for yourselves. I have other matters to attend to."

Shien left the discussion with Lidas and the others.

Lidas and Anima were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything.

"Go back and rest."

"You must be tired after running into such a trap. Don't worry about the Dwarf Tribe. We'll take care of it."

Lidas and Anima said gently to Shien.

Shien wanted to say that he had nothing to worry about.

He didn't care about the Dwarf Tribe anyway. Even if they all died, Shien wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Maybe I'm not good enough as a hero?"

Recalling the great achievements of Hero Reinart and Hero Philip that he had just mentioned, Sean sighed with emotion.

Compared to those two heroes, Shien didn't seem like a hero at all.

But …

"So what?"

I am who I am. Why should I worry about my position and identity?

Does a hero have to be someone who upholds justice?

Does a hero have to worry about the country and its people and save the world?

Why should he be vexed because he was not a purely righteous person?

As long as I don't do anything wrong to others, I'll just follow my heart.

"Don't you think so?"

Shien subconsciously put his hand on his chest.

There, his heartbeat was rising and falling along with a mysterious pulse.

Sean looked inside his body, at the holy sword that had been emitting sacred waves and the two gems that were revolving around it. He muttered to himself as if he was talking to them.

Then, Shien left the palace without telling the others about his current situation.

His departure caused Rosie and Elise to look at him for a moment and stop their discussion with the goddesses.

"Do you want to follow?"

Rosie saw the hesitation and eagerness in Elise's eyes. She pursed her lips and said this out of an unknown emotion.

"No … no …"

Elise noticed Rosie's subtle attitude and instantly flinched.

There was no other reason than that the princess in front of her was not only the well-wishers of the three goddesses, but also the fiancée that Shien planned to marry in the future.

This made Elise feel as if she was facing the main wife.

… Is there something wrong with her?

Didn't he say that he wanted me to marry him when he came back?

If that's the case, isn't I facing my future wife now?

Thinking of this, Elise could not help but let her imagination run wild.

"Will she accept me?

"Will she accept me?

"Will she treat me as a concubine who is competing with her for favor, deliberately making things difficult for me and bullying me?"

The little fox felt a little uneasy.

It was not impossible to be a concubine.

Although she, a dignified Holy Maiden of the beastmen race, a person who had received the blessing of the Goddess of Life, actually went to be someone else's concubine, it was truly a bit shameful, even shameful for the beastmen race. However, the main palace was the kingdom's treasure and the Dragon Devil Highness, so who would dare say that they had been wronged?

The Dragon Demon was a person of much higher status than her. The same went for the most precious treasure of the kingdom. Although she was only the princess of one of the many human kingdoms, she was the well-wishers of the Goddess of Destiny and her successor. She was trusted and supported by the entire Protoss. Furthermore, she was the successor of the Sacred Sword of Mithra, so her status was much higher than hers.

What's wrong with me being her concubine?

However, if he were to be bullied, what should he do?

"Sob sob … I'm afraid of pain … o (́﹏ ́) o"

The little fox seemed to be envisioning a future where she would be bullied by the wife and even be subjected to domestic violence.

“？”

Rosie didn't know what was going on in Elise's mind at this moment. She just watched Elise's frightened, timid, dejected, and resigned look. A question mark slowly appeared in her mind.

What's wrong with this child?

Is she stupid?

Rosie muttered in her heart.

Only Lidas and Anima were completely oblivious to the thoughts of the well-wishers who they regarded as their own. They were engaged in a heated discussion.

It was not without reason that they had been single for tens of thousands of years.

… …

On the other hand, Shien went straight back to Borztutt's house after leaving the palace.

After greeting his family and seeing La Xia and Lilith, Shien did not say much and locked himself in his room.

Sitting on the bed in his room, Sean thought for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

"You can hear me, right? Neon! "

Shien called out.
