King Liao's heart was filled with hatred and killer intents, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. His aura shot up to the sky, causing the remaining monsters in Ring City to freeze.
Soon, King Reow and King Qi joined in.
The three auras merged into one, distorting the sky above Ring City.
The monsters in Ring City shuddered in fear.
Scarlet watched the scene quietly.
It didn't join in, neither did it stop them.
It was the three kings' own business.
At least, they had to do so in the monsters' world.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Somewhere in the underground hideout, Paladia sensed the presence and shrunk his neck at the direction of Ring City. The Herder from the Gemstone Sector muttered, "All we did was rob a convoy, it's not that bad, right?"
"Not really.
It should be related to the explosion.
Just like our previous robbery, all they had to do was send out a group of scouts to chase after us, and that's already bad enough. "
The minotaur walked to the corner and mimicked Paladia, poking his head out to look at the invisible Ring City.
He sounded very certain.
The horseman beside him also nodded.
Only Lucan was different.
The tall young Herder was vigilantly guarding the convoy, paying attention to every movement around him at all times.
The convoy was too rich!
Look at the boxes of Crossing Coins, equipment and items!
Especially the latter, every single one of them was considered a fine item.
Moreover, there were 10 of them!
10 of them!
What a huge amount of wealth it was!
It was reasonable for Lucan to be angry over such a huge amount of wealth.
The young Herder from the Northern Woods had never seen such a huge amount of wealth.
After all, when he left the Northern Woods, the most valuable thing he had was the bear pelt on him, followed by his pants and shoes.
As for more?
Sorry, the Northern Woods was a cold and poor place, there was no more support.
Normal people were like that.
The Herders were no exception.
In fact …
It was even worse.
The Herders of the Northern Woods had a special legacy, allowing them to eat at least 3 times more than normal people, 10 times more than normal people, just like Lucan's family.
Lucan was well aware of how much he could eat. Even five grown men combined couldn't compare to his appetite.
As for his father?
A day's worth of food for 10 adult men was equivalent to his father's meal.
And his grandfather.
Although he was already old, basking in the sun every day at the entrance of the cave, not moving at all as if he was asleep, every time he woke up, he would eat more than a hundred adult men's worth of food for a single meal.
With that in mind, even with the Herders HQ's support from time to time, Lucan's family still had a hard time.
Especially after Lucan entered the puberty stage, everything within a hundred miles had been eaten by him.
All that was left was the snow and the trees. Even the birds wouldn't fly here.
Just when Lucan was wondering if he should taste the tree, the registration for the Battle of Winter Night began.
Lucan signed up without hesitation.
Not only did he want to find the bear statue, but he also wanted to have a full meal.
And everything was wonderful!
Not only did he eat his fill at the campsite, but he also gained a lot of knowledge and made good friends here.
Now that his good friend had something to do and had to leave, he had to help his good friend protect this wealth.
No one could get close.
Not even Paladia.
"I just want to check our spoils of war!"
Paladia naturally walked up to the box after he came back from the alleyway, but before he really got close to the box, Lucan stopped him from going further.
His vigilant gaze made Paladia cover his face.
"We are on the same side!
I'm just checking!
I won't touch it! "
Paladia tried again.
It was torturous for the Herder from the Gemstone Sector to not be able to check or touch his spoils of war.
In the past dozen hours, he had tried countless times.
Every time he tried, he failed.
He heard that the Herders of the Northern Forest were stubborn, but he never thought they weren't stubborn at all. Their brains were filled with muscles!
Not only did they not know how to be flexible, but they also knew how to use brute force!
A big hand was placed on Paladia's shoulder like the previous few times, and it was pushed lightly.
Dang Dang Dang!
Paladia's body was considered decent for a common man, yet he was pushed back seven to eight steps without any resistance. He only stopped when he crashed into the wall at the end of the corridor.
Paladia grinned when he felt the pain on his shoulder and back.
"This is Royan's, not yours or mine!"
Lucan said in a serious tone.
"But I'm a part of it!
I'm still an important part of it! "
Paladia didn't want to be outdone.
"Bait has no right to be distributed.
Bait during wartime is food storage. "
Lucan seriously explained the rules of the Northern Forest to Paladia again.
"I am a human!
A human!
Are you trying to eat a human? "
Paladia glared at Lucan.
"That's why you survived.
You should be grateful and stay here with me, waiting for Royan to come back. "
Lucan flashed a sincere and grateful smile.
Paladia felt like he was going to die of anger when he saw the smile.
What was food storage?
What was gratitude?
Lucan wasn't just a bait, was he?
He had quite the contribution as well!
For example, for example …
Paladia wanted to come up with an example to refute Lucan but after much thought, he realized in despair that other than being a bait, he really didn't do anything else.
Paladia was lost for a moment.
'Am I just a war storage?'
Lucan patted Paladia's shoulder with a smile when he saw the confused Paladia. He then walked back to the box and waited patiently.
The minotaur and horseman looked at the scene.
They didn't say a word.
They treated it as a way to relieve their boredom.
As for the boxes?
They didn't care at all.
For these two monsters, robbing Ring City was a part of life, they didn't care about what they would get in the end, it was like beating Lil Pea after three meals a day.
Who would care about what Lil Pea was yelling about?
Or whether she was wearing a hat or not.
Just beat her up!
Surprisingly, the minotaur and horseman got along well with Lucan since they had such simple thoughts.
"Boorish!
Barbarian! "
Paladia thought as he squatted down.
However, at the next moment, the two monsters and the two Herders stood up at the same time.
Dak Dak Dak.
Clear footsteps sounded.
Kieran's figure entered everyone's sight.
The monster in black followed behind Kieran like a bodyguard, not a step away.
"Royan, you're back!
This is great! "
Lucan shouted in excitement when he saw Kieran. The young Herder of the Northern Forest walked over to Kieran and said in a natural tone, "It's not easy to guard your things, especially when Paladia tries to open the boxes from time to time and I can't really hurt him …"
Kieran frowned at Paladia.
The unfriendly gaze made Paladia shrink his neck.
"I just want to have a look."
Paladia explained with a pale face.
"Those are mine."
Kieran simply declared his ownership of the spoils of war.
He then turned around and smiled at Lucan.
"Thank you."
Kieran was very courteous.
He could tell which ones had ulterior motives and which ones were honest.
Without a doubt, Lucan was the latter.
As for Paladia?
He wasn't the latter, neither was he the former.
At most, he was a convenient bait.
How could a bait have other thoughts?
Kieran was thinking about whether he should change the bait or not.
Just as Kieran was thinking about it, Paladia was really scared.
"I don't want the distribution of the spoils of war, I just …"
"The distribution of the spoils of war?
You are just a bait, where do you get the right to distribute the spoils of war? "
Kieran frowned again and interrupted the man's words.
Σ (っ ° Д °;) っ
Paladia was shocked.
He looked at Kieran in disbelief.
"You are not going to give me a single thing?!"
Paladia widened his eyes.
"You are just a bait.
Before you became a bait, you were my captive.
As a captive, where do you get the confidence to distribute the spoils of war? "
Kieran looked at Paladia in annoyance.
Captive?
Paladia was stunned.
Then, he hung his head down in despair.
He finally remembered his true identity.
Yes.
He was a captive.
How could a captive have the right to distribute the spoils of war?
'Hehe, I am a captive.'
Paladia walked to the side dejectedly and squatted down, not having the intention to speak anymore.
"Royan, what are we going to do now?
Leave this place? "
Lucan asked bluntly.
When the word "leave" was mentioned, the Herder of the Northern Woods was eager.
It wasn't that he had never been underground before.
However, every time he went underground, he felt uneasy.
His palms were sweaty and he had trouble breathing after being underground for a long time.
"Em.
Let's leave this place.
The surface has returned to normal. "
Kieran then turned around and walked away.
The monster that had turned from white to black knew what Kieran was talking about, but it didn't say anything and followed Kieran.
It had no more room to retreat.
It didn't want to guard the door anymore.
Staying by Kieran's side was the best choice.
More so, Kieran earned its respect from the bottom of its heart.
A bunch of self-proclaimed smart bastards were toyed around by their master's palm.
That Viktor bastard?
Just you wait.
Things weren't over yet.
The monster slightly guessed what Kieran wanted to do, it couldn't help but curl its lips into a grin.
The minotaur and horseman, who had no idea what was going on, pulled the Camel Beasts and the carriage and followed Kieran.
For these two monsters, signing a contract and calling Kieran 'master' was a lifetime thing, they didn't even have time to think about anything else.
Wherever the master went, they would follow.
Among the group, the happiest one was the Herder of the Northern Woods.
Lucan let out a cheer, grabbed Palladia, and chased after them.
Paladia struggled instinctively.
But it was useless.
Then, he completely gave up.
He was a captive.
It wasn't unacceptable for him to be dragged away like this.
The group moved quickly, and with the minotaur and horseman leading the way, they soon found a hidden exit and came to the surface.
The night on the surface was long gone.
Under the bright sun, the outskirts of the city ruins were unusually quiet.
Only the crackling of firewood and fire could be heard.
Many large predators in the outskirts were skewered by big trees and roasted over a big bonfire. A tall man in a white bear pelt was watching the scene with full attention.
He would turn his meat skewers from time to time, letting the food heat evenly.
"Not a bad place.
Plenty of food. "
He commented like this.
However, no one around him agreed with his opinion.
Daliphen looked at the remaining Herders, his eyes filled with pain.
When they first came in, they were a bunch of lively young men, but now …
Not even their bodies were intact.
More importantly, Viktor the Judge was the mastermind behind everything.
With that thought in mind, Daliphen couldn't help but look at Ciroc.
He had to confirm it.
If it was fake, he would find the rumormonger and demand an explanation.
He really wanted to find that bastard and make him pay for the deaths of these young men!
Ciroc faced Daliphen's gaze, showing unprecedented hesitation.
He wasn't sure if it was real or not.
Ciroc unconsciously looked at the Inhumans further away.
Compared to the Herders' loss, the Inhumans suffered heavy losses as well.
More than half of them were dead or missing.
As the person in charge of the Inhuman camp, Mian Yi was having a headache.
The only fortunate thing was that the young lady was fine.
It was a blessing for Mian Yi.
As for the rest?
We'll see.
Mian Yi made up his mind. His gaze met Ciroc's, and both of them looked to the side in tacit understanding.
Viktor's matter …
This was bad!
The two people in charge of the camp kept quiet.
However, the young men in charge of the camp didn't.
The young men who lost their friends and family were extremely agitated.
They questioned Ciroc without a care in the world.
Why was this place so unpredictable?
Why did they run into enemies that exceeded their expectations?
Why was everything different from what they had agreed on?
Question after question appeared in the young men's hearts. Then, the questions were voiced out loud.
Pangnard mingled in the crowd, keeping quiet.
He was a smart man, he knew the answer would only cause more chaos. Therefore, after the conversation with Daliphen, Pangnard from the Bay Area kept quiet.
Song Shi wanted to spill the beans.
The young lady had always been a straightforward person.
However, Mian Yi held her back.
"Focus on the big picture."
Mian Yi advised the young lady.
Song Shi couldn't utter a word against Mian Yi's pleading face.
However, someone could —
"Focus on the big picture?
So they became pawns to be sacrificed?
"Are you still going to protect 'Judge' Victor at this point in time?"
Isn't the truth obvious enough?
"He sacrificed everyone for his own benefit. Is he worth your protection?"
A clear voice entered the camp, attracting the attention of the questioning young men. All of them looked at the convoy coming from afar.
In front of the convoy, Kieran faced the crowd's gaze calmly.
He didn't back down.
He wasn't afraid either.
Because …
Everything he said was the truth!
