324 Sudden Invasion (1/2)

---

How the Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer ended up at the Crown's possession is a mystery that Raven might never get the answer to, what he knew is that King Ivan didn't possess the Ancestral Divine Crown when he was still alive.

This conjecture was supported by the fact that he did receive King Ivan's memories when he inherited the hammer along with the memories of the previous owners. This is why Raven knew a great deal about the former king even though he never personally met him or read any records about him.

Raven didn't go into detail with his story, he just grazed on the highlights of King Ivan's life and told them how he ended up changing the ways of people during his reign and steered the fate of the kingdom in a better path.

The Apes who were with him listened to his story with rapt attention. The person that Raven was talking about was the adoptive parent of their founders, of course they would be interested to know more about him.

They were impressed and somewhat proud of how the human lived, they couldn't tell just how much of what Raven said was an exaggeration but he doesn't seem to be lying.

In a way, the conversation ended up being a fruitful one. Ronald and Charles talked more with Raven like equals and similarly, Raven was also starting to think that he's not with primates but with fellow humans as well. He had somehow forgotten the joy of a simple chat due to his journey alone in a dangerous place. That is why this conversation brought a feeling of respite on Raven's heart and he greatly appreciated it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the peaceful atmosphere will remain for long.

*Boom!!*

The three instantly shot up on their seats as they heard a loud explosion nearby.

”What in the world?” Ronald blurted with a surprised tone.

Raven immediately spread out his senses and as soon as he did, he began picking up a lot of things from his ocular technique.

”You're tribe is being invaded.” Raven said casually, much to the surprise and horror of the two. He then faced Ronald and say: ”You might want to hurry up. Your brothers are in danger.”

Ronald's eyes widened as his face immediately went grave. He roared: ”No!!”

He then punched a hole on the house. This wasn't the time for him to mind about the damages, the lives of his brothers are more important. Charging using his broad shoulders, Ronald rammed into the hole and made it bigger due to his size.

As soon as Ronald went out, he didn't look back at all and started charging towards where the source of the commotion was. Of course, Charles and Raven was following him too.

Raven already knew what happened even if he wasn't physically there.

The Frenzied Silverback Tribe had invaded with a force of 20 strong primates, all of which are radiating with no lower than Tier 4 strength. Raven had no idea how they managed to get it but that's no longer important since they were already here. The gates were already busted down anyway.

The enemy tribe immediately caused chaos inside, Raven caught glance of Allan trying to fend off at least two enemies who's after him and Dennis' life.

The three swiftly arrived to where the fight was happening with Ronald arriving first.

Eyes blazing with anger and worry, he immediately scanned the battlefield to locate his brothers and immediately saw both of them injured.

A fearsome glint appeared on his eyes, his face contorted in fury as he immediately went on a rampage. The ground shook beneath him as he charged, and despite his size he moved as swift as the wind. His large frame crashed onto the assailant and sent him flying back, hitting the other one who's after Dennis.

”Big Bro!” Dennis and Allan called out.

Ronald immediately pulled them back behind and him as he glared at the two assailants who were trying to get up from his surprise attack.

Charles wasn't sitting idly either. As the Tribe Leader, he had responsibilities to keep his citizens safe. He immediately searched for his confidants and started handing out orders to evacuate the women, children and elderly on to a safe place. He too fought fearsomely with his black golden staff, and even though Charles might look old, his movements were similar to that of a seasoned fighter. A surprising feat for the leader of a tribe that preached out peace.
