Chapter 272: Compromise (1/2)
Kairu was about to chase but Wen stopped him, ”Don't chase, we can use this chance for him to follow us willingly,” the Jade Eagle planned something in his head.
”You follow me, but hide from the knight,” he told the Flaming Lion. The latter wanted to say something but then he heard Wen said, ”If you are itching to fight, just follow my order. You can fight the knights later.”
Kairu's eyes brightened when Wen mentioned that he could fight. He nodded his head, as the Jade Eagle's beak raised a little bit, 'Easy.'
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang returned with his maximum speed. It was a tough journey for Arina as she had to cast a buff skill for herself. But she understood that he was in a hurry because the village was in danger.
It took them ten minutes to reach the village. Tang Shaoyang dropped Arina, ”You wake everyone, tell them to move as soon as possible. I will buy time for you guys,”
He did not want to hear her protest or something. He was about to depart toward the direction where the knights were, but then a green streak landed right in front of him.
Wen blocked his path, he was about to say something but the bird spoke first, ”Listen to me, I can help you to evacuate them to a safe place. I will guarantee their safety with my life that everyone with you will be safe!”
The Jade Eagle extended his hand toward Tang Shaoyang as his forehead glowing in green, ”Reach my hand, this is an oath. If I break the oath, my life is at the stake.”
There was no way that he would reach the hand immediately. It could be a trap until Arina said her words, ”That is a real oath.”
Tang Shaoyang was hesitating at this moment. If the thing about oath was true, then this was the best choice he could have now. It was until dozens of eagle beastmen descended from the sky.
He did not notice their presence, and he could not see them with his [Spirit Eyes] too. If these eagles truly had an ill intention, the villagers would be easily slaughtered by these beastmen for sure.
Tang Shaoyang did not have much time since the knights were approaching. If he rejected the eagle beastmen's proposal, he had to fight the knights alone, and there was a possibility the incident would be repeated.
'Their King wants to meet me, and they don't show any hostility either to me or to the villagers,' after a short consideration, Tang Shaoyang reached the scaly hand.
The glow on Wen's forehead was glowing brightly. Tang Shaoyang felt a warm current entering his forehead. He did not feel uncomfortable, at all, but he suddenly felt a string of connection between him and the Jade Eagle in front of him.
”Bring them to our place!” Wen looked up and ordered his people while Tang Shaoyang instructed Arina to follow the Jade Eagle, ”You tell everyone in the village about our situation and his oath, tell them to follow the beastmen, this is an order!”
