Chapter 287: Bloodline Inheritance (1/2)
Tang Shaoyang currently faced the four leader tribes of the main tribe of the Orin Forest. He recognized two of them, and his eyes landed on Kairu, 'This blockhead is truly a leader of the tribe.'
—Blockhead commented on another blockhead, kinda funny.
Tang Shaoyang accidentally shared his thoughts with the spirits. Wen and Kairu were among the four, so only two left for the introduction.
The third beastmen was a white tiger, he had the same frame as the Flaming Lion, a little bit shorter though. The ivory eyes scanned him calmly, there was no change of emotion on him even after the announcement from Rumru that the four had to follow him.
As for the last beastmen, he was not expecting to see this species to be the four major tribes of the forest. It was a short monkey, around the same height as the goblin but with reddish-brown fur.
Another surprise was the equipment on the monkey. Yes, the short monkey was fully equipped with plate armor and a high-quality spear. While the other three just wore leather clothes, the monkey had armor on his body.
”The Snow Tiger of Ivory Tribe, Frost, and The Whiz Monkey of the Armoured Tribe, Jacky. Don't look down on his small build, but their tribe is the best smith, they have produced many excellent types of equipment!” Rumru introduced his four subordinates. Wen, Frost, and Jacky bowed their heads slightly toward Tang Shaoyang.
”Tang Shaoyang, Origin Emperor of the Tang Empire. You may never hear the name that because I come from another world,” he boldly introduced himself. If he was in front of his subordinates, he would not be so bold.
It was kinda embarrassing to say it in front of his subordinates, but since none of them here, he dared to say it aloud.
The three tribes' leaders acted politely while Kairu remained defiant even in front of the old man. The Flaming Lion took a big step forward toward the old man, ”Old Man, I can't accept your arrangement! At least not until he could prove himself that he is stronger than me!” The lion beastmen basically was challenging Tang Shaoyang. Then Kairu turned toward Tang Shaoyang with a big grin, his face was telling Tang Shaoyang that the battle could not be avoided.
”Oh, really? But I heard from Wen you lose a contest against him, and Wen told me too that you can't win against him in one vs one. Unless four of you fight together against him, then you have a chance to win against him, right Wen?” Rumru's dignified voice rang.
The way the Dragon was talking now was completely different. Before, the old man was giving off the gentle and kind old man, but how he looked like a serious and stern old man.
”That's Wen's judgment, and he's wrong! Let me fight him, I will prove you wrong by defeating him!” Kairu slammed his chest while pointing his finger toward Wen.
”How about my view? In my view, you stand no chance against him, and I don't want you to throw your life away because I know that once you know that you will lose, you will go all out, I don't want that to happen,” Rumru shook his head, ”If you don't want to follow my words, you and your tribe can go independent. I will not prevent you from leaving and this includes you three too!”
Since this was the internal talk, Tang Shaoyang stepped out. He got three steps backward and let them talk.
”You know, the reason I asked you to follow him because of my selfish desire. As you already knew, I have seen the future, and this man would be the one who helps me avenge my daughter and my wife!” Rumru pointed his finger at Tang Shaoyang, ”He is the fateful man I have been waiting for. I hope you follow him to help him for my vengeance.”
The four beastmen already knew about their King's backstory and his vengeance on the human gods. Hearing that, Kairu stepped back and looked toward Tang Shaoyang.
”You are thinking if he's worth being your new King?” The Dragon asked while knowing what in his four beastmen's thoughts.
”I don't doubt your decision, My King,” Wen immediately kneeled toward the old man.
However, Frost and Jacky merely lowered their heads. It was pretty clear that there was a doubt in their hearts, and Rumru had expected that from the start.
”Hehe…” the old man let out a chuckle, ”That's because you have seen him fight before,” then he glanced at Jacky and Frost, ”Why don't you give him a chance to prove his strength? Waskin City may be the best place for him to show you guys his true strength.”
”Those knights are weak, I have killed–” Kairu tried to refute but Rumru cut in, ”Do you think they are weak? Have you forgotten who drove you and your tribes into hiding in the Orin Forest, Kairu?”
