Chapter 158: There Will Be No Discussions
In the woods of the Land of Heritage, a lizard and a man were chasing after a lizard and a snake.
Considering the enemies’ higher combat power, Vigilante A kept a distance from them and waited for a good time to strike.
As the snake and the lizard left the forest and made a turn toward the hills, Fang Ning realized they were not heading toward the walled city in the valley but another direction…
…
King cobra and Forest Lizard were discussing their next move with telepathy.
Forest Lizard said, “Sir Shaz, why aren’t going straight to the walled city? With my power, we won’t need help from other people.”
Its thought was simple. ‘The more demons involved in this, wouldn’t there be more demons to share the Faith of Indian people with? It would be better if fewer demons get a share of the Faith. The best case scenario would be if Shaz died in the hands of the Chinese…’
Shaz said, “No. There’s a fire dragon around, it has a way to break through the demons I control, as well as wielding a combined skill with the Chinese. The attack range is huge, and it’s powerful. Even I would be hurt trying to take it head-on. If you were to use your spells, you won’t be able to evade, and that skill will kill you on the spot.”
Forest Lizard was stunned hearing that. ‘Shaz was already so strong on its own. I knew about its vicious ways and how it improved itself so quickly, but even then, it gave the enemy such high praise, it must not be lying to me.’
Forest Lizard asked quickly, “Sir, do you know what skill that is? Can we even overcome that?”
Shaz’s eyes reflected a glint of cunningness before its coarse voice said, “They’ve announced the name of the skill, it was Vanquishing Slash of Tiandao or something. I’ve already thought of a way to nullify that skill. Don’t ask so many questions, just follow what I say, and you will know how I plan to overcome it…”
The cunning king cobra must not have thought that the name Vanquishing Slash of Tiandao was coined out of feigning badassery and sounding cool. The real skill name would only appear in the system notifications…
Forest Lizard said in an attempt to flatter, “How idiotic can someone be to call out their own attacks? No wonder you could immediately think of a way to counter it.”
Hearing the compliment, Shaz’s eyes glinted with a cruel grin before it looked up to the sky.
As of that moment, a microscopic black dot was darting about in the sky…
…
Simultaneously, at the walled city.
At an empty space in the valley, but quite far from the walled city, a market full of mixed races was going on.
After a few days without berserk monsters, the valley started calming down again.
Many demon tribes that were used to trading with the Chinese people were brave enough to begin selling wares again, seeing the battle was over.
They had heard about the battle that happened in the recent past.
The Chinese had just been evicted from their lands by king cobra’s entourage. They would definitely need plenty of supplies, and more importantly, food and medicinal pills.
Luckily, these things were abundant in their tribes.
Even though the Land of Heritage was small, their Vitality was rich, allowing plants to mature quickly in addition to growing bountifully.
It was not clear why, but none of the tribes could prosper more than the others. That was why there was always an abundance of supplies for everyone, to the point that many had rotten. Wars seldom happen among tribes because of that, keeping the Land of Heritage relatively peaceful.
Due to that, the Chinese were able to develop without problems for a dozen years until the Indians came in and broke the balance.
The three elders of the Truth Department did not stop the market from happening.
According to the true dragon, the upcoming battle might be a protracted war. Now that they had lost contact with the outside world, it might be best if they could replenish their supplies from local sources.
It had been relatively sunny in the recent past. With drones covering every corner of the place, they would be informed as soon as danger approaches.
With tribes starting to flock in, the market bustled with noise and liveliness.
After a while, an adult Whitetail Monkey led a group of its tribesmen of differing ages. Each of them had a big basket on their heads filled with fruits and vegetables as they marched through the market.
“It’s the Whitetail Monkey Tribe,” said a young demon as it stared enviously at the monkeys. They were one of the Four Great Tribes in the Land of Heritage with more population, more land, more wares to offer, more money…
Some of the black-uniformed members of the Truth Department in charge of market trades had approached the group of monkeys for their wares.
Due to being one of the friendliest tribe toward the Chinese, the black-uniformed men were extra enthusiastic toward them.
At the end of the day, work is work. The men in black checked everything carefully and realized that the wares are of the highest quality and freshly picked.
They started calling for support and wheeled the basket of crops away in a cart.
Another team of humans wheeled in another cart, filling the emptied baskets with colorful toys and books.
