257 Who is the Demon Lord? (1/2)

The beast horde caught the attention of the members of the Larken Clan while walking for the streets of Larken City.

Fortunately, no one dared to attack after seeing that Yale was also with the beast horde. Most of the people didn't know Yale, but he was a human, so everyone thought that he had enslaved those beasts since they didn't attack Yale.

Wyba had the looks of a half-beast at that moment, and although it was also possible for a half-beast to have beast slaves, it was difficult to say how much those people of the Larken Clan would trust into a half-beast.

There was no discrimination against half-beasts in the Revgen Empire, but the half-beasts were a minority, so most people didn't trust them as much as they trust fellow humans.

However, despite being a minority, the half-beasts had the same status as the humans in the Revgen Empire, so no one dared to hunt or enslave half-beasts without reason as it happened in the Zuatania Republic.

Yale was in a hurry to help Ange, but he thought that he should first settle the matters regarding the beast horde. In any case, Yale didn't believe that Lashar would be able to help, so Revgen was the only choice, and he doubted that he would be able to see Revgen immediately without Lashar's help.

Lashar wouldn't be able to help Yale until the people from Nacesai City and the beast horde had their places to reside, so it was impossible for Yale to help Ange before the beast horde reached the designated area.

Helping the beast horde to reach their new residence place without provoking any problem was also a way to be able to help Ange earlier.

Half an hour later, the beast horde reached their destination. That area was as a miniature forest usually used for practical training in forest environments, but at that moment, it had been closed to let the beast horde reside inside the area.

The area was very similar to the one where they had lived before, so even though it was smaller in total area, the wolves would be able to live there well.

”You shall reside inside here from now on.”

After Yale said those words, Wyba also decided to speak because that was her beast horde and she didn't want to rely upon Yale to manage the beast horde in her behalf.

”Good job! I will call you again when I need you.”

Wyba patted the leader of the wolves, and the latter liked it a lot. More than a fearsome Elder Rank Frost Wolf, it seemed like a normal dog that was happy for having been praised by its master.

”We will do anything our goddess orders to us.”

The wolf leader and the rest of the pack were extremely respectful towards Wyba; they truly adored her like a goddess and were even ready to die for her at any moment.

Seeing how those wolves acted in front of Wyba's words, Yale was very pleased and decided to try to praise them a bit.

”You have all behaved very well in the journey towards here. I don't know what would have happened if you dared to attack the people in Larken City.”

It was truly admirable that they didn't show any hostility towards the Larken Clan members. Yale had been really worried that a conflict happened between the Larken Clan members and the beast horde.

”Showing hostility towards them would have offended our Demon Lord, so we don't dare to show any hostility towards the people of this city.”

The wolf leader spoke after hearing Yale's praise. He would have appeared to be a serious leader speaking about his responsibilities if he wasn't acting like a dog at that moment due to having been patted on his head by Wyba.

Yale had never heard of a Demon Lord outside the books he had read when he was young, but he could believe that an expert with that nickname existed and that those wolfs feared that existence.

After all, they had lived in the mountains of the Revgen Empire, the empire of the experts; it wasn't that weird that an expert also lived in those mountains and had ordered them to avoid harming people of the noble clans as long they didn't have any reason to do it.

After all, even without a divine beast bloodline, it wasn't that difficult to make a beast obey some orders as long as the one giving orders to the beast was powerful enough. In the world of beasts, the strongest ruled, so it was normal that the wolves had chosen to obey someone who was far more powerful than their leader.

”Who is the Demon Lord?”

Yale wasn't sure if the wolf would reply to his question or not, but there was no harm to try to ask. After all, an expert who dared to use the name Demon Lord should be very powerful and seeing that a huge war against the True Empire was near to start, it would be great recruiting such an expert.
