Chapter 288 - Collision (2) (2/2)

While Anri looked at Michael and shaking his head to not listen to what Gus is blabbering about.

And Old Buck on the other hand just smiled and nodded at Michael with his hand shaking while holding his cane, and the latter returned the gesture with a nod.

But what Gus said made Michael's ears perked up as he wondered why the former said that.

”And how did you come to that conclusion Gus?” Michael smiled.

Because if what Gus said is right that the Grey Orcs are really taking the initiative to attack the Ice Trolls, then this time would be the best time for them to make their way towards the Wildlands by passing through the territories of the Grey Orc Tribe, where their security around their territory would certainly loosen with their lack of Orcish personnel.

”Yes, I'll explain it to you Chief! Please follow me!”

Gus's eyes lit up when he heard Michael's question that he hurriedly gestured for Michael to follow him.

Michael looked at Storm Moonlight and Chakram, and the two nodded at him, and then they followed behind Michael.

While Anri just sighed looking at their backs.

”Gus..”

Michael followed Gus all the way to the top of the village wall, where every villager that they passed by greeted him with smiles on their faces even though they are feeling anxious inside.

”Chief, can you see that mountain that they're heading to?”

Gus excitedly pointed towards a towering mountain in the distance whose color have turned white because of the weather, and Michael and the others could clearly see that that's the direction of where the horde is heading to.

”Yes, why? Don't tell me there's a tribe of Ice Trolls on that mountain?”

Michael raised an eyebrow, it was because he clearly remembers that Carter and the Old Buck had told him before that the Ice Trolls lives like nomadic tribes, where they don't have permanent land they had settled in.

”Yes, chief!” Gus nodded like a chicken pecking food from the ground.

”Gus, shut up! The Ice Trolls don't live in one place! Stop with your nonsense!” Carter angrily yelled at Gus while hurriedly walking up the stairs leading to the top of the wall.

”You should be the one shutting your mouth, Carter! I'm not talking nonsense, what I'm telling the Chief is the truth!” Gus angrily pointed his fingers at Carter.

The commotion happening between the two men quickly attracted the attention of the others, and luckily for them, the horde is already far away from the village, else it could have attracted some unwanted attention.

But the other villagers didn't care less as they quickly went back to their duties for the day, leaving Michael and the others to their own matters.

Carter was about to argue back when he suddenly saw Chakram eyeing him from behind Michael, so he just shut his mouth and smiled bitterly while scratching the back of his head, but he didn't forget to throw an angry glare towards Gus.

”I know that our knowledge about the Ice Trolls is that they are..”
