Chapter 648: Yeah, Lets Do It (1/2)
”Whether it is arrogant confidence or foolhardiness, we will know once we confront them. Come, let us see what these Battle Masters will do,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman spoke.
”Hah, even if it is the Black Warbear Tribe, I would not be afraid of them. Our Seven Tribes Alliance isn't pushovers,” Chief Brightstar chimed.
”Damn straight,” Chief Blackdragon spat.
The tribes in the alliance may have their differences, but when facing outside threats, they are very united.
Nevertheless, Leon could not help but frown.
”Something is not right. The Black Warbear Tribe is, after all, one of the four reigning tribes of the central region. They shouldn't be stupid enough to challenge the Darkmoon Tribe without any Battle Kings,” Leon said.
”Young Master Leonhardt speaks reason,” Chief Nightraven furrowed his brows and said solemnly, ”That was careless of us. Based on an incomplete report, we nearly underestimated the enemy. They are, after all, the Black Warbear Tribe.”
”Right, there's a chance that they have Battle Kings hidden in their ranks,” Chief Valencia nodded gravely and said, ”It might be a rare occasion for us to be gathered, but it shouldn't be a reason for us to become complacent.”
”It's good that we realized early. If we just meet the Black Warbear Tribe's warriors without any preparation, we will be at a disadvantage.
Several warriors smiled wryly.
They truly felt like they were invincible when the Seven Tribes Alliance is gathered together. The combined might of seven tribes was even superior to the reigning tribes.
Meanwhile, Leon fell silent in quiet contemplation and did not make any comments, eventually drawing several gazes onto his inconspicuous self after Duna yawned beside him.
The yip-yaps of the people gathered made her bored.
Her disinterested expression caught several glances at first, but no one spoke up as no one dared to antagonize the wielder of Destruction Law.
”Is there another problem, Young Master Leonhardt?” Chief Valencia asked.
”No, it's just that everything we say as we sit here is all mere speculation. If only we can have more detailed information on the enemy's intention,” Leon shook his head before saying, ”Battle Kings hiding among their ranks is one possibility. Another possibility is that they are coming for me.”
The surrounding chiefs were stunned by his words.
”Why would they come for…” Chief Valencia slowly paused in realization.
”If the Black Warbear Tribe knows we are aware of their plans, then there's a chance that they also know about me,” Leon stated before adding, ”And if that is the case, it means there was an information leak.”
”Are you implying someone from the tribe purposely leaked information to the enemy?” Chief Valencia frowned before stating, ”That's impossible. I have a tight grasp on the information that flows in and out of the tribe.”
”I don't want to doubt you, but when was the last hunt?”
”That would be five days ago.”
”And who was on the hunting team that time?”
”That would be…”
As Chief Valencia recalled the members on the last hunting team, she suddenly fell silent with a gloomy look as if arriving at some unpleasant conclusion that displeased her.
