Chapter 665 The Enemies Stealthy Pursuit
??665 The Enemies Stealthy Pursuit
Besides the Vige Chief, Stronghold Leader Zogar frowned deeply as he listened and observed the scene before him.
"Patriarch Rn, you and the other Patriarchs before you have always traded with our Vige and done so fairly. We have always anticipated your next return. So, even if nothing is owed, let it not be known that in your desperate hour, you ran over here with everything you could gather to ask for help, and we turned you down," the Vige Chief shouted.
Although the settlement of the four-eared race would be best left for Orion to decide upon, as he was in charge of Orion''s cities, the Vige Chief was sure that Orion would have made the same decision, especially since he had been extremely curioustely about the Caravans and their origins.
Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded in response, supporting the Vige Chief''s judgment.
After hearing the Vige Chief''s words, Patriarch Rn''s eyes widened in surprise as his body trembled. Honestly, although he had hoped that the Vige Chief would take pity on them and allow them to settle in the Vige, he also understood that the chances of the Vige Chief rejecting them were vastly higher than his epting. And even if the Vige Chief had refused to offer them his help, he wouldn''t take it to heart.
After all, even as a leader of his race, he understood that, before anything, the survival of your own race should be considered first.
So, he was somewhat surprised by the Vige Chief''s words before a wave of happiness suddenly surged through his heart.
"Thank you," Patriarch Rn said, slightly bowing toward the direction of the Vige Chief and Stronghold Leader Zogar, who was beside him.
Witnessing the Patriarch''s behaviour, everyone stunned by the Vige Chief''s response immediately did the same, bowing their heads in the Vige Chief''s direction.
"Thank you," they all said in unison.
"Hohoho!! Don''t thank me yet. Although I might have been enough to grant you entry into the city, there is still someone else who needs to approve before you canfortably settle within the city," the Vige Chief said with a smile, "Don''t worry about it, though, he has been expecting your visit for a while now, so I am sure that he will eagerly agree to it."
Patriarch Rn''s brows shot up when he heard the Vige Chief''s words.
City? He couldn''t help but look at the towering wooden walls, wondering if a city was within it as the Vige Chief had hinted.
"Vige Chief Brane, is he perhaps someone whom I''ve already met previously?" Patriarch Rn asked curiously.
If this person could genuinely make their life much morefortable, he was curious to know who this person was so that he could be prepared to meet him or her and better ensure that his race could further secure the agreement tofortably settle down within the city.
"Hmm, you might have seen him on your previous visit. However, it''s difficult to say if you have met him," the Vige Chief responded.
Patriarch Rn heard the Vige Chief''s words and sighed deeply, "Okay, if he is as you''ve said, then I can''t wait to meet him," he responded, understanding that he wouldn''t be able to get an idea of who this person was from the Vige Chief.
The Vige Chief nodded before shifting his attention towards the towering walls.
He suddenly took in a deep breath, "RAISE THE GATES!!" He shouted, ordering the warriors at the top of the towering wooden walls.
Within minutes, the water below them rippled with slight waves appearing on the river''s surface as they watched a path suddenly emerge. The towering wooden walls pulled open like two doors, gently sliding towards each side.
"What are you waiting for? Steer the ship forward," Patriarch Rn immediately said, seeing a path had been opened for them to move forward.
Leif nodded in response and dashed towards the boat''s steering, guiding it forward. The rest of the boats behind them followed suit.
….
Orion observed as the boats entered the city one by one. Without being told anything yet, he could sense that something had happened to the four-eared race''s home, forcing them to take such a risk and venture towards the Vige inrge numbers.
Fortunately, he had already expanded the Vige and had several spaces for them to settle.
However, if it were before, he knew their presence wouldn''t be epted, as there was no way the Vige could amodate so many people while also caring for its own.
"Huh, what''s that?" Orion said to himself as he spotted several dots in the distance.
He narrowed his eyes to get a closer look at the dots, which appeared to be approaching quickly within the river and only seemed to increase as seconds passed.
A feeling of foreboding suddenly surged from within Orion''s heart.
Suddenly, Orion noticed a shining bright dot leaving one of the ships, soaring into the air and quickly approaching them from afar.
"Shit!" Orion cursed out loud.
It was obvious that the four-eared race had not arrive alone.
Orion immediately snapped his head towards the other warriors.
"SEND THE ALARM!! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!" Orion shouted, pointing a finger towards the iing projectile.
The warriors heard Orion''s words and immediately noticed the approaching dots from afar, alongside the iing projectile, briskly hurtling through the air towards them.
As the warriors, including those still in their shape-shifting form above the towering wall, prepared to intercept the iing projectile before it reached the city—
BOOOM!!
The towering wooden walls of the city vibrated.
A familiar, resounding voice suddenly echoed through the air. "Don''t worry, I''ll handle it."
As the voice subsided, a massive wave formed on the river''s surface, instantly advancing. The wave spared the boats, avoiding harm or capsizing them until it reached the edge, where it rose high, forming a colossal wall of water that took shape.
It assumed the form of a transparent, watery image of a man they all recognized.
It was none other than Stronghold Leader Zogar!
