The First Magic World War

Elephant Man Argon was reluctant to discuss with Charles why the Blood Ancestor had come yet never showed himself, because this matter was a disgrace to the Beastman, the Vampire had completely taken the Beastman for fools and played with them.

Qiudelo likewise knew the inside story but did not want to mention it to anyone either; he also felt that it was truly shameful. At the time of the Beastman alliance, there were those who opposed it, such as Tumishen who was very against the Beastman getting involved in the war between the two great empires, but it was to no avail, the Old Leopard Man was not a significant figure within the Beastman alliance.

The three Sacred Order members of the Beastman alliance had the strongest power with Samson the Minotaur at the top, holding the highest position within the alliance; he fully supported the alliance's deployment of troops. This was why, after retreating to the vicinity of the Red Dragon Strait and setting up the Beastman camp, he handed over the camp to Amisfida with a bow and left with only his own people, due to a guilty conscience.

As Qiudelo reflected on what kind of future the Beastman should have,

he heard someone reporting from below, "Great chieftain, Red Cliff City lies ahead."

Qiudelo had chosen Red Cliff City because it had the largest port among the dozen cities on the northern shore of the Red Dragon Strait, making retreat to the southern continent easier in case of emergencies, however, he didn't have any ships at the moment, a problem that still needed solving.

Qiudelo remembered that Black Dragon had assured him that a fleet of ships would be transferred to him, and he felt slightly relieved. Ever since Black Dragon had last advised to secretly execute all non-cannibalistic members, and personally led the Lizard Tribespeople to carry out the task only to encounter Samson, resulting in the loss of that batch of food and even the Lizard Tribespeople themselves, he had become very peculiar, often suggesting various ingenious ideas.

In the past, Black Dragon had kept a low profile; although everyone knew he was one of the few intelligent individuals among the Beastman, possessing great wisdom, he rarely took part in the affairs of the tribal alliance. He was neither in favor nor against the deployment of troops, maintaining a calm silence. Later, when they had retreated to the Red Dragon Strait, he refrained from interfering in other matters beyond his own tribe.

Now, Qiudelo thought he could "understand" that Black Dragon probably had no tribe left, hence all his "thoughts" were invested in other Beastman tribes.

He gave the command, and the Beastman army of over thirty thousand began to make their way into Red Cliff City.

Red Cliff City was a city built upon a cliff; much of its architecture was originally part of the mountain cliff. Despite the ravaging by the Beastman army, it was not greatly damaged, over ninety percent of the houses were still inhabitable.

Only after the Beastman army had entered Red Cliff City did Qiudelo enter last. When he looked out from Red Cliff City toward the Red Dragon Strait, he immediately revealed a look of joy, because he saw a fleet of ships sailing vigorously toward Red Cliff City. He immediately yelled, "Something's wrong!"

For this fleet was not coming from the Beastman camp but from the opposite direction.

He wondered to himself, "Could it be Dubrovnik's fleet?"

"There was supposed to be a Beastman tribe of over ten thousand coming from there, but there had been no news for a long time. Could they be trying to rush to the Beastman camp from the Red Dragon Strait?"

Qiudelo quickly dismissed his own speculation, his complexion turning ashen because the Beastman didn't have Magical Alchemy Warships. This fleet's flagship was a Magical Alchemy Warship; it could only belong to the humans, either from Fars or Inglima's warships.

Qiudelo didn't believe that even the formidable Magical Alchemy Warship could attack a city on land, but he was still puzzled and wanted to know why this fleet appeared here. He also didn't think that the human empires had the spare capacity to attack the Beastman, he was baffled for a moment.

Before he could understand why there would be a human fleet outside Red Cliff City,

he received yet another shocking piece of news—his Silverback Ape Person hurriedly reported, "Someone has blocked the gates of Red Cliff City."

Qiudelo tensed up a little and asked, "How many people?"

The subordinate answered truthfully, "Nine!"

Qiudelo could not help but laugh derisively, "Just nine people? What are you panicking for?"

But this Beastman was a bumbling speaker and in his haste, he couldn't articulate the situation clearly, becoming sweaty and anxious.

Seeing his subordinate's demeanor, Qiudelo felt a bit strange and said, "No need to panic; I'll go take a look myself."

This Silverback Ape Person strode towards the city gate and indeed saw nine warriors blocking the gate.

He growled, pulling a dark, heavy iron stick out of his ear, without wanting to say a word, he started fighting.

Charles felt a certain fondness for this Silverback Ape Person.

There's no helping it; any Chinese person would like a monkey.

When Qiudelo pulled the dark, heavy iron stick out of his ear, Charles's fondness tripled instantly; if only he were Cao Cao, he would definitely say, "Hold your fire, who will capture this monkey alive for me?"

Unfortunately, Charles was also aware that not even the Golden Ram Herolf could defeat this Silverback Ape Person, and regarding the other Sacred Order members, he needed to ask politely and could not give orders. Yet, in a life-or-death situation, it would be disrespectful to ask someone to show mercy.

Charles certainly could not utter such a mindless proposition; he could only regretfully think to himself, "If only this monkey could be captured alive, I could use a Magic Contract. But Antonio is unlikely to need many moves before he kills this monkey."

The Old Leopard Man saw Qiudelo taking out the dark, heavy iron stick from his ear, and his face changed drastically, he warned in a low voice, "Everyone, be careful, this is one of our Beastman's ten great sacred weapons, the Dragon Slaying Stick!" Enjoy new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
