Chapter 984: Chapter 347: Fearless (Double Chapter) (Part 2)

At the same time, the defending troops at Beverly Pass also extracted relevant information through interrogation. With mutual verification, the news within the letter was confirmed without a doubt.

“However… does this count as solving their reinforcements in advance?!”

Rein, riding on the Blood Feathered Horned Eagle, glanced down at the headless corpse in the pit with a peculiar expression.

…

———–

North slope of Coldfall Mountain Range.

Two Black Flame Monks wearing black robes, with flame patterns on cuffs and collars, along with several tall white-furred bear monsters, were on a high spot of hillside, observing the battle below.

In the narrow valley area, a migrating Barbarian Tribe was simultaneously engaged in battle at both the front and rear ends.

Of course, the intensity was vastly different.

The enemies at the rear of the Barbarian Tribe included a few black-robed individuals leading some knights and numerous mercenaries. The battle wasn’t intense, and it seemed more like a harassment contact fight.

In contrast, at the front of the Barbarian Tribe, the enemy consisted entirely of white bear monsters wielding Huge Wooden Hammers or Spiked Hammers, where the battle was clearly far more intense.

In terms of numbers, the white bear monsters seemed to slightly outnumber the barbarian warriors.

However, some barbarians had extraordinarily strong combat abilities, especially a particularly burly one with a Double-edged Battle Axe, who was almost unstoppable on the battlefield.

A bear monster leader with fiery red feathers on its head was steadily pushed back, relying on three extra strong bear monster guards to barely withstand the opponent.

Kroli, the Chief Priest of the Black Flame Cult, watched this scene through a copper monocular telescope, involuntarily twitching his eyelids.

Mad, this Barbarian Clan Leader is truly fierce!

Fortunately, there are white-furred bear monsters as the main force to attack this time. Otherwise, his followers would have suffered heavy casualties.

“Is there any news from Erikson, the Great Priest?” Kroli asked in a low voice, turning his head.

“Reporting to you, sir, Erikson, the Great Priest, just sent a message saying they’ve arrived at Beverly Pass. It will take half a day more, and then we can join forces.” The other black robe replied respectfully.

“That’s good.” Kroli breathed a long sigh of relief, nodding.

Such opponents are best dealt with by the Great Priest.

For now, let him be arrogant for half a day more.

“God of Hunting’s follower, you mentioned the arrival of the Great Priest earlier, why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

Apparently overhearing Kroli and the other’s whispers, a white-furred bear monster holding a white bone staff and wearing a colorful feather crown, questioned with fluent common language.

“Priest, rest assured, Erikson, the Great Priest from our cult, will arrive in half a day to deal with the Barbarian Clan Leader of Norton.”

“Hmm, I hope you do not break your promise. Our brave clan warriors are already severely injured. If your Great Priest doesn’t come, you will only receive a third of the spoils.” The bear monster priest said with an unpleasant expression.

The cooperation of the Black Flame Church, which involved exerting minimal effort, was extremely displeasing to him.

“Of course not.”

“By the way, Priest, we can send a signal to retreat for now. We’ll launch a full assault in half a day.” Kroli smiled.

He did not heed the threats of the bear monster priest.

When Erikson, the Great Priest, arrives, whoever dominates is up to whoever is stronger.

Bickering with the bear monsters now is meaningless.

“Hmm!” The bear monster priest’s complexion improved a little upon hearing about the retreat.

At least, the casualties among his warriors could be reduced.

At this moment, a white-furred bear monster suddenly ran swiftly from one side of the hillside, speaking a series of words to the bear monster priest, who immediately looked delighted.

This made Kroli curious and he asked, “Priest, is there good news?”

“Hahaha, the great Crown Kolaxius has recovered from his injuries. If these foolish barbarians choose to resist rather than join our king’s court, their doom has arrived.”

The bear monster priest, despite being wiser than most bear monsters, lacked human sophistication. Faced with Kroli’s inquiry, he gleefully revealed the situation.

“Hmm?” Kroli’s eyes flashed with astonishment!

The injuries of the Ancestor Dragon healed so quickly?

It’s not a good sign.

The relationship between him and the white-furred bear monsters was based on mutual exploitation. If Kolaxius, the Ancestor Dragon, arrived, Black Flame Church would have no say.

He was confident in Erikson, the Great Priest’s strength, but the opponent was a Giant Dragon!

When the time comes, even Erikson himself could not afford to anger such a powerful Ancestor Dragon.

He hoped Erikson would arrive quickly, to launch the full assault as soon as possible… Kroli thought to himself.

“God of Hunting’s follower, if our king arrives, I won’t have any say over the distribution of spoils. Everything will belong to our king!” At the height of excitement, the bear monster priest suddenly recalled something and spoke bluntly.

“Of course, of course!” Kroli chuckled dryly in response.

Yet inwardly, he cursed loudly, ‘Mad! A brute is just a brute, not a bit of contractual spirit!’
