Chapter 719 - Brainless (1/2)
Abyssal aura filled the area.
Lodney stood at the front of his army, his hands behind his back as he looked at Lin Yun's group.
Lin Yun slowly walked over and calmly looked back at Lodney.
The pressure kept intensifying.
Enderfa started rousing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel while the others made their casting preparations. The mana fluctuations were like gales spreading in their surroundings.
It looked like the battle would soon break out again, when Lodney suddenly said, ”Be careful, the Dark Elves are no good. Someone in their clan wants to harm you, and it looks like Cohen was colluding with them in a plot to target you.”
Lin Yun smiled. ”Don't worry, I can settle my own issues.”
Lodney remained silent for a moment before waving his arm, making the army give them a path.
Lin Yun led his group to pass through the army, everyone vigilant of the surrounding Ash Beastmen.
After passing through the army of Beastmen and just before they were going to leave, Lin Yun suddenly turned and looked at Lodney. ”Let me offer you a small piece of advice. If your goal is that gate, you had better not touch it. That thing isn't something you can touch.”
Lodney frowned but remained silent.
Lin Yun then led everyone away.
Lodney pondered for a moment before waving his hand. ”Forward!”
After a short time, Lodney found the gate.
But he wasn't happy at all, he actually felt a chill when he saw that huge gate.
Lodney stood in front of the gate for a long time before confirming that this definitely wasn't the gate from the tribe's prophecy.
But how could Lodney not extend his hand to push it?
Just as he extended his hand with some hesitation, he heard some loud sounds not far from there.
”Hey! What are you doing? Don't you have eyes? How could you dare stop the Black Dragon Warlord!”
Lodney frowned and turned around to see the elite guards in the back being pushed away by a group of robust Ash Beastmen, one of whom had a long scar across his face and was wearing a black cape.
Lodney's expression sank when he saw that person.
”Black Dragon Warlord, are you trying to start a war?”
The Black Dragon Warlord had an icy expression as he scanned his surroundings before loudly questioning, ”Where is Cohen? How come I don't see him?”
Lodney remained silent.
The Black Dragon Warlord immediately sneered, ”I heard Cohen was killed. I thought it was a rumor, but I hadn't expected it to be true. Lodney, I always felt that you were a waste, but I hadn't expected you to be that trashy. You didn't even stop the enemy. The Army Overseer was killed and I see that the Flame Dragon Warlord gave up.”
Lodney coldly answered, ”Cohen colluded with the Dark Elves and set up a powerful enemy for us. It is unavoidable that he was killed, and even if he didn't die, I would have immediately reported this to the Elder Council and made the Elder Council punish him.”
The Black Dragon Warlord was immediately angered and raised his voice while pointing at Lodney. ”Lodney, don't think I don't know, you are the one colluding with the Dark Elves! Cohen discovered your secret and you killed him to silence him!
”You think I don't know what's going on? There were so few people on the other side, how come you didn't block their path and actually let them leave?
”Cohen is a true warrior of the tribe, he never compromised when fighting the enemy! And don't you know how important the tribe's prophecy is? You actually let the Dark Elves know about it at such an important time, do you know how much damage this could do to the tribe?
”Lodney, I see that you are brainless! But for the sake of the tribe, and for the years of contributions you have done for the tribe, I'll act as if this didn't happen. You'll go back to the tribe and report this matter to the Elder Council in person. That way, the punishment of the Elder Council will be a bit lighter.” The Black Dragon Warlord said all this, pretending to be magnanimous.
Lodney forced a smile and shook his head. How could he not know the reason behind the Black Dragon Warlord's sudden appearance?
