334 Sincerest Gratitude (1/2)
Although the human boy had a pretty solid and lean build, he was still considered scrawny compared to the rest of the Warriors and Great Warriors of their Darkmoon Tribe.
”You are too arrogant, kiddo, but I gotta commend your warrior's spirit. At least you are brave enough. If you want to gain our trust, then you should leave the charge.” The group leader spoke firmly, leaving no room for negotiations.
”That goes without saying.” Leon nodded in agreement.
He had no scruples with this arrangement. It was only natural for them not to trust an unfamiliar person and even most so, a 'banshee' with their backs.
”Alright, after we locate the weakest point, you and your… banshee friend will immediately commence the charge. We will follow after.” The group leader spoke.
Leon shook his head and said with a straight face, ”There's no need to look. I have already done that earlier while looking for a chance to join the battle. The weakest point in the Bone Army is on the northeastern side of the city. I've only approached you after realizing there were other people nearby.”
Naturally, Leon was speaking untruthfully. He had been trailing some distance behind the human group to their Darkmoon Tribe. He couldn't have arrived before them.
However, it only took a sweeping glance of his [Spirit Eyes] to locate the point with the thinnest line of undead beings in the Bone Army.
The group leader looked at Leon deeply before turning to Big Tooth. He ordered, ”Go check that area out quickly.”
”Yes, Big Brother!”
Big Tooth thumped his chest twice with honor and left swiftly. After the group waited patiently for some time, Big Tooth returned and faithfully reported, ”Big Brother, it is indeed much thinner on the northwestern side. I doubt the other side will be any thinner than this.”
The group leader nodded before carefully patting Leon's shoulder, ”I don't know which tribe you came from, but you have at least proven to be a little bit trustworthy. I don't dare represent the entire Darkmoon Tribe, but know that you have earned the goodwill of I, Great Warrior Ironhead!”
After saying that, the group leader retracted his hand before his nose suddenly twitched.
”If we make it through this Bone Calamity together, I am definitely taking you to visit our tribe's bathhouse. Even among the tribesmen that I know, no one stinks as bad as you!” Ironhead said with a frown.
He was given the impression that the boy was not part of any tribe but a vagabond living on his own. Also, this boy most likely had never washed once in his life. After all, the boy smelt like…
Leon could only smile wryly after hearing the group leader's words while feeling bitterness in his heart.
Shortly after the group arrived at the northeastern side of the battlefield, Ironhead urged, ”We'll follow-up after you.”
”En, no need to tell me twice.” Leon nodded.
This was what they had already arranged and would not change just because their impression of him had improved. It was not easy to gain their complete trust.
All he did was saved them a little bit of time. The information he provided could be gained either way.
Leon quickly unwrapped the clothed Tier 4 Bone Spear he had been carrying all this while. He had seen all the humans using bone weapons.
To strengthen his disguise as a person of the plains, he did not intend to use the black spear and only intended to use the bone spear.
The black spear was forged of rare metal and easily draw suspicion, while Soul Weapons also seemed to be mainstream on the Infertile Plains.
Ironhead and all the group members immediately narrowed their eyes in surprise when they fell on the unwrapped Tier 4 Bone Spear in Leon's hand.
'This Soul Weapon…' Ironhead hummed inaudibly in thought. He seemed to have seen this bone spear somewhere before…
At the same time, the youngest member cast a covetous gaze as he stared at Leon with jealousy. He could not accept the fact that Leon using a Tier 4 Soul Weapon.
He was a peak Warrior soon to become a Great Warrior. What gives a scrawny person like that person the right to use Tier 4 Soul Weapon when he was still using a Tier 3 Soul Weapon?
”Let's go, Lumi.” Leon wielded the Tier 4 Bone Spear and said, unconcerned with the thoughts of the group. He was not afraid of someone lusting after his weapon.
The stronger warriors of the Darkmoon Tribe all had their own Tier 4 Soul Weapon. They had no reason to eye his weapon. On the other hand, he was confident of deterring the weaker warriors with his own strength.
”Mm.”
Shortly after, Leon dashed straight into the battlefield with Lumi by his side. It was time to test the might of the Tier 4 Bone Spear!
