"What's the matter, Caglis?"
"My Lord, there's a bit of a problem," Caglis replied, glancing into the forest.
In the forest, druids were interrogating the captive golden-maned lion-n. The mbers of the Withered Wood Council clearly did not expect anyone to dare cause trouble on the front lines at this ti—let alone the fact that Brand was temporarily regarded as their ally.
This made them extrely angry and outraged, as the actions of the Tuokui two-legged cats were simply wasting their ti, and at this mont, ti was almost equivalent to life.
However, the lion-n also felt greatly wronged. They learned that the Erune envoy only brought twenty to thirty guards to trouble Brand. Even with several with Golden Power, they didn't really worry about them. Rovak and his deputy believed that even taking out these people wouldn't take much ti.
But unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned. The Cruz people didn't inform them of Brand's personal Strength, resulting in the tables being turned on them instead.
Of course, it wasn't that Faina and her group intentionally wanted to harm these guys. These noble scions were also taken aback. They originally thought that even if Brand had one or two with Golden Power by his side, they still couldn't possibly be a match for hundreds of Silver Rank lions.
It's important to know that although lion-n don't have particularly notable swordsmanship to boast of, their racial Talent for wild combat and strength prayer is also a unique combat Skill. Thus, the lion-n's combat power is extrely strong, and even average human Silver Rank beings may not necessarily be their match.
Unfortunately, Brand's subordinates were not average people.
The Fireclaw Lizardn from the Elental Plane have combat power stronger, if not weaker, than the lion-n. Qian is Thunder God's ssenger, almost an invincible existence among Gold Ranks, not to ntion she absorbed the power of the Golden Apple.
And of them all, the seemingly most ordinary Kulan himself was a Gold Middle Rank with Absolute Strength a cut above everyone else and a veteran of the November War, with battlefield Experience rich to an alarming degree.
As for Brand, his various Skills and Equipnt had long ard him into a monster of the Golden Stage existence. Even he didn't know how strong he could be in full combat status.
Therefore, unexpected circumstances created the tragedy of the Tuokui Lion-n.
But Brand didn't care about the fate of these guys. He wiped the dark blade of Harangeya, sheathed his sword, and turned around to ask, "Problem?"
Caglis sat down on Brand's side in a nonchalant manner, stretched lazily, and said in a way that made Brand startle, "My Lord, soone is plotting against us from behind."
"Oh?" Brand was taken aback.
"The Erune Envoy, and then the Tuokui two-legged cats successively ca to trouble us. I don't think it's such a coincidence," the young man replied in a low voice. "If Count Oting's trip was under the pressure of the Cruz people, then it's hard not to see the shadow of the Cruz people behind these Tuokui two-legged cats who coincidentally clash with us."
Brand suddenly realized, "Indeed." However, he frowned. Tuokui was the force of the Earth Temple. How could the Cruz people get involved with these guys?
If the Cruz people indeed intended to support Tuokui to suppress Erune, then this would undoubtedly be extrely bad news for Erune.
But would the Fla Temple agree?
Even if the Cruz people held sway over the temple's discourse, they're already violating the doctrine by doing this. The temple should not easily compromise. Even if they bear the cost, rely targeting Erune may not be worth the effort.
He looked puzzledly at Caglis.
"My Lord wants to ask how the Cruz people could persuade the Tuokui two-legged cats to cause trouble for us?" Caglis said, "It's actually quite simple, just let those two-legged cats know that Erune is no longer a threat."
"Are you talking about the news of Erune's split?"
"Yes, My Lord. It seems that the Erune Envoy couldn't contact the outside and know external information, so how did those unevolved two-legged cats learn about Erune's split?" Caglis replied, "Or is the civilization level of Tuokui already higher than Erune?"
"The Cruz people," Brand shook his head and answered. The costly long-distance Communication Technique is only possible for the Cruz people, or for Bujia's Wizards. But Bujia's Wizards, as Silver People, have always been aloof and seemingly have no need to intervene.
