In a thick forest, two big figures walked side by side. But the two figures looked smaller because of the tall trees around them.
More than a third quarter of the tree was filled with leaves. The tree could reach up to twenty to twenty-five ters tall. The lush leaves and tall trees made the two big figures look smaller.
"Is this your ho?" Pride looked around, it was so quiet and eerie. Not much different than his fogged area, but this area gave off different kinds of eerie. He felt that a lot of eyes were gazing at him through the leaves, but he saw nothing.
Yes, the two figures were Pride and Kairu. In front of the two were three flying beasts.
The flying beast was white, hairy on the head to the abdon and even on its six feet. It had black eyes and an ear that was similar to a piece of a feather, black in color.
Their size was between fifty to seventy centiters with a white wing that spanned up to a hundred centiters to one hundred and twenty centiters. Light Bombyx Mori, the rare species the two found in Jiaxing Territory.
The biggest Light Bombyx Mori stopped and turned around, "Yes, this our last ho. If not for your help, those damn undead would destroy our last ho too!" A feminist voice ca from the beast. It expressed her anger to Pride and Kairu.
The Light Bombyx Mori Tribe was at war against the zombie. It was an intense battle between the two races, but the zombie overwheld the beast with their numbers.
One by one, Light Bombyx Mori lost their hos until Pride and Kairu appeared. The two beastn helped them to fight against the zombies and slaughtered the attackers that were about to reach this area.
Pride and Kairu said nothing to react to the beast's words. It was sothing normal in the war, the weak would be wiped and beca history, and the strong ruled the land.
Pride and Kairu followed the three flying beasts without words. The two were about to et the leader of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe.
A couple of minutes later, the two entered an area where the trees stood sparsely. Then they reached a big area where the biggest tree was. The tree was around fifty ters tall. Not only was this the tallest tree, but it also had a different color of leaves as well.
While the other trees had normal green leaves, this one tree had bright red leaves. Kairu scanned the tree, he noticed white things on the leaves. A big white cocoon hung on each big leaf.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sa white beast descended from the tree, the difference was that this one was much bigger than the three Light Bombyx Mori.
It was a hundred and fifty ters long with a wing that spanned up to two hundred centiters. Another different thing was that it had golden-colored ears instead of black.
The wing was more pristine white, brighter, and purer than the three smaller Light Bombyx Mori's wings. The eyes were also different, instead of black, the big Light Bombyx Mori had dark red eyes. It was similar to a beautiful gem, Ruby.
"I am grateful to our benefactors for helping us against the zombies," a lodious voice ca from the big flying beast. Despite the pretty appearance of the beast, the two were not affected by its appearance.
"I am the leader of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe," the beautiful voice continued, "I heard from my people that you are offering a way for us to survive from the zombies' attack. I am willing to hear what solutions our benefactor offers us."
Pride and Kairu exchanged glances, 'Who's going to talk, your or ?' That was what Pride was trying to tell through his gaze. Kairu motioned with his head to let Pride talk to the flying beast.
The Demonic Ape nodded and stepped forward, "Hello!?" Pride was saying that with a questioning tone, the ape was unsure how to speak formally. It was quite awkward, but the ape continued.
"My na is Pride, and I am the Chief of the Fogged Ape Tribe," Pride started with an introduction, sothing he learned from human behavior.
"We have seen what happened to your tribe. You and your tribe seem to be in trouble against the zombie so we co to help. The solution is easy, beco the vassal of the Empire of Tang, and your tribe will be saved."
"Huh!?" A confusing response ca from the leader of the Light Bombyx Mori.
"I don't understand, what do you an by that?" The big flying beast asked.
"What part don't you understand? I will explain everything to you," Pride tried to be polite to the potential friend. He even tried to smile, but his smile was quite ugly.
"First of all, what do you an by becoming a vassal?"
"Vassal, that ans your tribe will be ruled by the empire. In exchange for that, your tribe, your kind, and your land will be under the empire's protection. aning the empire will fight the zombie to save your tribe."
There was a mont of silence in between before the flying beast continued with her queries.
"The Empire of Tang, what kind of empire?"
"It is a human empire."
"Human? Does that an your tribe is also a vassal of the empire?"
"Mnnn, my tribe is under the empire's rule!" Pride nodded proudly.
"What if we don't want to beco the vassals of the empire? Will you attack us?"
"I will not attack your tribe, but we will no longer help your tribe to fight against the zombie. Will the empire attack your tribe? I don't know, the decision is in the Lord's hand. But from my understanding, he will conquer your land too."
Yes, the reason why Kairu and Pride helped the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe was to convert this tribe to be the empire's vassal.
The two had noticed the war between the two, but the two only helped at the last mont where the Light Bombyx Mori was being cornered by the zombies. It was a smart move from Pride.
"I am afraid you don't have much ti to make the decision, my tribe, and the empire's army have entered the zombie territory. Make your decision because if you refuse my offer, we have to leave now and join the main force."
Pride tried to corner the leader of the tribe even more. If he and Kairu left the tribe, these flying beasts would crumble quickly under the zombie's next assault.

anwhile, on another side of the territory
In the quiet and empty space, a gate made of black stones suddenly appeared out of thin air. The gate ford quickly and then, the portal ford out of thin air.
The portal then enlarged, it got bigger and bigger until the portal stopped growing. Seven ters wide and three ters tall. That was the size of the portal.
A few seconds later, people started to co out from the portal. These people were wearing red plate armor, covering their soles, shin up to their head with a helt.
Holding a red shield with a sword on their waist, people kept pouring out from the portal.
