Chapter 328 Return to the city
Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang returned to the group and led everyone towards the city.
Upon arriving at the city walls, the first thing that caught their eye was the wide moat. The group stared blankly as the moat surrounded the towering city walls, solemn and majestic, inspiring awe at first glance.
The docile creature stood there dumbfounded. "This...this is the City of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
He turned to look at Lin Baiyan, his heart churning with turbulent emotions. This tall and solemn tribe was the city they spoke of.
Lin Baiyan smiled and nodded, "That's right, this is the moat dug by the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. To enter the city, you must first cross this river."
The docile man nodded blankly. It was no exaggeration to say that he had never seen a city so surrounded and guarded by such a wide river in all his years of life.
The others weren't much better off; even Itachi was taken aback when he saw the place.
Elder Itachi of the Weasel Tribe also came here with the group this time.
He was initially reluctant, but Itachi Tamaki's attitude was very firm, so he had no choice but to come along.
Itachi was very unwilling throughout the journey. In his opinion, nothing was more perfect than the territory of the Weasel Tribe. On the snow mountain, the Weasel Tribe was the greatest king.
Itachi had always been proud of this, even somewhat arrogant. Now, seeing such a wide river turned into a moat by the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he was quite taken aback.
Judging from Lin Baiyan's words, it seems that the moat was dug by the beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts City.
Xiong Chong was so stunned that his jaw almost dropped. The last time he came to the North, he fainted before he even reached the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. When he woke up, he was already inside the city.
At the time, Xiong Chong was preoccupied with the imminent danger of the Giant Bear Tribe and had no time to properly observe the appearance of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Upon closer inspection, Xiong Chong scratched his head with his only remaining intact arm and muttered, "What a powerful backer I've found for the Giant Bear Tribe..."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhan gave Xiong Chong a deep look. What kind of luck is Uncle Chong?
With only a vague direction, they were able to reach the north smoothly, and then, by a twist of fate, they were rescued by the orcs of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and brought back to the city. They also rescued the Giant Bear Tribe without any major incidents, and in the end, they were able to find a huge and powerful backer for the Giant God Tribe!
Thinking of this, Xiong Zhi and Xiong Zhan exchanged a glance, and their gazes towards Xiong Chong changed.
The beastmen of the Giant Bear Tribe were greatly relieved. They had originally planned to migrate as a whole tribe, and Xiong Zhan had some concerns before they arrived at the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
After all, he was far from home, so he was naturally a little uneasy. But now that he saw such a majestic and towering city, his heart, which had been in his throat, calmed down a little.
Lin Baiyan, however, felt that something was not quite right.
What's going on? It's understandable that the tribesmen didn't notice when they entered the plains, but now that the group has reached the city's patrol area, how could the orcs not have any reaction at all!
Could it be that everyone has become lax because he and Lang Cang are not around?
Led by Lin Baiyan, the group crossed the moat and arrived at the gate of the barbican.
"Don't move, I'll go check first," Lang Cang said to Lin Baiyan behind him.
Lin Baiyan grabbed Lang Cang's arm. "I'll go with you!"
Lang Cang turned around and saw his little partner's slightly stubborn eyes. He sighed helplessly, "Then you have to follow behind me."
Lin Baiyan then nodded.
The two slowly approached the door, and just as Lin Baiyan went over to knock, the tightly closed door slowly opened automatically.
Lang Cang immediately shielded Lin Baiyan behind him, warily watching ahead, and then…
After the gate opened, Hu Kuo, Hu Xia, Tu Lin, and Hu Zhen stood at the front with solemn expressions, followed by all the orcs in the city standing in neat rows.
The moment they saw Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang, Hu Kuohuxia led all the clansmen to kneel on one knee, clench their right fists and place them on their hearts, their expressions devout.
Rabbit Forest, Tiger Kuo, and Fox Xia spoke first, "Tiger Kuo of the Silver Tiger Clan, Fox Xia of the Silver Fox Clan, and Rabbit Forest of the Azure Flame Clan."
The three people said in unison, "Lead the people of all the tribes in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"Welcome back to the city, Lord High Priest!"
As soon as the three finished speaking, the crowd behind them bowed their heads in unison, "Welcome back to the city lord and the high priest."
The voices of many orcs, mingled together, were orderly and deep, echoing throughout the city.
Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang were stunned on the spot.
Behind him, the orcs of the giant bear, reindeer, and weasel tribes were completely dumbfounded by this display of power.
Lin Baiyan looked at the tribesmen kneeling in front of him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. It turned out that they had already discovered the returning group and were waiting for them here.
After a while, the people at the front, who had their heads down, did not hear Lin Baiyan's voice. Hu Kuo raised his head, his face full of wrinkles, and winked at him.
how about it?
Surprised? Unexpected!
Lin Baiyan then realized what was happening. He glanced at Hu Kuo with a wry smile, then steadied his voice, "Alright, get up, all of you!"
Hu Kuo was the first to respond, "Yes!"
Everyone stood up at Lin Baiyan's voice.
Several elders quickly went to greet him. Hu Kuo smiled and slightly shook his head at Lin Baiyan, his face full of wrinkles. Lin Baiyan immediately understood his slightly smug expression.
He was right, Uncle Rabbit Forest doesn't seem like the kind of beastman who would do these kinds of things, so the biggest mastermind is right here!
"Clan leaders, let me introduce you. These are the current elders of my Beast City," Lin Baiyan said, raising his hand and turning his head.
The gentle one smiled and replied, "Then there's really no need for that. We're old acquaintances."
Lin Baiyan then remembered that these people were the rulers of the five major tribes in the north, and he should have met them before.
He laughed and said, "I was confused. The elders should have known each other long ago."
Although Lin Baiyan always treated them as elders, in terms of status, he was actually a level above them.
Logically speaking, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is already the largest tribe in the north. In the beastman world, the strong are respected.
Lin Baiyan's status as the high priest of the largest tribe was naturally unparalleled.
Of course, Xunliang couldn't agree with Lin Baiyan that he was wrong. He quickly waved his hand and changed the subject, "After traveling for so long, I think everyone must be quite tired. Why don't we go into the city and rest for a while?"
At this moment, Yang Ye stepped forward, his attitude gentle and composed, "The city has prepared vacant houses for everyone."
After saying that, she winked at Lin Baiyan in a subtle way.
Lin Baiyan chuckled and reached out to pat Lang Cang's arm.
Lang Cang turned his head and said, "In that case, please proceed."
Welcome to the City of Beasts!
We entered a great and mysterious city.
