Chapter 144

"How has the army's rest gone?"

The old Lion King asked again.

Oldington said, "Reporting to Father King, the army has been weary for some time now. One more day, and we can set out!"

The old Lion King clapped his hands.

Immediately after, two lion warriors lifted up a suit of armor.

"This is a divine armor that has received a blessing from the gods. The Centaur race somehow got hold of a mage of at least Fifth Rank, and it was that mage who killed Bert. Put on this divine armor, and you won't need to specially defend against that mage's magic!"

The old Lion King said.

Oldington's eyes lit up when he saw that suit of armor.

This divine armor was once worn by the old Lion King himself in his younger days — he hadn't expected it would be bestowed upon him!

Did this mean the old Lion King's thinking had shifted somewhat, and he was preparing to pass the position to him?

Thinking of this, Oldington's spirits lifted, and he said:

"Rest assured, Father King. I will bring back that mage's head!"

Early the next morning, the lion race's army set out in full force!

This battle was one for the lion race to display its strength.

The lion race and the tiger race had fought for a full month, and many races assumed the lion race's strength had been damaged, secretly making some moves.

For instance, powerful races like the wolf race.

Therefore, for this battle, the old Lion King specially invited people from these races to come watch!

Even if the old Lion King hadn't invited them, these races would definitely have sent people to secretly observe the situation of this battle, to infer how much strength the lion race still had left.

The old Lion King simply invited them — if you want to watch, then I'll let you watch to your heart's content!

This time, the lion race dispatched a full sixty thousand elite lion warriors!

These lion warriors were powerfully equipped, outfitted with fine gear, and when they moved, their steps were perfectly uniform.

Moreover, these lion warriors' morale was at full tilt!

You have to remember, they had just defeated the mighty tiger race!

"I didn't expect the lion race to still have so many powerful warriors after defeating the tiger race!"

Beside the lion race's army, there were quite a few people from other races in the beastman nations.

The one who had just spoken was a wolf with gray fur.

"The Centaur race and the Cat race are done for this time. The Centaurs' strength is actually not weak — unmatched in the western region. I don't know why they got mixed up in the Cat race's affairs this time."

A beastman chieftain with wings on its back — this was a member of the Winged One race.

"Haven't you heard? A Centaur force of a thousand ravaged the lion race's territory for three days, killing several thousand lion warriors, and even the Lion King's eldest son, Prince Bert, was killed."

Beside them, a well-informed snake-man spoke up.

"Oh? Tell us quickly."

Upon hearing this snake-man's words, people from the other races all showed curious expressions.

That snake-man then recounted the news he had heard, and the surrounding beastmen from seven other races clicked their tongues in wonder.

"Judging by this, this battle does have something worth watching."

"It's also hard to say — the Centaurs' numbers are still a bit too small. The entire Centaur race is only about a hundred thousand or so, and being able to put out ten or twenty thousand warriors would already be impressive."

"That thousand Centaurs might have gotten their equipment from the human nations in the west. But this time the lion race has dispatched sixty thousand troops, and there's also the powerful Oldington. If I'm not mistaken, Oldington is Already Sixth Rank now, right?"
