Chapter 90: 90. The Impatient Sileiyin

In the afternoon, with the sun slightly slanted, the young Lauren walked for over thirty miles without a moment's rest, carrying Jennie's handwritten letter, and finally arrived at the edge of the Huitu Tribe.

By this time, his entire body was soaked with sweat, and he stumbled as he walked, as if he might collapse at any moment.

His face was covered in dust and exhaustion, and the light had faded from his eyes, leaving only the agony of a journey that had yet to end.

He could have avoided being this tired, but he had run the final few miles on purpose, all to make his state appear as if he were exhausted to the point of death.

This was Jennie's requirement.

Only when Lauren was gasping for air could the urgency of the matter and the criticality of the situation be highlighted, and only then could Sileiyin be convinced of the plight she and Ailin were in.

"Finally here!"

The Huitu Tribe was different from the Qingzhu and Ziguo tribes; it was populous and situated on the "front line," so there were several two-man patrol teams scouting the perimeter. Lauren happened to see one and hurriedly stumbled toward them.

"Help... help... help!"

The two patrolmen soon heard the sound and spotted Lauren's figure. "Who goes there!"

Lauren hurriedly took the handwritten letter from his bosom. "Ziguo Tribe... Magician Jennie, seeking, seeking the rescue of Lord Sileiyin!"

He ran two steps, then with a thud, he collapsed headlong onto the ground.

Seeing this, the two patrolmen immediately ran over; they knew of the Ziguo Tribe—they were allies.

They had also heard of that beautiful female Magician named Jennie, who was the very woman their leader dreamed of.

"Quick, help him up to see the Lord Leader!"

The two dared not delay, supporting Lauren on both sides as they ran toward the fortress.

The fortress of the Huitu Tribe could be considered the most primitive of noble castles, with many parts being wooden structures; if Luoning saw it, he would definitely think of using fire attacks and would greet them with the Fireball Technique right away.

However, the tower and stronghold at the very front were built of stone, looking quite thick and sturdy.

The stones smashed down and arrows shot from above posed a significant threat to Luoning's soldiers, and a direct assault would result in certain losses.

At this moment, in the stronghold's great hall, the leader of the Huitu Tribe, Sileiyin, sat on the main chair. He was burly and rugged in appearance, but his eyes were very small, making him look somewhat uncoordinated.

He was currently staring at a middle-aged man beside him, asking anxiously, "How is it, Mamu? What does the letter say?"

It was no fault of Sileiyin for being anxious; he was truly illiterate and could not even write his own name.

The Mamu before him had once been a member of the Ziguo Tribe, and later, having developed a good relationship with Sileiyin during their cooperation, he had joined the Huitu Tribe.

Mamu was literate. "My Lord, this is indeed Jennie's handwriting, and the content is exactly as Lauren said. She and Miss Ailin have been imprisoned by Huoen and subjected to abuse. She wrote this letter specifically hoping you would step in to save her and her daughter. As a token of gratitude, she will agree to your former request."

"Hahaha, good!"

Sileiyin laughed heartily. Thinking of Jennie's appearance and the little girl Ailin's appearance, the smile on his face grew even more radiant.

As the leader of the Three-Party Alliance (self-proclaimed), not having obtained the most excellent woman of the Three-Party Alliance was a matter that left him unsatisfied.

This was a rare opportunity!

"Mamu, go notify Babulin and the others. Bring a few agile men, we will mount our horses, and go to the Ziguo Tribe right now to rescue Jennie and Ailin!"

"My Lord, I feel this matter is a bit strange."

Mamu frowned slightly. "As far as I know, that Huoen does not seem like the type to abuse Jennie. His personality seems quite honest, and he is very respectful toward Jennie."

"Heh, what do you know? That Huoen looks honest, but he might be full of malice; I suspect he has long been dissatisfied with Jennie in his heart."

Sileiyin wore a look of mockery and sneered. "Now that he has promoted to Advanced, he thinks he is something special, and that hidden, filthy heart has finally been exposed, wanting to regain some face at the expense of Jennie and her daughter!"

"But my Lord, I still feel something is abnormal..."

Sileiyin took a deep breath. If Mamu were not an Intermediate Knight and the second-strongest expert of the Huitu Tribe, he would have already started cursing; for now, he still had to show some respect.

"You don't understand this woman, Jennie. If she hadn't been pushed to a certain point, she would never have asked me for help."

He knew Jennie hated him, but so what? Once today passed, she would be his woman, and it would be mother and daughter together—just thinking about it was exciting.

"Rest assured, I will not be blinded by beauty."

Sileiyin said to Mamu, "Going over today, rescuing Jennie and her daughter is secondary; taking over the Ziguo Tribe is the most important thing. Once we absorb the Ziguo Tribe, Wili of the Qingzhu Tribe will be nothing to worry about. Once we have the same scale as the Heiling Tribe, we can also build castles, construct high towers, and live a life many times better than now!"

"Mamu, go gather the others to accompany me to the Ziguo Tribe now!"

Sileiyin would not give up this opportunity. "So what if that Huoen has become an Advanced Knight? I am also an Advanced Knight, and I have you and Babulin, two Intermediate Knights, and three Primary Knights; we have absolutely no reason to fear him!"

Seeing that the leader's mind was made up, Mamu could only choose to accept.

Although he felt there was something fishy, it was indeed as Sileiyin said: even if there were something fishy, they were capable of handling it.

Even if the Ziguo Tribe and the Qingzhu Tribe joined forces to harm them, they would still be able to cope.

As for the Heiling Tribe, having just finished the autumn harvest, they should be busy dividing and handing over grain, so they should have no time to raid them for the moment.

"Very well, my Lord, I will go prepare. However, we had best return within three days; otherwise, it will be troublesome once the Heiling Tribe learns we have left."

"No problem!"

Sileiyin nodded in agreement. Mamu's brain was still good, which was the reason he had enticed him to join the Huitu Tribe.

"Lauren, you have done well!"

He sat on his chair, looking down from above at the exhausted Lauren; by now, he already viewed the man as his own subject.

"From now on, live in the Huitu Tribe with peace of mind alongside your master. I have already had someone prepare lunch for you; you may go down now to have a full meal and get some good rest."

"Thank you for your arrangements!"

Lauren stood up and bowed. "My master, Jennie, and Miss Ailin are waiting for your rescue in a damp little hut in the Ziguo Tribe. Please do not keep them waiting too long!"

"Rest assured, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, you and your master will meet again!"

Sileiyin's mood was extremely pleasant at this moment. He wished he could sprout a pair of wings to fly to the Ziguo Tribe, kill Huoen, and then kick open that dilapidated hut in the posture of a hero to show Jennie and Ailin his strength.

"Pah, a defeated opponent—now that he has become an Advanced Knight, has he forgotten that he was my defeated opponent?"

Sileiyin felt nothing but disdain for Huoen in his heart and had never considered the latter his rival. "This time, I will show you what a true Advanced Knight is!"

Soon, Mamu had assembled everyone.

Aside from himself, Sileiyin, and Babulin, this expedition included three Primary Knights and five cavalrymen.

These eleven horses were the entire assets of the Huitu Tribe, obtained only through several prisoner exchanges with the Heiling Tribe and by purchasing them from outside.

This was also the point of pride for Sileiyin; after all, in the Three-Party Alliance, he was the only one who had a horse, and it was precisely for this reason that he had attracted Mamu to join back then.

With eleven people, it was possible to defeat the Ziguo Tribe, but it would be somewhat difficult to control the people there.

Fortunately, this time they were going to rescue the leader of the Ziguo Tribe; as long as they rescued Jennie, the people of the Ziguo Tribe would submit.

Sileiyin swept his gaze over the team, his eyes bursting with heroic spirit, "Let's go, we're setting off!"
