Chapter 1891: This is a Threat

"So..." Qiongsi said with delight, "You intend to wipe out these invaders in one fell swoop?"

"Otherwise what? Why keep these threats around?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "The reason the Pope was highly respected back in the day, and why everyone believed in them, was because they drove out the Werewolf Clan and the Blood Clan during the ancient Dark Age."

"They allowed the people of this continent to live and work in peace. Back then, they truly played the role of saviors, which is why, even after so many years, they remain the faith in many people's hearts."

"It's a pity that the current Pope has changed." Qiongsi shook his head helplessly.

"Anything that exists for too long will lose its Initial Embrace; the Pope is the same." Chen Yu turned back to look at Qiongsi and said, "This world will always be here, but the Pope will not."

"Yes, Mr. Chen. I will call up a private armed force now, about five hundred men, all under your command," Qiongsi said.

"Fine, I'll give An'er a call and borrow his heavy weapons for a bit," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Tonight, it won't be very peaceful."

"Good, I'll go contact the private armed force now." Qiongsi's eyes lit up; he hadn't been this excited in a long time.

Dao'erge fled all the way back to an uninhabited canyon three hundred kilometers north of Yizhou.

This place was desolate and uninhabited, and because of mining pollution from decades ago, not a blade of grass grew.

Although decades had passed and the radiation from the mining had long since disappeared, the ecology had not yet fully recovered.

Moreover, no one usually came here; after all, this place was a wasteland where wild beasts roamed.

But in the depths of the canyon, in that secluded place, dozens of campfires were burning.

Hundreds of werewolves were gathered here. After Dao'erge fled back, he transformed into human form and collapsed before a fire, gasping violently for air.

"Dao'erge, what on earth happened?" an accomplice asked. "Why did you come back alone? Where are the others?"

"That's right, you took more than twenty accomplices with you when you went out. Where are the others?"

Everyone crowded around to interrogate Dao'erge. Seeing that he had returned alone, everyone felt a sense of unease.

"We ran into an Eastern expert." Dao'erge gasped for a long time before he slowly raised his head. "Our brothers... except for me, have all gone to meet our ancestors."

The cave with hundreds of people instantly fell silent. After a long while, with a buzz, everyone began to discuss it.

"Dao'erge, is what you're saying true? Why would this happen? What kind of expert could slaughter our twenty-plus brothers?"

"Yes, what exactly is the situation? Tell us clearly."

"Why are they all dead, and only you came back alive? What is going on here?" Everyone crowded around, asking with expressions of disbelief.

Their eyes glowed with a ghostly green light, and some were already on the verge of transforming.

This matter made them extremely angry; they believed the Werewolf Clan to be the most valiant existence in this world.

They could not accept that their accomplices had been wiped out by a single person.

"I came back to tell you that the situation has changed. The Shilaike Family has an Eastern expert. Someone must go back to report to the Wolf King so we can make other plans," Dao'erge said as he stood up.

The scene fell silent once more. After a long while, one werewolf set out on the mission to return to the Snow Plains to report the news, while the others were to stand by in place.

"Is that Eastern expert really as strong as you say?" someone asked.

"Yes, ridiculously strong. And I know he hasn't even used his full strength yet. His power is at least comparable to the experts in our Werewolf Clan's association," Dao'erge said, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Such a strong person killed everyone else, so why did he let you go?" a werewolf who was slightly more intelligent suddenly asked.

"Are you questioning me for being a deserter?" The veins on Dao'erge's forehead bulged, and he roared, "I have already explained it to you all."

"I needed to come back to tell you the situation here; otherwise, there would be even greater casualties. I am not a deserter."

"That's not what I meant." The werewolf shook his head and said, "He could kill so many of us in one blow; logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to escape at all."

"But he let you go. Could it be that after letting you go, he followed you quietly to find us?"

"Impossible." Dao'erge flatly denied the other's claim. "My speed is extremely fast, and my perception is very keen. I can be certain no one followed me, and he doesn't know we have others at this stronghold, so he wouldn't have followed."

"You can't be so absolute, Dao'erge. Humans have always been very cunning," a werewolf said with a gloomy expression. "Regardless, we must be prepared, or... we should take the initiative to attack."

"Take the initiative to attack?" Everyone's expression changed slightly; the weight of these words was truly a bit too heavy.

If they took the initiative to attack, it would very likely disrupt all their current plans, and no one knew what the future would hold.

"Yes, take the initiative to attack. We have already been exposed. Even if they don't come looking for us, the Pope will sooner or later. We have an agreement with the Pope not to step out of the Snow Plains. If they find out, they will wipe us out."

"Then let's take the initiative to attack." Dao'erge's eyes turned ghostly green, and he shouted, "I also want to avenge our fallen brothers. I must capture that guy."

Just at this moment, a high-pitched howl suddenly rang out from the canyon, and these howls became increasingly urgent.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. This was the distress signal sent by their forward sentries; this sound meant that the enemy was attacking.

And listening to how increasingly urgent the signal became, it was clear that the vanguard of the sentries could no longer block the enemy's advance.

"Attack!" Dao'erge roared and transformed instantly.

"Dao'erge, the Wolf King has an agreement with us: if our stronghold is discovered, we should leave here immediately, not go head-to-head with the enemy," a werewolf shouted.

"That is a cowardly act! If anyone is willing to follow me, then take the initiative to attack now. If you are afraid, you can leave now," Dao'erge roared. "Warriors, fight for glory! The Werewolf Clan never yields!"

Roar... A heaven-shaking roar erupted, causing the entire canyon to hum and vibrate. Almost none of the hundred-plus werewolves retreated; they gathered together and charged out with Dao'erge.
