Free Web NovelChapter 954: Chapter 468: I Will Save You All
Herbert gazed at the beastmen whose expressions were gradually losing control, and his cold words turned unexpectedly gentle: ["The tragedy, it is time to end."]
["You can break free from the past destiny and have a brand new future."]
After proclaiming the new destiny for the Beast Ear Clan, Herbert stopped speaking — the divine would not say too much to mortals.
To maintain mystery and... preserve dignity.
He turned to the Ancestor Spirit of the Beast Ear Clan standing by and silently commanded in a voice only the spirit could hear: ["Kaimora, protect my followers well."]
No longer "your clansmen," but "my followers," the difference was something he believed the Ancestor Spirit could understand.
Herbert clearly expressed his attitude, declaring sovereignty over the Beast Ear Clan.
"Yes, my Lord."
The Ancestor Spirit Kaimora had already bowed deeply, not feeling humiliated but rather extremely pleased, respectfully saying: "Your loyal servant Kaimora will serve you, even if it means sacrificing my life, I’ll protect their safety."
["No, compared to them, you are a bit more important."]
Herbert rolled his eyes and said with a pout: ["If you sacrifice yourself needlessly, haha, don’t blame me for being unkind to the Beast Ear Clan."]
This Ancestor Spirit, haha, you wouldn’t want your clan to be bullied in the future, right?
["Besides, I’m not threatening you, think carefully about the pros and cons yourself."]
Indeed, words like this shouldn’t be heard by other members of the Beast Ear Clan; it would damage my kind and benevolent image.
No, this has nothing to do with my identity.
What does Divine [Lord Herbert] have to do with my Paladin [Herbert]?
No relation at all!
"..."
Kaimora: ?
Eh, is your true target, actually me?
Why?
Is... because I can "flip"?
Kaimora instinctively thought of this but dared not ask further.
Better not to ask, what if asking leads to actually flipping?
The lives and future of the clan are in their hands; how could he dare to resist!
At this moment, Kaimora could only cautiously choose his words, nodding gently, slowly saying, "...I understand, rest assured, I will never sacrifice needlessly."
Herbert was very satisfied with Kaimora’s attitude, subtly nodding before manipulating Kathy’s body, tapping his toes lightly, and flying toward the battlefield ahead.
Upon leaving the camp, Herbert’s expression slightly changed, his brow furrowed.
"...Although assured them, but this big guy now, how to solve it using methods befitting divine [ease of solution]?"
Bragging has been done, how to keep dignity before the followers, depends on the next steps.
The tree man turned by the Withered, if you think of it as a dungeon, could roughly be called [Madness Bramble Tree Man Fallen Super Giant Creature].
Definitely not weak, with early stage Epic strength, added to the massive size and strong regeneration ability, it could roughly be seen as mid to late Epic existence.
Hard to kill... hmm, really annoying.
But solving it is not a problem.
The chaotic state of the Withered clearly lacks much reason, the danger level drops somewhat.
Neither Fremay, nor Eliza, nor Svanni, none of the three can alone be its opponent.
But if it turns into a three-person partnership, with mutual cooperation... then there is not much danger.
Maybe can’t win, but probably won’t lose.
Their combination was not Herbert’s random arrangement but carefully considered.
Fremay can serve as long-range Magic output, Svanni controlling flesh can serve as melee damage absorption, Eliza can serve as a bleed-inducing agile assassin roaming in the shadows.
With long-range output, close combat absorption, enchantment assassin... considered a barely qualified three-person team, exerting strength reaching Epic Level.
After a moment of trial, they’ve already found the knack, successfully containing the tree man, leading it continuously in another direction.
Still the same problem, the current difficulty lies in how to "elegantly" solve it.
Since I, the "divine," am taking action, surely we can’t use excessively awkward methods.
Slowly wearing it down isn’t elegant enough.
Moreover, if dragged until dawn, unpredictable changes could occur.
Quick decisive action is now the optimal choice.
"Then, should Valentina be sent in?"
Although the opponent has many names, Herbert is not afraid here.
He also has his trump card — [Strategic Level Nuclear-Type Creature Always Hungry Never Awake Frenzied Giant Dragon]!
If Valentina indeed strikes, the tree man likely wouldn’t last long.
But... there’s a tiny problem.
Herbert furrowed his brow tighter, helplessly murmuring to himself: "Valentina’s existence has been exposed under the world’s gaze before, if she appears here, the target is too large."
"If there is wrangling with others of the Natural Pantheon, it could be a bit embarrassing, even if wanting to deny, can’t deny."
"Moreover, more critically... she’s still sleeping now."
Yes.
Miss Hungry Dragon is quite wonderful, beautiful voice, large chest and long legs, except being able to eat and loving sleep, she’s loyal and capable.
The small problem not much beyond, when she sleeps, it’s indeed difficult to wake her...
Waking her brings a "wake-up aggression" bonus, capable of causing extra damage.
