Chapter 762 - The Dark Faes' Discovery
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Nevertheless, Leon was not the only person who noticed the dark faes in the distant sky; his line of sight drew other gazes in the same direction.
However, their reactions were completely different from his.
"Demons! The spatial storm also attracted the demons!" Chief Skyhawk exclaimed before warning the others, "Keep your eyes open, everyone! The demons are scouting us!"
"What? Demons?"
"Where are the demons?"
The mention of demons immediately alerted the gathered tribes; many pairs of eyes darted around, studying the vicinity before locking onto the dark faes in the eastern sky.
They narrowed their eyes in scrutiny shortly after.
"This number… There are around fifty demons, and if these demons are only scouts, there must be much more of them on the way."
"We need to gather our forces and organize our troops; we can expect a big battle ahead of us."
"Agreed."
The tribe leaders and chiefs quickly reached a tacit understanding before facing Leon.
"Young Master Leonhardt, we will put our matters aside for now. Let us work together to fight off the demons first."
"Sure."
Although the gathered tribes and Leon had problems with each other, they were easily united once outside forces threatened them.
When Aria intended to take out the 'scouts' with her conjured ice-lightning swords, Leon immediately stopped her.
"Don't attack them. Those dark faes are my people," Leon stated.
"Them?" Aria was surprised before seeking further confirmation, "The demon raising you mentioned are them?"
"Yep, they are the ones," Leon admitted with a nod.
"Uhuh… So how did you subdue dark faes? And why the sudden interest? You're not doing this because they are pretty, right? Are you planning to introduce even demons into the harem?"
"Yes—I mean, no!" Leon quickly shooks his head and denied the accusation, "It's not like that! I'm raising them to blend in with the demons and explore the Bone Sea later."
"Is that so?" Aria looked half-convinced, but she quietly whispered with a small blush, "If you feel like it's building up too much down 'there,' you can always look for me to help you relieve it…"
"I said it's not like that, Aria…" Leon smiles wryly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but he accepts her considerate offer, "But remember, that is what you said. So don't back out on me when the time comes."
"Hmph, why would I? I'm not afraid." Aria responded defiantly, unwilling to look weak in front of Leon.
"Alright, alright. We'll continue this talk another time," Leon appeases her with a wry smile before becoming serious in the next moment. "The demons are coming. I need to let the dark faes know I have received their message."
Shortly after Leon said that, he shoots a large fire arrow into the sky.
…
Meanwhile, Saresha and the dark faes held their high altitude in the sky for some time before they began to doubt if their presence was enough to alert their lord.
"Is our Lord is coming? Did he get our message? Or does he not see us? Our Lord should be able to see us from there, right?" a dark fae raised her concerns.
At their altitude, they could see the situation in the center of the Abyssal Wood Forest; there shouldn't be any reason why their lord couldn't see them.
But without any response from their lord, it wasn't strange for their doubts to fester.
Nevertheless, it didn't take too long before Saresha and the other dark faes saw Leon's fire arrow shooting up into the sky.
"Our Lord has received and understood our warning; that fire arrow must be our Lord's signal, telling us to hide in the clouds," Saresha stated.
"I see… But does our Lord wish for us to join the impending battle with the demons?"
"With our current strength, we have no right to participate in the battle. Our Lord understands that and doesn't want us to throw away our lives—Well, this is what I think anyway."
When Saresha said that, all the good feelings the dark fae had from their body cultivation progress disappeared without a trace.
"We are still too weak and will only get in our Lord's way; let us go hide in the clouds," Saresha said.
Shortly after, the dark faes followed Saresha's lead and disappeared into the dark clouds above the Abyssal Wood Forest.
However, they didn't ascend for smashing their heads into something solid and suffering concussions from the impact, nearly falling out of the sky.
"Aiyoo, my head…!"
Saresha and other dark faes all exclaimed while holding their foreheads with painful expressions, followed by their confusion.
W-what's going on? There's something hidden in the clouds!"
…
Meanwhile, the Valiant Greyhawk Tribe failed to escape the demons' pursuit in the eastern side of the Abyssal Wood Forest and got slaughtered down to the last man.
"Fortunately, these humans didn't make it far. It would have been troublesome if they alerted their other humans of our presence," Lord Celimurt casually remarked before adding, "Perhaps we should have kept a few alive to interrogate them."
"True. We don't know how humans have been gathered in this forest," Lord Geramut added.
"Dark faes were hiding near the forest outskirts. We can back head and question them; they might know how many humans there are," Lord Setma stated.
However, the Black Jackal Greater Demon's statement immediately puts a frown on Lord Ishtalir's face.
"There dark faes in hiding? Why didn't you mention it earlier?" Lord Ishtalir questioned.
"I didn't see the need to at the time since we were catching the escaping humans, Lord Ishtalir," Lord Setma replies before adding, "It's not like those lowly dark faes will do or can do anything to us."
"Didn't see the need to? Can't do anything to us? Have you forgotten how several hundreds of Lesser Demons have died? Given the conflict between humans and demons, how can these dark faes stay alive? It didn't occur to you that them being alive is very strange?"
"This… Now that Lord Ishtalir mentions it, I also find it rather strange… But no matter how strange it is, the dark faes wouldn't side with humans…"
"Hmph, we don't know that for sure! Perhaps they have already compromised our position and fled! Where were they?" Lord Ishtalir questioned with a stern look.
