I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1812: 24.73 Sixth Violet Star - Night Attack

Angered by the foolishness of the people under them, both Pavilion Master Xie Yun and the old marshal, Long Huang had no other choice but to resolve the situation. At this scene, the old marshal had walked over towards those people who stole the beast eggs which were left behind, Xie Yun also followed after the old man as some of these people were from his pavilion as well.

Long Huang said, ”Take it out! It must be returned!”

”...”

The people who were lowering their heads just now are looking at these people who had caused the situation. There are some who have died because of the sudden attacks from these beasts. Not only those guys need to be compensated, even the heavily injured ones cannot continue this journey.

Tsk!

Pavilion Master Xie Yun shouted, ”What the hell are you still waiting for? Bring it out now! Or I will serve you to those beasts to be fed.”

”Xiao Xie, calm down,” said the old marshal with a bit of warning in his eyes. He knew that this was not the right time for threats as it might push these people’s buttons the wrong way and make things worse.

Sigh~

Pavilion Master Xie Yun was still respectful towards the old marshal and just glared at these people before walking away in anger. The old marshal on the other hand had talked to these people with more patiences.

Long Huang said, ”Alright. Return the beast eggs. I will give you what we have in the space insulator. These beasts won’t leave until they get back the egg that is with you. Unless you want everyone in this camp to die, we should at least get things right.”

The men in front of them had looked at each other and finally taken out the beast eggs they had taken away. Some had apologized while the others felt annoyed at heart. However, they aren’t completely fools that will put their lives in imminent danger just because of greed.

Long Huang ordered the beast eggs to be returned to the beasts. As expected, once the beast eggs were left in a certain distance, some beast took it away while giving the humans a bad stare before walking away. Only when all the bronze ranked beasts had left that the people in the camp had breathed out in relief. Most people were glaring at the people who had caused such an event. Because of this, those men who had secretly all stolen a beast egg were now isolated from the group.

There are at least three deaths and more than ten fatally injured ones. Though those who are fatally injured cannot longer continue the journey because some were missing some limbs, they wallow in despair because of this event.

Seeing this, Long Huang made a declaration.

”Those who had lost their lives will have their families compensated with at least one gold ranked beast egg, those who had lost a limb will get silver ranked eggs. Those who are injured and no longer wish to continue with the journey can receive two bronze ranked beast eggs right now.”

”If you wish to return, raise your hand for me. I will have those who had died and lost a limb to return back to the city while we are still at the outer region of the barren land.”

The old marshal’s words echoed within the come who had turned silent at his words. He waited for a while and as expected there were those who had feared death and accepted backing out. At least a dozen had raised their hands at this moment.

”Old Sir, will you truly give us one bronze ranked beast egg if we wish to return right now?”

Long Huang nodded his head and said, ”Yes. All you need to do is to bring the bodies of these three heroes back to the city for proper burial and protect your comrades who could no longer fight in their state. As long as you are successful in this mission and report to the commander at the borders, once we return I promise to give you the bronze ranked beast eggs.”

”Will this not cause us any demerits, sir?” A soldier asked.

The old marshal shook his head and said, ”No. Fear is not a sin. I wouldn’t blame you for that. There will be no demerits for it.”

The dozens of soldiers had bowed their heads towards the fair old marshal. The fear in their hearts wasn’t because of the death, but because if they died the family they had left behind will have to suffer in the end. They couldn’t take the risk especially seeing how easily three of their comrades died because of some selfishness of the people from their side.

”Thank you, old sir!”

”We will complete our mission for sure.”

”I will bring them all back home!”

Long Huang pats the shoulders of these soldiers. Though they are a bit of a coward, they are good at heart. Their promise to bring the dead bodies of their comrades back home and to escort their crippled friend safely to the human city is enough for this old marshal.

However, this kind gaze instantly turned chilly when he looked at the men who broke the rules and caused this tragedy.

”As promised you will be provided with a bronze ranked egg and be included in the mission to return to the city. I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is someone in this group who is willing to go on a journey with you after causing such a big incident. The commander at the borders will give you the final verdict after what happened is reported. Go back to the city, this is the last order from this old man!” Long Huang said.

”...Yes...”

The soldiers among this group can only feel remorse while the assassins were a bit irritated that they wanted to speak up.

”Old man who are you to—”

Swish!

A tongue fell off on the ground and it’s from the mouth of the assassin who dares to speak up rudely towards the old marshal. The other assassins were on guard but as if given a warning the person who spoke out was stabbed from the back by Pavilion Master Xie Yun without mercy.

”You know my Killer Pavilion rules. Death to those who break my rules. Have you forgotten?” Xie Yun said as a bit of blood splashed on his face as he looked at the rest of the assassins in this group.

The rest of the assassins tried to escape but they were also killed on the spot by the other assassins from the Killer Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of the Killer Pavilion watches the corpse with eyes devoid of emotions. He looks like a real killer at this moment. The old marshal didn’t stop his actions as the rules of the military are different from the rules of the Killer Pavilion. He cannot stop the head of this organization as he didn’t have the authority over it.

Pavilion Master Xie Yun nonchalantly cleaned his blade and said, ”Rules of the Killer Pavilion cannot be broken without thinking of consequences. Burn them to ashes.”

”Yes, Pavilion Master!” The other assassins from the Killer Pavilion saluted and gathered the corpses of those who had died from their organization and burned them to ashes.

Death to those who do not listen to the command of the Pavilion Master. After all, only traitors don’t need to listen to him.

Pavilion Master Xie Yun clasped his hand towards the old marshal and said, ”Thank you for not getting involved.”

”They are your people. I do not have responsibility for them,” said Long Huang. He then looked at the others and said, ”Clean up the camp and get ready to rest. I will keep on guard for tonight!”

The camp was cleaned up and reassembled. With the old marshal, a gold-ranked beast master on guard duties, people in the camp feel safer. Gold ranked beasts were spread around the camp guarding the vicinity. These are contracted beasts of the old marshal.

Back to the main city.

In the middle of the night, the Killer Pavilion and the Long Clan were attacked by a group of men in black. They sneaked in the two different territories simultaneously as if to prevent both sides from supporting one another. This is a well planned night raid.

At the Killer Pavilion’s headquarters, some assassins were on guard. Even though they already expected this attack there are still some deaths tonight especially for the ones on guard duties. These are death soldiers sent by the Pei Clan’s young master, the little devil named Pei Jin’s command.

At the walls of the pavilion, some men covered in complete black had entered. Shuffling with the shadows of the trees using it as covers as they entered inside. They had killed the ones at the walls.

”Enter into the pavilion silently.”

”Our job is to kill everyone inside and burn down the pavilion.”

”Enter beyond the walls after the guard on it was killed.”

Thud!

”We’ve entered, boss.”

”Be on guard. Kill anyone at site.”

The plan was to split as soon as they entered the walls. However, as they entered the courtyard of the pavilion they noticed that the area was eerily too quiet. The leader of this assault team shivered unconsciously as he felt danger from the unexpected tranquility of the place.

”This place is too... quiet.”

”Something is wrong!”

”Retreat!”

This is an instinctive command from the leader of this death soldier team. However, this command was done too late. They even failed to notice how close the trees are to them, looming like creepy shadows over their heads.

Swish. Swish!

As soon as countless arrows fell from above, some tree branches had captured the ankles of the intruders who entered the pavilion. Except for the leader who had voided the branches trying to catch him and got stabbed on one of the arms instead. The rest of his team was killed by those rain of arrows while he had barely avoided it. It was instant death for his team.

A man’s figure jumps down from the roof of the pavilion revealing the appearance of a cold faced elf. This man is none other than the Elf King Vega whom Xie Yun had visited before he departed to the barren land.

The death soldier’s boss glared at the elf man who obviously recognized him.

”Elf King Vega!”
