Chapter 329 - 79: Return (8k)_3
However, when thinking about the four Legendary corpses and the four Black Jars that had appeared in the Magic Storage Space, a hint of a smile and satisfaction flashed across the Black Dragon’s eyes.
The tacit rule between the Ghost Race and the Demons was that the top-level powerhouses would deter each other and not act easily, only allowing intense battles between Legendary Tier One powerhouses and armies below that level.
This unspoken rule allowed Udi, the outsider, to gain huge benefits.
But opportunities like this come only once.
"It’s time to go back; once I’ve finished devouring these Legendaries, my strength will advance further, and if I succeed in refining that Legendary weapon, the Black Saber..." the Black Dragon’s thoughts continued incessantly.
The next moment, the enormous Black Dragon traversed the Any Gate and returned to the forest base.
In the forest base.
Udi, now in a three-meter-tall Dragon-man form, stood on the Teleportation Altar alongside the downscaled Six-armed Snake Demon Aoqi, Fallen Evil Giant Nurraf, Balrog Flame Demon Barrow, and followers like Roy and Bryan.
Accompanied by a faint light, Udi and his group left the Ghost Race Plane.
After their departure, the remaining two thousand-plus demons in the forest base, bereft of a ruler, quickly scattered; some hid, while others, unable to suppress their inner bloodlust, began wandering elsewhere, slaughtering the Ghost Race and devouring flesh and souls to strengthen themselves.
To the west, the thousands of Black-winged Warriors who had first descended there began to spread throughout the vast Ghost Race Plane in ten-man squads after losing the commanders Roy and Bryan.
Udi had seriously offended both the Ghost Race and the Black Smoke City Demons this time, so naturally, he couldn’t stay on the Ghost Race Plane.
Staying on the Ghost Race Plane might result in being attacked from both sides... though the probability is not high since the Ghost Race might endure it forcibly, hoping to continue using Udi’s power to strike the Black Smoke City Demons.
But Udi’s thinking was simple: the gains obtained on the Ghost Race Plane were substantial enough. After digesting the spoils and enhancing his strength, he could consider re-entering the Ghost Race Plane, or simply return after advancing to Legendary status, to unite the plane with absolute power.
For now, let the disrupted balance play out with the Ghost Race and Black Smoke City Demons fighting amongst themselves.
....
On the Tal Plane, after several months, Udi finally returned.
He turned to look at Aoqi and the other demons, thought for a moment, and made a decision,
"Go to the seas to assist the Fish People, Fitz, and the others in expanding their territorial waters."
Instead of returning to the Abyss to do nothing, it was better to stay on the Tal Plane to expand territories for the Black Wing Nest.
Moreover, the seas had sufficient food to supply these few big eaters.
"Yes." The three demons, Aoqi included, nodded as they transformed into three streams of black and red light, disappearing over the horizon.
Udi, on the other hand, returned to the Black Castle Dragon Pool, cultivating both Magic and Spiritual Martial Techniques, while waiting for the Banquet to cool down and consume the Legendaries hunted on the Ghost Race Plane.
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
Since the Yalbit Kingdom led the Barbarians back, and the Frost Elves migrated to the region, the situation in the southern part of the continent became very calm, with major forces observing and no one daring to act rashly.
But soon, the Barbarians couldn’t hold back any longer.
...
"We need more territory!"
In the Royal Court, expanded from a kingdom city, the King of Barbarians, ’Victor,’ sat on the throne with strong members of the Barbarian clan seated on the floor on either side.
At that moment, an important discussion was taking place in the hall among the Barbarians.
The discussion was over whether to expel the Centaur Clan.
With tens of millions of Barbarians gradually migrating to the kingdom area over the year, the territory allocated by the Yalbit Kingdom for them to settle and survive was becoming cramped, leading to a series of conflicts.
Now, it was time to resolve this conflict.
"We are now members of the Pan-Continent Alliance Army, and if we force other races to leave their territory, it will surely lower our approval rating with the good faction races of the Alliance Army, and may even affect our relationships with some strong figures from the good faction," a Barbarian strongman said, frowning in thought.
His words made most of the Barbarian strongmen present feel a bit of a headache.
If not for joining the Alliance Army and now representing the righteous forces opposing the Crimson Nest, what would occupying some territory count for under previous circumstances?
Although Barbarians are not known for being bloodthirsty, they are by no means saints either, generally inclined between neutral evil and true neutral, with their alignment being vague and not specific.
They can communicate and trade normally in most situations, but when it comes to matters involving interests, they might turn into murderous bandits.
Similar to humans, but compared to humans, Barbarians are generally more emotional and straightforward.
"According to the information I gathered, the Centaur clan slaughtered a large number of the kingdom’s people many years ago, committing one appalling atrocity after another. They even kidnapped human women as tools for reproduction due to a drop in their population, and every human woman who gave birth to a Centaur foal eventually died from excessive bleeding...."
As everyone fell silent and frowned, a young Barbarian suddenly spoke.
Because the events happened many years ago, and the Barbarians had only recently arrived here with no information channels, this matter had always been unknown to the Barbarians.
