Chapter 1444 Unexpected Appearance

In a hall filled with khaki and bright patterns, two teams were confronting each other, and a very dangerous atmosphere was spreading rapidly.

Under the reflection of the light crystals inlaid in the hall, one of the teams was none other than a strong man from the desert cat race like the masked man, while the other team was all tall and strong werewolves, obviously from the same tribe as the deputy leader Lucas.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the cat paw emblems decorated everywhere in the hall that this is obviously the territory of the desert cat race.

"Desert cat people, do you really intend to disobey the orders of the leader of the alliance, Lord Lucas?"

The scarred werewolf in the lead snorted coldly and said sternly: "The price of disobeying the leader of the alliance is not something that you can afford! Lord Lucas has said that those who disobey the order will be completely wiped out along with their entire forces!"

"You should clearly understand that compared with the entire Desert Alliance, your strength is not worth mentioning at all!"

Hearing the threat of the scarred werewolf, many of the desert cat people on the opposite side rolled their throats involuntarily, and their momentum was obviously three points lower, and even their ears drooped down.

The other party was right. Even within the alliance, the strength of the desert cat people was extremely limited. It could not be compared with powerful forces such as the Gorgon and the Moon Wolf Clan, let alone against the entire alliance.

"How about it? If we respond to Lord Lucas's call to send troops to the Desolate Fortress and bloodbath the territory of the human emperor, Lord Lucas may show some mercy."

Noticing that the momentum of the catmen was gradually weakening, the scarred werewolf in the lead said arrogantly: "This is your last chance. Don't be ungrateful. Otherwise, when the army comes, you and your family members will be stained with blood on the spot!"

However, the scarred werewolf did not notice that in the center of the panicked catmen, there was still a middle-aged strong man with a very firm face and khaki cat ears. This person was the catmen leader Lannis.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, please tell the deputy leader that we will not send troops before we find out the whereabouts of the leader."

Lannis's face was calm and he rejected the other party's proposal again.

"Your Excellency, the clan leader, are you talking about the former leader?"

The scar-faced werewolf narrowed his eyes and sneered, "This envoy has already said it at the beginning. The former leader was ambushed by the human emperor after leaving the Shadow Market, and most of the accompanying elders and strong men died on the spot."

"And the new leader, Lord Lucas, has gathered a large army to attack the Desolate Fortress in order to avenge the former leader. What reason do you have for not sending troops?"

The scar-faced werewolf's voice became more and more impatient, and he said coldly: "What do you want to do by rebelling against the new leader like this?"

At this point, the scar-faced werewolf's voice became a little playful, and continued: "Your Excellency, the clan leader, I heard that your daughter also died in the sneak attack of the human emperor this time. Don't you want to avenge her?"

"Of course I do, but I want to find out who is the real mastermind behind it."

Lannis's face was obviously fluctuating, but he still said it as calmly as possible.

"Sir, are you questioning the words of the new leader?"

The scarred werewolf's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly: "All this was witnessed by the new leader and the new queen of the Gorgon. Isn't the authority of these two adults enough for you to believe?"

"But I really can't think of a reason for the human emperor to attack the leader."

Facing the opponent's aggressiveness, Lannis still looked calm and said lightly: "Besides, the leader's body has not been found yet, and the deputy leader immediately took over the power. The throne of the Gorgon tribe also changed immediately. Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Hearing this, the other cat elders all looked helpless and frightened.

As the leader of the cat tribe, Lannis's straightforwardness and stubbornness are well known in the tribe. He has always managed the entire tribe in an orderly manner, but the current situation is obviously not the time to stick to his own opinions.

Then again, all this happened too suddenly. Just as Lannis said, the emperor of the human race had no reason to attack the leader. This would be like playing with fire.

It is not difficult to see that there must be something fishy going on.

I am afraid that other forces that have already sent troops have also noticed this to some extent, or at least have some suspicions.

However, Lucas has now taken over the banner of the leader, and with the full support of the new Gorgon Queen, the two largest forces, the Moon Demon Wolf Clan and the Gorgon, have taken the lead. Even if other forces have doubts, they have to bow their heads and surrender.

"Catman leader, it seems that you are determined to go against the new leader."

The scar-faced werewolf was obviously completely worn out of patience. He immediately took out a golden token from his arms and shouted: "The new leader has ordered that if Lannis disobeys, other catmen can kill him. The catmen who successfully kill Lannis will be recognized by the leader and become the next catman leader!"

As the scar-faced werewolf's murderous voice fell, the other werewolf warriors all growled with their fangs exposed and lowered their bodies, obviously ready to attack, but the catmen elders did not react at all, as if they did not hear it.

"Are you all deaf? This stubborn guy is leading you to destruction!"

Seeing that the situation did not develop as he expected, the scar-faced werewolf looked furious and yelled: "Why don't you kill him immediately?"

Hearing the sound, the cat elders still turned a deaf ear to it, but stood firmly behind Lannis and expressed their attitude with actions.

Although their patriarch was upright and stubborn, he was also upright and had already won the loyalty and respect of themselves and the entire desert cat tribe. Naturally, he would not listen to this group of ambitious guys.

"Okay, okay, you all wait, the leader will not let you go!"

The scar-faced werewolf, who had no choice but to forcibly extinguish the murderous intent in his heart after examining that his strength was not enough to shake Lannis, turned around and was about to leave.

"Tell your deputy leader that the truth will never be covered up, and it will never be covered up. In order to pursue the truth, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, it cannot stop us!"

Lannis hugged his arms and spoke loudly.

"What a heroic speech."

Just as Lannis finished speaking, another strange male voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

The people present were shocked and looked in the direction of the voice, and found that a human youth was already standing at the other end of the hall, with a calm face.

Needless to say, the person who came was Lei Xiao.

"Human Emperor?!"

Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, whether it was Lannis and other cat-human strongmen, or scarred werewolf strongmen and minions, they all opened their eyes wide, full of disbelief.

Lei Xiao's magic portrait had already spread throughout the Desert Alliance, and everyone recognized him immediately.

"Human Emperor, how did you get here?"

In addition to being surprised, a white-bearded cat-human elder blurted out with a look of disbelief on his face.

You know, this is the chieftain's hall in the capital of their desert cat race. Not only is it heavily guarded, but it is also covered with many defensive magic circles and detection magic circles, including the absolute defense barrier. Even a chirping oriole can't fly in, let alone the human emperor who is not familiar with the terrain?

Among the surprised crowd, Lannis looked at it with a frown, and did not speak immediately.

"Don't be surprised, everyone, look at what this is."

Lei Xiao's palm turned up, and the masked man's pendant emerged.

"Is this the personal belongings of the young chief Emily?"

An elderly female cat elder immediately reacted, and immediately revealed her murderous intentions: "Human emperor, it turned out that you sneak attacked the leader and the young chief!"

"Now that the person is caught red-handed, why don't you kill him quickly to avenge your young chief?"

The scarred werewolf immediately began to fan the flames and slowly approached Lei Xiao.

Hearing this, including the female elder just now, several cat elders all growled from their throats, and their claws that had been restrained were revealed one after another.

"Everyone calm down and think about where this place is. Even if he took the pendant from Emily, he would never come here."

Lannis waved his hand and stopped him, saying: "And Emily is one of the chief's guards. She has received extremely strict anti-mental attack training. Even a sixth-level peak strongman cannot get any useful information directly from her mind, and Emily can indeed rely on this pendant to move freely here."

Hearing Lannis' words, the cat elders all calmed down.

The clan leader was right. Emily was very naughty since she was a child. She often sneaked out to play with other children in the alliance, but every time she came back, she would be blocked by the barrier and inevitably be scolded by the clan leader.

As she grew older, Emily began to study ways to cross various barriers, and she kept pestering the elders who deployed and maintained the barriers. Finally, she found an extremely complex exclusive route that avoided all detection arrays and various magic traps, and the pendant was the only key to open this route.

Later, although Lannis learned about this, he did not plug this loophole that only Emily knew about, because once something happened in the cat city, Emily would be the only one who could come and go freely, and her role was self-evident.

Moreover, as the patriarch said just now, although Emily was naughty, she was gifted. She showed extraordinary strength and cultivation ability since she was a child, and broke several records. She was a rare pride in the tribe for a thousand years.

Especially in terms of resisting mental attacks, even the elders like them could not catch up, which was one of the reasons why she was chosen by the leader as a guard.

This means that unless Emily took the initiative to tell the human emperor the specific route, the human emperor would never come here quietly.

On the other side of the hall, seeing the cat elders' vigilant eyes gradually disappear, Lei Xiao remained calm, but he was still a little frightened.

He did come here through the information provided by the masked Emily, who even drew a detailed route map for him.

But because the other party's drawing ability was extremely limited, it looked like a mess. If it weren't for the distinct characteristics of the cat people's architecture and the simple corridors, he would have been lost in this huge palace that was not much smaller than Leng Yan's.

"Your Majesty, why did Emily give you the token and the route here? What happened?"

Lannis's resolute face couldn't help but show a trace of urgency, and he asked Lei Xiao.

Before Lannis finished speaking, the scarred werewolf saw that the situation was not good, and quickly interrupted him and said: "Catman Chief, don't be deceived by the cunning human emperor!"

"Your Excellency, I just asked the human emperor a question, why are you so nervous?"

Lannis frowned and said lightly: "Are you afraid that we will know some secrets that cannot be told?"

"This envoy finally understands that you must have colluded with the human emperor, so you refused to send troops!"

The scarred werewolf simply bit Lannis back and shouted coldly: "Then this envoy will stop your thoughts! Human emperor, go to hell!"

After that, the scarred werewolf, who had been close to Lei Xiao without knowing it, did not hesitate, and a strong murderous intent suddenly burst out from his body. The long-handled axe in his hand suddenly appeared and attacked Lei Xiao.

For a moment, the scarred werewolf's majestic energy wave filled the entire hall, and even the space was slightly distorted, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

Seeing this scene, the cat elders couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

The scarred werewolf's strength was at level six, two stars, and he was notorious even within the Moon Demon Wolf Clan, which was known for its strength. It was said that several second-rate strongmen had suffered losses at his hands, or even been directly killed by him.

Although the human emperor was also quite famous, the human race was too weak after all... The most important thing was that at this distance, even the strongest Lannis could not stop the other party's footsteps.

However, at the moment when the scarred werewolf was about to approach Lei Xiao with a monstrous murderous aura, Lei Xiao was surrounded by purple light and had already taken action first.

The next second, the scarred werewolf felt the dazzling lightning in front of him, and an unstoppable and powerful energy rushed over, easily breaking through his thick energy barrier.

He lowered his head again, and a colorful long sword had pierced through him, directly making a big hole in his chest.

"Damn it, how is this possible?"

The fierce light in the scarred werewolf's eyes instantly solidified on his hideous face, and his huge body, which had lost its vitality, fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the whole hall suddenly fell silent. (End of this chapter)
