Chapter 175 - 166 The Raven
"Master!" Kedel roared, but there was still a distance to Lei Shan, making support impossible.
The hidden Black Guards around also picked up their pens, recording the news of Lei Shan’s death, ready to send it back to the imperial capital.
Just when everyone thought Lei Shan was doomed, a massive scarlet eye appeared in the sky, overlooking them. The Golden Lion instinctively recoiled, pulling back the paw that had already crushed Lei Shan’s nose.
The Golden Lion, having failed in its killing blow, took a deep breath, staring intently at the blood-red eye in the sky. Eferot’s mane bristled, as if facing something extremely terrifying.
"Gray-robed Raven!" At this moment, the Golden Lion felt endless regret. Had he known, he would have preferred not to provoke a border war and directly executed Lei Shan. Now that the Raven appeared, he had no chance.
The scarlet blood eye caused panic in Xie’an, who quickly ordered a retreat of forces. Kedel also wisely stopped his attack orders. Since the Raven had come, it was better to leave everything to him.
"Golden Lion?" The blood eye blinked and disappeared, replaced by an old man in a gray robe. His face was so wrinkled it evoked sympathy. If one threw the Raven into a city, he’d look every bit like a decrepit old man.
"Aren’t you afraid of Sacred Empire’s questioning for crossing the border?" The Golden Lion steadied himself and said in a deep voice, "I think a powerful being like you wouldn’t be allowed to enter, would you?"
"No harm done," the Raven said softly, "After all, this is between the Eagle Alliance and the Empire. But you, a beastman, appearing on Empire’s territory, as an ally, I don’t mind doing Sacred Empire a little favor."
Hearing the Raven’s words, the Golden Lion was shocked. The Raven intended to kill him, so Eferot turned and ran. Facing the peak combat power of the Eagle Alliance, it would be at least a century before he dared to face him.
