Chapter 70: A Brilliant Victory_1
CLANG!
A helmeted head was thrown onto the ground, and from inside the iron helmet rolled out a bloody, mangled human head.
The blood-soaked werewolf saluted Yan Xing, who was mounted on his warhorse, and said loudly, "Honorable Lord Yan Xing, I am Li Zhua, Clan Leader of the Werewolf Tribe in Stenchwater Forest. I recognize this human Knight; he’s a mercenary who protected the merchant Eden and traded with us on the borders of the Swamp.
It must have been his greed for the riches of Eternal Domain that attracted the Orc werewolf raid on your territory.
I have now beheaded him as an offering from the Stenchwater Forest werewolf pack on our visit to Eternal Domain."
Following Li Zhua’s offering, the other werewolves also dropped the heads they were holding and paid tribute to Yan Xing.
Yan Xing was somewhat stunned by this scene. A head for a bag of grain, a prisoner for two—can’t you werewolves do the math? What... Lord, what do I need with so many heads?
Fortunately, the werewolves still showed restraint, as not all the Orcs and mercenaries were killed; half of the prisoners were herded together and guarded by the Werewolf Warriors.
Yan Xing looked again at the heads strewn about the ground, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
"Gao Sipa, take some men and collect these heads. Keep a record of whose achievements they are, then box them up and preserve them. After the meeting is over, we’ll settle up and distribute the grain to my friends." While Gao Sipa took men to clean up the heads on the ground, Yan Xing addressed Li Zhua from atop his warhorse, "Welcome, Clan Leader Li Zhua, to Eternal Domain, and welcome all werewolf Clan Leaders who love peace and wish to prosper together with Eternal Domain.
I have prepared the most delicious food and the finest drinks, ensuring that all Clan Leaders will feel the warmth of home in Eternal Domain.
