Chapter 61: [Weekly Bonus - 6/6] A Fight Long Overdue (2)
Back in the settlement, A’Mila, Akila, and the rest of the council were busy discussing what to do with Nexarian prisoners, as their numbers were recently on the rise.
The cracks in the veil had gotten more frequent, so the Nexian army was constantly invading their land. At first, the tribe was happy as they got a constant flow of slaves heading their way, but now the situation had grown into something they hadn’t expected.
While Mammoroth would be enough to hold off the invaders, leaning on the King of the Forest wasn’t a long-term solution.
"What’s that noise?" A’Mila asked as she got up to see why the tribespeople had gone haywire.
However, chaos erupted in the settlement before they could delve deeper into the topic. The council walked out to see everyone panicking, and Akila got everyone to calm down.
"Elder Mikali, what is going on? Why are you here instead of the forest?" Akila asked, upon seeing Mikali, one of the people stationed around the forest, to watch over the young ones participating in the hunt.
"The boy has something to confess."
Without wasting a second, Mikali pushed Rina forward. Rina was still in shock and knew he would be punished for crossing into the forbidden forest.
But after witnessing what happened to his friends, he knew he had to tell them the truth so no one else would have to die because of that monster. So he told them everything: the forbidden forest, the beast, and what he did to Leno.
