“My Queen, are we really not going to cooperate with this human force? This is the only vitality force we have encountered in decades, and we can’t miss this opportunity!”

“I… how could I not know…,”

A hoarse voice emerged slowly from the depths of the court.

In the shadows, the Featherman Queen walked forth. Her gait was elegant and her dress was luxurious, each movement exuding the reverence and nobility befitting a queen.

However, behind the Featherman Queen, where one would expect holy and magnificent white wings, lay patchy and faded feathers, sparsely distributed. Some feathers even drifted to the ground as she walked, torn and scattered by the interplay of light and shadow.

Her face was wrinkled, like withered old tree bark. People could only infer from her silhouette that the Queen must have been a beauty in her youth, but now, the charm was gone, leaving only age.

Actually, she was not so old, just over a hundred years. Feathermen have longer lifespans than humans, and legendary beings enjoy even longer lives. For a Featherman Queen, her age meant she was barely more than a youngster.

Nonetheless, she had suffered a severe injury, a wound to her very essence.

It had yet to heal even now.

Her lifespan was severely diminished as a result.

And this was the price for venturing into the outside world.

“The Cobra Overlord and the Wolf Overlord are extremely terrifying. It is still uncertain whether this human force can survive and for how long. It is possible that they could perish tomorrow. Cooperating with a vitality force that could be annihilated at any moment is pointless and could even pose a threat to our Featherman Kingdom.”

“Let’s wait until they manage to survive first.”

That was also why she had instructed General Sopt to reveal information about the surrounding forces.

Only those who could survive amid the surrounding Overlords had the qualifications to cooperate with her Featherman Kingdom.

…

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Outside Shiling Town, the roaring blasts followed one after another, artillery shelling filled the skies; monstrous bodies were ripped apart, while more creatures emerged from the horizons, their fierce teeth bared, pouncing towards the town.

“This is already the 26th large-scale monster wave we’ve encountered these days.”

“Additionally, 19 players have gone missing in the wild, presumed to have met with mishaps.”

In the town’s command center, an official player reported.

Mayor Cui Long’s face tensed slightly.

The missing players were mostly those who had ventured out to explore on their own. Despite issuing various warnings, some players who were not selected for the official exploratory team still deemed themselves exceptional and insisted on delving into the wilderness, and they could not be stopped.

“The existence of our Shiling Town has likely been exposed to many monster powers. We cannot view these monster powers through old perspectives and experiences.”

He addressed the other lords at the meeting, pausing to say, “The monster tribes we’ve faced in the past were mostly established within a few years, and although their leaders held wisdom, it was limited. During the Red Fog Disaster Moon, we confronted some high-order intelligent monsters, but those beings, corrupted by the red fog, had sunk into near insanity, with little wisdom remaining. But now…”

“The intelligent monsters around us, they understand mining, enslaving, and even military training.

“They might be secretly plotting against us.”

Shiling Town was no small settlement, with numerous buildings and imposing walls. Such a town suddenly appearing in the wilderness naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Even if Mayor Cui Long wished to take some measures for concealment, there was nothing that could be done.

Moreover, there were numerous players in Shiling Town, who could not be completely controlled. Players were a massive force, but the traces they left behind also made Shiling Town even more exposed.

No matter what, players could not be controlled as easily as soldiers.

But it was precisely because Shiling Town had high-level players and veteran lords that Mayor Cui Long was quickly able to get a decent understanding of the surrounding territories.

“Currently, there are nine discovered Tai Xuan territories, and the furthest is three hundred and ninety kilometers away from our Shiling Town… But this distance is shorter than before the great change.”

“Furthermore, there have been 26 monster tribes discovered, among which three have very large scales. Raging Blade Lord has assessed that these three large tribes each have several Fourth-order Bosses in command.”

He projected several photographs.

The most striking among them was a wall over twenty meters tall. The wall was brownish-red, not particularly well-constructed, as if it had been built from piles of crushed flesh.

Not far from the wall, one could vaguely make out the eerie and towering spires of The Tower of Flesh and Blood.

This scale was fitting for a Monster City.

Many high-level players and veteran lords were astonished; they had heard that this was a large tribe dominated by Half-Orcs. They were accustomed to Half-Orcs, but never had they seen such a bizarre Half-Orc tribe.

It was not a matter of size. It felt strange, unreasonable, and eerie.

Mayor Cui Long, Raging Blade Lord, and a few others were also seeing such a monster power for the first time. However, having higher status and more powerful acquaintances, they had some awareness of it.

“Rumors say that the monsters also have their own factions.”

“Some monsters worship the Fallen God and craft Totem Pillars, which are indicative of the Fallen God Faction.”

“There are also those at the pinnacle of the Wisdom Monsters establishing the Monster Kingdom and ruling countless minions.”
