Chapter 958: The Laws Of Zacharias
The guard remained silent and just stood there, his claws shining.
Gu ngng raised one brow with a smile. “Do you think... you guys can stop ?”
The guard shook his head in all honesty. “We are unable to stop any one of your group.”
“Since you know you can’t stop us, why flash your claws in front ?” Gu ngng asked.
The guard gave a nod. “It is our duty to guard this place. Unless we die, we cannot allow any outsiders to put a single foot inside our territory.”
Gu ngng laughed gaily. She pointed at her own nose. “But I am also an outsider. Why is it that I can enter?”
The guard stood erect like a soldier as he t Gu ngng’s eyes. “The Great ssenger represents the Beast Deity. All the tribes in the entire Beast World belong to you. All the beasts are your n. So you can go wherever you want, and are not considered an outsider.”
Gu ngng nodded. “Oh, so I belong to the privileged classes.”
The guard didn’t know what a privilege class was and so didn’t answer her. He just continued standing there.
Gu ngng waved. “I don’t wish to make things difficult for you. The person who went to deliver the news should be back soon? We will talk about this when Leonard cos.”
Every tribe had their own laws. Although no one could stop her if she wished to enter by force, Gu ngng didn’t feel the need for such bullying tactics. Moreover, her company of gentlen, apart from Peter, would never let her suffer in the slightest bit. This rebuff at the entrance of Zacharias—she just needed to say the word and those guards would be torn to scraps.
The guards were just doing their job, so it was completely unnecessary to annihilate them all.
Thankfully, Leonard and Nick quickly arrived. They bowed and apologized the mont they spotted Gu ngng. “Great ssenger, please forgive us. It was my fault for not making the proper arrangents which resulted in this delay.”
Gu ngng chuckled. “No worries. So... we can now enter?”
Leonard looked up at Gu ngng. “The Great ssenger and her partners can enter Zacharias, but stray beasts are not allowed. As long as one of us is still living and breathing in Zacharias, we will never let a stray beast step into our territory.”
Gu ngng raised one brow and smirked. “Do you an that if we want everyone in our company to enter, we must first destroy your entire tribe?”
“Yes.” Leonard answered as a matter-of-fact.
Gu ngng continued smiling as she surveyed the n on her side. She then looked at Leonard again. “Then how long do you think we will need to destroy your entire tribe?”
Leonard was well aware of the combat prowess of his own tribe. But he also knew just how powerful his opponents were.
After a mont of assessnt, Leonard replied, “Half a day.”
Gu ngng asked, “Weigh your principles against a half-day lifespan of Zacharias—which one is more important?”
Leonard was taken aback. He then lifted his head again with renewed resolution. “Principles are principles. Nothing will be accomplished if we don’t adhere to any laws. We will rather die in battle, then allow any stray beast to taint our tribe.”
Wabei shifted forward and stood beside Gu ngng. He glanced askance at her. “He’s probably a fool? Actually talking about laws and principles with a stray beast? Gu ngng, let tell you, I have been cooped up for an entire winter season. If you dare leave behind and make wait here, I will imdiately charge in and destroy this lousy tribe.”
