The Iron Arm Leader looked at Mia, his face revealing a touch of affection at first, but his smile suddenly changed during its bloom, taking on a stern expression as he scolded,
"Mia, co here at once! We will settle the issue of you sneaking out when we get back!"
Mia raised her voice and defiantly retorted, "Father, what are you doing? Have them put down their crossbows imdiately."
The Iron Arm Leader, with a stern face, continued to scold, "We are cleaning up the Evil God's Servants, co here right away."
Mia stood in front of Su Muyu refusing to leave, and her tone beca increasingly unrestrained, "They are my lifesavers, old man, I didn't expect you to repay kindness with malice."
Upon hearing this, the Iron Arm Leader quickly gestured with his hand for the Bansel warriors to lower their crossbows, "Our Bansel Tribe holds the highest respect for warriors, but these outsiders are filled with an evil presence."
"What's so strange about brave warriors fighting demons at close range and getting tainted with evil? I have it on too, are you planning to cleanse as well?" Mia was very adamant.
Seeing his daughter so defiant, the Iron Arm Leader began to hesitate.
Lei Jinhao's gaze sank as he continued to fan the flas, "Iron Arm Leader, Mia must have been bewitched by the Evil God, Evil God Barton is best at beguiling people's hearts, isn't he?"
"That's right! Mia, co here quickly, these outsiders cannot be trusted if they can't prove their origins." The Iron Arm Leader maintained the highest vigilance towards the newcors.
The dispute continued without resolution, with Mia always standing in front of Su Muyu, refusing to leave.
Lei Jinhao and his group were constantly fanning flas next to the Iron Arm Leader, harboring deep murderous intents.
Lu Heng watched all of this with a cold eye, never speaking.
A battle had just taken place here, and it wouldn't be long before Commander Level Demons would co killing their way over.
If the delay continued, they might very well wait until the demon reinforcents arrived.
Lu Heng thought of the content recorded in the ancient books in Quenching Castle's library, so he took out an object and raised it high, asking loudly, "Iron Arm Leader, do you recognize this?"
The Iron Arm Leader saw what Lu Heng was holding in his hands and was suddenly stunned, his face full of surprise and confusion, and one could even see his eyes shining.
Seeing the Iron Arm Leader's expression, everyone's gaze converged on what Lu Heng was holding.
It was an emblem held in Lu Heng's hand, engraved with a burning castle, the emblem of Quenching Castle.
Everyone looked at the emblem with puzzled expressions because no one recognized what it was.
Only the Iron Arm Leader's complexion changed drastically, he imdiately turned to the side and gestured invitingly, "It turns out you are a descendant of our allies, my apologies for the disrespect, please be sure to visit Stone Hamr Castle as a guest."
Seeing his change in attitude, Lu Heng could confirm that the Bansel Tribe indeed had a connection with Quenching Castle.
It seed that the contents of the ancient book in Quenching Castle's library were indeed true.
Lu Heng's gaze swept over Lei Jinhao and the others, then he looked at the Iron Arm and asked with a serious tone, "Iron Arm Leader, crossing swords with us just now doesn't seem to be the Bansel Clan's way of treating guests, does it?"
The Iron Arm Leader was taken aback, feeling rather embarrassed.
Just now, he had indeed ordered his subordinates to aim their crossbows at Lu Heng and the others.
Such behavior was indeed unfriendly.
He turned his head and glared at Lei Jinhao to the side, passing the bla directly, "It's all these outsiders' influence, they must be followers of the Evil God. Guards, seize these servants of the Evil God!"
Thirty-odd Bansel warriors imdiately drew their weapons and surrounded Lei Jinhao and his group.
Lei Jinhao didn't expect the situation to change so swiftly; although he had been in control just monts ago, he was now branded a follower of the Evil God by the Bansel Tribe.
He still wanted to argue, "Iron Arm Leader, we have fought against the Evil God's Servants together."
The Iron Arm Leader snorted coldly, "I've seen enough of these impersonation tricks, seize them for !"
Lei Jinhao's gaze darkened as he gave a subtle look to a Perceiver nad Yado.
The Perceiver nad Yado hooked the corner of their mouth with a cold curve, gesturing with their eyes towards the distant sky.
Following their gaze, Lei Jinhao's face also revealed a ferocious smile.
Just then,
A roar ca from the sky.
A battalion of Winged Demons flew over the peak of Ankalie Mountain, appearing over the battlefield.
These elite Winged Demons, ard with War Spears, were flapping their wings and hovering in the air, looking impressively formidable.
Due to an attack on the withered finger during transport, the wrath of the Evil God's faction leader was provoked.
Therefore, Winged Demon Commander Sagers personally led the Winged Demon Air Force to rush to the scene, arriving at the battlefield with utmost speed.
Lu Heng's original plan was to retreat imdiately after seizing the offering, but Lei Jinhao's appearance caused too much delay, and they were still there when Winged Demon Commander Sagers arrived.
The situation imdiately beca tense.
A rough sweep revealed there were at least fifty of these elite Winged Demons.
This must be the most elite force within the Evil God's followers.
The Iron Arm Leader, seeing Winged Demon Commander Sagers erge, lost interest in dealing with Lei Jinhao and the others, raised his Warhamr, and bellowed, "Formations! Warriors of the Bansel Clan, follow my command, form up!"
The thirty warriors of the Bansel Clan ambushing behind the hillside charged out, rging with the thirty original crossbown, and moved toward the Iron Arm Leader, raising their shields to form a defensive formation in preparation for the Winged Demons' assault.
Roar!
The Bansel warriors completed their formation, aiming their crossbows at the Winged Demon army in the sky, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The Iron Arm Leader looked up to the heavens and roared, "Sagers! Co! Let's fight to the death!"
Clearly, this was not the first clash between the two sides, and a victor had yet to be determined, indicating that their combat powers were evenly matched.
"Today, I'll spare your life. Crawl back to your Stone Hamr Castle and hide. Once my lord is revived, he will personally judge you."
Winged Demon Commander Sagers's target was not the Bansel Tribe, but the person who had taken the withered finger.
His gaze swept over the group on the ground and with a flap of his wings, he dived toward Lu Heng.
Lu Heng had guessed he was the target and pushed Su Muyu, shouting, "You guys, run!"
Then he activated Gale Step and clenched an Essential Skill, ready to fight for his life.
Sagers's dive was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was near the ground, lifting his fan-like talons toward Lu Heng.
Just at that mont.
"Your opponent is !" The Iron Arm Leader bellowed, standing out from the crowd, leaping high, and smashing his Warhamr toward Sagers's head.
Sagers had no choice but to retract his claws and swing his War Spear to block.
Bang!
The two leaders fought fiercely, their weapons hamring out shockwaves.
The Winged Demons in the sky followed suit and dived, and a great battle was about to erupt.
The Bansel warriors and the elite Winged Demons clashed fiercely, with cries and screams of battle deafening.
Lu Heng and others joined the fight, mingling with the Winged Demons in close combat.
...
On the hillside.
A mber of Thunder asked Lei Jinhao in a low voice, "Leader, should we join the battle?"
Lei Jinhao narrowed his eyes slightly, his face looking sowhat unsightly.
He had expended effort and distributed a large amount of materials to foster a relationship with the Bansel Tribe, earning the trust of the Iron Arm.
Yet with Lu Heng's arrival, he was treated like a heretic by the Bansel tribal chief.
If not for the sudden appearance of Winged Demon Commander Sagers, they would have already been captured under Iron Arm's orders.
Though reluctant, he knew that the reputation he had built up was now wasted.
"Join what battle? It would be best if they all perished," the Perceiver nad Yada, with all her emotions on her face, stared down fiercely at the people below.
"Let's go! Preserve our strength," Lei Jinhao's eyes glead with a cold light, and he turned to leave the battlefield.
