104: Chapter 104: How Did They Start Fighting? 104: Chapter 104: How Did They Start Fighting? The entire afternoon, Zhao Guang was thinking about the power of the Misfortune Scroll. He wondered how Wang Qishan was faring now, regretting not having seen it with his own eyes. He wondered if the guy was dead, and if he was alive, they could just try again later. For such people, their death would be a relief to the people; Zhao Guang had no psychological burden about it. After receiving all those axes and iron ingots, Zhao Guang finally had some free time. “Just waiting for the Space Ring now. Once I get my hands on the Space Ring, moving these things will be much easier.” This time, he didn’t have people move the items upstairs; they were just kept on the first floor. The interconnected rooms on the first floor had now become one large warehouse. Zhao Guang, worried that the floor might collapse, had several columns added inside for reinforcement. What a pity though, it hadn’t been long since those freight elevators and his forklift were going to become redundant. Forget it, why think so much? He should just go and get his Space Ring, he had agreed to meet Yars in the afternoon. Zhao Guang opened the Space Gate, and just as he stepped out, an arrow suddenly flew toward him, deflecting off the armor on his head. If it weren’t for the armor he was wearing, he might have been injured. What was going on? Zhao Guang looked at the scene before him, struggling to find words. The Human army and the Beastman forces were engaged in a fierce battle right there. The Human side was led by none other than Earl Yars. Yars alone was fighting Kapas and Osra, two elite lion Beastmen, and still managing to suppress them. Behind them, Priest Lai Wu was continuously providing support, which was why they could maintain their unbeaten status. There were also large numbers of Beastmen and Humans entangled in battle. If their defenses hadn’t been strong, no doubt many would be lying down by now. Now, observing everyone shouting and extremely agitated, it was a sight to behold. “It’s Lord Zhao Guang, block those damn Beastmen.” “Brother Zhao Guang is here, we absolutely can’t let those Humans bully him.” Almost simultaneously, both sides issued combat orders, escalating the conflict even further. Zhao Guang felt a chill run through him. He took a step back and hid again inside his house. Then, he cautiously took out a camera and extended it to observe the situation on the other side. “What on earth is happening, why are they fighting so fiercely?” Time rewound to last night, after Zhao Guang had left. In order to protect Zhao Guang, especially the items he had brought, Yars decided to build an outpost here as a test. So the soldiers set out overnight and built a wooden watchtower right outside Zhao Guang’s Space Gate exit, complete with a surrounding fence. But the next day, the Beastmen patrolling the area instantly realized something was amiss. The Space Gate exit of Brother Zhao Guang had been occupied by Humans. This was a move to monopolize Brother Zhao Guang’s resources, which was unacceptable. Upon this person’s report, the Beastmen became alarmed. Even Aleya, the Fox Demon who typically appeared unconcerned with most matters, became anxious. Their trade wasn’t complete yet, and Zhao Guang still controlled a large amount of metal weapons. With these weapons, not only would the battles to the south be more easily suppressed, but many other problems could be resolved as well. Beastmen lack metal, and even more so, the means to forge it; having metal weapons is truly not easy for them. Therefore, with the agreement of all the Beastmen, they directly charged over with their people. Zhao Guang saw the scattered wood, which the Beastmen had torn down from the outpost. When he saw so many Beastmen charging over menacingly, the Human Soldiers ran away at once, knowing full well they couldn’t stop them. However, the Human Soldiers didn’t know what the Beastmen came for, so they reported it as a potential sneak attack by the Beastmen. Upon hearing this, Yars was furious and immediately led his men out of the military camp. Thus, early in the morning, the two sides encountered each other. “Damn Humans, wanting to monopolize this place, did you ask us for permission?” Kapas roared loudly in the Beastmen language. “Beastmen, are you trying to provoke a total war?” Yars was very angry too; the south was in the middle of preparing for war, and if a decisive battle started here as well, it would definitely not be good for the Empire. Especially as the person in charge, he would surely be punished by those above him. So, in a situation where the two sides could not understand each other’s language, the Beastmen who believed Humans were provoking them threw the first Javelin. The Javelin had a powerful impact, hitting a Soldier on the spot. The Soldier’s Armor was extremely strong in defensive power, and although it was dented by the impact, it still held up; he just couldn’t muster any strength for the moment. Seeing this, Yars didn’t care anymore, as this was definitely a provocation. “Damn Beastmen, you want a decisive battle? Then let’s have it!” With that, Yars took the initiative and struck out directly at two Beastmen. If it weren’t for his concern, those two lion-men would have been no match for him. By the time Zhao Guang arrived, the group had been fighting for hours. The Soldiers below had rotated several times because, without these rest periods, they would have run out of energy long ago. Throughout the battle, Yars had always been holding back. Because afterwards, Yars seemed to have understood somewhat; these Beastmen were so anxious probably due to their desire to take Zhao Guang’s merchandise. Damn Beastmen, still as barbaric as ever, only knowing how to rob. To avoid sparking a total war, Yars had to pull back, turning the two lion-men into pig heads. But because he hadn’t gone for the kill, the two lion-men did not sustain serious injuries, which was why they were able to persist till now with the help of Elder Lai Wu. In fact, the Beastmen hadn’t expected that Humans would have a strong presence in this place. Usually, they never saw Yars, and Yars wouldn’t personally head to the battlefield either. The Beastmen, who respected strength, were now convinced by Yars. For at least a while, those Beastmen wouldn’t dare to provocatively challenge the Human Soldiers on a large scale. As for Aleya, she hadn’t gone to the battlefield from the start but observed from a far distance. While observing, she also recorded something on a notebook. All these were important intelligence, which had to be sent back to the royal court in time for them to understand the situation here. After Zhao Guang appeared, both sides suddenly exploded with the greatest enthusiasm and drained their energy in the shortest time possible. When it was all over, the Human Soldiers on one side were so exhausted they could barely stand. On the Beastman side, they were still generally maintaining a certain level of combat strength, but their high-level fighters were out of energy. Both sides looked at each other, neither continuing the fight.
