Lord of the Truth

Chapter 473 Wait

*DA-BUM*

Fugonʼs sudden action caught the attention of all the members of his entourage, their hearts stopped beating for a moment, they all knew very well what the sight of the ground beneath his feet meant.

Fugon is about to start the war using the Earthquake attack!!

They all involuntarily started to look around at their potential opponents and their reaction to what the Fugon was doing, but no one was paying any attention to them, this new tribe was still completely oblivious.

Tribe Chief Fugon can smash the entire hill on their heads with a strong earthquake using the Major Heavenly Law of Earth right now if he wants to!!

But suddenly...

*shush*

Fugon shook his head vigorously as the cracked ground under his leg healed again, then he gasped loudly, ”Huff… huff….”

”What are you doing, Brother Fugon? Make up your mind already! You will only make them notice us like that” The fat rat spoke wryly

Fugon took a deep breath and then replied, ”...letʼs exhaust all options with that Robin first, then it wonʼt be too late for the earthquake to begin.”

”What do you mean it wonʼt be too late? When you reach a dead end with him, he would raise his guard against you and will be ready to battle, the element of surprise would be gone. Now is the best time to start your tribeʼs earthquake attack and ram the hill over their heads. This will be the starting signal for your army to rain down attacks on them. Look at them, Doesnʼt any of them seem to be ready for such a huge change? they will be vanquished within half an hour! Now is the best chance for you to eliminate those arrogant fools, donʼt be a coward!” The fat rat spoke angrily and started pulling at the hair of the sage that was carrying him over his head.

”This is an internal matter of the Northern Fury Tribe, no matter what status you have in your tribe you have no say here, speak properly to Chief!” One of the top-level Sages next to Fugon pointed at the rat and said, ”If a battle of this size starts today it will be us who will bare the responsibility, it is our lives and the lives of our families that would be in line, not yours!”

”...Calm down everyone, I just want to exhaust all options first... I can issue the first strike now and take advantage of you all saying so, but then who knows what will happen afterward? And how intense their resistance will be? I know that we will win if I attack now, but at what cost? I do not want to cause great losses to my tribe, then the Tree Father Hoffenheim will come and benefit from this foolish internal struggle.” Then he waited a bit and continued with bright eyes, ”But you all donʼt have to worry, I will not sell us cheap. after what weʼve seen today, I wonʼt talk to that Robin to ask him for equality, Iʼll ask for much more!”

”Hey there! Why did you stop all of a sudden? Come, come, Iʼve reserved a good spot for you to watch the show up close.” Elizabeth waved from afar and pointed towards the slightly higher ground next to the metal arc.

”Letʼs go, donʼt attract any more attention,” Fugon whispered, then moved forward silently with the rest until he reached a tent, or it could be said that it was a canopy since it was a tent open from all sides with only a roof to provide shade, the canopy had a large number of chairs under it, all of them looking towards the metal arch.

Then he chose a chair at random and looked at Elizabeth standing next to him and spoke seriously, ”Where is this... His Excellency... Robin? I only want to talk to him. We didnʼt come here to see shows.”

”His Excellency is in a retreat to heal himself, but he will be out shortly in order to follow up on the event, so do not worry you will be able to meet him today.” Elizabeth replied with her gentle smile, then moved a few steps closer and whispered directly into Fugonʼs ear in her charming voice, ”~It was a good choice by the way, what a good boy you are~”

Fugonʼs pupils widened until they almost covered all the whiteness in his eyes, but he contented himself with looking at Elizabethʼs back as she moved away from him little by little.

”Hmm? Whatʼs wrong with you, Father? What did she say to you?” she asked when Ellis noticed her fatherʼs strange looks

*Gulp* ”No.. not at all.. looks like she was complimenting me because we chose to come today... I guess...”

”You guess?!” Ellis muttered in an uncertain voice but made no attempt to pressure her father any further

”Hey, have you all just heard her talking about the reason why the new clan leaderʼs in a retreat? He is healing himself? What kind of general tells potential enemies that his leader is injured?! It seems that Robin is not only the fool and arrogant one here but all of them are!” The crow shook its head, ”Brother Fugon, although I donʼt usually support Brother Schäffer, this time I do, take this opportunity to attac-”

”Shhh!!” Fugon silenced all the voices around him, then added, ”I will do as I see fit, please stick to the original plan!”

The Hoopoe, the crow, and the Rat looked at each other in annoyance, then returned to look around the hill, perhaps they might find something they had overlooked before, anything that might justify this new tripeʼs arrogance outside of their weapons. 

As for the rest of the Sages of the Northern Fury Clan, they let out a long sigh and rested on their chairs, just the walk from the gate to this spot was extremely heavy for them

After a few minutes, someone finally broke the silence, ”Hey, what do you think about the event that woman was talking about?”

”I donʼt know, but I think itʼs related to that big bow since she brought us next to it..”

”Hmph,” Ellis huffed and said angrily, ”I bet itʼs some kind of military parade, they want to scare us into following them.”

Fugon nodded in agreement with Ellisʼ words, this was indeed the most plausible possibility

”Hehe, but whoʼs going to start the show? The drunk ones or the sunbathers?” another sneered

” I bet those drunk begs will play volleyball using that metal arc as the net!”

”hehe, that sounds reasonable too.”

”...Hmm? Shhh, calm down, something is about to happen.” Fugon spoke in a low voice

At that moment, Caesar, Victoria, and Old Gu approached the huge metal arc, and then Caesar started pressing a plate beside the arc

*VRoOoOoM*

At that moment, the space inside the metal arc started to liquefy and give off a strange feeling, which caught the attention and minds of Fugon and everyone with him, but that wasnʼt the last shock...

Caesar, Victoria, and Old Gu took a few steps toward that diluted space.. and silently disappeared.
