Chapter 517 Finale (2)
The bodies of the Beast God and Yingxi slowly disappeared, and the forest returned to its usual silence. Lang Cang turned around and looked at the mess on the ground, where corpses were strewn everywhere and blood soaked the entire forest.
The orcs watched all this with sorrow in their eyes. Their companions, who had been joking and laughing with them not long ago, were now lying on the ground, never to wake up again.
Lang Cang gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination. He was the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City, and he could not fall at this moment. "Let's set up camp here for a few days, and let the warriors rest for a few days."
"Furthermore, cremate the fallen warriors one by one and bring the remains back to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
This is not their home. He brought the orcs from the north, and now it is time for them to return to their roots.
Huqiu stepped forward. "Yes!"
After Lang Cang finished explaining the post-battle matters, he led Lin Baiyan into a makeshift tent.
He looked at the unusually obedient sub-beastman lying on the bed with his eyes closed and smiled gently, "You're only most obedient at times like this."
He placed a white jade box beside Lin Baiyan's pillow. Inside was a re-condensed holy crystal, which the Beast God had given to him when he left. Placing it beside Lin Baiyan now might help him better utilize the power of faith to nourish his body.
Lang Cang reached out and smoothed Lin Baiyan's hair, took out a fur handkerchief from his pocket, and cleaned the bloodstains off his face. He then took out his own fur coat and replaced Lin Baiyan's blood-stained clothes.
Bai Yan loves cleanliness. If she knew she was in such a disheveled state, she would feel very uncomfortable even when she was asleep.
Wolf Cang carefully avoided the wounds on the orc's body, but when he saw the bloody wound on his chest, a surge of heat slowly rose in his eyes.
The male orc lay by the bed, tightly gripping Lin Baiyan's fingers. "Am I too incompetent?"
He couldn't even protect his own orcs, causing him to suffer such serious injuries, and yet he still had to stand in front of him.
Wolf Cang's gaze traced inch by inch across the orc's handsome face, then he lowered his eyes slightly, and a tear slowly fell onto the orc's thin, white finger joints.
At this moment, the seemingly calm, composed, fierce, and powerful city lord of the Beast City was crying like a child who had lost his candy in front of his partner.
After an unknown amount of time, Lang Cang lifted his face from Lin Baiyan's hand and looked deeply at the sub-beastman on the bed. "I'll take you home. Wake up soon."
Three days later, at the temporary camp where the Beast City was stationed, carts full of supplies had already been loaded. The warriors of the Beast City looked at the road ahead with anticipation. Lang Cang stood at the front of the group and tilted his head slightly, "Is everything packed?"
Huqiu chuckled, "Don't worry, City Lord, everything that needed to be taken has been taken."
They even take things they shouldn't have taken.
After a war, the most important thing is to soothe the spirits of the soldiers.
In the past few days, Huqiu led the warriors of Wanshou City and several tribes to roam around, like a local tyrant, collecting all the supplies left behind by these major southern tribes, waiting to distribute them to the warriors of Wanshou City as compensation after returning to the city.
Lang Cang nodded slightly, his gaze unconsciously glancing at the carriage next to him. "I'll go take another look at Bai Yan."
Huqiu nodded quickly, looked at his boss's anxious figure, sighed deeply, and nudged Baolu beside him, "When do you think the High Priest will wake up? I've seen the City Lord looking distracted these past few days. If he doesn't wake up soon, I guess the boss will fall into a coma along with him."
This wasn't just an exaggeration on his part. These past few days, Lang Cang had been acting like he was possessed, staying by Lin Baiyan's side every step of the way. He would become extremely anxious if he was separated from Lin Baiyan for even a short while, and he couldn't feel at ease unless he had Lin Baiyan under his watchful eye.
Leopard Road rolled his eyes without hesitation. "You really are a tiger! Didn't you hear what the Beast God said?"
“Our High Priest doesn’t have a minor injury like a broken finger; how could he wake up immediately!”
Huqiu scratched his head. Indeed, their high priest was ruthless to himself. He was terrified just looking at the daggers stabbing into his heart. No wonder his boss had been living in fear these past two days.
Xiong Fei crossed his arms and sighed, "I never thought I would actually see the real Beast God one day."
Hearing him say this, the surrounding beastmen nodded repeatedly. They never expected that they would be able to witness the true form of the Beast God.
"But have you all clearly seen what the Beast God looks like?"
At this point, everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison, "The Beast God's aura is too strong; I don't dare to look up at all."
"Tch, coward!" His companion immediately mocked him upon seeing this.
The male orc warrior glared defiantly at his companion, "So, you're going to raise your head, are you?"
"Of course, I'm not as timid as you!"
"Then tell me, what does the Beast God look like?"
At this point, his companion choked, "How should I know?"
"Didn't you say you looked up?"
"Looking up doesn't mean I can see clearly!" In fact, he did secretly raise his head, but the Beast God's face was covered by something, making his features extremely blurry.
"He's just bragging here!"
"What did you say?!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the orc beside them quickly separated them, saying, "Are you crazy? We're about to set off. If the city lord sees us fighting, we'll definitely be punished!"
Upon hearing the city lord's name, the two orcs immediately fell silent, exchanged a glance, and both shuddered.
