Warlord

As Sauron’s forces stepped in, Zero quietly withdrew.

Not every plan was uneventful, Zero knew that.

It was just that Saurun’s troops could join in at this critical moment, and he had a pretty good deputy in his unit.

At least the man was not afraid of being blamed for interfering in Sauron’s fight, and he understood that the active intervention of the army gave Sauron a chance to save face and step down.

It was Kabu, the tracking expert on Sauron’s team, who had mobilized troops to intervene. Although he did not belong to the Parkland family, his father had served the family in an unquestionable way.

Kabu was no exception. With his status as a level 3 Hunter, he could quickly smell danger.

After Sauron left the camp alone, Kabu looked around and saw that the monsters hidden in the ruins seemed to be attracted by something.

During this time, Kabu discovered a faint trace of blood.

Fresh blood was enough to move the hearts of bloodthirsty monsters. However, from the faint smell in the air, Kabu could tell that these monsters were not only tempted, but they were also crazed.

It was the smell of mutants, which, in the heat of the moment, had unconsciously been expelled into the air by their bodies, if not by seasoned hunters, it was hard to detect.

These body odors were similar to those emitted by the beasts of the old era when they were courting for a mate. However, for the mutated beasts of this era, this signified that they had a strong appetite for something.

Gluttony wasn’t rare in this era. Surprisingly, there were so many different species of creatures that were stimulated to have a strong appetite. That was rather problematic.

At least in Kabu’s knowledge system, there are drugs developed to stimulate the appetite of certain mutants for study and observation.

But what could act on different species at the same time, Kabu had never heard of.

Compared to this, however, Saurun’s danger worried Kabu even more.

In the traces of monsters he had discovered, there were already vicious creatures like the butcher and the Shadow Assassin. And in the depths of the ruins, there were even more powerful existences that were ready to make a move.

However, they were of higher rank and possessed relatively higher intelligence, so their ability to restrain themselves left them in the dark, acting as silent observers.

At the very least, Kabu had heard his father say that there was a strange species that could transform between humans and beasts in the dark northwest continent, where humans had yet to conquer the continent.

There were also a few mutated beasts with intelligence comparable to that of humans. In the turbulent times, all of the creatures were given a big reshuffle, and humans were no longer the only intelligent species.

Back in the camp, Kabu made up his mind and, with his authority, ordered the army to march on the battlefield of Sauron.

And just in case, he even brought Lia along, which made Zero’s original plan of luring him out of the mountain useless.

Find a quiet place, this is a machine tool processing factory.

The factory was full of metal equipment, which excited Lara, who was standing next to him.

As he looked at the golden bug’s cub, Zero revealed a thoughtful expression.

The reason why he was able to attract all sorts of monsters, including high-ranked creatures like the butcher and the Shadow Assassin, was not only because of his own blood.

What was more, it was Lala’s credit.

Originally, Zero had only wanted to attract a few low-level monsters, but he didn’t expect that some monsters like the Shadow Assassin would be attracted as well.

During this process, after repeated testing, it was known that the monsters were attracted to Lala’s scent.

And from the monster’s actions, what they most wanted to do was to eat Lala.

In this Monster’s Notes, there is no record of mutants preying on the same species, usually because of the repair of their own genes, or because of hunger and the lack of food.

But mutants don’t usually prey on other types of life, because completely different gene fragments can cause predator bodies to collapse.

Of course, human food, like the meat of a monk, is in the diet of all known monsters.

Therefore, the different kinds of monsters’ appetite for Lala forced Zero to re-examine the cub. This meant that Lala had something that these monsters wanted to take away from her.

There was only one possibility for monsters to finish eating monsters, and that was to replenish and evolve!

With its toothless mouth, Lara swallowed pieces of steel scrap into its bottomless belly and shook her head.

This gluttonous guy was simply a monster’s version of an evolution drug. If he sold it to other organizations or research institutes, he would probably be able to sell it for a good price.

Zero thought maliciously. Lala, who was enjoying the meal, suddenly shuddered.

As long as one was not blind, one could tell that Saurun was full of anger.

The army led by Kabu appeared just in time. The metallic torrent of machine guns and rapid fire cannons intimidated all the monsters present. The intense smell of gunpowder on the battlefield made all the nearby monsters retreat.

After being successfully rescued, Saurun’s face was filled with rage.

The source of his anger was naturally the zero that he had yet to reveal, and Kabu was surprised as well.

In his eyes, zero could only be considered outstanding, but it was far from being powerful.

However, such a person with at most rank 2 abilities had nearly caused Saurun to suffer a huge loss. It was no wonder that Saurun was so angry.

But in Kabuli, Saurun had no need to confront Zero.

Sauron’s mission would be accomplished by taking Leah back to the Dark Council.

As for Zero, there were other Blood Cavalry in the council to deal with him, if he was bent on saving the girl.

But when Kabu offered to leave tomorrow morning, he growled back at Sauron.

Saurun’s reason was simple. If he let this matter go, he and the Parkland family would lose all face.

For the glory of an ancient family, a successor like Saurun could take action without even thinking about it. At the height of the family’s glory, Kabu could not make Saurun give up on this idea.

However, he didn’t agree with wasting too much time on zero, so a suggestion that Sauron could reluctantly accept came out of Kabu’s mouth.

“Using that girl as a hostage to force yourself out?”

Saurun frowned. There was no doubt that this method was direct and useful.

From the way he regarded the girl, Sauron was almost certain that he would show himself, but there was doubt in his heart.

Kabu knew very well that the dignity of a Blood Cavalry Knight, the face of an ancient family, these were not important to hunters, but they were elements that restricted Saurun’s actions.

But Mr Kabu points out that if Mr Sauron fails to get his hands on zero in a short period of time, it will be a blow to the family’s reputation.

The trade-off was light, and Sauron eventually adopted Kabu’s proposal.

Thus, a threat that made zero have no choice but to submit took shape.
