Chapter 437
Chapter 437 Pact
Nightfall. The brutelephant’s territory had been invaded by an adept.
After a brutal battle, five deaths, and severe wounds on the brutelephant leader’s part, they had finally managed to drive off the frightening fire adept.
Yet, just as the numerous magical creatures of the Black Forest were going about their leisurely activities the next night, terror descended once more. Maulhill, occupied by the tribe of a hundred ogres, was set on fire. The crackling sound of flames sounded throughout the woods.
The bloody battle persisted throughout the night.
When day once again graced the magical creatures, they were shocked to find Maulhill burned beyond recognition.
The ogre leader, Two-Headed Ogre Zac was furious. If it weren’t for the advice of Three-Headed Demon Hound Unguja, it would have led all of his subordinates towards that human’s tower in a murderous rage.
The evil fire adept was finally forced to sign a temporary truce pact after Dana’s intimidation and persuasion.
The adept’s tower was not to expand into the northern forest for the next two years. Any of the adepts belonging to the Fire Throne were also forbidden from entering the territories of the magical creatures.
In exchange, the magical creature leaders would acknowledge the existence of Fire Throne and place the surrounding ten-kilometer area under the tower’s jurisdiction. All leader-level magical creatures were not allowed to cross the boundary and abduct the subsidiaries of the tower. They were also not allowed to attack any humans who were within the tower’s safe zone.
This pact was crude and simple, but it certainly expressed the reluctance of both sides to escalate the conflict. The limitations and rules of the agreement only extended to leader-level magical creatures and the adepts of the tower. Not a single word mentioned the ordinary magical creatures or the apprentice adepts.
This was also a preparation made for the conflict that was likely to resume in the future!
This pact unexpectedly won the support of all the magical creatures once it was established.
They all believed that this pact effectively restrained the reach of the humans and their adept’s tower. They thought that this had practically chased the human adepts out of the Black Forest. As for the mercenaries and apprentices sent out by the humans? Just as they were trying to hunt the beasts and magical creatures, the magical creatures were also excitedly waiting for a chance to pursue them.
Greem, on the other hand, was secretly relieved.
The establishment of the safe zone would subtly increase the image and prestige of Fire Throne in the eyes of the mercenaries and outsider adepts. A law that even magical creatures would have to follow was undoubtedly impressive news.
Compared to magical creatures, the humans were the best at exploiting rules to their advantage!
The safety of Fire Throne would increase by several-fold once this pact restricted the movements of the magical creature leaders. Greem put down his worries and could leave Fire Throne now that this was done.
However, before he left, he still had to transfer most of the control authority over to Gargamel. After the complicated and strict process of transferring power, Gargamel essentially possessed control authority over the entire tower. Apart from Greem’s room on the fourth floor and the entirety of the fifth floor, Gargamel could go in and out of anywhere else within the tower.
Greem believed that Fire Throne was in good hands. He had the sharp Gargamel managing everything, with Eva secretly aiding him in the shadows, along with Unguja and Dana, their two spies.
Not to mention, the small teleportation array on the fifth floor had also been constructed. If anything happened in Fire Throne, Greem could return here within minutes as long as he was willing to pay the expensive teleportation fee.
Greem finally started on the journey towards Gilneas City after making all the necessary arrangements. He brought along Sabrina and Billis, a beginner apprentice that Gargamel had recommended to him.
