The Silver Fang Clan stared at the huge Lothkar, standing there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
The decisiveness that Lothcar had just shown was beyond their imagination.
They never imagined that Lothcar, who had been so kind and warm to each of them in the past, would do such a thing in front of them.
Lotkar turned his head slowly, and many villagers' hair stood on end.
Several guards quickly stood at the front of the crowd, baring their teeth, and were on guard against Lothkar.
If Lothcar jumped off the platform, they would rush over to prevent the tragedy of seven years ago from happening again.
However, Lotkar did not attack. He scanned the crowd, looking for a figure, but failed to find one.
Leaping down from the square platform, the huge wolf suddenly shrank in size, and the silver-white magic power scattered in the air. Lotkar turned back into his original burly orc posture.
In full view of everyone, he walked towards Kaibu who was lying in a pool of blood.
In the end, Lotkar still spared Kaibu's life, and his sharp fangs did not pierce Kaibu's throat.
This was not Lotkar's kindness.
Even though he more or less understood why Kaibu became like that, Lotkar could never forgive Kaibu for what he had done.
If Kaibu had knelt down and admitted all his sins and apologized sincerely when he said those words.
Perhaps, there is still a possibility that I can forgive him.
But Lotkar knew that Kaibu would never make any concessions. He chose a bottomless dead end, and the two of them would definitely fight to the death.
The altar used for sacrifice is not a battlefield to end one's life.
Lotkar was afraid that if he did not control the murderous intent in his heart and tore Kaibu into pieces on the field, today's scene would inevitably become a nightmare in the hearts of many tribesmen, making them unable to sleep and living in fear every day.
Lotkar had experienced that feeling before, and he didn't want his people to suffer the same pain as he had.
Kaibu was lying in a pool of blood, dying. His body temperature was rapidly dropping. If he was left alone, he would soon die from excessive blood loss.
With his back to all the villagers, Lotkar shouted:
“Listen to me, all of you.
Next, I will tell you the whole truth, and then, I will take this guy's life without mercy.
If you still believe in this guy, rush over and save him.
otherwise"
Lotkar did not continue speaking, but began to tell the villagers everything he had learned.
Lotkar knew that such words were not enough, and he didn't know how many people would believe what he said.
But none of this matters.
Lotkar just wanted to tell the villagers here everything he had experienced, that's all.
The villagers looked at each other, not knowing whether they should believe what Lothkar said.
"I can prove it!!"
At this moment, a female voice came from the other side of the stream. It was from Mengyue, who was being guarded by Kaibu's confidant.
Kaibu's cronies followed Kaibu's request and escorted Mengyue to a cave near a small waterfall, waiting for the end of the sacrificial battle. After Kaibu completed the succession ceremony of the patriarch, he escorted Mengyue to the center of the square platform to try and purge her.
However, these confidants never expected that Lotkar would come back, throw Kaibu into the stream in that way, and soon take Kaibu's life.
If everything Lotkar said was true and Kaibu died as a result, they didn't know what to do.
Sensing the disappointment of Kaibu's confidant, Mengyue seized the opportunity, used her fangs to tear off the cloth gag in her mouth, and shouted loudly.
Kaibu's confidants did not stop him. Instead, they pulled Mengyue out of the cave and brought her to the other side of the stream, facing Lotkar.
“Release Kaibu, we are all comrades of the same tribe, and this is on the day of the Full Moon Festival.
If you do this, I will let your daughter go.”
Looking at Kaibu's confidants on the other side of the river, Lotkar shook his head.
"It's too late."
If the villagers had rushed up immediately after listening to Lothkar's story, Kaibu, whose magic power was lost along with his blood, could still be saved.
but
Lotkar half-knelt down, pressed Kaibu's neck, and strangled his last breath.
Rather than handing Kaibu over to that group of people and letting them watch him die, it would be better to take Kaibu’s life with my own hands.
Since I have to bear the sin anyway, at least let others have it easier.
Kaibu's henchmen on the other side of the river suddenly widened their eyes, unable to control their anger.
"What on earth are you doing! Did you deliberately lure us out here? Don't you care what your daughter becomes?"
“I didn’t have that plan, and I didn’t expect Meng Yue to be in your hands.
Mengyue is in your hands, and I feel relieved that you brought her out like this.
Everything is over now, and my revenge is over."
There were familiar faces on the other side of the river. Lotkar knew that even if he didn't go to save Mengyue, she would be fine.
Lotkar stood up again and looked towards Mengyue.
"Mengyue, you have really grown up.
Forgive me, I will bear everything.
In the days that follow, you may be looked down upon and criticized.
But please believe that one day, this village will return to its former peace.
Everyone will contribute to protecting the stability of the village.
Just be patient and wait.”
"Father." Meng Yue's lips trembled slightly. "Father did nothing wrong. It's all that guy's fault. He made father become like this! We have a lot of evidence about him, hidden in mother's grave.
My mother believed until her death that my father would come back, and I also believed that my father would come back."
Although he had more or less expected that his wife might have passed away, when Lotkar learned the news from his daughter, he still felt extremely sad.
"You are indeed a very strong girl, just like the girl I met. Perhaps you two will become close friends.
pity"
As early as the moment he stole the essence of the race, Lotkar had already given up the position of patriarch and decided to focus on his own revenge.
Perhaps, if Yang Yu had not been captured by the plant tribe, he would have been able to come up with a better solution, giving him more options.
But now, there is no better choice than to leave.
After making this choice, the person Lotkar felt most sorry for was the old patriarch. He had always been placed with high hopes, but in the end he still failed to lead his people as the old patriarch had envisioned.
"Mengyue, my beloved daughter, see you later."
A silver light enveloped Lothkar's whole body again, and a huge silver wolf appeared out of thin air, and then returned rapidly along the original path at lightning speed.
No one caught up, and no one could catch up.
