“We’re never going to make it like this.”
Weed shouted towards the Tribal Alliance. “Retreat!”
The frontline was announced to withdraw.
Weed left the 10 trebuchets and tried to escape with the alliance tribesmen, but arrows kept
pouring down on them.
“Bingryong, fire your breath. Phoenix Brothers, cover us!”
Bingryong inhaled a large breath and launched Ice Breath towards the fortress. The
enormous Ice Breath cut through the sky!
The results of Bingryong’s breath had never disappointed before, but it was neutralized by
the protective magic of the fortress’s Priests. So although it didn’t do any damage to the
fortress, there was a brief lull in the arrow attack.
Under the cover of the Phoenixes, Weed and the alliance tribes were barely able to escape.

Cruel defeat.
It had only been a light skirmish, the allied tribal force had lost a full 104 people. Although
Weed had hurried to bandage and apply medicinal herbs, that was the number who had
died!
The alliance tribesmen who had been hit with divine power hadn’t regained their senses.
“Mmm hehehe.”
“Where is this place?”
“Leave me alone. I’m leaving to take my coming of age ceremony in the Valley of Courage.”
Due to the divine power, more than 70 people were in the state of confusion.
Morale had also plummeted.
“Doesn’t seem like an enemy we can win against.”
“That was a useless fight. I wanna return to the village...”
“Warriors who have left home must fight until their bodies have been laid to rest. Even if
they cannot win...”
The alliance tribes had lost much of their fighting will and were pessimistic.
A smile spread across Weed’s lips. “It really has to be this tough since the quest difficulty is
high.”
The more difficult a quest it was, the greater the reward — it set his motivation ablaze.
He was relieved he had to suffer perilously. If it advanced easily, he would have been terribly
suspicious.
“It’ll be difficult to capture the Embinyu fortress. Since the recon battle is over, I’ll have to
make a sculpture.”
Weed decided to prepare for a full-scale battle.
Since the alliance tribal force had left their homes, their morale would fall over time.
However, as a result of the recon battle, there was a bleak sense of an giant enemy.
“First, I’ll make a sculpture to provide some help.”
He was fed up with rocks, and it didn’t do much for his Sculpting skill proficiency either.
“For the sake of effects, this isn’t the time to save materials.”
Black Wild Boar and Caltrop bones. He decided to use the bones he’d gotten as japtem as
sculpting materials.
“Though these are good bones for making broth...”
