Chapter 218 - A Kill From Miles Away
"Master, what are you planning to—"
As Fenriri and the others wondered what Albion was trying to do, he took a sudden javelin stance and activated [Eyes of Ashura], expanding his range of vision beyond 100kms.
Swoosh~!
In the next instance, the spear in Albion's hand disappeared with a powerful gust of wind as it tore through several buildings and walls, continuing its onward trajectory at Mach speed.
A few moments later, Albion furrowed his brows before turning to another wolf-man rebel with a spear in hand.
"Mind if I borrow that spear too?"
"I won't be getting it back either, right? My Lord?"
"Yes, but also no. It depends, really." Albion gave the wolf-man rebel a casual glance before asking, "Ever played a game of fetch? I toss, and you fetch it."
Swish~!
The spear was hurled with overwhelming force, disappearing instantly into the distance in a similar fashion.
"Well, good luck finding it, though," Albion muttered.
The wolf-man rebel glanced in the direction of the disappeared spear before his lips twitched. Only God would know where the spear went.

Stronghold 06
With a large cage close to the center of the stronghold, the entirety of A-rank Team Netherfrost was held captive.
"These demihumans are really stupid. They lock us behind cages, but they don't confiscate our communication devices, allowing us to keep in touch with the outside world," Nakamura Tenshin commented disdainfully while surfing the news on his smartphone.
Klaus Rohmer glanced over curiously before noticing that Nakamura Tenshin was using incognito mode and even had several tabs.
"Why do you need to use incognito mode? What do you have hidden in those other tabs, aye? Come, let me have a look too!"
"Oi, oi! Give that back!"
Klaus Rohmer suddenly snatched the smartphone from Nakamura Tenshin's hand before he quickly found out that they were NSFW tabs and burst into a fit of laughter.
"Hahaha! Tenshin, my bro, you got balls! Even in this situation, you still have the luxury to visit porn sites!" Klaus Rohmer laughed raucously, attracting attention before his expression suddenly froze for a moment.
"Ugh… These searches, though… BBC? Milf? BDSM? Reverse-rape? Tenshin, my bro, you have…diverse tastes…" Klaus Rohmer chuckled awkwardly.
Nakamura Tenshin glared at him and snatched his phone back before spitting, "I don't know what you are talking about it! Don't slander me!"
"Hahaha, it's alright. There's no need to be embarrassed. Everyone watches these things in their spare time…"
"But they don't get called out in public for it! You're not a real bro, Klaus!" Nakamura Tenshin spat grudgingly.
At the same time, he could feel and see the disgusted looks from their female party members.
Nevertheless, Xue Xinya slightly frowned and said, "Don't waste your battery, and only use it when it's absolutely necessary. We don't know how long we will be kept here."
"Xinya is right," Anika Fischer agreed with a nod before she sighed, "If only we had a lightning-user in the party, then we would not need to worry about running out of batteries."
"Nothing we can do about that. Just be thankful that we are even alive—unlike most of the residents at this stronghold," Xue Xinya said before asking, "How did everyone's family respond? Will they send a rescue team?"
Once Xue Xinya raised the question, the mood inside the cage suddenly became depressive as Team Netherfrost appeared in low spirits.
"According to the information we provided, our family suspects that the demihuman leader will require the strength of one of the emperors at least. But, unfortunately, none of our families have been able to contact the emperors," Lucy Walker sighed.
"Right. Without the emperors, the Hunter Association cannot gather a strong enough force to launch a punitive expedition. And with communication with the demihumans being impossible, we cannot find out what they want from us either."
"Shhh, quiet down. The demihumans are gathering towards the square," Nakamura Tenshin hushed before saying, "Seems like something big is about to happen. I better record this in case we discover some vital information to send to our families."
As Nakamura Tenshin said that, he quickly switched on his phone's camera recorder.
…
Lord Bahram stood on an elevated platform in the square sometime later and gazed down at the gathered wolf-people.
"My brothers! My sisters! The time of our revolution has come. For centuries, the Fen family, descendants of Fenrir, have lived lavish lifestyles, enjoying benefits that come from the fruits of our labor!"
"The great ancestor, Fenrir, has indeed led our tribe to a time of prosperity and glory, allowing our tribe to stand tall as a hegemon on the plains of ice and snow! But what have his descendants done for us in those past centuries?"
"Nothing but decadence and decline! So much so, we now stand equal to the Blackfrost Dragon Tribe, Wintersnow Rabbit Tribe, and the Blizzard Petrel Tribe! Why should the Fen family continue to lead us in this new world? Why should we continue to grovel and world like slaves?! I say that day ends here!"
Awoo!!
The wolf-people howled loudly with enthusiasm after having their blood riled by Lord Bahram's eloquent and magnificent speech.
They seemed to have forgotten that Lord Bahram was from a branch family, and he, too, shared a sliver of Fenrir's bloodline.
Nevertheless, that did not need to be mentioned.
"Words have arrived that Chief Fenrigos will be crossing over soon! Steel your will! Sharpen your fangs and claws! In 10 minutes, we ride to the World Gate, wait for Chief Fenrigos, then take his head! We do not need an incompetent leader!"
"Hou! Long live Lord Bahram!"
"Only Lord Bahram is worthy of leading us!"
Basking in the glory of their previous victory against the humans, the wolf-people cheered for Lord Bahram to be the new chief.
"For the glory and prosperity of the tribe—!" Lord Bahram shouted and raised his fist with a confident grin.
Puchi—!
In that instance, a wild spear suddenly shot over from the horizon tore his raised arm off, causing Lord Bahram to freeze in shock before the wave of pain assaulted him!
"Guh—Arghhh!" Lord Bahram exclaimed painfully.
Before anyone could process what happened, another spear shot over shortly after and finished Lord Bahram off with a direct headshot, blowing a huge hole in his brain.
Plop!
Lord Bahram's body eventually dropped to the ground with a heavy thud and laid motionlessly.
A deadly silence soon filled the stronghold's central square with a cold chill.
