Chapter 221 : The alliance of five village

"Father, are we really going to make an alliance with those North Village bastards?" a young man with short black hair asked, his face creased in a frown.

"We have no choice," the middle-aged man sternly replied, his own expression marked by a frown. "What distinguishes an enemy from a friend? It all depends on the interests of the forces, and for now, our priority is to survive this calamity."

"When I was first informed by the North Village, I didn't believe it. After all, the beast tide happened not too long ago. But when I sent my own people to investigate, it was true," he sighed, his silver hair reminiscent of the young man's.

"And this time, the beast tide is even more terrifying than the previous one. Surviving for our village will be the true challenge. As for revenge, just forget about it."

"But I am not reconciled."

"Sigh, leave, Earl," the father said, his tone heavy.

Earl stormed off, leaving the makeshift camp that had been constructed not too long ago.

After seeing his son leave, Aiden rubbed his forehead, a frown etched on his face.

"I need to train these kids more. Since his sister was killed by the assassin sent by the North Village, his rationality has been lost. We can't bring the dead back to life, so what's the point of revenge if there is no benefit to it?" Aiden's tone was extremely cold, showing little concern for his own blood.

In fact, he was even more grateful since his sister took the arrow that was meant for Earl, who was a high-grade talent, albeit barely, by taking fifty steps.

"Her death was worth it," Aiken thought as he continued with his work.

…

Earl looked into the distance, patiently waiting. The only team that had not arrived was from the North Village. All the other villages had arrived and even set up tents in just a few moments.

Even the nomad villages, typically known for their swift movements, had already arrived.

However, the North Village team was still nowhere to be seen. It was natural, considering these locations were actually the farthest away from the North Village.

Undoubtedly, they would need to travel at least half a day to reach here, whereas for the other villages, it was relatively just an hour's journey.

For a wizard, it wasn't too hard to set up tents in just a blink of an eye, especially for a logistic wizard who mastered such types of spells.

Suddenly, as Earl watched towards the north, he felt the temperature slowly decrease, and he could see a small white dot coming towards them, growing larger and larger before his eyes.

"No, this is freezing ice."

Swish!

Instantly, all the trees in the area, along with some unlucky animals, froze in place, almost reaching Earl.

"What's this?" he thought, his expression filled with shock.

Crack!

The ice started to break just as it was created, and instantly, a layer of the forest disappeared as far as his vision could see.

Earl looked at this with a stunned expression. He glanced behind him and almost screamed in shock, but he managed to calm down.

"Noah has arrived," Aiden said in a light tone, looking at the distance.

"Tsk, he is the last to arrive and he has the audacity to show off," a woman who had already arrived next to Aiden spoke with a cold expression.

Even though she knew that the North Village was the farthest and needed the most time, she still complained.

Aiden looked at the woman with a smile, as well as the other two men who had arrived at some point.

Soon, they saw a shadow rapidly approaching them.

"Eh, not bad. His speed seemed to have increased by at least ten percent since I last saw him," Aiden thought, his expression startled.

Whoosh!

The shadow landed, revealing Noah, who looked at them with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Noah, I thought you wouldn't arrive," the woman spoke with a smile.

"How could I not arrive?" Noah said, a glint in his eyes.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Aiden was stunned. "Weren't you the one who was complaining? Why did you change your attitude one hundred and eighty degrees?" he grumbled in his heart.

Soon, shadows appeared in the distance, and the elders landed one by one, casually setting up camp while Noah patiently waited.

"Oh, who did you bring more?" Aiden asked curiously.

Noah just smiled mysteriously. Earl has already been ignored and he tacitly withdrew as well he is not qualified to talk when tier three wizards are talking.

Soon, they finally saw two similar shadows in the distance. However, as they got closer, Aiden's eyes narrowed when he realised they were two youths instead.

Finally, he saw the bulky youth among the two overtake the golden-haired boy and effortlessly slam him into the ground, making the earth tremble with his might.

Hoo–

Aur took a deep breath and casually went behind Noah. As for the golden-haired boy, he seemed to have paused and appeared to be panting, probably from mana exhaustion.

Although drying up the mana in the mental space didn't actually harm the body, if the spell is heavily used and all the mana is instantly used, if the body is not strong enough, it will cause exhaustion in the best-case scenario. However, in the worst-case scenario, the wizard might die.

That's why there was still some importance given to the body, but at the same time, spells were always the main weapon after all.

"I didn't expect you to bring the young guys," Aiken spoke with a smile.

Noah just smiled. If it weren't for the survival stakes of the village, the old bastard would probably start planning the assassination of these two youths.

He could probably imagine him already planning the assassination after this disaster is finished.

"Alright, since you have arrived, the negotiation should be done now."

"Yes," Noah nodded his head.

At this time, the fifth elder arrived. "Leader, the camp has already been constructed."

"Good," Noah nodded his head.

"Let's immediately start the negotiation."

The moment he said those words, the expression of everyone turned serious. This could be the fate of the entire village, so by no means could it be taken lightly.
