Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 31: The Death of Sovita

After issuing the retreat order, Lupus fired over a dozen arrows in quick succession, halting the Chew Bone Tribe plunderers' next attack. Other uninjured members did the same.

Significantly slowing the plunderers' advance.

However, the situation remained grim.

To confront the supernatural giant crocodiles in the lake, Enzo had taken away many Battle squad members, leaving just over ten defenders in the camp along with members of the hunting squad.

After the Battle squad retreated to the camp, Rhode and Anse led the hunting squad members forward to provide reinforcement.

Rhode asked, "Lupus, have you identified who the enemy is?"

Lupus replied, "It's the Chew Bone Tribe!"

The plunderers of the Chew Bone Tribe were easily recognizable because they made little effort to conceal themselves and fought with reckless abandon, seemingly unconcerned with their own lives.

For instance, they had previously rolled down from high places to launch rapid attacks, displaying a dangerously unprotected approach.

Upon hearing Lupus' response, Rhode and Anse realized the seriousness of the situation. They immediately sought out old Priest Sovita, who was comforting other members of the tribe, and relayed Lupus' message.

"Chew Bone Tribe!"

Upon hearing the news, Sovita's face turned pale.

After a moment of contemplation, he immediately commanded, "Have all adult males of the tribe shoot arrows to stop the plunderers of the Chew Bone Tribe's advance. As long as we hold out until Lord Enzo returns, we will be fine!"

Rhode and Anse nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Fortunately, the tribe had produced many bows and arrows during peacetime, and their stockpile was plentiful. Under Rhode and Anse's direction, arrows were constantly flying towards the plunderers of the Chew Bone Tribe, preventing them from getting close.

This relieved the tribe members, who breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the plunderers of the Chew Bone Tribe cursed loudly, "Damn it, what kind of weapon is this?"

Some turned to Crue, asking, "Crue, Mog said you were commanding this operation. What's your plan now? If we delay Lord's matters, we can't afford the consequences!"

Crue looked at the incoming arrows, his eyes flickering with a hint of thought.

But the next moment, he said decisively, "You all hide for now. I'll handle this myself."

Dozens of plunderers did not argue.

Being assigned such a crucial task by Mog, despite their dislike for Crue, who had joined midway, they acknowledged Crue's sufficient strength.

Especially fearsome was Crue's Wind Blade technique, unquestionably terrifying.

Meanwhile.

In the camp, Lupus relaxed considerably upon seeing the disappearance of the Chew Bone Tribe plunderers. He quickly directed his people to carry the injured team members into the cave for careful attention and care.

The next moment, his body suddenly split in two and collapsed to the ground.

He didn't die immediately but lifted his hand, eyes wide open in extreme reluctance, desperately wanting to touch something.

"Captain!"

Members of the Battle squad cried out in grief.

Rhode and Anse stood frozen in disbelief, shouting, "Lupus!"

Sovita forcefully suppressed his inner grief and anger, yelling to the other tribespeople, "Everyone, find shelter! This is the Wind Blade of the Chagga Tribe Priest!"

However, even as he warned them, the Wind Blade claimed several more lives.

Although some members of the tribe noticed and raised their spears to block it, the spears were still cut off by the wind blade without any effect, and the body of the tribe members was once again broken in two.?

"Damn it!"

Rhode and Anse's eyes burned with fury.

Yet before Crue, they felt utterly helpless, like children.

Just then, a cry echoed through the tribe, "Captain Tia is back!"

Amy supported Tia, her wounds slowly healing. But as they entered the camp, the strong smell of blood hit them, and the sight of bodies strewn across the camp made Tia's face go pale.

Something had gone terribly wrong!

Tia immediately sought out Sovita, who, after a brief explanation, anxiously asked, "Tia, has Lord Enzo not returned?"

Tia replied, "Lord Enzo needs more time."

Hearing this, Sovita nodded in understanding.

It was then he noticed Tia's pale complexion and how she was being supported by Amy.

Guilt washed over Sovita's aged face. Whether during his time as Priest or now, he felt inadequate in protecting the tribe's safety.

He spoke softly, "Tia, go rest for now. The camp won't face major issues temporarily."

Tia shook her head, saying, "No, I can still help."

Sovita sighed deeply but didn't refuse her offer.

While the two were talking, Wind Blades continued to shoot forth, cleaving everything in their path in half. The entire camp was filled with the cries and screams of tribal members, chaos reigning supreme.

Tia was filled with urgency, thinking, "We can't keep going like this!"

Sensing her body had recovered sufficiently to wield the strength of the boar again, Tia picked up a spear. She glanced towards where the Wind Blades were shooting from, stood up, and a silver-white light shimmered around her. Taking aim, she hurled the spear in that direction. The spear reached the spot where the Wind Blade was launched in an instant.

Crue's face twisted with fear as he hastily dodged aside.

Filled with rage, he immediately unleashed seven or eight Wind Blades, all aimed directly at Tia's position.

In the camp, Amy sensed the danger and shouted out, "Tia, be careful!"

At that moment, Sovita also had a premonition of the impending events.

Unlike Amy's sense of imminent danger, Sovita's premonitions were more specific, but due to his advanced age, he couldn't actively control this ability and it only occasionally came into play.

This time, it was just like that.

He foresaw that Tia would be hit by a Wind Blade, severing one of her legs.

Sovita was filled with great urgency in his heart. He dashed towards Tia's location in a rush, so frantic that he couldn't even give a warning. All he could do was forcefully push Tia aside...

Himself was cut in two by an extremely covert wind blade.

Tia stared blankly at the scene, overwhelmed with immense grief that rendered her unable to speak.

Sovita's upper body lay on the ground, gritting his teeth as he mustered his last strength to say to her, "I'm sorry... child. When you wanted to rise as a tribe's warrior, I lied to you about the tribal fire is enough.But your parents have already sacrificed for the tribe, and you are their only child. Becoming a tribe's warrior requires shouldering significant responsibilities, this is..."

Sovita couldn't finish his sentence, his heartbeats had already ceased.

Tia shouted, "Grandpa Sovita!"

Unfortunately, Sovita could no longer respond to her.

Upon hearing Tia's cry, the other tribe members were filled with grief and anger, each of them emerging and hurling spears with all their might towards the direction of the Wind blade's attack.

Crue naturally remained indifferent to this.

Among the people in the camp, only Tia posed any threat to him.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a powerful presence approaching. Crue's expression changed as he ordered the other plunderers of the Chew Bone Tribe, "Retreat!"

The other plunderers were puzzled, but Crue did not explain. He immediately fled towards a distance.

Left with no choice, the remaining plunderers begrudgingly followed suit, seething with frustration.

...

Back at the camp.

Enzo, who had finally returned, watched the scene before him with a darkening expression.

Suppressing his anger, he asked the crowd, "Who did this?"

Heru stepped forward and implored Enzo, "Lord Priest, it was the Chew Bone Tribe! Please give the order for me to lead our people to eradicate the Chew Bone Tribe!"

Other tribe members also shouted, "Destroy the Chew Bone Tribe!"

Enzo crouched down, attempting to use the power of the totem to mend Sovita's body... but unfortunately, it had no effect.

Sovita was already completely deceased, and even the totem's power, infused with the golden crystal, could not bring him back to life.

Enzo stood up again and asked, "Do we have the current location of the Chew Bone Tribe?"

Lupus stepped forward, suppressing his grief, and replied, "Lord Priest, during the battle, we marked the plunderers with tracking powder taught by Instructor Clara. Once they return to their current camp, we can confirm their location."

Hearing this, Enzo nodded.

He exhaled deeply and instructed the tribe members to clean up the bodies in the camp.

The bodies of the deceased tribal people were gathered together, amounting to a total of sixteen.

Enzo remained silent for a long time, especially upon seeing Sovita's body. In his heart, he said, "Rest assured, Sovita..I will destroy the Chew Bone Tribe and make the Crimson Star Tribe even stronger, so strong that no one would dare to offend us! "

"Also, your beloved ancestral homeland... I will lead our people back to see it."

Enzo said in his heart before closing his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and instructed the others.

"Bury them here in the camp. This is their home."
