"That's a foul! That Fish-Man wasn't hunting at all!" The long-faced elder angrily accused Sig of his actions.
If Sig had been there, he would have been able to tell that Zieg's anger was a "powerless rage" masking his panic.
Just now, when it was already late at night, Sig led more than twenty Sea King and charged directly into Axedevo's territory.
"Elder Sangchid, this is the Sea Trial. They haven't violated any of the trial rules." The short, thin elder with a long white beard retorted.
"Elder Long! He's using the Cloud Fierce Beast to attack our hunting grounds in Axedevo!" Sangchid's face grew even longer.
"If using cloud beasts to interfere with other trial participants is a foul, then too many teams have already committed fouls. As for the hunting area... there is no such thing as a hunting area in the trial." Long looked thin and short, but his aura was not weak.
Spectator stayed up late to watch the trial also noticed the "lively" scene on the elders' platform. Judging from Sangchid's excited appearance, everyone could guess that it was because of the attack by the Cloud Fierce Beast.
After all, having so many Cloud Fierce Beast together is quite eye-catching.
"What does the elder of Axedevo want to do? Mutel didn't foul!"
"That's not entirely true... I think Mutel deliberately chose a Fish-Man from the Blue Sea. Speaking of which, how can Fish-Man from the Blue Sea command Cloud Fierce Beast?"
"This isn't Mutel's problem! I think they'll interfere if any small clan threatens their position."
"That's right. Mutel used to be a large clan. The rules of the trial have been changed frequently in recent years, but the clan origins of the elders have become less and less important!"
"Enough! This is the result of generations of hard work by our ancestors, Banka, are you trying to provoke us?"
In the Spectator, the atmosphere became noticeably agitated, with various arguments erupting between the smaller and larger clans.
It's a pity Sig isn't here, otherwise if he threw "Frenzy" around everywhere, a brawl would definitely break out!
Meanwhile, in the Sea of Giant Beasts, Wade and his group were cursing incessantly...
"Damn it! Killing this Cloud Fierce Beast is useless, it doesn't even have a scoreboard!"
Why are they all attacking us?
"Who's behind this? Think about yourselves, have you received anything from others?"
"Lunka, watch out... Oh no! If this keeps up, forget about taking a break for the relay, we'll be fighting tooth and nail to advance..."
"Damn it, why are these Cloud Fierce Beast so ferocious?"
After Sig had earned enough points, he immediately gathered a group of Cloud Fierce Beast to cause trouble for Axedevo – since they were going to target Mutel anyway, they might as well minimize the number of their advancements.
Axedevo has over sixty Warrior. Logically, if they were to fight to the death against more than twenty Cloud Fierce Beast, Axedevo's trial team would definitely win.
However, such a direct confrontation is clearly not worthwhile. Even if there were points to be gained, they would not choose to face more than twenty Cloud Fierce Beast at once, especially since these Cloud Fierce Beast currently have no points to be gained!
Killing all twenty-odd of them would not only consume a lot of physical strength and time, but would also inevitably result in casualties.
At first, the people of Axedevo thought that, as usual, as long as they gained the upper hand and made these Cloud Fierce Beast bleed, they could scare them away.
After all, Cloud Fierce Beast are generally not very intelligent, even less so than ordinary sea beasts. They might even start cannibalizing each other while fighting...
However, this time the situation was completely different. More than twenty Cloud Fierce Beast were all extremely ferocious, and being injured could not trigger their survival instincts!
The land grab in Axedevo has caused such a stir that it has naturally attracted many onlookers.
After witnessing this scene, many people placed Mutel in a "don't mess with him" position— Axedevo was only passively attacked by the beast horde and didn't know what happened, but Mutel attracted the attention of the trial participants on the way he led the beast horde. After being informed and spread among themselves, the trial participants who watched Axedevo being beaten, like the Spectator in the Holy Land, knew what had happened!
Without letting Angel and the others follow, Sig had already ventured deep into the battle alone, but instead of revealing himself, he hid in the shadows.
If someone were to watch Sig's Recording Shell at this point, they would surely think that everyone in Axedevo had gone blind—from Seven's perspective, they weren't hiding anywhere that couldn't be seen, so how come no one noticed?
Of course, Sig wasn't idle either, occasionally unleashing a "Frenzy" attack, making both sides increasingly bloody and heated!
Since Conqueror's Haki is something that cannot be seen, the effect it creates appears to be due to their own impulsiveness, so naturally no one noticed that Seven had "attacked" Axedevo's people.
Just then, Elder Kashi rode his Four-winged Bird and arrived before Angel.
"Your Angel of Mutel, please bring your husband back." Kasi patted his mount and landed in front of Angel and the others.
"Huh? Seven fouled?" Angel asked, feigning ignorance.
Seeing Angel's serious expression, Kasi sighed inwardly, already sensing that the internal conflicts within Bilca were becoming increasingly acute—it wasn't like this more than twenty years ago when he had just become an elder!
"No, but... the elders unanimously agreed that the two princes of Mutel can be directly promoted," Kasi explained helplessly.
Seeing that Angel remained silent, Kasi added, "After all, when this trial began, the ancestors probably didn't anticipate that the Fish-Man of the Blue Sea would be able to control the Cloud Fierce Beast."
Yes, the Sky Island person have subtly developed a great deal of misunderstanding about the Fish-Man Race!
Kasi was about to retire and didn't want to deal with these stressful things, so she was explaining things to Angel.
"Huh? What are the Divine Soldier Unit doing here?" Angel suddenly noticed that many Sky Island Warrior riding Four-winged Bird were approaching.
She recognized them immediately; they were the Guardian of Bilca, the Divine Soldier Unit directly under the Elder Council!
"Since it was an unexpected situation, Elder Sangchid suggested that we first take the Scattered Cloud Fierce Beast ..." Kasi explained without much confidence.
He wasn't guilty; he just found it troublesome, even though he was about to retire.
"I cannot accept this."
Before Angel could answer, Sig emerged from the shadows.
Kasi looked puzzled—had he become deaf and blind? His "Mantra" hadn't detected anything just now...
"If the Elder Council of Bilca can arbitrarily send Divine Soldier Unit to assist certain trial teams, what's the point of conducting trials? Is it just to show off the power of the Elder Council?" Sig said in a very loud voice.
Bilca's social structure is ultimately a clan system, not a centralized one. Sig, who had been observing Kasi's emotions, felt even more confident.
"No, after all, the focus of the trial is hunting..." Kasi argued.
Sig interrupted, "Hunting isn't just about staring at your target; nature is also part of the adversary... These are all gifts from nature!"
Sig forced himself to attribute this scene to the wondrous work of nature.
"Huh?" Kasi was about to say something.
However, Sig had already taken to the air using the Wing Shell, blocking the Warrior of the hundred Divine Soldier Unit.
"Are you Princess Mutel's husband? What do you want?" the leading Divine Soldier Captain demanded, pointing his lance at Sig.
"As a citizen of Bilca, I... swear to uphold the justice of the trial!" Sig declared passionately.
At the same time, Sig didn't forget to throw "Frenzy" at the members of the other trial teams around him.
As expected, the other trial teams, who were already dissatisfied upon seeing this scene, also voiced their support.
Lucky Roo, watching the broadcast from the Holy Land, almost bit his tooth—when did you become a subject of Bilca?
