"Longqier!"
At the sound of that hearty laughter, the expressions of the high priests from the various divine kingdoms changed at once.
They had indeed expected that venturing deep into Withered Bone Fortress would be extremely dangerous.
But as long as they could rescue their children, taking some risks did not matter.
Yet now, they had not even caught sight of their children. Had they come here for nothing?
"Surprised? Actually, I'm somewhat surprised too. To be honest, your raid tonight was very successful."
"My subordinates are truly rather stupid. I told them to stay vigilant, yet they let their guard down at the moat in the rear."
"Fortunately, someone mysterious secretly warned us just now!"
Longqier looked triumphantly at the high priests of the various divine kingdoms.
In the distance, more than ten thousand Beastfolk were already gathering outside the temple, locked in a chaotic battle with the elite guard units accompanying the divine kingdom priests.
"What mysterious person?"
The high priests of the various divine kingdoms froze when they heard the words "mysterious person."
Had the Beastfolk not discovered them on their own?
"I don't know what sort of mysterious person it was either, but judging from their build, they should have been human."
"Who would have thought there were actually people within your human divine kingdoms lurking in Withered Leaf Fortress?"
"However, in consideration of that warning just now, as long as the divine kingdom among you steps forward voluntarily, I, Longqier, will absolutely not pursue the matter."
"Moreover, from now on, we can coexist peacefully with the Beastfolk!"
"There are so many races on the Sacred Continent. We Beastfolk cannot occupy the entirety of the vast Aio Continent anyway!"
Seeing the uncertain, suspicious looks on the high priests' faces, Longqier continued speaking with a laugh.
"What?
