After leaving the priest's tent, Jiang You left the Royal Court's encampment and headed toward his tribespeople.
Though the war had been won, they could not leave immediately.
As he left the Royal Court's encampment, the Eagleman warrior from the Royal Court told him something.
If he could not stop worrying about his tribe, he could return first.
The warrior seemed certain that Jiang You would return to the Royal Court someday.
It was not just him. Everyone in the Eagleman Royal Court seemed equally confident!
Then he told Jiang You that, three days later, he would need to attend a victory celebration the various races had prepared for the Thunder Titan Yateli!
Everyone would be required to lavish praise on the great Thunder Titan!
After finding his tribespeople, they returned to the camp where the tribal Eaglemen had first been housed.
Only then did Jiang You discover that fewer than one in ten of the tribal Eaglemen in the entire camp had survived. Every survivor had tears in their eyes and moved like the walking dead.
This war had drained the lifeblood of the Eagleman tribes across the great wilderness!
Yet the Royal Court stood high above them, and no one dared resist.
Only then did Jiang You ask what his tribespeople had been through.
A Sang explained that after Jiang You had drawn away the Two-Headed Flying Dragon, a squad of Royal Court Eagleman warriors had conscripted them on the spot, assigned them to the cannon-fodder ranks, and placed them at the very front to face the flocks of Griffins on the dragons' side.
More than a dozen tribespeople had soon fallen in battle. Fortunately, their bronze armor had protected them, and the war had ended after the Titan Giant tore the Blue Dragon King apart. Only that had kept their losses from growing even worse!
"The Royal Court's Eagleman warriors always stay at the very back, ordering the tribal Eaglemen into battle. That's why the Royal Court suffers the fewest casualties in every war!"
"That's why fewer than one in ten tribal Eaglemen survive!"
After hearing this, Jiang You's anger toward the Eagleman Royal Court burned even fiercer!
He made up his mind. Once he returned this time, he would no longer give a damn about the Royal Court's orders.
As for the High Barbarian Mountain Tribe's current home, he would leave it as soon as he found a better place to settle.
After all, in one year's time...
The ultimate war between the Titans and the dragons would erupt. Whether the Eagleman Royal Court would even survive was an open question.
On the third day.
Jiang You and his tribespeople sat quietly in the camp, waiting in silence for the Titan Giant's arrival.
When the sun stood high and its heat was fiercest.
Thunderous footsteps approached from afar!
A Titan Giant more than two hundred meters tall strode, step by step, into the center of the various races' camps!
Thunder capable of destroying heaven and earth swirled around him. He had fashioned an enormous dragon's head into a helmet and wore it on his head.
The scent of dragon blood still lingered on it.
Yateli stood tall and straight, as though he stood among the clouds!
He lowered his gaze to the densely packed, antlike sapient creatures at his feet, a trace of indifference and boredom showing in his eyes.
If the Titan King had not told them that these antlike sapient beings held the secret to godhood, he would never have cared whether these ants lived or died.
He spoke in a booming voice.
"My servants, cheer for your master!"
"The great Titans shall rule all of Ferland!"
Thunder that seemed to shatter heaven and earth exploded across the world, and boundless majesty swept through the entire Vast Sea Forest!
Beneath that overwhelming pressure, every living being's mind trembled and their body buckled!
Such was the might of a Titan Giant!
Every Titan Giant began at the legendary tier!
And mighty Titans like Yateli had long since reached the demigod tier!
Unable to withstand that majesty, Jiang You sank to one knee.
But having absorbed the blood of a Titan and a dragon, he recovered his senses in an instant. He raised his eyes to the Titan Giant, who seemed to sit among the clouds, towering between heaven and earth like the king of the world. Defiance and burning ambition rose in his heart!
"I could take his place!"
