If the Human Clan becomes this powerful, even if the Orc Clan return to the continent, they probably won't even be qualified to be a vassal race.

For a moment, the orc warriors all lowered their heads, unsure of what to feel. It was as if a spice shop had been smashed, a thousand emotions surging into their hearts. Their fervent pride and sense of racial arrogance began to wither away like rain and wind.

"Distinguished guests, please." Sun Fei observed this scene and felt smug.

His King had achieved his goal, and like a thief who had successfully stolen a fish, he smiled and invited the Orc Clan warriors to board the Black Warship.

Upon seeing Sun Fei and his group appear, drums thundered atop the Black Warship, banners fluttered, people cheered, horses neighed, and countless beasts roared in unison, creating a truly magnificent scene.

It was all Brook's arrangement.

Upon receiving Sun Fei's message, Brook was shocked and stunned, but naturally understood the importance of this mission.

In order to intimidate the orcs, Chambord City held the most solemn and highest-level welcoming ceremony to greet these powerful alien beings.

Such a grand occasion made High Priest Nash and others from Fox feel that they were being given sufficient attention, further increasing their goodwill towards Sun Fei.

Boom!

When the two large figures from the Bear Clan and the Bull Minotaur Clan stepped onto the Black Warship, everyone felt as if the ship swayed slightly.

The Chambord warriors were also astonished by the enormous physiques of these mysterious guests who had been personally received by His King.

However, no one made a sound or exclaimed.

All the soldiers stood quietly at their posts, their bodies as sharp as javelins, their breathing steady, their eyes fixed straight ahead, displaying the spirit of iron-willed soldiers to the fullest.

This secretly alarmed Nash, the priest of Fox, who was observing the army of Chambord City.

"These Human Clan warriors, when they see their King, their eyes are filled with fanaticism, worship, and excitement, almost like the Behemoth Beastmen facing their Beast God. They are filled with unwavering loyalty, and without a doubt, no matter what their King asks them to do—even to their deaths—not a single one will hesitate for a moment... What a terrifying army."

Nash had to think more highly of Sun Fei.

This Human Clan King is probably no ordinary person.

Suddenly, Nash noticed something he had been overlooking.

High Priest Fox is definitely not a simple person. Among the orcs, the Fox Clan has always been a symbol of wisdom. Nash is one of the ten high priests of the Beast God Temple, so he must be an outstanding figure among the Fox Clan. However, the orcs have been away from the continent for thousands of years and do not know much about the continent now, which is why they were misled by Sun Fei.

At this moment, Nash suddenly realized that although Chambord City was only a first-class vassal state, its true strength had already surpassed the scope of a vassal state, and that not all of humanity's vassal states were as powerful as Chambord City...

In other words, Chambord City cannot be used as a standard to measure the overall strength of the Human Clan; it is merely an exception.

Having figured this out, Nash's fear of the Human Clan lessened somewhat.

Black Warship traveled south, passing over the Twelve Golden Holy Peaks. Although the [ Sky City ] was invisible due to the Concealment shield, the orc warriors were still awestruck by the magnificent and imposing city below when Black Warship passed over the Chambord Ancient City. Later, as Black Warship crossed the Zuli River and flew low over the new city on its south bank, he saw a bustling scene below, teeming with people. Human Clan wore silk fabrics, steel armor, and wielded perfectly crafted steel tools and weapons...

The Orc Clan warriors were practically going crazy.

In the [ Land of Exile ], strategic resources like steel are so precious that only highly skilled and powerful warriors are qualified to wield steel weapons. These weapons are cherished and meticulously maintained; a single fine steel weapon might accompany a dozen or more high-ranking warriors and possess a unique name...

Now, the sharp-eyed Minotaur Clan -Bull Clan strongman Nowitzki clearly saw that in the market below, a human was using a longsword made of refined steel to chop firewood, and then carelessly throwing it aside afterward... It was simply a crime, a waste of resources!

After traveling for a while, the Black Warship eventually made a large circle, flew over the south bank, returned to the Chambord Ancient City, and landed on the small square in the center of the city.

Two stunningly beautiful princesses appeared here, accompanied by guards in gleaming armor and maids in flowing gowns, to greet their distinguished guests.

His Majesty the King proudly introduced his Queen to the beastmen.

"Oh, Your Highness, your beauty puts even the stars to shame," Fox Priest Fox exclaimed sincerely, using the few pale adjectives available to the Orc Clan to describe Angela and Elena's beauty.

This praise is sincere.

The Beast God Temple has ten pure and beautiful saintesses, but even the Swan Bode Clan Sharapova, Fox Clan Kardashian, and Werewolf Clan Saintess Eva, who are known for their unparalleled beauty, pale in comparison to the two human beauties before them.

Nash greeted them politely, while subtly reminding his companions to be mindful of their words and actions, lest they make a fool of themselves.

Especially the Bear Clan and the Bull Minotaur Clan, who are known for their rudeness and recklessness, High Priest Fox was really afraid that O'Neal and Nowitzki, those two guys whose brains were all muscles, would do or say something that would disgrace the Orc Clan and make them a laughing stock among the Human Clan. So he took the opportunity to tell his companions to shut up and obediently follow behind him.

"Distinguished guests, the kingdom has prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Please welcome us."

As dusk settled and night fell, Sun Fei gestured for them to join in, and he and the two princesses led the way out of the square and soon arrived at the palace where banquets were usually held in the city.

Fortunately, the buildings in Chambord City are extremely tall and ancient, with the main hall reaching over 100 meters in height and having a very spacious interior. This allows strong men like Minotaur the Nowitzki and O'Neal the Werebear to enter safely without worrying about bumping their heads.

After the introductions, the banquet began quickly.

Besides the orcs, the banquet was attended by high-ranking nobles and officials from Chambord City, as well as more than a dozen Gold Saint... The most powerful forces in Chambord City, apart from the deacons of the Black-Robed Holy Temple and the Necromancer, were all present in the hall.

The orcs, already visibly numb from the shock, were no longer surprised by this.

When the exquisite and fragrant food and fine aged wine were served, the poor orcs finally withdrew their gaze from the Chambord warriors' exquisite armor and steel swords. They were completely stunned, like beggars seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and began to wolf down their food with drooling mouths.

Even Nash, the high priest of the Fox Clan, after feigning composure for less than thirty seconds, began to wolf down his food, almost biting off his tongue in the process.

Fortunately, the father-in-law Best, had thought things through and didn't serve delicacies like bear claws, ox tongues, or leopard legs at the banquet. Otherwise, Nowitzki, O'Neal, and the other orcs probably wouldn't have eaten so readily after seeing their fellow Beast Kin on the table.
