The Old Gives Way to the New

Kaostin led the remnants of his army out of the Elven encirclement, but the elite forces of the three major clans had also suffered severe losses.

Ennoka and Zakas, along with the Warrior they brought, have died at the hands of the elves.

Kaostin is leading the remnants of his army toward the settlement of the Amani Clan.

When Dath'Remar killed Ennoka, the war initiated by the Forest Troll came to an end.

Each clan of the Forest Troll suffered varying degrees of devastation.

Currently, every clan of Forest Troll is weak, and some smaller clans are even on the verge of destruction.

Of course, besides the Amani Clan, Shadra left behind a contingency plan; the Amani Clan's power was still incredibly strong.

It used to be a case of one superpower and many, but now it's down to just one.

Having lost their elite forces, the other Forest Troll clans were now easy prey for the Amani Clan.

With the emergence of a powerful enemy, the unification of the Forest Troll became inevitable.

When the last Forest Troll fell, all the Highborne cheered.

They suffered heavy losses among their tribesmen but won the battle at noon.

Dath'Remar used his Flamestrike to support himself as he struggled to stand.

Having lost an arm, he was clearly still adjusting, and having just escaped the control of the dark energy, he was in a weakened state.

Otherwise, it would be more than enough to defeat Ennoka.

Just then, Snyder arrived with reinforcements from the vanguard.

"It seems the war here is over," Snyder said, looking at the Highborne who were cleaning up the battlefield.

"Looks like you've recovered," Snyder said as he walked over.

"Although it hurts a bit, thank you for your help."

"I made many wrong decisions while I was under control, and those decisions caused me to lose many of my people," Dath'Remar said slowly.

"But you recovered in the end, didn't you?"

"Once you and your people have established a new home, you'll definitely have a good life," Snyder said.

"Hmm, I wonder how Daren Theron is doing," Dath'Remar said.

"I've sent a force to reinforce them. If the Forest Troll are still attacking them, they'll surely send us a message," Snyder said.

They had barely finished speaking when Daren Theron arrived with the remnants of his rear guard.

Upon seeing Daren Theron appear, Dath'Remar and Snyder quickly went over to him.

"How's the situation there?" Dath'Remar asked.

Although he was still very weak, he pretended to be fine and said...

"My Forest Troll have retreated too. They could have broken through our lines with just one more attack," Daren Theron said.

Clearly, the retreat of the Forest Troll still puzzled him.

"How many people do you have left?" Dath'Remar asked.

"There aren't many people left," Daren Theron said.

"But I discovered some excellent fighters during this war."

"I was able to hold the line with their help," Daren Theron said.

"Many brave warriors emerged during this war, and I will personally award them medals for the establishment of our new homeland," Dath'Remar said.

The arrival of the new warriors will safeguard the nation he is about to establish.

"So what do you plan to do next?" Snyder asked.

"My army has suffered different kinds of wounds."

"The masses also need better protection, so I plan to assemble all the troops into one unit to carry out this operation," Dath'Remar said.

"There's not much distance left to travel, and I want to make the most of it and get there in one go."

"Because we don't know if the Forest Troll will launch another attack," Dath'Remar said.

Upon hearing Dath'Remar's words, Snyder and Daren Theron both agreed.

Dath'Remar then sent soldiers to inform the vanguard that the rear guard had been brought over by Daren Theron.

The common people of the Highborne were also delighted, as Dath'Remar informed them that the Forest Troll had retreated and were about to reach their destination.

Everyone was happy, which made them temporarily forget the harm the Forest Troll had caused them.

A new team was quickly assembled by Dath'Remar and set off towards their destination.

Meanwhile, in the Amani Clan's settlement, Kaostin and Bandersson had returned with the remnants of the Forest Troll army.

They were as radiant as they were when they left, and now they are just as disheveled.

In the camp of the Amani Clan, the next chief chosen by Shadra is undergoing training.

He was engaged in close combat with a wild beast, which posed no problem for him; on the contrary, he had the beast running around in circles.

"Jeffrey, you're fighting her! Not toying with her! Find her weakness and kill her with one blow!" Kaostin's voice rang out from the edge of the training field.

Jeffrey was about to greet Kaostin when he heard his words, but the beast on the field didn't give him a chance to reminisce.

It pounced, its claws aimed directly at Jeffrey's throat.

Jeffrey was also startled by the beast's behavior, but his long-term training had given his body muscle memory.

He leaned slightly to dodge the fatal blow, then punched the beast's soft belly.

The beast, in pain, had its previously stable body twisted by the immense force, and Jeffrey seized the opportunity to rush forward and subdue it.

"Jeffrey, you need to be prepared to become chief," Kaostin said.

"Chief? Where is Chief Shadra?" Jeffrey asked, puzzled.

"Shadra has died in battle against the elves; you will become the new chieftain."

"Bandersson and I will help you ascend to the throne and secure your position as Chief of Amani," Kaostin said slowly.

"This..." Kaostin's words made Jeffrey fall into deep thought.

"I understand, what do I need to do?" Jeffrey quickly accepted everything.

"Now you can go and prepare for your inauguration ceremony."

"Bandersson and I will clear everything away for you." With that, Kaostin walked out to find Bandersson.

Clearly, when he said those words, it meant that some people were about to fall asleep forever.

"You look a little confused?" said the attendant standing to the side.

"I knew this day would come soon, but I didn't expect it to come so soon," Jeffrey said.

"But I think you are ready," the attendant said.

"I was ready from the day Lord Shadra chose me," Jeffrey said.

"Come, let's go prepare for my inauguration ceremony." Jeffrey gestured for his entourage to follow him.

"Your will".
