Chapter 364: 346. The Youngest Sacred Order Beastman

On the tenth day of Charles’s occupation of Dubrovnik, a proper Beastman army appeared outside the city.

The army was led by an Elephant Man who was extremely irritable, growling lowly. His troops were mostly Elephant People, with some other Beastmen. Oddly, these were not aggressive Beastmen; they looked timid and were dressed in tattered clothes.

The Elephant Man stood below the city walls, bellowing loudly, “I am Argon! The sovereign of the Elephant People. Give us food, we want to return to the Southern Continent.”

Charles glanced at the Beastmen and feeling puzzled, shouted loudly, “Are you not cannibals?”

Argon roared, shouting, “I am not a cannibal; I am tired of war. I want to return to the Southern Continent.”

Charles waved his hand and shouted, “Enter the city!”

The Elephant Man Argon led his people into the city. His Beastman army had as many as six or seven thousand. Once everyone had entered, Charles gave an order, and two members of the Sacred Order slowly levitated, while twenty thousand Labyrinth Guardians and five thousand Westwind Knights took advantageous positions. They raised their rifles, the black muzzles pointing at the Beastmen.

Already irritable, Argon now grew even angrier and yelled loudly, “Vile! Are you from Amesfida, Black Dragon, or Qiudelo’s people?”

Charles said, “We are humans and Beastmen who believe in not eating humans!”

Argon suppressed his anger and shouted, “We are also non-cannibals. Let us leave, give us food; we do not want to fight.”

Charles shook his head and said, “Non-cannibals must unite. You either fight, die to the last man, or join us and build the best life together.”

Anger flared on Argon’s face, and he yelled, “Nonsense, you are just an ambitious man!”

Charles firmly replied, “Yes, I am ambitious!”

“I have a dream that Beastmen are no different from humans, can live under the sun, can survive through farming, breeding, fishing, trading, through all normal means, not needing to slaughter each other, not needing to pick up weapons for survival, not needing to worry about tomorrow…”

Although Argon was initially furious, he soon started listening and couldn’t help but say, “But humans will not accept Beastmen; all you are saying is useless.”

Charles pointed and said, “I have already obtained a large piece of land on Song Spirit Island, and I have the support of a group of humans and Beastmen who have embraced the philosophy of non-cannibals. I need more people, join us!”

Elephant Man Argon was silent for a long time, then said, “I agree with your views, but I will not join. I want to take them back to the Southern Continent.”

Charles pointed to the sky and said, “Join or die!”

Elephant Man Argon looked at the sky and said, “If I can defeat them! Can I then leave?”

Surprised, Charles glanced at Golden Ram Herolf and Old Leopard Man Tumishen, thinking, “Defeat them? Is this Elephant Man joking in an Inglima way?”

Then Charles saw something that almost made his eyes pop out.

The Elephant Man Argon slowly ascended, growling lowly, “I don’t want to fight, nor do I want to join you! Do not involve the innocent, let’s determine the outcome through combat, and decide whether to stay or leave!”

Tumishen whispered harshly, “Charles, Argon is the first genius of the Beastmen! He is also the youngest of our Beastman Sacred Order!”

“By myself, I am no match for him.”

Only then did Charles understand why the Elephant Man Argon wanted to challenge both the Old Goat and Tumishen. It turned out this guy truly had confidence, and was not being arrogant.

He couldn’t help saying, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Tumishen wore a face of helplessness as he said, “I also didn’t expect it to come to this, that you’d refuse to give up until death!”

Charles thought to himself, “Isn’t this because I want to swallow this group of Beastmen?”

Among over ten thousand Beastmen who came from the Southern Continent, only about five hundred who did not eat humans could be selected. Those who had been on the Northern Continent for a long time probably wouldn’t even have five non-human eaters among them.

Therefore, when Charles heard Elephant Man Argon say he was a non-human eater, he wanted to subdue this batch of Beastmen. He felt that using a more forceful approach could solve the problem quickly, but he didn’t expect to encounter a first-rate talent among Beastmen like Elephant Man Argon.

Charles took a deep breath and called out, “Argon! If you lose, stay and help me.”

Elephant Man Argon shook his huge head and said, “No, I won’t lose, and even if I did, I could still escape!”

“I won’t stay, I must return to the Southern Continent.”

Charles had to admit, if Argon truly insisted on leaving, neither Golden Ram Herolf nor Old Leopard Man could likely keep him. Elephant People were the toughest and thickest-skinned among the Beastmen. Old Goat was now weaponless, having given his whale-slayer to Anne, and he really might not be able to break through this guy’s defense.

Not to mention Old Leopard Man, with his strength and speed…

Charles pondered for a moment and then called out, “Let you go, but leave these Beastmen behind.”

Argon roared lowly, shouting, “I must take them back to the Southern Continent!”

Charles, furious, said, “Tumishen, give your sword to Old Goat!”

Tumishen, clearly reluctant, drew Dao Hai and handed it to Golden Ram Herolf. He then retreated from the battlefield, landing next to Charles, and whispered, “Not only is Argon a genius among Beastmen, but he also possesses one of the top ten divine weapons of the Beastmen: the Dragon Hammer!”

“Golden Ram Herolf may be a seasoned knight of the Sacred Order, but he really might not be a match for Argon.”

Unable to help himself, Charles asked, “Why does this guy insist on going back to the Southern Continent?”

Tumishen whispered, “Elephant People place great importance on their ancestral lands!”

Charles slightly nodded and said, “Elephant People’s ancestral lands are in the Southern Continent?”

Tumishen answered, “The earliest ancestral land is in Machu Picchu!”

Charles’s eyes immediately lit up, thinking, “Machu Picchu, that’s my territory!?”

He did not listen carefully to what Tumishen said afterward. His gaze turned to the sky, where Argon and Golden Ram Herolf had already begun clashing.

Both were of the Peak Holy Order, and as soon as they moved, the scene changed dramatically, with the clouds in the sky being shredded by their Fighting Spirit, turning into strands of cloud threads!

With Dao Hai in hand, Old Goat’s confidence surged. Each sword strike was powered by the force of Immeasurable Sea Water, each wielding the tremendous force of landslides and tsunamis.

Elephant Man Argon did not use any weapon, just delivering average punches, but each strike was on par with those of Old Goat using Dao Hai. The strength of the Elephant People ranked in the top three among all Beastmen, and if limited to land-based Beastman, he was undoubtedly first.

This was the first time Charles had witnessed such a purely strength-based battle of the Sacred Order.

He took a deep breath and thought to himself, “Old Goat really isn’t up to it!”
