Chapter 14: The Way of the Kingdom(1)
"Your logic in times of conflict is impressive Yuan. You are closer to proving to me why I should consider you worthy of greater responsibilities." spoke the translator in an oddly satisfying voice.
"In fact, you were doing us a favor. The thing you just killed is part of a race known as Pantheralepidotrae. They typically grow to lengths up to forty kilometers long with the alpha of this specific clan being a mile long. This one was a middle aged criminal. Our amulet guards have sensed that he has long been causing disruption in our kingdom and recently he stole an important document from our cave delving crews who were sent to inform another race of an outside tragedy. I sensed he was heading down the near-surface level corridors and the timing was right. It was a well-fit aptitude test, too and I'm sure the Crime Brigade needs a break." The Wasp turned its head knowingly to Snake.
"Yes Commander, my men are still recovering from that last attack." Snake replied.
Tiger helped Yuan steady himself, who had begun shaking due to the rush of adrenaline that had entered his system.
Shui Ren couldn't help himself from chuckling a bit too.
"I guess now he knows some of the ropes around here, Commander".
That was a bit of an understatement.
Everybody knew it.
