Chapter 125: The immigrants

Who is this Lilly?" Ken asked in confusion.

It was only him and Caden that had no idea of who he was but the rest, they could only but their lips to keep it in.

Huh? Ken wasn’t satisfied. It’s a female’s name.. Did you see her?" He asked the beaten male.

At that time, there was only a small girl. I remember because I saw her unexpectedly." He answered truthfully.

You can stop this here." Titan said and looked at the male. It wasn’t you. You can leave!" He said and turned to go away but a few steps, he halted.

You are not a beast from our city...how are you in the inner areas that have been sealed off." Titan asked with a glare.

That..I...I was looking for the city lord! The warriors at the walls permitted me in." The male stammered.

Looking for me? Why?" Ash stepped forward hearing the male was looking for him.

My clan was the first to get news about the migration from the mountain. My name is Herod and I’m a witch master." He introduced himself.

Herod..since you have news follow me." Ash said and the others naturally went after him. Finding an isolated place, all eyes were locked on him urging him to say what he had to say.

First and foremost, I have to say that we won’t have to worry about that migrating group coming to find us anytime soon." Herod said and everyone of them looked at him.

There’s a valley stretch that surrounds the whole of the mountain range and that side is covered in poisonous fogs. The sky beastmen will naturally have no issues but those land beastmen will not be able to corss without dire consequences."

Oh..this is my first time learning about this." Ash said with interest. He feared that the group would be able to cross over in a few weeks but now that there was such a thing, his heart calmed down by alot.

So...I ...I have told you about it. Will you let my clansmen into the city?" He asked while trembling. He had discussed this with his clansmen and they had thought this was a form of bargaining chip.

So that was your reason for coming this far. But that aside this matter hasn’t been confirmed yet." Titan said.

You are a snake lord...confirming something like this will definitely be a piece of cake for you. Please...our clan is really small. It won’t take much space...I just done want them to be locked outside the city when the disaster falls. Aside from that we have a few expecting females in our clan. They are with female babies. As we have been in the road for long, their circumstances are not good and need to be settled in. Please...I this information is confirmed, can my clansmen move in and settle?" Far from his earlier dazed self, he was anxious and one could see that he really cared for his clansmen.

Alot of things still need to be set up and we can’t just allow others to move in. I’ll send word to the warriors at the gate to allow your clansmen to move closer and in a week’s time, you’ll finally be moved in." Ash said and turned to leave.

Thank you so much city lord. My clans will always be grateful to you!" The male almost cried out! His eyes were coated with tears besides the fatigue from the journey.

Sydney’s episode lasted a while, she fell asleep from crying and didn’t wake up, if not for Scot confirming that she was alright, they would have thought something terrible had happened.

It was that she had fallen into shock but was stable at the moment, she’d wake up anytime soon.

Because of this matter, her birthday came to be and passed just like that. Titan who was the most interested in this important day was the moodiest as they got busier day after day.

The numbers of beasts surrounding the city walls grew each passing day at an alarming rate.

In the mountain ranges.

The group of beastmen under dire and uncomfortable circumstances managed to cross over from the other side to this side of the mountain.

A few birds that were scouting in the skies looked down to a dense fog filling the area. They rounded the base of the mountain before going over to inspect.

Be careful don’t get to close!" An elder bird warmed the younger ones. This place doesn’t seem right..the fog is dense and I can’t see the ground." He cautioned.

The little ones nodded and stayed away while he dived down to see what was going on. As he neared the fog, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him that he almost lost balance. He struggled and shot back up into the skies escaping the fogs.

Once his clansmen saw his state, they flew over to his side.

He had used alot of energy and despite the small amounts of the fog he had inhaled, he couldn’t maintain his beastform and turned into his human form against his will.

If not for his clansmen timely arrival, he would have fallen back into the foggy abyss. The group hurried flew back to join the others and warm them too.

What happened to father?" A female came running seeing that her father was in the arms of the warriors.

There’s a valley up ahead but the fog in the valley is dangerous. It made clan elder turn this way!" The youn warrior explained to his Princess.

Let me check!" She said and rushed to her father’s side. She checked his eyes and felt his heart rate before she sighed in relief! He isn’t badly injured.

It’s because elder hurried to evade the fogs and he had told us not to go down there!" The younger warrior cried out. Their elder really thought of them!

Someone tell me about the situation up ahead. We are able to come this far because we moved earlier than the others. If we wlt them catch up with us..I can’t guarantee what will happen!" She said worriedly. Tell me about it. We will wait for father to wake up and see how we proceed from here on." The princess said and the head warrior informed her of their findings.

The shortest shortcut to the other side was through the valley but there was a dense poisonous fog that they didn’t know about which could also possibly kill. That past was deadly and obviously couldn’t be crossed. The other sides of the mountains also had the natural barrier of the valley but didn’t have any fog to it. The weather on that side was colder and one couldn’t make it through that place.

We have lost a great deal of warriors already! We also don’t know what’s on the other side of the mountain, whether those clans will welcome us..we can’t risk losing another life. Many are sick and weak..." The princess pointed out all their weak points and with each point, the warriors felt crestfallen. Crossing tot the other side of the mountain could take around a week. If they had to fly each and everyone in their clans over, sigh. The number of beastmen they had was only two hundred, one hundred and twenty of whom were injured. The females totaled up to thirty. The juveniles they had couldn’t fly for that long across this mountain, many would not make it past. If they were to distribute on how to cross and leave the others to guard..it’d take alot.

Ash who was dealing with some matter was rushed out of the city hall.

What happened?" He asked.

My lord! A group of strays sneak attacked a group of herbivore beastmen from the horse clan and killed all the males and kidnapped all the females. The few survivers rushed to seek help!" The gaird informed.

The other kings had also come and upon hearing this, they fumed.

Those beasts have gotten really brazen!" The leopard king had his fur ruffled. He hated unnecessary killings the most.

The beast clans out side the city have started getting agitated. They...they threaten to break in." The warrior whispered the last part.

Huh! Those beasts! We are here wrecking our brains to provide a solution for them and they dare threaten us? How bold!" The fox king couldn’t help himself.

Anyone who dares to create a ruckus outside the city walls will be dealt with accordingly. This is our territory and so they must abide by our rules. Inform those clans that it’s their responsibility to protect their own kin. If they can’t hold on till we have settle matters in here, then they are free to leave. Also, anyone who makes trouble will have his clansmen denied the opportunity to reside in the city." Ash passed on his word and went back to do what was most important.

When his words were spread to the refugee clans, everyone stopped creating trouble and silently waited for the city lord to do something.

How’s the construction going?" Scott asked Titan.

It should be done in a few days. Just like you instructed. Three thousand single roomed shelters inside the city and three thousand more in the forest area." Titan reported.

Good! How about the matter concerning the prey?" Scott asked and the leopard king stood up to give his report. We managed to direct them to the eastern part of the city. A few hundred more preys have been moved into the forests."

"Mm..control them well, we don’t want them rushing into the city vicinity." Scott was pleased.
