Chapter 57: The Great Hustle of the Thirteen Clans (1)

The territory of the Adriha Clan lies in a flat woodland near the Shane Greenwoods. Their residences are made of stones with simple architectural designs. It is like a simple village that houses almost seven thousand strong moon elves. This number is enough to consider them as a large clan.

Hence, they are given a vast territory.

However, this land is not enough as of this moment because something unthinkable happened and now the lands around them are occupied.

Thousands of makeshift tent is present in the forests that is in the opposite direction of Shane Greenwoods. This is where the 13 clans are temporarily staying.

Hill, an elder from the Horio Clan, is reunited with his old friend, Kier, an elder from Kiga Clan. They are walking towards an open field where they will finally see the moon elf lord.

"Old Kier! We met because of the moon elf lord, once again!" he enthusiastically greeted the elderly fire power warrior. Their clans held a joint banquet during the birth of the moon elf lord.

"Yes, and this time we are here to extend our help to the moon elf lord," Kier answered back. "You didn’t join your clan’s patriarch meeting the moon elf lord?"

Earlier this morning, each clan present received a summon from the moon elf lord. They are asked to send selected representatives to attend an audience with the moon elf lord.

"No way. My old bones cannot handle it if I face the moon elf lord’s majesty personally," Old Hill joked. Old Kier didn’t respond because he knows what he is talking about and just like Hill, he is exhausted from the travel.

They are both living far from the Adriha Clan and if it wasn’t for the contracted beast of one of their young warrior, Kier would have no choice but to stay and miss the chance to meet the moon elf lord.

"Well, the time is slowly weathering us." Old Kier just answered after a while.

They continued their short walk. The venue is not that far from the allotted accommodation that the temple and the Adriha Clan provided to them.

It didn’t take long before they reach the specified place. Just like the other clans. They all reservedly lined up until they are ushered by the priests to the venue.

It was a newly cleared open field that has a high stone platform that serves as the stage facing north.

"Are we this many?!" a young moon elf cannot stop himself from blurting out upon seeing the massive number of moon elves present. The expansive field currently has almost 50,000 standing moon elves. All of them are waiting for the momentous moment for the moon elf lord to appear.

"You consider this many? This much is considered too few, boy." A middle-aged bearer answered the ignorant question of the young moon elf. If it weren’t for the dawdling birth of the moon elves, then this number must be at least tripled.

"All of the clans are currently gathered here. The numbers are not something that we should worry about, but instead, we should be worried that a fight might break out. Especially those who have existing friction." Old Kier voiced his concern after seeing two clans in front of them who were leaking with obvious hostility to each other.

"Ah, the Heran Clan and the Gilin Clan from the northwest Amber Forest. That is expected since their territorial fight is still ongoing." Old Hill added. Due to his experience with other clans as a warrior, he more or less knows the state of all clans in the Amber Forest.

Conflicts between clans are common issues for those small clans who have little resources in their hands. And those two clans are the perfect example for that.

"Let’s just hope that none of them will cause a commotion in the face of the moon elf lord." Old Kier said as his eyes scanned the crowd. Trying to look for some acquaintances.

"Who are those people?" he exclaimed after seeing an unfamiliar group of youngsters standing near the platform. Aside from moon elves they also include individuals who obviously don’t belong to their race! Especially the children!

"This, what are they doing here?" he asked confusedly. It was addressed to no one but an elder who is standing next to Kier’s clan answered him.

"They are said to be the moon elf lord’s new subordinates. Originally a rogue group." an elderly bearer answered.

"Rogues!" the others who were listening to the conversation exclaimed.

How can they be allowed to be here?! Most of the rogues that they knew are individuals who did something vile against their clans. These moon elves are pests who will steal and loot their resources in their given territory. Small clans know the pain since they are the most victimized by these villains.

Rogues are their race’s untouchables.

"The moon elf lord initially planned to visit all the clans in the Amber Forest. However, something happened that led the lord to meet this group. Now, they are all sworn subordinates by the moon elf lord." The old bearer explained.

"Unbelievable! These rogues swear their loyalty to the lord before us?!" A fire power warrior exclaimed, and a tiny fire came out of his mouth.

"Not really, us, the Hyon Clan was visited first by the moon elf lord. Our lord even blessed the herbs that we planted as appreciation for our efforts. Now, they are brimming with nature’s energy." The old bearer said he popped up his bony chest.

The moon elves who heard it turned green. They also want to meet the moon elf lord.

This statement sparked a discussion among the waiting moon elves. They are eyeing the moon elves from the Hyon Clan and the new and peculiar group with undisguised envy.

Especially the former rogues. What does the moon elf lord have seen in them to make the moon elf lord prioritize them?

Their lack of information of what happened gave birth to countless assumptions among the thirteen clans.

All moon elves from different clans have a complex feelings towards these youngsters. Envy and curiosity are loosely intertwined that they are clueless about the fact that they are no longer belittling these fresh faces.

This is what Nicol thought when the moon elf lord decided to focus on finding this group of wanderers. The first ripple that is caused by the moon elf lord stone is seen at this moment.

Of course, Ilian and his group can feel the stares. They are a bit bothered by it but they tried their best to ignore it.

"Where is Brother Xagrien, elder brother?" Nine asked Sibal.

"He’s with the moon elf lord."

The little orc nodded then he saw an elderly male looking at their direction.

Hill was curiously watching these youngsters when suddenly a middle-aged wind power warrior from Isan Clan approached the group and he suddenly manhandled a young chubby moon elf.

"What crazy stunt that warrior is pulling now?!" Hill almost had a heart attack seeing that a violent situation unfolds before the moon elf lord appears.

The entire field is instantly embroiled in tension.

"You dared to show your face to us, Ilian!" The male roared as he threw a punch at the poor young moon elf. He then threw Ilian hard to the stone platform; the strength was magnified because the warrior deliberately used strong wind pressure.

Ilian, who was attacked by the man, was helpless as he was not strong enough to defend himself.

The middle-aged warrior’s eyes are full of killing intent. Looking as though he is ready to commit murder right under the moon elf lord’s nose.

Sibal and the others are taken aback by the sudden assault. "Ilian!" They yelled in surprise.

But they didn’t waste any time and they all moved to save their friend. However, a group of powerful moon elves intercepted them.

"It is better if you stay away from our clan’s business," says a three-star warrior.

’What speed!’ Manulus was surprised by how they came towards them. He didn’t feel their presence until he saw them with his two eyes.

’It’s as if they are riding with the wind. Or maybe they became one with the wind.’

"Get your hands off of our friend," Kalux said, full of venom. His face doesn’t show any fluctuation but his eyes are cutting like daggers.

The sentinels who are overseeing the venue also made a move to stop the commotion. They stood on guard around the Isan Clansmen.

"Don’t disturb the order of this place, Isan Clan. The moon elf lord is wrapping up the meeting with the clan patriarchs and it won’t be long until he comes here." Denzel said to the attackers.

"This is the jurisdiction of our clan. It is agreed by the clans and the temple that you will not meddle with our internal affairs. I know you know that." The warrior who attacked Ilian said. "I am here to pass the judgement that has long been overdue."

"Stand down, Yulls. That is the final warning. You wouldn’t want to anger the moon elf lord if he sees what is happening now." This time Denzel’s eyes shone as he threateningly activated his earth power.

Ilian, who was bleeding due to the collision with the platform, sat up with great difficulty. He just received a direct hit from a three-star warrior so even if he controlled the wind around him to serve as a cushion for the impact, he must have sustained some internal wounds.

"Uncle Yulls, I am no longer part of your rotten clan. I-" Ilian coughed up a mouthful of blood. His litany of expletives is abruptly stopped due to a coughing fit.

Manulus, Sibal and the others are alarmed seeing this but there are three-star warriors beside them who are deterring them from moving forward.

"Oh, you broom star managed to keep your life? You damned one-star trash should have died from that." Yulls snickered, completely dismissing Denzel’s threats.

"You!" Denzel yelled angrily at such disrespect. He knows that they are both three-star warriors and their strength is about to be on the same level.

"I don’t have anything against you. Just let me settle my business quickly and we will go back to our original position." Yulls then mobilized his wind power. A pair of wings that are made up of strong winds sprouted on his ankles.

’Air Flashing Technique!’ Denzel exclaimed after seeing it. The Isan Clan was known for this technique that enhances their mobility to unbelievable speeds. It will make the user as if they are integrated with the wind. It makes one’s movements fast and untraceable.

This technique is hailed as the best movement skill in the entire moon elf race. It was an uncontested top-tier movement technique and if it was used to kill or hunt, Yulls would be unstoppable!

Denzel knows that if he fails to stop Yulls then it will be the end of the poor moon elf. And they will most likely gain the moon elf lord’s wrath once that happens!

He reached out to pin down Yulls, however, it was way too late. The air around moved and Yulls disappeared with the breeze. The wind power warrior already approached Ilian with an iron dagger in his hands. Ready to end his nephew’s life.

"This is for killing my brother with your weakness, Ilian. Do not blame me for this." Yulls declared with a wry smile on his lips.

However, before his dagger stabbed the flesh of Ilian, it was intercepted by a short wooden dagger. It was accompanied by lines of purple flashing light.

"Hey, I don’t know your relationship and history with Ilian. The only thing that I know is that no one is allowed to lay a finger on my friends." A deep voice greeted him. "Besides, nobody can shut Ilian’s mouth, not even death."

Xagrien’s eyes flashed with hostility.
