Chapter 303 Plunder and Seizure: It's Human Nature

Wu suddenly pulled Fuying into his arms, his whole body tense like a sharp blade, his golden-red beast eyes gleaming with ferocity.

"I'll go take a look," he said softly, lifting Fuying out of the bathtub and gently placing her on the bed before turning and walking towards the door. Outside, flames raged and the sounds of armor and metal clashing filled the air.

As soon as he opened the door, Teng rushed towards him.

"Where's Aying?" Teng's dark green vertical pupils were full of cold light as he pushed Wu aside and entered the room.

Fuying was already dressed, her slightly damp long hair loose, sitting on the bed, looking relaxed.

Teng stepped forward, half-squatted down, and whispered, "Aying, we need to leave the Sea Otter City-State. A large city-state is attacking us."

They were not originally from the Sea Otter City-State. Their leader, Otter Flame, must have had his own ulterior motives for keeping them here. Moreover, he had no idea where the Grumgar City-State was, so there was no need for them to stay.

Fu Ying raised her eyes, her eyebrows slightly arched: "A large city-state? How big?"

Teng paused slightly, unaware that Luo Heng had found out about this news.

As they spoke, several males, including Mo Yan, came over carrying their cubs, and all of them had solemn expressions.

Teng turned to look at Luo Heng and said in a deep voice, "Aying asked, what is the strength of the city-states that have been attacked?"

Luo Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Their numbers are considerable, far stronger than the Sea Otter City-State. They won't be able to resist for long. Once the Sea Otter City-State falls, this territory will belong to the city-state that defeated them. This seems to be the judgment of the sharp teeth."

Fuying got up and went to the window. The warriors in the fortress had already assembled and were preparing for war.

Holding the two drowsy little ones, Dan Yue whispered, "Aying, are we not leaving?"

Fu Ying chuckled softly, but her narrow eyes were filled with indifference, devoid of any smile: "I suddenly feel that the Sea Otter City-State is a good place. Perhaps, we can start from here and expand our territory?"

The males were stunned. Expanding territory?

Mo Yan's crimson eyes suddenly lit up as he stared intently at Fu Ying's back: "You mean, we can take advantage of the Sea Otter City-State facing the Sharp Teeth Judgment, occupy this place, and use it as a center to expand into the Orc City-State?"

This idea is quite bold, after all, expanding from the periphery is not an easy thing.

If we are not careful, we could be attacked from both sides by a coalition of several surrounding city-states.

However, Fu Ying is not one to speak without reason. Since she said so, she must be absolutely certain!

“Aying, this is dangerous.” Wu Jinhong’s eyes flashed slightly, his expression sharp.

The Marquis of Nevernight scoffed, his slender fingers gently brushing against Changsheng's eyelashes: "What danger? I've long disliked that so-called commander, who belittles the Northern Mountain Beastmen at every turn. Ha, we should just snatch the territory from him!"

Orcs themselves have little sense of morality. Resources on the orc continent are limited, so plundering and seizing are in their nature.

Teng glanced at Bu Ye Hou, who had surprisingly uttered a sensible remark.

Dan Yue lowered her eyes to look at the cub and said softly, "A Ying can put the cub in a safe place first."

He knew that Fuying had a magical realm where the cubs could stay, which would be safer.

"What safe place?" Marquis Nevernight asked curiously.

Fuying turned to look at the sleeping cubs, who were not sleeping soundly because of the sounds of battle outside.

She took Changsheng from the Marquis of Nightless City's hands, gently touched his forehead, and the little guy's lips curled into a sweet smile as he slept soundly. Only then did she wave her hand, sending Changsheng into her spatial dimension. This scene caused the Marquis of Nightless City's pupils to widen slightly: "You can do that? Will Changsheng be alright?"

Such an ability was truly unheard of. He had heard of some witches possessing illusionary realms that could store food, but he had never heard of anything that could survive in them. If the cubs could be kept safe in an illusionary realm, then that would truly solve their problem.

Fu Ying raised one eyebrow: "I am their own mother, what could possibly happen to me?"

The Undying Marquis blinked, his seven-colored eyes gleaming, and stepped forward to put his arm around Fuying's waist: "Of course I believe you, I'm just curious, what is your illusionary world like? Does it have mountains, rivers, and dwellings? Can I go in too?"

Teng rolled her eyes and sneered, "You're going in? Sending the cubs in is to prevent the war from hurting them. If you're scared, just say so. Aying is very good to her beastmen and will definitely not let you face any danger, right, Aying?"

The Undying Marquis half-closed his eyes, his long, dark hair gleaming like silk.

He curled his red lips into a venomous smile: "Afraid? Then let's have a contest and see who kills more city-state orcs?"

Teng was not to be outdone and confronted him head-on, her dark green eyes filled with ferocity: "Let's compete!"

Dan Yue watched as Fu Ying sent the cub into the space, then turned to the two of them, frowning as she said, "Behave yourself and listen to A Ying."

In war, the most worrying thing is these unruly guys; there are two of them here.

"Hmph." Teng snorted lightly. Seeing that the cubs were all safe, he looked at Fuying, rubbing his hands together eagerly, and said, "Aying, you don't need to do anything. Just leave it to us! Tell me, what do we do now?"

Looking at the deepening night outside the window, Fu Ying said softly, "Wait."

"Waiting for what?" Teng frowned and looked in the direction of her gaze, but there was nothing there.

Mo Yan glanced at him, then looked away and said in a low voice, "They should be alright, right?"

Hearing his words, Fu Ying turned to look at him and chuckled, "What could possibly happen? What a perfect bait. Don't worry, they'll be safe and sound in order to get you to take action. However, you might have to go and rescue them later."

Mo Yan pursed his lips slightly, a wicked smile appearing on his face: "As long as you're willing to believe me."

After the two exchanged cryptic remarks, Teng half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You mean, that Ta Yan will use the Cangshan tribe and Benlang to coerce us into helping him? Does he dare to do that?"

The Lord of Nightless City shrugged: "Don't forget, in his eyes we are just lowly barbaric orcs. The only one he can look up to is Aying, the druid. Of course, he only looks up to her. As for how much he values ​​her, well, not really. After all, females have no status in orc city-states."

Dan Yue remained silent, which was for the best.

The Otter City-State attacked them first, so they didn't have as many reservations when they retaliated.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance.

Luo Heng looked up, her purple eyes flashing slightly, a subtle fragrance wafting around her: "No wonder A Ying changed her mind."

She had already anticipated this: under the cruel laws of the Sharp Teeth Judgment, the Otter City-State had no ability to save itself and would need allies. However, the proud nobles of the city-state would not trust these barbaric beastmen, so she thought of coercion.

The tribes outside the fortress were the most convenient hostages to exploit.

Otter Flame, still carrying the lingering stench of blood, strode over.

As soon as he approached, he threw a blood-stained animal hide coat on the ground, his voice cold and hard as iron, and said bluntly: "Listen, your people are in my hands. Now, immediately wipe out the foreign enemies for the Sea Otter City-State. As long as you can successfully repel the enemy and win the Trial of the Teeth, I can make you citizens of the Sea Otter City-State and give you noble treatment!"
