Angerwind Town.

Torrential rain continuously washed away the smell of blood in the town, while various races of quasi-martial artists and extreme apprentices, clad in A6-grade battle armor, swiftly repaired the walls and buildings within the town, unperturbed by the rain.

"Stone Axe and Iron Claw have left?" Desolate Wolf asked while wolfing down some monstrous roasted meat and reading the report brought by a subordinate, looking somewhat displeased.

Originally, in order to protect those two, he had to fend off the Gray-clad people.

Now that their side had dealt with the Gray-clad people, the two chose to leave, treating them entirely as mere tools.

"The two captains said they didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Star Tower City and Chasing Light City anymore. As for the bloodrider leader from Star Tower City, the commission has been revoked, so both of them don't plan to stay in Angerwind Town any longer," explained a middle-tier Bone Forging Realm Flame Horn Race youth nervously.

Currently, Deputy Leader Desolate Wolf was in a bad mood, especially after the battle with the Gray-clad people; he had sustained some internal injuries. Moreover, to deal with that particular woman among the Gray-clad people, he had used extraordinary martial techniques, consuming a substantial amount of his Qi and blood, requiring a period of time to fully recover even with Type Three Energy Potion and Healing Potion.

"Those cowards, running off just because of a rumor," Desolate Wolf sneered.

He knew a bit about the intelligence on the Gray-clad people.

Anyone who opposed the Gray-clad people would face endless retaliation, over and over, until they were annihilated.

However, Desolate Wolf considered it all as exaggerated words from cross-domain merchant caravans.

It was merely because those caravans had been repeatedly attacked by Gray-clad people that they were so jittery, mistakingly viewing the sporadic attacks as endless.

He had watched the battle videos of those caravans, and altogether the attacks didn't number more than a hundred people, far from being endless.

"Scared away by a rumor; it seems the mercenaries of the Mercenary Alliance nowadays are truly a shadow of their former selves."

As a deep voice echoed through the hall and everyone present, including Desolate Wolf and the deputy leaders of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, were about to angrily retort, they all fell silent.

A six-meter-tall middle-aged Mountain Race man and a little over two-meter tall Flame Horn Race youth walked in through the main door.

The speaker was none other than Lie Shan, the deputy city lord of Star Tower City, who had just recently advanced to the Blood Coagulation Realm.

As for the Flame Horn Race youth walking alongside, he was none other than Blaze Bone, a legend within the Flame Horn Race and the leader of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, known as Blood and Sky Dominator.

Although Blaze Bone looked quite young, seemingly not yet thirty, his real age was over eighty, even much older than Hu Lei, the city lord of Star Tower City.

"Desolate Wolf, what's really going on?" Blaze Bone couldn't help but ask Desolate Wolf softly.

"Leader, this wasn't our problem; it was about Stone Axe and Iron Claw," Desolate Wolf hurriedly explained the entire sequence of events to Blaze Bone and Lie Shan.

Especially about how Stone Axe and Iron Claw attracted the Gray-clad people, detailing the whole story.

"Didn't expect that in such a short time, there's a new power in Wraith Mountain Range," Blaze Bone remarked, quite surprised.

As mercenary corps, they knew more about the situation in Wraith Mountain Range than the major cities, especially the Smiling Skull, one of the three untouchable entities, whom they had dealt with much more than the major cities.

The fact that these Gray-clad people, as Desolate Wolf mentioned, could establish a presence in Wraith Mountain Range and be named Southern Skull or Northern Gray-clad by traveling merchant caravans, indicated significant strength.

"Southern Skull, Northern Gray-clad, just bandits robbing some caravans," Lie Shan said with disdain. "If those Gray-clad people dare to come again, I'll let them know that Angerwind Town is not Wraith Mountain Range; no matter how many come, they won't be able to shake even a bit of Angerwind Town's foundation!"

Wraith Mountain Range is a monster's nest, marching armies can easily become monster fodder, and the reason Smiling Skull can't deal with the Gray-clad people, just like Domain City can't handle Smiling Skull, is they can't find the Gray-clad people's main base.

In his view, if Smiling Skull and the Gray-clad people fought, the Gray-clad would be annihilated quickly.

And as a key frontline stronghold, Angerwind Town, although its Blood Coagulation Realm experts couldn't move, had numerous deputy city lords and war weapons in place to ensure that even if Smiling Skull came, they'd make Smiling Skull stay.

It's laughable that the leaders of two mercenary corps fled Angerwind Town because of a rumor about the Gray-clad people; if this got out, Angerwind Town would indeed become a joke.

"Retaliation from the Gray-clad people?" Blaze Bone nodded, then said, "For now, stay in Angerwind Town, stabilize the army morale. After clearing those coming to retaliate, we'll head to Fenglin Town."

He too was curious about the Gray-clad people.

What kind of abilities they had to gain such a reputation as to stand side by side with Smiling Skull in Wraith Mountain Range.

"Leader, rest assured. We promise, as long as those Gray-clad people dare to come, however many come, we'll wipe out that many," the deputy leaders of the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps confidently replied one by one.
