"What's wrong, leader?"

Just as Zack finished speaking, Vajra suddenly pulled Zack down!

Whoosh!

A sharp piercing sound exploded, and an arrow flew over their heads!

But the Mixed Blood following them wasn't so lucky, getting hit right in the forehead by an arrow and falling to the ground with a thud!

"Ambush! Ambush!"

Vajra immediately shouted loudly, only to be greeted by another volley of arrows!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

All the Mixed Bloods behind him fell, as Vajra rolled on the ground awkwardly, dodging the arrows!

"Damn it! If I had real Lizardman skin, I wouldn't fear these arrows at all!"

Vajra cursed angrily, then got up to flee toward the camp!

But just as he spoke those words, an arrow flew past his cheek, slicing through the tiny scales on his face, drawing lines of blood!

Vajra was momentarily stunned with fear, and the next moment several sharp arrows came shooting straight at him!

This time he couldn't dodge, and in a moment of desperation, he grabbed Zack beside him to shield himself!

"Puff!"

Arrows pierced Zack's shoulder, abdomen, and thigh, and he cried out in pain, collapsing onto the snowy ground!

"Leader!"

Zack clutched his wound, his eyes filled with shock and agony.

Vajra said nothing, dashing into the camp without looking back!

Zack lay powerless in the snow, watching dozens of arrows arc through the sky, landing in the camp!

Soon after, he heard a chaotic barrage of footsteps approaching, wanting to escape, but found himself unable to move.

"Stay still, or I'll chop your head off!"

A thunderous voice boomed, and Zack saw a bear-like man flash by him.

Then Zack heard cries of killing, the screams and sounds of surrender from Mixed Bloods.

Afterwards, Zack completely lost consciousness.

...

...

"Everyone, stay still!"

Gang Le kicked a crouching Mixed Blood, ordering the soldiers to tie them all up one by one.

Just earlier, a Mixed Blood played dead among the corpses, then jumped down the hill while no one was watching and slid away.

By the time Gang Le reacted, the person was already at the bottom of the slope, too late to chase.

The important thing was, the Lord had ordered not to pursue beyond the Razor Plain.

But the more Gang Le thought, the angrier he got, taking it out on the other Mixed Bloods, kicking them one by one.

"Alright, calm down."

Rein stepped forward to advise, "It's normal for a few to escape during a daytime raid like this."

"Besides, those who surrendered haven't done anything wrong, they're Lord's slaves."

"Not yet anyway, they'll undergo screening first."

Gang Le carried his axe, his gaze swept over the Lizardman prisoners, loudly interrogating, "Which of you has ever eaten human flesh?"

A dozen Mixed Bloods looked at each other, none spoke up.

"Speak up, or I'll chop off all your heads!"

Gang Le shouted harshly, causing the Mixed Bloods to tremble in fright.

The bolder Mixed Bloods were either dead or had fled, those who surrendered were the timid ones.

"Honorable sir, we don't have the privilege to eat human flesh..."

One timid Mixed Blood said: "Besides, just look at us, we wouldn't dare..."

"Really?!" Gang Le demanded loudly again.

"Really, sir, really!"

Another Mixed Blood, scales all over his limbs, stood up to ensure, "We truly don't eat, there's human blood in our veins too..."

"So you know you have human blood and still mixed with these Lizardmen!"

Gang Le questioned loudly.

The Mixed Blood shrank back, voice trembling: "Sir, we... we were forced!"

His eyes shifting: "After the village was destroyed by Lord Vajra, we had nowhere to go, we could only follow Lord Vajra!"

"Lord Vajra? Where is he?"

Gang Le narrowed his eyes, "Dead? Or among you guys?"

The Mixed Bloods quickly shook their heads, pointing towards the snowy forest in the distance: "Lord Vajra... the leader was the one who just escaped!"

"Damn it!"

Gang Le stomped his foot, unable to hold back a curse,

"If I had known, I would have gone after him myself!"

Gang Le was somewhat gritting his teeth.

However, Gang Le was also a bit puzzled.

Why didn't that leader run at the start, instead feigning death to escape?

Did he think there was a chance to strike back?

Gang Le didn't think much further, his gaze returned to the prisoners,

"Who else is a leader or holds a position, step forward!"

The Mixed Bloods looked at each other, silent for a moment; then, the speaking Mixed Blood pointed to an unconscious figure behind,

"Honorable sir, that guy's name is Zack, he's Vajra's deputy."

Gang Le surveyed the speaking Mixed Blood, grinned, and patted his shoulder: "You answered well, tonight you'll get a piece of meat!"

"Yes, yes, thank you!"

The Mixed Blood quickly reported his name, "Sir, I'm Sleta, you can order me for anything."

Gang Le nodded satisfied.

"Wait a minute!"

Gang Le suddenly recalled something, glaring at Sleta as he questioned, "Did you just say the fleeing Vajra was the one who destroyed Razor Plain village?"

"Yes, honorable sir!"

Sleta nodded quickly, "He led the group in massacring the village, stealing food and supplies!"

"Damn!"

Gang Le slapped his thigh, his regret making his teeth ache with irritation.

Damn it!

If he had captured that guy and brought him to the Lord, the Lord would have been so pleased!

At the very least, he'd have been rewarded with more wine!

Seeing Gang Le's face full of regret, Rein couldn't help but console him: "It's alright, capturing the deputy leader isn't bad either."

Gang Le took a long breath, then turned around and called over a healer, ordering: "Save this guy, you'll be well rewarded!"
