16. Savage King Tribe.

Elan stood behind his family soldier, observing the battlefield ahead. He is observing every aspect of the battlefield to see if the help of the professionals is needed. 

Now, the battle is fought by the people of the Snake tribes and ordinary soldiers of his family. He does not want to send the fourth-rank professionals to fight because a week ago, he lost a third-rank warrior professional.

The battle at the gate of the Savage King Tribe is brutal, he does not want to lose a Rank 4 professional.

One-On-One no tribe member of the Savage King Tribe is a match of a Rank 4 professional but fighting in a narrow space with multiple opponents can lead to their death.

He already lost Willie.

He was sent to throw the waste outside as a punishment. It is relatively easier to become a professional even if they have little talent, they can practice day and night a skill and can become a basic professional.

But most of them stop at third rank, the threshold of forming magic power in the body.

According to the extraordinary system of this continent, Rank 1 professionals are the same as a trained hunter.

Ranks 2 and 3 are on the same level as Awaken Blood and Shaman Realm.

Ranks 4 and 5 are on the same level as Spirit Blood and the Great Shaman Realm.

With Willie missing and likely dead, his army contains 11 professionals, 4 of them are Rank 1, 5 of them are either Rank 2 or 3, 2 are Rank 4 and he is at Rank 5.

He is at the limit of Rank 5, a magic hunter. For him to advance to Rank 6, he has to master a quasi-bronze rank skill or tame a Bronze rank magic beast.

Thinking of taming a Bronze Rank magic beast his attention turned to Ice Poison Snake, a 20-foot snake with a skin color of snow, and attacked with a spray of poison ice mist. 

Even if the mist does not freeze the target from the outside, inhaling the mist will freeze the target inside. 

But the mist does not have any effect on his opponent, a Savage King Lizard the totem of the Savage Lizard Tribe. 

The Savage King Lizard is immune to most poisons, even though they are not immune to a particular poison, the poison is less effective upon them compared to others.

The skin of the Savage King is as hard as any Iron and gleams when sunlight falls on black skin.

The Savage King Lizard when standing height reaches up to 12 feet but the Savage King realm is a small realm lower than the Snake.

So, the fight will be ultimately won by the snake.

From the start of the battle between the two, the snake is suppressing the lizard, but still, now the lizard has not used his innate ability.

As if waiting for something.

His family soldiers together with the Snake Tribe members are also winning against the soldier of the Savage King Tribe.

But he does not see the despair and the fear on their face. 

Even their effective ambush tactic did not work, after the shots of magic guns from his soldiers at first. 

But no scream of pain or hysteria were heard after their shots the gate of the Savage King Tribe opened and a hail of arrows came from the Savage King Tribe. 

Many of his soldiers were injured and two even died.

They were guarding the gate's entrance, leaving a perfect opening for his soldier to shoot them. But the tribe members of the savage king tribe standing at the front have a Black Shield large enough to cover their body and block the bullet from their magic gun.

This led to the Snake Tribe members hiding behind the wall in ambush to start the attack and after he sees his men cannot fire without injuring the Snake Tribe members.

He also orders them to join with the Snake Tribe members and attack with their melee weapons.

Hours passed by, and they were only able to push the Savage King Tribe members a few steps back.

Seeing the Situation not turning favorable to them, a prolonged fight is not in their favor.

The tribe is still inside a forest filled with innumerable Magic beasts and the mountain range behind him- Bronze, Silver, and even Gold rank Magic or Feral Beasts are present.

The smell of blood and commotion of the battle may attract them, If a Bronze or higher rank Beast is attracted he and his entire Soldier will be wiped out.

And nobody will be there to protect his little sister back home.

Thinking of his little sister makes him make up his mind.

He did not mind the loss of 4th rank professional thinking of his little sister.

He glanced at James and Reed standing at his side," You two go over and help them."

Watch as the two join the fight and after a few minutes, the Savage King Tribe is pushed back inside the tribe.

Their body covered in fighting spirit made them invulnerable to attack for a few minutes. 

They both are knights trained by his family. His family when his father was alive had a full squadron of 36 low-level Knights. 

But they were lost with his father in the previous invasion of black orcs.

Now, He was able to train for the past eight years- Five Knights Professional. 

Among them a Fifth Rank Knight, Three Fourth Rank, and one Third Rank.

He left the Fifth Rank to take care of his Barony, the Third Rank to protect his Sister who is studying at the Noble School in Eagle Town territory of Viscount Galus.

His Father's acquaintance and they will protect his sister till he remains a Baron.

Of the 10,000 Merit needed to retain his title, He has already earned 1487 merit, and if he can form a settlement here for the army behind.

He will earn 5000 merit. 

Leaving him with 4513 merit behind. He has two years left he can earn some more merit. Even if he still did not reach 10,000 merit he can buy them from others with Gold Coins.

So, to quickly end the fight, he takes out his bow, and as he pulls the string off the bow, a purple color energy arrow appears.

He points toward the Lizard, with the size of the Lizard he does not have to aim carefully only not to hit the Snake.

He released the string and the arrow streaked toward the Lizard.

But before the arrow hits the lizard, a golden arc appears in the path of the arrow and the two collide.

And he hears the cry of a Bird.

As he raises his head to find the Bird and after seeing the Bird he curses in his mind.

He raises his bow to shoot toward the Bird because it is not a magic or feral beast, which he does not mind as much as a Spirit Beast.

Most Spirit Beasts are totems of the Tribe and the bird is a Golden Sparrow.

A tribe some distance from the Savage King Tribe is named the Golden Sparrow Tribe and its totem is a Golden Sparrow Spirit Beast.

And if the Golden Sparrow came to help the Savage King Tribe then its tribe would not be far away.

His mind a worse scenario flash but he does not want to think of them and release his arrow against the golden arc attack coming toward him.
