    ---- Chapter 3113 Knox grinned. "I don''t know if I''m really a man or not. But Andrew is the real deal!" Nyx rolled her eyes. "Don''t even tryparing yourself to him. He was fighting on battlefields way back when, and we were still living carefree lives back then." In front of the formation of 5000 warriors, Othniel bowed to the approaching Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, I''m entrusting you with our 5000 Hignd warriors.


    The Hignd Tribe isn''t good at expressing emotions, but Chief Wieser, myself, and the other elders have just one hope: that you''ll treat them well." Andrew returned the bow solemnly. "I will treat them as my own brothers!" Othniel''s eyes reddened, and the iron-willed man quickly turned his head and returned to stand before the 5000 warriors. Andrew would lead the Hignd warriors in a lightning raid on Kaelen''s werewolf forces, adding even more chaos to the already turbulent Wastnds. Othniel would serve asmander of the 5000 warriors and lead them into battle.


    Meanwhile, Knox would take over Othniel''s former position and begin managing Hignd Tribe affairs, preparing to assume the role of next chief. ---- Taking a deep breath, Andrew faced the 5000 Hignd Tribe warriors. This scene was not unfamiliar to him at all. He had once had a group of elite soldiers under hismand, brothers who had fought alongside him through life and death. Though the numbers had not been thisrge, the nature of it was no different. And today, after fighting alone for countless years, another force had been ced in his hands.


    Without question, the Hignd Tribe members were people of honor and loyalty. But precisely because of this, leading such an army filled with pain and hardship into battle made Andrew''s heart ache with sympathy and reluctance. Nheless, that was life; it spared no one. "I will lead you charging forward, through smoke and gunfire, to face the enemy''s fangs and savagery head-on!" Andrew''s voice was not loud. He sounded very calm, yet it reached every Hignd warrior''s ears with perfect rity.


    "When it''s all over, when the war finally ends, what awaits you is reunion with your loved ones and an era of peace. Let us fight for our families, our homes, and those we must protect! Fight until the end of time, until the world''s edge!" As the final words fell, his low voice surged upward, like thunder exploding across thend. The greatsword in Andrew''s hand rose with a roar, its de light shooting straight into the sky.


    ---- The suppressed will and boiling blood in every Hignd warrior ignited in an instant and was pushed to the edge of eruption A unified and violent roar thundered outward. "Kill! Until the end of the world!" "The end of the world!" The echo rolled endlessly across the ins. With Andrew''s sword pointing forward, the 5000 Hignd warriors turned in unison and began their rapid advance. Their target was the western outskirts of Abyss City, where Kan''s werewolf forces were. Tobiah covered his face and wept, feeling bothforted and heartbroken.


    The Hignd Tribe warriors had not ridden freely across the Wastnds for countless years. Freedom felt beautiful and sweet. Yet when the price of freedom was paid in the lives and blood of one''s people, its taste became bitter and painful. Still, for freedom and for the future of the Hignd Tribe, everything now was worth it and worth any sacrifice. At the very least, the Hignd Tribe had finally seen a glimmer of hope at the brink of extinction. ---- That hope was the man charging at the very front, who came from the Wastnds and from the distantnds of Holtrien.


    His name was Andrew Lloyd! At the very end, Nyx spoke softly and said, "Knox, I''m leaving too. I''m going with him. Take care of yourself. We will meet again in Abyss City." Knox nodded heavily and said, "Go, Nyx. Following him is the right thing to do." Nyx smiled sweetly and pulled the mask beneath her ck cloak over her face. She did not know whether it would be right or wrong. She only knew that she would never regret it.
