Chapter 603 Dark under the lamp
Seeing that things were turning sour, the two Star Clan members shrank back and tried to make a run for it.
"They're trying to escape! The traitor must have been exposed!"
"Capture them! Don't let the traitors escape!"
Before they could even get their feet wet, Garfield's human wall completely blocked them.
Garfield's side had a large and powerful force, and the batch of counterfeit goods that Qin You was manipulating were all very skilled. They quickly tied the two of them up like dumplings.
The commotion was quite loud. On the bustling street, a group of handsome men and beautiful women were pushing and shoving each other, making a racket, which immediately attracted the curious gazes of several beastmen.
Others frowned, then darted away as fast as they could, most likely heading to report to the city defense team.
"Chief... what do we do now?" The StarClan members all looked at Garfield with fear in their eyes.
Oh no, is my identity about to be exposed?
Garfield's lips curled into a smile; the little gray cat had already arranged everything, and he knew exactly what he was doing.
He frowned and kicked the two tightly bound rice dumplings on the ground with his toe: "The situation is obvious. The reason we came here this time is because we were tricked by them."
"Bullshit! We did call you here, but we're definitely not traitors..." The two Star Clan members on the ground were speechless, and no one believed what they said.
"Heh, if you're not an inside agent, then why gather everyone here? Isn't it just to make it easier for the Beast God to wipe you all out in one fell swoop?" Xiaomi said hatefully.
These words were like ice water poured into a hot oil pan, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat: "Could it really be..."
Everyone remembers clearly how hard those two guys tried to instigate everyone; no one would believe they didn't have ulterior motives.
If these two are traitors, then wouldn't all these Star Clan survivors gathering in the Beast Territory be walking into a trap? Falling into the trap set by the Beastmen and the hybrids?!
"They've probably fallen into a trap! Otherwise, why would they be so eager to instigate them?" Garfield's face darkened, and his voice turned cold.
"You're spouting nonsense!" The two Star Clan members trembled with rage. They had been shouting for help to become leaders, but instead of becoming leaders, they were kidnapped by their own kind.
However, in the eyes of all StarClan, these two were already equated with traitors.
"That's it! This is the territory of the Beast God!" The Star Clan members were filled with despair.
Xiaomi, Katie, and Paige took to their extremes, pouting and bursting into tears with acting skills worthy of an Oscar: "We're doomed, we've definitely been targeted by the gods!"
Fear spread like a plague among the people huddled in the corner.
"Stop yelling, all of you! What good does this mess do?" Old Tang quickly shouted, trying to calm things down. "Let's see if everyone's here first."
The star race hurriedly pulled out the purple bone snails from their pockets, frantically urging their familiar companions:
"Hey? Have you arrived yet?"
"Hey, hey? If you want to live, hurry up! It's across from Leopard Immortal Tower! Everyone's here, just waiting for you!"
After a flurry of activity and communication, several more waves of Star Clan members arrived, and the situation became clear.
"Almost there," someone reported.
A StarClan member in the crowd, his face ashen and terrified, cried out, "I...a guy I know acted on his own...and...it exploded!"
Everyone's scalp tingled instantly: "It's...it's blown up?!"
"Most likely, it was during the hunt for the hybrids that it attracted the attention of the Beast God... His divine might overwhelmed it, causing it to explode..." The Star Clan's voice trembled.
"Are we really doomed today?!"
"I don't want to die!!"
Suppressed wails rose and fell, creating utter chaos, while heavy footsteps approached from afar.
A squad of tiger guards, clad in imposing armor and wielding gleaming spears, marched in orderly formation toward this place.
Clearly, the previous riots had prompted the orcish pedestrians to report it to the city defenses.
“Leader…” All the Star Clan’s eyes were once again focused on Garfield, who had become the backbone of the community.
"Don't worry, although they are spies, they may not know these Tiger Guards."
Garfield's eyes were as firm as a rock: "Have you ever heard an old saying?"
"What?" everyone asked eagerly.
"The darkest place is right under your nose; the most dangerous place is the safest place! We need to gain the beastmen's trust and go to the lord's mansion with them!"
At that moment, in the eyes of all StarClan, Garfield's figure became incredibly imposing; his leadership qualities had already won over all the StarClan members...
The imposing tiger guards stopped abruptly in front of the crowd. The leader, with eyes like lightning and a booming voice, asked, "Gentlemen, are you the distinguished half-blood guests who have come to attend the Alliance Conference?"
The True Star Clan members were trembling with fear, their heads practically drooping to their crotches, not daring to meet the Tiger Guard's sharp gaze.
Garfield, Old Tang, and the group of fake Star Clan members controlled by Qin You remained unfazed, heads held high.
“That’s right, we’re here to attend the Alliance Conference,” Garfield replied confidently.
The tiger guards nodded, their gazes falling on the two still-pupa-like creatures on the ground: "And who are these two...?"
Garfield's eyes blazed with hatred, his voice rising eight octaves as he gritted his teeth: "These two are StarClan members disguised as half-breeds, they're our blood enemies! They tried to infiltrate the team, thankfully we saw through their scheme!"
"What? StarClan!" The lead tiger guard's eyes widened.
Dealing with StarClan? They don't have that kind of ability!
The other guard stared at Garfield with disbelief in his eyes: "StarClan's power is extraordinary... How did you...?"
The implication was clear—you "hybrids" are inherently weak, so how come you can suppress the Star Clan?
These words terrified the True Star Clan members mingling in the crowd. They were able to capture those two only because they were also Star Clan members, weren't they? But this identity… they couldn't admit it even if it meant death…
Garfield was prepared, his expression extremely "devout": "We don't know either, perhaps it's the blessing of the Beast God."
The phrase "Beast God" sums it all up.
The Star Clan was dumbfounded.
This, this is okay?
The next moment, their faces showed admiration.
The leader, he really is the leader!
The ability to remain calm even when a mountain collapses before you, the means to turn the tide...
On the other side, all doubts vanished from the faces of the Tiger Guards, replaced by utmost solemnity.
"So that's how it is! It is truly our dereliction of duty that we have caused our distinguished guests such a fright in the Beast Territory!"
"We can't deal with StarClan, but rest assured, Lord Beast God can!"
The one in the lead placed his hand on his heart and began to pray.
"Supreme Beast God, evil Star Race beings have infiltrated my Realm of Beasts, plotting to harm my allies, the Hybrid Race! Your believers humbly beseech you to unleash your divine power! Slay these two and restore justice for our allies!"
As soon as the words fell!
The group of True Star Clan members crouching in the corner felt a chill run from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, their scalps tingling, fearing that the divine might of the Beast God would fall upon them.
The two on the ground were in an even worse state. They opened their mouths, glaring angrily at everyone, trying to drag all the Star Clan down with them, but their mouths were open and no sound came out.
The divine power had silently enveloped them, and with two loud bangs, purple bone dust scattered everywhere.
