Chapter 1051: Letting go
Chapter 1051: Letting go
Dorian himself was leading the group that was fighting against Alidus’ group.
While I had no idea what his plans were in attacking us like this, it seemed that he must have made up his mind to attack someone that was with a group of giants like this.
If it was discovered that he did this, then there was no doubt that his reputation among the giants would drop.
At the same time, there might even be a civil war happening between their tribes because of this.
So there was no way that he could allow himself or his people to be seen through.
That was why they were dressed in all black clothes and they even had masks covering up their faces.
With Dorian leading his group, he was able to stop Alidus from doing anything to them. Though at the same time, part of that was because Alidus was holding back to see what we could find from this ambush.
As they attacked us, we easily dodged out of the way of their attacks with the mobility of our wyverns.
That was why we had the confidence to escape this ambush if things went wrong.
But then again, it wasn’t as if they didn’t think of the mobility of the wyverns when they thought about ambushing us. They should have thought of some way to deal with the wyverns.
Only it didn’t seem like they were planning anything.
That was why we didn’t fly off with the wyverns even though we were being surrounded by them.
There was a chance that this was what they were waiting for.
There was a chance that they had put some kind of trap up there for us.
However, it really didn’t seem like there was anything that they had planned.
With the way that they were going, it really seemed like they had no plan at all.
It seemed like they were just planning on using brute force to take us down.
Was that because they were confident in their power or was it because they didn’t know what the wyverns were capable of?
In any case, it shouldn’t be that they were so incompetent that they couldn’t think of a single plan to deal with a group of humans riding on wyverns. The wings were there, so something like that would have been obvious…
The giants just kept surrounding us and attacking with their weapons, but we easily dodged out of the way of their attacks.
With the way that they were attacking, it didn’t seem like they had any training at all.
It was almost as if it was a group of kids that were attacking us…
As this thought passed through my mind, I couldn’t help thinking of something else.
Perhaps this was their plan all along.
Now that I thought about it, it seemed that this group had come out after the other group came forward to stop Alidus’ group. It was almost as if the other group had ushered this group forward so they could fight us.
If that was the case…
Perhaps I had given Dorian too little credit…
I thought that he was a fool who only knew how to lose his temper and use his tribe’s power to suppress others, but it seemed that this wasn’t all that he was about. It seemed that he wasn’t someone who was completely brainless and was worthy of being a junior chief just like Alidus.
Though if he wasn’t, then he wouldn’t have been able to compete for Isra against Alidus in the first place.
It seemed that his plan was to use us to take care of these giants that were currently surrounding us.
These giants were nothing more than sacrificial lambs.
They were most likely the kids that had biases against humans, which was why they would attack us in the first place.
Since the Korin Tribe was known for their stance against humans, it should be easy for him to recruit kids like this to his side.
Since they were kids, they naturally didn’t know how to fight properly which was what was happening now.
What Dorian was hoping to happen was that we would perceive these kids as a bigger threat than they actually were and use too much force against them. If we accidentally killed one of these kids, it would have been easy for them to pin the blame on us and create a large incident. Once that happened, they could even turn this matter on Alidus and the Harakka Tribe who had brought us here in the first place.
In short, he was setting us up so that he could use a borrowed knife to kill us.
If we turned all the giant tribes in the area around us by killing a single giant, then it would mean that everything we had done so far would be meaningless. At the same time, it would mean that we wouldn’t be able to build up a relationship with the giants again.
Once something was broken, it was hard to repair it.
After realizing this, I knew immediately what to do.
Since there was nothing else to learn from them, all that was left was taking care of them.
With that, I said, “Beat them up and subdue them.”
Klein and the others were surprised to hear this so soon, but they didn’t hesitate to follow the orders since they knew that this was what was going to happen eventually.
It didn’t matter if it happened a bit sooner.
Commanding the wyverns, they easily knocked all of the weapons out of the hands of the
giants that were around them and then knocked them to the ground.
These giants seemed shocked that they were overpowered like this all of a sudden.
Then there were looks of fear that appeared in their eyes.
Seeing this, I said in a cold voice, “Scram.”
The giants didn’t need more encouragement than this to stand up and run.
They didn’t even turn back as they ran away.
Just like this, we let these giants go.
