Chapter 1078: You Wanted to Talk?

"A Realm Turtle is a divine turtle that can grow to the size of a realm. Nevertheless, Realm Turtles weren't common, even during the primordial era of the gods and devils. The turtles are required to have a special type of physique to ignore the limitations of their body growth."
"Supposedly, the biggest Realm Turtle to ever exist grew to the size of a star realm during the primordial era of gods and devils."
"A star realm?!" Chief Sar-Rakshi and Chief Sul-Dakhi exclaimed with shock. Even Rainshine and Nightingale were startled as they stared at the giant turtle shell with disbelief.
They all found it inconceivable that a Realm Turtle could grow big. A turtle as big as a star realm… Such an existence is heaven-defying.
Nevertheless, Leon continued to impart what he knew, "However, that Realm Turtle was an exception. It was probably one of the most ancient beings during the primordial era. Its succeeding descendants didn't reach its level of growth."
"Even so, it doesn't change the fact that all the Realm Turtles that ever appeared during the primordial era had grown ridiculously huge. This turtle shell is puny in comparison."
"It must have been quite young when it died, unlike its predecessors," Leon assumed before shaking his head. "Anyhow, that's that. Let us enter the Divine Tortoise Tribe."
Having stood outside the Divine Tortoise Tribe for some time, it was clear that no one from the Divine Tortoise Tribe would come out and welcome them in.
"No one is going to come out, my Lord. They wouldn't open their gate for anyone, and it won't be easy to break in either," Chief Sul-Dahki mentioned.
"The Divine Tortoise Tribe has been shutting themselves inside their shell since the start of the battle for hegemony. It was only the other day that they chose to send some people out."
"They don't need to come out for food?"
"That's what we also wondered, my Lord. However, we never caught the Divine Tortoise Tribe sending warriors out to hunt. We could only assume they stockpile a large food reserve in advance, or they are simply fasting."
"I see. Well, let's try greeting them first. It's quite rude to break into someone's home without giving them a chance to open up first," Leon casually stated.
Shortly after, he approached the Divine Tortoise Tribe's front entrance, which was one of the few weak points in the Divine Tortoise Tribe's defense.
After all, the entrance wasn't part of the giant turtle shell that protected the tribe. It was made from other strong materials to block off the openings.
Leon didn't doubt that it was heavily fortified.
Nevertheless, it was still questionable whether the entrance's heavy fortification was tough enough to withstand the attack of someone like Nightingale or Goldenstride.
"The alliance leader of the southern tribes and western tribes, Leonhardt, had come to visit the Divine Tortoise Tribe!" Leon announced his presence in a clear and resounding voice.
No matter how heavy the Divine Tortoise Tribe's fortification was, they still had to leave gaps for sound and visual awareness outside of their tribe.
Leon picked up the Divine Tortoise Tribe's people's surprises and mumblings behind the thick fortified wall with his sharp hearing.
They were trying to determine whether it was true that he, the alliance leader of the southern tribes, also subjugated the western tribes.
"The Divine Tortoise Tribe does not welcome you! Please go back!" a deep manly voice sounded from within the walls.
Alas, the response from the Divine Tortoise Tribe was as to be expected. They weren't stupid enough to open their gate for the enemy.
"I told you, my Lord. They wouldn't open their gate for anyone. Your words are wasted on them," Chief Sul-Dahki said.
Leon shook his head with a slight smile and said, "This isn't about whether they will open or not. I am simply announcing my visit out of courtesy. As the alliance leader, I have to be a role model and set an example for everyone to follow."
"Considering the Divine Tortoise Tribe has purposely avoided participation in the battle for hegemony and hasn't shed any blood from other tribes, we should give them some respect in that regard."
"As such, I will use the peaceful approach and try to convince them with reason first."
"And if that doesn't work, my Lord?"
"Then, I will reason with my fist."
"…"
Chief Sul-Dahki and Chief Sar-Rakshi's lips twitched with speechlessness. Their new alliance leader was rather a particular and odd one.
…
"Whether the Divine Tortoise Tribe welcomes me or not, it's not something for you to arbitrarily decide. Let me see your chief," Leon demanded.
"Piss off! The chief will not be seeing anyone, let alone a big bad man like you! So go away, stinky man! Smelly people from outside are all bad people!"
Multiple different voices sounded. Moreover, they sounded very young; they were the voices of children.
As for the deep voice from earlier, it was no longer heard.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he learned that the owner of the deep manly voice had left the gate, leaving only a few gate watchers and a group of children in the area.
Knowing he was dealing with children, Leon was very patient and accommodating; he didn't feel offended by the words of children.
Alas, his followers didn't share the same patience.
"Insolence! How dare you disrespect the Lord with your crude words! I should have all your tongues cut and fed to the hyenas!"
"My Lord, allow me to bust down this gate and teach these insolent people a lesson!"
Goldenstride and Nightingale spoke simultaneously, albeit towards different targets. At the same time, their Divine Beast-level aura raged indiscriminately.
"Ahh! Smelly people from outside are so scary!" the children behind the thick gate were immediately frightened away.
Fortunately, there was a thick gate between them and multiple gate watchers with relatively high strength to block off some of the auras.
Otherwise, the children would have been harmed by the Goldenstride and Nightingale's auras.
"There's no need, Nightingale. And you too, Goldenstride. Rein in your auras. They're just children. No need to be harsh.
"Yes… my Lord.
Shortly after Nightingale and Goldenstride complied, Leon sensed a new person arrived at the thick gate.
"You wanted to talk to me?" the person asked.
