Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 309

C309 – Leaving the City
Posted on November 25, 2018 by AzureOrchid92
The Luoye City’s high ranking slave owners, being it was their King Su Lun’s birthday, were lively. On that day, Shao Xuan didn’t go out of the house, since going out might be more troublesome.
The rest of the city’s slave owners would be carried up, to be walked around the city while they gave out stuff. Sometimes it was foreign currency. Other times it was things, such as food.
The slaves who encountered these situations would be grateful as they kneeled on the ground to worship. With those high up looking down on these people, Shao Xuan wouldn’t want to stand out.
During these days, the people in the other tribes have been leaving the city. It seemed that their former departure was only practice, but Shao Xuan could feel that they were serious this time. The young warriors who were also first timers were also calm.
Before they left, they did not say anything to the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe. They only told Shao Xuan’s group to wait for them in the city. When they all returned after, it was finally time to leave for their tribes.
However, these people did not know that Shao Xuan’s group would follow Su Gu to fight in the Beast City.
The two moons in the sky had already moved closer, beginning to transition towards a full moon. The night in the desert had a layer of white light, standing high and looking from a distance. One could often see some desert activities of the nocturnal beasts’ shadows.
Lei and Tuo walked to Shao Xuan’s room. “We’re all ready.”
Tomorrow, they would leave the city. Tonight, they have to get everything ready, to have enough time to start tomorrow at any time.
“These three pieces of cloth are sent by Su Gu’s people today. You each take one.” Shao Xuan refered to the long coats placed next to them. It was even in the style with a hood, which what Shao Xuan had Su Gu do.
The color of the cloth was dark, very low-key, but the material was not the kind the slaves wear. Still, Su Gu had these in his inventory.
This was the first time Lei and Tuo had seen such clothes. It felt very novel.
“That’s right. Ah-Xuan, what about the camel?” Lei asked.
If they leave the camel in the city, they could ask Su Gu for help. But there was no insurance that the person in charge would not be out to slaughter the camel. In particular, the second eldest brother of Su Gu might be a problem, as he now perceived the Flaming Horns tribe’s three people as bad in his eyes.
“It will go with us.” Shao Xuan said, adding another sentence, “It chose to go on its own.”
As he mentioned this, Shao Xuan felt funny when he recalled what happened during the daytime. He asked Mud if it was going to follow them or stay here, and Mud had stepped forward. That meant to tell Shao Xuan that he chose to go with them.
The next day.
Early in the morning, the loud sound of the bone rang throughout the city.
In the past, the city was quiet during this time. Now there were already sounds of people talking and running around.
In addition to the human voices, there were also beasts roars.
This morning was destined not to be quiet.
When the sun came out, Shao Xuan’s group led the camel, and followed the people sent by Su Gu to leave.
Outside, some slaves dressed in leather were already lined up on the main road in the city. These people were different from the ordinary slaves in the city. They were used to guard the fighting army.
A strange-looking beast was brought out by high-ranking slaves. It opened its jaws, howling at the other people around and seeming to want to rush out and bite.
Peng Peng Peng —
The sound of heavy footsteps sounded at the end of the road.
A beast approaching eight meters high, that looked like a lizard with a thick layer of thorny covering and stripes, walked a few steps and revealed a forked tongue. For such a beast, its only role was as a bearer, carrying the king of Luoye City on its back.
Behind the giant beast, there were several slave owners who followed. They rode their domesticated beasts, but it was just that those beasts’ bodies were much smaller than the king’s beast.
Su Gu was riding on a beast that looked like a hyena. He waved to Shao Xuan’s trio and motioned for them to follow. Beside him, there were three camels, which were prepared for the three men of the Flaming Horns.
Shao Xuan took the lead, while Lei and Tuo followed to get on the other two camels on the back.
In their travel team, the slaves walked and only the slave owners could ride a beast. However, Shao Xuan’s group of three were more special. They were not slaves, nor were they slave owners. However, they did not have to run as slaves, so Su Gu got them the three camels.
As Shao Xuan sat on top of the camel, he felt an eye on him. On his side, he saw the calm face of a young man. That man and Su Gu looked alike, but, just now, he had coldness in his eyes as he stared straight at Shao Xuan across the crowd.
Was it Su Lei, Luoye City’s second young master?
Also, because of what happened at the oasis, all this second young master’s grievances were recorded because of Shao Xuan. Originally, he should be following the Luoye City King to fight in Beast City. However, because Su Gu had requested to join, adding the issue at the oasis, he was ordered to defend the city together with a few high-ranking slave owners of Su Ka. His mind was naturally unhappy.
Shao Xuan once asked Su Gu. After the king left the city with his team, would the second young master take the opportunity to seize the place?
Su Gu’s answer was: He wouldn’t dare.
Besides, the majority of the king’s slaves in the city have their own strengths. The others feared the king, Su Lun, hence they dared not try to usurp him before they had enough strength.
Shao Xuan took his stare back, and looked forward to where Su Gu was.
Su Gu had successfully enslaved fourteen slaves. This time, he had them all on his side, presumably to observe these people. With Wu Shi also on his side, he had fifteen slaves altogether.
Next to them, a guard in the street who usually had a ferocious face when facing against other slaves, now had a turn around. He looked at Su Gu at times, his face that always had a high-up expression immediately changed. He trotted over with a fruit plate handed up, giving complimenting words skillfully with a face flattering smile.
In the past, Su Gu would not be treated like this. Even if it was the slaves, although they maintained respectful to Su Gu, they were not so gallant. Now, it was different. Su Gu, this young master had been able to enslave successfully and have his own slaves. He was also taken by the king to go to Beast City, hence, other people’s attitude towards him was naturally different.
Su Gu randomly picked a fruit, looking at the city gate in front. He breathed out a long exhale, trying to stabilize his excited emotions.
After the king’s team left the city, Su Lei could no longer suppress his anger inside. He went back to his residence and smashed his things.
However, the people with him in the city did not care so much.
Beast City was a little far from Luoye City. It was a special place in the desert when one talked about a city for fighting. Although it was also in the desert, the weather was different from the rest of the cities in the desert.
The area was much cooler than the rest. After all, the temperature was low since the slave owners started this city for fighting, not to suffer, but to have fun.
