The Arcane Knights fled, although they themselves considered a strategic retreat.

With the rest of the team having no intention of fighting again, his beloved mount was seriously injured, and Lem, the leader of the Arcane Knights, knew that it was unrealistic even if he wanted to avenge his brother's death.

So even if he was unwilling, he could only hate and leave the valley with his brother's corpse.

Rocky has no intention of chasing, these Arcane knights are not weaker than him, if it weren't for their lack of combat experience, maybe he would have fled for his life, and who knows if they have any hole cards in their hands.

After all, this is a magical world, relying on a high-level spell scroll or some kind of spell prop to stage a desperate situation, I don't know how many times a year, Rocky doesn't want to be one of them to be knocked down.

In fact, this battle was lost by Rocky and them, not counting how many resources it would take to train an Arcane Knight.

The Arcane knights had only one death, a two-legged wyvern, while Rocky's side had seventeen beasts dead, eight maimed and three of the thick-skinned forest trolls.

To Rocky's relief, although the temple had collapsed in half, the statue of the goddess miraculously did not suffer any damage, as if an invisible force was guarding it.

Although he said it lightly before, in fact, in his heart, he was still very jealous of this goddess, if there was really something wrong with this statue, he would not be severely remembered by this goddess in the future.

In terms of holding grudges, a creature like a woman is definitely no worse than a black dragon, let alone a goddess!

While Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, Tina, the little cat woman, was in boundless pain.

After the Arcane Knights fled, she rushed back to the temple to help those beast people, but when she forcibly overdrew her body to heal the wounds of those injured people regardless of her own consumption, what she was waiting for was not their gratitude, but disgusted eyes and heartbreaking scolding!

"Why? Why did you do this to me? What the hell did I do wrong?"

With tears on her face, she looked at her people who had fled her like a plague god, her eyes full of sadness and confusion, and she didn't understand why she had been treated so unfairly.

"Your biggest mistake is to be as stubborn as Graeme, in order to insist on that kind of ethereal thing and ignore the life and death of the clan, in this world, only the strong can be free, and the weak can only survive by clinging to the strong, and you don't understand this, you don't understand, compared with freedom, ordinary people care more about whether their lives are safe, whether they can be fed and clothed, and whether their children can grow up safely......"

The tiger man Jays slowly came behind the little cat woman, and said the reason with a complicated face, the reason he thought.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was unsurprisingly retorted by the angry voice of the little catwoman, "But have you forgotten what happened to us when we were enslaved in the past?

Looking at the little catwoman who was like a wounded lion cub and pointed at her angrily, Jays couldn't help but shake his head, looked down at her with pity in his eyes and said, "Do you remember that leopard girl? From her mouth, we have learned a lot of news, but you have not noticed that she has never said that her family will not have enough food and clothing, at most she complains that she can't eat fresh meat or have no new clothes to wear, and you will only take it for granted that humans are abusing them, right?"

"Isn't it? The meat that humans eat is produced by the livestock raised by our bestials, and the clothes they wear are also woven from the mulberry hemp planted by our beasts in the manor, but we ourselves can't eat the meat of our own livestock, and we can't wear clothes woven with the twine we planted, isn't this abusing us beasts?" asked the little catwoman with a puzzled and angry face.

"That's right, that's abuse!" Jays nodded, agreeing.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he slowly shook his head in the little catwoman's hopeful gaze: "So, Tina, you still don't understand the problem, compared to the human masters, those beasts are indeed doing very poorly, but compared to our beast people who fight with their lives for food and clothing in the Demon Mountains, they live like they are in heaven!"

"That's why you will be betrayed by them if you go to save people, because they can't follow you to live this life in the Demon Mountains, and not just because the human mage used poison to control them. ”

"You always say that we have forgotten what happened when we were enslaved, but we have forgotten what is the fundamental reason why we escaped from human enslavement, we escaped so that we were not used as some evil test material, not because we were enslaved, if it were not for the evil test of those evil human mages in the beginning, we would not have fled with Graham into the dangerous Monster Mountain Range!"

"I don't know if the human mages have used beasts to conduct those evil experiments now, so I won't surrender to humans now, but Lord Rocky will definitely not use us for experiments, and he has also promised not to use us as food, we surrender to a strong man like him, under his protection, it is only a matter of time before the tribe grows, why not pay a little freedom for this? Is a little freedom more important than your own life and the survival of the tribe?"

At the end of the day, Jays's tone was almost yelling. These words had been held in his heart for several months, and today he was finally able to say them openly in front of Tina and the rest of his kind, and when he said this, he suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart, and of course more of grief and pain.

After hearing his words, the little cat girl Tina suddenly fell to the ground trembling like a lightning strike, looking at him with a face full of pain and helplessness, and muttered: "No, it's not like this, it's not like this......"

"That's it, what the leader of Jaez said is not wrong at all, we don't want to follow you everywhere to run for our lives, we don't want to have a hungry stomach without a meal, we just want to have a safe nest to live in, even if it is dirty, it is better than sleeping in a tree hole, if you didn't force Lord Rocky away, how could those people die so easily today? They were all killed by you, by you devil!"

The angry accusations from another beast man ruthlessly shattered the last bit of fantasy and persistence in Catwoman's heart, making her feel as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, without a trace of warmth, a trace of light!

"Am I really wrong?" she muttered to herself with a blank look in her eyes.
