At this time, a five-meter fox appeared, but it had a silver patch of fur between its eyes and an imposing aura.
Noticing this fox's arrival, Fifth Elder and the other foxes lower their head with respect and greeted.
"Patriarch!"
The big fox was indeed the patriarch of this fox clan, Gage!
Gage nodded in acknowledgment. "At ease."
He looked at Ace with great interest since he managed to break into their small haven without alerting anyone except the ancestor, and he could guess if they weren't warned, it would be pretty fatal for them in a long run.
Nevertheless, he still thought this demon was over and above his head to dare infiltrate this deep into an enemy camp, instead of running away or calling for help, and now he was at their mercy or the Ancestor's mercy.
He smiled ambiguously and spoke in demon language, "It would be a lie to say, I'm not impressed by your courage, but it's a pity you're not one of us."
