Looking down, Kong Zhi's expression barely changed as he saw Nie Xia and his soldiers fighting along with the beasts.
"A small group of human soldiers? Along with one of the commanders it seems, interesting. The front line is taking quite a few losses but that is to be expected. Still, those beasts are putting up a bigger fight than I thought. Fifty thousand are already dead, no doubt that tree and your mother have done a big part. But fifty thousand is just a small fraction of a million men."
Kong Zhi then knelt down.
With his warhammer in one hand and the chains in the other. he whispered into the ears of this scarred beast.
"Soon, the forest will be under my control, this place you call your home will be mine."
The Hel-Fire Dragon's eyes turned back, glaring at him murderously. The beast produced a low growl to which Kong Zhi yanked the chain, pulling the head back until their eyes were inches away.
*if you're wondering why the Matron speaks so well and the ape doesn't, it's because of a difference in age and power. As said before, the Matron is one of the oldest and strongest.
