Bab 190: Warlord's Solution

Adrian was momentarily dumbfounded. He hadn't expected to encounter monsters capable of speech, let alone ones engaged in such a complex dispute. Shaking his head, he reminded himself that this was a fantasy world, and anything was possible. Yeah, that was the best way to convince himself.

As he continued to listen, the chiefs' conversation provided more context.

Gnarl's eyes flashed with fury. "Your arrogance will be your downfall. We have the numbers and the strength to crush you!"

Adrian's mind raced as he pieced together the situation. It seemed the two tribes had decided to settle their dispute through a battle between their leaders. The outcome would determine the fate of the forest and its resources.
