"Ronald, what did you discover?"

Ronald had a slight reaction, and Catherine immediately noticed.

Her sensory abilities couldn't match Ronald's level, but by observing the man's reactions beside her, she could achieve a similar effect.

Hearing Katrina's inquiry, Ronald replied truthfully:

"My reconnaissance magic has detected a group approaching from the outer forest, and their numbers are considerable."

"..."

"A considerable number..."

Catherine raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the people Ronald mentioned.

Then the master of the tower, skilled in astronomy, activated a spell, soared high into the sky, and transformed her curiosity into actual reconnaissance, soon vanishing in the night, invisible.

Meanwhile, a bit ahead of Ronald.

The High Priest, who was comforting the members of the migratory tribe, being the only one immune to the confusion magic in the area, naturally noticed the actions of Ronald and Catherine behind him.

However, the elder made no additional moves.

Except for a slight stiffening of his shoulders while speaking, he continued to focus on comforting the migratory tribe, wholeheartedly dedicating himself to his duty and work.

"..."

Seeing Catherine and the High Priest concentrated on their own curiosities.

Ronald stood silently in place, not intervening or acting, while rapidly analyzing the situation in his mind.

Influencing others isn't necessarily a good thing.

If these migratory people can solve their problems under the High Priest's leadership, without a doubt, that's the ideal state.

And Ronald hadn't forgotten.

Among those before him, who had just escaped from violence and madness, there were spies of the otherworldly invaders mixed in with the humans and summoned creatures.

By keeping his identity hidden, Ronald could more easily detect any actions from the other side and swiftly expose them!

...

Time and events.

Under the efforts of all parties, stability was being gradually restored and progressed.

The situation seemed to improve.

At least in Ronald's view—recently chaotic and violent migratory tribe members were now stabilizing under the High Priest's comfort.

This was not a facade.

Through his sensitivity to human hearts, Ronald was convinced that the people here were truly experiencing a change in essence and attitude.

Such a powerful and direct comforting effect.

It could likely only be achieved within an ancient social structure like the migratory tribe.

"..."

"Priest! There's movement from Harmono's direction!"

At this moment, a reminder echoed among the survivors of the migratory tribe.

Following the direction given, others noticed a magic fluctuation at Harmono's position, approaching without any attempt to conceal its presence.

A powerful caster!

And it's approaching rapidly!

Faced with this discovery, the migratory tribe quickly fell into a state of tension.

Even though they trusted and relied on the High Priest's guidance.

Considering the recent internal strife and the arrival of the land's rightful owners after the conflict between them...

A consensus silently formed among everyone.

——This is definitely not something to be happy about!

"..."

Among the migratory tribes, only the High Priest remained calm and composed at this moment.

Seeing the reaction of his clansmen, he immediately raised his arm and used his abilities:

"Children, do not panic!"

"Even if a hyena breaks into the tribe, we must see what it holds!"

The High Priest's shout.

It came from a widely known legend within the migratory tribe.

In the wilderness, hyenas are undoubtedly dangerous creatures.

However, in the distant past, a former Great Commander of the migratory tribe, due to enemy schemes, found himself stranded in the wilds and accidentally encountered a hyena, joining it on a path of revenge.

One of the most famous crises.

Was when the Great Commander faced starvation in the wilderness, the hyena procured prey for him, alleviating the crisis.

This story has been passed down to this day.

Thus, within the migratory tribes, a proverb-like saying emerged.

Its meaning is that even when faced with dangerous phenomena, one must discern whether the approaching entity bears goodwill or malice, and not hastily make rash and hasty judgments.

This deeply ingrained phrase, combined with the High Priest's status among the migratory tribes.

The previously agitated migratory tribesmen, their mood quickly calmed significantly.

Soon, the approaching party from Harmono finally arrived at the outskirts of the camp. Although the migratory tribes couldn't see them, Ronald had quickly detected their presence.

The group consisted of many.

A team of about a dozen elite casters and summoned creatures approached the migratory tribes under the cover of night.

The time was still night.

This group carried lanterns glowing with a blue-green luminescence.

As the light illuminated the scene within the camp, and upon seeing the devastation within, the casters, who had rushed to the migratory tribe, were momentarily consumed by shock and confusion.

"What happened here?"

"Corpses, there are many corpses here! It looks like they've suffered a massacre?"

"No! Observe the corpses closely—they were attacking one another. This was an internal conflict!"

Due to the astonishing scene before their eyes.

The newcomers from Harmono, even briefly forgot their mission.

But there was one exception, the one leading, Demon Lama.

Being a demon lord, accustomed to slaughter, this kind of intra-tribal tragedy seemed trivial to him.

Thus, continuing his loyalty to his summoner.

Lama nonchalantly stepped into the pool of blood and shouted towards the depths of the migratory tribe's camp:

"High Priest, you should still be here, right?"

"..."

The demon shouted with notable authority and steadiness.

The powerful Lama had a perception range wider and more precise than ordinary casters, so he was quite sure there were still many living people at the tent's direction.

Upon hearing this voice, the High Priest glanced around at his observing tribesmen.

Then he sighed softly.

Gesturing to people not to panic, indicating he'd handle this matter.

Subsequently, the elder took measured and steady steps, heading towards where the demon's voice came from:

"By the sound of it, is that Mr. Lama!"

"As you can see—some unfortunate events just occurred here, so please wait for me to come over."
