Chapter 341 - Prince?
"What's in it for me? Jehahaha... I will be able to please our god. Think about it, won't he be happy to see the Barbarians once again ruling over humans, taking back the Belmont subcontinent, which was once the backyard of the Barbarian clan. After the humans arrived, they multiplied like ants, and slowly ate away our territory, made us hole up in this Forest of Caragan."
"... If not for the current Ullesis, the humans might even have taken this last home away from us," Romethra said as a matter of fact. There was respect in his voice
"Yes, I agree with you on that, but you also need to accept that the same Ullesis had made our hands bound in shackles. She brings up the ancient agreement whenever any barbarian tribes want to attack the human countries. Humans are benefitting from that. They have no regard for the agreement, and most of them don't even know about it."
"In fact, many humans think that barbarian powerhouses are at a disadvantage in the battle against someone who uses elements. That's what I find extremely laughable. If that was really the case, why were they not able to deal with the Ullesis even after experts from the five sects and from six Kingdoms came together to attack her but still failed." Romethra wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
It's a fact that Rank 3 barbarians are at a disadvantage when battling humans of their own levels because of humans' use of elements. But there are ways to suppress humans' advantage or altogether remove barbarians' weakness, making them almost immune to elemental attacks.
But the Ullesis has banned anyone from using those ways because of the requirements of making big sacrifices. The secret technique which can make barbarian immune to elements attacks is also kept out of reach from the thirteen Barbarian chieftains because of the ancient agreement.
"Romethra, I've recovered that secret technique and the way to contact our god. You only need to make a contract with me, and I will give it to you. Making it possible for you to dethrone the current Ullesis and bring all the other 12 chieftains under your rule. So tell me your decision now, Romethra Anthral, son of Dromandu Anthral..."

The moment he did that, the dark gray mist was blown away by an invisible power. For the first time, Romethra saw the face of the Shaman. He was mind blown.
...
"Come and face me, you bastard," Commander Iran roared. Danny smiled, seeing Commander Iran running in his direction. He got ready to take the Armen Kingdom's commander down and win the war just as it began.
But just as they were fifty meters apart, Danny noticed something peculiar with his spiritual sense. Amid ordinary footsoldiers, Danny sensed a sudden spike in energy.
It was a middle-aged man who released his own cultivation base. Out of thin air, a bow appeared in his hand, and just half a second later, the man shot.
Soldiers standing in the vicinity only saw a blue streak of lightning passing over their heads.
The same blue light reflected in Danny's right eye while a yellow light reflected in his left eye at the same time.
The blue streak of light was an arrow covered in the lightning element. In contrast, the yellow light was Commander Iran himself. He had leaped from his horse and into the air, bringing down his fist at him.
The lighting arrow was faster.
It arrived in front of Danny in a split second.
Numerous thoughts passed through Alex's brain.
It was a well-thought plan by the enemy.
A sneak attack like this would have taken any person by surprise. The lightning arrow, which is also a graded one-time consumable weapon, was swift.
Before the target could have sensed the danger, the lightning arrow would have come in two meters of the target, giving him no chance to react and evade it.
Even if the target had any external treasures to protect himself, the arrow would still take his life because it could negate and bypass most of the low-level protective barriers.
If the target somehow survived the deadly arrow, Commander Iran would come to deal the final blow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex did not know about the lightning arrow's abilities, but he never thought of using any talisman or activating a protective artifact to defend himself.
Using the Dragonfly movement technique that Alex had perfected after practicing for a long time, his body made an impossible movement. Danny's body moved sideways horizontally as if the laws of inertia never applied to him.
Boom!
The lightning arrow hit a tree and exploded. As for Commander Iran, he landed on the ground with a dumbfounded face.
He turned his face behind in horror.
The young man was heading towards the direction of the Master archers position.
"Stop him!" Commander Iran shouted not because he was angry for being ignored; he shouted because the second prince of Armen Kingdom was standing just behind the Master Archer. No harm should come to him, or Iran can say bye to his position, reputation, and maybe even his life.
The master archer was an early stage Elemental Gathering Realm cultivator. He had no confidence in fighting the young man and defending the second prince at the same time, not after he saw Danny's abilities. Therefore, he immediately jumped to a branch of a tree near him and moved away from his original place.
"Protect the prince!"
Unfortunately, another royal guard unconsciously shouted to protect the second prince after seeing Danny coming in their direction. The face of the Master Archer, who was also the Royal guard's leader, immediately blackened upon hearing this.
"Prince?!" Danny heard the exclamation of the Early-stage Dantian Formation Realm Cultivator.
Danny immediately spotted a young man only older than him by a couple of years.. A dozen men with cultivation bases in the Early-stage Dantian Formation realm moved to protect him by forming a circle.
