Chapter 796 Erik's arrival (2)
"Hi," Erik said, keeping his cool. After a quick scan with the biological supercomputer, he determined these guys couldn't do much against him.
However, the clones didn't like that move at all.
"Take away those weapons if you don't want to die," June said. There was a glint in his eyes Erik had never seen.
June killed a lot of Thaids in the past, but he never showed that much bloodlust.
The guards must have not liked those words. They were getting angry as much as the clones.
"Who the fuck are you?" A guard asked.
"It's not something that a lowly guard like you should know."
The guards raised their weapons. It was clear they would not lower their weapons.
The tension was increasing visibly. A scuffle was going to break at any moment, and it would not end well for Liberty Watch's guards.
"What is happening?"
A silhouette appeared behind the guards, partially obscured by the cave's shadows.
The sun outside was unable to show his visage. However, everyone recognized that voice: Erik, the clones, the guards.
Then the silhouette became clear, the face of a young man appeared. He put his hand on one of the guards' shoulders and nodded at them to lower their weapons.
Erik had a huge grin on his face.
"Long time no see." Ethan smiled.
"Not that much," Erik said. Then the two hugged.
"How are you?"
"Eh... the travel was rough. I had to scale that damn mountain again."
Immediately, the guards and Ethan turned to look. The only mountain Erik could refer to was the Eldraith mountain range.
Their faces got ashen. If these men were able to pass safely thorough that infernal place, it meant they could have easily killed them.
"I'll bring you to Amos."
"Does he know I'm here?"
"I sent one of my men to announce you. There might be a little to wait, though. Sometime ago, someone saying he works for you came, and since he and his people did, the situation here became... tense."
Erik was intrigued and a little worried about Ethan's words.
"Tense? Why?"
"Well..." Ethan paused a second to find the right words to use.
"Initially, they asked us for a place to stay, but then they explained what was happening and why they came here. They said you had been accused of killing innocents. Of course, we all knew it couldn't be true."
"It isn't true, in fact."
"So, just to understand, are you confirming they work for you?"
"Is the guy who leads them called Noah?" Erik asked.
"Yeah."
"Then they do. But all of this doesn't explain the tense situation you were referring to."
"Yeah. Well, Amos agreed cooperating with them," Ethan said.
"They started hunting Thaids and securing the area around the cave. But then they started making proposals, telling this was going to be a great way to repay the favors you did to the village and stuff like that." Ethan turned to look at some building still under construction.
"They started building stuff, collecting ores. It's not like we don't need all that stuff, but things got complicated once they brought... him... here."
"Him?" Erik now was intrigued. Who could be the person Ethan was referring to?
"Becker."
"General Becker is here?" That too shocked Erik. He talked with Noah several times during his travel back to Liberty Watch's village, but he told nothing about the man.
"Yeah. That fucker is here. He told a lot of interesting stuff, but I guess Amos will be the one to explain the situation to you. In the meantime, if you could... uh... tell your people to be more respectful toward us... it would be... good."
Erik nodded. It was clear Noah and the other clones had created a lot of trouble for the villagers.
The last thing he wanted to do was for bad blood to sprout between them.
So he planned to make a long talk with Noah.
