It was only their first meeting, and yet, before anything was said, Alliance Leader Hasaar-li and his people already dropped to the ground to offer their worship.
Rainshine had never seen such humble people before.
At least give her a chance to intimidate them with the oppressive pressure of her bloodline aura or something.
They didn't need to be such pushovers, did they? – Rainshine tilted her head in wonder.
Meanwhile, Alliance Leader Hasaar-li felt Rainshine's curious gaze on him and pressed his head into the ground even further. He could sense her intelligence.
In fact, the eyes of every beast surrounding Hegemon Leonhardt all sparkled with intelligence. It was unfathomable that a human could gather such powerful and intelligent beasts.
Moreover, just by looking at the lineup, Alliance Leader Hasaar-li could tell Hegemon Leonhardt was the master of the beasts and not their friend or subordinate.
Why were such powerful and intelligent beasts willing to follow this human?
This wasn't a difficult question to answer, as Hegemon Leonhardt's unique aura was self-explanatory. He seemed to possess multiple extraordinary beast bloodlines and didn't seem human.
However, he was undoubtedly human due to his human bloodline harmonizing the various beast bloodlines in his body.
Altogether, the mixed auras gave Alliance Leader Hasaar-li the impression that he was looking at a supreme human overlord who had transcended the heavens. The person didn't seem like someone from their world.
Even the Battle God he met many years ago didn't have such an extraordinary aura.
Where on earth did such an impressive figure hail from?
Although Alliance Leader Hasaar-li couldn't guess Leon's origins, he believed Leon was a person who delivered on all his promises.
All his doubts and misgivings before his arrival disappeared without a trace. The desire to hope for a bright future turned them into blind worship instead. After all, such an impressive figure wouldn't need to lie to his people.
With the sheer power of his military force, Hegemon Leonhardt could easily dominate the Infertile Plains if he wished. He didn't need to resort to any trickeries and schemes at all.
However, reality proved otherwise.
Furthermore, they were much more accepting of this version than the one conjured in their imagination. They realized Hegemon Leonhardt didn't win everyone over with his strength but his noble character.
"Thank you, Hegemon Leonhardt. I must admit I am quite surprised. You are very different from how I imagined you to be," Alliance Leader Hasaar-li honestly admitted as Leon helped him up.
"Haha, it's too soon to be surprised, Alliance Leader Hasaar-li," Leon softly laughed before urging everyone inside the city with a gesture, "Please, after you."
Shortly after Alliance Leader Hasaar-li nodded and entered the city, the rest of the Northern Region's people followed him, thanking Leon greatly as they passed him.
At the same time, the other chiefs guided the Northern Region's people to unload their goods in an empty plot of land before inviting them to the feasting ground, which was slowly being filled with freshly cooked dishes of various.
The generous proportions and variety of meat and vegetables had many people drooling with rapacious hunger and grumbling stomachs.
They had never seen such a luxurious feast, even during their good days.
"This..."
Alliance Leader Hasaar-li turned to Chief Ironshield with questions, yet feeling apprehensive and embarrassed to ask.
However, Chief Ironshield understood his dilemma and laughed, "Hahaha, please instruct your people to help yourselves to the food provided, Alliance Leader Hasaar-li. This great feast was prepared for your Northern Region and no one else."
"You do not need to hold yourselves back. Just dig in," Chief Ironshield chuckled as he stroked his beard.
Alliance Leader Hasaar-li's eyes quickly reddened with tears. He felt emotional and unburdened. He had made very decisive choices, but no one knew the immense pressure backing them.
However, now, he could safely and proudly admit that following Chief Silvertooth to the Central Region had been the best and most correct choice he had ever made in his life.
"Alliance Leader Hasaar-li..." the northern tribe leaders uttered.
Alliance Leader Hasaar-li turned to them and nodded emotionally, "Un, our people are saved. We are in good hands now."
