Shang and the barbarians frowned. None of them liked the idea of warriors being fed to beasts.
'As sad as I am to say it, it makes sense. Beasts need to eat beasts or humans to become more powerful, and humans can become more powerful by simply training, eating medicine, or meditating.'
'To the Blackshadow Kingdom, normal humans might as well be herbivores, which are fed to the useful carnivores.'
"How powerful are these Summoners?" Shang asked.
"They are not that powerful," one of the barbarians said.
"Not that powerful?" Shang asked with a lifted brow. "But they can control several beasts, right? That sounds about as powerful as a Mage."
The barbarian shook his head. "The beasts Summoners control are much weaker than wild beasts."
"How so?" Shang asked.
"We don't exactly know," the barbarian said. "We think that the normal beasts are probably too powerful."
"In what sense are they more powerful?" Shang asked.
