A silver-grey giant sprang from the ground, its voice booming like a ringing bell, echoing as if a divine proclamation throughout the Red Cloud Mountain Range. This unique decree signaled to everyone in Red Cloud Mountain that their master had returned.
"I request all gentlemen of Xiling to halt the relief food distribution and convene at the main hall of the peak."
"All who follow my commands, from this moment forward, retreat to your residences and remain confined for three days as a warning to others!"
"Those who are not my followers, from today onwards will no longer enjoy the benefits of relief food distribution. Any who commit crimes, seize or steal will be executed without mercy!"
Mountains echoed back, valleys reverberated, as the divine-like instructions were repeated three times in full. Apart from the deaf, even the commoners deep in sleep could hear the unmistakable tone of authority in the commands.
