A day later, a scout team rode back to Makala on the Wheat Whirlwind, bringing with them the battle report from Huiyue.
The situation there was pretty much as Heine had expected.
After he released the War God's Will, everything had descended into chaos outside.
Even though the greedy big wolf-dog wouldn't eat dirty things—a reluctance to go after undead creatures such as contaminated spirits—it didn't stop it from taking a keen interest in ones like Talos that had orc origins in their undead bodies.
Even if it was undead.
This made Heine think of his childhood in the countryside when he tried to feed wild vegetables to a dog, which refused to eat them. In frustration, he mixed in a stolen egg from the chicken coop into the wild vegetables and the dog licked its bowl clean.
To have a taste of something good, it seems one has to endure anything.
