'The Warlords?'
The mention of one of the three greatest factions in the world surprised Hex, but after some thought, it made sense.
'No wonder his strength seemed comparable to the Templar and the Paladin. And he didn't bother us for the Disaster crystal.'
Hex and Esmeralda killed one of the Disasters while Gronke dealt with two others. After they finished, Hex brazed himself to have a fallout with the boar-like man over their hard-won crystal. But Gronke didn't even spare a glance at them. He harvested his crystals and resumed munching on his snacks.
The soft murmurs around him centered around the sudden revelation by the Stellar Shield. The Warlords weren't as popular as the Paladins and the Templars but their status as their equal evoked a similar awe from the crowd.
