The beast horde caught the attention of the members of the Larken Clan while walking for the streets of Larken City.

Fortunately, no one dared to attack after seeing that Yale was also with the beast horde. Most of the people didn’t know Yale, but he was a human, so everyone thought that he had enslaved those beasts since they didn’t attack Yale.

Wyba had the looks of a half-beast at that moment, and although it was also possible for a half-beast to have beast slaves, it was difficult to say how much those people of the Larken Clan would trust into a half-beast.

There was no discrimination against half-beasts in the Revgen Empire, but the half-beasts were a minority, so most people didn’t trust them as much as they trust fellow humans.

However, despite being a minority, the half-beasts had the same status as the humans in the Revgen Empire, so no one dared to hunt or enslave half-beasts without reason as it happened in the Zuatania Republic.

Yale was in a hurry to help Ange, but he thought that he should first settle the matters regarding the beast horde. In any case, Yale didn’t believe that Lashar would be able to help, so Revgen was the only choice, and he doubted that he would be able to see Revgen immediately without Lashar’s help.

Lashar wouldn’t be able to help Yale until the people from Nacesai City and the beast horde had their places to reside, so it was impossible for Yale to help Ange before the beast horde reached the designated area.

Helping the beast horde to reach their new residence place without provoking any problem was also a way to be able to help Ange earlier.

Half an hour later, the beast horde reached their destination. That area was as a miniature forest usually used for practical training in forest environments, but at that moment, it had been closed to let the beast horde reside inside the area.

The area was very similar to the one they had lived before, so even though it was smaller in total area, the wolves would be able to live there well.

“You shall reside inside here from now on.”

After Yale said those words, Wyba also decided to speak because that was her beast horde and she didn’t want to rely upon Yale to manage the beast horde in her behalf.

“Good job! I will call you again when I need you.”

Wyba patted the leader of the wolves, and the later liked it a lot. More than fearsome Elder Rank Frost Wolf, it seemed a normal dog that was happy for having been praised by its master.

“We will do anything our goddess ordered us.”

The wolf leader and the rest of the pack were extremely respectful with Wyba; they truly adored her like a goddess and were even ready to die for her at any moment.

Seeing how those wolves acted in front of Wyba’s words, Yale was very pleased and decided to try to praise them a bit.

“You have all behaved very well in the journey towards here. I don’t know what would have happened if you dared to attack the people in Larken City.”

It was truly admirable that they didn’t show any hostility towards the Larken Clan members. Yale had been really worried that a conflict happened between the Larken Clan members and the beast horde.

“Showing hostility towards them would have offended our Demon Lord, so we don’t dare to show any hostility towards the people of this city.”

The wolf leader spoke after hearing Yale’s praise. He would have appeared to be a serious leader speaking about his responsibilities if he wasn’t acting like a dog at that moment due to having been patted on his head by Wyba.

Yale had never heard of a Demon Lord outside the books he had read when he was young, but he could believe that an expert with that nickname existed and that those wolfs feared that existence.

After all, they had lived in the mountains of the Revgen Empire, the empire of the experts; it wasn’t that weird that an expert also lived in those mountains and had ordered them to avoid harming people of the noble clans as long they didn’t have any reason to do it.

After all, even without a divine beast bloodline, it wasn’t that difficult to make a beast obey some orders as long as the one giving orders to the beast was powerful enough. In the world of beasts, the strongest ruled, so it was normal that the wolves had chosen to obey someone who was far more powerful than their leader.

“Who is the Demon Lord?”

Yale wasn’t sure if the wolf would reply to his question or not, but there was no harm to try to ask. After all, an expert who dared to use the name Demon Lord should be very powerful and seeing that a huge war against the True Empire was near to start, it would be great recruiting such an expert.

The wolf leader was shocked by Yale’s question, but he didn’t hesitate in answering him.

“Only someone as dreadful and powerful as you, the big brother of our goddess, is worthy of being called our Demon Lord.”

That time, the one who was shocked was Yale.

“Since when I am a Demon Lord?”

Yale somehow managed to avoid saying those words in a loud voice and only said them in his mind.

“That aura and killing intent Demon Lord showed to us in the previous battle was impressive. You are without any doubt the Demon Lord of all wolves.”

The wolf leader was also very respectful towards Yale, but there was a clear trace of fear in his voice, like if he thought that the Demon Lord was testing him with that question.

Part of the reason for such fear was the killing intent and the bloodline Yale had used previously, but there was another factor that even the wolves weren’t aware.

The beasts usually had better instincts than the ones owned by humans, so they unconsciously felt that Yale was the most unfathomable person they had met in their lives.

That was the effect of Yale being a reincarnated expert plus the fact he had some divine bloodlines and Condensed Essences.

In the end, those wolves were loyal to both Wyba and Yale, but the reasons they had were completely different.

Those wolfs didn’t want to go against Wyba’s orders because they worshiped her as their goddess. On the other hand, they didn’t dare to make Yale angry by disobeying him or acting in any way that could anger him.

Yale was truly speechless in that situation; he could understand that Wyba was called a goddess by those wolfs, but he never expected to be considered as a Demon Lord by them. Of course, for those wolves, a Demon Lord was great existence and not something evil that they wanted to defeat like usually happened in the books Yale had read.

“Demon Lord. I like how it sounds. That is right; I am your Demon Lord! I will let my gentle little sister be in charge of you, but if something happens to her…”

Yale decided to use that identity to increase his control towards those beasts, so he smiled when finishing his sentence.

In a normal situation that would have been considered a warm smile, but for those wolfs it was a completely devilish smile. Their instincts told them that if Wyba were to suffer, their fate would be worse than death.

“Big bro, don’t be mean with my pets, they are all good behaved. Raise your right paw if you are a good guy or a good girl!”

When Wyba said that all the wolves raised their right paws, the leader included.

At that moment, Yale wanted to laugh because Wyba had completely tamed those wolves; they were indeed Wyba’s pets.

“We are honored that our goddess considers us her pets and not just disposable pawns. However, even if our goddess wants to use us as pawns, please do it, we will throw our lives for the sake of our goddess.”

Yale felt really amusing hearing someone speak those words. Of course, it was only because he could understand the wolf language and beasts aren’t like humans who would never consider saying those words willingly.

Yale really wondered if the effects of a divine beast were that high or great part of that devotion was Wyba’s natural cuteness.

“Wyba, let’s go. We still need to save Ange. Some members of the Larken Clan will be in charge of feeding your pets.”

Wyba nodded, and before Yale could say anything else, she jumped on Yale’s back.

“Today you seem determined to avoid walking. Very well, it has been a long time since I carried you on my back. However, I plan to run, so be careful.”
