On the Beast Sovereign's battlefield…
The fighting remained fierce.
Realizing how determined the Beast Sovereign was to kill the Thundari Patriarch, every intelligent fighter was doing everything possible to protect him.
The Stoneborn Patriarch was especially troublesome. He kept throwing up one defense after another, preventing even the Beast Sovereign from killing the Thundari Patriarch after all this time.
The Beast Sovereign was growing anxious.
If it couldn't kill the Thundari Patriarch soon, it would lose its chance once the other two Patriarchs arrived.
The beast races were still far weaker overall. Once the rest of the enemy reinforcements showed up, forget revenge—the Beast Sovereign might not even be able to escape.
It had to kill the Thundari Patriarch, the enemy's strongest attacker, before the other two arrived. Only then would the beast races have a chance in the battle to come.
