Behind him, over nine hundred Hill Giants let out wave after wave of joyful roars. The deafening sound echoed through the ring-shaped valley, lingering endlessly in the air.
Raylo, riding Lightning, slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Kado.
"Are you satisfied, Kado?"
"Very satisfied! My Lord, you've found the best home for us!" Kado turned to Raylo and pressed his right fist against his chest in an ancient, solemn gesture. "The Hill Giant Race will forever remember your kindness."
"We are allies," Raylo said with a faint smile. "This place is also a part of the Black Stone Territory."
To some extent, this was an expansion of the Black Stone Territory's borders. With these Hill Giants settling here, a vast region in the central Black Stone Mountain Range had been brought under Raylo's control.
He didn't say much else and simply clapped his hands. "Coal Ball!"
"ROAR!"
