Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1359

The earth shook, and the sound of footsteps reverberated from behind the massive stone.

When Darren released his god's sense, he detected that countless skeleton soldiers were on the other side of the enormous stone.

"Sir, what are those skeleton soldiers? Are they an Archean race?" Darren asked.

"No." The Primitive Emperor shook his head before continuing, "There was no such Archean race. I guess some master created them for war. They have been rotting for so long that I don't believe they will have much strength."

"Well, they do seem weaker than cultivators at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm. However, what they lack in terms of strength, they make up for in number." Darren agreed with a nod.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of them," replied the Primitive Emperor. Now that he had returned to his hometown, there was a continuous flow of Archean godly energy for him to control. Thus, it would not be hard for him to deal with all these skeletons.

"Hold on, sir." Surprisingly enough, Darren stopped him.

"What's wrong, Darren? If I don't kill them, you may be in danger, along with all the people outside. They may be killed or severely injured," the Primitive Emperor frowned as he asked. He couldn't fathom why Darren would stop him.

The expression on Darren's face darkened as he sent a piece of his memory to the Primitive Emperor. It showed him the incident that happened when Darren wanted to borrow elixirs.

"Humph!"

A snort escaped the Primitive Emperor when he learned the reason for Darren's annoyance.

"How could these people be so cold and shameless?"

It wouldn't have hurt those people to help out. On the contrary, assisting Darren would have been as easy as lifting a finger! But they chose to be silent and pretended to heal their wounds instead.

Since they turned a blind eye to his plight, Darren wasn't inclined to protect them.

"Let's go and see."

Darren and the Primitive Emperor flew to the other side of the stone. Since Finley and the others were still recovering, the Primitive Emperor released a streak of god's power to protect them.

On the other side of the stone, the skeletons were approaching the group of humans. While there were thousands of skeletons, there were only dozens of human talents.

The cultivators panicked. The last time they encountered a dangerous situation, there had only been a few hundred skeletons. At that time, they had tried to flee, and over ten cultivators had died. This time, they were faced with a significantly larger army of skeletons. Fear and horror reflected on their faces as they wondered how they would deal with the situation. Since there were over a thousand skeletons in this group, they knew that they would be challenged when resisting.

"What should we do?"

They huddled closer in the corner and whispered to one another.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Several skeletons suddenly rushed over, while the others stopped about a thousand feet away. They would be part of the second wave of attacks on these humans.

Soon, the skeletons changed direction and headed for Darren and the Primitive Emperor.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the Primitive Emperor waved his hand. The faint yellow god's power he released, cut through the skeletons and turned them into dust.

"Oh, my!"

"Who is he? He's so strong!"

"That is not our concern. All that matters is that he is human. He will save us!"

The young human talents were relieved when they witnessed the Primitive Emperor's capacity.

Eager to seek protection, they moved closer to Darren.

"Bro, who is this?"

the young man, who had helped Darren earlier, asked as he walked closer to them.

"A senior of mine," Darren replied. Since this young man had helped him, Darren was respectful toward him.

The young man didn't have time to think about why this middle-aged man was here. He cupped his hands toward Darren and then glanced at the Primitive Emperor, and said, "Sir, it is nice to meet you. Please help us with these skeletons. We would appreciate any assistance you can offer us!"

"Help you? No way," the Primitive Emperor declined. He then condensed a faint yellow barrier in front of him and Darren to protect them.

The young man was stunned. He couldn't believe that the Primitive Emperor would refuse so straightforwardly.

"Buddy, come stand with us." Darren invited the young man to join them behind the barrier.

The young man took a few steps forward and passed through the shield without any hindrance.

"Well... Sir, aren't you going to help the others?" the young man asked. A mixture of curiosity, astonishment, and terror reflected in his expression.

"Ha-ha." Darren burst into laughter before saying, "You saw how they treated my friends and me. Do you feel that I should help them now? I don't think so."
