As they emerged from the canyon, a fertile wetland stretched out before their eyes. Unlike the barren Wastelands with their constant warfare and ruins everywhere, this place was like a hidden paradise with thatched cottages dotting the fields and people coming and going.Various distinctive buildings were arranged in orderly fashion across the flatlands. Even from a distance, they could see smoke rising from chimneys and Highland Tribe members working in the fields.Children ran and played on the main roads, their laughter echoing through the air, while armed warrior patrols marched past intersections carrying spears and shields woven from vines.The captured Highland tribesman looked pleading, but Andrew smiled and had Juno release him.The Highland warrior immediately bolted at full speed and disappeared in moments. Knox said urgently, "He's probably gone to alert the others."Andrew waved dismissively. "That's fine. We want him to gather the Highland Tribe together anyway. Kn

Andrew thrust out his chest and did not even strike back, taking the hit head-on.With a thunderous boom, the giant's attack dissipated while Andrew remained completely unharmed.Then, Andrew suddenly stepped forward twice and slammed his shoulder forward like a speeding tank in a brutal collision.The giant was sent flying backward, tumbling across the ground continuously until he finally came to a stop about 300 feet away.Dead silence fell over the scene. In front of the wooden hall, the sound of collective gasps filled the air as the giant struggled with a twisted expression, trying to get up. Yet, he ultimately just spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious on the ground.The surrounding warriors slowly grew hostile again. They gripped their weapons tightly and stared at Andrew with angry gazes.Knox said, "This is what Highland warriors are like. We never back down, and we never know fear. For our comrades, we would rather die than step back."Andrew said cold

Othniel gave a mocking smile and said, "So that is who it is. Turns out Knox finally came back. After running away for over ten years, you're still just as weak as ever. You survived back then by running for your life, abandoning the Highland Tribe and saving only yourself. So now that you are back, what right did you have to show your face? "As the chief's only son, you never once fought for the tribe and never contributed anything. When our young warriors were bleeding and sweating on the battlefield, where were you? And now you came back saying your friends meant no harm?"He scoffed and added, "Who the hell do you think you are? Do you even have any dignity left in the Highland Tribe? Do you even deserve to return to our tribe?" As soon as those words fell, one of Othniel's followers shouted, "He deserves nothing! He's a coward, and we should get the hell out!"Another person snorted coldly. "Get out? I say we skin him alive and wash away the shame he brought to our warriors.

Andrew's expression remained utterly calm as he casually tossed out, "Knox, I'll kill him for you."Then, he followed Othniel outside.Tobiah immediately panicked and rushed forward to stop Andrew. "Don't be rash! Originally, our tribe shouldn't have involved ourselves in outsiders' affairs. But since you came here with Knox, and he considers you a friend, I can't simply ignore this. You're all Knox's good friends, correct?"Andrew nodded. "Chief Wieser, don't worry…"Before he could finish, Tobiah barked, "Since you're all Knox's good friends, then don't meddle in this anymore! Take Knox and leave the Highland Tribe immediately, get as far away as possible, and never come back!"Knox was overwhelmed. "Father, I…"Tobiah roared, "Go! Do you want to see your friends and yourself die at Othniel's hands? Currently, the number of people supporting him in the tribe far exceeds those supporting me. Knox, don't come back anymore, and don't worry about your mother and me!"Our tribe is

Tobiah's graying long hair was whipped violently backward by the raging storm. He instinctively tightened his grip on Knox's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Knox… Andrew actually caught Othniel's blade head-on?"Knox also felt that Andrew was taking a huge risk, but after a brief hesitation, he chose to stay silent and watch what happened next. As the storm dispersed, blood dripped steadily from Andrew's left fist. Yet, there was a faint smile on his face.Othniel's heavy cavalry saber stopped just a finger's width from Andrew's forehead. That tiny distance became an absolute barrier, and the blade could not move forward any further.Othniel's eyes widened as shock surged through him, his heart pounding. He knew exactly how devastating that strike had been.After all, he was a martial god-level fighter, combining the Highland Tribe's supernatural strength with his own natural combat prowess. Any ordinary human who tried to match his raw power was asking for death.Yet Andrew,
