Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem-Chapter 579: Helping the Resistance

Hoh? Interest sparked in my eyes, and I wasn’t alone. A resistance created by the oppressed races in order to stand up against the tyranny of the lionkin, and they were in the middle of being attacked.

What a curious phenomenon, it might give us what we were looking for. But even if it doesn’t, third partying a battlefield was a safe way to farm XP, so I was eager to participate and finally reach level 30.

"Ghosty doesn’t like her…" Blossom murmured while eyeing the tied-up rabbit girl who was innocently looking around the eight of us, BunBun didn’t even realize she was the subject of Blossom’s statement.

On a side note, I had to give Vex mad props, my dog girl has not made a single slip of the tongue since the white-haired beauty gave her the nickname Ghosty. Back when she was called Ghost, Blossom kept trying to call herself by her real name. It seemed Ghosty stuck in her brain significantly better.

As for what her personal problem with the bunny might be, I was guessing it had to be the speech pattern. Both were speaking in the third person, thus far, it was one of Blossom’s unique traits which was now being threatened. Honestly, I found her being angry about this to be rather adorable.

However, she didn’t need to worry, for BunBun was a real smooth brain with a room temperature IQ number, or to put it simply, she was dumb as a rock. Blossom might’ve been a scatterbrain, but she was perfectly capable of logical thinking and her head was on the right shoulders.

This dumbass bunny made so many mistakes in the span of a few minutes I had trouble counting them.

One, she stopped running from us once she felt comfortable and didn’t even glance behind to check if her assumptions of her perceived safety were correct. Instead, she just started munching on her big carrot.

Second, she forgot to consider the duration of her [Sky Hopper] ability. Instead of hopping toward the ground once it was close to running out, she kept fleeing from me in a straight line, unable to realize that her spell was about to end. If I didn’t catch her, she would’ve died.

Third, speaking of plunging to her death, this dumbass thought she was a bird for a second based on her flailing her arms as if she had wings, and when that didn’t work, she proceeded to do her best to get out of my hold just to jump to the depths below.

There must’ve been more mistakes to count, but I digress. Blossom had nothing to worry about.

"We should probably get going if we want to have a chance at intervening in the ongoing battle." Lucille’s words awoke me from my analysis of how dumb BunBun was.

And just like that, we started following the bunny girl back to her home where this so-called resistance was housed.

According to the laws of the Beastman Confederation, tribes couldn’t make alliances unless the council voted on it. To that end, this must’ve been an unofficial underground resistance. The different beastkin races had to maintain the illusion of them not working together on the surface.

It was a bit strange considering the lionkin were openly hostile to their neighbors and thus broke the rules. To me, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if they openly rebelled and worked together to overthrow the lionkin, however, that was not the case.

Maybe the less prideful herbivores were ready to openly denounce the aggressors and ally with other beastkin races, but the other apex predators were way too proud to work together, as that would be akin to admitting their weakness and the superiority of the lionkin.

Conquering was the right of the strong. If the lionkin were strong enough to conquer them, then they were not in the wrong for taking land from them. At least so I assumed the thought process of most beastkin to be.

"Future hubby, can you call the fire boy? I’ll deal with Raika."

I nodded at Vex’s request. If I called Raika, that brat would likely not even pick it up, so this arrangement was for the best.

After imbuing Ignis’ crystal with my mana, the communication line was established.

As soon as he picked, up, I heard the unmistakable sound of combat. "What’s going on? I’m kinda busy over here." Ignis spoke up before casting a spell which resulted in multiple desperate cries sound from his enemies—they were being burned alive by the Ashbringer.

"We learned of an alliance base that supposedly houses a coalition made up of different tribes. We’re going there to help them out, the lionkin are attacking them as we speak according to our witness."

"I see…" Ignis replied before grunting, he just audibly fire-punched an enemy of his. "I mean, I could join you, but, well, I would be doing that alone."

It wasn’t hard to understand his meaning. He could disengage from the combat situation he was in, but that would mean leaving Ryker’s team to their deaths. Of course, neither of us cared much for them.

But…

"I say you continue what you’ve been doing, maybe you’ll find a different lead than us. This so-called resistance being overrun by the time we arrive is easily plausible. Your presence would be a waste then."

"Agreed."

And just like that, my discussion with Ignis ended. "No dice?" I asked Vex who was similarly concluded with her talk.

The white-haired beauty shook her head wryly, "She is busy fighting, who could’ve guessed."

After a brief discussion, we decided to go without the backup of our two elites.

The journey to the so-called resistance base was swift and eventless. It took about an hour of running at Aurora’s pace. Due to leveling up quite admirably ever since she unlocked the Enchanter class from the Geim-enhanced [Mystical Elixir of Awakening], she already had quite a high natural Agility stat to her name. Furthermore, due to my advice, she put a few extra points into it as well.

I saw BunBun fidget multiple times while leading the way, certainly debating making a run for it. However, the presence of eight pairs of eyes on her back combined with the fact that her friends were currently getting besieged made the girl behave properly.

"We’re here!" BunBun whispered scaredly while peeking out from behind a tree. We’ve left the lionkin lands and entered dogkin territory. The resistance was housed in an unassuming location, and the entrance to the underground tunnels was very well hidden.

The lionkin with their subpar sense of smell must’ve had difficulty finding it.

However, they did find it in the end, and that was all that mattered. The battle was already underway.

My eyes spied at least a thousand lionkin warriors. Each of them was tall and bulging with muscles. In the midst of this mass of warrior-beasts, the most imposing figures stood out.

These were the elite among them: larger, more heavily built lionkin, resembling the Sunborn Varkas Vex defeated previously.

They were not only formidable in physique but also in their gear. At long last, I saw first-hand what caused the equilibrium of the beastkin people to be broken, decisively putting the lionkin on top of the food chain.

Each of these large beasts was clad in well-crafted armor, no doubt the handiwork of the dwarf who willingly allied himself with lions.

There were about twenty such people among their ranks, letting me know we could not pull off a victory like we did last time. Vex struggled against three high-leveled lionkin, and they were not armed and armored like these twenty.

What was worse was that it was not just the twenty of them who were armed. They were the only ones wearing armor, but every lionkin had some sort of weapon in their arms, be they spears, swords, axes, or some just sported giant shields.
