At Evangeline’s words, the males’ expressions changed instantly.

"Eva, are you looking down on us?!" Thorne’s brow twitched violently. Although they weren’t as powerful as Eva, it was humiliating to hear their own female talk about "protecting them"!

The Everwake also raised an eyebrow, huffing lightly. "I, for one, would like to see what these so-called city-states are all about."

In contrast, Danton and Loras didn’t say much, but a sharp glint filled their eyes as well.

Drake was the most rational of the group. His gold-and-crimson pupils were piercing, yet his tone was perfectly calm. "First, let’s figure out the rules on this Beastman Continent. We shouldn’t rush into any conflicts. Of course, if someone comes looking for a fight, we’ll act without hesitation."

Each of the males had their own thoughts, and Evangeline was happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

She wasn’t afraid. Across the entire Beastman Continent, whether in the civilization of The Wildlands or the city-states, the only one who could truly make her wary was the Beast God. The first thing she needed to confirm was whether Cassian Zane was truly the Beast God she suspected him to be.

As for everyone else, she didn’t pay them any mind.

Bringing her Beast Husbands to this New Continent was, for one, a matter of necessity. For another, her mission was nearing its end, and she wanted to have a wonderful "vacation" with these males. After all, a vacation was an excellent way to deepen their bond.

Soon, the commotion from the airship attracted the attention of the Beastmen working on the docks.

They were dressed in tattered beast skins that barely covered the essential parts, and they were busy carrying basket after basket of seafood.

Perhaps from working by the sea year-round, their skin was sunburnt and dark, and their lips were chapped and cracked.

When they heard the roar of the airship, they all stopped in their tracks, staring dumbfounded as it soared through the air. Some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief. After all, Otterhaven City-State had never seen such a flying vessel. ’Could it be from another Great City-State? But we’ve never heard of anything like it!’

"Go! Go report to the Commander!" a Beastman who seemed to be the leader shoved the one next to him. He watched with a grim expression as the airship gradually approached Otterhaven City-State, his voice low. "I’m afraid we’re in for trouble."

It was currently the time for the Beastman City-states’ annual grand event—the "Sharp Teeth Judgment." ’We’ve probably been targeted by a powerful city-state. They must be here to plunder, or even to conquer us!’

Riley Atwood felt a sense of unease. Seeing the airship drawing near, he could only brace himself and step forward.

The airship slowly came to a halt. Whether they were Beastmen from the Grymdale Tribe or the Fallen Beastmen, everyone fell silent. All eyes turned to Evangeline. They had no idea whether they should be happy or excited now that they had reached the other shore.

But they knew one thing for sure: seeing the Beastmen of the New Continent approaching them made them nervous, their nerves stretched taut.

In the Beastman World, traveling from one continent to another was tantamount to invading another’s territory. A fierce war could break out at the slightest disagreement, which was not good news.

Especially when they saw the gleaming Eight-star pattern on the approaching Beastman’s forehead, the Beastmen on the ship fell deathly silent.

’An Eight-Marked Beastman! Back in Norfell, that’s a Beastman of top-tier strength!’

"Which city-state are you all from? Are you here for the ’Sharp Teeth Judgment’? Please wait a moment, our Commander will be here shortly!" Riley Atwood shouted, his voice raised, as he stared at the behemoth before him and swallowed hard.

"Sharp Teeth Judgment? What’s that?" Thorne narrowed his eyes with interest, a flicker of excitement in his dark green, slitted pupils.

"Whatever it is, we’re here now. Let’s go down and take a look. We have to settle down here eventually," The Everwake said, lightly bouncing Genesis in his arms. His eyes flashed as he glanced at the Eight-star pattern on Riley Atwood’s forehead.

’This New Continent is truly extraordinary. Even a lowly guard warrior has the strength of an Eight-Star Pattern. What level must this Commander he mentioned be? Could there really be experts here who have surpassed the Nine-star Extreme Realm?’

This question lingered in The Everwake’s mind. Despite his usual arrogance, he couldn’t help but become vigilant.

Evangeline was the first to walk down the airship’s ramp.

Hearing the sound, Riley Atwood couldn’t contain his curiosity and secretly glanced up.

The sight left him stunned.

He had never seen such a beautiful female. Her skin was whiter than the city-state’s snow, her lips redder than gemstones. She was also a female carrying a cub, and the Beast Spirit Flower on her forehead was dazzling.

She was also wearing soft Beast Skin Clothes of an unidentifiable material.

’This ship must be from a Great City-State!’

’And this female before me must be the mate of a Commander from a Great City-State!’

’What a pity.’

Riley Atwood sneaked another glance at Evangeline and thought to himself with a sigh.

After Evangeline disembarked, Riley Atwood didn’t even spare her another glance. Instead, he looked behind her, his gaze falling upon Thorne, who was following closely. He looked him up and down, a suspicious expression crossing his face. ’An Eight-Marked male?’

’Could this be the Commander of the Great City-State? How is that possible?’

However, although this male’s strength seemed a bit lacking, his aura was in no way inferior to their own Commander’s.

For a moment, Riley Atwood was unsure. But just in case, he humbled himself, bypassed Evangeline, and trotted over to Thorne. He asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you the City-State Commander?"

Thorne raised an eyebrow, glanced at Evangeline, and ignored Riley Atwood completely, striding to Evangeline’s side.

Riley Atwood froze. He turned to look at Thorne fawning over Evangeline, and his lips twitched. His expression grew even more suspicious. ’Even if this female is beautiful, it shouldn’t be enough to make a Commander act so subserviently, right? Did I guess wrong?’

Suddenly, he felt a savage gaze on him and couldn’t help but shudder.

When he looked over, he was met by a pair of eyes as brilliant as a rainbow.

Riley Atwood swallowed hard, and his eyes suddenly lit up. ’I really did guess wrong. This one must be the Commander!’

’He has no Star Pattern on his forehead! He must be a bloodline awakener who has broken through the Nine-star Extreme Realm!’

"Sir!" Riley Atwood breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully to The Everwake.

"Hmph." The Everwake snorted coldly, walking past Riley Atwood with Genesis in his arms.

Riley Atwood was completely bewildered. When he turned his head, he sucked in a sharp breath, unable to believe what he was seeing.

The "Commander" he had just identified, along with the previous "Commander," were both gathered around the female, speaking to her gently and attentively in low voices. Riley Atwood’s eyes went wide. He reached up and rubbed them. ’Am I seeing things?’

’Two males who look like Commanders, both fawning over a single female??’

’Heh heh heh, is there a shortage of females in the Beastman City-states? So much so that two Commanders have to fight over one?’

Riley Atwood’s mouth twitched. A moment later, one outstanding male after another walked past him. Although they were all at the Nine-star Extreme Realm and had not yet broken through their bloodline shackles, they were so young that it spoke volumes about their boundless future potential.

He was utterly speechless. ’This must be an airship from a Great City-State!’

The only thing Riley Atwood couldn’t understand was why so many males were all so concerned about the same female. ’Is this normal?’
