"However, if you refuse to hand over this extraordinary gem, it would be considered an act of betrayal and theft."
Rein recalled his experiences and earnestly advised, "You will become enemies of Black Pine Ridge, and the army will suppress you."
"By then, you will not only lose the gem but also everything you have now."
Kael translated Rein's words to all the Yak People word for word and added,
"Even the Lizardmen are not a match for the Lord, nor are the Yak People."
Kael solemnly reminded, "Rein's advice is correct."
"Will we really receive a reward?" Alse asked cautiously.
"I guarantee it with my honor, and Kael's ears."
Rein said seriously, "The Lord is very generous and will surely reward you."
"Moreover, if the gem stays with the Lord, it can be put to better use."
Alse hesitated for a moment and then turned to whisper with his people.
Their voices were low, but their inner conflict was palpable.
