"Lord Gu Di, we'll be taking our leave then!"
"Of course, of course! Take care!"
As Lin Kong's farewell faded, Gu Di stepped out of the Teleportation Gate in a daze and walked back to his Lord's Mansion.
The observers sent by the other lords wore the same dazed expression.
The Withered Messengers had teleported directly into the enemy's mountain strongholds, then sent the Beastmen scattering in terror.
At the same time, each Scarecrow unleashed a powerful, wide-area attack. All life and matter near them would gradually decay and rot, eventually withering into lifeless husks.
After turning the last mountain fortress into ruins, the Withered Messengers latched onto the fear in the observers' hearts and teleported directly back to the first fortress.
This combination of ultra-long-range teleportation, wide-area attacks, and the ability to instill fear had terrified all the observers.
