The Everwake also sneered.
As a seasoned Commander of city-state wars, Aiden Atwood had seen his fair share. His composure soon returned.
He looked at them, all traces of his initial wariness, defensiveness, and murderous intent gone. He spoke politely, "So, you've all crossed the Triangle Sea, and our Otterhaven City-State is the first place you've reached?"
Behind him, Riley Atwood stared at his Commander, his face a mask of confusion. He didn't understand why Aiden was being so polite to a group of Savage Beastmen.
According to the rumors in the Beastman City-states, the other side of the Triangle Sea was a land cordoned off by the Beast God. It was home to a group of beastmen who ate raw meat and drank blood, who couldn't find enough food to eat or clothes to keep warm, and who couldn't even read the city-states' script.
In the eyes of the city-state beastmen, those from Norfell were no different from Wild Beasts—they were savage brutes!
