In a forest far from Xia Yu Village, Bor and his men gathered. He had also arranged for his trusted subordinates to patrol the area to prevent anyone from stumbling in and interrupting their secret meeting.
"Is it secure?"
"Besides the birds, no one can hear what we're saying."
As if on cue, a few strange birds tilted their heads, staring down at them from the treetops.
Bor picked up a stone and flung it forcefully. One of the strange birds' heads exploded on impact, its body plummeting from the branch.
"Heh heh," he sneered, a corner of his mouth twisting up.
Everyone had gathered, so Bor abandoned his plan to keep throwing stones at the strange birds. The others knew Bor's personality, so no one said a word.
"I've received word. That Baron Porcupine who declared war on us—his maternal grandfather is the Crocodile Baron of Linta Bay."
