Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 1436: Chapter 997: Make way, let me do it!

“Who am I? You don’t recognize me? Who are you people?” The middle-aged man was naturally the Great Speaker, who asked with a frown.

Anthony’s heart stirred, and he slowly straightened his back, an action that immediately triggered a chain reaction. Negris and Durken exchanged a glance and subtly took a half step back, giving way to Anthony.

Ange quietly shrunk his body, his hands tucked away, holding Little Ghost in his grasp.

In front of Ange, Anthony was used to bowing his back. When he straightened up, it meant ‘move aside, let me handle this.’

When Anthony takes the initiative, it usually means he’s preparing to set someone up, so naturally everyone shrank back to give him space to work.

Anthony placed a hand on his chest in a gesture of respect and spoke up, “We are nothing but wretched refugees driven from our homes, and do not know who you are, sir. May I ask your name?”

“Pfft, driven out of your homes? Refugees? Fleeing to this place? Do you take me for a fool?” said the Great Speaker with displeased mockery.

Anthony appeared not to hear the underlying meaning, speaking in a calm and unhurried manner, “Where else could we flee to? There is no place for us in the entire Empire. The Godslayer has slaughtered those gods who refused to submit, and registered the ones who surrendered. We survivors had no choice but to flee into the boundless Void, eventually finding refuge here, not because we wanted to, but because we had no strength left to flee.”
