This group from Stanlo had finally arrived at the gates of Hope Village.
Seeing the familiar "guards" at the entrance, many eyes reddened once again.
Only upon seeing the Humans of this territory did they finally feel the dust settle.
And those Hope Village Residents who received the news and came out saw this very scene.
Yet, what flashed through everyone's eyes was pity.
Not for any other reason, but because these people looked utterly miserable.
Each one of them was skin and bones, their clothing in tatters, some skin showing visible whip scars... It was clear they had been terribly abused.
At this moment, this group also noticed the residents of Hope Village, and although they didn't look the same, they were surely all Humans.
One of them gathered the courage and said, "We've come from Stanlo; Hope Village exchanged us back."
Hearing this, the residents of Hope Village were quite surprised; one hesitantly voiced, "Stanlo Village? Isn't that in the Beastman Territory?"
