Once everyone had gathered, Cao Xing spoke up, "Today, we are going to a far-off place. If something happens in the territory, we won't be able to return immediately."
"So, we need to leave a few strong members behind to guard our territory."
Cao Xing's gaze swept over everyone, and then rested on the Black Smoke Shaman.
"Blot, you stay."
Upon hearing this, Blot bowed with reverence and said, "Lord, while I would rather fight alongside you, if it is your command, I am willing to comply."
Cao Xing nodded.
He had decided to leave Blot behind after careful consideration.
As a powerful boss-level creature, and a Black Smoke Shaman at that, he was especially skilled at defensive battles where the few overcome the many.
