Sword God in a World of Magic

All the barbarians gathered in front of the camp as soon as the sun came up, and Shang also quickly joined them.

Lash and the other barbarians that had come to him earlier stood close to him, showing their allegiance.

Even though the barbarians all stood in front of the camp, there were three distinct camps.

The biggest one wore no collars and surrounded the tall barbarian from the camp. There were about a hundred barbarians in that camp.

The second camp was only comprised of barbarians with collars, and that camp consisted of about 25 barbarians.

The last one was Shang's camp. There were two barbarians with collars, including himself, and five barbarians without collars. They were only seven.

The collared barbarians didn't heed Shang's camp any mind, but the bigger group of barbarians looked with narrowed eyes at Lash and Shang. They saw that Lash stood respectfully beside Shang, which meant that he was Lash's Leader.

However, they had never seen Shang do anything to show his power. On the first day of the criminals' arrival, Shang had only walked away, not showing his power or dominance.

To barbarians, if one had the power, one would show it. It was only natural to show that one was the strongest.

The fact that Shang didn't show his power made them mistrustful.

Shang didn't heed the barbarians any mind.

Their opinions were irrelevant.

The fact that the barbarians created different Tribes inside the military camp was already idiotic and childish to Shang.

Why would one want to establish themselves as the Leader while being confined in a cage?

Leader or not, when the Mages gave an order, everyone followed.

The Leader had no power, just like all the other barbarians.

After a couple of minutes, the commander over the camp arrived with her typical, cold expression. Behind her were two True Mages.

The commander was the strongest human for kilometers around since she was an Early True Mage.

Right now, Shang was rather sure that he would lose if he were to fight her.

This was the power he had to overcome if he wanted to regain his freedom.

And, for now, Shang wasn't powerful enough.

The commander looked at all the gathered barbarians for a while.

"The five strongest, step forward," she commanded.

The barbarians all looked at each other.

And more than five barbarians stepped forward.

From the biggest group, the Leader and three other barbarians stepped forward.

From the other camp, two stepped forward.

And from Shang's group, Shang and Lash stepped forward.
