Aherle gathered the treasures and captives, dividing the grains and valuables first. Then he took a closer look at the captives and pulled over the most beautiful woman to hold in his arms. Seeing her trembling, he laughed heartily and said,
"Indeed, the beauty of living women is unmatched."
The tribesmen around him burst into laughter, and Aherle joined in, murmuring hatefully,
"If it weren't for Ganixi, that ravenous wolf moving east, how could we have ended up like this? Damn it, my Ahe tribe's camp of three thousand people, completely destroyed by his hand."
At the mention of Ganixi, the laughter among the tribesmen stopped; their painted faces filled with fear and hatred. One of them whispered,
"People from the south say Ganixi was born to unite the Shanyue in the North Foothills as the wolf king..."
"Old man, I also heard that he is the progeny of a human and a wolf! Cruel like a wolf, sly like a fox, advancing east under the command of our ancestors..."
