Seeing that Ethan didn't press the issue or try to force anything, Balthazar, the Chieftain of the Behemoths, was momentarily surprised. Then he chuckled and shook his head. "Still, if those Dungeon bastards really do come knocking, we can always join forces."
"That works too…"
Ethan smiled, then stood up. "Well, in that case, Chieftain Balthazar, I won't take up any more of your time. I'll be on my way."
Sure, he was a little disappointed that he hadn't managed to win over the Behemoth faction, but what could he do?
Some things just can't be forced.
Besides, we're talking about over fifty Legendary Behemoths and Mythic-tier Ancient Behemoths. That's a massive force—one that even in the old single-player version of the game would've been impossible to recruit with just a few words.
And this wasn't a game anymore. This was the real world of Glory Lords X.
Honestly, Ethan had already braced himself for the possibility of rejection. So it didn't hit him too hard.
