Chapter 50: Exposing the Truth about the Merchant Guild!

"See what you mean, there's really no way to talk about this?"

  Herald asked, not even you, Herald has not even lazy to do the surface work, the tone has become very hard, the attitude change is very obvious.

  "No deal!"

  Carlos affirmed, very resolute without wavering in the slightest, and without any change in Sheridan's shift in mood.

  "Since there's nothing to talk about, I won't waste any more words, let's go."

  Sheard turned and walked away, and the two men who came in with him followed."

  Carlos didn't stop them, just left, Carlos didn't think to keep them from the start, it would be easy to spook them!

  "Priest-sama, I must say that you've gone a bit too far, they're just a group of merchants chasing profit, it's very unethical of you to harshly criticize a merchant group like this without any bottom line for your own interests!"

  Elenster said with some derision.

  "You wouldn't feel that way if you knew what they all do in the center!"

  Carlos said flatly, now that the human mercenaries had gone out, Carlos was going to tell Elenst about the men.

  "What can the Merchant Marine do?

  They are just doing some business, maybe the price will be raised a bit higher, but after traveling so far over and working so hard, there is no excuse for being more expensive!

  Even that's not a lot of money to earn!"

  Erlangist was rather looking out for them, it seemed that this merchant group was a hard working and diligent positive image in his eyes yet!

  "Business indeed, but not proper business, but slave-trading!

  The price is really expensive, an orc slave sold to human society at least a few thousand magic crystals from, this is only as a labor orc race, those beautiful swan girl, fox girl, these prices are higher, tens of thousands of magic crystals is only the beginning, after the auction can reach more than 100,000, or even hundreds of thousands!

  So that, and you still think they make less, isn't that enough how much?"

  Carlos said indignantly!

  "What are you talking about, Priest-sama!

  What's all this about, why can't I understand it!"

  Erlangist was confused and couldn't understand what Carlos was saying.

  "Let me do the talking."

  Hylia stepped out of the cubicle to explain to Elenst about the true nature of that merchant group.

  Hylia then gave Eranster a general account of being deceived by this so-called merchant group, and also how Carlos had gotten them back.

  "Asshole!

  Outrageous!

  These humans turned out to be in this kind of business!

  I can't believe I've been condoning their underhanded behavior all this time!"

  Eranster was unusually angry after hearing this, his beard couldn't stop twitching because he had simply become an accomplice to these humans, and when he thought of those fellow orcs who were sold into human society because of these humans, Eranster couldn't help but feel deeply remorseful.

  "There's no need to blame yourself too much, the humans are indeed too treacherous and cunning, they even purposely sent something to you, specifically as a gesture of goodwill, used to paralyze you and cause you to let down your guard, in order to have a mind to count on you, there's no way it will be like this, and it can be remedied from now on!"

  Carlos patted Erlangist on the back, then soothed.

  "It's all my fault, if I had been able to keep a strict guard at the beginning and not let them pass, none of this would have happened, and Miss Hylia wouldn't have been in danger because of it, it's all my fault!"

  Eranster still couldn't forgive himself easily; the old man had an obstinacy that Carlos could hardly understand, and a great sense of duty!

  "You don't have to feel that way, you were unaware of the situation for that to happen, I don't blame you."

  Shelia also spoke out in comfort.

  "And we don't blame you!"

  Hoffman, Avril, and those of the Bell Bears and the Robert Rabbits at this time they all came forward to show their attitude.

  "You came back because you were lucky, but there are still an unknown number of fellow Orcs who have been sold into human society!"

  Erlangist was so angry he couldn't hold his cane, and looked like he was pounding his chest, the guilt inside him magnifying his sin indefinitely.

  "No matter how much you blame yourself, those who have been sold will not be able to regain their freedom because of your blaming yourself, the most important thing you should do now is to organize those hateful human beings to continue to do those things, those who have been sold can no longer be recovered but they still have their families, you don't want them to be reunited again one day in the cage where human beings keep their slaves, do you. "

  "Protect the ones that are still around, that's the best way to compensate for those who were sold out!"

  Carlos's voice was like a morning bell snapping Erlangist out of a fit of self-loathing!

  "Yes, I can't give up on myself, I'm going to make those wretched humans pay!"

  Eranster said viciously, vigorous magical energy emanated directly from Eranster's body, and the green gem on his cane shifted and flickered with a faint shimmering light of blue and yellow, highlighting Eranster's current impatient and angry mood.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  "Fortunately, the roads in the rest of the Northern Plains are very narrow, and there aren't many paths for them to choose from if they want to go,, and it's either a dense forest or a place where all kinds of magical beasts swarm, so they won't be able to take these paths if they want to take the wagon with them!"

  "So there are probably two possibilities for them now, one is to go straight across the Northern Plains the way they were before in a dignified manner, and the other is to wait for dawn, when you will be resting and they will wait for an opportunity to leave!

  I'm guessing it's a little more likely that they'll wait in place all night, and it certainly wouldn't occur to Sheridan that we'd target them so directly!"

  Carlos said.

  "I know where their makeshift camp is, we're going to wipe them all out now!"

  Erlangist said with a murderous voice.

  "How many of them are there?

  Any heavy weapons?"

  Carlos was more cautious   as opposed to Erlangist's impulsiveness, and at least knew to keep an eye out for these things.

  "The number of people is more than fifty, everyone has a bow and crossbow, as for whether there are any heavy weapons, when I went there was not seen, if there is then it must be on the wagon, but I don't think it should be there, it is too dangerous to pull that kind of thing to go to the middle of the country, in case of discovery surely can't get out of the country, those people in the Imperial Defense Section are not vegetarian!"

  Eranster, after all, did not lose his mind with anger and said methodically.

  "Imperial Defense Section?

  What's that?"

  Carlos wondered.

  "Don't you have a friend who serves in the Empire's border defense fortification department?

  The Imperial Defense Section is similar to that, sort of the same type of establishment, don't you know?"

  Erlangist said.

  That friend before was something Carlos said casually to press the price, where he knew any friends who served in the border defense fortification department, and now that he said it Carlos was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"Most of the border defense fortifications are manned by the Maimans Mammoths and their vassal races, most of the Imperial Defense Section is manned by the Lebenspanthers and their vassal races, and the Dogo Dogheads are the basic police force within, guarding the chokepoints of the various cities, and their keen noses can sniff out most any potential danger!"

  Shelia explained.

  "Oh, so that's it."

  Carlos echoed.

  "In that case, all the better, let's go straight to the camp where they're stationed and finish them off, this shady deal is long overdue to be uprooted!"

  Carlos said.

  "We can't let them go this time, we have to make sure we get them all, all of us, Elenster you get more warriors from the clan too, together we'll go and surround them, we can't let any of them get away!"

  Carlos was naturally giving orders, as if he already considered himself a leader.

  "Alright, I'll gather the clan!"

  Eranster didn't resent it, for one thing, Carlos himself was strong enough, but because of Carlos's honored status as a priest, the status of a priest in the orc empire was very high, so Eranster could accept being commanded by Carlos.

  Under the unified leadership of Carlos, all were ready to run towards the human camp.

  Elenster called up a multitude of common Mys rat people, and the battle began with the Robert Rabbits, with their help, circling around the back of the human camp through holes in the ground that had been made to ambush and block the humans to prevent them from escaping, and this group was led by Averill.

  There were also dozens of heavily-armed Shuo Rats warriors, who also brought shields and spears to arm the Bell Bears, and a frontal close attack would be theirs to make.

  While Carlos and Eranster as magicians used their magic skills to assist in close attacks, Hylia's hymns could increase the attributes of the orc warriors, Hylia also had hymns that could enhance the warriors' speed and strength, only the effects were not as strong as those of the War Rituals and Order Sacrifices, but something was better than nothing, and the warriors' strength was as high as they were, and their speed was higher, and the dangers they suffered could be a little bit smaller.

  "Isn't this formation a bit too big to use against those humans, I have a feeling that dozens of human mercenaries might not need to go to such great lengths!"

  Carlos had some self-doubt.

  "It's better to be on the safe side, if there are any more leaks, there'll be more humans coming next time!"

  Shelia said.

  "Well, to be fair."

  Carlos said with a nod.

  Led by Elenster, Carlos and his group quickly approached the camp of that human merchant group.

  The fires in the camp were still dancing and flickering, and it seemed they hadn't expected Carlos to attack them directly tonight!

  Carlos determined the extent of the camp, then the Mythic Rattlers began to make holes to dig to the back of the camp, the Robert Rabbits followed with their bows and arrows, making holes was a talent of the Mythic Rattlers, and the soil of the Northern Plains was also relatively loose, making holes easy to make, and the Mythic Rattlers were fast.

  After fighting their way through and being set up, Avril sent someone to run back from the cave to tell Carlos that everything was ready, and then Carlos gave the order for the warriors to start feeling their way towards the camp, thundering out once they were in effective striking range!

  Each man was equipped with a shield and two spears, and upon entering the range, all the warriors threw the spears in their hands in unison when Carlos gave the order, and then drew a second spear from their backs to charge!

  Carlos and the others were approaching the camp very slowly to make sure they didn't alert the humans.

  Meanwhile, inside the camp, there was a bunch of people sitting around the fire, who had just returned from Carlos not long ago.

  "Captain Sheridan, why do you think that priest has that attitude, we haven't offended him before, so why is he giving us such a hard time?"

  Taberman said.

  "In my opinion, that priest is just stingy, just want to save the magic crystal stone, maybe he is still a poor man, was ostracized to come to the North Plains, who can mix to the order priests who are sick in the head to come to the North Plains?

  Must have run away because he couldn't stay in the center anymore!"

  said another man, one of the other men who had followed Sheridan and Tubman in, and had been involved in the whole process of negotiation.

  "I don't think so, if we were ostracized and forced to come to the North Plains, Eranster shouldn't have that kind of attitude, and even if Eranster gave us a good word, the priest was indifferent and didn't care about Eranster at all, and Eranster didn't have the anger of being belittled, as if this was a matter of course, I don't think that the priest was simple!"

  Taberman said.

  "Nettle thought, Eranster has never been a good old boy face either, have you ever seen him red in the face with anyone?

  He's always had a good temper, that's why he doesn't get angry with that sacrifice... Eranster is a Fiery Sun Magician, it's not too easy to kill that sacrifice, he's the one who doesn't put him in his sights, that's why he's not angry."

  "Orc priests, are a bunch of over-ambitious trash, unprotected, weak as a bug, just anyone can easily get killed!

  Even a trainee knight can easily take out a high-ranking orc priest, they simply don't have the combat power that an orc should have, you don't even know how much I wanted to take out that priest just now, I really wanted to shove my crossbow into his mouth and fire a dozen rounds in a row to smash his throat into a sieve!"

  The man continued.

  "Hahahahaha!"

  The crowd around the fire laughed uproariously at this, supposedly agreeing with the man's words.

  "I've been in contact with Eranster for so long, that's probably what his temper is like, it's never warm and fuzzy, but I've always felt that that sacrifice wasn't simple, and just now Eranster said that there were nobles inside!

  If it's ostracized how can a nobleman follow!

  And I see that Eranster's tone of voice is worried, suggesting that this is no ordinary noble, perhaps a priest as well!"

  "Elenster isn't that nervous if he's simply a noble!

  That priest was very arrogant and said that in the Northern Plains, he had the final say, Elanst didn't react at all, as if it was a matter of course, so that priest is definitely not bluffing, with him around, I don't think we can do this business this time, let's all get ready to pack up and go back to the ship!"

  Sheridan said.

  "Back to the ship?

  So this run was for nothing?

  Business can not be done back not only no commission and commission, even the travel expenses are not enough to run this lying hair did not get one also lost not, how can this be done!"

  The man continued, and got a little emotional.

  "Baleton calm down for a moment, what's the rush."

  Taberman said.

  "Taberman, you've been with Sheridan for the longest time, he's sure to treat you well, I guess he didn't make a lot of money in the past, but this is my first time out on a mission, so if I don't get anything, I'll go back and drink the northwest wind!"

  Baleton said.
