Chapter 669: 669
Waaagh!
“After passing through this plain, we will reach Distant Harbor.”
A rather large fleet of carriages continued east, carrying beasts ringing their bells and emitting a foul stench.
In the distance, there were two elven expeditionary cavalry patrolling the forest watching from afar. There was also a Goethe Duchy cavalry escorting them from afar. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the owner of this caravan had the tokens of His Highness Kant and Princess Tina. Secondly, there were nearly 2,000 Green Dwarfs in her caravan.
The former meant that she was a good friend and honored guest of the Skyquaking Dragon.
The latter meant that she was leading a huge unknown factor-two thousand ferocious green-skinned creatures that could even break through the defenses of a small city and turn it into a living hell.
The front half of the caravan was clearly separated from the back half. The front half was clean and orderly, with human carriages and human guards. The back half was filled with a foul stench. Nearly two thousand Green Dwarfs were shouting, cursing, and bragging as they advanced.
The accompanying mage guards blew strong winds at regular intervals, blowing away the stench that was attempting to invade them. Loud curses and clamorous shouts rang out from behind, making every human in the civilized world disgusted, worried, and uneasy. In any case, it did not feel good to have more than two thousand green-skinned creatures following behind them.
In the middle of the convoy that was heavily guarded and heavily guarded, a petite girl sat in front of a dressing table fixed to the floor of the carriage in a spacious carriage decorated with the Vidal family emblem.
She looked at herself in the mirror and gently tilted her head. Her silver hair fluttered in the soft waves. She picked up the small hat that was placed at the side and put it on diagonally. Then, she leaned forward and leaned in front of the mirror. She tilted her head and tilted her cheek to observe her face from all angles. She pursed her lips and revealed a sweet fake smile. Then, she realized that something was wrong at the corner of her eye, so she reached out and picked up the eyebrow pencil that was placed at the side.
Then, she froze.
“F * ck!”
Then, she threw away her eyebrow pencil.” What the f * ck am I doing? Kant is a fool. He doesn’t care about me at all. Why did I have to go up to him and smile apologetically?”
She picked up the letter on the table. The first line,” Dear friend,” was simply too eye-catching. Even though many days had passed, when she read it again, her anger bar was still full. Leona pretended to tear it, then revealed a conflicted expression. Then, she put the letter down with an uncertain expression.
“Bastard.” She said hatefully,” I’m going to tear it in front of you and paste it on your face!”
She threw the letter aside angrily. After a few seconds, she couldn’t help but turn around and see that the letter had landed on the bed. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
The girl looked at herself in the mirror and rubbed her face.
“He fucking dares!” Leona bit her finger.” If he dares to do this, I’ll, I’ll…”
She hesitated for a while, but she did not say anything that could threaten Kant.
“Humph…” The girl patted her face and said sulkily,” Why are you thinking about this? Anyway, he’s so famous and so capable now. I don’t have anything to threaten him with…”
At this point, Leona revealed a disappointed expression.
That’s right.
When Valentan first met her, she and Kant were of similar status. In fact, he was even slightly stronger than her. She was a noble daughter of a distinguished family in the south of the Empire and the eldest daughter of the Vidal Chamber of Commerce. Kant, on the other hand, was a member of the Empire’s blacklist and a secret wanted criminal. He was the so-called son-in-law of Goethe, a duchy that could be destroyed at any time.
That was all.
At that time, he only knew a little alchemy, was a little brave, and a little powerful. Other than that, he had no other advantages.
She and he were trapped in the city of Valentan, threatened by the elven army, and depended on each other.
And then?
Then, the stars fell from the sky, and the Battle of Valentan shocked the world. Then, he went to help Danfeng Lucerne from thousands of miles away. He won seven battles and defeated the Sunset Moon Dynasty, Distant Harbor, and Broken Islands. He won again and again, and no one could stop him. The Dragon of Aurora shook the world.
And he was still himself, an imperialist.
Leona was in a daze, her emotions fluctuating.
In just a few months, Kant had transformed from a survivor of Splendor Sand Town to a Forbidden Mage who could intimidate the world. He was a powerful being who even the Phoenix King, the Emperor, and the Chairman of the Arcane Magic Council had to respect and value. Even his father, the head of the Vidal family, had no chance to speak in front of the Emperor.
The difference in status, one in heaven, one on earth.
Vidal’s connections, wealth, and trade routes were nothing in his eyes.
“What are you doing here?”The young girl asked softly.
Why did he receive the letter, why did he reply, why did he come?
You ignored me for so long, and after writing a letter, I have to run over to work for you.
Why…
She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly laughed at herself.” I’m always praised for being good at doing business and having talent. I’m obviously so good at doing business. Why did I get so cheap when it was my turn?”
“I should have let that b * stard come over personally and give me a generous invitation. Then, I would have considered whether I should help him…Sigh, what am I thinking…It’s a buyer’s market…”
The silver-haired girl whispered,”What should we do…”
At this moment, the bell rang outside. The old butler who had been serving them all this time spoke in a low voice. Goldentooth is here again. I’ve already sent someone to invite Lord Monir.”
Leona was stunned for a moment before replying,”I understand.”
She looked at the girl in the mirror, her eyes moving and her face full of resentment. She took a deep breath and rubbed her cheeks. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. Her expression had become extremely cold.
Don’t let others see through your thoughts and don’t expose your emotions in front of outsiders.
This was how business was.
She pushed open the window and looked at him coldly.
A huffing sound came from behind. A moment later, a huge wild boar caught up with the carriage. A big guy was riding on the wild boar. He had green skin and a shiny gold ring on his thick fingers. Compared to the small green body, he was wearing a luxurious robe. His fangs were inlaid with shiny gold.
” Good day, honorable Miss Leona. I, the gold-toothed young man, pay my respects to you.”
The green-skinned creatures of the continent lived in the northern wastelands. It was a place where humans were rarely seen and the environment was harsh. It was a place that civilization had not touched. It was the edge of the world. There were eight known giant clans of orcs living there. They had the same body shape and appearance, but there were differences between different tribes, just like humans.
The Wicked Moon Clan was one of the most special ones.
The Golden-Teeth Big Boy came from the Wicked Moon Clan. The orcs of this clan were the smartest among the Green Dwarfs and had the closest connection with the civilized world. In other words, they were the bridge between the Green Dwarfs and the civilized world. The Greentown Chamber of Commerce, which had been growing in business in recent years, was their industry.
This clan’s desire for wealth and benefits had even replaced the beastmen’s fighting and bragging nature in some ways, becoming the norm of their actions.
Therefore, the Green Dwarfs ‘Chamber of Commerce monopolized all businesses from the Northern Wilderness. They bought metals, wine, weapons, food, raw materials, and other products from the civilized world and transported them to the Wilderness in exchange for precious animal skins, rare ores, and casting materials from this dangerous place. Of course, there was also the most important commodity, the Green Dwarfs, who were fearless, eager to fight, easy to feed, and did not need compensation.
Gladiators, mercenaries, slave laborers-the daily battles and battles between the Orc races constantly produced these things, and the Greentown Chamber of Commerce held this exclusive business.
The 2,000 orcs that Leona led were purchased, selected, and managed with the help of the Greentown Chamber of Commerce. They were all lively, powerful, and energetic kids. Moreover, under the supervision of the Greentown Chamber of Commerce, although they fought and quarreled from time to time, there were no large-scale fights or casualties among the 2,000 orcs. This was all thanks to the management methods of the Months of Demons.
“What is it?” Leona glanced at the golden teeth and asked calmly.
“Aren’t we about to reach the Far Harbor?” Golden-tooth rubbed his hands and smiled.” There are some things we need to discuss.”
“Discussion?” The silver-haired girl said,” The contract is written in black and white. The deposit has already been paid. The Greentown Chamber of Commerce will help me bring these Green Dwarfs safely to the distant port. After paying the remaining payment, you can leave.”
” We want to meet the legendary Great Skill Tyrant. Miss, please introduce us to him.” Golden-tooth revealed a sinister smile and swung his huge golden earring.
When he said the words “great skill overlord”, he emphasized his tone and even sounded a little mocking.
Leona glanced at him.
Only the Red Hammer Tribe and the Red Sickle Tribe believed in the legend of the Great Skill Tyrant. The other green-skinned creatures were indifferent to it, especially the Moon of Demons. When they heard that the so-called Great Skill Tyrant was actually a human, they scoffed even more, thinking that the green-skinned creatures of the Red Hammer Tribe had broken their heads-what a joke.
However, in the eyes of the merchants in Greentown, anything could be traded.
If the money was in place, even if Kant claimed to be a god, the Months of Demons would nod in agreement and do their best to help him cheat and brag, let alone call himself a master of skills.
The silver-haired girl frowned. She didn’t have a good impression of the Green Dwarfs of the Wicked Moon Clan. In fact, even if they were Green Dwarfs, after engaging in commercial activities, their treachery and scheming would be engraved into their bones. Under the temptation of money, even the stupidest orc would become extremely shrewd and have amazing intuition.
“This is not something I can decide,” she said.”I’ll mention it to him.”
Golden-tooth urged his mount and looked at Leona. His bell-sized eyes were filled with the slyness and coldness of a businessman. If one did not see it with their own eyes, no one would believe that this gaze came from a brainless Beastman.
The big guy lowered his voice.” I know what you’re thinking. Little shrimp, you’ve been in contact with the green-skinned creatures of other clans. You want to bypass us and deceive those idiots, right? We want to warn you that only Green Dwarfs can do business. Do you know what happened to those small shrimps who wanted to bypass us and go directly to the Wilderness to do business? We piled their skulls into a mountain.”
Leona’s eyes turned cold.
” That Prince Kant knows how to play. If others wanted to order green-skinned creatures around, they would use money to buy it. He doesn’t want to spend money. He wants to use the title of ‘Great Skill Tyrant’to order them around for nothing.”
” He can order green-skinned creatures around for free, but he has to pay us. We want money, and with the money, we can help him cheat. Although his Forbidden Spells are powerful, there are many things that he can’t use Forbidden Spells for. We understand this. He has a falling out with Goethe, the Empire, the Council, and the pointy-eared. If he wants obedient and capable kids, we Orcs are very useful.”
“It’s quite useful,” Golden-tooth said as he patted the Warpig beneath him.
From the beginning to the end, the Months of Demons did not believe in the legend of the Great Skill Tyrant. Who would think that a human would be the so-called Great Skill Tyrant? They thought that Red Hammer’s green-skinned head was damaged. They thought that Skyquaking Shrimp Kant was a cunning little shrimp. He actually wanted to trick the green-skinned creature into helping him fight for free. There was no such thing as getting away with it.
He wanted to split the money, he wanted to split the money for Xie Yue.
Leona’s eyes were cold as she sneered.” If you think so, tell Kant that.”
Golden-tooth sneered.” You’re not honest, little shrimp. We’re doing business. We can’t offend big customers. I know what you’re up to. You want to use Green Dwarfs to please Kant and get rid of us. But we can’t let you take all the benefits. We’ll have to see if the Greentown Chamber of Commerce agrees or not.”
“Who wants to please him?!”Leona’s expression changed.
“Of course it’s you. I can see that your expression changes every time Kant is mentioned. I know that you just can’t bring yourself to do anything, right? You can’t use us green-skinned creatures to fish for rich guys without paying.”
” What do you have without the green-skinned monster?” Golden-tooth sneered.” What are you?”
“Shut up!” The silver-haired girl raised her eyebrows and snapped.
” You little shrimps have always been like this. You always say one thing but mean another. When we expose what you mean, you get angry. But you have to think carefully. Does Kant want us or you?”
The orc pointed behind him.” Five hundred Battle Pigs and fifteen hundred Orc brats. Are they enough to support Kant?” They were the Beastmen that we had picked out to be the best at fighting. They were powerful and powerful. All of them were armed with machetes, wore iron robes, and had bone-piercing spears. We could make them believe that Kant was a master of martial arts and that they would do whatever Kant said. We could also recruit tens of thousands of green-skinned creatures like them from the Wilderness! Little shrimp, Kant is short of soldiers now. Do you think he values us or you?”
Leona pursed her lips. Her body trembled in the carriage. She gripped the windowsill tightly with her silk-gloved hands. Her knuckles turned white from the force. She wanted to refute the other party’s words loudly, but the cunning green-skinned creature’s shout had exposed her most fundamental worry-what could she bring Kant?
After all, the thoughts of a businessman had already integrated into her instinctive thinking.
The answer made her feel powerless and even panic.
Golden-tooth continued,” I don’t want to offend you either. We still have business with Vidal. If you introduce Kant to us, you have to give in to our business. We also want to share the benefits from Kant. Hmph, if a small shrimp wants to pretend to be a master, we have to agree…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a faint roar sounded in the sky.
“What’s that sound?”Jin Ya was shocked.
At the same time, the caravan guard shouted,”Slow down! Slow down! Stop moving forward! Defend!”
The orc thought for a moment and immediately looked at Leona.” If someone tries to rob or do something bad, we will help. But you have to pay. What are you laughing at?”
” What?” The golden-toothed young man was surprised to find that the human shrimp actually revealed a happy smile after his surprise.” You know what’s coming?” This strange sound…”
He heard a whistling sound coming from the sky.
Three heavy-duty helicopters flew past, and the sound of their rotating blades pierced through the air. The ground shook, and the shouts of the guards were drowned out by the approaching roar. In an instant, Gold Tooth even felt that he was hallucinating because he heard a sound wave coming from afar.
That was the roar he had heard the most in his life.
It was the roar of the northern wilderness that suppressed the wind and snowstorm.
That was…
“WAAAAAAGH!”
Black smoke rose from the hills on both sides.
Shadows whizzed out as fast as lightning. They leaped up from the slope and landed heavily on the ground. They were roaring Steel War Beasts, spewing thick black smoke. Their bodies were covered with fangs, bone spears, and other strange things. Their horns were bright red, and the big guy riding them was roaring towards the sky!
“WAAAAAAAGH!”
“What’s that?!” Golden-tooth asked in fear.
He felt a kind of fear and envy that came from his soul. The War Pig under him trembled and howled!
Hundreds of heavy-duty green-skinned motorcycles went berserk. They rushed out from the hills on both sides, speeding along the plains and crossing the caravans. The green-skinned people on the motorcycles were dressed in colorful clothes. All kinds of cool ironware, electronic boards, plastic products, and bone products were draped all over their bodies. They held the handles with one hand and raised the other. They raised their middle fingers and stuck out their tongues at the caravans. The flags, bone spears, and totems on the motorcycles shook in the wind!
They were laughing maniacally!
An even louder roar came from the front. Behind the motorcycles, pickup trucks, muscle cars, and large trucks kept rushing out. The roof had been torn off, and even the steering wheel had been modified by the green-skinned people. The bodies of the cars were painted with pale skeletons, bloody beast faces, and green blood drops. The ferocious collision horns, terrifying meat grinders, and terrifying external welding armor made these civilian vehicles look like war beasts! The green-skinned man was laughing maniacally as he turned the valve. The pipes shot flames into the sky and let out a strange howl!
Golden-tooth was dumbfounded as he watched a heavy-duty pickup truck whizzing past. The green-skinned man on the truck stepped on a heavy-duty anti-aircraft gun and fired at the sky with a loud bang. The green-skinned man on the truck shouted,” Hello, little shrimp! Big Skill Tyrant asked us to welcome you!”
The other green-skinned creatures roared in response.
“WAAAAAGH!”
The green-skinned man trembled. This…”
He realized that something was wrong.
Then, he heard a violent note, a passionate roar, as if his blood was boiling.
Behind the barren hills, the real behemoths flew out. Off-road trucks were like the beasts of war in Komoira. They were locked with iron chains and spears were placed horizontally. A large number of war mechanisms were soaked in bright red paint. The green-skinned creatures hanging on the trucks roared loudly. Golden-tooth looked over in horror and recognized the green-skinned shadow on the largest truck in the middle!
That was…
“Overturn the Heavens!”
Surrounded by off-road trucks, the war fortress was built on a high platform with the back of the truck. Hack Flipping the Sky stood at the highest point. Behind him were dense stacks of speakers, high-subwoofers, and large speakers for theaters. The Orc warlord grabbed the ferocious and powerful speakers covered in barbs and started playing music!
Nine orcs hammered the totem drum!
Shocking, violent, and ear-piercing notes resounded through the world as the green-skinned creatures roared in unison!
“WAAAAAAGH!”
“We are the Green Skinned Spears!”
Skyhack also saw Leona and waved his hand happily. Big Skill Tyrant asked us to pick you up! They were behind! Let’s go and clean up those green-skinned brats behind us first!”
The War Pig under Golden-tooth’s body had already lost its balance and collapsed.
The beastmen of the Greentown Chamber of Commerce were dumbfounded as they looked at their surroundings. They saw the giant dragons whistling behind the green-skinned spearmen, and then the war machines that were much more normal than the green-skinned spearmen, human cavalry, elven cavalry, mages… They came from all over the mountains and plains to this place.
In the end, he saw the people of Aurora surrounded by all kinds of people.
The moment he saw the other party, his legs went weak and he could not help but kneel.
The convoy had already stopped. Leona alighted from the carriage, and the sky was filled with noise. The roars of the orcs came from behind, but Leona could not see or hear anything else.
Kant flipped his hand behind his back, and a bouquet of red roses appeared out of thin air. He handed it to him.
” Let me introduce you all. This is Leona Vidal, my confidante and friend in need. She has been invited by me to join Siegel Company to manage my private business.”
Kant held Leona’s hand and smiled at the shogunate officials and people from all walks of life behind him.
“Come, let’s get to know each other.”
