A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Chapter 61 The Cavendish family’s finances are tight

Kunta's third husband, Ars, ignored Pappas's little movements and forcefully hugged Pappas into his arms.

Pappas pouted at first and kept pushing Als with his little hands. Later, when I saw that I was weak and couldn't push him away, I stopped.

An imperceptible smile flashed across Als's eyes.

Pappas felt awkward in Als's arms, but his little head obediently leaned on Als's chest.

Als stroked the prickly little orange hair on Pappas' head from time to time, and continued the previous topic by talking about this trip.

When Wusu City was mentioned, Als's face still darkened: "Wusu City changed its tax collector, and his appetite was too big. It wasted too much time. At that time, the city guard Ricky also wanted to make a fortune from us. , I followed his wishes and left the city first."

After hearing this, all the orcs in the living room knew that there might be something wrong with this matter.

This was the first time Lilith heard about what happened outside Lila City. Sitting in Kunta's arms, she opened her clear blue eyes and stared curiously at the newly-appeared third father, Ars.

Just listen to Als continue to say: "Sure enough, not long after we left the city, we encountered a robbery gang that had set up an ambush in advance."

Lilith, who was a law-abiding and good citizen in her previous life, immediately widened her eyes.

Pappas' little hand unconsciously grabbed Heaton on Als's chest.

Als patted Pappas comfortingly: "The number of orcs in the orc gang that robbed the orcs was about the same as ours, but they just got a head start. We originally suppressed them, but we didn't want Ricky, the city guard officer of Wusu City, to come too. We are still brothers with the leading orc of this group of robbers. At this time, the number of enemy orcs is already more than twice that of ours."

Pappas looked up at Als with a worried look on his face. Als hugged Pappas's arm tightly: "Fortunately, Bacchus happened to lead the team passing by, otherwise you might not be able to see me." Als When he said the last sentence, he pretended to have a relaxed smile in his tone.

But this obviously did not make the orcs at home feel relieved.

Pappas was no longer awkward, his little head pressed tightly against Als's chest, and his little hands struggled to hold Als.

There was no smile left in Kunta's eyes. She looked at Als and said, "Als, the most important thing is your safety. When you saw the Wusu City Guards, you should have dropped the goods and taken the servants with you. The Corps left. Those guys are looking for money, and once they have the goods, they won't fight you."

Als held Pappas in his hand and shook it gently. He looked at Quinta with the same orange eyes as Pappas and said helplessly: "Quinta..."

Before he finished speaking, Kunta interrupted angrily: "Als! I know your worries, there are always opportunities for external objects. But you only have one life! To me, your life is the most important. How could you ignore it yourself?"

Lilith, who was held in Kunta's arms, felt her mother's mood from the ups and downs of Kunta's chest, and she patted her mother comfortingly.

Kunta, who was still angry, didn't notice his daughter Lilith's comfort for a moment.

On the side, Kunta's second husband, Sennasha, knew that Als would encounter such a dangerous situation, so he left first. He said guiltily: "It's my fault for not thinking carefully. I should have waited for you to set off from Wusu City before leaving the group."

Als said indifferently: "Who knew that there would be such things? Senasha, we agreed that you should start first. There is nothing strange about it."

Main's hand gently comforted his wife Quinta, who was obviously a little angry. He looked at Als and said seriously: "Als, I don't want to hear such things anymore." Main's ice-blue eyes were full of sternness.

Als is Main's half-brother. He has admired his eldest brother Main since he was a child. Listening to Main's tone now, you can tell that Main is angry. He put away the smile on his face, paused slightly and then whispered softly: "Brother, I understand."

Main nodded slightly and turned his gaze, seemingly revealing this time.

Als thought that this incident would be over, but he thought of the injured orcs in the mercenary group this time. He said calmly: "Although no orcs died this time, there were quite a few serious injuries..."

In fact, when he heard that the number of enemies was twice that of his own, Main was prepared for the possibility of orc casualties in the regiment. Now that I heard that no orcs were killed, I felt relieved. But when he heard that Alster specifically brought out the injured orc, he felt relieved again.

At this time, Main, the leader of the mercenary regiment, and Senasa, the deputy commander, looked at each other. Main asked in a deep voice: "How many orcs were injured in total? How many were seriously injured?"

Sennasha turned his attention to Als with the same concern.

Als whispered: "17 injured orcs. 8 seriously injured orcs..."

"Hiss——!" Kunta on the side couldn't help but gasp when she heard the number. Although she didn't know anything about the mercenary group, she also knew that there were 37 orcs in their trip, excluding her second husband Sennasha. , three husbands, Ars, and 35 orcs. Half of the people in Wusu City were injured...

The living room fell silent for a moment.

The younger Pappas and Antonio sensed a different atmosphere than usual and stopped speaking. Just sit quietly.

However, because Lilith didn't know much about the Fire Mercenary Group, she only heard a number. She didn't know much about the meaning behind this number. She turned her head and looked left and right, and realized from the frowns on her mother's and father's eyebrows that the matter might not be easy to solve.

Lilith pulled Amu Kunta's Heaton and wanted to know what the situation was now.

"Lilith..." Kunta came back to his senses and touched Lilith's light golden curls without saying anything.

Main, however, seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at the two deputy captains, Senasa and Als, and asked, "Is the harvest this time enough?"

While Senasha was still thinking about the income from this trip, Als, who was good at logistics management, said softly: "It's not enough..."

Main took a breath: "How much is left?"

"1 amethyst coin." Als's voice became lower and lower...

Quinta, Main, and Sanasa couldn't help but inhale at the same time.

Kunta spoke first to confirm: "1 amethyst coin?"

"Yes." Als nodded in confirmation softly.

Kunta didn't feel relieved when she got the answer. She sighed.

According to the rules of Lierz Continent, one amethyst coin is equal to 1 crystal coins. The small family they formed after getting married only has three amethyst coins.

Kunta's second husband Sennasha asked in confusion: "Why do you want so many?"

Als began to tell the story in detail. It turned out to be Archie, a seriously injured orc in the mercenary group. Depending on the situation, he might not be able to survive.

The current situation requires him to prepare funeral expenses and an amount of money that will be enough for his family to live in Lila City for ten years in the future.

These are the rules set by the Fire Mercenary Group when they recruit orcs.

In addition to this seriously injured orc who was on the verge of death, Als also talked about other cases of seriously injured orcs, none of which could be solved by calling a doctor. They all need high gold to go to the temple and ask the priest to treat them.

In addition, despite unexpected circumstances, the expenses of the mercenary group members also need to be settled. So total, 1 amethyst coin plus all the gains from this trip is barely enough.

"Ahem..." After Als finished speaking, he coughed slightly uncontrollably.

"Als?..." For some reason, Kunta was a little worried.

Als shook his head at Kunta to indicate that nothing was wrong.

Pappas was anxious: "Mom, please help dad take a look."

Regardless of Als's obstruction, Kunta guided the spiritual power from his palms into Als's body for observation.

It was found that the wall of Als's blood vessel was damaged, and part of the martial energy condensed into a ball there.

Kunta frowned and helped Ars sort out his martial energy. When the martial energy no longer gathered in the injured area. She just took out the healing medicine from the storage ring and forced it into Als's mouth.

After mentally observing the healing of the wound, he withdrew from Als's body. Only then did Als' originally pale complexion gradually regain some color.

Als looked at Kunta with a satisfied smile in his eyes.

Kunta ignored him and sat on the other side holding Lilith.

Lilith had just come back from observing her mother's use of spiritual power, and found that her mother had changed positions, looking confused.

After watching his wife Kunta heal Als, Main said to Als: "This money must be paid, and we cannot let the brothers feel disappointed." He paused, and continued in a low voice: "No matter what the outcome is, ... We are all trying our best to fund the treatment. If Archie is still... his family, we have to make arrangements."

Kunta, Senasa, and Als all nodded, and Kunta whispered: "That's right. I'll take out the amethyst coin later."

After the final discussion, it was almost time to eat. Main then added to Als: "Als, you are in danger this time. In addition to the large number of opponents, your own strength cannot withstand scrutiny. You have a rest today and go to practice outside the city tomorrow."

Als hugged Pappas in his arms tightly and looked at Main pleadingly: "Brother..." He then looked at Kunta, but saw that Kunta still turned his head and refused to look at him.

Main asked expressionlessly: "Huh?"

"I...I just came back...do you want to rest for two more days?" Als's tone rose and he looked at Main tentatively.

The left corner of Maine's lips curled up slightly: "You just rested too much. Let's set out as soon as the sun rises tomorrow." Maine reached out and patted Als on the shoulder.

Als was a little embarrassed, thinking that he would go out again just after he came back, and was worried about how to explain it to Pappas.

Looking down, he saw Pappas covering his mouth with his hands and snickering. Suddenly he was so angry that he slapped Pappas's little butt twice "hardly" to vent his anger.
