usurping the throne

When Steven led the two people to the fox gathering place based on his memory, the three of them didn't see a single fox, they just saw a ruined wall.

The fox clan gathering place was destroyed...?

The three of them looked at each other and walked into the village while maintaining their vigilance.

The limitations of the orcs lead to the fact that the living standards of the orcs are not as refined as the human empire.But walking in the village of orcs, you can still feel another sense of freshness.The animal skins drying outside the house, under the accumulation, is another wild and exotic style.

But now, this beauty has been completely destroyed.

The three of them searched the village for a while, and found that not only the buildings were damaged, but more seriously, the Fox clan who originally lived here had all disappeared.The whole village is like a ghost village.There were a little blood and some traces of fighting on the ground.But there was not even a dead body in sight.

The three of them searched the small village carefully again, but still found nothing.

The night was over by this time.But there was no bright color in the eastern sky.

The dark clouds were extremely low, and it seemed that the rainstorm was coming.

The three of them found the most well-kept house in the village, cleaned up the scattered debris in the house, and planned to rest there.

In the village that had just been "hidden from the gods", neither Steven nor Levant dared to sleep too much. In response to Azi's strong request, Levant temporarily threw the two plants and the soil out of the window, allowing the two plants to Water the plants and help Levant look at the door by the way.

Levant slept quite comfortably.

But the most at ease people's sleep quality is not good.

I always feel like something is moving in my sleep.It is a very slight movement.Gradually, without interruption.Finally, the small walking stopped, and then there was the sound of something heavy being dragged carefully.

Levant, tired of being disturbed by these sounds, opened his eyes and tried to sit up and open the window for some air.

But the moment he opened his eyes, he saw a human-shaped object standing there only five or six meters away, with red eyes shining.The red light is not the round shape of an almond, but the shape of a slender willow leaf.

Levant was taken aback by this ghostly scene, and his first reaction was to raise his hand and chant a spell. "bundle"

The red light fell to the ground, but it didn't end, because Levant's spell was continuous.What binds at the same time is a lightning trick.

Rumbling thunder exploded inside the house.

The momentary light also lit up the dark room for a moment.

Levant took advantage of this momentary light to clearly see the thing tied up by him——

A...man with a big red tail flicking from behind.

……

Levant's side was too loud, and Steven and Garfield couldn't sleep soundly.In just a moment, two people came to this room.

Before that, Levant had already put Ah Zi and You Lan back into the backpack.

When Steven pushed open the door, Levant had already lit the oil lamp.

Although the dim oil lamp could not brighten up the room, it was able to allow the orcs with innate eyesight to see everything in the room clearly.

So when Steven saw the man with the red tail, he immediately called out his name, "Ed?!"

"You know him?" Levant pointed to the man who was smashed.

Thunder Jue is an elementary spell, and it is instant.Of course, the damage is not great, it's just a subconscious reaction after being frightened.

But Levant didn't expect that this red tail was surprisingly weak.A Thunder Jue was overturned on the ground, and he couldn't get up again.

When Steven recognized the other party, he also saw the other party's scorched appearance.

He looked back and forth between Levant and Ide on the floor without any trace, and finally positioned this as Ide who was stunned by Levant with his weird props.

Because in terms of Ide's force value alone - it is too easy to stun him.

Ede woke up from the numbness all over his body.

At first glance, I saw Steven approaching with concern.

"Steven!" Ide sat up abruptly with his eyes wide open, and slammed his head on a protruding wooden board at the head of the bed.Then he fell back again, and passed out with his eyes closed.

Garfield: ...

Steven: ...

(in a coma) Ed: ...

Levant: ...

Is this a joke invited by a monkey?

After a while, Ed woke up again.Sit up firmly from the bed for the second time.This time he has calmed down a lot, so his mood is relatively stable.It's just that the first sentence ignited a big thunder. "Steven, help me. The clansmen were all taken away by people from the mercenary union from the human empire."

[True] Absolute high-level members of the mercenary union: ...? ?Black question mark face.jpeg

"What is the mercenary union doing to kidnap the fox clan?" Levant discussed the facts.

Ede didn't know Levant, but seeing that Levant was with Steven, his attitude towards Levant was much gentler. "Supposed to be sold as slaves. I heard they said they'd get a good price or something."

……fart!

The mercenary union has never been in the business of human traffickers, okay?

Just when Levant thought that the scapegoat had really been dumped on the mercenary union, Ide shook his head, "But, it's not really a member of the mercenary union." Red Tail squinted his eyes and sat on the bed, finished speaking This sentence looked up at the three people.

When he and Levante Garfield looked at each other, their squinted eyes narrowed even more.The long and narrow fox eyes reminded Levant of the word used to describe vixen in their world, except for their appearance. [Wisdom is close to demon]

Although this big tail behaved very... dull, but his inner thoughts, and the scapegoat that was dumped on the mercenary union by an unknown group just now.From these two points of view, it is absolutely fine to plan to kill a lion... such as Garfield.

"I have also seen that mercenary union. Although it is human, it has a perfect system and reward and punishment system. Some tasks will pay the employer when they fail and can no longer continue. This model seems to be rooted here. , and count on a strong one.

The attack came quickly and violently.Everyone was not prepared to be caught off guard.How to say the Fox Clan is also one of the top ten nobles. In the Beastman Empire, there are people who have the courage to sell the entire Fox Clan.In addition to being bold, there must be sufficient preparation and internal response, as well as a large number of manpower.If the gang of mercenary unions wanted to do this, they would lose a lot of good players who would never show their faces in the orc empire, because once these 'good hands' showed their faces again, they would be wanted in the country.

And there is also the risk of being traced out to vent your anger.The person who can come up with the idea of ​​a mercenary union and formulate perfect regulations must not be a fool who can do such a stupid thing. "

Levant, who was being flattered, suddenly became interested in this fox boy.Ask. "Then what if this matter was only done by the subordinates of the leader of the mercenary union, and the leader didn't know about it?"

"'Opening up wasteland', establishing a new force in a strange land, must be the leader's confidant. And even if he does not act decisively, he must be an obedient confidant. Attacking and trafficking a village population of the Fox tribe is a major event, and it will definitely be reported. .So either the mercenary union has been splashed with dirty water, or there are traitors."

"If it's the latter, even a traitor would not have the courage to do such a thing. So there is a one in ten thousand possibility that there really is a traitor, and there must be a huge backer behind the traitor. Black Hand will still not be a mercenary union."

The three members of the mercenary union didn't even open their mouths to make an excuse, and the blame and suspicion were inexplicably cleared away by the red tail.

Ede with the red tail talked eloquently, and after analyzing it, he grabbed Steven who was closest to him. "So, Steven. Help me. I've never been to a human country. You tell me the reputation of the mercenary union in the human empire. By the way, investigate, that bastard organization has provoked some big people who can't be provoked. Although They didn't do it, but since the dirty water is going to be poured on them, the person who poured the dirty water must have a grudge against them."

"That's enough." Garfield yelled uncomfortably, "Shut your bird mouth for me!...a fox mouth!"

The mercenary union was established by Sam, and he is the elder among them.They are all brothers who have lived and died in their own family. How did they become a bastard organization?

In Garfield's opinion, this red-tailed bird is really not a good bird!In a few words, he called his brother 'rebellion'. ... Sao Xixi has a bad forehead all day long, and she knows how to plot people!

Levant sat down on the bed next to Red Tail Ide, patted Wade on the shoulder, "Let me be straight. I, Steven, the one who is not very friendly to you is Garfield The three of us are actually the bosses of the mercenary union."

Depend on!

Levant saw Ide turn to look at him again through his fiery red eyes.This time, I don't know what kind of neuropathy I have, and I moved my head, almost touching the tip of Levant's nose——

cough cough...

steven pulls people away in embarrassment

Ide apologized calmly, "I have had eye disease since I was born. Unless things are very close, things are blurry with both eyes. I just want to see your appearance."

It turns out that it's not natural dullness, but nearsightedness?

Orcs are less likely to be short-sighted. After all, to hunt, their five senses are several times, or ten times, that of humans.Levant didn't expect such a one-in-[-] chance that he could hit it.

Levant continued, "The trade union has no family background, and it rose suddenly in a short period of time. As long as it has a little background, some old men look down on us, thinking that we are rough people, reckless people who are lucky to make money. But always Being robbed of business by a reckless man, or having to ask a reckless man who they look down on for some things. So there are a lot of enemies. If you want me to say the enemy, I can’t tell. But don’t worry, if you really want to investigate, the enemy The number must be as many as the stars on the top of the head. I can't find it for a while."

Ed was terribly shocked.

Humans have always been treacherous, cunning, and philistine in the Orc Empire.For the first time, he saw humans who were more bold than orcs.After a moment of stunned, he gathered his mind.

"However, what you want to investigate is not the enemies of the mercenary guilds of the entire human empire, is it?" Levant raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Ede nodded, "Yes. After all, it is in the 'orc territory'."

Steven was awakened by this sentence, suddenly understood.Nod. "In that case, I really know that there are several forces that meet the conditions. If it is really them, I am a little surprised that they are only doing it now."

Garfield was on the side, feeling despised by the IQ of the three people in front of him.

Because he couldn't understand anything!

But the boss is too delicate, and the second brother is his own.So he picked up Yide's collar and began to shake, "What are you talking about! Tell me clearly!"

Ed rolled his eyes in shock.

Levant and Steven quickly rescued Ede.

Ninja explained, "In the Beastman Empire, there is only the Chamber of Commerce that has the ability to organize people to attack a small village, buy off the Beastman traitors, and have the incentive to tear us into troubled waters..."

Two chambers of commerce!

Ide's original intention was to rule out those who had no hatred with Levant.

But that's bullshit.

The mercenary trade unions have already snatched up their business, so who's not in a hurry?And how many lives did the two major chambers of commerce lose when they opened up sales channels in the orc country?How much money did you spend?

As a result, the members of the mercenary union came directly through the trade route without losing anything.The heads of the chambers of commerce on both sides were red-eyed and gritted their teeth several times.

In terms of suspicion, neither of the two major chambers of commerce can escape suspicion.
