Chapter 306: The Plan
As soon as Zhao Hai returned, Laura immediately asked, “What happened?”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Brother said we will advance to King Xiqi's Camp in three days. Originally, he wanted to give all the Bullfighting Tribe people to me as our slaves, but I refused. I prefer to have some milder-natured tribes with less combat power as slaves; the Bullfighting Tribe is not suitable.”
Laura nodded and replied, “I think so too. The Bullfighting Tribe is notoriously hot-tempered among the orcs. Even if they were given to us, it would be a troublesome matter. It seems Brother is really taking care of us.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Brother had thought this through a long time ago. He wanted to eliminate the Bullfighting Tribe first and then give all their people to us as slaves. He’s really thoughtful.”
Laura laughed and said, “It seems that among the entire human race, only we are living the most glorious life on the grassland, but our efforts are indeed quite considerable.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Don’t worry, our rewards will definitely be substantial. Alright, let's not talk about this. In a couple of days, we will set out for King Xiqi's Camp. I will go as well. This time there probably won’t be any major battles. After all, there are very few able-bodied men at King Xiqi’s camp; they shouldn’t dare to confront Brother directly. However, I suspect King Xiqi won’t just sit and wait. There may be counterattacks, but I don’t know what form they will take.”
Laura smiled and said, “With you around, Brother doesn’t need to bring an army. How many undead beings do you have now? Over four hundred thousand, right? With that number, you could establish a tribe on the grassland. Even the large tribes with populations over a million, like Brother's, don’t have as many available combatants as you do, not to mention the slave tribes. And those undead beings under your command are much stronger than a typical orc army.”
Laura was so happy not just for the numbers but because with these undead beings, the safety of Iron Mountain Fortress was ensured. Zhao Hai could now place those undead beings at Iron Mountain. An army of four hundred thousand composed of seventh-level undead beings could sweep through the Aksu Empire if a real battle broke out.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn’t want to do that. If he dared to act that way, he would become an enemy of all races on the continent, and he would have nowhere to hide.
Zhao Hai smiled and then sighed, “I really don’t know how I will face Beta and the others when I reach King Xiqi’s camp.”
Laura also sighed. Although they weren’t on good terms with King Xiqi, they had to admit that they were friends with Beta. In this situation, meeting with Beta would indeed be quite awkward for them.
At that moment, Meg suddenly said, “Young master, if everything is settled here, will we return to Iron Mountain Fortress for the winter? I still can’t get used to being here.”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, we should return. The winter here on the grassland is not short; it lasts over three months. Once we return to Iron Mountain Fortress, we can use this time to establish the teleportation point in the Roson Empire. That way, when we come back to the grassland next year, we can slowly build our business network in the Roson Empire, turning what we have into money. Moreover, we can procure what materials we need from the Roson Empire at the first opportunity. Roson is the strongest nation on the continent, so they should have a complete range of supplies.”
Laura nodded and said, “Of course, the supplies in the Roson Empire are extensive. Their Imperial Capital, Karsen City, is the biggest commodity distribution center on the continent, and there are rumors that anything available on the continent can be bought there.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly. “Isn’t that even better? By then, even if we take something to sell there, no one will pay attention to us. However, we will need to change our approach this time. It’s best to cooperate with influential people in the Roson Empire, so that no one will dare to touch us, and we won’t encounter the same situation that happened in the Versailles Principality.”
