Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 524: Alliance (Seeking Subscription)

After learning the bottom line of those merchants, Zhao Hai had already made a decision. He decided to purchase the supplies brought by those merchants. Of course, he wouldn't buy them at high prices; he would make those merchants incur some losses. However, he believed that even so, those merchants would be very grateful to him.

At the same time, this deepened Zhao Hai's understanding of the orc tribe. If the orc tribe were to go to war with the human race, they would drive all the human merchants back to the human territory. In such a situation, those human merchants would definitely leave the supplies they brought behind, and the orc tribe could easily seize those supplies.

However, according to past customs, the orc tribe usually wouldn’t touch those supplies and would let them rot there. They could take up weapons to rob from the human territory for survival, but they wouldn’t move the supplies left by human merchants in Beast God City. This was both puzzling and admirable about the orcs.

Zhao Hai also knew that if the orcs drove away those human merchants, it would mean that those merchants would suffer great losses.

Most of the tribes and races of the orc tribe directly exchanged goods for magical beasts. Human merchants had to trade the supplies they brought into the prairie for magical beasts, which they would then drive back to human territory for processing and sale. The difference in price was one of their main sources of income.

But if the orcs drove them away, it would mean that war was imminent. It would be very difficult for them to cross the border of the human race with those magical beasts. Even if they managed to get through, the fees they would incur would be several times higher than usual. This way, they would incur significant losses. It could be said that the most unfortunate ones at the beginning of the great war between the human race and the orc tribe would be those unwitting human merchants.

Therefore, Zhao Hai planned to trade with those people using gold and silver. He had a lot of money on hand and even some anonymous crystal cards. These crystal cards had not been too useful thus far, as Zhao Hai did not have many places to spend money. So using these crystal cards for transactions with the human merchants should be just right, and those merchants would also welcome it.

Zhao Hai had been in the orc tribe for nearly ten days. During this time, rumors slowly spread in Beast God City that the Church of Light might be related to the current food shortage. It was also believed that the tiger tribe and lion tribe had confirmed the authenticity of this news and were preparing to formally go to war with the human race.

However, despite various rumors circulating, the orcs in Beast God City had not driven away the human merchants, which meant that the orc tribe had not yet confirmed their intention to go to war with the human race. But from the current situation, it seemed inevitable that the orc tribe would go to war with the human race sooner or later.

Now, the human merchants in Beast God City were all like ants on a hot pan. They knew that the orc tribe did not have much time left for them.

At that moment, Zhao Hai took action. He asked Atai to gather all those human merchants at the Blood Lotus Shop and had Laura and the others prepare food and drinks, as Zhao Hai was going to discuss this trade with the merchants today.

The merchants soon followed Atai to the Blood Lotus Shop. They might not care much for Atai, but they dared not disrespect Zhao Hai.

As the head of the Budah family, Zhao Hai had long been famous in the human race continent, and of course, he was known for being ruthless.

Everyone knew that hundreds of thousands had died by Zhao Hai's hands. Just thinking about it made their backs chill and their scalps tingle. So when Zhao Hai invited them, they dared not refuse, but each one was trembling. They did not know what Zhao Hai wanted from them.

After the merchants followed Atai into the yard behind the Blood Lotus Shop, Zhao Hai was already standing there waiting for them. As soon as he saw the merchants enter, he immediately greeted them and bowed to several merchants, saying, "Zhao Hai Budah, welcome everyone."
