Chapter 527: The Frantic Aksu Empire
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “No, it’s just that I don’t want those things to go to waste. Once those merchants leave, the remaining items will just rot away since your orc tribe won’t touch them. It’s a pity! I’ll buy them; once the war is over, I can sell them to the orc tribe at a low price. Isn’t that great? Nothing will go to waste, I can make a little profit, and the orc tribe will benefit as well.”
The black bear clan leader nodded and said, “That’s fine, hahahaha, you kid knows how to handle things. Anyway, you can earn a smile, and we orc tribe will also benefit.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Of course, I’m now considered half an orc myself, so I won’t cheat the orc tribe. Please, clan leader, the meal is ready next door, let’s drink a couple of good glasses.”
The black bear clan leader nodded and followed Zhao Hai to the next room. Today, Zhao Hai had prepared a meal centered around Aunt Atai’s roasted meat along with seafood.
Aunt Atai’s roasted meat goes without saying; it tastes wonderful. As for the seafood, although the black bear clan leader was a clan leader, he had never eaten it before, so they enjoyed this meal very much.
Zhao Hai didn’t ask the black bear clan leader what he had just been doing because that might have been a military secret of the orc tribe. If he asked, it might raise suspicions with the black bear clan leader.
Zhao Hai could see that the black bear clan leader was more distrustful of the human race because he had been deceived by them in the past. Even with Zhao Hai, he sometimes had his doubts.
After sending off the black bear clan leader, Zhao Hai got ready. He planned to greet Wells and the others when they arrived, and then he would return to the human race continent.
The day after the black bear clan leader arrived at Beast God City, the werewolf clan leader also arrived, and Zhao Hai received the werewolf clan well.
Aunt Atai was even more surprised this time; he was well aware of the reputation of the werewolves on the grasslands. The fact that Zhao Hai could befriend the werewolf clan truly astonished him.
The werewolf clan leader, while not as courteous as the black bear clan leader, chatted with Zhao Hai like a friend, and Zhao Hai treated them to a meal.
Of course, Zhao Hai wouldn’t use ordinary wine to entertain them; he served them refined milk wine, which amazed the orcs. They had been drinking milk wine all their lives but never expected it could be brewed like this.
On the fourth day after the werewolf clan leader's arrival, Wells and Buzel arrived as their clans had a good relationship and were of similar distance, so they came together this time. Zhao Hai naturally wouldn’t say anything and enjoyed a good meal with them.
What surprised Zhao Hai was that Buzel brought him the friendship flag of the dog-headed tribe this time, which truly astonished him.
Now, the orcs in Beast God City looked at Zhao Hai with different eyes. They simply couldn’t understand why a human could get along so well with so many orc tribes, especially the dog-headed tribe and the minotaur tribe, as if they were all one family, which puzzled them greatly.
In the following days, other orc tribes continued to arrive at Beast God City, but they were much like the black bear tribe, stationed outside the city, with only their clan leaders bringing a few guards into the city.
Zhao Hai was well aware of what those orc tribes were doing here; he had been observing their every move through the surveillance devices.
The purpose of these orc tribes coming here was to discuss troop deployments. Within Beast God City, several major war tribes were stationed—the tiger tribe, lion tribe, and fox tribe were all there, and they were royal families among those tribes. Therefore, every time the orc tribes intended to deploy troops, the orc tribes close enough to report to Beast God City would do so and act together.
These major families stationed in Beast God City had their own old camps; Beast God City was not their true old camp. However, their noble status allowed them to stay at Beast God City, deterring other races from making any trouble.
