Chapter 543: Arrangement (Seeking Subscription)
The Beast King stared at Zhao Hai and said, "You are a human. Are you not betraying your own race by doing this?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, you flatter me. This time I'm only dealing with the Church of Light. Moreover, I am different from other humans. To me, the orc tribe and the human race are the same; we are all intelligent races on this continent. I don't believe orcs are inferior to humans, nor do I think humans are superior to orcs. To speak honestly with the Beast King, if the orc tribe were to invade humans just because they coveted our territory, even as a foreign prince of the tauren, I would prevent the orcs from doing so. Similarly, the orc tribe is fighting for its survival now, and you have already fallen into the trap of the Church of Light. I cannot stand by and watch. After all, I am also a foreign prince of the tauren, and I consider myself half an orc."
The Beast King and the other clan leaders of the orc tribe looked at Zhao Hai in surprise. They did not expect him to respond this way. This answer was both within their expectations and beyond them.
Especially when Zhao Hai said that he would definitely stop the orc tribe from invading humans for their territory, not just the orc leaders, even Wells was a little surprised.
The Beast King looked at Zhao Hai and suddenly burst into hearty laughter. His voice was low and powerful, sounding like a roar, making the tent tremble.
After a while, the Beast King stopped laughing and looked at Zhao Hai, saying, "Good, young man, you are a true friend of the orc tribe. I believe you. The news you brought is very important to us. Now you can begin with the antidote."
Zhao Hai did not expect the Beast King to be so straightforward, but he nodded and took out a water bottle, pouring a cup of water for everyone in the room. After watching everyone drink it, Zhao Hai said, "Please, Your Majesty, give the order to prepare wooden barrels. I will send over the antidote immediately. Only by drinking my antidote will there be no problems."
The Beast King nodded and looked at Zhao Hai, saying, "Young man, when the war is over, if you come back to the Orc Prairie, don't forget to visit our Giant Tiger Tribe. We lack everything, and no matter what you bring, we will gladly accept it."
Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "It is my honor to receive Your Majesty's recognition. I will definitely come. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The Beast King nodded and waved his hand. Zhao Hai then left the Golden Great Tent. Once Zhao Hai was gone, the Beast King turned to Wells and said, "Clan Leader Wells, tell me about what you know of Zhao Hai. Will he really do as he says?"
Wells nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, Little Hai is not an ordinary person. He keeps his promises and never speaks empty words. Unlike other humans, I knew from the first time I met him that he did not look down on the orc tribe at all. Initially, he did not receive the friendship flag of our tauren tribe but rather a friendship flag from a tribe of the big-bellied pig tribe. I later sent someone to check, and that friendship flag was indeed given to Little Hai by that tribe voluntarily. He is very angry about what we orc tribe is currently experiencing, which is why he is helping us."
The Beast King nodded and glanced at Buzel, saying, "Dog-headed clan leader, what do you have to say?"
Buzel nodded and said, "I agree with Wells. Little Hai is really quite remarkable. In fact, if he wanted to deceive us, we wouldn't have known that this matter is related to the Church of Light at all."
Before the Beast King could reply, the leader of the werewolf tribe spoke in a deep voice, "I also believe that Zhao Hai is a trustworthy person. He is different from ordinary humans; I noticed this from the first day I interacted with him. Otherwise, we of the wolf tribe wouldn't have traded with him."
The Black Bear Clan Leader chimed in, "I believe Little Hai won't deceive us. I think the most important thing now is to immediately send someone back to the prairie to remind everyone to pay attention to the human fleet. This time, their fleet must consist of elite troops. If they are not there, it won’t be of much use. If such an elite force operates within the prairie, it will cause significant damage."
