Chapter 96: The Plot Behind the Smile

Viscount Meller had just celebrated his forty-seventh birthday. For a nobleman who was pampered, this age was the most mature and charming time.

But there were already deep wrinkles on his face, and his white hair looked a little haggard, and only a pair of dark brown eyes were always sharp and vivid.

"Crossing the river from the Whirling Forest, a large tribe of thousands of people, as well as a large number of green goblin slaves..." A touch of playful expression appeared in the Viscount's eyes: "Interesting!"

"Concordia, please ask them to sit in the living room first, and say I'll go there right away!"

The knight took the order and left the study. Viscount Meller's eyes turned and fell on a warrior who had been sitting next to the desk: "Disel, tell me what you think, how should we treat this Mad Hammer Tribe?"

The warrior looks like he is twenty-six or seven years old, with a burly figure, long face and a high nose, a cold look and fierce look, giving people a sense of danger.

He is Deser, the eldest son of Viscount Meller, the commander of the Territory Guard, possesses the strength of a second-level soul armored warrior, and is also the first heir to the Collinworth leadership.

"Eat some of them!" said the wolf warrior without hesitation: "Our territory requires a large population. Thousands of adult men can act as warriors, and these goblin slaves can greatly improve our strength!"

"Isn't that great?" Viscount Meller didn't seem to be much surprised: "They moved from the Whirling Forest, and it's our duty to give help!"

"My father, you won't understand the current situation of the kingdom, right?" Deser smiled, but his white teeth showed made the smile look quite ferocious: "If they were regarded as heroes of the kingdom a few years ago, they might have been regarded as heroes of the kingdom, but now..."

"The kingdom has completely abandoned its territory in the south. The nobles hope to stop war with the elves and even sign peace agreements in order to free up their power to deal with the demons in the west and the barbarians in the extreme north. In this case, how could they still look at this migrant tribe with a different look?"

The wolf warrior pursed his lips, his thin lips with indescribable ridicule: "We include them in our territory, to give them help, to solve the problem for the kingdom. The Ugru Senate should give us a big medal!"

"Well said!" A smile appeared on the Viscount's face, and his eyes were full of praise when he looked at his eldest son: "But there is another problem. Judging from the news brought back by Concordia, they are not weak. Every warrior has metal weapons. Such a tribe will not be able to subdue easily."

"The most important thing is that we cannot use force publicly because the consequences of doing so are we unbearable. Is there any good way for this?"

"We don't need to worry. The most important thing is to keep them within our sight. Didn't that Leon ask to stay in the territory? We can completely promise them that they can stay for as long as they stay..." Deser's eyes flashed: "A tribe of such a big must always eat and dress, right?"

"We can squeeze out all their savings with food, clothing, and trade in various commodities, but we will never give them the land they cultivate, the forests they hunt and the right to freely pass through the territory."

"As long as they stay, we can send people to win over and divide them, let them collapse from the inside, and in the end they will beg to join our Collinworth Corps, and there will be no trouble. We can even allow them to keep a small tribe of hundreds, just like other tribes in the territory!"

"Hahaha!"

Viscount Meller laughed loudly, and he was proud of having an extremely outstanding eldest son!

What Desell said was exactly what Viscount was thinking, and his intentional inquiry was a small test for his son.

Obviously, Desert delivered a perfect answer.

"Okay, let's go and meet the representative of the Mad Hammer Tribe together!" said the Viscount.

In the luxurious living room of the Colinworth family mansion, Viscount Meller met Leon and Akran.

After some polite socializing and introducing each other, Leon explained his purpose to the other party.

What surprised Leon was that Viscount Mele agreed to Leon's request very happily.

"It's great to see fellow citizens of the Howling Forest can return to the embrace of the Kingdom safely. Although Colinworth is a private family territory, we are still willing to accept all the Bemonites. You can build your own camp there and stay as long as you want!"

Viscount Meller smiled and said, "Because of your current situation, I can prepare a batch of food for you so that you don't have to go out to hunt. After all, I have already assigned the forests in the nearby areas to several nearby tribes."

"Please rest assured that we will not interfere with the Collinworth Corner. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Mad Hammer Tribe for your generosity." Leon stood up and bowed: "We will pay for this batch of food, and we dare not bear it in vain."

"Okay!" Viscount Mele nodded and said, "Lion, it's dark now, let's stay for dinner together!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but we are very sorry to bother you at this time. How can we stay for dinner?" Leon said politely: "My tribe members are waiting for our news, so we should go back immediately, please forgive me."

"That's right! Then I won't keep you!" Viscount Mele waved his hand very readily: "I asked Concordia to send you back. You are not familiar with the road and are easily lost at night."

Leon did not refuse this kindness, and the two said goodwill.

Seeing Leon's back disappear at the door, the smile on Viscount Meller's face disappeared little by little. He asked without looking back: "Desel, what do you think of these two people?"

During the talks just now, Deser basically didn't say a word except for the initial introduction, but just observed Leon and the others silently.

"This Leon doesn't look like a pure bear, but it looks like a barbarian. However, judging from the fluctuations of his aura, he should be a first-level soul nuclear warrior." Deser frowned and thought, "And I can't see through the depth of that human mage. But as a follower of Leon, his strength is probably very average."

"Lion must be able to bring so many people across the Nucang River. We must not take him lightly." Viscount Meller nodded and said, "Disel, this matter is left to you. We must take down the Mad Hammer Tribe!"

"Please rest assured, I will do my best!"

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, as if the Mad Hammer Tribe was already in their pocket.

Of course, Leon didn't know the plot behind the scenes of the Colinworth family. Under the leadership of Concordia, he and Aklan returned to the temporary camp of the Mad Hammer Tribe from the same route.

After delivery, the wolf knight hurriedly left again.

There were bonfires by the river, and the Mad Hammer Tribe had already set up a camp by the river. The air was filled with the aroma of food, and bursts of laughter and joy came from time to time.

When we arrive here, there will be no more threats from enemies. The Crazy Hammer Tribe will also find its own real home. The desire for a peaceful life and the expectation of a new future life have made everyone feel much more relaxed.

Seeing that Leon and Akran returned successfully, Elder Monstein, Rock Hammer and others were relieved.

Unconsciously, Leon has become the absolute backbone of the Rock Hammer Tribe. Without him, even Elder Monstein could not guarantee the unity of the tribe.

Leon told him in detail about his visit to Viscount Mele.

"That's great. I said, how could they drive us away? We can stay here now!" Yan Chu shouted happily after hearing this: "I'll tell everyone this good news!"

Bang!

Elder Monstein raised his staff and knocked him hard on the head, shouting angrily: "You stupid hammer, I really think this is a good thing!"

Yan Chuan covered his head with grievance. Although he was very dissatisfied, he did not dare to refute it.

Leon laughed and said, "Elder, Rock Hammer just hasn't seen many sinister hearts, so he can't blame him."

"However, that Viscount Meller is probably not that kind-hearted. What I worry about is that he has the idea of ​​our tribe."

"During the talks, I started to detect the mind. The other party was not kind-hearted, especially the eldest son of Viscount Mele, Deser, who seemed to be very interested in our tribe!" Akran interrupted, "Although he had never spoken, his emotions fluctuated greatly."

Mind detection is a level 4 spell, which Akran mastered after advancing. This spell can judge hostility or goodwill from strangers. Although it is not very accurate, it is sufficient to provide a reference for judgment.

"No matter what the other party thinks, I don't think they dare to openly attack us. This is not our home..." Leon said in a deep voice: "I will go to Castle Colinworth tomorrow morning, find a guide or buy a map to go to Glee, and find a way to gain a legal shelter for our tribe."

"Elder, I'll leave the tribe to you. I'll definitely come back as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, go there, we'll be here!" Elder Monstein nodded.

Qiang Wei's expression on the side was very disappointed: "Why is this happening? Shouldn't we, the Begun Beasts, unite and help each other? Why do they plot against us?"

Leon was a little sad. He had no passion in his heart. He could not survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak by relying solely on passion.

Someone must stand up and face such a thing, and escaping is never the solution to the problem!
