This sentence from Tedder was not only an answer to Chris's question, but also a warning to Chris that their flying cavalrymen were about to arrive at Jackado Town.
In the future, when your forest eagles deliberately circle above our heads, you have to be careful.
"Hehe, since your flying cavalrymen are about to arrive, there's no need for the Shattered Bone Tribe to take action. Besides, do you want me to help you deal with the manticore with these little gifts? Stop dreaming."
Chris refused without hesitation.
It was good that he had received news about the manticore.
The rest was not something he could decide.
"No, no, no, Chief Chris, you've misunderstood. Of course, there's more than this. We can also make a deal. I know that you gnolls and those monsters all want to eat the flesh and blood of us humans.”
"Thus…I can promise you that as long as you help to eliminate the manticore, I will pay you more than ten humans as tribute at the end of every month.”
Teddy was prepared.
He knew that the gnolls would not easily agree to fight the manticore.
That was why he had specially brought out the humans that even the monsters could not reject.
As the most remote human town in the Yare Kingdom, it was the place where many criminals were exiled.
He could just grab a few death row convicts and give them to Chris.
This was harmless.
Since he had to kill them later, he might as well make use of them.
"You humans are the cruelest. This sentence is indeed correct.”
Chris was shocked by what Teddy said.
Even a chaotic and evil monster like him would not throw his own people to humans as food.
Even if they were traitors, they should be beheaded by themselves.
"Don't worry about us humans. In short, Chief Chris, answer me. Are you willing to make this deal?”
Teddy didn't want to talk about this topic any longer.
He was just using some death row prisoners.
"…I don't need humans. How about this, you double the amount of resources, and I'll agree to your request. But let me make this clear first, I might not be able to kill those manticore lions.”
As for what to do, it still depended on His Majesty's opinion.
Chris couldn't give any guarantees.
Even if His Majesty did not agree, these humans did not know if they had gone to deal with the manticore.
This was called getting something for nothing.
"Sure!"
Very quickly.
After reaching an agreement with Chris, he prepared to leave with his guards.
When they reached the door, they stopped again.
"By the way, Chief Chris, why are you building a wall behind the nest? Shouldn't you be surrounding your own nest?”
Teddy looked back.
"If I'm happy, I can surround them however I want. Do you have any objections?”
Chris couldn't think of an excuse, so he didn't bother to explain to Teddy.
" No, no, no. This is your own business, Chief Chris. I don't have any objections. I'm just asking casually. Let's go. The doubled resources will be sent to you in a few days.”
Teddy waved his hand and left with his guards.
Seeing that Tedd and the others had finally left, Chris hurriedly turned around and ran into the dragon's nest to tell His Majesty what had happened today.
outside
"Lord Tedder, why did you agree to this condition of the gnolls? The doubling of resources is a huge pressure for our Jackado Town.”
One of the guards finally couldn't help but ask.
Jackado Town was originally a remote town that had been plundered and destroyed by monsters.
Giving the monsters double the resources would only make things worse for Jackado Town.
"It's just a mere resource. So what if we give it to them? Let the gnolls and the others test the dangers of the manticore.”
His humble attitude changed, and his face turned cold.
He was like a completely different person from before.
"What if they don't go after the manticore?”
The guard was worried that Chris and the others would go back on their word and take all the resources without doing anything.
Wasn't he playing with them?
"Do you think I didn't think of that? Don't worry, the gnolls will definitely go.”
said Tai De confidently.
"Uh…Lord Tedder, are you so sure?”
The guard felt that monsters never kept their promises.
Especially those chaotic and evil monsters.
Their words and promises were like farts, pleasant to the ears but not pleasant to the ears.
" The place where the manticore attacked our trade route is not far from the Dorkafa Mountains. There will definitely be a conflict with the gnolls. Just wait and see. When they are both injured, it will be the time for us to send troops to destroy them and take back our dignity and resources!”
Teddy finally revealed his true thoughts.
This was what he wanted to do.
Gnolls! Go to hell!
……
Dragon lair
"That's what happened, Your Majesty. The humans came to us to deal with the manticore.”
Chris reported truthfully.
He recounted the entire conversation without missing a single word.
"The manticore didn't go far?”
Xi Mu was a little surprised.
He thought that the manticore would choose to leave after smelling the red dragon's scent.
"Your Majesty, I think the reason why those monsters didn't leave is very simple. Think about it, Princess Gwendolyn and I encountered the manticore when we were hunting in the wild.”
"Those manticore lions will probably think that our territory is there. What they don't know is that our real territory is in the Torkafa Mountains.”
Chris boldly guessed.
Only this possibility could explain why the manticore had appeared there.
Otherwise, Chris didn't think the manticore would be stupid enough to go against the dragon.
"That human said that the manticore is roaming around the Torkafa Mountains?”
The sharp dragon claws knocked on the rock under him, and tiny broken stones flew out.
"That's right, Your Majesty. Do you want to attack the manticore?”
Chris looked a little excited.
He had long wanted to take revenge on those manticore lions.
Back then, not only did they scare him, but they also scared Princess Gwendolyn. They all deserved to die!
" Let's go and take a look. Currently, there's only one flying unit in the Ximu clan, the Forest Eagle."
Ximu wanted to see if he could subdue the manticore.
The Giant Forest Eagle was still useful in the past, but with the development of the future, just the Giant Forest Eagle was definitely not enough.
He had to recruit other flying demons.
A powerful creature like the manticore was very suitable.
"I understand what you mean, Your Majesty! Please allow me to…"
"No, Chris, you stay here this time. I will personally lead the forest eagles to take a look at the manticore.”
Ximu interrupted Chris.
He knew Chris wanted to go with him, but he refused.
The reason was simple. Chris, a gnoll who could not fly, would not be of any help even if he went. Instead, he would slow down his progress.
It was good enough to have the giant forest eagle accompany him on this matter.
