In the wastelands of the Rhein Empire, a fleet of dragon-carts was racing along the highway. Although the highway had been repaired, the Rhein Empire's current economic situation meant that there were very few people who could afford magic-powered cars. Moreover, Ellington's production capacity hadn't been expanded yet, so there weren't any extra goods to supply the market here. Therefore, ever since the highway was built, there weren't many locals other than the merchant guilds from the Irus Empire. The wide road was completely free for them to run as they pleased.
"Although I don't want to admit it, building this highway is one of the few things humans have done well."
Aston couldn't help but sigh as he sat in the dragon-carts. A journey that would've taken days only needed two to three days to reach their destination after the highway was built. It was so much more convenient.
"It's a pity that the secondary highway hasn't been built from Bloodshadow Town to our headquarters. That's where the real torture is. These humans and goblins are despicable. They clearly have such convenient technology, but they don't do it in one go. They must be deliberately tricking us orcs. "
Aston sneered. "Just you wait. When our leader rules this world, we'll make those humans and goblins build roads every day until everything is fixed. They're only fit to be controlled by us and do manual labor. Don't you think I'm right? This … Sir Nobodi? "
Tang En, who was sitting across from Aston, was trembling. After a moment's hesitation, he whispered, "It's not that we humans don't want to build secondary highways as soon as possible. It's just that we have limited labor right now, and the materials needed to pave roads are limited as well. That's why we can only prioritize the main roads. I think we'll consider building secondary highways after the main roads are completely paved."
"Shut up! You despicable human! Put away your flowery words. We won't be deceived like the others! "
"Silence."
Aston stopped the others from cursing. He raised an eyebrow and said, "You seem to know a lot about this, don't you?"
"That, that's because …"
Tang En looked up at him timidly. "Before I came here to look for Vanilla, I worked at the Datang Chamber of Commerce."
"Haha, I didn't think you'd be an employee of that chamber of commerce."
Aston had a mocking look on his face. "Your chairman, the current Regent of the Ilrus Empire, Twain, has caused our Rhein Empire to suffer greatly … Tell me, when the time comes, should we burn him at the stake or hang him to death? Or should we leave his corpse in the wilderness? "
"No! You can't win against him! "
Tang En roared excitedly, "He is invincible! He's the wisest King! You rascals have no right to be compared to Him! "
Coco and Vanilla, who were imprisoned in the back, couldn't help but roll their eyes. They'd seen shameless people before, but they'd never seen someone so shameless. He actually didn't blush at all when he was praised like that?
Aston was well aware of the protective feelings humans had toward the leaders they worshipped. Seeing Aston like this, he became even more pleased. Foolish fellow, you have no idea what kind of power our great leader possesses. Once you see him, kneel down and lick his toes, begging for his mercy. Perhaps he will spare your life on account of the opportunity you brought to us, allowing you to see the day when the human nation is destroyed. Aston thought to himself, Aston thought to himself.
"Hmph!"
Tang En snorted coldly and ignored Aston. He played the role of an angry human to the fullest.
Soon, the sky darkened. The convoy left the highway and stopped beside a forest. After tying up Tang En, they left some people to watch over the hostages while the others went out to hunt for dinner.
Noticing the people lighting a bonfire in the distance, Vanilla whispered to Tang En to come over. He then said a little angrily, "I say, can't you take the opportunity to get some useful information out of him while he's talking? For example, where is their headquarters? How many people do they have? "
"Are you stupid?"
Tang En looked at Vanilla as if he was looking at Yaya … Er, as if he was looking at an idiot. "How could such information be leaked so casually? And didn't you hear what he said? We're going to be taken directly to the headquarters to see Aneurin! And that Aneurin probably has some kind of great power. That's why they feel like they can overthrow the regime and establish themselves as kings. "
In fact, it was already very surprising that they could get this information on the way here. The bigger surprise was that they could see Aneurin directly. As long as they quietly waited to see him and then killed him. After that, they would eliminate the stubborn extremists. The remaining weak-willed outer circle members would probably be dealt with by Testero in no time.
"But it's very uncomfortable to be tied up like this!"
"Bear with it a little longer …"
"Why do I feel like you're very happy to see us tied up?"
"Am I? It's an illusion, it must be an illusion! I promise that when we get there, you'll kill this guy with your own hands, okay? "
"That's more like it!"
"Shh, quiet … They're back!"
When Coco reminded them, Tang En and Vanilla immediately shut their mouths.
The people who went out to hunt dragged a few large magical beasts back.
"Shador again … It's rare for us to come out, can't we eat something else?"
"It's good enough that we have something to eat, don't be picky."
"But I want to eat fatty meat … The meat of these magical beasts is too thin, it's not fragrant at all."
"Don't worry, the Shador here is fatter than the ones around the headquarters. There's definitely a lot of oil."
Due to the pressure of survival, the magical beasts in Prandal had to be in a constant state of movement, so their meat was very dense and there was very little fat. Fat was the rarer part of the meat, and animal fat was more expensive. Even the citizens of the Irus Empire didn't necessarily have the chance to eat animal fat, let alone the poorer Ryan Empire.
Tang En listened attentively to their conversation, trying to analyze some useful information from it. However, their conversation seemed to be revolving around dinner, so he could not analyze anything.
At this time, Tang En noticed Vanilla's gaze and quietly moved closer.
Vanilla whispered, "Shador is a low-level magical beast commonly seen in the jungles in the northeast of Ryan Empire. It eats plant roots as its food, and its average strength is around grade 1 or 2. It's very fertile and has good meat, so it's often hunted. It's a good source of meat."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. Beauty, I don't want to listen to you talk about magical beasts. Can you get to the point?
"You idiot!"
Vanilla panicked. "Bloodshadow Town is in the northeast of Ryan Empire, but most of the area around it is barren. There are only jungles near Gorgalon Crater in the southeast!"
Tang En was stunned, but he immediately understood what Vanilla meant.
As a magical beast that ate plant roots as its food, Shador would only appear in jungles. However, only jungles existed in the southeast of Bloodshadow Town. These people often ate Shador, and even had Shador in their headquarters. This meant that their headquarters was located in the southeast of Bloodshadow Town.
After thinking it through, Tang En quietly took out his phone and quickly sent a message. He then put away his phone and nodded at Coco and Vanilla.
"Lowly human, come and eat!"
Aston shouted. After Tang En carried Winette over, Aston threw the roasted magical beast meat on the ground with a hungry smile. He then stomped on it a few times and said, "This is your dinner tonight. Don't thank me, at least I roasted it for you. Hahahaha …"
Aston's actions immediately caused a series of laughter. Amidst their laughter, Tang En angrily turned around and curled up under a tree, sleeping next to the two saintesses.
"This guy would rather sleep next to the saintesses than eat!"
"Hahahaha, this means that our saintesses are very skilled and charming!"
"Not eating? That means you're not hungry enough. "
Aston happily said, "It's good to have a backbone, but … this only makes me look forward to seeing you crying and begging me to reward you with food when you're so hungry that you can't walk anymore!"
The surrounding Orcs roared with laughter again. Aston saw Twain, who was cowering under the tree, tremble, as if he was scared out of his wits. Satisfied, Aston bit off a large piece of hot roasted meat and swallowed it. Then, he repeated the same trick and tried to insult Coco and Vanilla.
Of course, they didn't eat the trampled meat either.
Aston knew that it had only been a day. He could still endure the hunger since Coco and Vanilla were powerful saintesses. But what about that human? He could endure it for one day, but what about the second day and the third? What about his younger daughter?
Soon, they would bow to him and beg for mercy …
Aston's eyes shone with a green light. That moment would be wonderful …
Meanwhile, in the palace of New Bul-Kathos.
Testero's phone suddenly rang. Testero, who was talking to someone else, looked at the screen and his eyes lit up. "There's news!"
Sitting opposite him, Pope Ymir XXIII of the Vulcan Church immediately asked, "Where is it from? Razor Tooth? Or Lord Tang En? "
"It's Tang En — No, wait! There's more news! There's progress on both sides! "
Testero looked at the screen in surprise and couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly … The cultists who infiltrated the airships have all been captured and are now returning. Lord Tang En's side is also going well. The cult's headquarters is southeast of Bloodshadow Town. The exact location isn't clear, but it's said that they can see Aneurin directly. He told us not to rush into action and to clean up Bloodshadow Town after they enter the headquarters."
"I'll have the Red Lotus Knights prepare and surround the place in advance," Ymir XXIII said coldly.
Emir XXIII coldly said, "That bastard Aneurin … will definitely not let that blasphemer escape this time!"
