Chapter 44: A loud invasion
Third brother I dont have any opinions if you want to vent your desires however dont dawdle over important business! If you dont change this character of yours you will one day end up dying on the belly of a woman! A troll who was sitting on the other end of the tent while wearing a set of firm cloth armor knitted his brows. Its tone had carried a trace of reproach in its voice.
Sigh! Second brother! Its not like youre unaware that we have stayed in this godforsaken place for almost 3 months now! And yet you wont allow me to see some action! All I do the entire day besides eating is sleeping! Who could tolerate this? The third brother whose desires were clearly aroused suddenly grumbled in a helpless manner.
Sigh your ability isnt below me or big brother but your personality is just Nevermind forget it. Ill allow you to cast your inhibitions aside and enjoy tomorrow. Our informant reported that the defense of the humans border town is loosening and that its only variable had left the town. Do you understand what I mean?
Ohhhh?! Is second brother trying to say that the time has arrived?? The third brother who had been indistinctly glaring at the area near the cat-eared girls chest had instantly perked up. His large creased face was filled with excitement and bloodlust.
Thats right.
Thats great!! Its already been 3 months since my ax spilled blood! I have long since wanted to chop down a few humans and have some fun with them! The third brother was happily making some threatening gestures.
You better not screw it up! Whether we succeed or fail will depend on how we do this. This will affect whether the three months we stayed in this forsaken place is worth it or not remember the expectations the chieftain has on me He said as he looked at his third brother in his family and the extremely impatient demeanor he possessed the troll slowly heaved a sigh.
I got it! While Im no good at being in charge have I ever let big brother and you down in slaughtering? Just be at ease and leave it to me! Ill be the vanguard and lead the soldiers onwards! The third brother of the trolls was filled with excitement as he waved his arm.
Mhm but we have to be discreet in tomorrows operation. We need to shut down that damned barrier The informant already told us about the maintenance period that the sacred barrier will be experiencing during that time-frame it would be intermittently down. When the time comes he will open the city gate. We will send a small team inside to destroy the core of the barrier after which the slaughter can begin. The second brother narrowed his eyes.
Eh? That troublesome? Why dont we simply take advantage of this timing to send our soldiers into the town wouldnt that be better? Why do we have to go through this much trouble? The third brother puckered his mouth in a somewhat discontented manner.
That wont do. Let me warn you first youd better not act recklessly! If the city gates are wide open for too long it would attract too much attention. At that time our insiders identity would be exposed. The value that this insider has given us isnt as small as simply occupying a border town Rather than braving the risk of exposure why dont we pretend that we were just launching a simple siege? We can even push the fault of the city gates opening to the dark knights The smile of the second brother gradually turned into an extremely sinister one.
Oh! I understand! So second brother youll assign me to lead the infiltration team tonight right? The third brother moved his head closer to his second brother eagerly as he said this.
Thats out of the question. The way you handle things is too rash and careless. I already have a candidate in mind for tonights operation. The second brother shook his head back and forth and with raised eyebrows.
Ah? You couldnt possibly mean the blockhead fourth brother right? The third brother was slightly stunned.
Save that until you can defeat the fourth brother. In the battle of Long Mound your fourth brother single-handedly fought 4 gold knights and 17 silver knights all while not falling behind. Despite being in a disadvantageous situation he had even captured 5 silver knights alive. When can you achieve such an accomplishment? The second brother narrowed its eyes as he countered his question with another one.
Tch Thats only because it wasnt me on the scene back then. The human troops were so weak that it would collapse at the single blow. Fourth brother was just lucky to have gotten such a bargain thats all The third brother cast his head aside and muttered in a stubborn manner.
Alright hurry up and rest now. If the operation goes well tonight we will launch an offensive tomorrow.
Tch theres no role for me again The third brother of the trolls puckered its lips in an extremely dissatisfied manner. He then directed his cruel gaze towards the cat-eared girls that were kneeling shivering and lowering their heads in the ground.
It was very evident that he wanted a medium to release his resentment and anger.
Oh thats right. Third brother I recall you saying that a small kitten ran away?
Yes! That kitten was simply the highest grade! I didnt expect that it would actually run away Hmph! If your father catches her in the cities you can see how Im going to sort her out! As he thought up to this point the third brother ferociously spat out a mouthful of phlegm. He didnt tarry any longer and directly grabbed a cat-eared girl the latter was bitterly begging for mercy while she was dragged into the tent. The other Asiatic cat-eared girls that were kneeling on the ground were all scared silent. As they saw the crying tear-stained face of their female brethren they knew that they would never be able to see her the next day.
Seriously why did they arrange for me to go shopping with you? Ji Bai who was walking ahead with his hands in his pockets grumbled resentfully.
This is the punishment chosen for us. If possible I also wouldnt want to travel together with a cockroach just when I finished my dinner She responded as she slowly walked behind Ji Bais back. Lin raised her eyebrows and took out a note that was filled with handwriting she seriously examined it.
There arent enough vegetables. We need to go to the food market first.
Why do I have to listen to you? Ji Bai ostentatiously turned his head and asked.
I didnt say that you have to come with me. Its up to you whether you want to follow. After she finished Lin didnt look at Ji Bai as she minded her business and walked ahead.
Tch!
Here you hold this for now. Lin wore a pair of woolen hand gloves as she passed a sack full of bok choy and spinach onto Ji Bai.
Huh? Should I just obediently carry it because you said so? Why should it be me in the first place? Ji Bai had a face of scorn plastered all over him.
Thats because youre a male. For the time being at least After Lin stared at Ji Bai for a moment she opened her mouth and said this.
Hey! What do you mean by for the time being?! Do you believe I wont peel your skin off with a knife if you dont explain it clearly? Ji Bai subconsciously took over the food basket and wished to continue the argument and yet Lin turned her body and left leaving empty air in her stead instead.
Next up we need to get an assortment of raw materials Lin didnt even look at Ji Bai as she said this.
Did this female parasite really regard me as some sort of free labor? The edge of Ji Bais mouth twitched several times.
Before he could raise his legs and go after her a crisp clear and ear-shaking boom resounded. The two who were haggling and conducting a business transaction just moments ago had unconditionally laid on their stomach. A series of minute cracks began to show on the spotlessly white ceramic roof
