Chapter 258: Chapter 45 - Confident and Unruffled_4

"Here’s some more unfortunate news; these Green Demon and Salt Demon robbers have now enlisted the services of shamanic wizards that can use the Bloodlust spell." Liu Zhenhan threw out another bombshell.

"Robbers have shamanic wizards?" cries of shock filled the room.

"History repeats itself..." Elder Andulan from the Damai tribe murmured.

"I agree with your estimation, Elder Andulan. This is probably a resurgence of the desert robbers banding together, trying to expel hill dwarves from Donau Wasteland just like before, to drive or wipe us out from here." Liu Zhenhan stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed.

"What about human mercenaries? And how are our Deer Tribe’s Musketeers doing?" Helen asked.

"The human mercenaries suffered significant losses and subsequently surrendered but, oddly enough, those robbers let them go. I can’t figure out why. Do not worry, the Musketeers are safe. They didn’t participate in the fight, none of them were injured. Based on the lifestyle of ogres and their close kin described in the "Ceremonial Code", these Musketeers will become food for the Salt Demons and Green Demons. However, they won’t kill their food before mealtime and plan on carrying it on their shoulders. The robbers also took numerous bodies of the dead human mercenaries. Even if they are hungry, they wouldn’t eat the Musketeers first. Relax about this for now." Liu Zhenhan chuckled.

"We need to request reinforcements from outside! Richard! It’s terrifying when robbers unite, especially when these robbers have shamanic wizards and disgustingly dangerous goblin tribe from Razor Mountain raising giant beasts." Cui Beixi said with a solemn expression.

"No need!" Liu Zhenhan waved at the beautiful snake: "Mentor ma’am, I have come all this way to specifically report this to you. In the future, we will soon face large-scale suppression of bandits in Faelor. I don’t need outward support. Actually, any assistance requested would be futile as the nearest station is at least a hundred miles away. What would we do by getting them in? Wait for the response from the provincial military command? Would we wait for them to cross the Sanggan River, and then count the number of our slaves? Moreover, if we call for reinforcements, isn’t it the perfect excuse for the temple to transfer Helen away because the situation here is unsafe? The robbers are moving slowly with slaves and loot, they have a travel plan to pass near Red Earth Highland and the Wasteland of Trolls to reach Razor Mountain. I would ambush them there and catch them off guard!"

"The enemy comprises fifteen hundred valiant Green Demons and Salt Demons along with shamanic wizards. I will join you." Cui Beixi declared.

"This mission is akin to using a butcher’s clever to kill a chicken, half of our militia are more than enough to handle it. We don’t need our Sub-dragon priestess to step in this time, you can just wait at home for our news. Now that the robbers have joined together, you will have more busy days ahead." Liu Zhenhan smiled.

"What makes you so confident?" Cui Beixi looked at Liu Zhenhan.

"Why shouldn’t I have confidence in my duty as a dragon priest?" Liu Zhenhan laughed and turned to the hippopotami, "Take half an hour to return to the water, freshen up your skin, take a bath, and have breakfast."

"You two stay." Liu Zhenhan told Ning Yu and Avril, "After this, you will have nightmares for a lifetime."
