Chapter 358: Chapter 207: The Goblin Clan Wants to Take a Gamble

Seeing the disbelief on Mills’ face, Victor continued, "Clan Leader, I’m serious. I was summoned to their territory by a special building in Hope Village. The time I spent in Hope Village were the most relaxed days of my entire life..."

Victor began recounting his past experiences and his life in Hope Village with the simplest of words.

Each word was like a precious gem, deeply embedding itself into Mills’ heart.

Could the Human Territories really be as good as the other party claims?

"Actually, the one who led the team that day was our village chief. They already knew of your location, but feared that suddenly appearing would scare you, so they chose to leave first. Before leaving, they left quite a few things for you." These things, Victor had learned from the soldiers who arrived this time.

Of course, letting him know was also a way for them to show reassurance, to see their village chief’s "kindness."

Mills listened, his mouth stiffening in a wry smile.

Not only had those humans found their main camp, the things they’d obtained were also intentionally left behind...

If the other side had even a hint of malice, and tampered with those items, their entire group of goblins might have been done for.

Although his emotions told him not to trust, his reason also told him something: these humans perhaps bore them no malice.

After all, knowing their location, with the strength of their team that night, taking them down would have been very simple, so much so that they didn’t take action that night, and it would have been easy to send several hundred professionals afterwards. But they did not, and instead sent two of their own to persuade them.

But even so, leading his people to live in Human Territories was like placing their fates in someone else’s hands, something he was not willing to do!

Thinking this, Mills said, "Even if Hope Village is wonderful, it’s still not our home. If you truly have no malice, then please pretend you never saw us."

Of course, once they left, he planned to find a new gathering place immediately, and not leave a single trace for these humans to find.

Mills’ intentions were quickly guessed by Victor.

After a brief contemplation and a steady gaze, Victor said only this,

"Do you really want to lead your people to live a life of constant displacement, forever in hiding?"

Mills: "..."

He had to admit that these words hit him hard, striking precisely at the most vulnerable part of his heart.

For most of his life, he’d led his people in hiding, fleeing at the slightest rustle of the grass, and only thus had he kept his clan safe. But the bitterness of their escapes was unavoidable.

The images of those young ones looking lost resurfaced in his mind, and his heart soured.

Seemingly catching the change in Mills’ demeanor, Victor pressed on, "This Human Territory is truly different. As I said before, we’re there not as slaves, but as residents. The people of the territory don’t look down upon us, they even consider us friends, commend us. Fundamentally, they are different. Clan Leader, I’ve been through what you have, and if I hadn’t truly sensed their sincerity, why would I come to persuade you?"

"Human want us just for mining!" Mills couldn’t help but say.

"But in the past, our mining brought no income, we couldn’t eat well, we were oppressed, but in Hope Village, I have a daily wage that’s my own, allowing me to eat heartily within the territory. Even more, I can earn contribution points, and with enough contribution points, I can become an official part of the territory. There’s no shortage of Beastmen in Hope Village. You should have seen them that day! So many Beastmen have taken refuge in Hope Village. Even though Beastmen are fierce, they don’t have much stature in the Human Clan Kingdom. Their willingness to live in Human Territory to some extent proves Hope Village’s worth," Victor earnestly said, "The reason I invite you so sincerely is also because I hope our clan can gather strength in Hope Village. With this strength, we can shelter more of our kin who suffer outside, giving our clan a place to live in peace."

"Have you not considered it might be a trap? First, they win our trust, gradually gathering our people. When the time is right, they sell us for a good price, and by then, we’d truly be at their mercy," Mills continued.
