There are only around 120 skeletons and about 20 werewolves and elves acting as combatants inside the camp. Non-combatants include 50 jungle elves, about 60 werewolves, and several other outsiders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So detailed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morlock found it strange that his scout could so easily report on the inside of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because their camp isn't finished yet. There are no city walls for cover, so none of the outsiders inside could escape my 'Eagle Eye'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scout explained, but Morlock still felt something was off. While he hesitated, a short man beside him spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? My information is accurate. Most of their camp's fighters have already left. The ones inside are predominantly ordinary outsiders incapable of fighting. Isn't this exactly what you all are hoping for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the short man, morlock remained hesitant, but from the conversation, it was clear that this was a slave-hunting squad hunting outsiders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were many kinds of slave-hunting squads, most being small groups searching for solitary outsiders in the jungle—not very large-scale. But there were also exceptions, since the slave trade was so lucrative that no one could resist the temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, some mercenary groups had converted into slave-hunting squads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it: hunting monsters all day long would only net you a few dozen gold coins. But if you fought similar battles in the forest and captured outsiders, the gains would be far greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, if they hunted a level-2 monster, the average income was only 5 gold, and a level-3 monster fetched just 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the same effort, nab a werewolf, and the selling price reached 120 gold coins. Elves were worth even more: males started at 300 gold, and females fetched at least 50% more than that. Hunting monsters simply couldn't compare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, there were 70 werewolves and 60 elves here. If they added this up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be a fortune, a staggering income!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous profit rattled Morlock's reason. Although he'd done plenty of surprise raids on outsider camps before, he'd never encountered such a large camp before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god, over 130 outsiders—and most of them are the most sought-after werewolves and elves on the market...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, let's go for it! They only have some skeletons, and the outsiders' weapons can't compare to ours. If we strike first, this job is as good as done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Morlock, two squad leaders were flushed with excitement. Confronted with such enormous profits, their ability to think logically had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the short man behind the mask revealed a triumphant grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In any case, I've given you the information, and now you've confirmed it yourselves. Therefore, you need to pay my fee of 30 gold coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short man rubbed his hands. Morlock signaled to a subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, this is your payment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sack of gold was handed over. The short man took it and counted it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The amount is correct, so our transaction is finished. Until next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to leave, but a few men suddenly blocked his way. The short man turned to Morlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Morlock, what do you mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just telling you not to talk when you go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morlock warned him. The bigger the profit before him, the more cautious he became. Otherwise, he never could have led the 'White Blade Mercenary Group' to win a B+ grade mercenary badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. As an information broker, I have my professional code. Since I sold the intel to you, there won't be a third party hearing about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, then take your money and go. We won't see you off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking forward to our next cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short man, saying that, hurried away with his money once they let him pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him go, a squad leader sidled up to Morlock and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, this action is a major deal, so I suggest...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke while drawing a finger across his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you an idiot? This so-called 'Black Hat' info broker just left the tavern with us in full view. If you kill him now, who would dare sell us information in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... was thoughtless of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, get ready. Time to move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Morlock's command, everyone's eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, you mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This job—we're doing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morlock said, having just compared the combat strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side: 120 skeletons, 20 werewolves and elves. Here: 100 fully armed mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like they were at a numbers disadvantage, but don't forget, the enemy's main force was skeletons—that garbage-tier monster would be wiped out instantly by his mercenary group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had to worry about the elves and werewolves, and their numbers were not high. As soon as the battle started, victory would be his!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>130 outsiders—selling them to the big merchant guilds, even at wholesale price, would mean tens of thousands of gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wouldn't stop there. With so many outsiders, he could easily hold an auction, invite the big-shot nobles with more money than they could spend, and the coins would come flooding in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Delay brings trouble. Pass it down—everyone get ready. Move at nightfall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the order passed out, the mercenaries rubbed their hands in anticipation. As the sky darkened and the blizzard raged, morlock felt that even the heavens were helping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the short man didn't leave. He was covertly observing from afar, with a hawk perched on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by his skilled movements, it was obvious he was an old thief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupid humans—the moment they see gold their brains stop working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the 'Black Hat' mask, the short man gave a mocking smile. Watching the 'White Blade Mercenary Group' getting ready, he glanced over at the Darkmoon clan's camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was precisely thanks to these greedy humans that today's good show would unfold. He needed to report the intel to his 'master' right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the outcome of the coming battle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care. Given the current balance of power, even if Serea's subordinates survived, they'd be badly damaged. What would she have left to fight against him with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, black Hat slipped away. But he did not see that, after he left, another pair of eyes was watching the 'White Blade Mercenary Group.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people might not be able to spot the White Blade Mercenary Group, but the one hiding in the woods was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doluka's eyes shone as sharply as those of a snow leopard. In this jungle, every flower, leaf, and tree was a familiar companion, so no one could detect her hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because she had received Serea's orders that she was out here on a wide patrol. She hadn't expected to stumble upon this fully manned, Elite force of a hundred men as soon as she set out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're clearly lurking here to target the camp. I absolutely can't let them succeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Doluka immediately turned back. She had to make preparations right away and use the method taught to her by the Queen to deal with these humans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, an enemy captured the camp because of her mistake. This time, she would not be indecisive as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shame of failure—this time, she would wash it away herself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(To be continued...)\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-09T05:46:32.370Z",1,"novelbin.me","07d66d4c7ca7dbb37b82cead55b7bc4ed037b753df10572c4e65137677a94545","rebirth-in-another-world-as-the-undead-queen-chapter-190","rebirth-in-another-world-as-the-undead-queen-chapter-188",226,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-in-another-world-as-the-undead-queen-cover.jpg"]
