Chapter 440: Two Guys Regretting So Deeply Their Guts Are Green!
"Continue setting another fire?" Minister Weilade and Solit instantly froze, unable to believe their ears.
"Exactly, this small favor, I'm sure the two of you won't refuse? After all, we are friends now!" The Beast King's lips curled slightly, his face full of smiles.
Yet, this smile made the two of them shiver all over.
If it was just secretly selling some intelligence to the Beastmen and ambushing a minor noble like Gervas, in their eyes, there was no risk.
Once the matter was over, it would end, and no one would pay attention.
But if it was helping the Beastmen set fire to the army's grain supplies, causing the army to lose the battle.
Then it would be different.
Because the Kingdom would definitely investigate strictly.
If they really found even a single trace, then they would be doomed.
"Your Majesty the Beast King, this matter is simply too grave; we are truly unable to help you!"
"Yes! Your Majesty the Beast King, although we very much want to help, the grain supplies of the army within the city are now guarded so strictly that no one can approach easily, let alone set fire!"
"Therefore, Your Majesty the Beast King, please understand, we truly cannot accomplish this!"
The two did not hesitate and directly refused the Beast King's proposal.
Because the risks involved were absolutely not something the two wanted to bear.
Of course, the matter had already reached this point; obviously, it was not something they could refuse just because they wanted to.
"Danger? The two of you please rest assured, I definitely will not let you take risks! I will arrange personnel to cooperate with you!"
"At that time, when you act, someone will choose a suitable moment to create chaos and attract attention."
"And you can take the opportunity to set fire; it is just that simple!"
"Just that simple?" Minister Weilade and Solit cursed in their hearts; this Beast King was shameless.
Could he not see the true thoughts of the two of them?
Of course, on the surface, the two still dared not turn against him.
"Your Majesty the Beast King, if we set fire, afterwards the Kingdom will probably be able to find us very easily; at that time we will be doomed, so, please be kind and spare us this once!"
"Yes! Your Majesty the Beast King, can you find someone else to set fire? We really cannot do it!"
"So, the two of you definitely will not help me with this small favor?" The Beast King's face immediately darkened.
Although Minister Weilade and Solit were afraid, they still chose to respond with silence.
Seeing this, the Beast King suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Since that is the case, then I will not force you, and moreover, I said, today you are also my guests!"
"Then I will also guarantee your safety; after the banquet ends later, I will let you return safely!"
Minister Weilade and Solit were incredulous, both overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Beast King!"
Of course, the two obviously overestimated the Beast King's benevolence, because the Beast King's words were not yet finished.
At that very moment, the Beast King suddenly smiled and said: "Of course, today I can guarantee that the two of you will return safely, but after tomorrow, I cannot guarantee that the matter of the two of you leaking news about Nail and Gervas to us will not spread throughout Lindongcheng!"
The joyful expressions on Minister Weilade and Solit's faces instantly froze, "Your Majesty the Beast King, are you forcing us?"
"Hehe! The two of you, I am not forcing you; if you want to survive this time within Lindongcheng, then you definitely must do some things for me!"
"Otherwise, for no reason, why should I guarantee you live?"
"But Your Majesty the Beast King, we previously informed you about the news regarding Nail and that Gervas, and a few days ago you also promised to guarantee our safety..."
"I promised after eliminating that Gervas, but now that Gervas is not only not dead, but also caused me to lose more than a thousand Beastmen warriors!"
"Therefore, I not seeking accounts from the two of you is already benevolent!"
Minister Weilade and Solit secretly hated in their hearts.
These Beastmen were stupid and incompetent themselves, yet blamed the two of them.
And they also extremely regretted cooperating with these Beastmen.
These Beastmen were simply existences that ate people without spitting out bones.
"The two of you, how about it, have you considered it? Actually, this is really not dangerous!"
"Not only will there be people cooperating with you, but after Lindongcheng is breached, I will not let the humans go either, so afterwards, who will know that you set the fire?"
Was there still a choice?
Definitely no choice left.
"Your Majesty the Beast King, then you must guarantee our safety..."
"Very good! Rest assured! Being able to become friends with us Beastmen, you will become the luckiest among all the humans within Lindongcheng this time!"
Next, the atmosphere in the Beast King's large tent returned to harmony.
Minister Weilade and Solit knew there was no way back.
Thus, the two simply settled down to enjoy the beauties and delicacies provided by the Beastmen.
Until midnight, the two returned to the city.
"Your Majesty is wise; with these two humans as inside agents, we will defeat the humans within Lindongcheng even faster!"
As soon as Minister Weilade and Solit left, Morar and other Beastmen could not help but praise the Beast King.
The Beast King was in high spirits, "Haha! This is the favor of Lord Beast God, actually sending us two guys whose identities are not high but who can access the core of the humans!"
"By the way, since the plan within Lindongcheng is confirmed, but the timing to act within the city still needs to wait; taking advantage of these two or three days, that fellow named Gervas at Baron Kale's castle must also be dealt with first!"
"This mission, I will still entrust to you, Morar; I give you five Shaman Priests, ten thousand Beastmen warriors, ten thousand servant army troops, and ten Bloodthirsty Bat Knights; Morar, can you complete the mission?"
Hearing the troops the Beast King gave, where was there even a shred of hesitation in Morar? "Your Majesty the Beast King, this humble one will definitely bring the heads of those two-legged sheep to see you!"
"Very good! Then set out tomorrow morning, go quickly and return quickly! My beloved concubine Wang Fei Sukama has reached the time of childbirth; I want to finish dealing with these two-legged sheep before the birth of my ninth son! To celebrate its birth!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Beast King!"
【Ding! Daily intelligence has refreshed!】
【Intelligence Report One: The food crisis in Winterhold has escalated to a critical point; the nobles can now only eat bread mixed with coarse bran.
The soldiers are in an even worse state; unless they happen to be on duty, they can eat only half a fist-sized loaf of black bread and a bowl of vegetable leaf soup per day.】
【Intelligence Report Two: Moral has already led the retreating forces back to the outskirts of Winterhold.
Upon learning the situation, the Beast King flew into a rage and simultaneously suspected whether this was truly a human scheme.
Thus, the Beast King set a trap to lure Minister Weilade and Solit out of the city.
Minister Weilade and Solit fell for it and were tricked into leaving the city.
Fortunately, the two managed to clear their suspicions slightly through explanation!】
【Intelligence Report Three: Of course, although their suspicions were cleared, their contact with the orcs was nothing but making a pact with a tiger.
The Beast King lured the two out of the city not only to confirm whether they had been schemed against by the two.
He had long since devised a plan to use the two to accelerate the destruction of the human army.
That plan was to have the two act as inside agents to set fire and burn the human army's last remaining food supplies.
Under the Beast King's threats, the two could only submit.】
