Within the Human’s refugee camp, I greeted Bia who was serving to Leticia put some bandages on the elven warriors who had fought the battle.

“Good day, Bia. How is every part holding up?”

“Plate!? Weren’t you eaten by thunder wolves!?”

“Who mentioned that!?”

“Jack did!”

“And who’s Jack?”

“My boyfriend! The skinny man who stayed prisoner in your cave for nearly every week.”

“Oh!!! The silent scout man with harmful eyes!”

“He is not a scout, he’s a hunter.”

“That is just about the identical to me.”

“…”

“OK, OK, sorry. What I imply is that good hunters make good scouts, that is all.”

“Good! Now inform us why do you honor us along with your presence?”

“Why the sarcasm?”

“Cannot you see we’re busy right here? Each time you come you convey us much more work! At the least allow us to relaxation for a bit and heal our wounds!”

“Ha…. Do you suppose I’ve a selection? Sure, we received this battle, however the Struggle is much from over and contemplating how they’re deploying their troops I concern we are able to anticipate a good greater military subsequent time.”

Bia went pale on the information.

“Are you positive?”

“No, however I can solely consider two prospects: Both they offer up this place or they ship much more individuals after us. Have you ever ever heard of orcs giving up?”

“…”

“I ought to have taken a glance exterior however I think about they already retreated. After they return they are going to inform the upper ups not solely their failure but in addition all their findings. The traps we’ve now will not be efficient and they’ll know that we’ve a protection robust sufficient to carry off a whole lot of invaders. So, perhaps they are going to ship a thousand troops subsequent time.”

“T-T-T-Thousand orcs!? How can we survive that!?”

“I do not know, however simply licking our wounds and combating amongst ourselves will not resolve something. That is why I would like everyone’s assist, your assist included.”

“Haa… I perceive. What can I do for you?”

“First, are you aware the numbers of this final battle?”

“Numbers?”

“Yeah, what number of died and such.”

“Hmm. I heard from the elves that 16 out of 48 died and apart 4 of them who have been fortunate, all others took some injury various from some mild cuts to having their arms or legs lower off. There are 8 closely wounded that may die at any second, however Leticia already handled them so so long as they do not die, they need to be capable of absolutely get well…”

“These whose members have been lower off, will they get well?”

“Fortunately Leticia has some elixir left, so regrowing them is feasible. However we are going to want some fee later to purchase new elixirs within the Metropolis.”

“That is no drawback. How a lot do they value?”

“100 golden cash every, plus transportation value and taxes.”

“How a lot is that in diamonds?”

“Hmm… about 10 or 11 gems.”

I’ve a faint feeling that she is tricking me, however I’ll let this move this time.

So, what was that once more? 48 elves, 16 lifeless, 4 are fantastic and eight are in vital circumstances?

Rattling, this report is a large number!

Let’s attempt to summarize it…

“OK, so we’ve 16 lifeless, 8 closely wounded, 20 evenly wounded and 4 completely fantastic?”

“That is proper. However that is simply the elves. We additionally received 20 wounded warriors on our facet.”

“Any deaths?”

“Are you attempting to curse us?”

“No, simply…neglect it. So, except for the wounded, what number of are fantastic?”

“5.”

“All proper. I am planning on constructing a coaching camp for the soldiers, what do you suppose?”

“That might be nice. It will give John one thing to do as an alternative of simply sleeping all day.”

“John?”

“…The one you name Berserker.”

“Oh! That massive man!”

“Plate, you need to significantly attempt to bear in mind their identify! This might be mandatory if you will lead us all.”

“Wait!? What??”

“Elves and People are just about the identical factor, proper? Since you will lead the elves, you would possibly as nicely lead us too. A centralized management may even enhance our unity and make us battle higher.”

I put my hand in my brow, massaging it in round motions.

Rattling, it will give me a head ache!

After which I hear Bia saying in a very low voice.

“And should you take my place I’ll lastly be capable of calm down.”

“What was that!?”

Bia’s face turned pink and she or he denied in panic.

“Nothing! I did not say something! You have to be imagining!”

I see, so that is only a plan so she will be able to push her obligations to me!

Nicely, however I will not fall that simple…

“OK, I’ll take into account. However even when I take the lead, I may even elect a proxy to deal with the minor issues, precisely like I did on the elves. So, if that occurs, don’t be concerned, I will not neglect about you.”

Understanding that her plan had failed, Bia despair for a second.

“No!!!!!!!!!!! Neglect about me! Please do neglect about me! Proper this prompt!”

Heheh… Neglect it! I am not happening alone! Since it is your thought, you shall include me!

“All proper, subsequent matter.”

“Wait a second. Let’s negotiate!”

“Not listening!”

“However!”

“I’ll summon a Blacksmith. He’ll keep within the room close to the steps.”

Bia lastly provides up and asks.

“…Sigh…Which room?…”

“The one I am gonna make.”

“…Ohh…”

“Anyway, whereas the Struggle continues I’ll have him work without cost. So ask for him for something you want.”

“All proper! I am unable to wait to ask for an exquisite crystal sword and armor!”

“That might be cool however the place would you get the fabric… HEY WAIT! The work is free however the supplies will not be! You must present the fabric, all proper?”

Bia clicked her tongue and whereas trying away she grumbled:

“…cash grubber…”

Sigh…

That was shut…

I virtually sacrificed all my sources for nothing.

“All proper, final matter for now.”

“There’s extra!?”

“In fact! You requested for extra work, so how may I’m going away with out supplying you with what you requested for?”

“There is no such thing as a want. I’m glad with out it. I received sufficient in my fingers!”

“Too late. I would like you to job somebody to feed the canines and alter their water as nicely.”

“Canines? … You imply the wolfs? Are you loopy? How can a traditional individual take care of these monsters!?”

“Earlier than this your children have been fortunately taking part in with it, giving it meals and all.”

“However that one was sort and cute, not a bloody fanged thunder discharging monsters who can kill Orcs with a single chunk within the neck!”

“They’re all the identical.”

“However after the battle, once we tried to retrieve you, they tried to kill us too!”

“Hmm, that is solely as a result of I by no means ordered them to behave earlier than. They did not know should you have been an ally or an enemy.”

“No, Plate, it has nothing to do with ally or enemy! They have been us like we have been meals!”

“Haaa…. Don’t be concerned, it will not occur once more, I informed them to behave themselves.”

“And also you suppose that might be sufficient?”

“Time will inform.”

“No, no, no! I am unable to threat individuals’s lives with this! Summon one thing and have it deal with it your self! I’ll even provide you with sources should you want!”

“All proper! I’ll comeback to you once I determine on what to summon!”

Earlier than Bia may perceive what she simply promised, I run away to the Dungeon Core.

Time to summon a Blacksmith!
