Chapter 1810: Chapter 1810
On this day, the leader of the Fox People found the Kobold commander and hesitantly said, "You have executed your task very well and have adhered to the rules, but we are a bit worried that you might be hired to attack us."
The commander replied without hesitation, "If someone hires us at the right price, of course, we will."
This made the Fox People even more uneasy, as the hiring fee for these people was indeed not high.
"Moreover, if hired by someone, as the opposing side, our empire will not accept hiring again."
That is to say, whoever moves faster can gain their assistance. "Isn’t there any other way?" The Fox People are quite weak, even though their ritualistic power is not weak.
However, this group is not a powerful race; the fact they came to this remote place explains it.
To speak directly about their concerns, it’s also because these Fox People don’t mind, as their weakness is well-known. No matter how much they try to hide, this situation is impossible to conceal.
Although the boarmen were defeated, they still had some remnants. The most crucial point is, with so many years of accumulation, the boarmen are much wealthier than they are. If the boarmen want revenge, what should they do?
Having such a convenient mercenary team made them uneasy at heart.
The Kobold commander thought for a moment, then said, "If you want to solve this problem, there is a way."
"What, what way?" Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Fox People leader suddenly lit up.
"The method is simple: if you can find stray Kobolds, you can have them settle nearby. At that time, you can permanently hire some of us to settle here. Then, we will do our utmost to help you in battle. Until the employment relationship is terminated, any enemy of yours is our enemy."
The Kobold commander added, "Even if someone from within the empire accepts employment to attack, we will help because by then, we can no longer be considered part of the empire."
"Why do you want to do this? If many people do this, wouldn’t it be bad for you?"
"No, we are doing this to help more of our kin develop together." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
The Fox People were moved; truly a selfless race! They didn’t expect their Divine Spirit to be . If only their Divine Spirit were , but unfortunately, there was never a chance.
The first Fox People to receive the news, after tasting the benefits, went to find the wandering Kobolds right away. Because there were indeed too many Kobolds, the Fox People could easily locate them in such a scenario.
After explaining the situation, these Kobolds came to the Fox People tribe. Nearby, there was already territory purchased by the Kobolds. Then, they chose to accept the long-term employment of the Fox People tribe.
After a payment was credited, the Kobold army stationed themselves here.
The boarmen who initially wanted revenge suddenly found that the Kobolds hadn’t left, and were filled with perplexity. Their original plans became cautious, and the boarmen began probing in secret.
Upon discovering the situation, they were also incredulous—what was going on?
However, consequently, the boarmen had no choice but to do the same. Having been severely weakened after their defeat, and having offended many in the past while accumulating a lot of wealth, the boarmen were also surrounded by many enemies watching closely.
To avoid being annihilated, the boarmen directly took out some wealth and hired a batch of Kobolds, just as the Fox People had done.
The price was actually quite cheap. For this permanent employment, first, they needed to shelter some Kobolds, then allocate a piece of land, and nothing more was required. Each time they needed them to fight, they would pay a hiring fee again, and they would dispatch forces based on the fee to assist in battle.
That is to say, as long as there was no combat, not a penny needed to be spent. Moreover, with a large force stationed around, it would also create a deterrent, making others dare not act rashly.
Initially, everyone worried whether the Kobolds would use this method to expand, but after realizing they had no such intent, everyone gradually let down their guard.
Because of this situation, more and more people opted for permanent hiring.
At this moment, the upper class of the Werewolf Empire gathered once more. The Wolf King said with a strange face, "What exactly are these Kobolds doing, spreading their forces out , not keeping them for themselves?"
"It’s said to protect more of the Kobolds."
The leader was even more puzzled, "Protect the Kobolds? Such an approach is truly unexpected. The military strength of the country will keep weakening. If one day they face a powerful enemy, they might not be able to stop it. Do they really think having just one tier seven is enough? However, as long as the tier seven doesn’t fall, they indeed won’t be in danger, that’s true."
Once the tier seven falls, no matter how much power remains, it’s useless because tier seven and below are entirely different.
Yet this approach they still dare not agree with; without a large number of powerhouses and armies, the empire’s strength will gradually weaken. This weakening cannot be changed even with a tier seven powerhouse to support it.
Whether this is helping the tribe or self-destruction, no one can say for sure.
At the empire level, at most there are tier seven powerhouses, and their Werewolf Empire has five. Over on the Kobold side, although they only have two, looking at high-end combat power, it’s already pretty good.
He was unaware of how many Du You hid, so they also began to consider.
"As long as land is given, and ordinary Kobolds are taken in, no additional expenses are required, and you can also trade with them. They will take care of their own food needs, so perhaps the costs might be even less."
The others’ eyes lit up, "Your Majesty means we should also hire some Kobolds? Calculated at the current price, it’s indeed very cost-effective. What if we directly hire a tier seven Kobold?"
"Great idea, disperse their strength while enhancing our own. If they refuse, their reputation will be ruined, if they agree, even better." They finally thought of a way to curb the growth of Kobold power. Let these guys keep developing, how will we manage? They certainly don’t want to one day be subordinated to the Kobolds.
The upper class of the Werewolf Empire exchanged smiles, seemingly finding a good way to curb the Kobolds, and then everyone started taking action.
