Chapter 1894 High Elves
But when he drank the last portion of his red wine, Kraft shook his head. "No, we actually do not need any of those. There seemed to be a High Elf Delegation coming to the adventurer's town to show their presence as well as demanding a toll to the High Elves."
"Huh? Toll to the High Elves? Who do they think they are?"
"Exactly, but the Goblins, Orcs, and Humans all had thought the same until the three races separately met the very same fate witnessing the High Elves punishing them. By showering tons of magic at their cities even though the groups of High Elves that came to 'punish' were a relatively small group."
"So I am guessing that if the High Elves saw that the new aspiring city does not have to give any tolls to the High Elf Kingdom plus we have Dark Elves in our midst."
"Hoo boy. This is World War Three we are talking about in their context. And I am suspecting they have that family of dwarves not just for fun but also as a reminder that the High Elves are superior and had taken out the technologically advanced dwarves. And they can keep a family in their Kingdom because they can."
"Why are the Orcs and Goblins fighting against each other when they have such an arrogant kingdom right above them?"
"Because if the Orcs were to take over the Goblins, they only needed to pay just that same one toll." Frost Echo came in as the System found that this situation would undoubtedly involve the Orcs and Goblins too.
"They do not just rain fire and lightning on us, those bastard High Elves will damage our environment with their spells and demanded the very same toll that had been asked of us. I believe this was to promote infighting or maybe even spilling it into the goblins."
"So, was that initial war against the Goblins because of this as well?" Jin questioned and Frost Echo shook his head.
"Partially yes, but not entirely. However when they first came, the Orcs and Goblins had such a major fall out, it prompted the two races to hate each other after that. This is why to see now that they are united, I do not wish for it to happen again. I am willing to pledge my Orcs for the cause as well."
"No, we are not going to do that." Kraft intervened in the conversation.
"We are going to let them rain hell and fire onto the new adventurer's town. Even if it means the death of precious Goblins, Orcs, and Humans."
"You want them to have a united front so that the three can all face the High Elves?" Frost Echo asked to see a bloody plan happen was not exactly what he would like.
"Have you forgotten how many goblins and Orcs we have in our possession?" Kraft asked and Frost Echo did not get it until Jin pointed it out.
"We fake the demise of the New Adventurer's Town when we know that the High Elves Subjugation team is coming. Get the citizens of New Adventurer's Town to hide or evacuate and we litter the entire place with our own Orcs and Goblins along with additional holographic images so that we can inflate the numbers even more. Hell, we can even get Farming World Humans is under our contract to come and increase the numbers too so that it would like a normal town that was unaware of their eventual demise."
"Nice. Good for you to think that way." Kraft approved of Jin's method.
"Besides, once we destroyed it all, we can rebuild it again, and this time with better more modern materials," Jin said as he found that the current town they had was growing but it was not growing right.
"Lol, and let Qiu Yue handle the expansion?"
"Yeah. And I am planning to revamp that cave too. The profit is low and there's not much interest after the initial few months."
"Heh. It's too difficult and I believed people had figured out that the reward from those dungeons isn't that enticing. Well, it did bring people together and they created this new adventurer's town, allowing humans to work in orc and goblin territory and likewise the same as well. Most humans while still having their grievances against our two races, have shown that humans are capable of tolerating us too." Frost Echo explained and Jin nodded his head.
"That's why we need to remove the cave. Perhaps, making the New Adventurer Town the new trade and resort town would be a decent chess move since we have not interacted with the other cities much. Anyways, we will see how it will go after the High Elves mend their punishment onto the town first." Jin replied.
"I will get my spies and soldiers to make sure the evacuation of the New Adventurer's Town is as smooth as possible. But can I ask, how did you know the High Elf Kingdom had finally noticed our town?" Frost Echo asked Kraft.
"Eh? Your spies did not tell you? There's a High Elf lurking around in New Adventurer's Town recently. Perhaps my Night Foxes are too sensitive to them so they could pick her scent out." Kraft said as he put the glass down and started to shoo them away.
"I do not need to hear your details of what you guys are going to do in the New Adventurer's Town. Just make sure that I have a nice comfortable base for the Sun Foxes when the IFC approves our basement idea. And Jin, make sure it is comfortable, okay? Or I will get the-"
"You will get the IFC to revoke my contract. Yes, I understand my dear Devil. Just go and settle your devious plans."
"Looks like you would be spending lots of cash again if you want to rebuild the New Adventurer's Town."
"Don't worry. I will attempt to coincide the coming of the High Elves with a raid at the Dungeon World's Money Tower. This way, there will be lesser people to evacuate when the High Elves come for their subjugation." Jin replied.
