CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 280: RESPECT THEIR CHOICE_2

The expressions on the faces of the four eased slightly.

However, they still keenly noticed that Lucas was standing at an angle facing Hope Village, not the orcs.

Thinking about the scenes they had observed along the way, especially the fact that the school in Hope Village was taking in orc younglings and training their combat skills, it was clear that Hope Village was indeed intentioned.

They, the Bull-men, were not as intelligent as the Kobolds; if the Kobolds had chosen Hope Village, could they also trust them a little?

"Even though I know your territory is facing hardships, our territory definitely won’t take advantage of that. If you tell us, maybe we can solve the trouble sooner," Lucas said, his voice carrying a hint of enchantment.

This was not deception, but rather leading them to make the right choice.

Riley glanced at Lucas, then at O’Neill, and finally, his gaze settled on Fred, "You are also a Bull-man, can you guarantee me in the name of the Beast God?"

Fred had always been an observer, after all, he was not articulate, and he did not have much presence in the entire Beastman team.

Suddenly being asked, he was startled, but realizing that this clan member was seriously asking for his opinion, after some contemplation, he still gave his answer, "I guarantee in the name of the Beast God that Hope Village will absolutely not harm your territory and will definitely accept and help you."

Even Fred felt this point was beyond doubt.

Listening to Fred’s words, Riley and the others stared into his eyes for a good while, before finally exhaling deeply.

"Our territory was attacked by the Leopard Beastmen; they stole all the food we had prepared for the dry season," Riley said, a bit through clenched teeth.

It was known that the Beastman Kingdom had distinct dry and rainy seasons, both exceedingly long, especially the dry season. Therefore, they always prepared enough food for the entire territory’s residents before the arrival of the dry season.

However, this year, after they had stockpiled their supplies, the Leopard Beastmen living at some distance launched a surprise nighttime raid on their territory and specifically plundered their warehouse, ruining months of their hard work.

Under such circumstances, it was clearly very difficult for their territory to endure the long dry season.

They had sent out requests for aid immediately after the incident, but other Bull-man territories were concerned with their own affairs and could spare little resources to help them!

Just when they felt this crisis was insurmountable, they suddenly received an invitation from Hope Village.

The temptation of two gold coins was already very substantial, let alone during a time of hardship in their territory.

They thought only of earning this money to buy supplies for their territory to help it survive the hardship.

"Leopard Beastmen are really despicable! They always target smaller territories, engaging in this kind of deed every year, and the territories they prey on are barely able to get through the dry season," exclaimed O’Neill indignantly after hearing this.

Listening, Lucas also couldn’t help but worry about his own former territory.

O’Neill’s Tiger-man territory was not one many Beastman territories dared to oppress, but their Kobold, Sheep-headed Man, Fox Beastman, and Bull-man territories, being relatively weaker, became easy targets for the dominant territories.

"So at this time, if Human Territories eye us and attack during the next Territory War, our territory is very likely to be breached, and then our people would fall into slavery under the Humans," Riley voiced his concerns.

Under normal circumstances, Human Territories did not trouble Beastman Territories! After all, even the weakest among Beastman Territories were more formidable in combat than the Human Territories.

"Don’t worry! Our territory won’t do that," O’Neill emphasized again, "Work well in Hope Village, then buy more food to take back. Human Territory’s food is plentiful and cheap."

While saying this, O’Neill couldn’t help but remark again.

Across the Stan Continent, the Human Clan Kingdom controlled the largest and finest territory, of course. Except for unpredictable weather, most areas in the Human Clan Kingdom experienced distinct four seasons, which greatly boosted their food production.

Moreover, the Human Clan Kingdom had a stronger reproduction rate, so in terms of population, Humans were the most numerous on the Stan Continent.

The situation in the Human Clan Kingdom was indeed enviable to other races.
