Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 502 - 280: Troll Priest, An Unforgivable Past

Chapter 502: Chapter 280: Troll Priest, An Unforgivable Past

Just as Louis and his companions were gathered in the tent discussing the next course of action, suddenly the tent flap was lifted, and that towering Legendary Giant Demon walked in.

"Everyone, please enjoy your stay in the camp for the next few days. Once we have clarified the situation, we will give you an explanation."

Louis smiled and said, "An explanation? It’s doubtful that you’ll be able to provide one."

"Being able to command you, a legend, to specifically intercept our convoy at the border, it seems you must be someone of overwhelming power in your Giant Demon Tribe."

"Aren’t you afraid that having done this, you’ll end up with a muddled fate?"

To be able to plead with the higher-ups of the Giant Demon Tribe to command so many giant demons, one must either be part of the higher-ups themselves, or be a strategist whom others in the giant demon camp trust immensely.

Legends are strong, but no matter which camp they are placed in, those born to official families cannot gain freedom.

Meanwhile, those truly unrestricted have a hard time growing in these chaotic times.

The forces formed by countries naturally hold the majority of resources in the extraordinary world.

Few would hinder others from pursuing the legendary path.

For those with such capability, their talent itself is capital.

Yet just like the ladies from Charming Street, if they are not promoted to the top at their prime and are left to entertain guests, saving small amounts, and wait until they age to earn big, it’s hardly possible again.

The time missed will not come back again.

Unless one possesses wisdom beyond measure and enjoys the blessing of all favorable conditions, breaking through the encirclement is hardly easy.

Even if one were to survive for hundreds of years and become a legend, how could they find joy and freedom?

It’s not about not wanting freedom, but the government being more cost-effective.

Even now, the Giant Demon Tribe, which cannot yet be called a country, is the same.

Seeing Louis mercilessly exposing the shiny facade, the giant demon wasn’t angered.

"But you originally had means to escape, yet voluntarily returned with us here. Surely, it’s because you wanted to see the situation develop in this direction?"

His hoarse voice said, "Giant demons do not wish to start a war, but as long as Tunisia’s weapons don’t stop, there can be no negotiation between the two sides."

"Involving more countries in the conflict instead offers a chance to quell the flames of war."

"This holds true for both us and Tunisia."

Louis laughed, "But the problem is, from the very beginning, it was not simply a matter of failure between you two; there has been a third-party interference pushing the situation toward the worst possible direction."

"This fact should have been apparent from the moment you met us."

"If it were purely a conflict between you two, you might still have the possibility to stop it."

"But from the beginning, someone has been stirring things up, and if you don’t consider kicking the disrupter out and hope others will show mercy, is that possible?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

His voice became more persuasive, "If you know anything about our Mayer Commerce Association, you should know that there’s somewhat of a superior-subordinate relationship between our association and Prince Louis."

"This time, we are here under the order of His Highness. The Empire’s position is that we will coordinate the conflicts between Tunisia and the other party as much as possible, but we also hope your side will make corresponding gestures."

"Otherwise, a single hand clap makes no sound, and if peace is destined not to come, we surely will not stand on the side of the Giant Demon Tribe."

"After all..."

Nuke Long Xiao sighed, "I know, after all, you are humans."

However, what surprised him was this Mr. Mayer shaking his head and saying:

"It has nothing to do with being human or not, the Mayer Commerce Association pursues a path of achieving multi-racial prosperity."

"Yet reality has shown us that even unifying the voices within humanity alone takes a long time."

"The Tunisian Republic represents a crucial link in our plan, bearing a historical mission. They cannot afford to fail."

Nuke scoffed, "Sounds nice, but after all, it’s for your own interest."

Louis calmly said, "If it’s only about making money, there are countless ways; there’s no need to take this path."

Seeing Nuke’s calm appearance, Louis smiled and added:

"Just like now, your Giant Demon Tribe is stocking up on food for war, and all it takes for me is a slight move to leverage the power of the Mayer Commerce Association to purchase the surplus grains of the surrounding countries."

"If I simply wanted to make money, there’s no need to intentionally raise the price of grain. The value of grain alone won’t bring enough profit no matter how much I earn."

"I’d propose a barter deal, using grain to acquire the refined beast bones your tribe has stockpiled over the years."

His lips curled slightly, "Even giants weren’t born this formidable. Using giant plain beast bones, combined with potion-brewing medicinal soup, is one reason your physique exceeds that of ordinary races."

"Especially for us, Ense and the neighboring Lokeshi Empire, who have always produced warrior-class professionals, we would never refuse this."

"And the reason you have been reluctant to leave the Giant Plain over the years is not only because there’s nowhere to go but also to stockpile more beast bones, isn’t it?"

"During wartime, beast bones that cannot be directly converted into benefits, when sold, do you think I could lower the price by much?"

Seeing the other party’s face gradually change, he spread his hands.

Obviously, the other party had already realized the enormous benefits involved.

The Giant Plain has witnessed many great wars in history, and the traces of those wars from countless ages ago have persisted to this day.
