Chapter 753: Chapter 517, Little Deermen_1


    Soon enough,


    Fang Hao’s entourage, carrying carts of newly manufactured weapons and armor,


    arrived at the agreed temporary campsite.


    Outside the campsite was a low wall made of stone and mud. Beyond the wall were several wooden buildings and many orcs.


    Numerous fully armored Taurens surrounding the area were coldly watching the ve traders.


    When Fang Hao and the others appeared on the horse cart,


    They saw a well-dressed orc with gold chains and rings rush over from a distance.


    He kept babbling as he came closer.


    “Honored noble friend, you’ve finally arrived. You have no idea, the great difficulties we underwent to find enough ves to fulfill your request.”


    Fang Hao had some trouble distinguishing between his orcish kind.


    Apart from some unique features, they all looked quite simr.


    However, listening to the tone and way he spoke,


    He could confirm the identity of the orc in front of him—he was the ve trader he’d been working with all this time.


    It seemed his status within the tribe had improved.


    He was now dressed more like a nouveau riche.


    He hopped off and ran to the side of the horse cart, holding onto it as he jogged while continuing hisints,


    Nothing more than attempts to assure that he’d exerted every effort possible for this transaction.


    Upon reaching the entrance of the campsite,


    Fang Hao hopped off the cart and spoke, “Take me to see these people you’ve found. If I’m not satisfied, I won’t pay you.”


    The orc trader immediately pped his chest, “I guarantee you’ll be satisfied, my friend. This way, please.”


    After saying this, he led Fang Hao into the campsite.


    Upon entering the campsite and passing through several dpidated wooden huts,


    He saw them—the ves.


    There were at least nearly a thousand people gathered, among which he could see the Rabbitmen and the Foxmen.


    They were of all ages, predominantly young.


    The ves were gathered here without any iron cages or restraints, waiting anxiously.


    “Were they all captured by you?” Fang Hao asked as he walked.


    The ve trader immediately shook his head, “Ah, no, our Chieftain has recently started to reform our practices, we no longer capture ves. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so well-behaved here.”


    Reform?


    Hearing these words from a ve trader was quite surprising.


    Of course, Fang Hao wasn’t particrly concerned. The tribes in the orc region were always in chaos.


    By winter, hardly anyone stored food. Instead, they hoarded weapons.


    How would you change such a lifestyle?


    “What practices have you changed?” Fang Hao inquired.


    “Oh! My friend, although you’re very smart, powerful, handsome, and rich, I’m sure you wouldn’t have thought of this.”


    The ve trader started to brag before continuing, “The living conditions on the orc side are poor, while humans live a stable life. However, ve trade is prohibited there. So, we n to open a route.”


    “What route?”


    “To help the orcs in need find kind humans willing to ept them.”


    Huh?


    Fang Hao was momentarily taken aback, trying to understand what he meant by it.


    Then, he suddenly understood. Was this just a new way to phrase it?


    He could take money from both sides since he had ways for human nobles in need of ves to buy them.


    While on the orc side, he also collected money for his help in forging rtionships.


    “Did a transmigratore up with this idea?”


    The ve trader appeared startled, his gaze wavering, “No, no, we thought of it ourselves.”


    Fang Hao didn’t pursue this further and continued, “Is this method effective? I don’t think you would earn as much as when you captured ves, right?”


    “Hehe! We certainly still capture ves, but we only sell them to orcs. As for the humans, we do as just exined. The method isn’t too bad. These are all those we’ve negotiated with.” The ve trader gestured towards the group of ves.


    “All of them? They entrusted you to sell themselves to human cities?”


    “Yes, the winter ising. You have no idea how terrifying winter is here. They wouldn’t survive the winter by themselves,” the ve trader exined quickly.


    Fang Hao chose not to say anything more.


    Perhaps, it really was easier for them to survive if they left the orc region.


    “Have you tallied the numbers and ages yet?” Fang Hao asked.


    “Tallied.” The ve trader pulled out a wooden nk with numbers carved into it.


    The Rabbitmen—327 in total, with 158 female and 168 male.


    The Foxmen—472 in total, with 365 female and 107 male.


    Fang Hao shook his head and turned to Aseti, “Recount these people. Separate the elderly and children.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    The ve trader paused, “What are you…”


    “Do you think anyone would buy elderly or children?”


    “So… what do you mean?” The ve trader appeared uncertain.


    Fang Hao continued, “Either you take them back, or you give them to me for free. If I can use them, I’ll keep them. If not, I’ll take care of it.”


    He knew these ves couldn’t be taken back by the trader,


    Moreover, he was right. No one would want to buy the elderly or children.


    Raising children would involve high initial costs as they could only work once grown up.


    “Let’s proceed as you say. Take the elderly and children. If you find them useful, keep them.” The ve trader said with a smile.


    “Hmm!”


    Shortly, the numbers were recalcted.


    There were 42 elderly and 135 children.


    …@@novelbin@@


    As they finished the count,


    The ve trader’s face showed a special expression, “My good friend, knowing your strong demand, aside from the rabbitmen and foxmen, we’ve specially prepared additional goods for you.”
