Chapter 74: 073 Arrangement_l

Soon, under Long Fang’s guidance, the Quilboar put down their iron axes and cooperated with the Lizardmen who imprisoned them in batches in the temporarily built cages.
Those cages once held the newly caught Wargs.
Since the Werewolves were all tied up, the Lizardmen didn’t bother with them and simply left them where they were.
The Dire wolf corpses were dragged outside the Land of the Soaring Dragon and buried since they were killed by the deadly poison conjured by the Lizardman Shaman and were inedible.
Only a few lucky Dire wolves didn’t die. They were just severely injured and fell unconscious under the influence of the same poison.
A few Lizardman Shamans gave these Dire wolves the antidote and had Gaz’s Goblins take them to the place where the Wargs were tamed and treated.
Although these Dire wolves would be disabled after they recovered, both males and females were present, so they could provide an endless supply of Dire wolf cubs for the Land of the Soaring Dragon, and perhaps even breed with the Wargs to create new wolf species.
When dawn broke, Long Fang carried the slightly treated Link and went to see Shasharu, the current highest leader of the Land of the Soaring Dragon, along with Gaz.
Long Fang and Link knelt respectfully before Shasharu, but the old Lizardman seemed not to notice them and instead complimented Gaz, “You did well this time. Honestly, I’m not good at fighting, so a lot of things might need your help in the future.”
Gaz held back his excitement and nodded calmly, which meant he had successfully taken his first step in the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
Shasharu patted Gaz’s shoulder and continued, “When His Majesty returns, I will personally recommend you!”
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will not let you down!” Gaz replied gratefully. This Goblin was not only powerful but also knew how to deal with people.
Shasharu was very satisfied with Gaz not taking pride in his one victory. He then finally turned his attention to the other two.
The old Lizardman gazed at the Quilboar and Werewolf indifferently and finally spoke, “I remember you two, one is a treacherous Quilboar Chief, and the other once led the Wolf Cavalry in raids on my clan like a bandit.”
” so…”
Shasharu pointed his Magic Wand at the Quilboar and continued, “You joined the Land of the Soaring Dragon with a few Quilboar, for today? Have you ever thought that you would end up like this?”
Long Fang opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word. He was not a persuasive guy.
However, Link next to him said, “It was all my idea. He just followed my instructions.”
The old Lizardman shook his head and asked Gaz who was standing beside him, “Did I see that wrong? Does he want to take all the responsibility by himself?”
Gaz shrugged, “You didn’t see it wrong, although it’s rare indeed…”
The world of monsters is cruel, where even fellow species or family members can be sold out for benefits. It’s rare to find someone like Link who would voluntarily take responsibility for a friend.
“You might have gotten something wrong…” Shasharu sat back down in his seat and continued, “I’m not interested in taking your lives, but at the same time, I can’t easily forgive your mistakes. You must pay in some way, such as your freedom…”
At this point, both Link and Long Fang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they wouldn’t die.
Shasharu saw the changes in their expressions. If possible, he actually wanted to kill all the Quilboars and Werewolves.
Although Gaz had planned this operation perfectly, casualties were inevitable among the Lizardmen.
If Shasharu was only the leader of the Lizardman Clan, he would definitely kill these two culprits without hesitation.
But now, the Lizardmen had the name Dragon Eye Clan given by Emperor Otto, and Shasharu had to manage not only hundreds of Lizardmen but also the entire Soaring Dragon Legion.
Once the position changed, the thoughts would naturally change as well.
Interactions between monster races were primarily for territory, food, and population. Absorbing these Quilboar and Werewolves could greatly boost the Soaring Dragon Legion, which initially had a weak foundation.
After some thought, Shasharu announced the verdict for the defeated races.
“The Quilboar and Werewolves’ ironware and weapons will be taken by the Lizardmen. Starting today, the Quilboar will be scattered and enslaved to work alongside the Goblins in production and construction. I will personally determine what specific tasks need to be done,” he continued, looking at the kneeling Quilboar. “Your name is Long Fang, right? I have more important things to deal with. You and Longleg will act as my associates and help me manage those lazy bastards.”
“Longleg is still young and inexperienced, and he’ll need your help. However, he is a good kid and diligent. Long Fang, I thought highly of you before this incident. I trust you to look after him, and I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“If you can do a good job, I’m not opposed to freeing the Quilboar from their slave status…”
Shasharu was only half sincere. Long Fang’s help was indispensable to make the best use of the Quilboar quickly.
While having Longleg follow Long Fang was partly to widen Longleg’s horizons, it was also to keep an eye on Long Fang.
Although this Quilboar appeared honest and straightforward, he had a record of infiltrating as a mole.
Of course, Long Fang didn’t know any of this, and according to Shasharu, there wouldn’t be much difference in his previous status in the Land of Soaring Dragon.
So, Long Fang gratefully promised, “Thank you very much for your kindness. The Quilboar will definitely live up to your expectations…”
Then, Long Fang glanced at the weakened Link and finally gritted his teeth, saying, “Although Link planned it all, he did not succeed or bring much damage to the Land of the Soaring Dragon…”
“And, Link and his Wolf Cavalry could be of great help to the Land of the Soaring Dragon. He knows how to tame Dire wolves. You might not know that taming Dire wolves and Wargs are two completely different pieces of knowledge…”
“He can also connect you to the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce…”
“Enough!”
Link interrupted Long Fang’s ceaseless talking. He couldn’t say anything when it came to his own situation, yet he came up with so many arguments for others.
Link felt both annoyed and amused when looking at his good friend who had accompanied him for four and a half years.
“I don’t want to repeat the same thing many times…”
Shasharu said helplessly, “Do I have to say it many times? I won’t kill this
Werewolf named Link. So, my associate, you can go and do your job now…”
The Quilboar looked at Link, seemingly wanting to say something more, but he eventually left with Longleg under Link’s gaze..
