Green Monster Epic

Chapter 249: Philip's Plan (Wow, this number is really auspicious!)

Philip couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen compatriots from the human kingdom. He had been in the Green Field Tribe for almost three years, and he had lost touch with the outside world.

After some introductions, Philip composed himself and said seriously: "You are now on the territory of my Green Field Tribe, so if you want to leave safely, you only have two options."

"Oh?"

Qiao Shan frowned, thoughts rising in his mind.

"First, 32 warriors from the Green Field Tribe will launch an attack on you after I leave. I can reveal the strength of this team to you. All members are powerful warriors above level 6, and there are also 2 advanced combat professions."

"Second, according to the usual practice of merchants in the Mansha Corridor, you pay a toll that satisfies the Green Field Tribe, and they will guarantee that no one will dare to attack you for more than a hundred miles southeast to the edge of the Tagan Desert. You can rest assured!"

Philip spoke eloquently. Although he actually wanted to communicate with the other party about the changes in the human world in recent years, since he was working for the Green Field Tribe, he had to help Hua She and the others complete the most important things first.

"As a compatriot, I would like to give you a friendly reminder that the goblins in front of you have already notified the Jackal Tribe further east. The leader of this Jackal Tribe is very obedient to the Green Field Tribe. I don't think you will be able to leave this land safely."

"Oh??"

Among the mercenary team hired by Qiao Shan, there was an excellent thief who had thoroughly explored the road ahead as a scout. This was also why they were able to avoid the frequently active areas of the Green Field Tribe and were only a little bit of luck away from passing through. Therefore, they also knew something about the Jackal Tribe further east.

Hearing Philip say this, not only was Qiao Shan a little moved, but even Martin, the human shield warrior who was the leader of the bodyguard mercenary team beside him, couldn't help but frown, with some confusion in his eyes.

"Don't think I'm trying to deceive you. You should have scouts in your team. You can go directly to the east to take a look. Perhaps you will see the Jackal Tribe's team soon."

"If I were you, I would choose the second option. With me helping to mediate, the price you pay will definitely be much more cost-effective than if you try to force your way through."

Philip sincerely wanted to curry favor with the humans in front of him, and tried his best to show his most sincere side.

"Hmph, they want to take advantage without even fighting. Are they underestimating our Oath of Glory Mercenary Group! !"

The human mercenary leader, Martin, was the first to attack, fiercely slapping the carriage frame beside him and uttering harsh words.

"Manager Qiao Shan, don't worry, our mercenary team will definitely protect the caravan's safety!"

Martin's confident response did not bring much comfort to Qiao Shan. The strength of the goblin team was obvious. Even if Philip's words were somewhat exaggerated, even if Martin's team and the caravan warriors could drive the other party away, the losses would inevitably be significant. Not to mention that the other party's words revealed that there was a group of jackals coming. If that was true, then the situation of their caravan was really dangerous.

"Well, Captain Martin, I trust your strength, but we can also see how much the other party's toll is! !"

While comforting Martin, Qiao Shan followed Philip's topic and continued to chat: "Mr. Philip, then what do you think is the appropriate amount for us to pay as a toll?"

"Well, the condition given by the leader of the Green Field Tribe is the value of one cart of your goods."

Philip overstepped his bounds and made an exorbitant demand. Obviously, Hua She had not given a specific fee, but he took the liberty to give an answer.

Sure enough, the other party was furious when he heard this condition and was about to refuse outright when Philip suddenly signaled Qiao Shan to calm down and then said: "Manager Qiao Shan, don't get excited, listen to me."

"I have some face in the Green Field Tribe. For the sake of being of the same race, I can say a few good words for you, but perhaps there will be a place where Manager Qiao Shan can help in the future, and don't forget today's kindness."

Philip's words had a hidden meaning, and his eyes looked very sincere, but Qiao Shan really couldn't figure out why he would need to repay him, since this caravan was only passing through this barren land, and it was very likely that he would not take this road again next time.

Although he was very puzzled in his heart, Qiao Shan said very sincerely on the surface: "If Mr. Philip is willing to help mediate, then I, Qiao Shan, and the Fox Chamber of Commerce will definitely remember your kindness and will definitely repay you in the future."

"Believe me, it won't be long before you can repay this kindness."

A flash of joy flashed in Philip's deep eyes, and then he turned to leave, but before leaving, he said: "Manager Qiao Shan, just wait for my good news."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Philip's good news."

Qiao Shan nodded in agreement. As soon as Philip left, he began to whisper a few words to Martin around the edge.

"Understood."

Martin, who had received the order, waved to a team member, and after whispering a few words to him, this team member quietly left the team and ran towards the eastern wilderness.

"Chief Hua She, they agreed to pay the toll."

Philip returned to the goblin team with excitement at this time, wanting to show off his achievements to Hua She.

"But they want to know how much our toll should be?"

Hua She and the others hadn't considered this question when things hadn't developed in this direction. Now that Philip suddenly brought it up, Hua She was a little dumbfounded. They had only communicated with the outside world once or twice, so how could they know how much the toll should be charged? If it was too much, the other party would definitely be unwilling, and if it was too little, they would suffer a loss.

"In my opinion, it's most cost-effective to wipe them all out in one go! !"

"I just can't understand it. You could have just killed them, but you're just dragging your feet. What are you doing! !"

A Xiao really couldn't understand Hua She's thoughts, and complained in front of everyone, attracting the approval of many people, who nodded slightly.

"I have my own plans! !"

Hua She was already in a confused mood. He glanced at the people in the field with a solemn expression. After suppressing everyone's restlessness, he began to ask Philip: "In your opinion, how much toll should we charge?"

"I think it would be more appropriate to add a little to the price we charged for escorting the Shining Silver Caravan to Thornsburg before."

When the topic returned to the main business, Philip's heart was lifted again. This was the most difficult time for the matter he was promoting.

"What do you think?"

Hua She turned his head and looked at A Xiao, Da Shan, and the others. How could they really know how to charge? However, thinking about the reward Shining Silver gave before, and looking at the eight carts of goods on the opposite side, no one would think it was worth it. Naturally, A Xiao and Da Shan's eyes were full of disdain, contempt, and other emotions, but they may have guessed Hua She's inner thoughts, but they didn't really speak.

"Go back and tell them to pay twice the reward we gave to escort the Shining Silver Caravan before! !"

Hua She glanced at A Xiao and the others. Knowing that he couldn't get an effective response, he simply made a decision on his own.

Most of the other tribesmen were a little disappointed, but fortunately, under Allen's guidance in recent years, the tribesmen have changed a lot. At least, Hua She, the temporary leader, has made a decision, and everyone has defaulted to it.

I feel that the number of collections doesn't increase much with a one-time update, and the number of new subscriptions is pitiful, so I still update it in 2-3 times. I'm suffering! !
