Chapter 314: Chapter 187: A Traceable Map"Human Mercenary Team, how many? How many Beastmen? Which race are they?" Lucas hastily inquired. Previously, they might not have cared, as they were not of their kin, but now, they would consider the strength gap between both parties before taking action. After all, more people would likely make the Lord happy. They also knew that their territory was short of people! Anyone with some ability could be put to good use. Even those two Sheep Beastmen were more popular in Hope Village than them. However, thinking about it, the delicacies of the territory were from them, so they could somewhat understand! "The Human Mercenary Team has several hundred people, many of which are Intermediate Professionals, and there are even Advanced Professionals. The Beastmen are around two hundred, mostly young Beastmen and cubs, primarily Sheep-headed Men, with a small part being Bull-men. It seems these mercenaries ambushed near the border of the Beastman Territory." Smaller Beastman territories were not strong and easily targeted. "Are they that strong?" Lucas exclaimed in surprise. Intermediate and Advanced Professionals! Even if their Beastmen could fight ten times their number at the same level, a big level gap couldn’t guarantee safety! "Forget about it! Let’s go over after they leave," O’Neill quickly said after realizing. Given the situation, rescuing would be like throwing eggs against rocks; they still had many old and young to consider. What if they couldn’t rescue and only ended up sacrificing themselves? O’Neill preferred to be more selfish. Lucas was also contemplating. Then, he spoke, "Let’s go there ourselves and check the situation." "Alright!" O’Neill nodded. "Hide well, and stay alert. I fear there might be other mercenary teams nearby. If that few hundred-strong group is together, there might be smaller squads trying to stir trouble; we still need to be careful," Lucas told the Beastmen acting as guards. "Yes," the guards responded and quickly went to make arrangements. Their expressions also took on a hint of tension; their whole families were here! They came to Human Territory to enjoy, not to be enslaved. Lucas and O’Neill, along with a few Beastmen, then reached the observation point. The observation point was located on a hillside in Lulayome Forest. Looking down, it was indeed easy to spot the approaching team. When Lucas saw the number of the opponents, any thought of rescue faded. He really couldn’t cope with this group of mercenaries. Rescue should be attempted only within one’s capabilities. "Fine! Let’s wait until they have safely passed for a while, then we’ll take the opportunity to leave. They’ve just captured this batch; they probably won’t capture more nearby soon." "That’s right!" O’Neill agreed. Having settled on a decision, the two didn’t leave but continued to watch from above. At that moment, the expressions of the few captains of the mercenary teams below were also very relaxed. Catching so many Beastmen this time, they could make a good sum by selling them! Who didn’t know that Beastmen were famously useful? "It’s just too bad that we couldn’t catch any Tiger-men, Lion Beastmen, Eagle Beastmen this time; they are even more valuable," one of the Mercenary Team Captains, Bridges, remarked with a hint of regret in his eyes. "Sheep Beastmen are quite competent in breeding; selling them to territories primarily focused on agriculture also fetches a good price. We encountered them during their migration this time; it didn’t take much effort, so not bad," another Mercenary Team Captain, Philip, followed up, quite satisfied. This was much less trouble and effort than hunting High-level Demon Beasts, and fewer casualties in the team was the biggest gain. "It’s also thanks to Sol’s equipment, being able to locate Beastmen within a certain range; otherwise, how easy could our task be?" Bridges complimented another Mercenary Team Captain, Sol, who was nearby. As they would still need to use Sol’s tools in the future, he naturally wanted to curry favor, for the more benefits, the better! "Yes! How did you get this equipment?" Philip also asked, curious. "This was a Holy-level Mage’s discarded equipment, originally meant to reveal the distribution of all races within a certain range. Unfortunately, after inputting a Beast Clan, the Sheepskin Scroll couldn’t withstand it, and he gave up on that material to look for a new one. This piece then entered the market, and since it targets the Beast Clan, it seemed somewhat useless to others. When I went to Lide Tower City last time, I happened to attend an auction and picked it up there," Sol proudly explained, "What’s a useless piece to others is a gem to us." Because their Delisha City was close to the Beastman Kingdom and happened to engage in the Beastman slave trade! "What does this map look like? Can we have a look?" Bridges asked curiously. He was invited in a hurry previously and only knew an outline; they had also heeded Sol’s instructions. Now that the job was done, giving them some insight would be good. His earlier turning to this topic had also this intent. "Sure!" Sol didn’t hesitate to take it out, not fearing that they could snatch the map from him. As he unfolded it, a large green dot was clearly visible at the center around Sol. As for the more than two hundred Beastmen they had just captured, they were displayed as small red dots. This was indeed convenient! "Captain Sol, when you have a major operation next time, make sure to include us!" Bridges quickly continued. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They didn’t expect much from small operations, but in major ones, when Sol couldn’t handle it alone, having them share some of the spoils would be good! "Sure!" Sol nodded as he listened. After all, he would gain the most benefits from this. Then, Bridges prepared to return the map to Sol. But just as he handed it over, suddenly, the map refreshed. A few small dots appeared around them! At first glance, Bridges exclaimed, "There are still Beastmen around us! They are very close!" Philip also got a shock and quickly leaned in, "Really?" The three of them quickly looked around, their gaze immediately directed towards the direction of Lucas and O’Neill.
