After setting up the route, the team began to move toward the northwest route in the next few days. They didn’t have any objection to the sudden change in the route of the other orcs. In any case, they were all here to look for trouble. It didn’t matter where they went to look for trouble?
However, Bagg, who was an outsider, was a little conflicted. His original plan was to first go to augg city, the greatest city of the northern orcs. That was the trading center of the northern orcs. It was said that there would be many military supply officers from various tribes coming here to select suitable warriors. Most of the adventurers from the South would first stop here… …
However, the route chosen by this cabbages tribe was actually going to the Kaiser Plains. This was obviously not his expected destination, but he was reluctant to leave this team… …
The main reason was that he had been living too comfortably in the team, especially after experiencing three months of hardships. He realized how rare it was to be full during his time in the north…
In the past few days, he had been eating magical beast meat every night, as well as crops and fruits of excellent quality and taste in the morning and noon. At night, he was assigned a cotton blanket made of some unknown wool, which made him sleep well…
He felt that he was living more comfortably than when he had stayed at home. Just look at Tommy to see how well-nourished he was. In just a few days, this guy’s fur had been well-groomed… He estimated that if he wanted to leave, this guy might not even be willing to follow him. …
After all, it was probably the first time since Tommy was born that he could eat magical beast meat every day… …
But what was the point of staying behind?
He was just a passer-by, not part of the other tribe. He couldn’t just stay in the other tribe and eat and drink. After they reached their destination, could he just stay here and not leave?
Or… ? … should he apply for an employment relationship?
After thinking for a long time, Bagg thought hesitantly…
Since they were in the north, most of the southern Beastmen would choose a force to join. The nature was the same. Although he had never heard of this tribe before, it was obvious that it had a bright future… …
Thinking of this, he didn’t delay any further. He got up and prepared to discuss with Raleigh and see if he could apply…
However, after walking out of the tent for a few steps, he saw old Joseph coming out of the main tent, so he hurriedly bowed and said, “Sir Joseph…”
He wasn’t very familiar with Joseph. He just saw that the people around him called him that, so he followed suit…
According to Reilly, this tall orc named Joseph was a quartermaster in the army, and he was mainly responsible for logistics!
Old Barg was not only confused about this, because he felt that the other party should be an elite orc, even though he had never seen such a green orc before. But judging from the other party’s strong muscles and strong aura, it was definitely not inferior to those orcs with royal blood…
It felt a bit wasteful for such an outstanding existence to be a quartermaster instead of a glory warrior…
Old Joseph was preoccupied at the moment. Seeing the other party bow, he only nodded slightly and did not intend to respond. But in the next second, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his footsteps, ready to leave.
The reason why he was so preoccupied was because of the relationship between Alice and the emperor of the liver. It was obvious that he was more like an outsider, and the other party seemed to have noticed that he wanted to interfere with the military power.
Indeed, the reason why he volunteered to participate in this expedition was not only because he wanted to accept the regime in the new territory as soon as possible, but also because he wanted to interfere with the army…
Not to mention getting military power, he had to at least give these high-ranking generals in the tribe an impression of him. However, it was clear that things were not going well these days.
These orcs valued the strong as their leader. Although they respected him as a political official on the surface, he could clearly feel that these guys were more inclined to emperor liver and Alice from the bottom of their bones…
Especially Alice. With her outstanding combat strength and skills, she was able to quickly subdue Reilly and the other veterans of the tribe. Now, she was almost unwavering in the army. And the emperor of the liver, who represented the highest combat strength of their team, seemed to prefer to interact with Alice. This made him feel rather isolated and helpless…
It was not that he was really ambitious and insisted on competing with Alice. The main reason was that the boss and the little cabbages in the group looked very unreliable at first glance, and Alice was a person with extremely strong skills, if Alice was more ambitious, how could the little cabbages suppress her?
If one day Alice’s power was too inflated, he felt that it wasn’t a good thing for the entire gang. He felt that he had to at least act as a counterbalance… …
While he was distressed, looking at this young man who had just joined the army, he suddenly had a glimmer of inspiration…
Thus, he stopped in his tracks and smiled gently. “I remember that your name is bug, right? Why aren’t you sleeping at this time of night? You’re going to enter the Blackwater River region tomorrow, so you have to wake up early…”
Bug was stunned. Although the other party was a quartermaster, his status was clearly higher. It seemed that he was on equal footing with that Lady Alice. He was quite surprised that such a person still remembered his name, a good impression suddenly rose in his heart. Then, he scratched his head and smiled, “I. . . I want to look for Raleigh and ask him for a favor…”
“A favor?”Old Joseph’s heart moved, and then he smiled, “It’s so late, Raleigh should be asleep… why don’t you tell me what it is, maybe I can help?”
“This…”seeing the other party’s friendly attitude, Bagg’s good impression grew, so he told him his thoughts… …
“You want to apply for an employment relationship?”Old Joseph touched his chin, his eyes thoughtful, and said, “How about this, I’ll help you talk to Lady Alice and try my best to get you a good contract…”
Bagg was instantly excited when he heard that, and he quickly showed a grateful expression, “Then… Then I’m really grateful to you, Lady Joseph! !”
Looking at the other party’s sincere expression of gratitude, Joseph immediately discovered a brand new avenue.
That’s right… “…”. Since the old man in the tribe was already under Alice’s control, why didn’t he start with the newcomers?
Wasn’t the purpose of coming to the north this time to expand his influence?
When he thought of this, old Joseph’s mood immediately became much more relaxed. The smile on his face also became even wider. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. As for the things that happened along the way, you can go back to sleep in the tent first. Wait for My News Tomorrow…”
“Yes!”Bug replied excitedly. “Thank you very much, Sir Joseph!”
Old Joseph gestured for him to go back, and arranged his thoughts to talk to Alice. . .
———- —
“We’re about to enter the Cather Plain, and I think we should establish a complete system of military merits… No sooner had old Joseph returned than he suggested to Alice, whether it was necessary to inspire the soldiers’enthusiasm or to attract new comers to join them… “…”
Alice was a little surprised by old Joseph’s return, but when she heard his suggestion, she immediately nodded. “It’s necessary…”
“I have nothing to do these days. Why Don’t You Leave It to me?”Joseph smiled.
Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, but she didn’t refuse. He was a shareholder, and he was hired to manage the company. It was impossible for him to keep doing nothing…
“Then I’ll have to trouble you…”
“No trouble, no trouble…”Joseph rubbed his hands and smiled, just as he was about to leave.., suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and said, “Oh right, I met that young man from the Thunder tribe when I went out just now. He wants to sign an employment contract with us. Why don’t I use this military merit system to sign a contract with him?”
Alice’s pupils contracted slightly when she heard that. She instantly understood what the other party was trying to do… …
She could not help but think to herself, ‘this old fellow is a rather troublesome character…’. …
