Chapter 239 Sword Test - The cunning ogre, the fish that took the bait

At this moment, in the cave of Tusker Camp, Verin and Kyle were sitting on their own sides, playing chess around the chessboard to pass the time.

Looking at the various chess pieces on the chessboard, Weilin felt a little depressed.

In the past few days, he has invented a different world version of chess based on the Kingdom of Ilia and the Kingdom of Basio.

So far, he has beaten Kyle three times, which is a bit embarrassing.

"My lord, general." Kyle pushed the chess piece representing the knight over, leaving Verin's king chess piece in a dead end with no way to escape.

"Lord, a treasure chest has been dug out of the mine. Lord Orlando is asking for instructions." The knight quickly entered the cave, leaned down and saluted, and reported to Verinhui.

"I remember that the treasure chest was buried tonight. Did you...did you really dig up the treasure chest?" Verin suddenly realized and asked the knight.

"Yes, sir, just now, a kobold dug up a treasure chest. It has rust stains on it and is old. Lord Orlando is asking you for permission to postpone the plan."

"Let him make his own decision." Verin looked at the knight and ordered him.

After the knight left, Verin and Kyle rearranged the chessboard and played the game again.

On the other hand, after receiving instructions from Verin, Orlando decided to postpone the plan and wait three days before implementing it.

Invisibly, the kobolds who dug up the treasure chest allowed more than two hundred mining slaves to live for a few more days.

In the following time, Orlando arranged for manpower to supervise the work day and night, supervising the group of kobolds and goblin slaves to work day and night to dig out all the treasure chests.

Two days later, thirty-three iron boxes were excavated from the ground and delivered to Weilin openly.

This move attracted the attention of spies from surrounding tribes.

For a time, the monster clans around Tusker's camp began to move, but there was still no one who stood out. They were all waiting for the right time.

In the cave, looking at the thirty-three iron boxes in front of me, I can tell from the rust stains on them that they are at least more than sixty years old.

"Open the box and see what's inside."

When Orlando heard Verin's words, he waved his hand to signal the knights beside him to take action.

After receiving the order from the group leader, this low-level silver knight pulled out his knight's sword, cut off the iron lock and pried open the first iron box under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When the iron box was opened, the luster was bright and textured, sparkling and emitting a dazzling light, in line with everyone's expectations. It was filled with gold coins.

A rough estimate is that this box contains about 4,000 gold coins.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining iron boxes were opened one after another.

Gold coins are stored in twelve iron boxes, silver coins are stored in twelve iron boxes, jewelry of various colors are stored in six iron boxes, and various books are stored in the other three iron boxes.

Verin picked up a book and flipped through a few pages. The content was written in Dwarf language. He didn't understand a single word, so he had to take it back and have it translated.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to guess that these thirty-three iron boxes were buried here by dwarves.

"Lord, there are about 43,000 gold coins, more than 55,000 silver coins, about 11,000 jewels, and 137 books here." Kyle checked as quickly as possible. , giving approximate data.

In the past, this would have been considered a fortune, but now it is just a piece of cake.

"Remember, the ordinary knights of the Fire Lion Knights and Ice Bear Knights will each be rewarded with ten gold coins, the squad leader will receive fifteen gold coins, the squadron leader will receive twenty gold coins, and the left and right hands of the knights will receive thirty gold coins."

"The twelve followers I brought with me will each have twelve gold coins."

"As for Orlando and Hebrew, you two, one hundred gold coins each." At this point, Verin turned to look at Kyle, "You do the same, take out one hundred gold coins from here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone beat their chests and saluted.

Except for Orlando, Hibs, and Kyle, every one of the Cavaliers present had very excited faces.

It's really a lot of money to get a few months' salary for nothing.

One night later, more than two hundred mining slaves had the most satisfying meal of their lives.

In the mine, everyone's mouth was full of oil and their belly was stretched out.

"Tomorrow, those humans will probably let us go." A goblin lay on his back, looking above his head, and said to his fellow humans on the side.

"I'm so full. Even if I am willing to die now, the Goblin has no regrets." Touching his round belly, even if his fingers were condensed into blood, it would not prevent him from feeling satisfied.

Not long after, the mining slave in the cave died in his sleep.

Outside the mine, Orlando looked at the sky and waved his subordinates to go in, carry the body, and throw it aside to be burned.

The flames soaring into the sky attracted the attention of the monster clan spies lurking around.

The fire burned for more than three hours, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat. One hundred subordinates stood behind Orlando and Hebrews, their faces unchanged.

"Walk."

Following Orlando's order, everyone began to evacuate this place and return to Tusk Camp.

Seeing the guards withdrawing, more than a dozen spies from different tribes rushed into the mine to look for clues.

"Gold coins." A kobold found a gold coin in the soil. He looked around carefully without attracting the other person's attention. He put it into his mouth as quickly as possible and held it under his tongue.

Not long after, more than a dozen kobolds and goblins each had their own agenda. They watched vigilantly at the spies from different tribes around them, then slowly separated and ran towards their own tribes.

Fifty kilometers north of Tasker's camp, the ogre Tasker grabbed the shiny gold coin and looked at the kobold servant lying on the ground: "This is really found in the mine."

"Yes, Master." The kobold replied respectfully.

"You're lying. This was obviously just buried. How could it be a treasure found in the mine?" the ogre Tasker scolded loudly, so frightened that the kobold urinated directly.

"Clan leader, this is impossible." A stupid ogre stood up, his eyes filled with greed, and he boldly asked.

"I am the leader of the clan. Who among you is dissatisfied?"

In the bear cave, thirty ogres, Wu Mo, dared to look at Tusker and lowered their heads.

"Take it out and have extra dinner tonight."

An ogre heard the clan leader's order, broke the kobold's neck, picked up his thigh, and walked out of the bear cave.

In an instant, the entire cave became quiet and the atmosphere was peaceful.

"Get out."

Hearing the clan leader's voice, the ogres left the bear cave one after another, not daring to stay here anymore.

Tasker guessed with his clever mind that this was definitely a human conspiracy, and he would not be fooled.

This gold coin was not just buried, but had been buried underground for many years, but he did not want to get involved in this battle.

He saw the greed of his people.
