Strength, Wisdom and Honor

Strength, Wisdom and Honor.

Storm Shadow looked over with in a joyful manner. As if he was truly delighted, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

The first time Goff and I had met him, I recognised that he didnt respond well with any sort of expression. He definitely is one of those kinds of green skin who didnt express his emotions so well. But hearing his slightly high-toned voice, there was no mistake that he was delighted by our arrival.

What business do you have in the East, Blood Dagger and Black Spear?

Though he asked, it felt like he already was aware of everything. Considering such a thing at this time, I felt that it would be prudent to satisfy him with what he wanted.

I wish to settle in the East.

That is welcoming news, Blood Dagger. How about it? Did you obtain what you wanted through Green Goblin?

Sufficiently

Many Green Skins are reluctant to come towards the East. But, this place is also quite a nice location to live in.

Is that so

Though those words felt a bit untrustworthy, I decided to respond to it. Actually, I had no thought of living here for all of my lifetime, but noticing his expression, I felt that it was best not to add anything unnecessary.

The guy who continued to talk then shifted his gaze over to the six captured Humans. Feeling the gaze of Storm Shadow, I spoke up.

Its a gift. We caught these Humans along the way here. Please take these three people, we will take the other three.

Very good. Very good

He was extremely delighted as the Humans who had now regained consciousness were completely silent. It was certain that they would be flabbergasted at being dragged to the village of Storm Shadow after leaving for a simple Goblin hunt. Their lips and body were trembling unconditionally, but of course, there was no compassion for them. They were just trophies at best after all.

Anyhow, it is proper to welcome the guests.

After leaving the west, the second banquet had begun. After receiving the welcome of the Big Ogre Clan, I had some expectations in anticipation of this banquet, but the party of the Storm Shadow Clan was extremely boring.

..

.

Everyone was engaged in low whispers while feasting on the food displayed, but not much conversations arose otherwise. Gark and Hark were silently talking with one another, and the lively personality which is Mev was wiping away the cold sweat. Storm Shadow nodded and began to speak some ordinary stories. Mentally, I had wished for this banquet to end as quickly as possible, and fortunately, it ended much quicker than that of the Ogres.

Then I entered my tent. We had decided to reside in the small sector of the village provide by Storm Shadow, so we set up our flags and quickly built up our tents.

Once we completed the tents, contrary to the expectation of Hayeon, I was accompanied by Ragia as she brought forth the three captured Humans. Throwing them roughly on the ground in front of me so I could now obtain some information.

Somorah

The moment I spoke, they immediately replied.

Hohow do you know our language

You do not need to be concerned with that.

I beckoned to Ragia, the guys slowly began to approach. In that somewhat short time, if there was anything that I had realized, it was that Ragias torture was quite effective. No, rather than effective, she looked like a professional at it. Though I wasnt sure exactly what position they were in at Somorah, but knowing that even such trivial information could become a great weapon, I was determined to extract every single piece of detail.

Can we start?

I nodded from Ragias voice. The reason why she was able to deal with such matters effectively was that she did not become agitated. In the case of Hark, Gark, and Hayeon, they would quickly kill the Humans, but she knew how to coldly execute her role. It was simple at first, at the start, she would instill a bit hesitant. Then, not long after, screams would burst out. On the remaining arm of one of them, she would stab a nail-like dagger, causing him to scream horrifyingly.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhk! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhk!

From that noise, I frowned, and immediately Ragia put a cloth in his mouth and began to continue her work.

After a bit more time, he was shedding tears. It was then that he finally realized that he had made a mistake.

I had wasted my time.

These guys had no sense of belonging or justice. Rather, they were just guys that moved for their own benefits. Even if I hadnt tortured them, it was certain they would have replied to me.

I raised my hand and soon Ragia took out the cloth from his mouth and allowed us to sta
