Next, the barbarian Stubborn and his companions started mining at full speed, completely unaware, in their excitement, that someone was watching them from the distant mountains.
"Good! It turns out the barbarians stole our ore. Assassin, we'll go and get it back right now." It was the servant Ares who spoke. In the end, Count Vorsis released him from the dark room and let him and Assass monitor the situation in the valley together. After all, he felt more at ease with two people around.
Actually, the two of them had been here for a while, but they had been idly staying here every day. Just when they thought no one would come here, the barbarian appeared in the valley.
At the same time, Arthas also confirmed some of his previous guesses that the raiders might have come from the water and that they were not necessarily barbarians.
He had now confirmed all of this: the robbers must have come from the water; they launched a sneak attack from the mountain. Judging from the barbarians' behavior just now, this was definitely not a robbery by barbarians; they were clearly here for the first time and were not familiar with the valley.
This place is dangerous and we can't stay long. Ares is so stupid, we should push any available functions onto him this time.
Arthas had made up his mind, and he said to Ares beside him:
"There are only a few of us now, what makes us think we can take it back? They're barbarians, do you know why they're called barbarians?"
"They are savage." Ares wasn't too stupid; his answer was correct.
"Since you knew, why did you still rob it? Look at that big guy, do you think your neck is stronger than his arm? We are all civilized people, think of the methods civilized people use."
Arthas glanced at Ares and subtly conveyed his meaning: the barbarians below can only be outmaneuvered, not overpowered.
"Yes, Arthur, we are all civilized people. I will go down and reason with them. This ore was first discovered by our great Earl of Worsis, and it belongs to our Earl. You cannot mine it. Also, hand over the ore from the previous two robberies. What do you think of my explanation?"
"I think it's feasible, go ahead! Just don't say I'm here." Arthur really wanted to kick him off the stage.
"Won't they treat me savagely?" Ares really wanted to go, but seeing the barbarians' exaggerated muscles made him hesitate.
"Arthurs, where are you going?"
Arthas, who was standing nearby, had no interest in arguing with Ares any longer. He got up and walked down the mountain he had come from.
"Where are we going? Of course, we're going to inform the Earl that we're coming to seize the ore! Don't be slow, or all of the Earl's rewards will be mine."
Arthas deliberately slowed down so that Ares behind him could overtake him.
Ares didn't think as much as Arthurs did. He quickly quickened his pace and overtook Arthurs, wanting to get back to Worthy Manor immediately to tell his master, Earl Worthys, this important news.
He had felt uneasy since being unjustly locked in a dark room last time. He had always wanted to do something for Earl Worsis, like Arthur had done before, to earn the Earl's praise.
Watching Ares hastily mount his horse and leave, Arthurs smiled. He really didn't want to come to this place again. He had pinned the credit on Ares this time, so Count Woxis probably wouldn't call him back!
Arthurs glanced at the familiar place one last time, then mounted his horse.
Then he followed leisurely behind Ares, who was galloping at full speed...
