Stubborn Sen prayed that nothing unexpected would happen, but an accident was already close to him.
Count Vorsis's large army was already heading towards the valley. This force consisted of Count Vorsis's elite warriors, imposing figures wielding longswords, whose mere sight was enough to instill fear.
Judging from the quantity and quality of the troops, Count Worthy probably sent out his entire force.
"Ares, you did a very good job this time, handling the situation calmly and collectedly. It seems you took my plan to heart last time, and I will reward you handsomely later. Now, come with me to meet the barbarians."
"Thank you, my master. Your method was so good, it's hard for a servant not to remember it." Ares was now a little smarter and knew how to flatter his master.
The barbarian scout on the high ground at the mouth of the valley spotted Count Vorsis's men. After observing them carefully, he quickly turned and ran into the valley.
"Chief Stubborn, something bad has happened! It seems that Woxis's men are attacking from the valley. We need to leave immediately. They are heavily armed and there are many of them. They are definitely not here to mine."
"Did they all come on horseback?" Jiang Sen asked.
"Yes, we need to leave quickly, they'll be here soon." The scouts on watch were somewhat panicked; they had clearly arrived on horseback very quickly. They used to rob Worsis frequently, and if they were trapped in this valley, they would be doomed.
"Hurricane, tell everyone to pack their things immediately. Only take your personal belongings. Take as many pieces of ore as you can. Then get everyone onto the ship. No second trip is allowed. Leave everything you can't take here."
Jiang Sen knew this was no joke; they weren't on horseback, and if they got surrounded, they were doomed.
"That stupid Worsis just came at the right time; we finished mining the ore and he showed up. What a damned guy."
The hurricane was cursing and swearing, but he didn't dare to delay and quickly went into the valley to tell everyone to leave immediately.
The once bustling valley quickly returned to its former tranquility, though the mess left behind told Count Worthy, who had just arrived, that the barbarians had only recently left.
Looking at the valley full of wolf tracks, Count Worsis felt neither regret nor anger, for this was originally his plan to have the barbarians mine for him for free.
"Hahaha."
Count Worthy laughed heartily, marveling at his own wisdom; such a brilliant idea had actually come from him.
Arriving at the edge of the mine, looking at the piles of silver ore that resembled small mountains, he laughed heartily again.
"Hahaha, you foolish barbarians, didn't expect that, did you? I deliberately walked so slowly, otherwise did you think you would have run away?"
Count Vouchis finally got his revenge today, and the bad mood from being robbed twice before vanished without a trace.
"Take everything here, except for the white ore."
Count Worthy looked at the white ore and couldn't understand why the barbarians were digging it up. Wouldn't it be better to dig up more silver ore? That way, he could take more with him.
Looking at the abundance of ore, Count Worsis discovered that robbing was also a very enjoyable thing, and he found that he had begun to like the feeling after robbing.
He thought the barbarians would come again, and he wanted to bluff them to make them mine for him for free.
"Leave all those wooden tools here, Ares. You stay here and keep an eye on things."
Count Vouchis was ready to have the barbarians mine for him for free once again.
