Chapter Eighty-Nine: Meet Yenogu Again
"Hey~Big ostrich, I'll give you an ornament~" Giggs flicked the feathers on the chocobo's head, tied a knot of the straw rope around its neck, took two steps back with satisfaction, and Giggs whistled to find a tree and sit down for a nap.
The chocobo flicked the tusk necklace with its large beak and croaked in satisfaction.
After Lane and the guards cleaned up the battlefield, he ordered his men to rest, while on Dick's side, the dwarves and the members of the human caravan recruited by Nick were chatting fiercely in their respective groups.
A red-bearded dwarf nudgled the arm of one of the dwarves beside him, "I didn't expect those horrible trolls to be dealt with by those humans with bows and arrows and swords in their hands, in fact, I was ready to find a way to escape, Lord Dick, these people he invited are so powerful, especially the lord." As he spoke, the red-bearded dwarf stood up and picked up a twig to imitate Giggs's movements.
"That's it, this way, hey, the troll who is three times tall with me has been dealt with by him, haha, I can sleep peacefully for the rest of the journey, believe me, nothing in this mountain range can stop the powerful lord. ”
The red-bearded dwarf's antics caused the dwarves to laugh, but they acquiesced to the idea that they could sleep in peace, and it would be too timid for a caravan with such a strong armed force to not even sleep at ease.
In the following time, under Dick's guidance, the caravan walked on all kinds of rugged roads, and Giggs even sighed in his heart that without the guidance of someone familiar with this road, no one would connect these completely unrelated trails to form a trade route through the Orc Mountains, except for this dwarven merchant who was about to return to humanity.
The caravan's journey was not all smooth sailing, except for the occasional beast or other race, and the dangerous mountain roads could also devour human life, and one of the unlucky members of the human caravan brought by Nick rolled down the mountain with a chocobo beside him.
Dick hurriedly ordered someone to control some frightened chocobos, and Giggs came over to look at the terrain, "It's hopeless, keep going, let them all pay attention to the road under their feet, don't die here for no reason!" Giggs said to Ryan, who was following him.
"Hey Dick, how long will it take us to get out of this damn mountain, we've been walking for almost a month~" Giggs asked Dick in dwarven language as he beckoned the caravan onward.
This simple sentence Giggs had already tried to communicate with Dick in normal times, "Oh~ Lord Sir, in fact, we have only been entering the Orc Mountains for twenty-three days, and there is still about half a month to go, and we can enter the Dwarven Realm, haha, our wealth is coming." Dick spoke out loud the rest of the time, both to answer Giggs's questions and to cheer up the caravan, after all, the loss of this trip was much smaller than when he came, and he didn't bring much merchandise with him when he returned to the human land.
"Half a month, I can't wait to see a different scenery, there's nothing to do, let's leave now, don't waste time here." ”
"Let's go!"
A week later, Giggs had clearly observed the difference between the plants on the side of the road, the plants that grew high and the plants that grew low could be distinguished by a little experience, but at this time Giggs did not care about this, he was carefully observing the clearing that appeared very suddenly in front of him, this is a clearing that has obviously been cleared, and Dick is very sure that he has not rested here when he came.
Giggs walked to the center of the clearing, flicked the ashes of the burning wood with his sword, gestured with both hands to the area of the clearing, and circled around again, and after half an hour, Giggs signaled to Dick that he could move on.
"My lord, who are these people, are there any other dwarves here?" asked Nick, curiously walking up to Giggs.
"It should be my old friend~ I didn't expect him to have run over here for most of the year, tsk~" Giggs's words made Nick a little confused, but seeing that Giggs didn't mean to continue, he left.
At least with the force that Giggs had shown, it was already like an umbrella in the heart of the dwarven-looking businessman.
"Hehe~ My lord, it should be the traces of those gnolls. Ryan whispered to Ryan as he saw Nick leave.
"Yes, I didn't expect Yenogu to successfully escape here with a large number of gnolls, maybe we will bump into them next~" Giggs said very casually, without the worry on Ryan's face at all.
"Rest assured, Gnoll Yenogu is not like his fellow beasts who have no wisdom, and we will be safe. Giggs glanced at Ryan and said lightly.
Giggs's words soon worked, and two days later, at noon, the rest caravan was surrounded by a dense crowd of gnolls, and all eyes, whether dwarves or humans, caravans or guards, were fixed on Giggs, who was playing with the feathers on the head of the tusked chocobo on its neck.
Giggs noticed everyone's expressions, walked to the front of the line unhurriedly, and shouted, "Yenogu, I didn't expect to meet you here~"
With a commotion from the gnolls, an ordinary-looking gnolll stepped out of the gnolls' protection, "I didn't expect to meet you here, are you here to kill them all?" said Yenogu with a grin.
Giggs shrugged, "Is it funny to make such a joke? I don't have enough people to fill your teeth, I'm just going to the dwarves to do some small business, how about I? Do you want me to take you out of the Oak Mountains?"
"No, I've found a suitable place to rebuild my tribe, and now I'm just hunting for some reserve food in this mountain range. Yenogu took a few more steps towards Giggs, who simply threw his sword on the ground, "Don't come here again, let's leave here, to be honest, I really don't want to catch up with you." ”
Yenogu looked at this strange human with a strange expression in his impression, and suddenly said, "How is your plan?"
"What else, now I'm just developing my own territory little by little, and I don't have any capital to have the conditions for action~" Giggs said with a weak face, "By the way, thank you very much for your secret method, it really works well~"
Yenogu glanced at Giggs deeply, and said in a low tone, "Human, tell me your name~"
"Giggs, Lord Giggs of the Starfire Lord!" Giggs, who had not been in shape since the beginning of the conversation, puffed out his chest and said with a serious expression.
Yenogu nodded and turned to the gnolls with a roar, and suddenly the gnolls receded like a tide.
Giggs, who watched the gnolls leave, ignored the cheering expressions of the crowd, his clenched fists kept shaking, and finally returned to the middle of the group with a blank face, "Surely, I will definitely kill you, Yenogu!"
