60. Orcs are just big fools!

After the misunderstanding with Gorom, Kephiel and Aidefu finally settled down, spending the entire night with the arrangement of “I’ll sleep on the sofa, and you two ancestors can have the bed” in peace.

As for Gorom, I couldn’t be bothered to explain further. After all, when dealing with orcs, especially those like Gorom who only think with their muscles, no matter how much I explained, it would only make things worse. Besides, it wasn’t the time for me to be happily playing around anymore.

On that day, after having taught that great wizard a lesson but returning empty-handed, the chieftain of the Austro-Hungarian tribe suddenly agreed to meet with me. Not with our group, but… just me alone! Excluding Kephir and Aidefu, this made me realize: the “trap” I had been waiting for had finally arrived!

Even though I knew this meeting could potentially be a “feast at Hongmen,” I couldn’t find an excuse to back out, especially since I was concerned about the chieftain’s current state. After assuring Kephir that everything would be fine and making some preparations , I set off with Gu Erdan and Gelurom, two orc companions, to meet their supposedly mysterious and powerful chieftain!

At this moment, the very room we had tried to enter earlier, only to be stopped by the great wizard and sent away empty-handed, was indeed where the chieftain of the Austro-Hungarian tribe resided! The “class” hierarchy among the orcs of the Austro-Hungarian tribe was quite clear; even the great wizard, who had previously wanted nothing more than to slap me dead and had seen death scripts appear repeatedly, could only glare at me with displeasure before cautiously stepping aside!

As for Gu Erdan and Gelurom, they were even more anxious, with only the dim-witted Gelurom cautiously reminding me.

“Don’t anger the chieftain…”

“…”

Whether or not I angered him was no longer up to me, but rather up to your chieftain.

Just as I was about to glance at the script, the rows of candles in the room, which looked like some bizarre ritual, suddenly lit up, and a massive shadow appeared on the wall of the already dim room!

This is… the chieftain of the Austro-Hungarian tribe!? Although I had heard from Gelurom and Gu Erdan that he was very mysterious, I had imagined it to be a matter of wearing odd clothing, but what was this? A shadow looming over me!?

However, several orcs nearby immediately knelt down, and dangerous words appeared in the script, making me realize that the identity of this shadow was indeed not in question!

【The chieftain suspects and executes Oujili De!】

The death script that every character would have appeared!

【The chieftain has set his sights on Oujili De!】

The following content left me feeling helpless; how could I be “targeted” without even having met him once? Do I really look that much like a suspicious person?

I had no time to ponder the meaning of the script, as the shadow soon emitted a deep, resonant voice that seemed to echo!

“Human who claims to be a messenger of Plu, what are you doing here!?”

Perhaps due to insufficient contact and communication with the chieftain, the script had yet to reveal any content regarding “whether the chieftain had been deceived by Nilu”! Helpless, I could only brace myself to accept the seemingly malicious words from the other party! This was one of the risks I took in coming to the Austro-Hungarian tribe!

“I’m here to warn you!”

I tried to present myself as “noble and upright,” addressing the shadow formed by the candlelight, “Recently, there have been suspicious individuals entering and exiting the Austro-Hungarian tribe, possessing terrible means to manipulate people. Please, do not engage with unfamiliar women; she is extremely dangerous!”

If the chieftain was this cautious with everyone and never showed his face, I would feel relieved, but I feared that Nilu might directly unleash chaos or go stealthy within the Austro-Hungarian tribe, using her powers to do something; that would be hard to guard against! So, it was better to give the chieftain a heads-up!

However, I meant well, but he might not think so!

“In terms of danger, aren’t you the same?”

【The chieftain suspects Oujili De!】

The script revealed a clue, and I had nowhere to retreat! It seemed the chieftain did not trust anyone associated with the elves!

“Yesterday, you injured my tribe’s great wizard, and you personally deceived my two most trusted warriors! In terms of danger, I see you as the more dangerous one!”

“I’m here to warn you!”

“Cunning humans are just like elves; whatever you’re thinking, you might fool other orcs, but not me!”

I could clearly feel the chieftain’s anger growing.

I hadn’t said anything bad, yet it felt like he was deliberately looking for trouble! The following questioning left me even more astonished!

“It seems you have reached some sort of agreement with those elves, using the guise of a messenger to come to my Austro-Hungarian tribe to wreak havoc, you notorious criminal, Oujili De!”

“Do you know me!?”

I gasped in surprise, but what shocked me even more was the script that followed!

“Hmph! Someone has already told me your true identity! A con artist wanted by various countries, entangled with the elves next door—your words to me, the Austro-Hungarian, are even more suspicious!”

【The Great Chief knows the identity of Euclid!】

Who said that!? Gelo and Gu Erdan!? No, they were also seeing the Great Chief for the first time after learning my identity; even if they had thoughts, they wouldn’t have had the chance! And when my identity as Euclid was revealed, Adele had already disguised me. I had been careful and cautious, not doing anything out of line that would lead to exposure!

So, in the Austro-Hungarian tribe, the only one who knows my identity and has the ability to meet the Great Chief… is that one person!?

“Wait a moment, Great Chief!”

Gelo and Gu Erdan, standing by, bravely stepped forward to defend me!

“We two stake the honor of the beastmen to assure you that this human man has absolutely not deceived you! It’s true!”

“That’s right! Because we are also victims! You see…”

But it was useless!

“Gelo! Gu Erdan! You two need to calm down and realize you’ve been deceived! If you persist in your delusions…”

The Great Chief’s deep voice paused for a moment, then he shouted.

In an instant, my script was filled with too many death scenarios! It turned out that more beastmen had rushed in from outside!

If, if everything just now was logical, then the Great Chief wanting to meet me alone was a trap!

A trap prepared for me by Nilu!

【The Great Chief was informed of Euclid’s identity!】

【The Great Chief has captured Euclid!】

“Wizard, lock up those three! Keep a close watch! Prepare for thorough questioning, then use them to deal with that cunning group of elves next door!”

I had come too late!

Not only had Nilu already made contact with the Great Chief of the Austro-Hungarians, but…

She had completely deceived this mysterious Great Chief!

Truly… the final boss in the script!
