I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 312 - 186: Captured Beastmen_3

"It was so tiring to travel. We ran into several Demon Beasts along the way and even got a few minor injuries."

"Even if we really encountered them, if they don’t want to go back, can we force them to return? Their numbers are greater than ours, and they are all of the same Race. Everyone has some relatives."

"Or shall we go back and say they ran too fast and we couldn’t catch up?"

"That’s right! If we keep running, we’ll be in the territory of Delisha City. Their Mercenary Team is very fierce and often captures us Beastmen. It’s too dangerous."

"..."

Listening to their words, O’Casey also felt there was some truth to it.

But...

"If we haven’t reached the border of the two kingdoms, using the excuse that we couldn’t catch up might not appease the Lord. We still need to catch up to them, ask them some questions, persuade them to come back with us, and if we really can’t bring them back, at least we would have an explanation," O’Casey analyzed. "If we reach the border and still haven’t seen any trace of them, then let it be."

In fact, he knew very well that it was just a show of attitude from the Lord. After all, the actions of O’Neill and his group were exposed by a Pigman. If they didn’t pursue them, they might be mocked by another territory for not being able to retain people.

Being both Tiger-men, it really wouldn’t be good to start fighting and killing!

He considered things so comprehensively also because he was afraid of the personal motives of some people in the team. What if he really agreed and someone reported him afterward?

Now! He had considered both the task and the relationships.

If the Lord found out about it, he definitely wouldn’t say much; instead, he might even regard him higher!

"Alright, let’s do that."

As they chatted casually, they decided on their approach.

Then they noticed the Lulayome Forest on one side.

"Shall we go in and take a look? If they are resting, they would definitely choose this place."

"Okay."

Thus, a group of Tiger-man Soldiers entered the Lulayome Forest.

Soon after entering, they smelled the aroma of food.

Exchanging glances, they quickly headed towards the source of the scent.

As they got close, they were immediately spotted by a few Tiger-men and Dogmen who were guarding their team from Demon Beast attacks.

"People are coming! Someone is chasing us!"

Instantly, all the resting Beastmen became alert.

People? Who?

O’Neill and Lucas quickly came forward to see who was approaching.

Soon, they saw O’Casey and his group.

Seeing them, O’Neill and Lucas were shocked.

"Captain O’Casey, what are you doing here?" It was natural for O’Neill to recognize O’Casey, the Soldier Team Captain.

It wasn’t strange to see each other in the territory, but how could it not be surprising to encounter each other in such a remote place?

O’Casey, too, was stunned by the scene before him.

They hadn’t expected that aside from O’Neill’s group of Tiger-men, there would also be Dogmen.

Were the Dogmen also hired to come back and take people?

What kind of spell had Hope Village cast on them!

Thinking this, he said grumpily, "Of course, the Lord sent us to chase after you, after Pigman Mali came to our territory. Initially, he wanted to accuse you of working for the Human Territory, but after coming here, he found that you had all run away, so he was sure you had defected to the Human Territory. The Lord was so annoyed that he sent us to bring you back!"

"We’re not going back," responded O’Neill without hesitation, "You can’t take us; we have more people than you."

O’Casey: "..."

—Wasn’t he aware of that?

Then he glanced at Lucas and the more than two hundred Dogmen behind him, many of whom were prime Dogman Warriors, and couldn’t help saying, "So many of you Dogmen have left; wouldn’t your Lord pursue it?"

"Our Lord didn’t say anything. We clearly explained our plans and we intend to return to the territory to visit our families in the future!" Lucas promptly said, "Actually, we were hired through a Special Building. Returning is quite convenient, and when the time comes, we’ll bring back cheap goods and food from the Human Territory to sell in our territory, which would be extremely beneficial."

Lucas knew all along that O’Neill and their group had sneaked out. What he hadn’t expected was that the Tiger-man Lord would send people to chase them.

Since people had been sent after them, it was important to nip this potential issue in the bud.

After all, the Beastman Territory was also their foundation, and if possible, they didn’t want things to become too tense.

Thus, the only option left was to tempt them with benefit.

This was also something he had learned from the Lord; sometimes, as long as the benefits were substantial enough, racial differences mattered little.
