Chapter 303: Chapter 120: Mom, It’s Time to Drop Gold Coins

An Undead Demoness!?

Catherine’s brow furrowed instantly.

"That Demoness’s shriek can make even the bravest Warrior clutch their head and fall, powerless..." A trace of fear flashed in Rock Breaker’s eyes. "They’ve allied with the Goblin Tribes, given the goblins better weapons, and helped them wipe out any tribe that won’t obey. We Giants... have suffered heavy losses."

He lowered his head in anguish. "Several of our camps were slaughtered. The elderly, the children... none escaped. The Stone Hammer Tribe is one of the lucky ones. The surviving Giant brothers from other scattered tribes... probably number less than a hundred in total. We’re being hunted by goblins, just like today... If it weren’t for you, the Stone Hammer Tribe might have been wiped out today."

The atmosphere in the camp grew heavy, and the other Giant Warriors let out low, angry growls.

Catherine’s expression was grim.

The situation here was far more complex and dangerous than she had anticipated.

A powerful outside force, led by the Goblin Venture Capital Company, had allied with an Evil Mage and the Blue Scarf Rebel Army. They had enslaved the local goblin forces and were now conducting a bloody conquest and search throughout the Angelo Region.

’What is their goal? What exactly are they searching for?’

Catherine had a strange intuition that the presence of this group might interfere with Lynch’s plans.

’I have to get this intelligence back to him immediately!’

"Chieftain Rock Breaker, thank you for sharing this information with me."

Catherine thanked the Giant Chieftain solemnly. Then, with a flip of her hand, she retrieved a portable Magic Mailbox inscribed with simple Magic Runes and a sheet of special Magic Letter Paper from her Space Ring.

She wrote quickly on the paper, concisely recording her encounter with the Giants, the defeat of the goblins, and all the intelligence she had gathered.

After she finished writing, she stuffed the paper into the Magic Mailbox. The paper immediately burst into flames, turning into a wisp of green smoke before vanishing.

All that was left was to wait.

But a long time passed, and she still hadn’t received a reply.

Just as she was considering whether to send another Magic Letter, the Magic Mailbox vibrated softly.

The runes on the lid lit up. Catherine opened the box and saw that a Magic Letter had appeared inside.

She opened it and read, "Catherine, intelligence received. Well done."

"For now, your unit is to ally with the Stone Hammer and other Giant remnants. Establish a forward camp in a secure location, fortify your position, and gather more intelligence, especially regarding the enemy’s force composition."

"The main force and subsequent reinforcements are already being prepared. I will handle this personally. Maintain communication and report as needed."

"Be careful. —Lynch."

After reading the letter, Catherine let out a long sigh of relief. She turned and said, "Chieftain Rock Breaker, we’ve received orders from our Commander. We are willing to fight alongside the Stone Hammer Tribe. Let’s build a safe camp together in this land and face these invaders as one."

The Rock Breaker Chieftain was stunned for a moment, then a look of elation spread across his enormous face.

He beat his chest and threw his head back, letting out an excited roar. "ROAR~! The Stone Hammer Tribe is willing to fight alongside our human friends! For freedom! For our home!"

The other Giant Warriors also rose to their feet, brandishing their weapons and letting out joyous roars.

「Meanwhile.」

Lakefront Town, beneath the garrison.

Although Sea Song was inwardly stunned and almost wanted to throw down her pen and go on strike, in the end, she resigned herself to her fate. She took out another pen and, bracing herself, wrote Lynch’s tale of woe and his claim of kinship on the wooden board.

Then, after Bone Valor once again entered the Ancient Elf ruins holding the two wooden boards...

This time, surprisingly, Bone Valor wasn’t immediately "stared to death."

The other side fell into a rare silence.

After a long while, Bone Valor returned, holding a wooden board covered in Elven Language...

Bone Valor... It actually came back alive!

Lynch’s eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly, "Sea Song, quick, translate! Let’s see what my dear ’Mother’ has to say."

Sea Song shot him a furtive glance, then took the board and looked at it. The next instant, her expression seemed to turn sour, as if she had just read some very bad news.

But in the end, she took a deep breath and translated the High Elven Language on it, word for word.

The gist of it was: "I, the Priestess, have heard your request. However, to prove your sincerity and filial piety, you must sacrifice the mermaid beside you to me."

As Sea Song’s voice fell, a dead silence descended upon the underground space.

Aus couldn’t help but gasp.

’Sacrifice Sea Song? That Moon Priestess actually made such a demand?!’

Avril’s face also changed drastically. She subconsciously took a half-step forward, shielding the pale-faced Sea Song.

At that moment, Sea Song looked at Lynch with pitiful, pleading eyes, as if waiting for his decision.

At the same time, she was inwardly sneering.

’This move of mine is a feigned retreat to pull the rug out from under him. Let’s see what this slippery little brat will choose. Will he abandon this mermaid to win the favor of a Legend for a mother? Or will he...’

But unexpectedly, the very next moment...

"Fuck!"

An enraged curse shattered the silence in the room.

As if provoked, Lynch angrily pointed right at the Teleportation Gate and started cursing. "You old hag, I give you an inch and you take a mile?! Sacrifice Sea Song? Why the fuck don’t you sacrifice yourself?!"

He was so angry he was spitting. "And ’prove my filial piety’? Prove my ass! History really is a bunch of lies... So much for ’noble character’ and ’gentle personality’—it’s all fucking bullshit."
