Chapter 598 Ogres and Goblins
Surprisingly, after the dwarf man spoke up to stop them, the restless ogres actually calmed down and, with a hint of resentment, withdrew their greedy gazes.
Seeing this, Mr. Anke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As a mage specializing in support, his direct strength was not strong. If these ogres ignored his advice and swarmed him, he really wouldn't be able to deal with this guy.
In the end, not only these elves, but I might also be eaten as a snack by them.
Call ~
"Bring them over."
After calming the restless ogres, Mr. Anker led a few of the captured ogres deeper into the ogre mine.
Boom!
After driving away several more ogres, the group arrived at a cave that had been hollowed out.
Inside this dimly lit cave, there were more than a dozen cages of various sizes, mostly filled with humans, with only a few scattered individuals who looked like elves.
They were in extremely poor condition, as if they had not eaten or slept for several days, and all of them lay or leaned weakly against the cages.
Given their current state, even if they opened the cage right now, these guys probably wouldn't be able to escape.
The most unique feature of this small cave is the dark purple altar located in the center of the cave, which is Mr. Anke and his companions' destination.
Beside the altar, besides the group of people, there were two figures, one large and one small. Mr. Anke had just walked over when he noticed the two talking.
One of them was a tall ogre, more robust than the others, and his skin was a strange bluish-green.
Of course, the most crucial point is that it has two heads, one more than a typical ogre.
Perhaps because of this, he seemed to be a bit smarter than the other ogres, and his speech was not as halting as the other ogres's; he communicated very fluently with the smaller man.
He was the leader of this ogre tribe, named Madongar, a powerful gold-rank monster with formidable strength.
The other person he was communicating with was equally special. He was wearing a colorful feather priest's robe, and underneath the robe was blue skin, a sharp mouth and fangs, and an ugly appearance. The most distinctive feature of his body was the long scar that stretched from his face to his chest.
It was obvious that this short guy was a goblin, and judging from his attire, he was also a goblin priest.
His name is Kogaga, and his background is quite convoluted and unusual. After all, judging from the deep scar on his face, he must have a rich past.
He was originally a priest of a large goblin tribe, and he lived with his tribe in a huge manor.
Although he was surrounded by a bunch of skeletons and rotten flesh, he could at least rely on the size of his clan to bully others, and because of his relatively high status within the clan, he lived a fairly comfortable life.
However, one day, he suddenly offended the goblin chieftain of his tribe and committed a serious crime. Under these circumstances, he was also ostracized by other goblin priests. As a result, he was soon severely injured by the strongmen of his tribe and almost died on the spot.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan and managed to escape the tribe, thus saving his life.
However, without his tribe, he could only wander in this forest. He was not weak, but this forest was full of strong people, so he was always on the run.
During his journey, he casually took in a few other wandering goblins, and they formed a clan in a seemingly respectable manner, with him becoming the chieftain. However, in reality, they were often starving.
Later, he met a human who looked very much like his own kind, namely the dwarf man, Mr. Anker.
Through his matchmaking, he unexpectedly ended up associating with one of the most powerful forces in the forest, the ogres.
This was something he never dared to dream of before, but today he has accomplished it.
Goblins are cunning and treacherous, but their individual strength is not very high. Ogres are powerful, but their intelligence is not very high. The two complement each other and can naturally form an extremely powerful fighting force.
Of course, even so, it is still very difficult to bring these two races together, because in the eyes of ogres, goblins are like snacks, the kind that can be picked up and swallowed at will.
Therefore, the alliance between the two parties must have other related interests, which brings us to Mr. Anker.
He was originally a member of the Evil Eye Cult, and was sent to the Forest of Titia to search for the altar ruins left behind by the organization.
Although he was not good at fighting, he was extremely efficient in this area, and soon discovered the traces of an altar.
However, the location of this altar is very special; it is located in a small cave deep inside the ogre mine.
Clearly, he alone could not defeat this group of ogres and take over the altar.
He originally wanted to ask the organization for help, but the organization was also busy with its own affairs and could not provide him with much support.
Therefore, he had no choice but to rely on his expertise in transparency magic to sneak into the altar, hoping to activate it through a special method.
However, unexpectedly, due to its great age, the altar had long been sealed away, and to reactivate it, a large number of intelligent or powerful beings would have to be sacrificed.
This stumped Mr. Anke, who froze on the spot. However, little did he know that something even more tragic was yet to come.
He had originally sneaked into the cave while the ogre chieftain Madongar was away, but he didn't expect Madongar to suddenly return and catch him red-handed.
Although his invisibility magic could shield him from the senses of most enemies, it could not shield him from the senses of those above the Gold rank. Therefore, after being exposed, he was quickly captured by Madongar.
Seeing that he was about to be eaten, in order to save his life, Mr. Anke immediately shouted that he wanted to make a deal with this vicious cannibal.
Surprisingly, the shout actually worked. Although Martongar was as brutal and savage as other ogres, he also had his own advantages, namely, that he was more intelligent than other ogres.
Therefore, tempted by Mr. Anker, he did not eat the goblin-like dwarf immediately.
Of course, this comes at a price: Mr. Anker needs to boost Martongar's power.
