Chapter 328 - 328 Virtue Not Worthy of the Position



328 Virtue Not Worthy of the Position

Count Ottle was still unable to react to the situation and instinctively lifted his head to look at Su Ming, who was standing before him.

Then, when he saw the expression on the man’s face, he laughed bitterly.

“Looking at your attitude right now… Even if I want to refuse, I’m afraid I can’t do it, right?”

When Su Ming heard that, the smile on his face grew wider and he nodded his head lightly.

“Yes, your understanding is correct. You don’t have the power to reject me now. Of course, if you cooperate. Trust me, you’ll be treated well in my tribe.”

Once Su Ming settled the dispute over the resource point, it was only natural that he would not release Count Ottle back to Vast Flame Kingdom.

There were two reasons why he did this.

The first reason was that if he released Count Ottle now, it would inevitably alert the enemy and make Duke Lincoln vigilant.

Because of that, Su Ming was forced to speed up again. This was a situation that was difficult for the already tense Elf Valley to accept.

The second reason was that in Su Ming’s eyes, Count Ottle could also be used as a hostage.

He wanted him to be used as a bargaining chip during some negotiations.

Of course, this bargaining chip might not be useful.

However, no matter what, it was better than nothing.

When Count Ottle heard Su Ming’s words with a calm expression, he also fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Count Ottle sighed helplessly. He looked at Su Ming and said, “Since you’ve already said so, if I don’t go, wouldn’t I be disrespecting you?”

When Su Ming heard that, he chuckled softly. He did not say anything more, but waved at the two Elven warriors behind him.

“Bring our guest back to the Elf Valley with our troops.”

When the two Elf warriors behind him heard this, they naturally nodded in acknowledgment.

After that, the two of them left with Count Ottle.

Right after the two of them left, a figure suddenly appeared before Su Ming.

Su Ming lifted his head and cast a glance at Zelda, who had a slightly grave expression on her face. Su Ming raised his eyebrows and said, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?”

Zelda shook ger head slightly and said, “I just don’t understand how such a person could be in charge of such a large-scale mining activity.”

When Su Ming heard that, he chuckled softly.

To be honest, Su Ming was also a little surprised by Count Ottle’s performance.

As the head of a large-scale plan, Count Ottle’s ability was obviously lacking.

At the very least, the abilities that he had displayed in the earlier negotiations were far from being able to match the position that he occupied.

“This is a good thing for us.”

Su Ming’s words instantly made Zelda become slightly puzzled.

“How is it any good for us?” As soon as Zelda asked that, she immediately reacted, and her eyes lit up. “Oh, I understand what you mean. You’re saying that this situation is also a manifestation of the Vast Flame Kingdom’s problems, right?”

When Su Ming heard that, he chuckled and nodded. He said, “Your reaction is quite fast.”

“To us, the more people who don’t deserve their virtue there are in the Vast Flame Kingdom, the more advantageous it is for us.”

Su Ming could tell just by looking at Count Ottle that his position was inherited.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to reach his current position with his own abilities.

And this kind of person who only had the status of a noble but did not have much ability could also be the general person in charge of this operation.

This was enough to show that the entire Vast Flame Kingdom was already used to this situation.

Once such a trend appeared, the collapse of the kingdom would be a natural thing.

When he thought of this, a faint smile appeared on Su Ming’s lips.

Zelda seemed to be deep in thought.

Once he returned to the Elf Valley, Su Ming first went to check the losses they had suffered in the war and the resources they had obtained with some of the Elf warriors.

It was a rapid and surprise attack, and the difference in strength between the two sides was quite large.

Therefore, this battle was basically a one-sided slaughter from the beginning to the end.

As a result, there were basically no losses in the Elf Valley, and there were no casualties.

As for the rewards… That was a little too much.

Su Ming looked at the long list before him and decided not to look at it. Instead, he asked the people to write two more copies and gave them to Zelda and di Shan.

Su Ming would never spend too much time managing such resources.

In truth, most of the time, Su Ming would not manage these resources in the Elf Valley.

Zelda and Dishan were in charge of most of the resources and development.

That was why Su Ming did not really want to care about the list of resources. He would just let Di Shan and Zelda handle it.

Just as Su Ming was done checking through all the items and was about to head out to level up, someone suddenly opened the tent.

A figure walked in from outside the door.

Chen Yixue stood in front of Su Ming and first scanned the tent. Once she was certain that there was no one around, she relaxed a little.

“Great Prophet, I have something to tell you.”

When Chen Yixue said these words, her expression was obviously a little nervous.

When Su Ming heard these words, he was slightly taken aback at first, but then he nodded and said, “Alright, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Chen Yixue hesitated for a moment before saying, “I want to leave the Elf Valley for a while.”

After Chen Yixue said this, she immediately lowered her head, and the expression on her face was particularly nervous.

When Su Ming heard that, he was slightly taken aback at first, then he said, “Why?”

Su Ming could not quite understand it. After all, Chen Yixue had never mentioned that she wanted to leave the Elf Valley.

She had been living quite comfortably in the Elf Valley, at least to Su Ming, she was living quite comfortably.

When he thought of this, Su Ming could not help but frown slightly.

“Did something happen to your unit?”

When Chen Yixue heard this, she immediately shook her head repeatedly, like a rattle drum that kept shaking.

“It’s not like that. I just have something I want to do.”
